Odd Story

Sarah Beckstrom, a 20-year-old member of the West Virginia National Guard, was shot in an ambush-style attack near Farragut Square in downtown Washington, D.C., at 2:15 PM on 26 November 2025. She died.

Someone around a day into this went to Google-search to see 'activity'....meaning someone doing a search on her name.

Well....around 11AM on 22 November 2025....someone did a search on her name....from Israel.  Four day and 3 hours....prior.

They saved the page and brought this up.....which in a matter of an hour or two....the history was deleted.

I paused over this.

Some suggest a conspiracy....where the dimwit-shooter was ordered in particular to kill her....but it makes little sense....how would the idiot know the patrol shift or area of DC where she would have been at 2PM?

Then I considered the movie Déjà Vu movie concept....which laid out some gov't ability to recall all past activity for seven days.....like a data stream.  

What if this were the reverse of Déjà Vu....forecasting a data stream that was four days ahead.

An odd conspiracy idea....lays out there for several decades.....Die Glocke (“The Bell”).  Allegedly a secret anti-gravity/time-travel device developed in Lower Silesia (now Poland) in 1943–45 under SS General Hans Kammler (who disappeared as the war ended).  

How the Glocke worked? The story goes....it created a torsion field that allowed limited time distortion or glimpses into the future.  No one says the amount of delay....it might be minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months.

Might someone or some group in Israel have the Glocke?  Unknown.

Its just odd....the female guardsman is dead  (the other survives), and someone in Israel had an interest in her name....prior to the death.

This Biden Auto-Pen Deal

 Based off yesterday's chatter....there's one single pardon of 'value' (Hunter's)....the rest appear null-and-void.

The key part to this story? From day one on....the inner-circle knew he was unable to perform at a normal schedule, and they 'managed' him from that point on.

1460 days that you got 'auto-pen' as the President.

No one from CNN asking questions?  Yeah....that pops up in my head often.

Three Observations Over This DC-Shooter Episode

1. First....vetting for the 10-thousand-odd folks was said to be accomplished in 14 days, for this wave of Afghan folks.   I don't buy into this....it's not humanly possible, unless you had a thousand vetting folks.

2. Upon arriving in Washington....the only job for this guy was Amazon....which he either quit, or  was let-go....back  in the summer.  His lifestyle? Mostly a gamer.  

3. Charge of murder?   PTSD will come up, and he'll end up in a mental ward for the rest of his life.

Ten Realities We Are Facing

 1.  At this point....if your goal is four years of college, and hoping that AI won't replace your 'fill-a-job' situation....you are likely betting on the wrong horse.  AC-repair, plumbing, and nursing probably fit better for the next forty years.

2.  At the pace of car prices....about 50-percent of 18-year-olds today will never be able to afford a new car....for the remainder of the life.

3. Three cities likely to achieve Detroit-status (dead): SF, Portland, Vegas. Initial signs by 2030, and all three spiral into position by 2035.

4. If you drug-tested your kid's school-teachers....probably ten-percent have 'something' in their system.

5. If you quizzed hardcore Muslims....more than a third of them believe readily in demons, and likely believe there are more demons in western countries.

6. Pretty hefty odds...ALL Americans will be on Medicare within two years (replacing health-insurance), and 90-percent will then be in a massive stage of anger....'its-not-good-enough'.  

7. By the end of 2026....Kennedy probably will have a massive tax on 'bad-foods' (Twinkies, Pop-Tarts, etc).  

8.  We will discover that aliens exist, then  shockingly enough....discover the Democrats have no anti-aliens position to attack Trump on.

9.  Katlin Clark will leave the WNBA by summer of 2026....to be a pro-golfer.

10.  In the next year or so....we will discover that the majority of high school kids....peaked on knowing 'stuff'...around age 15, and the last three years of school are a total waste.  

Simply A Bet

 This shooting in DC yesterday....two dead Guardsmen...shot by a Afghan asylum guy (settled in the US)....had worked for a CIA-related operation for about 10 years in Afghanistan.

Well...I'm betting once folks arrive in Washington-state...checking out his employment (Amazon)....they find that he's in a social-club of other Afghan asylum guys who meet with their former CIA handlers on a regular basis.

Three Finance Stories

1. I was reading a commentary....over lack of updates with IRS.  So it got  brought up....the capital loss limit was set into stone in 1978....remaining still at $3,000.  If you did inflation upgrades since 1978....it ought to be over $15k today.

Same deal with the dependent care credit....set in stone in 1976.  With  inflation....it should be over $17k today.

2.   Apparently....at least one of Amazon's delivery-drones hit a telephone line/internet cable....now the FAA is investigating.  I'd guess.....it's 50-50 if the drones are allowed to continue.

3. 12-percent of all mortgages....that were at least 3 months delinquent....led to what banks/mortgage companies describe as 'no-contact'....meaning the owner knows it's dead-end situation and doesn't see any clean exit possible.

What AI Will 'Give' Us In Probably A Dozen Years

 1.AI will monitor production  and work performed....identifying 'losers' and 'ethically-challenged-workers'.  

2. I expect by 2035....half the school kids in America by the 6th grade....to be in a cube, and educated by AI....instead of living/breathing teachers.

3. AI will be introduced to airports, monitoring flights and potential safety issues.

4. Several banks by 2030....will have a AI-assisted review of your income and bills....telling them a risk-assessment of you paying back a $75k car loan.   To beat the bank's AI.....you will hire a AI to provide week by week monitoring of the family spending habits.

5. AI will begin by 2030....identifying 'fake-news', misinformation, and bogus-political promises....with several networks forced to CHANGE.

6. A quarter of American society will be hooked up to something called 'Grandma-AI'....telling you 150k recipes, and telling you how to cook from scratch.

7. By 2035....an AI system will be developed to monitor voting processes across the 50-plus states....identifying county-by-county....those engaged in voter-fraud.

8. AI, by 2035....will select weekly rankings of NCAA football teams.

9.  A personality test developed by AI...by 2030....will indicate the success potential of relationships/marriages.....in roughly 95-percent of cases.

10.  An AI will be developed by 2035, which monitors safety and urban threats of the top 100 American cities....triggering the public to realize data and false facts are presenting the wrong landscape for their town.
