The jab was never a vaccine, and it shouldn't be a revelation that it wasn't.

For the upteenth time, the "vaccine" wasn't a vaccine. Toldja.

Senator Ron Johnson is correct — COVID-19 mRNA "vaccines" are NOT vaccines.

They are synthetic gene-transfer platforms that hijack vital organs to mass-produce lethal, non-human proteins.

I bitched and bitched and bitched about it at the time. The vaccine was NEVER a vaccine and NEVER should have been called one. But it was. Now it is a revelation to some that it wasn't?

No wonder this country is so fouled up. The obvious thing could bite them on the ass, and they'd say it was Trump. They'd ALMOST be right, as Trump had something to do with the development of the vaccine. At least he didn't MANDATE it, because the commies stole the damned election.

A very strong "no" with regard to immigration

Here's another one I want to pay more attention to: Crowder.



Open borders people are stupid. There's no nice way of putting it. If you have anything at all, it will be taken from you if you keep up with this nonsense. There will be no more country, and everything you take for granted will be off the table. That includes your property rights. Unlimited immigration in favor of socialism and communism will put the hurt on you at some point in the future. Please stop this stupidity.

If it isn't a war, then what is it?

There is a phenomenon here, no doubt.  There are some who disagree with what is happening to our culture.   But using the word "war" in order to describe it , is inaccurate.

If you are going to be a wordsmith, then use words correctly.

Consequently, what is this phenomenon?

I have a few suggestions.  One is coup.  Another that might be considered is a mugging.  A third that might be more evocative, and yes, descriptive ---- RAPE.

Yep.  You can see how a RAPE would describe it.  Violence or threat of violence in order to dominate and force to submit to what would not be done willingly.

If you wanted an emotional response to your words, then try using the word --  RAPE --- in order to describe it.  It is utterly one sided, and it can become brutal.  This would be the case regardless if you said something in protest to it or not.





EEEEEE!   Aw.   Don't make a fuss.  Just sit back and enjoy it.  Hmmm?

Microsoft sucks

5/4/26:

In the process of an upgrade. More geeking out, as I've moved on to a new Raspberry Pi machine. I've paired it with a tiny screen, though. It is only 7.1 inch diagonal, and reading it is not easy.

The change was made because there was a blank screen from the older machine. For some reason, the monitor would no longer display. It was acting like there was a loose connection somewhere, so I just got a new machine. More than one reason for a new machine. The old one was a minimalist system. This one has more memory, and therefore more power. We'll see.

It turns out that the old machine still works. There's also a tiny screen for it too. So now I have two Raspberry Pi machines.

All of this in order to get away from Microsoft.

3/20/26:

Microsoft just bricked the machine in this video. He fixes the problem, and it tries to do it again! Avoid Microsoft...



11/23/25:

A problem has arisen.

There may be some who would think that I am being too hasty in my judgement. Let me state what has happened. Then we'll go from there.

I have two computers. One of them is a netbook, the other is this one--a raspberry pi. Linux is preferred because Microsoft has gone rogue, as far as I'm concerned. They are WAY too nosy with their data collection. It's over the top, and so I switched to Linux in the last several months. Since that switch, I've had Linux go out on me three times. The first two times, I figured that it was Linux to blame, but this time, it HAS to be Microsoft.

The bios was messed with. Who could do that but Microsoft? Microsoft shares the netbook with Linux. Linux isn't on the main drive, though. However, when you boot up, some of the boot code is accessible to Microsoft. Well, the bios won't load up the Linux now, and redirects you back to Microsoft.

Could some hacker do this? Maybe. What makes me suspicious in this case is something I saw on a YouTube that says Microsoft tries to bump off any Linux installations if there are operating on the same machine. When I saw this, I realized that somehow the netbook allows the possibility of interference by our good, good friends--Microsoft. Anybody, all three failures could very well have been Microsoft refusing to play nice with Linux.

If Microsoft is innocent here, then it was hackers. But why would hacker direct me back to Microsoft? Only if the hacker is with Microsoft, and Microsoft is actually the hacker. Or they paying hackers to sabotage Linux installations.

At this point, the damage is minimal. I don't know how to recover from this, but I might be able to. Not sure what I need to do though. It is a pain in the ass.

