Installing an AI agent
Whoa, Nellie! I am not endorsing any AI agent here. As usual, I am willing to TRY it out sometime. As of this time, the following AI installation has not been attempted by yours truly.
It is worth considering if Braxman thinks it's okay. But I haven't gotten to the point where I'll try it.
Maybe I won't try it at all. As for now, it will be kept here for reference purposes in case I DO decide to try it.
Waterloo --- Stonewall Jackson
Senator "Cornball" met his political Waterloo... "Every puppy has its day". "Democracy" means that the bums get thrown out, and meet their political Waterloo. It does seem that for all their love for "Democracy", the Dems don't like to ever meet theirs. Nobody does, but the Dems pay only lip service to "Democracy". Losing only makes them mad. Then they'll get worse, not better. You'd think that they'd learn, but they only get worse. "Cornball" was almost as bad as the Dems, but not by much. Perhaps he won't try to gain revenge for his loss.
Jon Matonis on Bitcoin and crypto-currencies
5/31/26:
Bitcoin didn't seem like a durable thing. A small investment back then may have appreciated a lot, so I may have missed an opportunity. What problem does Bitcoin (crypto) solve? Maybe the same ones that paper currency does. But it has the same problems that paper currency has. Perhaps even more problems. Security would seem to be a problem with crypto. I don't trust it.

GoldMoney is a gold vault operation, for want of a better term. This is their communication, which is amongst the ways in which they communicate with the world.
You can buy and sell gold there, with what they call gold grams, which represent 1 gram of gold. In comparison to an ounce, it takes about 30 grams to equal an ounce. GoldMoney's vault is located in the Channel Island of Jersey, near England, if memory serves. I traded with them there, on the internet, in 2007. I stopped fairly quickly that year when the US government started interfering, to my displeasure.
My contribution to the thoughts on this matter on the video is that since BitCoin is peer-to-peer, and a value is needed to establish what a BitCoin is actually is worth, then all is needed is some agreement amongst the BitCoin community as what that value of a BitCoin actually is. Now, if BitCoin is pegged amongst the community that it is worth so many gold grams, then you have achieved an objective value of a BitCoin, in my opinion.
Real currencies are set up by governments. A government is a group of people who exert authority and operate according to some kind of mutual agreement amongst them. In comparison, you would need to have a way to police a system, amongst the participants in that system. Now, a group of people can set this up and run it according to a charter they agreed upon. It can govern the system.
The video doesn't cover this, by the way. It is my own thought on the matter.
Anyway, here's the video

Whine industrial complex
5/31/26:
If Trump falls short for some folks, he hasn't for me. If you wish define him as a disappointment, you have failed to convince moi. I'll decide that for myself.
5/10/18:
Remember George Will? He is now firmly in the camp of the Never Trumpers. Not only that, he has lost his love for veep Mike Pence, who doesn't seem to be getting their message.
There are those who have said that the GOP would rather lose elections, as opposed to having their gigs threatened.
Most of the gigs, if not all of them, are of the variety of professional complaining. I now hereby dub this phenomenon as the Whine Industrial Complex. The Never Trumpers fit into this category. They have raised it up to a fine art.
What makes a whiner? A person who doesn't actually do anything can be a whiner. You see, a whiner feels powerless, but perfect. They love to consider themselves above it all, and they just can't let their own hands to get dirty, or they won't be clean anymore.
As for yours truly, I have distanced myself from the Whine Industrial Complex by taking the money out of the Whine. No money will be accepted here, but I will bitch endlessly about everything, which seems fine with me. If it ever gets more serious around this lame ass society of ours, I will be ready, willing, and able to pitch in what I can. That includes opening up enough cans of Whoop-Ass to do the job that is desperately needed.
If it also means that I will get "my hands dirty" by supporting the likes of Donald Trump, then let it be so. I prefer some action, even if it means that I might get a little dirty and mussed up before it is all over.
The Whiners will never do anything about the cultural rot around us, except complain. They will ratify the left in the high-jacking of America, and toppling it in the way the 9/11 terrorists did.

Mike Steger Recaps Current State of "Fortress America" - President Trump's American Manufacturing Surge
Conservative Treehouse
This new economic policy ( or should I say "old", since it is the policy of Alexander Hamilton ) to rebuild American manufacturing, should be continued. If the Democrats return to power, they will undo all of this, and the gains will vanish. Indeed, the whole globalist project is to reduce the American Experiment to nothing.
Hasn't the Globalist Gambit been exactly that? A "gambit" is the sacrifice of an important piece in order to get a positional advantage in the game of chess. As in chess, the Globalists are sacrificing American economic power in exchange for a political victory. The results of their victory will likely mean communism and/or Islamic extremism.
Globalism is no friend to America. It is inherently against America First, and the sooner the public understands it this way, the better.
I have never been a supporter of free trade uber alles. This opinion of mine precedes Trump by decades. Trump is merely following the policy that I favored for the longest time. I will not be swayed by all of this other crap. Lose to this gambit, and you lose it all.

Bongino goes after Massey
You t-t-t-tell him kid. I st-st-st-stutter.
Just a reminder that this fraudulent piece of shit never called me a single time when I was working overtime on this case, and for transparency. Not once did I hear from this fraud about the case. When I saw him at main Justice he never even mentioned it.

Marcus House's weekly video
Discussion of the big explosion of the New Glenn rocket in Florida. More Starship news, and other space news.
As for the explosion, it would seem odd that Blue Origin would fuel up the upper stage for a static fire of the first stage. What purpose does it do to have fuel in the upper stage when it cannot be tested?
How does Blue Origin static fire test their upper stage anyway? SpaceX has a dedicated facility at Massey's that does that test. Does Blue Origin have something like that?
