Another Leftist Looney with a gun has provided a distraction from the usual humdrum news of war, rising prices, energy shortages and various cries of doom, the volume of which has been steadily increasing lately.

I, for one, appreciate the break. I mean, I can listen to failed negotiation stories and look at bombed-out cities for just so long, you know?

Personally I think these events involving crazy people with guns trying to plug Pres. Trump are being promoted by the media, with all the hate crap they spout, and I have a lot of good company in that view, but hey, that’s Freedom of the Press, right? As long as it keeps being presented as Merely Opinion and Not Fact, people can say pretty much anything and get away with it.

It would be pretty amazing if there wasn’t a bounty, or many bounties, on Pres. Trump’s head by now. I bet the NSA is constantly investigating this possibility. Not the FBI though, considering the weird stuff they’ve been doing, if all those stories or even 10% of them are true. But that’s another post.

Just that, how hard would it be to convince some young, rabid Leftist loony that he or she would be paid a huge sum to off the President? This doesn’t have to be a valid offer, just a convincing one, a realistically presented one. See, this is the problem created by the hate propaganda that the Leftist media and it’s barkers, like James Carville, who vocally wished Trump dead after this latest little uproar. There should be penalties for this stuff because it creates exactly the kind of emotional climate for goading unhinged political zealots into action.

It’s still strange to me, you think I would have gotten over it by now but my memory of a much more emotionally stable population that would have been absolutely shocked and outraged by the outpouring of hateful garbage by the media and the famous is still too strong. This is a change in our society that’s been evolving over a very long time, I know, I’ve watched it. But it’s not normal, or right, and I can’t accept it as such.

This feels like the final battle against an evil force that’s out to destroy the meaning of civility in the world. Maybe too dramatic. We’ll see.

Don’t you wonder why it took the USA from Dec. 7, 1941 to go from a small and very slow research project into the feasibility of building an atomic bomb into an all-out scramble to build one, which was done when they successfully tested the first one on July 16, 1945, a period of about 3 years and 7 months if you don’t count the formation of the Advisory Committee on Uranium in October 1939.

It wasn’t until January 19, 1942 that President Roosevelt formally authorized the atomic bomb development project, so 43 days after Pearl Harbor was attacked, atomic bomb research became a real and serious thing and the Manhattan Project was begun, spread out among different sites.

Three and one half years later, the United States was in possession of at least one atomic bomb. By August 9, 1945, 24 days after the test, it was known to the world that the US had developed and used two more.

3.5 years from basic conception to final delivery.

So here’s the question. How could it possibly have taken Iran 46 years to NOT succeed in building even one? Look how fast the Russians did it. Hell, look at Pakistan, it only took one scientist with enough knowledge to do it. Does this make sense to you that Iran never built atomic bombs?

Either it was all just a bluff and they were actually never really trying to at all, or they’ve been building and stockpiling them for many years. The Russians helped build their atomic power plants that provide the plutonium from uranium fission that makes the atomic bombs go boom. They had plenty of it.

I read all the explanations from Google, I kept asking it’s AI and questioning the answers, and Google spits out what’s become Dogma, all the excuses why Iran is “Only two weeks away” and stayed “only two weeks away” for decades. Sorry, no sale. We may never know the truth or some day a huge trove of Iranian A-Bombs may be found. Or not. But Iran not having The Bomb does not pass the smell test and never will.

Or is our government getting ready for The Big One? The world’s largest aircraft carrier, named after one of those worthless Bush presidents, was last reported to be in the Indian Ocean and headed in the direction of Iran, with 200 aircraft aboard and 15,000 personnel. Since that’s far too many for the ship’s complement, there’s probably about 12,000 Marines aboard.

Two other US aircraft carriers are already on the scene with their bombers and attack aircraft, along with a bunch of cruisers and destroyers and if reports are accurate, tens of thousands of US troops in case of ground invasion are there as well.

Meanwhile the construction of the “White House Ballroom” continues in the place where the East Wing used to be and it includes the removal of a virtual mountain of dirt steadily hauled away in dump trucks, as I reported earlier, while a hole to match is nowhere to be seen and it was leaked, and verified by Pres. Trump, that some sort of underground project is ongoing. I think it’s a very long tunnel, merely my opinion, to a place of safety or further evacuation, but whatever, it’s really odd.

An underground Capitol Building, apartments for the politicians, etc. that could be easily defended from a violent mob would be pretty useful too, if all the evidence pointing toward a near-future major food shortage is as valid as it looks. Remember that so-called “attack” on the government that got all those Trump supporters stuffed into prisons? What if that was really a test of the government’s ability to handle a real attack? I mean, the whole thing was very surreal at the time and the crowd was full of Alphabet Agents pretending to be with them, right from the start. It was a Big Fake planned and executed by our government. The Chinese aren’t the only ones who plan years ahead.

