A hit song from the sixties. That was supposed to be the swinging sixties. Hmm. Pretty innocent time, if you ax me.
Yes, I like the song.

Review of the Movie "The Arroyo"
12/26/25:
Here's another video to add to the database. The video embed itself is at the bottom of the post.

Description: It's about The Arroyo Trailer video

I don't think I've ever posted anything about the "obvious" connection between "The Arroyo" and "No Country for Old Men".
Next thing that is "obvious", is the question of why would they pattern it upon another movie? Perhaps Declaration Entertainment missed the boat. The reason for the movie being made was a sort of protest against the kind of movies being made in Hollywood.
Of course, it has all gotten worse. Hollywood is worse than ever.
Declaration Entertainment was going to do another movie that might have been a knock against Star Wars and Star Trek.
If Declaration Entertainment missed the boat, what might they have done differently? Maybe having a sense of humor. They took themselves a bit too seriously. Like we all do. That's our problem.
Note: I used scare quotes around the word obvious. If it was so obvious, then why didn't I notice this sooner? No answer except that it seems dumb in retrospect.
Update, 9/23/23:
Just spent a bit of time perusing some reviews of the "documentary" about Cleopatra. I won't link to it. Just mentioning it here in the context of what Bill Whittle tried to accomplish a decade ago. It is also worth mentioning there was a movie that re-did Barbie. Yep, it was not well-received.
So there it is again. Just a whole lot of belly-aching, but doing absolutely NOTHING about it.
I tried. I contributed to the movie "Arroyo". Modestly contributed to it. If people would just get off their asses and DO something, good things MIGHT happen. But noooooooo. You've got all the belly-aching and nothing done about it. Indeed! We've got "conservatives" who would prefer to fight US than to fight Democrats!
the original post of 10/5/22 is directly below:
Hollywood Stasi, an old story
It appears that those Americans who oppose the powers-that-be cannot sustain a movement long enough for it to reach fruition. That is a fault that should be remembered first BEFORE you start bellyaching about the political left. We've been down this road many times before, yet the results seem to be the same. It is the continual drift to socialism, societal decay, and failure. The fault dear Brutus, may lie within us.
Nothing will change until there is a sustained movement that cannot be denied. This is what Paul Krugman and his ilk are so afraid of. Krugman called it "movement conservatism". There's a clue about the left that Krugman may not have wanted to be emphasized. He called it "movement" conservatism. The only kind of conservatism that the left likes is the kind that doesn't move. In other words, it is dead, or might as well be.
Hollywood can make movies that cast conservatives as villains, but why can't "conservatives" do anything about that? Oh, but there's a lot of bellyaching. You're not going to change the left, but you can certainly beat them at their own game---provided that there's still the opportunity to do so.
Declaration Entertainment attempted to do that. But the "conservatives" failed to rally behind it. Perhaps because there wasn't the perceived need. Has that changed? So you get this post on Instapundit, which is a link to somebody who wrote a post about the "Hollywood Stasi". It just seems to be in the mold of talking but not doing anything about it.
What to do? Conservatives need to get the "fire in the belly". Also, to see alternatives being brought to the market, while we still have one. As Dan Bongino says all the time, we need an alternative economy. We have to be able to impose real financial pain on the left, or there won't be alternatives to the left anymore. One way is to compete with Hollywood. Hollywood is anti-conservative. Companies like Declaration Entertainment could have provided that alternative in that economic space of making movies.
There's more to it. It is a comprehensive plan and movement that is needed. That's what the left seems to have had so much success with. They've had that success because nobody has had that fire in the belly to see it to completion.
All talk and no action is no longer permissible. Time to get moving.

This will be a short review. First of all, a background. The movie was a Bill Whittle project. It was made by an outfit called Declaration Entertainment, which I helped fund as a "citizen-producer". As a consequence of my support, they now just got around to sending me a copy. It is also true that I dropped out after a short term, so I didn't fund it all the way to its completion. Okay, so the criticism can go both ways.
I went in thinking that this may have been a "jerk-off" fantasy, as so many things are in our society these days. To my surprise, it didn't not confirm that. However, there was an element of unreality to it that I must call out.
The good guy is injured in a manner that probably made him incapable of doing what he did in the climax. That's the unreality. But the unreality was necessary for the film to reach its climax.
It is true that, in the movies, the "good guy" wins. Even today, in Hollywood movies that Whittle objects to, the "good guy" wins. But, what is "good" and what is "bad"? That's the rub. It all depends upon where you're standing as to the identity of that personage.
In this movie, the good guy wins. After all, he's just defending what's his. Even in Hollywood, the guy here can be a hero. Nothing out of the usual here.
I think what Whittle wants to do is to motivate people into not being sheep, and start acting like free men. I applaud that. The main character is a man in that mold. Someone we used to look up to. Today's Hollywood would make this guy into a villain because he's just too macho for today's tastes. There's the difference, perhaps.
Today's men are driven into passivity. Today's men are told that it's okay for them to literally be like girls. So, it shouldn't be a surprise that that is the way some of them behave.
Yet, in this movie, the women are bad ass too. It doesn't necessarily follow the old sex type mold.
It's an okay movie. But it may shift a bit into the unreal mode in order to keep the hero heroic. That's a small fault to find. Otherwise, a movie can't be a movie without some artistic license. People have to have their fairy tales.

