Random Musings on Current Events 11.15.24

Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in the media from behind the front lines of a purple state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format and, yes, there may be some sarcasm thrown in.

Nancy Pelosi has filed papers to run for Congress in 2026. Geez, that comes as a shock. How could I have believed for one New York second that a woman such as Mrs. Pelosi would voluntarily give up her seat in Congress? A woman who has enrichened her family and self on the backs of her constituents and the rest of America. A woman who had a Chinese intelligence agent as her driver for years. A woman who just tells us to allow laws to be passed and to read the details later. A woman raised in a household that bleeds cities, states, and now appears hell bent on bleeding a country dry while enrichening theirs and themselves. How could I have ever believed?

President (sic Elect) Trump with help from his team are busy nominating his Cabinet appointments and the pundits and media are greedy to report all the news. I, for one, am interested but only in passing. Time will tell how these appointments go and so I will reserve comment mostly because I am in no way qualified to comment intelligently. The general trend that I have noticed, so far, is that a percentage of his nominees favors those who currently are members of the House Senate or who have been. Does this mean anything? I have no idea as it is just an observation at the moment.

Reflecting on the previous paragraph, I suppose a level of cynicism pervades or perhaps clouds my ability to comment on anyone who has spent time in the swamp as a member of the House or Senate for more than one or two terms. The place really is a swamp and it certainly appears that the longer a person spends time in the morass the more susceptible to being corrupted one becomes. I really do think that perhaps the best way to address this is term limits for our Representatives, Senators, and perhaps a time limit for Senior Executive Staff (SES) level folk in D.C. I really have to question how centralizing power in D.C. is good for the country as D.C. is essentially a parasite on the collective wealth of the united states? Sure, there needs to be a presence in D.C. but does it need to be the behemoth that it has become? In the human body there are, in fact, some good parasites but if left unchecked they become bad parasites. It is obvious to me that D.C. has definitely fallen into the later.

I am happy to read reports that Generals and Admirals are scrambling at the news of DJT’s win. They should be because I have lost confidence in their ability to lead and I have mentioned this before. Are there some who are more warrior than politician? Maybe, however, after watching the way the senior leadership responded to the illegal orders of Secretary Austin regarding COVID jabs, I have my doubts and I wonder I need to be questioning DOD SES leadership as well, especially since they often advise senior military leadership. Trouble is I have some trepidation that the true warrior leaders may have left the military by choice or by force especially at the mid-grade and enlisted levels in the wake of the COVID bull that was foisted on the military. I, for one, am in favor of reinstating all who were forced out or who chose to leave the military early with back pay because of their refusal to take the untested, unlawful jab and to hold accountable all of those who bullied, coerced and forced others to take the unlawful, untested, poisonous jab.

I find it interesting that the Copper, Silver, and Golden States all took forever to count their votes in this most recently held election. Of course, all of the news focused on the Copper and Silver State’s elections and not the Golden States election but it was the same. The only difference is the Golden State has fallen completely into a petty third world status of one party rule. It now appears the rot from the Golden State is nearly complete in the Copper and Silver State and one has to wonder if future elections will be contested? It is so obvious with the passage of election laws during COVID and subsequently enshrined permanently in the Silver State during and immediately after by its super majority Democrat controlled legislature and its Nancy Pelosi backed governor that it will be a long tough road to have truly have two party elections. It is just too easy to figuratively “stuff” the ballot boxes in these states now. We may as well throw Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington into the mix as well. The one common denominator in the corrupting of these states is that the Golden State was the first state to be corrupted and it has spread from there.

God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they are enemies, not enemies or somewhere between. Additionally, forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.

I have to congratulate the Trump team and their successful campaign electing Donald Trump to be the 47^th President of the United States. Personally, I have taken a deep breath knowing the Marxist forces in the united states of America have been dealt a defeat. Of course, I know that their movement is far from being defeated and all one has to do is listen and watch Kamala Harris’ concession speech to see this.

Speaking of Harris’ concession speech I cannot help but wonder if it took her so long to concede because she had to be coached up to say just the right things and use just the right body language to signal the radical left wing elements of the Marxist movement in the united states of America to action. It was too eerily similar to Hillary Clinton’s concession speech in which the way she used Russia to seemingly activate the left wing opposition to action against Donald Trump. I can only hope that it is not the case but I am not confident of this in the least. In fact, I am quite aware of her use of “Constitutional” in her speech and do not believe it was for benign purposes what so ever.

The day after the election I had to opportunity to listen to a National Left Wing Socialist Radio (NPR) broadcast from Sacramento, California. I will admit that I listened to the broadcast because I love listening to hear what these progressive mouth pieces have to say when their cause has been delivered a defeat and I find it satisfying. The broadcasters spent very little time on the national election as if they were pretending it did not happen which was a bit disturbing. What it tells me is that they are in by no way defeated over the long haul.

