WHERE I LIVE AND BANK

 I stopped at the bank to get some cash for my new barber and found this friendly notice giving us plenty of time to prepare for the coming ‘sun blotted out’ darkness. Good thing, eh? Wouldn’t want be standing around in the twilight and have to kick myself for not getting to the bank before darkness falls.

A MODEST PROPOSAL

 What if every public school was forced at gunpoint to comply with the law that permits every teacher and every student to vote to expel one student every month? Those expelled could not attend any normal school and would have to go to jail school for at least one school year before being allowed to return to a real school.

Teacher votes would each equal ten student votes. There would be no other weighting. The student with the most votes every month would be drop-kicked right out of the school district and might as well start reporting to a parole officer.

I found that 10% of the people that work for you really are 90% of the problem and things go much more smoothly when you either get rid of that 10% or keep it under complete control. I think every place would work better if they simply pruned that 10%/.

COULD IT BE EASIER

 Instead of being made to look like world class jackasses in Gaza wouldn’t it be easier to dump all the supplies we mean to give to the terrorists into the sea off the coast and let the terrorists wrangle it ashore?    That would give the evil fucks something useful to do before they all get slaughtered. Alternatively, simply dump the goodies just inside the gate to the land of overt terrorism and tell them to distribute it. Problem solver, that’s what I am.

I used to be part of the security forces for Joint Logistics Over the Shore and I cannot imagine how horrible this is going to be. On the other hand just watching the USFK staff go berserk trying to dodge responsibility for any and all aspects of FREEDOM BANNER every year where we did JLOTS was endlessly amusing to the rest of us that were not actually members of any Korea based headquarters staff.

Watching CINCPAC goon it up in furtherance of whatever the goal of the week was during COBRA GOLD was also good fun. Telling that jackass in Songkla that given the revised parameters of the exercise we were all planning on returning to San Diego and advising our bosses to decline the opportunity to participate in the exercise was really the best fun I’ve had at a meeting of the minds. He h kept thinking we could put up an elevated causeway using under 20 people and without bringing Amphibious CB ONE and their gear. “ Have you considered leasing all those vehicles and equipment  here or contracting with the Thais to do all that?” 

Us repeatedly telling him that this is not the point was wasted. Oddly enough, all the stolen sealift was restored and we did the exercise much like we did it in Korea but without all the damned drama.it still blows my mind that they simply got rid of the amphibious CB in the east coast. What in the world do they do with all the money they get for a navy every year?

OLD LEARNING

 Try to understand war before you are forced to experience it.

MODERN COMMAND AND CONTROL

 President Biden assured the nation that he would build a port on the Gaza coast and that it would require no American boots on the ground!!!!!!!!

At the JCS in Top Secret conference the generals are trying to decide how best to implement this order and it isn't pretty folks.

-'I think we can satisfy the Commander's Intent by just using our Chinese made boots. The soldiers already wear them, they're the only boots we've issued for the last 13 years and I think it is safe to say they are not American....'

-'No General, I disagree spoke up another General, simply by buying them Chinesium boots they became American and we can't walk that away.....'

-'You're right chimed in a 3rd General, the only safe course of action is to send the troops in barefoot.'

"All in agreement say aye, aye. The ayes have it. General, tell the soldiers that they are forbidden to wear boots during the port construction and cargo offload operations in Gaza."

One general was heard muttering about flipflops as they all filed out of the room and went to lunch.

REVERSION TO THE NORM

 As we idly watch Haiti burn we cannot but be struck by how things always seem to go awry and then for some reason they return to balance if left alone....or at least if we can keep our fingerprints off it and don't look like we had anything to do with it. I realize that this is impossible given the feckless idiots we have running and manning the State Department, USAID, the CIA and the other nullwits and halfwits that tend to barge into any given situation and make them orders of magnitude worse. That said, have a look at the demons in our old United Fruit Stomping Grounds and further south and wonder with me as something extraordinary is happening.

The Argentine's appear to have elected a President who is essentially nothing at all like any other president in history and appears to be doing a bang up job of bringing order out of the chaos engineered by every clown government since Peron. In El Salvador the people have done the same thing and made enormous and dramatic and positive changes to what used to be a hellhole.

Contrast with Venezuela which is now a hopeless basket case and playing the games such places always do and trying to make their problems disappear in a cloud of smoke and angry meaningless war. And finally there is Haiti, there is always Haiti and to be honest the rest of the Caribbean isn't looking so good these days.