It’s very interesting to me that The Trump Regime SAYS it isn’t interested in regime change in Iran. Iran’s constitution is specific in that the US and Israel must be destroyed and Iran must conquer the world and anything that works is good, so if this terrorist state problem is to end, regime change is absolutely necessary and in my view, anything that works to do this is good, too. This means a lot of destruction in Iran. and explains why the US is working so hard to get them to change. It’s not just the leaders that have to go, it’s their form of government as well.

A lot of people are against major demolition in Iran, including Turkey, aka Erdogan, who’s becoming a bigger problem to the US as time passes, with his inflated ego and obstructionism, and I kinda think old age may catch up with him sooner than he expects, courtesy of the CIA or Mossad. The Israelis certainly would not lament his passing.

Our current administration is pushing for more and faster executions of criminals, and bringing back firing squads, the electric chair and the gas chamber, as well as more and faster means of poisonous injections, and now that Pam Bondi has been firde, the new female head of the DOJ is going full steam ahead. The bodies are already piling up. Great, kill them all and let God sort them out. I nominate wood chippers as a primary execution method and that all those Tren De Oogly tattooed drug cartel gang vampires on death rows be promptly fed into them, feet first. They should be so happy I’m not in charge of their demise.

Golly gee, I wonder if all these things might be clues that we’re heading deeper into being a police state? Trumps pics of himself as the Christian God, or the right hand man of same, do raise an eyebrow. Liberalism actually does very poorly under Christian rule, let us never forget that the American Civil War was started by slave owning Christians who hung negroes from crosses they then set afire, and called themselves Democrats and Grand Dragons and other Ku Klux Klan names.

As Dr. Timothy Leary said in his book, “Psychedelic Prayers”, “See how each part fits the whole.”

Ah well. Enough cheerful thoughts and random musings. It’s really late, beddy-bye time.

The Secretary of the Navy has just been fired and a new Secretary has been appointed as his temporary replacement until he or another is confirmed in the position. The new Secretary is Hung Cao

and I wonder how long it will be before some clown makes a joke about that. Not me, of course, I would never.

It’s been well over a year now, I was sitting right here in my computer chair typing away on an email when I felt something in my beard, on the left side of my face near my ear, and rubbed at it. It was a spider, it bit me, and the whole side of my face swelled up so badly I nearly chose to drive to the hospital emergency room.

But I waited it out for a few hours and the swelling started to subside, so that was that, but I always wondered where that damned spider came from. Until now. Here I am, sitting in the same chair doing pretty much the same thing and at the top of my peripheral vision something is moving downward.

Leaning back, I see it’s a SPIDER, on a thread, aiming for my head. I clapped it between my hands and killed it, and on inspection, it’s one ugly, long-legged nasty looking little bug, and apparently it sensed that I might make a meal for it and this is the tactic it uses to attack it’s prey and suck some juices from. This would work if I were a dog or hamster or well-fed politician. Not so well with me, though.

But the tricks of bugs… Waaaay back when I was a teenager, some cockroaches invaded the family home, we suspected they came in with a cardboard box from the grocery, and of course we quickly eradicated them. But not before they announced their presence by crawling across the ceiling to a point over our dinner plates and dropping square into them. Agh! The horror. Akk! The disgust. You don’t forget a thing like that.

Way back in 1984 I spent $6000 on a high end, high powered “exotic” stereo system, comprised of two tower speakers, pre-amp, amplifier and tuner, and have enjoyed it immensely all these years. Over the years I blew out the woofers and one midrange. The woofers only needed cone replacements but the midrange was toast and a long search ensued for as close to exact a replacement I could find. All this was done about 18 years ago and of course I continued to use the sound system.

Now it’s all 42 years old and those very expensive speakers are sounding kinda tired, so I purchased a high-end pair of Klipsch speakers, which arrived two days ago.

But a little while ago the power amplifier lost one channel and after trying all the fixes on Facebook and a few of my own to no avail, I started looking on ebay, and found and bought one today that’s guaranteed to be fully functional. We will see, upon it’s arrival. It’s the same model as my semi-failed amp, and also considered “Exotic” along with the other system units.

Anyway, today I hooked up the CD player to the pre-amp, the pre-amp to the one good channel left on the amp and that to one of the new speakers and Oh-My-God, was I ever right about the old speakers sounding tired. The sound is CRISP again, I can hear the tiny notes, the sharp cutoff as each one was originally played, the bass is clear again instead of the deep rumble it had become, the high notes are sharp as knives again. I love it. I absolutely love it. How much more amazing it’s going to be when the replacement amp is here and the second speaker joins in the harmony.