The Stupidity of Our Federal Government

Title: Jim Kennedy - Link Between Thorium and Self Reliance in Rare Earths & Energy @ TEAC4
Author: gordonmcdowell

It bears repeating, even at the risk of being tiresome. The speaker here is distinguishing between two different types of ores. There's an ore with Thorium in it, which also holds all of the Rare Earths we're looking for, and another without Thorium. This other kind is preferred for some strange reason, and consequently, we do not obtain the Rare Earths. It isn't from the lack of Monazite ore, in which the Thorium resides, it is because the regulators are prohibiting it due to the TINY amount of radiation that Thorium emits.
Pretty silly, eh? It isn't any more dangerous than all kinds of other things we already do, but it is prohibited as if it were some of the most dangerous substances out there.
A banana has more radioactivity in it than a equal mass of Thorium. It's dumb policy. The talk above is over 10 years old. Evidently, the policy still exists. But we can buy it from Ukraine! What nonsense.
3/2/25:
With all the talk about rare earths these days, it seemed well to remind everyone that there is no shortage of rare earths in America. Instead, the shortage is in the brain power. Wherever you find Thorium, you find rare earths. There's a lot of thorium deposits in America. So all the talk is wrong anyway. Quick update: It should be mentioned that any offer to purchase any such thing from Ukraine is a total gift. One has to wonder why the offer was even made at all. There are two optional explanations: 1) stupidity, or 2) treason. Either one is not good.

With my skin-suit theory, I'll posit a new corollary to it as follows: If it is potentially a very good thing for the USA to have, the leftists will try to destroy it. The point being that America already has it too good, and doesn't need any more good things because the rest of the world doesn't have enough of these good things.
The U.S. has more rare earth minerals than any nation on Earth—an estimated $12 trillion worth.

P.S. Maybe it isn't the "stupidity", but something else. Let's say "malice" instead. That is, the malice of the political left. Could Trump reverse this? Perhaps. But Trump had better deal with the deeper issues, which is this malice of the left. It has no end to it. Something like this, but actually not based upon anything real, but mostly phony grievances conjured up out of thin air.
Trump DOES get it, as shown in video below; but why can he not just deal with them in the way the need to be dealt with?