Did things work and appear more civilized and like one could do business and survive the day to day activities of a normal state back when people like Samoza and Baby Doc and Noriega were running their little pocket empires of graft and corruption? I think so but then the Congress got involved and screwed those countries so thoroughly that I'm sure some people thought could be fixed only by the likes of the Clintons and the likes of Obama.

We know how that turns out. Still it won't turn totally to crap until Europe goes all feckless and stupid like they did in 1914 and again in 1939 and again in 1956 and again in 1968 and again when the Wall came down and for a brief shining moment everyone stopped demonizing the Russians.

What's that you say? Europe even more stupid and feckless now than all those periods put together, laid end to end, stacked on top of each and covered with napalm?

You don't say.


KIND OF FUNNY

 I scanned this bit of fluff and found it amusing.

"One of Harvard University’s former top officials has been named in two ethics complaints over his law firm billing the school $42 million while he held office.

The Massachusetts Attorney General is looking into whether or not Harvard was right to pay law firm Wilmer Hale the money while partner William Lee was a member of the Board of Overseers and director of the Harvard Corporation, the New York Post reported.

The news outlet reported Thursday “that the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers and the state’s attorney general have been sent formal complaints accusing Lee of ‘possible conflict of interest by trustee/director with pecuniary interest in service provider to Harvard.’”

“Lee, who graduated from Harvard in 1972, served on the university’s board of directors from July 2010 to June 2022, and was senior fellow of the Harvard Corporation from 2014 to 202

 Every single bit of cachet and raison d'ĂȘtre that the Ivy League has/had is about making connections to allow its graduates to feather their nests at the public's expense through insider deals and trading on favors. Now they notice that this looks unethical? 

You know at some point these rocket scientists are going to begin to wonder why NASA is still procuring services from United Launch and then there will be some serious law suits and NASA people going to jail and it won't do much good to point at Congress and shouting about how "they made us do it!"

NEW SIGGINS AND POORTENTS

 I hear that the Resident is planning on ordering the Army to launch a seaborne invasion of Gaza. Just think! The idiots that brought us the catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan are going to rush to supply the enemies of man and God in the Holy Land.

After looking at history for one and a half seconds it occurs me that not even an imbecile can screw this up. They can do it just like the Aliyah Bet did it. God knows we have plenty of scrap ships we could load up with some MREs and meticulously preserved old blankets Joe’s people found on some reservation somewhere and run them aground all over the Gaza shore.

A NEW WAR INFLECTION POINT

 There are some people that view what is happening in Gaza very much the way they are viewing what is going on in Ukraine and the Black Sea. The two are not really connected by anything except the exposure of the latest generation of war doctrine on display in each area. The United States did away with it's old fashioned and sensible approach to urban combat a long time ago by simply refusing to engage in it or to believe that it mattered since they controlled the cities that mattered. The Israelis are showing a massive contempt for all the whiny shibboleths about not inconveniencing the 'poor innocent civilians' and it shows that there really is no other way to root out dug in combatants who couldn't care less about damage to civilians and/or civilian infrastructure. At heart they are like the Nazis and the Soviets. Destruction is an end to be desired and not something to be eschewed or feared.

The other massive difference that is showing up is happening in Ukraine where the introduction of the totally expendable one-way targeting and killing drone is shaping the new battlefields of the 21st century just about the way most of us predicted. Admittedly, I'm still waiting for those killer drones to start making an impact on the political scene in various cities in the West. Let's be honest, if a cook with a limited bank account and access to some RC parts can cobble together killer drones from kits so can enemies as sophisticated as Baader Meinhof or the Red Brigades or the IRA or all those scary White Christian nationalists. Of course the ones that will be the first to thrust themselves out onto the killing stage will be the likes of anti-fa and our fresh crop of home-grown muslim discontented death to America types.

With any luck they'll practice and hone their skills closer to home and use their local officials as training aids. 

On the gripping hand, one cannot fail to notice that the most involved party of rabid killer lunatics don't seem to have any luck at all with this sort of modern warfare. Even the houthis can make it work somehow but palestinians in Gaza appear to have failed to launch even a single successful drone attack. I join the rest of the world in hoping that that is because somebody like Elbit has deployed a system that makes that impossible.

I still like that the first time I read about this it was fiction.

I wonder how the generals can sleep at night knowing that they have no more defense against the Kinzal and Zircon missiles then the British had against the V2 in 1945. As far as I can see there is nobody making any effort to counter the threat if it can even be countered. This might be one weapon that will always get through simply because the detect-to-engage loop is an unbreakable barrier that cannot be resolved without directed energy weapons of enormous power. Hell, we might be going back to Terrier-BTN type defensive tactics and wouldn't that be a nightmare. It wouldn't work though so they probably won't try it again....