As if on cue, somehow, I stumbled upon a speech given by California Attorney General Rob Bonta while I was doing some work. When the speech started, I was busy doing work and not watching the television and only listening. When Mr. Bonta started speaking, I thought it was a computer generated voice because of the speeches cadence and tone which really caught my attention. I was listening to the words and I experienced a dissonance in my mind. Then I looked at the screen and I felt a disease that bordered on creepy and was very unsettling especially with Mr. Bonta’s call for California’s “progress” to prevail which, to me, means California’s Progressive, Marxist, Communist one party system to prevail.

Another California Progressive Marxist, California’s Governor Newsom has called for California leaders to prepare for battle against Donald Trump. Why does his rhetoric have to include martial terms and references? Haven’t we had enough of this in the united states of America? On the face of it one could argue that Mr. Newsom is sowing the ground for a Presidential run in 2028, however, there is something more nefarious afoot from what I can glean. California and New York City are ground zero for the Frankist Socialist movements in the USA. Just because President Trump has won his most recent election the Socialists are not even close to being defeated. All they have done is lost a battle but the war (pardon my martial language) is not even close to being over. Personally I believe it is time to reawaken and move the ideological battle front to California in addition to New York city where Donald Trump already has started. This is not a time for true Patriots to rest on their laurels or to sleep.

I read that Meta was denied permission to interconnect a proposed nuclear reactor somewhere in the Southeast of the usA. I am finding it interesting that Meta has now entered the nuclear power field in multiple places not least of which includes Three Mile Island. I am not sure what to make of this just yet but my curiosity is certainly aroused and it is on my radar, so to speak.

The Federal Reserve has cut interest rates another .25% and the news comes the day after the election. This does not surprise me too much and, quite honestly, the .5% cut a few months ago did not surprise me. Do I for one second believe inflation is in check? No, and I do not believe it will benefit me in the least. The Fed is walking a tight rope and I hope they know what they are doing because, considering the financial economy is so out of touch with the real economy, I really do not see how the cuts will help the real economy. Of course, I will be the first to admit that I am not a financial guru by any stretch of the imagination, my experiences are telling me there is not a lot of energy in the real economy. I hope President Trump can change some of this. One thing for certain is Donald Trump has a mandate of sorts from the American people to do so.

In parting, President Trump has a golden opportunity to shake up and clean up Washington D.C. much more so this time than he was able to last time. I hope he does so and that this includes the free lunch that power brokers like Nancy Pelosi have been able to provide the Frankish centers on both sides of the country. Personally, I am OK with letting California, Oregon, Washington, New York, Illinois states go wanting for federal money. Will it be hard on the citizens of these states? Yes, however, the alternative is far worse and perhaps some good will come out of it. These states did not rise to the preeminence that they once held with the help of the Federal Government. They rose because of free markets, free enterprise, free speech and the ability for its citizens to protect themselves and their property. It is time for the elites in these states be held accountable for their corruption, malfeasance, and quite honestly their ineptitude in the pursuit of self-aggrandizement and power. It is time, in my opinion, for the wool that has been pulled over the populations of these states to be pulled back.

I am a couple of days late posting my ramblings, rants, rumbles, and revelations this week. I suppose it is because I really have not been paying too much attention as I have been mourning the loss of my child three years ago who I call a victim of COVID. Not to the disease itself but a victim of the gross overreaction to what essentially was the flu. The overreaction of society and the poisoning of countless millions of people with an unapproved injection which ultimately led to the demise of my child.

Enough of my personal life, for now, and on to the rumblings.

In my introspective moments this past week I was just reminded of the election industry that has formed around, you guessed it, elections. As I continue to receive snail mail flyers, election robo calls, emails, and the worst of them election texts I cannot wonder at how much money is changing hands. The candidates and the machines that support them are constantly on the prowl for donations that in turn are used to fund all these mailings, emails, robocalls, and robo texts. All this capital being spent on useless services that could be spent on improving infrastructure and or being invested in businesses that provide service to a greater swath of society. Instead all of the capital is gathered from the productive businesses and people to be spent by politicians whose sole purpose, for most of them, is to get elected by spending the money on media and advertisements. I just have to ask myself what value does any of this provide me?

If the reader or two of my ramblings is wondering who I am voting for President it obviously is not for the Marxist/Communist liar that is running for President. I watched a collage or sorts on one of the purported MSM news channels detailing how many “changes” in her position she has taken in over the last few years. These included but are not limited to her stance on the border wall, and the second amendment. What strikes me is how brazenly crass she and her handlers are with regard to these issues. I say this because I do not believe for one second that she will not immediately revert back to her previous stances on these issues and that she is just saying these things to get elected.

