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 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.

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.

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.

I just read an article by Sasha Latypova in which she describes the four steps to propagate a scam to further a fascist takeover of a society (not her words but more mine). Loosely, she said the following:

Step1 – Poison a few people in a few geographic location with a drug (chemical or bio toxin) that causes highly morbid central nervous system effects;

Step 2 – Pretend it was a bug;

Step 3 use the internet to spread fake information that the bug is a highly lethal agent and its symptoms are anxiety, sleeplessness and worry and;

Step 4 – All the hypochondriacs run to their doctors and flood the ERs at which point they can be encouraged to take the fake PCR-remdesivir-ventilator protocol and call it Covid.

Alex Soros tweeted out a re post from the Atlantic that features a bullet hole and a sum of $47. I certainly hope the Secret Service, charged with protecting all Presidents and former Presidents, is investigating this tweet and the original authors of this photo. Once again this is not a deescalatory move on the part of the left but rather an escalatory move. One would almost think that they are trying to start a civil war in the worst case scenario or social unrest in the best case scenario. My hope is that cooler, more grown up, heads will prevail.

So, now that the replacement workforce and silent army of purportedly more than 6 million illegal immigrants has been allowed into the country since the Biden regime took the reins of power in the D.C. Kamala Harris is calling for amnesty. Geez, it must be nice to be chauffeured around the third world cities of D.C., Oakland and San Francisco with personal protective details. Kind of similar to Chicago, New York, and Baltimore where the people she works for used to live. I suppose Kamala will be getting a place on Martha’s Vineyard, The Hamptons, or probably Napa Valley after she is no longer in the public spotlight.

A US District Judge, Lewis Kaplan, has postponed a defamation trial against Donald Trump until Tuesday due to a juror’s coronavirus illness. Ummm, what? Tuesday is the New Hampshire primary. It sure looks like Covid is still being used to keep Donald Trump from the oval office at any cost. One only can wonder what other nefarious crisis is being hatched to suppress freedom and commit mass murder? There really are some people who will do anything to subvert our most precious institution of democracy, voting, to keep him from filling the office. One can only imagine the level and breadth of the corruption in D.C. and the other institutions of power.

This past week I made my annual purchase of a weekly calendar to track appointments, miles driven etc. for my business. I was shocked to see the calendar cost of about $34 up from $31 last year and up from about $21 8 years ago. Doing the math that is nearly a 10% increase from last year and a 62% increase over 8 years. That is a 7.75% average annual increase over 8 years. Taking last year’s increase out of the equation it amounts to a 6.8% over 7 years. Yet another sign that inflation is continuing to rise and well above what the government reported inflation rate.

God bless the US Navy SEALS who went missing in the Red Sea while Lloyd Austin was in the hospital unbeknownst to any of his direct reports. Realistically did the Secretary need to have direct knowledge of the operation? Who knows and there is a chance that he did not but the appearance is further evidence of why I have lost confidence in the Secretary’s ability to lead.

It seems that I took longer than a week off to post some of my random thoughts and musings. I would like to say that I am returning refreshed and full of optimism for the new year but I would be fibbing. I will, however, say that I am returning with a more purposeful sense of being here for reasons which I will not divulge.

The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against Donald Trump being allowed on the Colorado Primary ballot. That is until the Supreme Court weighs in on this ruling. This is basically a set up for the Supreme Court. In my current state of mind I could really give a rat’s ass and I probably should give a rat’s ass but do I really? Now Republicans are saying, in a tit for tat sort of way that Biden should be removed from ballots. I honestly cannot disagree with the Republicans considering Joe Biden appears to be the worst kind of traitor one can be. He has no morals and will sell whoever or whatever to enrich himself, his family, and his supporters. Trouble is that this ruling is not a deescalatory move but rather an escalatory action.

