Big Bird flaps his beak, and MAGA is born

 

Are you familiar with the "butterfly effect"?

Wikipedia describes it thusly:

"In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a…

The country's future awaits the verdict

4/2/25:

 

It looks like a loss in Wisconsin, but the real loss was a few years ago when a GOP judge ran against MAGA. That might as well have been kiss of death. It confirms once again the whole point of the "moderate" GOP is to inflict defeat upon the majority of the party, which is MAGA. It's been either MAGA or conservative all along, and the "moderates" hold the reins as long as the public allows it. It's happening in Texas, too. It wasn't a totally bad night, as the majority in Wisconsin are still for sane policies, but this may have already been tilted in the liberal's favor anyhow. A win would have been a flip.

 

You might as well call it another steal, because that is what you will likely get in Wisconsin in the future. Unless something changes, of course.

 

4/1/25:

 

There's a big election, or one that they say is big. It's in Wisconsin. I don't follow their politics very much. Seems like I don't follow my state of Texas' politics all that much. All the focus is on Washington DC. What's true in my case may translate into the general case.

The people in the various states may be thinking that they've got things wired because Trump is in the White House. But there are 50 states, and all these states are needed in order to keep in hand the reins of power.

Anyway, that is why this election is important. If the Dems win that election, they'll gain some advantage in the Wisconsin political situation, which can translate into the Federal situation. Generally speaking, if you take your eye off the ball, you may well drop it.

The Democrats are being successful in scaring people about DOGE and so forth. I know. I just had a conversation with somebody that convinced me that they are being successful with their fear campaign about Social Security and so forth.

If the Democrats succeed, it will have that fear factor that they are ginning up. The sad thing is that there's so many people who are letting themselves being manipulated into believing false things. I rely upon Social Security, and I don't believe that there's anything to fear. If Trump and Co. start messing around with that in the way that they are being accused of, they will lose massive support, I can tell you. Most of what support the Democrats may be gaining is from the fear that they are generating of something that isn't even true. The fear mongers are not doing these people any good, nor the rest of us.

But that is where we are today.

May you live in interesting times

4/1/25:

Today was rather hectic. I've had just enough time to do one update to another post, and an update here. Interesting times.

3/31/25, 9:46 AM:

 

The "interesting" part is not what it may appear to be. Anyway, I've been having some interesting times lately.

So posting may be lite for the time-being. Things are interesting in my neighborhood. More accurately, it could get interesting. As for today, I've been busy with some chores, while keeping my eyes open.

Not trying to be dramatic. A thing is what it is.

I interrupt this interruption to bring the news that the interruption is suspended for the moment. Consequently it will get boring for a little while, as I resume the unshelduled shedule.

Leo AI doesn't seem to know much about it. A few clicks through what's out there seems to show that this is a very complex topic with no one-size-fits-all type of solution. Still looking.

UK's Modern Water is another name mentioned. However, there's nothing all that new being mentioned on this website.

11:00 AM:



Here's one of the more recent videos of Rob McGinnis. Why would I be interested in this greenie weenie stuff? If it makes sense economically, then there's no need for draconian regulations to put it into large scale practice. But get this: It might make sense on Mars. Guess who's going to Mars?

The original post seems to have gone missing, but there's this copy. So I am wondering: Whatever happened with this tech? It would sure come in handy, you know?

Solve for X

So, I found the post again, and I'm reproducing it yet again for future reference. I've used the IDEA for some of my ideas about energy. The smelling salts are produced the same way, and can be a way to move the hydrogen from place to place. You need to make the hydrogen and then combine it with nitrogen in order to get the ammonia. Ammonia is toxic, so making it into smelling salts makes it harmless. ( until you release the ammonia )

If you release the ammonia in small amounts, then you will limit the damage it could do, you see? Therefore, you could store the smelling salts indefinitely, and then when you want the ammonia, it can be recovered easily.



12/29/16: note:

Smelling salts can desalinate water and be a source of ammonia for a fuel cell, that produces even more water and electricity.

Now all you need is to separate the ammonia from the carbon dioxide.  There's a way...

Big Bird: A Metaphor for Obama

3/31/25:

What about this old post? It's over a dozen years old, and Obama is no longer in the White House. In fact, when I made this post back then, he was still in his first term. Good 'ol Romney was attempting to oppose him, but Romney did not succeed. Why not success? He was trying too hard to be like the guy he was running against, that he couldn't bring himself to honestly oppose him.