The Big Tech companies, like Microsoft, are out of control. They need to be reined in. This ought to be an anti-trust issue right here. They got no business interfering with people's computers. They don't own this damned machine. They didn't give it to me. It isn't their property. I'M NOT THEIR PROPERTY EITHER.

 

5 Signs of a Radical Change in U.S. Politics

5/3/26:

The attention may be on Trump now, but Obama was POTUS when this post was written. The left may only be interested in political situations that run against them. If anything is radicalized, it is the Democrat party. Obama associated with communists, after all. Nazis were defeated decades ago.

6/26/12:

The Atlantic

This seemed like pure projection to me, but as the Supreme Court has shown, the projection and denial is going all round.

I read this yesterday, and Glenn Reynolds posted his reactions to this piece.  One reaction was to be "unimpressed".

The major aspect of projection is that it denies something that is within oneself.

Plain denial is also the refusal to see what is there.

How can conservative justices support Obama's usurpation of the Constitution?  Well, it might well have started a long time ago.  Maybe the Bush-Gore election controversy, where this Atlantic piece picks up on, is just one strand in a long strand that is coming unraveled.  It looks like The Atlantic's piece was projection, and the conservative/libertarian response is just plain old denial.

Obama won't follow the law, which he is bound to do under the constitution.  That's the coup.  It is ongoing, but evidently, nobody at the highest levels seems to get it.

I followed the 2000 election controversy pretty closely.  No way Gore could win that one, but if the Supreme Court hadn't stepped in, it was going to have to go the Congress.  In such a case as that, the House picks the winner, and the Senate picks the Veep.  That meant Joe Lieberman would have been veep instead of Cheney.  The House was Republican, so there's no way Gore could win the presidency that way.

The Supreme Court just stopped the counting which could have gone on past the "safe harbor" deadline, which was very close at hand at the time of their decision.  The counting wasn't going to get done in time to get in before the safe harbor deadline, which would have thrown it into the House- by law.  The Republicans controlled the House, (as Gore must have known), but the Senate was 50-50.  Gore would have broken the tie in favor of Lieberman, weakening the incoming administration.

The Supreme Court then may have acted politically, but at least they were following the election law.  They don't seem to be very interested in doing that anymore.

As for the rest of the article, it is pretty much the standard political fare.  The author's major rhetorical thrust was the Bush v Gore decision was a type of long running coup, but it was Gore who was trying to steal the Vice Presidency if he couldn't get the Presidency itself.  That's my take.

The main point to me is the total breakdown in authority that is outlined in the Constitution.  There are three co-equal branches, but at the moment, the only branch that seems to matter is the Presidency.  That looks like dictatorship.   The President must follow the law, or what good is the Constitution anymore?  Why have a Congress pass a law that the President won't enforce?  Why have the Supreme Court decide the controversy, if the President decides to ignore the part of the decision that he doesn't like?

At what point will this President be restrained?  If he gets re-elected, what can stop him?

Yeah, and once Nixon was shoved out of the way, the far left (commies) began taking over the Democrat Party. We're seeing now what that leads too. Iran fell in 1979. The trouble we are having in Iran was largely because of the betrayal in Vietnam. All of this thanks to commies.

Zohran Mamdani Humiliated as Billionaire Responds to His Threat

The Seattle mayor laughed about rich moving out because of wealth taxes and such. Blue cities and states are pushing out all their wealthy folks only to impoverish themselves. The tax base is decreased, and their coffers won't be so easily filled. Not really smart to laugh that off.

Collyfornia raised 100 billion dollars in wealth taxes only to see 1 trillion dollars of wealth escape to other states that don't punish success. Not only is it dumb and counter-productive, but it doesn't even raise money.

When the Seattle mayor laughed, the audience hooted and hollered. Wonder if they'll keep hooting and hollering when they go broke. Their government jobs will go bye-bye if the taxes cannot pay their salaries and benefits.

Comey indictment

A bit of editorializing here...

A line has to be drawn somewhere. Sure, there's the 1st Amendment. Free speech. All of that is welcomed in a free society.

But there's a point where things are going too far. Where do you draw the line?

There's a law against threatening the President. That's the law.