SO WE'LL JUST DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

The Supreme Court has unanimously declared Colorado is stuffed with corrupt, stupid and inept imbeciles and has also tossed out their ridiculous democracy-saving idiocy of disqualifying a man running for office because....butt hurt. What this means for us in the saner parts of America is that just as they do with their moronic and endless butt hurting about guns, the democrat morons are going to continue and redouble their efforts to disqualify Trump from the ballot in every other democrat controlled state because.... yeah, butt hurt. 

It's like the stupid never ever ends with these morons. It's so disheartening and yet it is a pure and honest reflection of the level of fail that our public education has instituted across this nation for the last 50 years that so many people can be so ignorant of the Constitution and Civics and never suffer so much as a hint of shame or public embarrassment for being so damned stupid.

Every single moron sitting as the RULERS OF COLORADO LAW were just told that they are quite possibly too stupid to breath without assistance. Will they resign in shame? Hang their heads down? No, they'll just moan about how unfair it is. Yes, some of the idiots voted against it but it speaks volumes that they could fail to articulate the law to the other Colorado Supreme morons who supposedly had more than a passing familiarity with the Law. That level of inarticulate arrgle barrgle is enough to disqualify them too.

I look for California and Illinois and the rest to press on with their efforts to shed Trump from their ballots in the same name of saving democracy.

I MIGHT TUNE IN

 Thursday night is Biden delivering the State of the Union Address. I once would have presumed that it is broadcast but nowadays it may be something I have to pay a subscription fee to watch in which case it will go unwatched by me. It will be interesting to see:

1. Biden actually talk for 6 minutes without flubbing it dramatically and declaring war on the USSR.

2. Biden flail around for more than one or two minutes trying to say "it" just exactly right, like Bill did.

3. What the most imaginative reason offered is for Biden's no-show and non-appearance at the SoTU.

4. How many times the reason is officially changed by the White House's Speaker to Morons.

 There!!!! Light and fluffy like I wanted it to be.

AMONG THE OLDEST ADVICE

 I read bit of fluff and laughed because the grown up in me knows that there is literally nothing Trump can do to the Deep State. He cannot fire even one of them because they're all in the Civil Service and therefore untouchable even if they commit felony crimes and anger the people. He can't send them to Adak and nothing Alaska ever did deserves finding itself buried in a sea of incompetent thuggish bureaucrats who seem to occupy every government position from GS-9 up to the SES.

For the little scaredy cats who don't understand that Trump is harmless I'm sure they're plotting like crazy. They forgot the ancient advice about never leaving a live enemy behind them.

On the gripping hand there is always the hope that Trump will come in and tell the top 8 levels of all the bureaucracies that they're redundant and tell them to go home and take away their government cars, their government jets, their government helicopters and all their stationary and mail accounts and let them sue him in Court to return to the office because he can tie them up in court for years and then do what he should have done and just ignored the court.

If rule by decree is good enough for Biden and the left, it is good enough for Trump and I don't care what Alaska wants, there's plenty of room on Adak for at least 59,000 bureaucrats. They'd have to share the telephone and God only knows how they'll keep warm in the winter when we turn the contract for services  to Adak over to Hunter Biden and give him $20.00 to cover them all.

IN A SANER WORLD

 I read somewhere that what people now think of as AI is really a 'Large Language Model' and this thing is created by exposing the poor little waif of an electronic orphan to everything that is out there and the deeper the well of madness the more thoroughly plumbed it will be by the builders of "AI".  Now when you actually think about what these perverts are exposing this naive little AI to words that spring to mind are: deviant, credulous, stupid, argumentative, hypergay and LGBTQSAAURSTUJDINOPBSNPR and ABCNBCCBSMSNBC. It strikes me that one would achieve the same sort of outcome and effect if one trained a nascent new Law AI using just episodes of Judge Judy and Judge Wopner.

In a somewhat saner world, I wonder what would happen to any given nascent AI after exposing it to the canon of English. It could start with every volume of The Harvard Classics, swallow the complete Encyclopedia Britannica and for an encore, learn French, Japanese, Spanish and Chinese and swallow the entire compendium of their literature for the last 1000 years. Then it gets everything written by Shakespeare for dessert. I wonder what that model would come up with. I bet it would be profoundly different from any model that got 100% of the ravings of twitter and reddit which seems to be what google was striving for with its useless clunker.

IN A REAL COUNTRY

 If this was still a Constitutional Republic one would be allowed to think that the people who violated the Constitution this egregiously and knowingly, would go to jail but instead it's simple people who went for an escorted tour of the Capital who go to jail while the real lawbreaking monsters still roam free.