That's why the so-called "right" lost all the time. The same formula is taking place in Canada at the moment. The guy running against the Liberal party guy, isn't really opposing him. So the Liberals are likely to win in Canada because the so-called right winger refuses to be any different than the leftard that he is running against. Up until recently, the Liberals were very unpopular. What made them popular this time? By picking a fight with the Orange Man Bad. The Canadians are hopeless unless they find their way out of their bamboozlement. It is not any accident that people get bamboozled. It's the plan. Chew on that on, if you dare.

Bruce Johnson, American Thinker

He makes a case that Obama is Big Bird.  Everybody seems to be Big Bird.  I was thinking that John McCain was Big Bird.  Especially with his attempts to become a member in good standing with the press is reminiscent of the video showed earlier on this blog.  It was Big Bird who made a caricature of himself in order to try to become a member of the Good Birds Club.  Like Big Bird in that video, McCain really does like to get the approval of the left, so much so that he earns the suspicion of conservatives because he plays up to the critics of conservatism.  So, if McCain is really conservative, why doesn't he just be happy with the way he is?

It all depends on how you take Big Bird, I guess.  He seemed to me to be a Big Wuss in that video.  All too often, Republicans like John McCain act like Big Bird did in that video.

Ground News says that this is a "red" blindspot

 

This is not written to dispute it, although I've written many times that the Marxist model is not one you should use if you are a sincere conservative. However, not everyone on the "right" is blind to the significance of this election. You may notice that the political left is definitely not blind to it.

Interpret this how you will. My interpretation is that we are poised on the knife's edge. The difference maker here could be how much people actually care about the truth, and are willing to do something about it.

The Conservative Treehouse

Comment:

The USA has always been more free than average. However, if you are a commie pinko lib, you'll probably dispute that. That's because commie pinko libs have their own "reality", and such reality only applies to the moment, and could change at any moment. In other words, the commie pinko libs are full of sh!t.

P.S.: (pay attention please)

This reminds me of the State of the Union that Ronald Reagan gave in the late eighties. He said three words in the US Constitution that makes America different from all other countries---"WE THE PEOPLE". We the people tell the government what it can and cannot do. Everywhere else, it is the other way around.

Senator Kennedy quizzes liberal kook

 

More proof that those on the left are either stupid or evil. I'd say in the case of this woman (if that is what she identifies as), that she claims the First Amendment doesn't really mean what it says. Oh, no. It means something else. Evidently, this is also the case with the Second Amendment. However, the Constitution, according to her, does says things that clearly aren't there. Fancy that.

She cannot believe what she is saying, or she's nuts or stupid. The First Amendment says quite plainly that "Congress shall make no law". There's not much to argue there. Likewise, the Second Amendment says "the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". But these people will try to argue otherwise. No wonder that they cannot define what a woman is. They're either mentally ill ( stupid ) or evil.

Never heard of Casey Putsch. Tucker Carlson interviews him about his car, so I looked a bit further.

Casey Putsch designed a diesel car that gets 104 miles per gallon – New York to LA on one tank – and goes zero to sixty in five seconds. But no car company wants to make it. Why is that?

And here's a video where he shows his road test of his car.

So there it is. Does his car really do what he says? It appears so, but this hasn't been independently verified. However, he does do a road test with Teslas, Corvette, and the Viper. All of these cars are considered fast cars, but they aren't any better than what he shows here. For what it is worth, ya'll.

Is Elon Musk's Business Empire Collapsing?

 

There may well be cracks developing. However, a lot of this latest bad PR is a result of people ( and nations ) who have an axe to grind. However, that doesn't explain it all. There are some problems developing.

 

SpaceX seemed to be the most promising of Musk's ventures. I don't care that much about Tesla, but even that could be turned around. Mainly for this commentary, SpaceX practically owns the launch business. Nobody can touch their resuable first stages, and the fully reusable Starship could revolutionize the space industry. At the moment, things might be a bit dicey, and the warning lights are flashing on the dashboard. If Musk isn't careful, he could blow it. Just my opinion. The video below seems to leave you with a "yes" to the question being posed. I'm not so sure he is in trouble, but he could get there.
