Random Musings on Current Events 9.20.2024

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.

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.

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.

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.

Random Musings on Current Events 8.2.2024; Olympics, California and the Democratic Communist Party of America

Joe Biden is no longer running for President and the Democratic Party’s politburo has settled upon Kamala Harris who is and Oakland, California native and started her political career in San Francisco. Her political career really took off when she began to sleep with Willie Brown then and still a major political power in San Francisco and arguable in the republic of California. I had a chance to visit Oakland last summer to watch a professional baseball game and let me tell you I have seen third world countries in better shape than Oakland. Do not even get me started on San Francisco, a city overrun with drug addicts and petty crime that no one is willing to clean up until a foreign dictator decides to pay it a visit.

Speaking of cleaning up I read that the city of Los Angeles has decided to clean up its homeless city, I mean, encampment that purportedly has a population of around 180,000. The same one the I wrote about in 2023 that I could smell on the I-5 when traveling north from San Diego. Geez, call me cynical, but I have to wonder if it is because it is an election year? Or could it be that Governor “Gruesome” Newsom was told by the Democratic politburo that the reason he could not run for president is because of the gross mismanagement of California citing the Los Angeles homeless encampment as an example, for instance. I cannot help but wonder which politically connected businesses have gotten the billion dollars or more allocated for the failed homelessness “solutions” over the past few years? Now, who is going to foot the bill to clean up the waste? I wonder in Grandma Nancy Pelosi still has the juice to pull more bailout for California out of Congress? Who am I kidding we all know she sits on the Politburo.

I watched Karine Jean Pierre’s first press conference after Joe Biden was removed by the politburo and talk about gas lighting. I could only watch it for about five minutes before the urge to vomit became so great I had to turn the channel off.

I still have to ask myself if Joe Biden is not fit to run for office then why is he being allowed to still hold the office. What was the 25th Amendment passed and ratified for?

Speaking of gas lighting I am a bit amused at how hard it has been for the FBI and deep state in the USA to spin a narrative that actual sticks regarding the assassination attempt of Donald Trump. From what I see, hear, and deduce there was easily more than one shooter and there were too many “coincidences” lining up in terms of failed security. Now I learn that former USSS Director Cheatle was in the room with then Vice President Cheney on Sept 11, 2001, when Cheney assumed presidential powers for a short time. She is so deep state, come on. Now, let’s get after Secretary Mayorkis and his involvement or feigned lack of involvement in the failed assassination attempt. Speaking of which there is too much power consolidated in the Department of Homeland Security and agency that has way too many internal security organizations reporting to it. It has obviously become too powerful and it appears to be too corrupt to police itself and it increasingly appears to be acting outside Constitutional limits.

Once again, I can only imagine that Joan D’Arc and Charlemagne rolled over in their graves when the Paris Olympic games opening ceremony was underway. As I mentioned in a previous Random Musings I, gratefully, did not watch the ceremony and it was only after I made my last post that I learned of the distasteful if not outright anti-Christian Last Supper disgrace. Is it any wonder France has lost her standing in the world these past couple of centuries. Sure, Louis and Marie were not good and there needed to be a change in France, no doubt. But in the process France threw out the Christian Church and has been invaded several times by Russians, Germans, and followers of Islam. All the while its godless rulers try to maintain the illusion that they are control while Notre Dame was no doubt burned down by terrorists, their most recent elections were so obviously and blatantly corrupted and the followers of the dark one corrupted what should be an inclusive event, whose roots trace back to the cradle of western civilization in Greece not Persia, Asia, or Africa, and have alienated me and many many others.

Random Musings on Current Events 7.18.24 and an Attempted Assassination

When I started typing up this rant last week I typed about the kerfuffle over President Biden’s performance in the most recent presidential debate. I wrote about how entertaining it was to watch Hollywood and Washington elites and how uncomfortable they were with the sudden dawning that there was a chance that Joe Biden could lose the next election. Especially how uncomfortable they were with the worst kept secret of the last four years being exposed for all to see. Specifically, that Joe Biden is a man in his dotage who has experienced noticeable physical and more importantly mental decline over the past several years.