I went to a Barnes and Noble bookstore for the first time in quite a while before Christmas and as expected it was quite busy. I noticed that Barnes and Noble is discontinuing their vinyl record album section and have remodeled that part of the store to put more bookshelves in. I can remember enjoying going into bookstores but no longer feel the joy or reason to buy anything. I suppose that perhaps I have become too red pilled to want to pay a red cent for anything. Nothing inspires me and I feel as if the commercial purveyors of “truth” will not provide any value in the reading they are selling. It is all vanilla with not one whiff of controversy or independent thought. Trouble is I do not want to go to Amazon either because if I do that my data will be sold and crunched to provide me a “better shopping experience” and Amazon is responsible for so much of the vanillazation (good luck finding that word in any dictionaries) of our shopping experiences. Some AI generated algorithm will suggest what I should be reading based on a predictive model rather than letting me browse and be inspired by a higher power as to what I could be reading. Perhaps that is the way it always has been considering some of my favorite book locations were mostly considered renegade of rebellious in nature, after all. Thank you, Jeff Bezos, for ruining what was once a comforting and enjoyable endeavour.

Speaking of Jeff Bezos and Amazon. I read that they are losing money on their streaming service and their answer is to lay off a bunch of people and sell commercials in the service that people are paying for. I have to ask why would I pay for a “premium” service with commercials? Insatiable greedy bastards who will never stop until they have finished reshaping all of society and the world. It reminds me of the Borg from Star Treks The Next Generation.

It appears the US and British Navy’s have lost control, either inadvertently or by design, of the Red Sea and effectively use of the Suez Canal since I last rambled. Big surprise there considering the only true statesmen on the world stage currently appears to be Vladimir Putin. Heavens knows there are no statesmen currently in the UK or the US. They appear be interested more in fomenting wars both internally and externally and really are truly evil people.

I went out to dinner for a few meals over the Holidays and inflation is real and it is certainly more than the “official” rate of inflation. In less than six months prices have gone up more than 30% at most of the places that I ate at.

It appears the Republicans in the Senate are going to cave on immigration reform and provide work permits and green cards to those who are in the United States illegally. These folks are disgusting sell outs to the large corporations who profit from illegal immigration.

Lloyd Austin has prostate cancer and did not tell anyone of import that he was down for days if not weeks. As far as I am concerned, he became a non-entity when he ordered all military members to participate in an experiment involving the use of mRNA technology under the guise of COVID. Lloyd Austin is already dead to me.

So, Mark Zuckerberg has a palatial palace replete with a panic room probably larger than my house on the Hawaiian Island of Maui. If he had made his money only through his own determination and grit, I would not have a problem with this fact. Sure, I might feel a little bit of misguided jealousy but the market theoretically rewards those who bring the best products to market the most efficiently. However, Facebook (Meta) did not rise on its own and is doing the bidding of elements within the US, Israeli and who knows what other governments. Additionally, I believe that I heard Facebook received venture capital from the CIA and I have to assume that it came with strings and possibly “help” in becoming the data vacuum of the world that it is. That does not sit well with me because Fascist regimes are well known for picking winners and losers in the world of business.

I heard today that Harry Windsor was awarded a significant settlement in a suit against a British media company. The reason for the suit is that the company illegally intercepted Harry’s emails among other things. I usually do not give a rip about him or any other royal but in this case, I am happy to see and congratulate him on his victory. One cannot wonder if there was a government agency behind the intercepts. Who, what, where, and how did this media company have the technical abilities to do what they did? How much collusion, if any, was there between MI-5 or elements within MI-5 and this media company. Perhaps I am cynical after revelations of US government collusion between the FBI and who knows what other three letter agencies with US Big Tech and US media.

I loved listening to an analysis this week regarding the Chinese dictator and his visit to the United States this past month. This gentleman that I am speaking of assesses that XI had to come over to the United States because his power is weakening in China or else, he would have insisted his puppets meet him in China. He had to show that he could visit the Peoples Republic of California, be secure, and appear to be in charge. Whether or not he was in charge I do not know but, to be honest, it does make sense. I know there are problems in Han China and I must wonder just how much paper over the tiger is being used to cover up what is really happening?

The Winter Solstice is rapidly approaching here in the Northern Hemisphere where I am now sitting and typing. The coldest time of the year when sunlight is at a premium and of course we are approaching the Christmas season as we are now halfway through the Advent season. It is supposed to be a time for family and friends gathering but having had that growing up now it is time of remembering those who are no longer with me. God bless them all.

