Student debt as an example of a phenomenon

 



The recent drone attack may tie into this

 



Drones can deliver things besides bombs

Interesting thing that Sundance says is that people aren't much interested in the truth. It does appear to be the case, does it not? If you advocate for the truth, you will be a lonely and tragic figure, I suspect. People may say that they want the truth, but their actions say otherwise.


Why Musk seems to be backing off a bit

 

Another poll besides the one mentioned below, suggests that Musk is skating on some thin ice with the public. Musk seems to have made a blunder.


Only 8% support Musk in Musk v Trump spat.

Read the riot act to the GOP

6/6/25:

So Elon Musk wants a new party. The old party isn't working out so well anymore, I suppose. Come to think of it, when did it ever work out at all?

With all his money, he could make a big splash. He thinks he provided the margin of victory for Trump in 2024. So this new party thing is a serious threat, I would think. But what would he accomplish with it? He would just be a spoiler, and turn the government back over to the Democrats.

Or he could work the system, and get involved in the primaries. Incidentally, his Twitter war with Trump isn't the ticket. He needs to keep the MAGA folk on board, or he will really not accomplish much.

 If they won't support us, we should not support them ever again.

What would replace them?  A new party.

I've written of this before, for all the good it has done.

Matrix is breaking down; Nebuchanezzar needs somebody to tell him what's going on

 

The ship's name in that movie was called the King's name in the Bible. I didn't think of it until now. Dang, wtf.

Good.











The Democrats are hanging themselves. Don't take away their rope.

Drones did this?

6/4/25:

 

Russia is going to retaliate. What would anyone expect? Anything else may be seen as weakness. Here's a thought I had recently. The only way this ends is for one of these leaders to die. Putin isn't going to give up, because if he does, he is conceding defeat. Only victory is possible for him to survive. Anything less will be catastrophe for him. I'm thinking that Zelensky cannot leave office, because as soon as he does, he will be taken out. Zelensky is a dead man. Perhaps it would've been better if Trump had not gotten involved.

 

6/3/25:

 

Somewhere on the web, which isn't being linked here, there was a mention that this tactic isn't new. There is a possibility, in the case of a major war, that there may be plenty of these nasty tricks lurking out there ready to be put into service. You could see some serious weapons being put into these containers.

 

As soon as that happens, international trade is finished until the duration, and maybe for good.

 

For how can anybody trust these things anymore when they could be full of weapons? Every shipping container will have to be vouched for. Shipping will be reduced to a standstill. International trade depends upon these things.

 

6/2/25:

 

It means that Russia can't defend themselves against it. I'm a bit surprised about that, to tell you the truth. These things wouldn't be that hard to shoot down. A shotgun blast could take one out.

This means something...

This will be a big upgrade

 

My travels took me to Corpus Christi on a regular basis. But I'm retired now. I was unaware of this project, but as I review it, I think it is a big upgrade on access to the city. There will be an interstate all the way to Corpus Christi from Houston that didn't exist before. Quite a difference.


The bridge is just across the way from downtown Corpus. From Houston, you'd cross over and be in downtown Corpus almost as soon as you cross the bridge.



If you get the feeling you can't win, see this

 Does it make you feel better?   No, then lighten up!

In demanding an investigation by SpaceX into the Starship failure on this week's test flight, the FAA puffs up its chest and pounds it like a chimpanzee

Behind the Black blog

Comment:

There's this sense of frustration building up. Even though Trump won an undisputed victory, got a trifecta with control of Congress, there doesn't appear to be an end to the nonsense coming from the left. With respect to SpaceX and the FAA, I pretty much expected a mishap investigation. The question is how much of a delay will there be? I thought these delays were going to be addressed, but are they really? The ninth flight came nearly 3 months after the eighth. There's talk about the next flight in the middle of the month, yet they aren't really that close to another launch. If flight 10 comes before the end of the month, count me surprised.