I rumbled about how if ever there has been a case that the 25^th Amendment should or could be invoked perhaps this was a time for doing so. However, in light of the event of this past weekend and the ensuing actions and inaction of the Joe Biden administration it has become even more apparent that there really is no one individual steering the ship or if someone or some persons are indeed steering the ship this person or persons are evil.

From where I am sitting, I am one of many who are thanking God that Donald Trump is still alive today. Quite honestly if last Saturday were to repeat itself 99 other times Donald Trump would not be alive today. What happened last Saturday should not have been allowed to get to the level it did and the rot that allowed this comes directly from D.C. and more of the rot seems to be exposed daily.

First, why did FBI Director Wray, Secret Service Director Cheatle and especially Secretary Mayorkis not immediately, on Saturday, hold a joint press conference? Was it because they could not wake up Joe Biden? Was it because the politburo propping up Joe Biden could not convene until Monday to determine what the official executive response would be?

Once Director Cheatle responded it had to be the most feeble and ridiculous response that could have come out of a senior level official. I am not a fan of former Attorney General Bill Barr but he hit the nail on the head in an interview in which he said Director Cheatle should be fired for being “tin eared” if for nothing else. For that matter I would include pretty much the whole Biden administration as being tin eared. Safety of a sloped roof which in fact is barely sloped, agents stationed inside the building and not outside, and the fact that she will not resign has left me flabbergasted and my intelligence insulted. I do not know why it left me flabbergasted considering how many generals got extra stars after the botched Afghanistan withdrawal and that Secretary Austin is still the Secretary of Defense. Do I expect anyone to resign or be fired? No. Should there be resignations and or firings? Yes, absolutely.

Then as if to add further insult Secretary Mayorkis’ response was to ask Congress for more money for the Secret Service or he will have to use people from other parts of the Dept of Homeland Security. This coming from the man whose department has failed to protect the border. Deflect and blame others for one’s own incompetence, malfeasance and or to obfuscate one’s own true anti American intent for the DHS and its departments.

Obviously, the group running the Executive right now is merely a reflection of the man at the top or perhaps he is the reflection of them. It lacks energy, it lacks focus and it appears more and more incompetent by the day. Now there are reports that a company shorted 12 million shares of DJT stock last Friday betting that the price of the stock would fall. Now I have to wonder if there is more to it than a lack of energy, focus and incompetence. Could this company have had some insider information? Now, it seems there could be a malicious intent behind this incompetence and I have to wonder if the lack of focus, energy and incompetence is merely a cover to allow for the rot, maliciousness and evil to fester and spread? I am finding it difficult to accept that the shooter was acting alone and speaking for myself to restore my trust in these institutions is going to take far more than just the firing of Director Cheatle.

As if that is not enough to rant about concerning the comings and goings of the D.C. now it appears President Biden’s campaign is on life support with it losing support from a growing number of Democrat Party elites. Here is a man who had no opposition in the primary because the biggest threat to him from within the part was essentially drummed out of the party and, ironically, denied Secret Service protection despite his father and uncle having been assassinated. Now this same Democrat Party elite is going push Biden aside and essentially put another candidate forward without a primary in which rank and file Democrats could vote. One can only wonder who the Democrat Party politburo will put forward and I have to wonder if President Biden’s, yawn, Covid diagnosis was merely the public excuse to obfuscate his being summoned back to D.C. by this same politburo.

Does anyone else wonder why the Communist News Network (CNN) is releasing its exclusive challenging the Pentagon’s narrative of the homicide bomber attack on August 26, 2021, at Kabul’s International Airport? I have written how it was a complete and utter failure of American US military leadership and my questioning of how come not a single senior officer, Secretary of Defense or President Biden have been held to account for this unnecessary tragedy. Now, we learn as matter of fact that the US military changed and left out a full accounting of events on that day. Personally I understand that US Marines may have fired into the crowd as Islamic terrorists were well known for their complex attacks in which a homicide bomber would blow himself up and then as a follow up other terrorists would shoot others in the confusion. So what, fog of war. I still see no one asking for an accounting from or for General McKenzie, his subordinate commanders, Secretary of Defense Austin or President Biden. I still have no faith or confidence, and even less so now, in any of these folk’s leadership.

The sham trial of Donald Trump continues on and, no, I am not following it day to day because I do not have time for this. I am too busy deleting and reporting as spam all of the spam texts and emails from political campaigns asking for my money.