The Ugly Truth About Avocados (You Won’t Like It)
Author: Dr. Eric Berg DC
Description: Why you should be very careful about avocados and avocado products. They are not what they are being presented as.
Question: Is it my imagination, or does there appear to be a lot of stuff like this out there?
Of course, the best solution is to grow your own stuff, but there is a lot of resistance to this from the regulators. Of course there is! If everybody took care of things themselves, there wouldn't be any need for regulators. Sort of like police who don't take care of public safety. It really isn't the fault of individual police officers (or is it?) You do whatever the boss who writes your paycheck tells you to do ( or not do).
The problem isn't that there isn't enough government. The problem is that government doesn't do what they say that they will do. It is the same problem as with the merchants who sell you phony stuff. DISHONESTY.
What can tragedy tell us?
A terrible story here; one that may illustrate a few truths about human nature. Actually, it is but one of many stories within a larger tragedy that was the aftermath of the Great Galveston Storm of 1900.
Before beginning, there's a feeling among some people that goes something like this: Why mention such a terrible story? Why spend your time reading it, and writing about it? This isn't speculation, because a question like that was put to me before. So that thought is appropriate to mention here. The answer to the question is that the story is about truth... If you want to wear rose-colored glasses, and pretend that everything in the world is peachy-keen, you will run the risk of being unprepared when disaster does indeed strike. And it will. You can count on that.
Others may read it and say those people were to blame for their own fate. But that happened in 1900. They didn't have the warning systems that we have today... You really cannot blame them entirely; but there was a history of storms wiping out coastal cities along the Gulf Coast, prior to this one. More than one town got obliterated when one of those storms hit. The risk of living there had to be well-known before this tragedy occurred.
Yeah, but what do I get out of that story? Just a snippet of it will reveal the point which I am trying to get across. For even in the midst of horror, it is necessary for some folks to step up to the plate, and do what needs to be done. Here's a paraphrasing of the snippet. I won't quote directly from the Texas History book. The story is that something had to be done about the enormous number of dead bodies. The bodies were decomposing rapidly, and the corpses had to be dealt with. There simply was no time to waste. There was difficulty getting men to volunteer for the task of placing the corpses on a barge and sinking it in the midst of the Gulf, far away from shore. The city was under martial law, and a company of men with bayonets had to be summoned to compel a group of men to perform this awful task. For if it was not done, a grave risk of disease could have wiped out the rest of the survivors. Corpses were bloated, and some were already bursting.
But what is the point? The point is that those people could not be reasoned with. Even when it was reasonable to see that it was a necessary task that had to be done IMMEDIATELY, NOBODY WAS WILLING TO DO IT. Force had to be applied. So you can wear your rose-colored glasses all you want. You can deny that people would as a rule, refuse to do what is necessary. But then, you find a story like this.
If you still don't get the point, then I don't know what else I can tell you. Complaining about how awful everything is won't make things better. You have to step up and DO SOMETHING. Hopefully, it is the right thing. For if force is going to be applied, it could easily be for the wrong reasons. In that situation as well, it is necessary to do something. Whatever that action may be, you may have to pay the price for it, and that may be your freedom or your very life.
Count your blessings, not your troubles...
Maybe folks prefer to think of terms of what they don't have, as opposed to what they DO have. Even though the Democrats' commies' policies are to blame for the "unaffordability crisis" as opposed to Trump's solutions, they still have the gall to campaign on it. Yes, and win on it, even though they'll just make things worse again.
There's a lot of folks still suffering because of what the Democrats commies did, but there's no guaranteeing what they might do if things don't improve for them. Therefore, let's not rest on those laurels.

Video : "How The US Magically Creates Money"
Note: This will be the first in the new database of videos. The database will be managed outside of the blogger platform. A lot of the data is encoded into the post. This will aid in cross-referencing it on the database.
Author : Primal Space
Description: youtube video discusses how money supply is made
How to integrate the new coding skills into the blog
According to W3Schools, I must be some kind of whiz. But I don't agree. As of now, the integration of these new-found skills just hasn't translated into much of significance. What little of significance that was indeed accomplished, had to take place outside of their system. But that isn't really relevant, except as a way to explain. So there it is.
Now that the calendar project has concluded, what's next? Integration into my blogs, of course. But how? Well, better organization is a good thing, so let's try that.
It so happens that the one thing I've learned in making the calendar was how to manipulate a small database. But this blog is much bigger. If I could manage this blog outside of blogger, perhaps I could improve it. That's the idea. So the idea is this, construct a database of posts that I want to include in a database. The database can be queried in order to find whatever I cannot find while using blogger.
Yep, blogger cannot help me find some posts. It's happened before on this blog, so likely, it will happen again. Maybe this will help, or maybe not.
I don't know if I'll retro-fit the blog with this database. I'll start small, and then move to bigger things if it works okay.
I'll start with videos. One thing I've noticed is that video embeds tend to get obsoleted a lot. I'd like to start doing a check on embedded videos. If one gets taken out, I can updated it with another.
So, to begin I will start with embedded videos. These embeds will go into a database. That's all for now. Time=12:02 PM local
1:26 PM:
Ok, the posts are in, and the database is created, and now has two videos (posts) in it. What's next? Some python code to access it. That should be easy. Famous last words? Nope. The single-machine offline is very predictable. That thing they got over at W3Schools isn't.