So you've got this individual, Comey, who does this 86 thing. Comey was formerly a high ranking member of the government. In such a position, one should expect RESPONSIBLE conduct. The use of this term "86" was irresponsible. The leadership is expected to conduct itself responsibly, but if this is acceptable, then where does it lead?

Things are getting a bit out of hand. It needs to be reined in.

Comey declares he's innocent. Really? With all this hyper language out there, one would think that the idea was to burn down the whole country. You've got the Minority Leader saying things like "maximum warfare". Maximum warfare??? Is that what it has come to?

Yes, and Trump shares a bit of guilt on this. Everybody needs to take a chill pill.

A bit of urban lingo there.  It is also a pun, because the word sounds like "pontificate", which has a somewhat different meaning.

Winning the War, and Concluding the Peace

At the conclusion of World War Eleven ( the name of that war according to Minnesota Congress-woman Ilhan Omar ), a certain Lt. Colonel refused to accept defeat. He remains defiant until the facts on the ground were explained to him by none other than General Patton.

That's how the video goes, anyway. Perhaps such did take place. But if it did, it is doubtful that there weren't any interpreters present as well. This video makes it look like everyone understood each other without the need of interpreters.

Otherwise, the parallel with current times is instructive. Iran has been beaten. But they are scrambling for a way to maintain their "arrogance".

The facts on the ground in Iran do not support their position.

There's a movie that can be viewed on Tubi ( I think ). It is about Japan's behavior directly after the surrender. Many of them refuse to accept their defeat, while maintaining their arrogant poses. The link refers to the movie "Emperor", with Tommy Lee Jones playing the role of General Douglas MacArthur. The movie's drama showed the need to get cooperation from the Japanese, but if the Japanese refused to accept their defeat even after surrender, the country could be reduced to utter ruin. The Japanese Emperor had to intervene and accept a visit with MacArthur in order to move forward from the war towards peace and reconstruction.

Does Iran have to be utterly destroyed? Only if their leaders refuse to accept defeat. The facts on the ground say that America can reduce Iran to utter destruction, and that Iran cannot stop it. So we'll see if that is the course that the Iranians intend to take.  They will have no one other than themselves to blame if that occurs.

Generational disconnect is no accident

 

Comment:

What you really have is a Marxist plan to overthrow the USA. It has been percolating through the society for a century. It is a Marxist plan to do all the things that the young generation is suffering through.

The young generation is the hammer through which the Marxists can smash the American system. If they are successful at this, as it appears that they have had a lot more success at this than they should've, then all Americans will lose EVERYTHING. The schools just dumb everybody down, and the Marxist media just treats everyone as mushrooms. (keep you in the dark and feed you bullshit)

They'll just lie and lie and lie through their teeth, and not tell you the real story. This is the real story. The real story was to weaken America through the generations until there is no strength left, when the Marxists can sweep into power and rule over all mankind. Trouble is that Marxism isn't good for anybody but the Marxists. They don't give a rat's ass about anything but their own rotten selves. The problem is in getting people's head out of their own asses and see what is really going on. You'll never get that through the so-called educational system, nor the bullshit media complex.

The video discusses a lot of these issues with feminism and all the other rotgut leftist claptrap being fed to the young.

Any connection between these assassination attempts and the English Royal Visit this week?

This may take some study to understand, but I think I can get at least some of it.

There was another post like this one that can be reviewed. The war is really about reestablishing the "American System" that Lincoln and McKinley set up.

I recall from the History books, that Lincoln had his hands full with the Brits, in order to keep them out of the Civil War. If the Brits had lined up with the Confederates, America would've been finished. History may be repeating itself.

This post is about the attempted assassination, and the usual thing with the commies of pretending not to know anything about anything. Listening to them, you'd be tempted to reach the conclusion that they are perfect little angels incapable of harming a fly. But we all know better, do we not?

The Yardbirds - Shapes of Things (1966)

4/26/23:

Anyone ever heard of the saying that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds? All liberalism does, and all that totalitarians do is to take advantage of the weaknesses of little people. That may sound elitist. But I'm not elitist. I have weaknesses too. Yes, and these kind of people have tried and will try to take advantage of my own weaknesses. Unfortunately, that is the way of the world.

update of 5.1.16 post

This song came to mind again this morning, and I thought I'd make a post about it. Turns out that I made one previously. So it is only an update.