The University of Southern California has canceled its main commencement ceremony due to “ongoing campus protest/unrest”. As if like clockwork The Summer of Love Redux seems to be heating up again exactly four years later. What a coincidence, a presidential election year in which Donald Trump is polling better than Joe Biden. I wonder why USC does not request assistance from local law enforcement to arrest those who are breaking the law like at the University of Texas, Austin did? Perhaps, the USC administrators are afraid it’s leftist faculty will protest much as UT Austin’s leftist faculty did, perhaps the USC administrators are leftists themselves, or maybe they just plain and simply have no backbone to support and defend the rule of law. Funny how USC is a private University as is Columbia, George Washington University, and NYU. Glad that I am not a parent paying tuition to any of these so called institutions of higher learning.

I certainly hope Merrick Garland is charged with contempt of Congress. Will it mean much? Who knows.

I logged onto Facebook for the first time in months yesterday and was inundated with adds featuring young scantily clad women, hopefully not girls, asking to be my friend, chat and blah blah blah with very few posts from my contacts. Evidently these are “AI” generated adds. What a ruthless, greedy, unscrupulous no good group of people at Facebook.

Speaking of election year shenanigans it seems that inflation actually increased based on reports released in the last week. It will be interesting to see what side of the political aisle, if any, the bankers are on in the coming weeks and months. Will the Federal Reserve change their targets to justify lowering interest rates, maintain current interest rates or increase rates which any sane person would do with no political skin in the game. One thing for certain the bankers have no interest in my lifestyle or for that matter whether I live or die. They are only concerned with maintaining their lifestyles and power on the backs of the majority of people.

Random Musings on Current Events 3.29.24

Life has gotten away from me, yet again, the past several weeks and I am finally getting down to do some ramblings, rumblings, and rants.

First off, my condolences and prayers go out to victims, victims’ families and citizens of Moscow, Russia in the aftermath of the tragic “terrorist” attack this past week. No matter who was responsible I think we can all agree that the individuals responsible are followers of those beings who espouse death over life.

The Dali running into the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, the first city destroyed by the D’Alessandro’s, has certainly caught my attention in the last week. Of course the finger pointing and narrative control regarding the cause and responsibility is spinning up and who knows if we will ever really know what caused the ship to run into the bridge. What I can say for certain is a major east coast harbor is going to be shut down for a long time and even longer a major freeway bypass of Baltimore will be shut down for a long time. Like COVID its impacts to the economy will reverberate for years to come. And like COVID we have inept and corrupt politically appointed individuals in charge of the government side of this, for example Transportation Secretary Buttigieg.

I would like to know and perhaps I should investigate if there is any way to report or block the robo texts that I am receiving from political candidates? A few years ago I donated to a candidate once and now I receive more robo texts than I do actual texts from people I know. Quite frankly it is irritating and gives me further reason to not trust the political machine operating in this country.

It seems that Donald Trump has not lost one whit of momentum in his quest to secure yet another nomination for the Republican part in his quest for another term as President. I found it interesting that I was still getting robo texts from Niky Haley before Super Tuesday and could not help but wonder what her or her handler’s agenda really was? Obviously, she is not representing my interests but rather a group of very wealthy individuals.

I am finding it interesting to read U.S. Grant’s first State of the Union Address and how much Sate of the Union addresses have devolved into grandstanding without stating any pertinent facts. Now a days it all seems to be about getting reelected. Joe Biden’s most recent State of Union was a far cry from those of yore and a complete waste of energy, breath, and time, no doubt.

I really find it ironic that Joe Biden and others in the uni-party are commenting that Donald Trump is losing his mental faculties? Yeah, right, whatever. They are back to projecting onto others whatever they are guilty of.

If anyone who reads my posts thinks that I am a fan of Donald Trump and his family please guess again. I really am not considering how readily President Trump pushed Operation Warp Speed and cow towed to the establishment during his first term. For now I will chalk it up to a bit of political naivete or perhaps fear that the CIA and other intelligence agencies would JFK him. Trouble is I really do not know. What I do know is that the stage was set for O’Biden and international interests to destroy the nation’s economy and freedoms and, subsequently, create a lost generation in our country in the name of a crisis. A crisis that eerily mimicked a bad flu season.