Speaking of the MSM I have to wonder how much money they are making hyping their preferred candidates all in the name of generating viewership in order to sell advertising and keep themselves afloat? The polls show the candidates are virtually tied and as a person with a little bit of knowledge of statistics I am aware of how easily polls and statistics can be manipulated to serve one’s agenda. For the big media companies their agenda is about making money and in order to do that they need access to politicians and it seems will do anything to gin up viewership, clicks etc. It is like a spectator sport on the national and international scale. The media craves and is in fact addicted to the politicians feeding their spectators. In fact I have heard that each presidential candidate is approaching a billion dollars in campaign spending. How am I to believe or trust anything that comes out of their organizations?

I have noticed in the last two weeks that Harris campaign has really ramped up their campaign ads in my neck of the woods which happens to be a swing county in a swing state. At the same time I have seen reports that Bill Gates through his proxies has donated vast amounts of money to her campaign. This while former members of Trump’s White House staff have come out firmly against Trump. I guess this is the “October Surprise” that I believe we all have been waiting for. So, I suppose it is time for me to weigh in on a couple of observations.

First, I am leery of anything any of the former Generals say with regards to President Trump. I say this because there has been a concerted effort within the military establishment since 9/11 to create a homogenous US Military under the guise of “Joint Warfare”. During the “War on Terror” all the branches of the US Military has developed “Joint Warfare” doctrine which includes special qualification paths, education, deployments, and even working to homogenize uniforms. Just look at the US Navy which discontinued its dungaree uniform for digital camouflage pattern uniforms for sailors to wear at sea. Geez, why does a sailor need to wear a digital camouflage uniform at sea? Is it to blend in with the ocean if they were to fall overboard? During this push to indoctrinate and push the US Military into Joint Warfare all of these Generals were promoted under the guise of being proficient in a war against an enemy that was of little consequence to the once vaunted US military. Not only that, but they also obtained their ranks under the globalist administrations of Bush Jr, and Obama.

To further comment, the Generals and Admirals who have come to rank in the last several decades have done so with the United States being an economic powerhouse in the world. However, thanks to the War on Terror instigated by the civilian leadership in the United States the Generals and Admirals are woefully unprepared for or unable to discuss basic economics and how they impact the United States of America. The Generals and Admirals think in terms of expensive weapons platforms and modern machinery to fight the wars that they have trained to fight. However, they do not seem to take a step back and ask themselves or their staffs the simple question of how these wars and weapons platforms will be paid for? I will submit that the competitors of US and its western allies have asked this question as evidenced by their actions. The formation of BRICS, the Chinese doctrine of Unlimited Warfare are just a couple of examples but are certainly not the only examples one could use as arguments given time.

Harris’ neurolinguistics programming and how her cadence, intonation, and inflections remind me of listening to a San Francisco/Sacramento NPR broadcaster. Let us not forget the oversize influence that California State Berkley Communists have had first in San Francisco Bay area governments and media, then Sacramento and the Republic of California, then the west coast states and that are now pushing into the mountain west and the rest of the United States. The pincer like unlimited warfare campaigns are in full swing pushing in from each coast into the United States interior. Heck, even Liz Cheney and Hillary Clinton have publicly come out in support of Kamala Harris. All this talk of Donald Trump being a threat to democracy rings hollow to me as the only threat is to the deep state’s form of democracy which really is undemocratic and full of grift, graft and corruption and that are always a part of Marxist Communist regimes.

Is it any wonder Donald Trump has struck a nerve in the rest of the United States no matter how imperfect he may be?

I have been somewhat, without emotion, watching the Israeli military operations in Gaza and Lebanon from afar, obviously, and I have to admit it is impressive and I understand why the corrupt war mongering elite leadership in Israel has great support in Israel. The manner and targeting of the IDF makes sense considering the tunnels that everyone knew existed for quite some time but the scale of the tunnel construction in both Gaza and Lebanon has been impressive and eye opening in its own right. As a mostly ambivalent observer the IDF campaign has been impressive in its apparent almost surgical yet brutal precision and speaks to the efficiency of Israeli intelligence. I am impressed, as well, with how the Israelis have closed ranks, so to speak, with what appears the whole of its society supporting the rooting out of the Iranian proxies in both of Israel’s backyards. Have there been atrocities committed by the IDF? Most definitely, the least of which was the multi hour stand-down ordered for the Gazan border defense forces and the murdering of members of this defense force who sounded alarms prior to and on October 7 by the murderous Gazans. It amazes me how on one hand the IDF can conduct such precision operations but somehow did not see the October 7 attacks. Let me state that I do not condone Hamas’ or Israel’s actions in any way shape or form especially as a follower of Christ. However, there is the part of me that understands the anger and outrage that the Israelis have experienced and are subsequently visiting upon their enemies at Israel’s borders. It is an anger that has been building for decades and that after the horrors that were allowed to be inflicted upon Israeli citizens on October 7, 2023, is it any wonder Israel has unleashed their might? Additionally, I have ask myself if any of these atrocities would have occurred had it not been for Biden/Harris and the deep state having allowed the unfreezing of Iranian assets? God bless them all.