There are multiple instances of the song that are posted on Youtube. The one I saw is not this one here. On the other, there are some comments that I noted. The comments are what I want to discuss.

The comment at the top of the list appears to be from someone who is much younger than I am. I grew up when this song was being played on the radio as brand new. It was first recorded about 66 or 67. Well, the comment was about how world was being destroyed, and how the song related to that. I have to laugh...

Most of my childhood was spent in Houston, and the part that wasn't, was in San Antonio. Houston is an industrial town, and there's pollution there. But it was far worse in the sixties than it was when I left town in 2016. It is almost as if the younger generation has discovered pollution or something. We were all very aware of it, I assure anyone who wasn't around back then. Maybe the comment was referring to the thing called "climate change".

Anyone who has read much of this blog knows what I think of climate change. I'll add some more to it, now. Climate alarmism is the same as COVID alarmism. Alarmism is a favorite tactic of useless politicians. Actually, they are worse than useless. People in the days of old had a healthy skepticism of politicians. Not so much these days. All these politicans have to do is to cry wolf, and people run for the hills. It would appear that folks need to remember the story of the boy who cried wolf. Yet, it is the younger generation who seem to need to hear that story the most.

My generation was hoodwinked into alarmism as well. The young are the most succeptible to this kind of thing. Their lives are in front of them, and they haven't much experience. Once they've been around awhile, they may catch on to these kind of shams. Unfortunately, almost everybody fell for the COVID scam.

The song appear to question the idea of material progress. Material progress was highly valued up till the sixties, but obviously that has changed. What has also changed is that material progress has slowed down--- a lot. It has taken over 50 years to get back to the moon, even if Elon Musk's Starship succeeds. Maybe China will get there. Back in the sixties, the Chinese got around on bicycles. We had our muscle cars. There's a message in there, if you bother to look for one.

Don't misunderstand. I'm not excusing pollution. Nor even the production of so-called greenhouse gasses ( assuming that these gasses actually cause global warming, which I doubt.) The thing I'm criticizing here is the total lack of intellectual curiousity that has become rampant in this society. If there was such, there would be less opportunity for all of the alarmism that runs rampant, and it is this alarmism that is greater thing to worry about than the things the politicians love to scare people about.

Heard this on the road this morning.  I like this song.

John Cornyn amnesty ad is real

This is the kind of two-faced stuff so typical of Establishment RINOS. He is running strong pro-Trump, but he is for amnesty. The two things do not go together. Different audiences, different messages. In other words, bullshit.

By the way, even though I do write about politics, I don't like it. In fact, I friggin' HATE it. But it is necessary. How else can you run the country?

Yes, this Senator Cornyn pro-amnesty ad is real.

We found in on YouTube & it was several hours before Cornyn’s team made the video private.

No amnesty!

"The Graduate" and the cougar phenomenon

This from the AI. I guess if it is from AI, there's no lies in it. I blush as I write this.... Anyway, here's some commentary upon the subject from moi. As usual, you can consider me full of sh.... too. But I wouldn't try to deceive. Nah, not me. The AI...

 

The 1967 film The Graduate is frequently cited as a cultural precursor to the modern "cougar" phenomenon, featuring a married mother who pursues and seduces a much younger man (21-year-old Benjamin Braddock). While the film popularized the theme of an older woman dating a younger man, the specific slang term cougar did not originate until later, with its first known print appearance on the Canadian dating website Cougardate.com possibly as early as 1999.

Although The Graduate established the narrative of an older woman actively chasing a younger man, sociological research challenges the extent of this trend in real life. Studies, such as a 2010 British psychological study published in Evolution and Human Behavior, have suggested that the "cougar phenomenon" is largely a myth or rare occurrence, with most men and women continuing to follow traditional gender roles where men prefer younger partners and women prefer older, established partners. Additionally, academic research by Milaine Alarie indicates that contrary to the aggressive seductress archetype seen in films like The Graduate, many women in age-hypogamous relationships do not depict themselves as the primary pursuers.

With respect to the "cougar" phenomenon, and the AI supplied info, I'll have to call "bullshit" on that one.

