Apologies to astronomy buffs, goofy-goggle-wearers and druids, but I’m not all that excited about it.

Well, one thing would be fun – around 2:43 I’d like to see this tweet:

Just to drive the media crazypants.

I am starting to think our media warriors believe the battlefield consists of the bubble of their own making.

Once more, just like the NBC tape, the John McCain comments, the Mexican Judge, the travel ban, the inaugural crowd size and so forth, they think the POTUS is fatally wounded because in the bubble , by bubble rules, he must be.

Trump is blessed that his opponents do not operate in anything approaching the reality for a majority of American people.

Our elites have lived in the abstract so much they have lost comprehension for viewpoints from actual reality.

So we now have Antifa running amok with full throated support from Media, Dems and GOPe.

The pictures in the papers and on internet video are far from moving … Continue reading →

Elsewhere these days there has been talk of a UBI – a Universal Basic Income. As one might expect, it has been proposed by Lefties as the basic means to guarantee all people a subsistence level of income. There are numerous arguments about why this is not a great idea, but I don’t believe we need to look at that here. We all grasp the underlying reasons society would not be benefited by this.

But beyond this, there is a looming question, not necessarily of our or even our children’s lifetime, of what happens when there are no longer jobs. The scenario runs like this. AI improves continuously until it is able to run everything – and better than humans. It is always on the job, it is … Continue reading →

Here’s an update from Reuters, linked by the inexplicably popular gCaptain.

About a dozen U.S. sailors are expected to face punishment for a collision in June between the USS Fitzgerald and a Philippines cargo ship, including the warship’s commanding officer and other senior leaders of the ship, the Navy said on Thursday.

The headline is in factual error, but the story sounds well-researched. Only one officer will be relieved of command, of course. More than officers will be disciplined — at least one enlisted man will be shuttered in some way.
Alongside the tales of heroism and sacrifice, there remain of course the more tiresome details of administration and fault-finding.

“What difference at this point does it make?” Of course, the difference made is in the … Continue reading →

At the White House today, President Donald Trump came out strongly against impaling puppies on swords. In a speech in the Rose Garden, the president said, “I condemn this barbaric practice in the strongest terms.”

But CNN’s Smarty McSmartypants criticized Trump for not using the phrase “those icky bullies,” saying this is clear evidence of his secret support. MSNBC’s I.B. Sillee reported that because Trump failed to use any words that start with the letter “q,” the speech was a policy failure.  Rep Maxine Waters called a press conference to object to Trump’s use of the word “barbaric,” calling it “an obvious dog whistle to Islamophobes.”

This picture is being scrubbed from the newsfeed links that carried it. I wonder why?

If you are following the latest meme skirmish where the Globals try to destroy Trump in the mind of the voters, the labelling him as a fascist supporter and the disbanding of the CEO councils are forcing him to move far more populist with less balance.

We are watching a very risky game where the globalists think they can rally the peons with negative images and Trump will be forced to move closer to a working class base.

I fully expect less corporate cooperation and more corporate scapegoating for the too big to fail crowd.

As the statues keep falling and the antifa thugs keep swarming, the response will be that the Globals overplayed their hand , again.

The Globals alternative to people is just ….nothing but ‘know … Continue reading →