RIP my young child on the third anniversary of your passing into God’s hands.

Wow, the Harris campaign must be feeling a bit nervous to allow Kamala to be interviewed by Bret Baier and asking Barack Obama and Bill Clinton to come out of retirement. Evidently, the basement campaign strategy is failing. Did anyone else but me notice that Kamala Harris appeared to be wearing the same earrings in her Fox interview that she wore during her debate with Donald Trump?

I still do not know anything different about Kamala Harris after the interview other than she and her handlers have some sort of fetish about Donald Trump. I cannot believe how many times she blamed Donald Trump for the country and world’s woes. I do not need to spend any more time on this as it has become so obvious that even Fox News jumped on this point. I will say one thing, however, and that is I have to agree with the questions wondering where VP Harris has been the last three and a half years?

Kamala finally admitted that she will be different than Joe Biden. Yes Kamala, I do believe that you will be different than Joe Biden. Your administration will be more Marxist and will work to further centralize power in Washington D.C. You claim that you are for small business but it is just smoke being attempted to be blown up my backside. Small business is completely anathema to Marxist ideology that seeks to consolidate power into government elites. Small businesses will be some of the first to be taken down by your handlers.

Secondly, Barack Obama coming out to speak makes some sense considering he is a dyed in the wool true believer of Marxist anti-American ideals and norms. I do not agree with a word that he says and as far as I am concerned, he should never be allowed near any levers of power again, however, he is a believer and I have to respect that. However, it seems that his stump for Kamala is backfiring. I suppose his time on ‘da Vineyard has softened him a little and he is more out of touch. Besides his community organizing organization has taken some hits in the last four years not the least of which Black Lives Matter was exposed for the grift that his “community organizing (sic Marxist)” movement truly is.

Bill Clinton on the other hand is nothing but a dressed up cheap petty criminal who unfortunately amassed way too much power and wealth to become much more than a cheap petty criminal. We should be calling him the predator in chief. Just ask Juanita Broaddrick and all the others who have been abused or murdered around the Clintons. Whoa, maybe not, he is a creation of the CIA after all and we would not want anyone to run afoul of that foul organization.

Another item that bothers me about Kamala Harris is that she has never had a child and suddenly wants to be in charge of a nation. To me one of the highest callings in life is to bring new life into the world and raise them to be productive citizens of one’s community with all of the challenges, tribulations, and sometimes tragedy associated with this endeavor. I will say having children has caused me to reflect on myself many times and has no doubt wizened and matured me in ways that I would have never expected. Kamala Harris has no perspective in this manner and how can I trust her to make decisions with regards to the potential sacrifices that she may have to ask my fellow Americans of their children in the military and elsewhere?

On to another subject I read the DOJ is suing the state of Virginia for cleaning its voter rolls and from what I have heard and read the state is doing it legally and in an ad hoc manner. This at the same there are reports that forced labor of migrants has tripled in the last couple of years. The DOJ files frivolous suits and charges against Donald Trump but there is active multinational paramilitary organizations (i.e. drug cartels) operating inside the borders of the United States and the DOJ does nothing. Tell me the DOJ is not politicized or corrupt and I will call you blind, a gas lighting shill or maybe even a sympathizer.

Good timing on the part of the FBI to revise 2023 violent crime rates as compared to 2022’s violent crime rates. Instead of there being a decrease of 2.1% the real numbers reflect an increase of 4.5%. I have to thank Fox News for picking this change up because the Harris campaign and other Democratic Party surrogates have made plenty of hay on the former more favorable numbers. Yet another example of how much the deep state despises and is fearful of Donald Trump.

I watched the breaking news of Yahya Sinwar’s death and took pause. First, a man died and I prayed for his soul because from what I know of him it is needed. Second, I have to wonder what is next? I listened to Michael Orn a former Israeli Ambassador to the US connect Hamas and Hezbollah to Iran and then Iran to Russia in an almost casual manner and I got uncomfortable. It is almost as if Israel has been pushing, goading, and enticing the US to go to war against Iran for a long time. Sure, the mullahs in Iran a not good people but the whole of Iran which a war will drag down? Something is amiss here and I personally have no stomach for any more war’s half a world away from me that really do not directly affect me.