My only friendship here has ended, as I previously posted, but the music is renewed. This isn’t seen as a trade-off, just changes. Things always change and we have to know how to roll with them. I actually feel ebullient. Gad, how long has that been?

There’s much to be said for staying within your own purview and that which you can control, especially in old age. Life is difficult enough when we’re young.

Over 30% of the manufactured fertilizer chemicals, produced from oil, passes through the Hormuz Strait each year and it’s these artificial fertilizers that have made it possible for the human population of Earth to increase to 8 billion people. Most farming areas on our globe were depleted of most of their nutrients long ago and without the yearly addition of fresh nutrient, would be unable to produce crops sufficient to feed everyone.

Right now it’s Spring in the Western Hemisphere. It’s planting season and the fields need to be fertilized, plowed and planted. Right now is also when the availability of fertilizers is being blocked. Just saying…

Doctors are becoming more and more alarmed as they see infant mortality increasing among those whose mothers took the Covid injections. These children are dying from diseases and problems they never should have had and are showing the same spike proteins in their blood that their mothers have, even though they never got the shots. Just saying…

NATO seems to be disintegrating. If it does, then when a NATO member, or I should say former NATO member gets attacked by, say, China or Russia, no one will come to their aid. In other words, if NATO goes, the primary impediment to making war on a smaller nation no longer exists, so why not do it? Just saying…

Africa reached it’s maximum sustainable population many decades ago. Anyone remember Kwashiorkor babies? That’s when infants turn into skeletons with bloated stomachs because the people don’t stop making babies even though there’s already too many of them for the available food supply. So there was this massive famine in Ethiopia, over a million people died of starvation, mostly women and children because of a drought that severely limited harvests. That was just Ethiopia and a lack of rain. Now let’s think about just this one year, 2026 and the fall harvest ahead, and a global lack of soil nutrients. What if there’s a drought, too? A global drought? Just saying…

Google says: “Early 2026 reports already indicate significant droughts in the US Southeast, parts of South America, and East Africa.” I don’t know about “parts of South America” but East Africa is the most populous part of the continent, so it looks like Ethiopia may be in for it again. The US Southeast is a massive food producer that includes 60% of the total U.S. agricultural export volume. The USA is still the breadbasket of the world. Just saying…

Of course, all of this is no doubt completely coincidental…

This was the punch line for a cartoon in Playboy Magazine that appeared sometime in the 1960’s, by Gahan Wilson. The cartoon was of a little naked man inside what looked like a cardboard box that was laying on it’s side with him in the open side looking out, and scowling.

There was a lot of truth to that cartoon then and nothing has changed in the 60 or so years since I saw it. What brings me to think of this now is that the very last friend I had is now gone, not by dying, just by abandonment.

I’ve been watching the changes in attitude toward me as the effects of my aging become more prominent. My hearing is degrading along with my eyesight and physical strength and the wrinkles are steadily increasing. The only thing that isn’t slowly failing me is my brain. The rest is going where aging takes it. I’m not a different person, I’m still the same guy, I just don’t look like it the way I used to, I have to wear a hearing aid in public now if I want to hear what a waitress or clerk is saying and I need reading glasses to read menus, receipts and so forth.

My friend, though 34 years younger than me, is aging faster than I am, probably from getting a couple of those Covid poison injections, so maybe it’s just fear of aging that I’m too much of a reminder of. In any case, the more I’ve aged, the less interest or respect for my friendship has been shown me and it’s plainly gone beyond repair.

I think the only real lesson to take from this is that we should be grateful for the good times. Like everything else in life, they don’t last. If we hang on to that which is no longer there, we keep ourselves from moving on to new good times. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is my Philosophy Hint For Today.

Another black guy running amok with a gun. Shamar Elkins just blew away 7, yes that’s SEVEN of His Own kids along with another black child belonging to someone else but with all those kids he no doubt mistook the last one for one of his own. Not that it matters. No one with a brain has any business fathering that many polluting eaters but I have to applaud his actions, as he sure recognized his error and made to correct it.

DeVaughn, I mean Trayvon, no, wait…, Shamar Elkins, sorry, those names they give their kids always kinda run together… anyway, Shamar got whacked by the cops after losing a car chase with him being the chasee. Good ending really, I mean, if he’d lived, who knew how many more of those critters he would have bred? He relieved the welfare rolls of 8 non-contributing eaters and future drug dealers, drive-by shooters and rapists and then got offed, you can’t ask for a better ending.

Donald J. Trump, The New Jesus. He Walks Among Us. Ooowow. Yes, these are the AI pictures he actually posted on his Truth Social site.

He’s really pissing off a lot of the Very Religious right now, portraying himself as being The Second Coming’s Big Buddy or something. He’s been spouting a lot of stuff about God lately, but if he’s a follower of Jesus’s teachings, I’m the King of England.