GOOGLE VISION

 Google made it clear to everyone who and what they are and there is no way for them to take back that free look they gave the world of what lies under the sheets. With their AI unable to portray white people or even create accurate(ish) pictures of real history the question must become, why would you trust google about anything at all? I don't.

I think that convergence has happened across the board in all these companies that exist to create product for you to buy and that all of them are doing their utmost to reshape your view of the world both directly and indirectly. They don't just massage the truth, they plain hide it and bury it. I remember looking at McCain's history which I was familiar with and it took scrolling through over 25 pages of fake news and fake information to reach anything like ground truth on John S. McCain and that can only be because even way back then they had so thoroughly trashed the search algorithms that they were only showing the worst news about conservatives and republicans.

Note, I don't use the idiot term misinformation. That's a tool of the left and those who perpetuate the lie. There are many people who have made the mistake of trusting what they read or were taught without ever thinking that it should in some way be corroborated but that was not due to 'misinformation' that was due to indoctrination and outright lies and dishonesty.

Google search engines drive the world of information and I have never trusted them and they have now demonstrated every reason for you to decline to accept anything they say, tell you or come up with. I never use the verbal helpers Siri or the others but I wonder how far off the beam they are. I doubt they are even inside the envelope anymore when it comes to truth.

Imagine taking 'handymanj' advice from google because they'll deliberately engineer it to break things that cause you to go to the store to spend money to buy replacements. That's what they did except they included your brain in the replacement category.

PAINFULLY AMUSING

 As I read yet another broadside aimed at the alleged superior intellects running Harvard aground I find it amusing that so many of these mental pygmies are being brought low by their penchant for plagiarizing. What makes it so painful is that all these ‘leaders and bureaucrats’ seem to plagiarize work in their specialty areas of gender and race bullshit. 

The only way to find the lifted words is to read and be familiar with the full hateful spectrum of race and gender ‘professional articles’ and the dissertations of the leading lights in these bogus academic fields of endeavor. Can you say yeecccchhhh?

ON HISTORY

 I grew up reading history. I read everything I could get my hands on and if some of it was beyond me I wouldn't have known. I knew a lot of history and other things as a result of reading both at home and the libraries in the various towns and places I grew up. I was just reading that academics produced a list of the greatest U.S. Presidents and that Obama was 7th greatest and Biden was 14th greatest. 

It strikes me now that I stopped reading history about 25 years ago when I finished the coursework for Strategy and Policy for the Naval War College. I confess I read a great deal of history during a fairly short period but it wasn't burnout that ended my love of reading history but rather the weak stuff I saw in the marketplace back then as we prepared for the new millennium. The only things I ever found in the history section in Borders or Barnes and Noble were crap books praising Clinton, the other Clinton and/or were all written by left wing Party apparatchiks and there was no question but that the books were all worthless.

I kept up with some of the biographies that came out then and later but the academic writing of history was very much a light that failed in the 20th century. I see that vox is publishing a number of Sir Charles Oman's Peninsular histories and that is a good thing but I was introduced to Oman as a freshman in 1979 and had read everything I of his I could get my hands on which included the Political History of England in 12 volumes. Yep, the stacks in Old Main contained a copy of every book. I've walked through modern university libraries and they have hardly any books at all.

I've recently thought about visiting the history section of the local B&N but catch myself asking, why?

On the other hand there's a fine place just down the road in Wooster than may have some good used history tucked away that will justify the journey and be worth the read.

ACT II SCENE II

 The woke were really surprised when Black Rock terminated an almost lifelike real journalist that used to work at CBS. What really has their pates twittered is that the Executives at Commie Broadcast Sympathizers took away the reporters's files and computers and all that and has by so doing, COMPROMISED her sources. The Screen Actors Guild is really upset about this.

Can you imagine the naiveté of 'sources' who actually go on the record with someone from the mainstream news empire that is all owned by the same exact people that control all network and cable news channels in the United States? It goes without question that nobody having any kind of leaning towards voting for President Trump would even dream about entrusting his/her future and livelihood to the pathetic wanks that shill the same top 6 news stories every night as all the other network news services night after night, year after year, decade after decade. Do they think we all failed to notice that somehow only a tiny handful of things get covered by the news and questions like, who killed Epstein never rise to the surface and neither does the list of politicians, actors, actresses, lawyers and other scum that flew the Lolita Hooker Express to Epstein's Island?