Something that does directly affect me is the war in my own country that is being waged by foreign military para military units and their sympathizers operating independently against underfunded, improperly trained, and out of their league law enforcement in the united states of America. It is becoming clear to me that the only way to root out the foreign criminal cartels and their influence in the united states of America is through direct military action. There is precedence for this action going back to the raising of an Army under “Black Jack” Pershing and under the Eisenhower Administration after World War 2. There is a foreign invasion happening right now in our country and the trouble is the politicians and powers to be have either been too corrupted or are too afraid to admit it. This while US troops and billions of dollars are sent to the Middle East and more billions of dollars are sent to Ukraine? What? You have got to be kidding me. Where are the adults in charge of the United States?

I suppose what further solidified my perceptions leading to my writing the previous paragraph is I read that the Gulf Cartel silenced the Mexican press’ reporting of the death of Perex “El Gume” Maya’s death in Matamoros recently. In an example of how organized this cartel is they have a middle man who essentially tells the Mexican press what they can and cannot report on with regards to the cartel. This man is essentially the cartels Minister of Information. These cartels are sophisticated, flush with money, ambitious, and rival the Mexican state in terms of power and influence and need to be treated as such.

I read somewhere that the San Diego State University women’s volleyball team has a transgender player on it and several teams in their conference are refusing to play against them. The latest being the University of Nevada’s women’s volleyball team. First, I am proud of the players who are refusing to play San Diego State’s team and who would rather take a loss than bow down to the leftist anti life ideology. Secondly, I glad to see that, in the case of the University of Nevada, administration coming out with statements saying they will not punish the players. However, the administrations statement are riddled with attorney speak and it does not go far enough. There is no ambiguity in this matter. If a person has an XY chromosome pair they should not be allowed to compete in a XX chromosome pair league or sport. End of story, no further debate needed. This all is just another distraction to keep our minds off of the corruption and ineptitude of the real problems in the United States. One example of which I described in the preceding paragraph.

I almost forgot to mention that evidently there has been a Marburg virus outbreak in Rwanda. I have been waiting for something like to happen and here it is. Right on time, less than three weeks before the election. What a surprise.

Yet another hurricane has struck the US Mainland and fortunately for Floridians it appears the state is much more prepared and they have a state government that does not rely too heavily on the Federal Government. I pray for the souls of those who have died, for those who are homeless, and for those who are working tirelessly on the relief efforts.

It appears the Democratic Party have pulled the big guns out now to campaign form Comrade Kamala. On the one hand we have a true believer in Marxist ideology in the guise of Comrade Barak and on the other hand we have the criminal in chief Bill Clinton.

I have been reading and listening to some who discuss the possibility of weather engineering and, quite honestly, I did not give it too much of my attention. However, in the recent months I am starting to wonder how advanced this science has become and, as such, how much is it being used against humanity. Of course all of the evidence that I am going to present for the moment is based upon my own observations but I will submit it is evidence, nonetheless. Case 1, hurricanes seem to be more violent and deadly than in the past and target rural America and areas that typically do not support Washington D.C. and the deep state (i.e. Appalachia and Florida) and not Miami or Atlanta for instance. Case 2, is it me or are the skies dimmer in your part of the world? I have for a while attributed this to increasing population causing more pollution which in turn has dimmed the skies but I am not so sure anymore. I say this especially considering all of the emission requirements in our now gutless cars that cost more and last a shorter amount of time thanks to government standards. Case 3, the wild extremes in weather. The western US has gone from drought to extreme rain and flooding and now is experiencing higher and drier temperatures than normal for this time of year. This does not even consider what is happening in the rest of the United States. If this is indeed happening and a government agency or agencies are responsible for this and hiding it under some sort of security classification it should be investigated and exposed to the public eye and light. Something does not sit right about this especially if they are hiding it under a security classification.

Speaking of FEMA mismanagement and FBI obfuscation I read in the past week or so that the US Bureau of Alcohol and Firearms (BATF) was the lead agency on the Lahaina, HI fire that devastated the town. First, I am curious as to why the BATF was the lead agency when the FBI was originally on scene as the lead Federal investigations agency? Why did it take so long to blame the conflagration on a reflash fire from a previous fire stated by failed power lines? Finally, for now, have the land owners been allowed back to their properties yet? This kind of information is never reported on and sometimes I have to wonder why.