Why do you suppose that the AI is trying to treat this as a non-phenomenon? Of course it happens.

This, like a lot of other things, is just another example of the phenomenon ( in my opinion) of keeping something hidden, which actually exists. Perhaps not exactly in the movie way, but it is definitely something out there. Trust me on that one.

Here's another thought. The article seems to be discussing or denying that any such phenomenon as "cougar" exists, while basing it upon "studies". In my opinion, the "studies" may not have discussed this with MEN in order to see if anything like that happened with the men. Maybe the men would talk, and maybe they wouldn't. That's up to the dude involved. Dudes and dudettes aren't necessarily going to tell the truth about this stuff, lol.

What I'm saying is that you can take this "study" with a grain of salt. Women are probably more likely to believe the "study", because I think women are more gullible on average. Otherwise, they wouldn't be liberals.

Comment:

By golly,  I wrote about this movie before.

Update a bit later:

This looks just like the graphic of the 60's movie "The Graduate". The movie was about a cougar who seduced a young man, and how it got rather zany before the movie was over

Bongino mentions Boreing

Bongino mentioned Jeremy Boreing, and the name seemed familiar. A lookup on the olde Wikipedia shows that Boreing was part of the Declaration Entertainment thing I was involved with awhile back.

The same guy was mentioned, and he had a very interesting discussion on this cock-eyed leftist idea ("social murder") going around. Indeed, that's what Bongino spent a lot of time on in his most recent show.

Bongino is a very interesting guy. I'd recommend his show highly. That's if you want to get your head out of your ass. Seems like there's way too many people out there like that these days.

Oops! I must be channeling my inner no more mr nice guy. Excuse the hell outta me!

Who the hell is "Greg"?

In order to locate my blog using a search, I encountered this AI analysis of this here blog. The first one, awhile back, of these analyses -- amused me. This latest one has me a bit concerned.

It's "analysis" seems to say that this blog is like Alice Cooper's "No More Mr. Nice Guy", when this "analysis" feels to me like 3 Dog Night's "Mama Told Me Not To Come".

One thing I should be a bit more careful about. I'm merely offering my opinions of the scene. I'm not claiming to be an expert on anything that I'm writing about. From time-to-time, I realize it might get to be a bit too much, and to tone it down it a bit.

So, "who" is this person---meaning me. I've written many posts about myself, so it really shouldn't be a mystery. If it appears that way, it is because I do intend to keep my privacy within the constraints of how much of that is even possible anymore. Whoever is smart enough to do an accurate "analysis" of this blog would certainly have enough chops to know who I am.

I DO know a little about computers. I would definitely counsel EVERYBODY to be careful about these blasted things because they could become troublesome, and especially these days with AI. AI may not necessarily be a good thing---Know what I mean, Vern?

Here's a quote of said "analysis".

The Boots and Oil blog is a personal political commentary site authored by an individual named Greg. The blog primarily focuses on US politics and current events, featuring curated social media clips, news articles, and videos, all accompanied by the author's own critical, often satirical, observations.

Key themes and topics covered on the blog include:

Sharp political criticism of figures from both major parties, with frequent posts targeting Kamala Harris, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and the "Establishment GOP."

Election integrity and legal issues, such as critiques of Jack Smith's appointment as special counsel and discussions on proof-of-citizenship voting laws.

Media and censorship, with commentary on government-funded censorship and the influence of foreign propaganda. International affairs, including US involvement in Ukraine and relations with China. Conservative and libertarian perspectives, often expressing skepticism toward government overreach and a strong defense of constitutional rights.

The blog is organized with labels like "Major Topic --- Politics" and "Sundry Topics --- News and Current Events," and it has been actively updated as recently as April 2026.

Virginia referendum ruled unconstitutional

How many people out there are actually paying any attention to this?

There's a reason for the question, and it has lot to do with the fact that Trump was forced off Twitter before it became "X".

Folks may have forgotten that already. Anyway, Trump sets up his own social media site, and now all of the propagandists on the left are posting on his site with their usual rage porn.

The President of the United States cannot get his messaging through on his own website! Think about that. There is this great movement out there to try to keep people from seeing what they should see. If you want to know what the President's thoughts on the matter are, you may not see it because of all this flood of locusts that have invaded the site to keep him from being able to communicate his thoughts. Do you see that? Does anybody given even the slightest thought about that?

