What was that again?

I'll quote WWE wrestler HHH here. "For a man who has something to say about everything, Im speechless." I wake up to news that there was a very close call with another plane and helicopter. A tweet from a twit describing this EXACT thing as a way to do away with DEI. Other tweets from twits saying how they want to deport people like Martin Luther King Jr.

Allow that to sink in dear reader. They want to deport people who would disagree with dear leader, and in this case I guess dig up the graves of those whom were (emphasis on the were here, because you know, they're dead) American citizens. Oh and I did mention that they are DEAD?!?!?! Oh, Ann Frank, her too!...yep folks, not only was she never in America, she is dead.

All the while people are in a tear to deport people, others can't even get a passport? Help me understand that. You want a certain demographic gone for your nation, yet you are blocking the path for them to leave. This does not make sense.

The best part of waking up

Well in today's news the best part of me waking up was this lovely cup of coffee. No, no Folgers, well maybe, if they pay a sponsorship.

Now dear reader, with mirth aside, what did I really wake up to? Lutherans are money launders it would seem. Heaven forbid they do as Jesus taught in the Bible and be charitable. Oh no, they help refugees. That's horrible! Deport Martin Luther! (not the Jr with King in the name as well). Yes that was a call back to a previous rambling.

What else delighted my news feeds this morning? Oh 7 or so airplane "crashes" in just under two days. You know...if I remember correctly...Trump put a hiring freeze in place that affected the FFA. FFA had reported before this that they needed more ATCs...And now lines at the airport will take you 5 hours to get through because TSA isn't showing up either. At this point I think I would even resort to walking. At least then I have a better chance of getting were I need to be alive.

And the treasury department isn't even safe....I think I will leave that one right there.

Anyone know the difference between sapients and sentients? (hope I spelled that right)

Pull the the other one, its a little short.

So it has recently (as in just a few minutes ago) been brought to my attention that Payless Putin is blaming the Obama and Biden administration for hiring individuals whose mental capacity, or lack thereof, makes them a DEI hire. That dear readers means he believes the mentally handicapped run ATC....let that sink in. I believe this is an instance in which the joke writes itself. Our DEI President is railing about two administrations that were separated by his own prior administration for DEI hires for ATC.

From my previous post, watch the dog, not the tail. Do not be distracted from what is going on. States not getting their funding for needed programs that not only help the public, but also fulfill contract obligations to vendors/suppliers. Federal employees being told they were not going to be getting a paycheck. All done by the pen of a man who doesn't understand that there are some States that send way more to the Federal government than they receive.

Many of us, myself included, have to be reminded of how federal grants and funding works. But this man is the President. You would think this is something that he should know. Or at the very least something those around him and advising him should know. He should know how even though he said that Social Security wouldn't be effected, what he signed 100% was going to effect programs like Social Security. The Federal government does not pay individuals directly. They pay the States and the States pay the people. The States send money to the Federal government and in return gets the funding needed. You stop paying the States, the States may very well stop paying you. We have to be able to keep up with the programs and obligations some how.

Such a good puppers!

There is a concept called "wagging the dog". It's a play on cause and effect. Is the the dog wagging the tail or is the tail wagging the dog. Normally we all believe that the dog is wagging the tail. We know that the tail doesn't really have a mind of its own. So what are we saying when we say "wagging the dog". From my interpretation it is this; the effect we see of what would seem to be excited tail movements that look to be wagging the dog! Isn't that great. It's hilarious to look at!....all while not paying attention to facts we know to be true.

Distraction. Don't look behind the curtain. Don't question what you are seeing. See, its the tail wagging the dog........

How do we not learn?

In the day of the internet, in which just about the entire collective knowledge of humans is available, how do we not learn from our own history? Sentiments from WW2 of "well, they aren't coming for me, so I will stay quiet", and then no one was left to speak for those who choice it was to keep the status quo, to stay silent. Concepts that have made it to memes about not believing that the leopards would eat my face, only to finally feel the tooth and claw to much amazement.

I share my thoughts here because in the past social revolutions started in the gathering places of those who are in disagreement with the way society is heading. Even the natural philosophers of our past would meet socially in coffee houses to discuss philosophy and science. The American revolution started in the ale houses. The hippies of my parents generation had things like Woodstock. Now the very same internet that gives us access to our history has become the place in which ideas can be shared, discussed, defended, and all view points can be aired.

Afternoon musings

Normally I post in the morning, or at least that is what Im trying to get into a rhythm of doing. In todays entertainment:

SubStack is a great place I have found to see such creatures like Aaron Parnas. It would seem that even members of Congress, whom constitutionally control the purse strings, were denied access to the Treasury building and no reason given.

Our orange and chief has come out and said that we should just take Gaza and develop it for the profit of the US. Let that sink in dear reader. Those who believe they have claim to the Gaza Strip have been told to take a flying leap and that the Americans are coming.

At least one of the multiple plane crashes that have happened in the past week looks more like a missile strike than a crash.

We now have the department of "Those Who Work For a Living" set up by what used to be called the Teamsters. You know...that group were we still don't know if Hoffa is alive or dead? Wouldn't be surprised if we find his body dug up some day or WITSEC coming out and saying "Oh he passed last year of old age. We knew where he was the whole time".

My lovely wife and I dearly love discussing philosophical concepts and we landed on one yesterday. History repeating itself. Unless man changes who they are, we can predict future outcomes based on prior historical actions. Of course this isn't 100%, but the failure rate is statistically low enough that this concept is used in the court of law in America.

But they will never take our...

Well let's see what the morning has brought us. We have a state that is banning smutty romance books. So there is one freedom taken away. Said same state is now saying that children with disabilities will no longer be allowed in schools. Well, it could be that they are removing the requirement and leaving it up to the parent, but really?

How much do we allow them to take away from us?

The Romans, towards the end and to the best of my recollection, instituted the "bread and circus". Keep the populace entertained at the Colosseum and offer free bread while they are there. All to distract from what was really going on.

I am tired. I am tired of the bullshit that comes with being a white woman. I am tired of watching people doing everything they can to hurt themselves just for the opportunity to maybe see hurt inflicted on another. I am tired of people talking about how they are sorry they voted for Payless Putin because they just didn't know.