Jingle Bell Rock
Christmas Eve already?!? It snuck up on me, as usual.
Lighten up the mood, a little, I guess. Plenty of time for the rough stuff, if it comes.
This tune reminds me of a different time in the past. It was written in the late fifties. It still got airplay in the sixties, which is a time I'm remembering. Things were NOT perfect back then either, but somehow the bad stuff isn't remembered. Just nice stuff. Funny how memories work, eh?
Tuesday, December 23, 2025
Frame this one, because it is important
Bill Whittle's "Tribes". On pjmedia...
There will come "A Time for Choosing", and if that may seem familiar, it certainly is. It is Ronald Reagan's famous
speech. I draw some ideas from that, and a few more from Whittle's essay.
Bill Whittle's piece came out after the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Shucks, I thought it came out after 9-11. This is how one's memories can trick you over time. The remarkable thing about that time is that President George W. Bush's reaction to the Democrats was rather pitiful.
Imo, it is important enough of an essay to memorialize it, because we are in a time in which
it will become necessary to choose sides in the Culture War.
"The Culture War", as Pat Buchanan coined it in 1992, is a thing, whether or not you acknowledge it.
You are going to have to choose sides in that, because the outcome of that war is how the future will enfold. One side or the other
will win this war. The denial of its existence is a guarantee of defeat.
There are those who would rather do anything other than to confront the evil, and then there
are the "sheep dogs", who will confront the "wolf". The left is the "wolf". You have to choose to
be just another one of the sheep, who do nothing but complain, but the wolf won't hear the complaints,
but will feed upon the sheep without mercy. Such is the future ahead of us if we fail.
I don't necessarily agree with everything that Whittle says. In particular, about having to
choose to be a sheep-dog. In times of war, all able-bodied men were called upon to defend the country. In
that case, the choice is either to run off to "safety", or join the fight.
Once again, the fight is already upon us. Either we rise to meet the threat, or we WILL be
subjugated. Denial is not an option, here.
Scene from the film "Witness": The Amish Way v. John Book's way
How accurate is this depiction of the Amish?
There are folks who would much prefer the Amish way. The Amish way will keep the peace. However, will it keep your freedom?
Let's dissect this scene. The Amish were getting harassed by a few thugs, who thought it funny to make fun of, and abuse people who were fundamentally passive and non-violent. The Amish Way was to do nothing about the harassment. But John Book, being a Philadelphia detective, was accustomed to using violence when he thought it necessary.
So, when John Book was asked to stand down, because it wasn't the Amish way, he refused. Book went over to the guy, who proceeded to act in a provocative way towards someone who he took to be non-violent. Instead of being non-violent, he got a punch in the nose. That was John Book's way. It is easily contrasted here in this scene.
There are many folks who think the Amish way is the better way. But what do YOU think?
Let's take a situation in which a thug is harassing an elderly person, who cannot fight back. This is a scene that you'll see repeated often these days. It happens all the time in the "blue" cities. The police do nothing. But what happens to the helpless ones? Aren't the police supposed to protect the helpless? Well, in blue cities, it doesn't happen anymore.
In my opinion, I'm more in line with Book's way, than the Amish way. People who will abuse the helpless need an ass kicking. That's plain and simple common-sense. How else are you going to protect the innocent, but to intervene forcefully when something wrong is occuring? If the police won't do it, then somebody else MUST.
The thug faction, particularly in the Democrat commie party, is acting this way towards the helpless. Yet, they have the gall to call you violent if you oppose them. Bullshit.
The Democrats, whether they know it or not, are acting EXACTLY the way the Nazis and Communists did in Europe prior to WW II, in Germany. You see, that is what the Amish type fear. They seem to believe that if you wish it all to go away, then it will. But the only way to stop Hitler was to kill him. The only way to stop the commies, was to be armed to the teeth, and be prepared to fight them on their own terms AT ANY TIME.
The so-called "free" world won the Cold War, only to the lose the peace. The Amish faction has taken hold, and is demanded of the citizenry to be still, and take the abuse from the political left. So, we "won" the Cold War only to surrender to the left in order to keep the peace with them? Screw that!
The commies want your guns so that they can abuse "WE THE PEOPLE" at their leisure. I sure hope that there are enough patriots who can see through this shell game, and call it out. If need be, to kick their asses once and for all. If there isn't, we will be subjugated by them. There IS NO OTHER WAY. The Amish way will not result in keeping our freedom. It will invariably lead to the loss of our freedom. You can take that to the bank. It is what the commies tried to do during the Cold War, and they are at it again.