Meanwhile, the left does nothing to stop the relentless propaganda being directed at the public through their usual channels in the legacy media, and on their own places. Would they ever put up with this at all? No, if anybody who opposes them say anything, they will try to silence it. This flood of locusts are just another example of this kind of tactical censorship.

So, let's review what happened in Virginia, shall we? But the left doesn't want the public to actually see what they tried to pull off with the BS referendum of theirs. Even BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA was called in to force this over the finish line in their favor.

They may well have CHEATED in order to get a favorable result. The mail-in ballots came in at the last moment in order to give them a winning margin.

Further review would demonstrate that the DEMOCRAT/COMMIES rigged the living shit out of this "democratic" process so that they could do what James Carville ranted about recently.

Just asking the question of people. Are you paying attention to this???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

America is in trouble all right. It is a problem within the country

Iranian propaganda chief is in charge of what you see on OUR media

Comment: An example of what this is about. The Iranians are running propaganda and one of theirs is influencing messaging on our own soil, and we actually let them do it. This is freaking unbelieable to me, but it sure explains a lot. Don't tell me about the First Amendment BS. The Constitution defines treason explicitly. The Senator took an oath. American servicemen are at risk over there. He has no business talking like that, nor should there be hostile nations sending their people over here in order to influence American policy. Geez, that is really STUPID.

4/21/26:

This Democrat Senator could be talking about some Iranian propaganda. Iranian ships getting past US blockade? They couldn't do anything to stop US bombing the crap out of them, but they can evade the US Navy?

This is like having Tokyo Rose or Lord Haw inside of our government. If the US ran WWII the same way, everybody would be speaking German right now. Or Japanese.  Update:  Boy, the mistakes keep coming.

"Tokyo Rose" wasn't guilty of treason, but was believed to be at the time.  However, my point remains valid--example Vietnam.  Vietnam wasn't lost on the battlefield.  It was "lost" politically and through the treachery of the Democrats.  Nixon negotiated an end to war on favorable American terms.  The North Vietnamese wouldn't have dared to attack while Nixon was still in office, but Nixon was forced out due to the Watergate scandal.  The Democrats treachery resulted in North's takeover in 1975.  Unfortunately, treachery won out in 1975 when the free South fell to the communists.  The Democrats blocked any attempt at aiding the Southern Vietnamese, which handed victory to the commie North.  Likewise, they could do so again in any Iran deal because the Democrats learned that they can win through treachery.  Never going to forget that as long as I live.

Yes, and people like that Senator get taken seriously by way too many people in our own country. It is a very, very sad sight to see.

Beware the internet scams and scammers who are just a bunch of crooks

A scam in uncovered, and what do people think of it?

The comments are worrisome. The story is worrisome.

People rely too much on the internet, but the old legacy media isn't very good either. The problem is how do you get good information?

The scammer is just a crook, and now he is in medical school, funded with his scammed money. Like we actually need more people like that in our medical industry, and in this country.

Well, I've tried to get people to wise the hell up, but I need to practice what I preach as little better.

An endorsement of that youtube channel was a bit hasty. That channel too may have been a scam. But I don't know that. Hard to say. They are demanding subscriptions to view their content, it seems. Well, I deleted their bookmark. Won't be going there now.

I'm taking back some of my approval about this post, and take it as a warning to myself and to others. Something about this practice is looking fishy about now.  This post is not proof of anything dishonest there, but the channel did use some AI in its presentation.  Just like this scammer in the linked story.  Do be careful out there.  I was a bit sloppy.  My bad.

The source of our rights is not the government, but the Democrats would like to enforce their views to the contrary

via Revolver, here's an article well worth reading.

Our God-given rights are under assault by the usual suspects. Too bad that there's just too many people who are asleep to the danger to the continued enjoyment of those rights.

Good video, but you have to stick with it to the very end

It is difficult to stay with a video like this, which develops the point so slowly, that you might lose all patience before the point finally gets made in the final minute of a 30 minute video.

So I give a thumbs up for it, but only if someone is willing to stick with the video to the very end. Then you might get the point.