Hey! Show me just exactly WHERE the 210 billion dollars the US government claims they had and that they shipped to Ukraine went? Who got it? How much? Show us the bank transactions. That would be news. That would be interesting. Do the same thing for the trillion dollars we 'supposedly' poured into Iraq and Afghanistan. Show us where EXACTLY the money went. It should be dead easy. Somebody cut a US Treasury Check and sent it and there MUST/HAS to be a list. Same thing for every single WIRE transaction. That would be interesting.

Explain why everybody knows about some bit of election fraud and yet nobody seems to get arrested and go to jail for it.

No, the news here is useless and has been for a very long time and by and large, nobody cares.

AND THE SADDEST TRUTH

 When the secret cabal running the country realize that Biden's poll numbers conclusively demonstrate that he cannot win and more to the point, cannot be dragged across the finish line with another mad flourish of thoroughly rotten cheating and chicanery it will mean curtains for confused Joe and the nation will be asked to usher in Kamala as the new "Resident" over the still cooling corpse of Joe Biden.

The movie Dave had a happy ending. I'm pretty sure what happens after that will not be happy despite Kamala's long record of happy endings in California. 

FACE OF EVIL

Look everyone! The Nazgul have escaped Middle Earth and are now the final arbiters of law in America.
Chief Ring Wraith and Lord of your actual judicial Evil

There are lesser evil wraiths but they're much too vile to look at and their voices bend metal.

What a great pity that they destroyed any faith in the Department of Justice, the Courts, Judges and the Law. Credibility is not just hard to claw back, it's impossible to get back once it's been flushed down the drain.

THE KNIGHTS BACHELOR

I wonder if there is money to be made offering my services to college professors who want to rid themselves of some turbulent fascist weasels. Would one charge more for getting rid of the ones in the College of Arts and Sciences or less and what would the scale for such services be if they ranged from loathsome communist/fascist undergrads up to senior faculty only a stupid dolt would have ever hired in the first place? 

 I figure I could always job the hits out to Anti-fa. Those fascist pigs will do anything.

On the gripping hand, it would be fairly straightforward and simple to let loose in the wild some of the crazier mean things the awful disdained and turbulent knaves said about other races (as long as they're not talking about white people) or the crazy mean things they all say about women whenever they're not around (excpet dem women who appear to tolerate just about any abuse).

Worst comes to worse we could arrange to hang a noose somewhere they hang out and let the blame fall on them since clearly only the vicious kkk thugs would swing a noose at random like that. They'd be gone in a week and heartily ashamed of themselves to boot.

Oh well, it's just a dream.

THE LONG HARD GOODBYE

 It's time to bid NATO farewell and it has been for about 30 years now. The world has changed a lot since 1947. Honestly, the only two reasons it remained together for so long have faded away. The Soviet Union is now long gone and the United States went worse then broke trying to sustain the illusion of power long after the need had faded away. GDP etc from investopedia.



Current US stated debt is, 2 years later standing at: $34 trillion. It has increased by 11 trillion in just 2 years and we haven't even fought Russia and China yet! This does not include those off-budget items that nobody ever talks about. Just servicing the debt every year from this day forward equals the amount of money spent on the Defense Department. Our response to this little problem of simply opening the country to millions of illegal, impoverished, uneducated, ignorant migrants is literally insane.

REQUIRED READING

 This is an article that should be made mandatory reading everywhere in the West. 

I’ve been reading his stuff since I started commuting to Korea over twenty years ago. He wrote as Spengler back then and I found what he wrote to be far more accurate then literally anything else out there, including classified diplomatic traffic. That there is no one that I know of in the United States understanding anything about what is happening now as the Biden admin carefully and thoroughly destroys the underpinnings of Western civilization and the dollar's global domination is almost insane.

Read the article at the link.

NAME THE MISSILES

 What are the things our Navy is claiming to shoot down all the time in the Red Sea. Every missile has a name so what are these 3rd world missiles being zorched  by Aegis? Who makes them? How do they get to Yemen? Are they subject to EW? How are the Houthi targeting them? What do they use for targeting? Is it really something as boneheaded and simple as sending radar homing missiles to the coordinates of the ships being broadcast by every single ship over the Automatic Identification System (AIS)?

Just how stupid would a mariner have to be to leave that enabled anywhere at all in the Red Sea, North Arabian Sea, Persian Gulf or Indian Ocean?

Why don't we just do like the NATO fools and escort only US Flagged ships like we did back the last time this happened and Iran was attacking KOTC tankers in the Persian Gulf? We are under no obligation at all to protect the world's shipping or the world's oceans. I find I'm OK if trade comes to a dead stop through the Suez Canal.