Well, it is not like me to let things go by without having something to say about it.But it is hard sometimes. So this will be a response, but not to name names or anything like that.
Is it really bad for someone to make a stand when a stand is absolutely necessary? It seems to me that there are some folks out there who think it is naughty to stand up for yourself. I cannot even begin to understand how someone could come to that opinion.
I really have to wonder about such a person, when such weakness can be an open invitation to aggression from those who are so inclined. In the case, that I will not mention, it seems that weakness is being made out to be a virtue. This is a perversion, which is a vice.
I know all this sounds pretty oblique, but you really cannot make a virtue out of a vice. A weak response to a in-civil person will not change any attitudes, but likely only to harden them against the weak. In short, you must stand up to the bully, not give in to him.
Any attempt to sugar coat cowardice is a vice in itself.
Starship Update (What about it) 2 days ago, today is 12/22/25
Not exactly "new" News, eh?
Comment:
Basically, Felix is saying that Ship 39 is ready for testing. Booster 19 is nearly ready. By today, it could be ready. That's because the "news" is 2 days old. Events move fast these days, and you've got to be fast too, in order to keep it.
Posting is lite recently
Well, there's not much to discuss lately. Maybe football. But who cares about that? Obviously, I do. But will that get eyeballs on this blog? Probably not. But there's nothing else.
Since I spend most of my NFL time on the Texans, that narrows it down even further. The three hottest teams in the AFC put their winning streaks on the line, and two of them kept their streaks alive. The Jags and the Texans are in the same division though. Bad break for the Texans. I was hoping the Broncos could keep THEIR winning streak going, but they fell to the Jags, who kept their winning streak alive instead.
The Jags now have the inside lane towards the division championship. Even if the Texans win their last two games, and go 12-5 for the year, it may not be enough to win the division if the Jags win their last two. But those games should be relatively easy for the Jags, and more difficult for the Texans.
A long way down in the seeding that could be. The Texans could end up as the 7th seed, which means no home games in the playoffs.
The Broncos really screwed the Texans by losing that game. The Broncos could afford to lose, but the Jags could not.
Now that I've bored the crap out of everyone, I'll shut up for now. Time to do other stuff.

Bannon still thinks 2026 is winnable
12/21/25:
Here's the piece I saw on Revolver "Here’s why Bannon is ‘white pilled’ on 2026 midterms…"
When it comes to politics, how do you even know? You've got polls, but polls can be manipulated. Once upon a time, it seemed like elections could tell you something, but how can you tell anymore? The political left has managed to make the ballot box meaningless as all get out. How can you know anything about the public will when so much is being done to obscure it?
The legacy news media? Forget it. The legacy news media is controlled by a small number of corporations. They'll tell you only what they want you to know. Chances are, what you hear from the talking heads is just what somebody wants you to believe, and has little to do with the truth.
Politicians? Bureaucrats? Academia? None of these sources seem trustworthy, either. Well, it seems we are like the former Soviet Union. A dissident there once said to trust only your own crooked eye. What a world. If America is really any different from that place, I'm an astronaut.
Here's the piece I saw on Revolver "Here’s why Bannon is ‘white pilled’ on 2026 midterms…"
Comment:
He seems to be both upbeat and downbeat at the same time. How can that be?
His analysis about the old-guard GOP is dead on target, however. If the old-guard get their way, the 2026 mid-terms will be a disaster.
Many things to keep in mind about, which seem to have been forgotten already.
1) The lack of convictions from Pam Bondi as AG. But remember how Trump nominated Gaetz, and his nomination was shot down? Who did that? Was it not the old Guard GOP who did that?
2) The fact is that Trump has to work with what he's got to work with. On the Democrat side, there are those who want to jail him, and for no other reason than to oppose them; impeach him, even though he didn't do anything that the Democrats said he did; and 3) when the Democrats try to prove anything, they have no evidence because they IS NO EVIDENCE.
3) The old-Guard GOP want do not want to govern, they only want to keep the opposition under control. So to reward them for their disloyalty to the people who elected them, this would be a grave error on the part of true blue MAGA. It would be an error because it's not Trump to blame, but the old-Guard GOP, who never wanted him, never supported him, and only tolerated him because the base DID. In summary, he's dealing with FAKE everything, which is all around him. MTG is just a part of the fake support he has. She could not have been serious about MAGA, and do what she did. She is FAKE. She was only interested in what it could do for her, and now that it hasn't she has flipped.
Bannon says there needs to be a lot of work. Unfortunately, there is little time left. We are getting rope-a-doped. That was the strategy that Muhammad Ali used in his fights. If you get the other guy to punch himself out, he can be beaten. The ones doing the rope-a-dope on us are the Democrats AND the old Guard GOP. Why else play into the Democrat hands by refusing to do the things that will insure victory? The old Guard GOP continues to do this time-and-again. They play loyal, but they deliver NOTHING. Rope-a-dope.
The old Guard must get in line, or be shown the door. End the filibuster, and pass the Trump agenda, and watch it work. But they won't. So MAGA must do what we must, or all will be lost. The old Guard must go.
The voters must be persuaded to buy-in on MAGA, because the old Guard will CASH US OUT. It will time to eat bugs, because that the kind of thing that we will forced into. Like the phony assed COVID JAB, the lockdowns, and riots. All of this will be coming to a place near you, because that is what we will be getting from the Dems commies. The old Guard MUST know this, but they do NOTHING.