So, it appears there are those in Britain who want to send illegal Rwandan immigrants to Liberia. Not even debating the merits and human rights issues is anyone else taken aback how out of place this seems to be? We have the continuing graft and corruption operation underway in Ukraine still, the Israeli purging of Hamas, and now this. It just seems so out of place.

So the shipping giant Maersk has paused its ships from entering the Red Sea through the Bab al-Mandab straight. This due to the near miss recently from the followers of Islam who are upset with the Israeli Gaza War. I wonder what this is going to do to inflation rates. Of course I do not blame Maersk as it appears the US Navy is failing to keep the sea lanes open. It is an ominous sign with no signs of improving with the US Military more concerned about training ESG and testing experimental inject able technologies on its members. Admirals and Generals are not the backbone of militaries and this seems to be a fact that has been forgotten or ignored.

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

Senator Tuberville continues his hold out against the blanket confirmation of the President’s rubber stamp of military promotions in the General and Flag Officer ranks. However, some of his so called fellow Republican Senators are considering Senator Shumer’s with a resolution to the Senate Rules Committee to essentially do an end around Senator Tuberville’s insistence that he cannot approve some of the promotions because the promotions would violate the Hyde Amendment because of the proposed military promotions are for people who support abortion. Of course, the Republicans who are willing to vote for this rules change include Senators Graham, Romney, Ernst and a couple of others, so far, that I am not familiar with. Big surprise there and what surprises me is that Senator McConnell is not on the list at least publicly but I am sure he is privately. In the amount of time, they have spent waiting for this to play out I have wonder how many of these promotions they could have individually approved or rejected? That would have just taken too much work I suppose and furthermore would have required the Senatorial staffs and Senators to take public stands on this issue, specifically, and they cannot have that with elections looming on the horizon.

It really is too bad that the funding of the Vice President was not cut as proposed by several in the House of Representatives. She really is a failure at doing her job and really should be fired. Maybe she will donate some of her salary to Secretary Buttigieg. Not likely!

Stop the presses! The Screen Actors Guild strike looks like it is over! Oh, my goodness! Time for more fresh fecal matter to be put out by Hollywood. I would imagine there is some serious constipation ready for release.

The Associated Press has cut ties with Hassan Eslaiah the free-lance photographer who was embedded with Hamas during the October 7 attack on Israel. Of course, not before photographs that he took to include a selfie with Yahya Sinwar the Hamas mastermind of the attack. I wonder how many clicks and increased revenue the AP and other news outlets received publishing Eslaiah’s photographs?

Has anyone noticed how quiet and controlled the press releases from the Israeli side of the Gazan invasion are? The Israeli’s are true masters at controlling narratives and the press. So much so that there is still no mention of why Hamas was able to penetrate Israeli defenses on October 7. I am still not convinces that Israeli Intelligence, at some lever, did not know in advance the attacks were going to occur especially when freelance photographers etc. were embedded with Hamas. The best kept secrets are secrets never told and once told they are no longer secrets. Why was there an apparent stand down at the Gazan border that allowed this attack to be so successful? It just makes me wonder.

Houthis have purportedly shot down a US Drone in or around Yemen. Geez President Biden did you do that? Did your policies of delisting the Houthis and allowing Iran, who has declared the United States and enemy, embolden if not fund the Houthis?

Pro Palestinians have defaced Britain’s Cenotaph war memorial the same week as Armistice Day. When will the west wake up to the fact that Islam is not a peace loving religion? When will Christians and others realize that Islam that demands total subservience not only religiously but politically? Islam is a religion or movement that not only subscribes how to live life but how to govern peoples. It is an insidious movement that will do whatever it takes to infiltrate and overthrow existing governing structures and install its own according to the Quran if it cannot outright invade. Just read about what happened to Constantinople in its later years and how its decay led to inviting Muslim to do menial work for the corrupt, lazy, and incompetent elites of its crumbling empire. So many parallels it makes me wonder if there is any hope for the western liberal Christian based ideal.

