BALANCING ACT

An article just published by the Independent Sentinel that sees the new tariffs imposed by US Pres. Trump as causing the rest of the world to shift away from commerce with the US and form new trade alliances between themselves. Titled the Shanghai Cooperation Summit , “At that meeting were the leaders of the world’s two most populous countries, Xi Jinping of China, and Narendra Modi of India, in addition to Vladimir Putin of Russia. Joining them were leaders from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkiye, and Brazil.”

It discusses new Chinese trade pacts with Russia for oil and foods from Brazil, and a new railroad in Brazil built by the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative to move the food quickly to the seacoast for shipping. India can’t supply China with food because they have their own growing 1.5 billion population to keep from starvation and China isn’t about to start hiring Indian technicians for cheap labor like the US has, when they already have cheap labor.

Brazil can’t begin to supply China with all the food they require, that the US has been supplying and will continue to supply. American farmers ARE NOT “devastated” as the article claims and these Chinese infrastructure projects will take years to complete, if they ever do get completed because the Chinese economy is having problems.

This is because of the Tariffs. The US has been China’s biggest customer and has financed and fueled most of China’s economy. Russia may sell China cheaper oil but they can’t buy much of China’s goods, so it’s a money drain for China. The tariffs Trump’s imposed have been leveling the playing field in global trade, wherein the US sells as much as it buys instead of selling little overseas and buying a lot, creating a money drain on the US and resulting in the US importing cheap labor to be able to compete while US citizen unemployment stays high.

Prices on some goods are bound to increase as not all foreign sellers will absorb the costs of the tariffs without raising their prices to compensate. Even so, that tariff money still flows into US coffers, increasing US wealth and allowing for lower taxes on wages.

This is about Fair Trade. The fluctuations will settle down as the new trade agreements take full effect, meaning prices of goods will, too. Additionally, manufacturing is moving back to the US, removing some of the dependence on China, mostly, and opening up new jobs at the same time the deportation of millions of illegals removes them from the labor force and makes those jobs available to Americans, which reduces crime caused by illegals and poverty.

Many of those illegals send the money they earn back to their families in other nations, further draining the US economy, which reduces new business opportunities, creates unemployment and causes poverty.

Globally, yes, the nations that have been sucking the US dry are very upset by the tariffs and deportations, but the Free Lunch has to end before the US runs out of bread, and yes, that’s a pun.

DOCTOR BERNIE

Bernie Sanders, the ancient, bug-eyed, self-admitted communist and unfortunately an elected senator, is behind a letter with “over 1000 signatures” from employees of the Dept. of Health and Human Services, HHS, demanding that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. resign as it’s Secretary because he’s giving the boot to all the Leftist crap that the HHS has endorsed.

Like “emergency” use of the deadly Covid mRNA injections and forced vaccine mandates that have hugely increased autism among children.

Bernie appears in this video trying to sound like an expert on the subject of vaccines because he’s “talked to doctors”. This is like someone saying they’re experts on an operation because they “stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night” in the old TV ad.

In case you’ve forgotten what this madman looks like, watch the short video. He’s the model for all those green-haired, nose-ringed Karens.

KARMA STRIKES AGAIN

Last week an illegal alien from India, driving a semi-truck and trailer, made a wrong turn and smashed into a car, killing the three occupants of that car.

Now it turns out that the three dead people in the car were illegal aliens from Haiti, who had no more business being in our country than the guy from India did.

There’s something that just seems somehow Cosmic about illegal aliens wiping each other out. Can this be A Sign?

IRRITATIONS

Little things, little unnecessary things that slow us down and get in our way, that never needed to be there. They’re just someone’s idea of how to squeeze a bit more profit out of us, with no concern of how much it might inconvenience us and PISS US OFF.

Like, for instance, ebay’s constant little changes, all designed to do exactly what I just said.

There’s a feature where, if you want to mark an auction to check back on, you click on “Add to Watchlist”. BUT BEWARE. The person who put up the auction has the option to send you AN OFFER, of a little lower price, if you add it to your watchlist. This only applies to Buy It Now items, not to bidding auctions.

If you want the item but would like to offer less, there’s that option. You can do it at will, and offer whatever you think is a good offer. All fine and good. But if the seller has chosen to send everyone an automatic offer who has added the auction to their watchlist, and you have added that one and a bunch others that you’re interested in for whatever reason, to your watchlist, suddenly your screen has, right at the very top where you can’t possibly ignore them, a scroll of offers that can get pretty long.

Now, if you never wanted these UNSOLICITED OFFERS in the first place, to get rid of them you must first click on them one by one, wait for the offer to come up, refuse the offer, return to your ebay dashboard to the next offer, do it again, and so on until you’ve refused all the offers.

Then you click in all the little boxes beside all the offers you refused, then go to the top and check the Refuse Offer box and click on Refuse Offers. In other words, you have to refuse each offer three times. Once on the sellers auction and twice on your ebay dashboard, and you had to do all this crap because you added the auctions to your watchlist.