My internet has been quite sporadic and not too robust this last week or so. There are rumblings of impending attacks on the US infrastructure to include the internet. Sometimes I cannot help but wonder if the groundwork is being prepared for such an attack. This especially considering how much Donald Trump is leading in the polls and considering what the world political elites did to the world the last time he was in the lead.

Senator Mitch McConnell has announced that is going to retire in November. Interesting that it comes on the heels of a new book being released that details the Chinese Communist influence in United States politics. I have not heard that the senator’s name is included in the book and if this is the case I cannot help but wonder if a deal was struck to keep his name out of the book? Or perhaps, his name is mentioned in the book and the senator is preempting his moves prior to its release? Whatever, it certainly did not stop him, his cronies, and the other uni party senators and representatives from passing the sham $1.2 billion dollar budget, did it? What a joke.

Lastly, I wish all well in the celebration of Christ’s resurrection this weekend.

Random Musings on Current Events 2.16.2024

A George Soros linked fund is poised to take control of the second largest chain of radio stations in the United States. Geez, could the state of broadcast radio get any worse than it already is? Evidently so.

I read that the World Economic Forum believes “Minor-Attracted People deserve equal rights.” This as the European Union has or is proposing to legalize child porn. I am currently wishing that I had not eaten the second half of my danish this morning because my stomach is knotting up with a sensation of nausea spreading throughout my body. This is not only gross but wrong at all levels. I hope there is a special place in hell for these people. This is evil and rotten to the core.

Pfizer won the Superbowl this year, no doubt. Their media creations Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were good investments for them. Whatever, I am glad that I did not watch the game surrounded in a spectacle and shrouded in evil.

Fani Willis, blah blah blah, Donald Trump, blah blah blah while pedophilia is being pushed and the continuance of human trafficking (aka slave trade) continues. However, this time it is not on just national scales but on an International scale and very few are talking about this.

A Massachusetts Senator (Edward Markey) and Senator Laphonza Butler from California have cosponsored a bill called the “Preventing Private Military Act of 2024. Evidently alarm bells are being sounded that this could prevent any private event from being able to use deadly force when threatened by someone threatening life at the event. This could apply across the spectrum, to include churches which have increasingly come under threat with several shootings in the last several years. Why does it not surprise me these Senators are from Massachusetts and California? The forces of evil disguised as liberal socialists are becoming ever more and more brazen and forceful in their push to subjugate all of humanity, no doubt. This bill needs to be squashed on principal and I hope Senator McConnell does not try to tie this bill in with passing the uni party’s “immigration reform”.

Random Musings on Current Events 2.9.2024

My prayers went out to Senator Mike Lee as he is the canary in the coal mine, so to speak, calling for a change of leadership in the Senate. The so called immigration bill is yet another push to expand government, enrich the Washington elites and Senators McConnell and Schumer are right in the middle of it. The elites must really be running scared of Donald Trump to have to shovel another $60 billion, or whatever was in the bill, to Ukraine so that they can refill their coffers in order to take Trump on. Of course Senator McConnell, the political beast that he is, could see the winds turning against him and publicly said the bill would not pass before the February recess. Something tells me the bill will be back in some other form. Now, the political creatures will meet in secret yet again during their recess and come back with some other scheme to fund their moves, no doubt.

The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) released evidence of payments directly from Iran to Hamas on the same day that Iran announces construction on another nuclear reactor. Geez, hmmm, is someone or are some people trying to drag the west into a war with Iran? Say it isn’t so. Also, why is this any of this half a world away from me any my business? Why am I being asked to bail out or trust the intentions of the Zionist experiment known as modern Israel? I am still trying to figure that one out for reasons beyond the scope of this ramble.

The House of Representatives failed to impeach DHS Secretary Mayorkis and it really does not surprise me. There is way too much money being made off of illegal immigrants in the United States. The elites, agriculture, and business benefit from the inexpensive labor of these immigrants at the expense of those who are already here in the United States. I do find it interesting that Representatives McClintock, Buck and Gallagher from California, Colorado, and Wisconsin all voted against the impeachment. It really does not surprise me as each state that their districts are in are controlled by Democrats.