Speaking of FEMA, why is Alejandro Mayorkas still head of the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS)? Let’s see, the southern border has been left wide open under his DHS, the Secret Service has bungled security two times that we know of on Donald Trump who is only alive right now by the grace of God, FEMA has bungled its response to hurricane Helene, an Afghan who was vetted by the CIA and allowed into the country was arrested for plotting an election day attack, the Department of Justice has obviously been used for political purposes to attack Democratic and opponents of the US deep state and all of these agencies fall under the DHS. Is it because Mayorkas is a George Soros guy? Is it because he is a DEI hire? Or perhaps it is because the DHS is too big to be under one cabinet level person? What I think needs to happen is the DHS needs to be split up. It is too big and too many agencies with differing and far ranging missions are under the DHS’s purview. Not only that, but we can also see how easily it can be corrupted and used as a political weapon and the appearance of these fare and wide ranging agencies are being potentially used against those who have been deemed enemies by the deep state and by extension DHS’s leadership.

So I have heard recently that the Bush’s are privately anti Trump and are supporting Kamala Harris. As if anyone else needed any further proof that there is an inner group of people in the United States who span both parties and are cut from the same cloth.

Why does NPR still get public funding especially considering how left wing and controlled by the deep state it is? Oh, wait a minute, I guess I answered my question in my question. It is so obviously controlled by the deep state and by extension it shows how corrupt and left wing the deep state has become. Just a recent perusal of its website shows a fluff piece on Kamala Harris and two blatantly anti -Trump pieces, one of which, is an obvious advertisement for a new movie called “The Apprentice” which is a propaganda hit piece on Donald Trump being coincidently released in the month before the election. Shocking isn’t it or perhaps it is all “fake news” which seems to be the lefts catch phrase of the week. Just like them rascally Russians are responsible for everything wrong now it is fake news. S

It is now apparent that Israel has opened a second front against radical Islamic terrorists backed by Iran in Lebanon by going after Hezbollah. From a purely clinical tactical point of view, which I am not in the least qualified to comment on but will nevertheless, it makes sense. Obviously, a lot of intelligence has been gathered in Israel’s invasion of Gaza along with years if not decades of intelligence gathering that has allowed Israel to effectively pinpoint Hezbollah leadership and eliminate them. I am further impressed from a pure tactical point of view how Israel attacked Hezbollah and immediately pounced on splinter Hamas groups attempting to reorganize in northern Gaza when Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were “distracted” in Northern Israel and Lebanon.

It is impressive how united and determined Israel is to eliminate the terrorists in these areas. So impressive and efficient it makes me wonder even more how it was that the Hamas animals were able to do what they did now more than a year ago on October 7 and no one is allowed to ask this question. It makes me pause and wonder just how far Netanyahu and his coalition could be willing to go up to and including the sacrifice of his fellow country men, women, and children. How come this has not been investigated or questioned?

What I do know for certain is a lot of distraction, obfuscation and money is changing hands as a result of this war and there appears to be a willingness to escalate as evidenced by the killing of Hasan Nasrallah who is purportedly and direct descendant of the Islamic prophet Mohammed in the Shia sect. If this is true, does it really matter? Probably not considering that he was the ninth child of ten from his father but intriguing, nevertheless. What is obvious is that Israels actions are relatively pinpoint from a war perspective and that they are going after the heads of these Iranian backed terrorist organizations with a vengeance.

Rest in Peace Ethel Kennedy and my condolences to her family and as well to all the victims of the most recent hurricanes.

Oh my Liz Cheney is pining for a new conservative party in the Unites States. More like a re-branding of the Neo Con party for elites. After all Dick and Liz have endorsed Kamala Harris. Geez, whose side are they on?

Speaking of Neocons it seems Senator Graham is calling out and emphasizing the threat to Donald Trump from the Iranians as anti-Iranian rhetoric is ramping up in the media and as Israel has turned it eye north and is attacking the Iranian backed Hezbollah in Lebanon. This is frightening to me because I can easily see the potential for something to happen in the US and Iran be blamed for it in order to draw the US into overt war against Iran. In the meantime I will pray that if there are plans of the Neo Cons and Deep State folks to do something nefarious that it is quashed before it manifests. Too many coincidences are currently lining up to make me feel at ease.

Kamala Harris is skipping the Al Harris dinner and is the first candidate in decades to skip this dinner. Normally I would not give a whit about this because it is in New York City and as far as I am concerned New York City brands themselves as the be all to end all and I will admit there has been reason for this, however, New York may as well be a foreign country to me. However, Kamala Harris skipping out on this is telling. She either does not have the capacity for extemporaneous conversation, is vehemently anti-Christian and Catholic, or all of the above plus more. My guess is that her handlers are terrified of what she might do. Who knows?