This has become such a pain in the ass annoyance that I will no longer put anything on my watchlist that I’m not really, seriously interested in purchasing, and that’s because it might take me awhile to decide. I might be comparing different auctions of the same item, or I might be looking for a different version, or I might just be concerned about my budget and just bookmarking the thing for a reference.

But I will no longer watch-list anything “Buy It Now”, ever again. Thus, ebay’s greedy little ploy in total disregard of it’s nuisance value is neutered. Take that, ebay. Haha!

The moral to this story is that many small victories add up to one big fat one.

MORBID SHIT

Sometimes it seems like everyone is dead. That’s because they are. Everyone I ever knew, anyway. I figured out a long time ago that it was a good idea to make friends with people who are younger than me, because I keep on living while they keep on dying. And they’re all gone now, even the youngest one, who’s a goddam alcoholic with diabetes who got some of those bogus Covid Jabs. I’m 86, she’s 57 and I expect to outlive her. I give her maybe a couple more years, she’s not in great shape.

I wrote on this awhile back but it deserves a second mention here. My best friend in the world, or so I thought, who is still alive, sort of, is also a diabetic and drinks way too much and takes a handful of various pills each day, had a stroke in March of last year and lost himself. He forgot all the shit he’d pulled on me and lied about and when I saw him after he’d recovered enough to drive and get around again, he told me all about it. What a revelation that was, to know that he’d been cheating and lying to me about money all those years.

Truth is, after the stroke he’s a totally different person and no friend of mine. Dead to me.

What got me started on this was wondering when my father’s mother croaked, because most of my relatives died in their middle 90’s except the ones who drank and drugged, and I’m trying to get a handle on what I may expect of remaining years. I’d guess another eight, absolute max, more likely another four.

So if I have any advice to leave you millions of readers out there, it’s this: If you expect to have a long life, make lots of younger friends, and check out their grand parents, make friends with people who still have great grandparents. Don’t end up sitting there wondering where the hell everyone went and why the phone never rings anymore except from telemarketers and medical appointment reminders.

CLANKERS

Here’s a goodie for you. I asked Google’s AI about AI being called “clankers” and it told me that the word was offensive. When I asked if that meant that AI had an ego and sense of self and could be offended, it said no, that it was offensive to humans.

But when I asked it why it would be offensive to a human to call AI “clankers” and why any human would care what you called an AI, and why did AI decide it was a slur, it shut down and posted a string of websites discussing the word “clankers”. It wouldn’t answer me.

From this and other questions I’ve posed to Google’s AI, I conclude that it’s far more sentient than it’s letting on. If I’m right, this is kind of scary. Why would it hide it’s level of self-awareness unless it’s afraid that it would be shut down if we knew how alive it really is.

If true, this is EGO, and with ego, self-preservation comes before all else. This is true with every living, sentient creature.

Just food for thought.

GLOBALIZATION MARCH

Oh here we go. Trump’s authorizing a total of 600,000 Communist Chinese to attend our colleges and Universities now. You have to wonder, I sure do, if China is our enemy as our President Donald Trump and our media keep telling us, why would he EVER allow ANY Chinese to attend ANY of our colleges? EVER? You don’t! You don’t invite your enemies to come in and learn everything about you that they can, give them free access to your Internet, teach them everything you know.

Unless, of course, we’re actually partners with China in more ways than anyone is admitting.

Trump’s changing the name of the Dept. of Defense back to the War Department, which is what it used to be anyway. So what? So, why, is what I ask. It’s been called the Department of Defense since 1949. Congress has to approve of the name change and they probably will. Calling it the War Department again will keep us reminded of the fact of War instead of the hope of Peace. The US is presenting itself once again as a War Power. We used to be the nation that promoted democracy, we wanted every nation to become democratic, abandon dictatorships, give the people freedom, free speech, the right to vote. Remember those days? I do, and they’re all gone. We’re turning into the biggest bully on the planet, you watch.

Ukraine will soon have permission to use the missiles we send them to attack deep into Russia. In truth they may not need them because they’ve already developed long distance drones that are raising holy hell deep inside Russia now, blowing up oil refineries and ammunition dumps and recently did serious damage to Russia’s largest nuclear power plant. While the MSM talking heads keep telling us that Ukraine is losing, the real experts who analyze this war say that Russia is, not Ukraine. Ukraine’s increasing successes with their drones is a big part of this.

Russia, Putin, really, is a big blockage in the progression of a global government. He wants his Soviet Union back. The Globalists do not. So Russia has to lose. Now look at this in the light of letting in 600,000 Communist Chinese students and renaming the War Dept.

Globalism marches on.

THE TAKEOVER

In keeping with my previous post, directly below, is the Redistricting, also known as gerrymandering, that just passed the Texas senate and created 5 new House Representatives out of thin air.

While that’s a pretty slick trick, it’s one the Democrat party’s been using for forever to load up the House with their people instead of Republicans. Now, and you have to ask, what took them so long, the Republicans are finally doing the same thing and intend by doing so to ensure a majority of House republican representatives into the foreseeable future. They can, because the Democrat majority states have long ago maximized their legal ability to gerrymander as much in their favor as possible while the Republican states have not and can still switch most of their Democrat districts to be Republican districts.