I have a question and that is if it takes $60 billion or thereabouts to fill the coffers of the international and domestic WEF elites it must really be an inefficient grift. I cannot help but think how much more efficiently that $60 billion could be used in a market based economy. Maybe that economy could even put some more people to work in the United States. Of course that will not work for the power brokers who want everyone beholden to their whims no matter how efficiently the capital is being used. It really is such a tired old world method of control. I cannot help but wonder if we are slipping into a neo-feudal based society.

Another item of note is watching the progression of long running shows in the UK. It seems that they have replaced the boss with a whining sniveling person with brown skin, eliminated strong men from the show and the women are the bosses. This while the women hide behind men or send men off running to do the physical dirty work. I suppose women really have always been in charge at some level but the wokeness of the writing is really quite obvious and disgusting.

Random Musings on Current Events 2.2.2024

It seems that Senator Schumer is going to pull a page out of Nancy Pelosi’s book and ram a bill addressing immigration down the throats of Congress without giving them time to read and absorb what is in the bill. Purportedly, it wants to create new authorities and even money for Ukraine and there are even rumors that Senator McConnell is in support of the bill. So, like Nancy Pelosi’s Affordable Health Care Act we are supposed to trust them and figure out what is in the bill after it passes. Again, I say bull shit! Slow the roll down and give us all time to read the bill because if you did not have something to hide you would allow us time to read. Furthermore, if you had not done all that you could to keep Donald Trump from being reelected, we would not have a group of criminals holding the reins of power in the Executive. For all I know they are passing a bill that legalizes and codifies Joe Biden’s immigration policy while at the same time throwing a bunch of pork out to McConnell’s, Schumer’s, and Biden’s cronies.

Speaking of Texas and Governor Abbot. Something smells rotten and it is not just the sewage and trash at the Mexican border that I am speaking of. We have a Governor who is shipping migrants into the heartland of the country instead of keeping them out while at the same time putting on a show in Eagle Pass with Texas National Guard putting up barbed wire. This while within minutes of Eagle Pass gates are evidently wide open in the border fence in which anyone can drive through. Something does not add up.

It is telling that Europe seems to be freer than the United States with the farmer and trucker protests. One thing for certain is Europe is not beholden to the companies that mass produce genetically modified foods and to big tech. If one were to do something like that in the United States with the unholy alliance between government and its law enforcement and intelligence agencies with big tech the protesters would probably be geo-fenced and arrested. Then they would be thrown in front of a kangaroo court orchestrated by a Hollywood producer and thrown into a D.C. jail without constitutional protections.

Why does Lloyd Austin still have a job?

I read recently that the Hawaii Electric Company (HECO) has had rolling blackouts on the Hawaiian main island of Oahu. This because solar and wind were not provided enough peak power after a coal fired plant was shut down in the last year.

So, three American service members have been killed in Jordan and God rest their souls. The questions I have are why were they there in the first place and why is there an immediate siren call from the neoconservatives calling for the escalation of hostilities towards Iran? Sometimes it seems that there are elements in the west and the Middle East, for that matter, who are hell bent, no pun intended, on endless if not nuclear war.

Why do computers have to keep invading every aspect of my life? Do they really make my life more convenient? Am I really saving any more time or am I really any more productive? Sure, I would not be able to type this blog up to have it read by spam bots, no doubt, and the random passerby in cyber land but would it really be that great of a loss to humanity as a whole? Personally, I think not. Why is there a mad rush to replace equipment with computer driven equipment when the original equipment has run great for decades and continues to run great? Perhaps I should refurbish an old typewriter, find and refurbish an old printing press, and try to sell print copy. Of course, I would additionally have to protect myself from the ire of the environmentalists who will accuse me of contributing to deforestation because it takes trees to make paper, the teams of big tech salesmen who will attack my method of information dissemination as antediluvian, who knows I may even get accused of being a troglodyte.

Speaking of troglodytes and those who do not want to move into the so called and purported to be modern times it seems the Red Sea is still being shut down by a semi nomadic people with no sea power to speak of. A tribe of people, no doubt, being used as a proxy by a more technologically advanced nation or nation’s relatively inexpensive weaponry has effectively shut down the once vaunted British and US Navies. Good on them I say because the British and US Navies are now reaping what has been sown in the societies and by extension into the services that purportedly serve these societies.