Finally, I will take a pause this weekend and attend an annual Veteran’s Day parade in honor of all those who have served. It usually is a solitary event for me since none in my family or immediate circle of friends usually wants to attend and quite frankly it is OK with me since none of them are veterans and they really do not understand. They do not understand that it is not just a parade for me and that I really am not alone. I am not alone in my memories of all those over the decades that I served with who have come and gone in my life. Some I liked some I did not. Some liked me and some did not like me but we all took oaths and “did our time”. I am not sure of the motivations that led others to serve our country and my motivations changed over time, quite honestly. The one thing that we all did, however, was to serve our country whether we agreed to it or not in the case of many who were drafted in Vietnam through World War II, though the numbers of those who were drafted are diminishing. The one thing we all had to learn was to be part of a team at minimum a basic level just to make it through boot camp or whatever path to a commissioning that we took. To all the Veterans out there I want to say, “thank you for your service”.

I have committed to posting something to this blog at least one time per week and lately I have been slacking a bit doing this. So, therefore, I am typing despite not really having paid much attention to anything in the news this week. Regardless, here I go.

The United States has a new Speaker of the House and it appears that he is on the side of the Neocons in his support for Israel and going to war in the Middle East. God help humanity because the puppet masters pulling strings seem to want this war so that they can maintain their power in the world and in the process kill a whole bunch of people. These people do not support life but rather are purveyors of death.

Speaking of the new Speaker, I read that he is going to allow a border and immigration bill of sorts to pass through the House. Of course, it is already being written that the Republicans in the Senate, the ringleader being Sen. McConnell, will not allow it to pass as written. This because he and others are beholden to those who are making money off the out of control border immigration issue. Is there any wonder why even the RINO Republicans are against the border wall and controlling the border. They and those who they represent are making too much money and maintaining their power with an open border. All I can do is yawn when I read these stories. The media will make a big deal out of it and nothing substantive will change except that the politicians will tout their positions this upcoming election cycle. OK before I fall asleep, I need to move onto another topic.

Out west in the United States the mainstream media is touting an El Nino year and because of its blah blah blah. Personally, I think the winter will be a little warmer than last winter because the effects of the Hua Tonga Volcano eruption will not be as pronounced in the earth’s upper atmosphere as we are now deeper into the second year after the eruption. I believe much of the light reflecting particulate has settled back into the lower atmosphere, however, there is still some residual to reflect light. This will still impact weather patterns but not as severely. It will be interesting to see how this effects the weather patterns and only time will tell, not a media report quoting the so called experts.

I read today that JP Morgan, Citibank and others are taking huge losses to the tune of 10’s of billions of dollars due to their exposures to US Treasuries. Personally, I can hardly even comprehend the quantities being bandied about and want to use scientific notation to write these figures out to aid in the ease and simplicity of writing them. Nine zeroes after the figures and the banks get to just write them off as if nothing happened as people behind closed doors in the city of Washington, New York, and San Francisco argue among themselves trying to figure out how to maintain confidence in the system.

I must ask myself why do I even worry about paying my credit cards and debt? They certainly do not because it is not the money, they are concerned about but rather it is how to maintain their lifestyles at the expense of the vast majority of the people in the country. I still wonder what would happen if the country as a whole decided not to support their lavish lifestyles in New York City, The Hamptons, San Francisco, Marin County, Washington D.C. etc.? Would there be chaos? Sure, there would be but would it be worse for the men and women who have never had to do hard work in their lives or those who already know how to wash dishes, swing a hammer, turn a wrench, farm and or hunt for the food they eat?

Speaking of the food that we eat I went to the grocery store the other day and yet another item that had not had its price raised much in the last year suddenly had nearly a 25% increase in its price. The pundits, government officials and so called experts can talk all they want but inflation is real, it is here and it is much higher than the official CPI. All this so the elites can maintain and illusion of stability so they can maintain their lifestyles on the backs of most Americans.

Sure, it makes it less expensive to pay the debt but at what cost? The inflation eats away at savings in dollars and one must devote more of his time laboring to maintain their same lifestyle. What irritates me to no end is the beneficiaries of this inflation have no clue or care one wit what it does to those who labor to maintain the elite’s lifestyles. This can only go on for so long before the system can no longer maintain itself because the dollar is no longer tied to the real economy, the economy of labor for bread, shelter, and transportation. Of course, I would imagine the socially inept geeks who made their fortunes on computers will try and make robots to do this work because we all know they do not like nor want to be with or compete with real human beings. Human beings are too unpredictable, dirty, and free thinking to their tastes unlike computers that are cold, logical and controllable.