Interesting that the union that IRS workers belong to has endorsed Kamala Harris. Interesting that Barrack Obama was famous for organizing the Service Employees Union that represents many government employees. Interesting the union such as the Teamsters who organize workers in the private sector will not endorse Kamala Harris. Yet another pieces of evidence that big government supports Barack, oops, Kamala Harris.

I found it interesting that French President Macron has shuffled his cabinet to include many so called center right and conservative members but this includes no one from Marine LePen’s party. Interesting that it appears to be a maneuver to co-opt LePen’s movement at some level. I wonder if the gambit will pay off for Mr. Macron?

So, as if they have nothing else to worry about, Sir Keir Starmer’s government is cracking down on pubs in the UK at the same time he is reducing pensioner’s winter fuel allotments. Doesn’t this seem reminiscent of the COVID lock downs in which people could not publicly gather. What is Sir Keir concerned about? Is he afraid that as his constituents are ripping darts and slamming beers, they might actually talk bad about his government and himself? Perhaps the Islamic element in the UK’s government have finally gained enough power to reduce a mainstay of English society in which the English socialize and that they frown upon because it is against Sharia Law to partake in? Whatever the reason, and I am not much of a drinker, the reason cited, public health, seems like a bunch of gas lighting on the surface to me.

So, New York City’s Mayor Eric Adams is under indictment ostensibly for accepting an upgrade to first class on a flight by interests of Turkey about a year after he called out how the resettling of illegal immigrants was taxing the city of New York’s resources. This indictment coming from the same DOJ that has indicted Donald Trump. Hmm, not that Eric Adams is a saint but something sure is fishy with this. I guess it does not pay to call out the Harris/Biden administration in public, even if one is a liberal Democrat.

I sure wish Paul Pelosi would start a newsletter for us less connected investors. His track record of investing success is phenomenal and I sure would pay a little to make the kind of investing moves that he does. Can you believe his latest stroke of genius selling his Visa stock the week before the DOJ filed an antitrust lawsuit against Visa? He truly is the man when it comes to investing.

The gyrations, actions, and assertions of the press and the lack of any of the aforementioned regarding the most recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump has done nothing but solidify my opinion of the main stream media and the bureaucratic state apparatus in the United States. All I can do is pray for those who can be reached by prayer the make up this apparatus and for those who have been and will be victimized by it.

Speaking of Donald Trump’s would be assassin the question, which albeit is a bit rhetorical, is where did Routh get his money? How did a man who purportedly is a roofer manage to travel back and forth from the Carolinas to Hawaii and then to the Ukraine and back? I know the powers to be do not want to speak the big “c” word but it is obvious that there is a conspiracy behind all of this. There I typed the word.

I saw this past week that the median income in the United States is now $80,610 according to realtor.com. I think this figure caught my attention is because it certainly is trending higher. Trending at the rate of inflation? No way.

Speaking of inflation it seems the Federal Reserve has flinched and lowered their lending rate a half a point this past week. I do not know about anyone else but it did not surprise me and I am already prepared for the next round of inflation. No, I am not speaking of the supposed inflation reported as the Consumer Price Index but rather real inflation. Like paying more for food, energy, and clothing.

I suppose we all need to think twice about where we obtain our electronic goods going forward. Of I have to say that I was quite surprised when I learned of the attack on Hezbollah using exploding pagers and walkie talkies. My surprise that pagers are still being used in parts of the world. My prayers go out to the victims of these attacks and to the perpetrators of these attacks.

I wonder if I painted my dog with black spots people would think they are pandas? I just have to shake my head at what the zoo in China did. Maybe I should paint stripes on them and pass them off as Zebras native to North America.

Yet another assassination attempt on Donald Trump? What? This time while he was playing golf and certainly not a public event. You have got to be kidding me? Two attempts in about two months and the common denominator now seems to be the Secret Service more and more. In Pennsylvania it has become more and more evident the Secret Service leadership did not assign the proper team to protect a man who not only is a Presidential candidate but evidently had an increased threat profile from Iranian sources. Now, how is it that a shooter was able to target the former President without some for knowledge that Donald Trump would be playing golf when he was and where he was playing? It is becoming more and more evident that there needs to be more of a shake up in the highest levels of the Secret Service starting with the current head, yet again.

Oh by the way, I have absolutely no faith that the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who is in charge of the current investigation, will do anything but cover up the truth. Sorry Attorney General Garland your speech this last week did nothing to assuage my concerns with regards to the politicization of the Department of Justice and the FBI. To me the speech was nothing but another attempt to gaslight the average everyday American.