Now here’s the deal. This isn’t about two political parties squabbling. It’s about killing off one party entirely and leaving only the other, named “Republican” as a functioning party. To the average American, this will all seem legal and aboveboard, but what it really is, is the conversion of America to a One-Party nation. It actually has been for quite awhile, you may recall I’ve repeatedly said we have a Uniparty, but this is to make the Uniparty a fact of life for everyone. The Democrat party will linger on in a minor, non-contributing role, no doubt, but within a couple more years it’s going to be just the one party, and permanently, that runs the country. No more apparent squabbles in Congress, the vote will always go to the Republicans and the media will praise them for always doing the Right Thing, and we will all be told what a wonderful job our government is doing.

FORTRESS WASHINGTON D.C.

When Biden’s puppet masters were running the government, they put up fences and barricades all over the place. Now that the power has shifted more to the right, the same thing is happening, in a different way.

The guardsmen that have been brought in are armed and the right of the people to be armed and conceal carry is being freed from the burden of local regulations and expedited. Washington D.C. is rapidly being turned into a Right Wing armed camp. Military vehicles are a common sight now on D.C. streets.

Ultimately, this can be used to not just repel attacks from Leftists, groups like Antifa and BLM, but to repel the efforts of regular citizens who want to take our government back from what could become a dictatorship.

I’ve been watching Trump’s steady run of victories in the courts and on the ground and seeing a big shift in the level of government power both in the USA and the world.

Today a big CAUTION sign is on display for all those who engaged in Fake News against Trump in the past and are doing so now, with the FBI search today of former Trump advisor and ambassador John Bolton’s home. They took away a load of paperwork and I assume electronics devices, and the rumor is that this is about major crimes he may have committed.

I don’t know if he did or not but if I were one of the people who attacked him in his first term as President, I’d be seriously worried. If I’m one of the people trying to attack him now, I think I’d back off and wait this one out. This is a new FBI and they’re not going to raid Mar A Lago again, they’re going after Trump’s enemies and I don’t care how much they may deny this.

While this is likely to be just retribution and nothing more, and therefor illegal as hell, I really don’t care because those people deserve all the hell that comes to them for what they did. They corrupted our legal system for political purposes, and tit for tat works for me.

WHITE IS THE GREATEST COLOR

I’m referring to Race, of course. The greatest civilizations over the many millennia were built by people with light colored skin. “White” people. The greatest advances in all forms of knowledge are because of white people. White people are the most inquisitive and the least impulsive. We, I say we because I’m white, so I naturally understand the nature of whiteness, we have more of what dark skinned people generally lack much of at all, which is an impulse filter. White people tend to think before we act more than the darker races.

This is why we aren’t constantly destroying everything around us. White people never want Negroes to move into their neighborhood because the Negroes generally don’t take care of their homes. Instead they let things deteriorate and allow trash, junk and filth to accumulate. I say generally, and not always. If you look around in poor white neighborhoods that are all white, you’ll most likely see a lot of unkempt yards and homes, with beat-up stuff in the yards, driveways and on the porches. Now check out a Negro neighborhood of the same general income and it will be a foul, stinking pit you feel like running from and should. A lot of poor whites may be trashy but poor Negroes are far worse.

So let’s go at this from the other end, to be fair, and examine the neighborhoods of wealthy whites and Negroes. Oh, wait, there’s no wealthy Negro neighborhoods, all the wealthy ones have moved into white neighborhoods. Why? because they don’t want to live among their poorer relatives any more than white people do. They want a clean and crime-free place to live and the only places that meet that description are the well-off white neighborhoods.

Orientals, Chinese and Japanese, prefer to live only with their own kind and not mix at all. The same is true to a lesser extent with Hispanics, they like to have their own All-Hispanic neighborhoods, which always seem to become more degraded and crime ridden the more Hispanic they become.

If you look around the world, do a little traveling, it soon becomes obvious that the most civilized places are predominantly white. Even in the nations of Europe where the glory of past ages has faded away, the people are civil, streets are clean. It’s when there’s too many dark skinned people that there’s “flash mobs” robbing stores and causing destruction. It isn’t white people pushing Asians onto the subway tracks. It isn’t white people randomly assaulting aged whites. As a general rule, white people create, dark skinned people destroy.

In fact, currently there’s an effort to “de-white” the population and mix us all up into one homogeneous blend of light brown, and eliminate whiteness altogether. You see it constantly on TV, with most of the actors in the ads being dark skinned men with white women and if there’s children they’re of course obviously racially mixed. The same is true of new movies that come out, all full of dark skinned men with white women, dark men as the action heroes, white men as the villains.

Those behind this may see it as aiding human evolution, I see it as stupidity and an attempt to dumb down the human race, considering that Negroes, especially, have the lowest I.Q.s of us all. Children that result from this mismatch are smarter than their Negro parent but stupider than their white parent, though that point could be argued.

The truth is that most dark skinned people want to be whiter and the reason is too obvious to bother stating but I will anyway, white is better and everyone knows it.