So, Boeing is experience a strike and the workers are asking for more pay. Apparently, there has not been a new contract in many many years and all the while Boeing management has been running the company into the ground. I am not sure if the rot is in the Board of Directors or the CEO’s, one of which recently, parted ways with the company. On top of that the new CEO has gotten promises of some obscene amounts of bonuses that are completely unrelated to his performance. Quite honestly, I cannot blame the rank and file for striking because it appears their wages have not kept up with inflation. The trouble is due to mismanagement and what appears to be gross fleecing of the company there is not a whole lot to give the workers. I think, if I were the workers, I would take what management is offering but in addition I would demand ownership of the company because the current ownership is obviously failing what was once a mighty and prestigious company.

So, Taylor Swift, Pfizer’s poster girl has come out endorsing Kamala Harris for President. All this tells me is Pfizer does not want President Trump elected which, to me, is in Donald Trump’s favor. Thank you, Ms. Swift, for enlightening me on this matter.

I watched part of the Presidential debate the week before last and I say part, because I could not stomach it after Donald Trump was interrupted and “fact checked” the third of fourth time. Not only that I could no longer watch Kamala Harris’ feigned smile and condescending look in the split screen. I agree that Donald Trump could have done better but did he really need to? There is no substance or integrity behind Kamala Harris and I think the American public, at large, is waking up to this fact. I for one am not better off now than I was 3 and half years ago. I, like President Trump, have to ask why she has done nothing the last 3 ½ years she has been in office.

Speaking of do nothing hires in the Joe Biden administration it seems that Pete Buttigieg our Secretary of Transportation is going after the regulation of airline mileage points. What? Airline mileage points? What about what is arguably the most toxic release of chemicals this country has ever seen in Pennsylvania? What about the nations crumbling infrastructure and the rest of the infrastructure bill that so far has seen $7.5 billion spent to install 7 vehicle charging stations? My gut tells me that Secretary is yet another political appointment of what essentially amounts to a vacant suit to disguise giant money laundering schemes to pay off political cronies on the taxpayer’s back.

Random Musings on Current Events 8.9.2024: Olympics, Government, and California

I am trying to decide what is worth rambling about this week but as I am sure anyone who has lost a child can relate to this week has been one of those weeks. A week of waking up and not liking where I am or liking how I feel. Sure I could get a drink or find some other way to numb the feeling but I am choosing not to. I can still function, mostly, and so I am choosing to not escape but rather learn how to still engage the world with the pain.

One of the items I could ramble about are the Olympics and all that is transpiring around this even. However, I am not really paying attention because it is difficult to listen to the announcers and the advertising. I watched it one night and I did not feel good the next day. It almost felt as if there is some sort of signal being put out through the sound on NBC’s transmission that is not healthy. I could be imagining things but it was enough for me to know that I do not want to watch any more.

Then there is the world and everything that is simmering below the surface. It seems the media is in a sort of semi hiatus because of the Olympics. Not too much is being brought out or too much hay is being made by the MSM because of the Olympics.

Speaking of not too much hay being made, it has become even more clear in the last week that there were multiple shooters during the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Of course we are not hearing any of this in the MSM but it is so obvious and so depressing how corrupt it appears the national security apparatus is in the United States. Now the leaders of the FBI, CIA, and USSS hare refusing to cooperate with the Congressional committee probing the assassination attempt. Just what if anything are they hiding? Sure, Congress has been known to grandstand for political purposes but needless to say Congress pays these Security organization’s bills. I would like to see Congress withhold the CIA’s, FBI’s, and USSS’s funding for all capital projects and freeze hiring right now. Pass an emergency bill today that would do this until there is some cooperation. Will Congress do this? No, I am sure the CIA and FBI have dirt on powerful Congressmen and are blackmailing them.

California’s continued mismanagement of their forests the past several decades continues with rural towns and the states downwind of California paying the price as wildfires continue to rage and spew their toxic venom. Who are the real powers behind the corrupt Newsom and Pelosi? These are the people that need to be held accountable.

Speaking of holding people accountable I heard an interview with Tulsi Gabbard this week in which she articulated very well the problem that we are facing with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. In particular, she mentions how Joe Biden has not had the capacity to make decisions for quite a while and so what it means is that someone or someone’s have been making decisions and that these people are not the ones elected by the American people. Therefore, they cannot be held accountable at the ballot box and Tulsi Gabbard is right. However, these people do not have Presidential immunity and so could they not be held accountable in other ways? Treason for one floats to the top of my head. They are running a confidence game on the American people outside of the Constitutional powers granted to the Executive and purposely subverting and ignoring the Constitution and laws. The 25^th Amendment is the first that comes to mind. But then again, I am just a dumb engineer with no social skills and who deals with the laws of nature and not the subjective laws of an elite.