The real point is that the government of Ottawa is totally f'ed up, and cannot negotiate much of anything with the USA right now because of their own incompetence. Will Candians ever figure this out? Probably not. The reason why is in this video, but it isn't nearly high-lighted enough for those who may not get it.

The sad, sad fact is that Japan is wasting its time on Canada. They are likely to blow themselves up, as opposed to actually solving any problems at all. That's especially true when the Liberal government there actually caused the damned problems in the first place.

There's a lesson here for our own liberals in the USA, but don't bet anything to get fixed there either. It's for the same reason. As Einstein said, "the mind that caused the problem cannot be the mind that fixes it." The mind of the left is the problem. They cannot fix anything that inherently inside their own heads.

More Sitemeter Statistics- A Great Month- Thank You Very Much!

4/19/26:

This is a very old post from the early days of the blog's second iteration. The first iteration was in 2004. This is a very hard slog to get any traction and pageviews. In the early days of the blog, there were many days with (0) views. It took several months, but it finally did start get some views.

I was plenty happy about that little bitty success that I did have. It didn't grow much more though, but I kept at it for all these years.

There has been times when views have gone up, or seem to have gone up. The trouble is, I'm not too sure of what the actual number is, as I have stated several times before. The sitemeter thing fell out of favor after awhile. I don't remember why I set it aside. Maybe it was Google who made it impossible. It has been a long time since I've used that.

Sitemeter is still around, but they're asking for an account to use it. If I have an account there still, I don't remember how to access it. I could try to sign on again, perhaps with a different sign-on credential. I did that with W3Schools, but it wasn't easy with them to get back on. Maybe sitemeter is the same.

But why do that if Google supplies me with data anyhow? Google can strip out the noise and give me the scoop. Should I trust Google or should I move on to Sitemeter? Only if Google is not telling me the true story. But what IS the true story? Why would Google lie about it? ( I blush as I write this) Anyway, I might check into it. On the other hand, maybe I won't. Either the blog does okay or it doesn't. I'm not going to worry about it. As long as some folks are coming, I'll blog. If it goes to zero again, maybe then I'll stop. If you like this blog, keep on coming by.

1) Go to the bottom of the page and click on some videos- the cartoons are the ones I made, watch these, that will help my YouTube stats
2) Go to the Facebook badge on the left, near the top of the screen.  Click on the badge and like my Space Colonization Page.  It has only 7 likes so far.  It may look a lot better if there were a lot more.
3) Like this page by following it.  There are only two followers of this page.  It would look a whole lot better if there were more.
4) Comment upon posts.  You can comment anonymously if you prefer.  Comments look better than no comments.
 5) Click on some Amazon links.  These are in italics, so they should be easy to spot.  Even if you don't buy anything, it may be helpful, I think.
6) Get your friends to do the same.
7) I'm not asking for money, or your email address, or your name, or much of anything.  But this blog does need support to survive.  Please help in any way you can.  Thanks for your support.

Outstanding

What struck me about this presentation was the incredible investment that the mad mullahs made in trying to dominate the world.

People whine about a little inconvience with higher oil prices. If Iran had gotten nukes, they could've threaten everybody who opposed them, and they could've controlled the Strait with a nuclear gun.

Trump has done a great thing. We have dodged a bullet. The world is better off. Not that he will get any thanks for it. But those in the know will know better.



This smells like a youtube thing here. Too bad.

A truth social embed

A wager here. How many people actually pay enough attention to what's going on in this country, know their history, who could watch this and say that there's something wrong with it? Trump amplified it here by posted it on Truth Social. Good reason to hate them both???

Mark Levin seems like a good guy to me. Just sayin'. There's a strong movement out there to stir up as much Trump hatred and hatred of Jews that seems scandalous. Hard to believe how much rage porn on social media sites sometimes. But here's a reasoned argument. We need more of this, not the rage porn.

What kind of church permits this???

The Catholic Church. Meanwhile, Trump at least tried to help the Nigerians who were being slaughtered. What did the "Pope" do about that?

In 1955, Algeria had 1 million Catholics and 140,000 Jews. Today there are 8,000 Catholics in Algeria and fewer than 200 Jews.

Christians and Jews had lived in Algeria since Roman times. Now they’re gone.https://t.co/BvwwQ15dYk

GOP still doesn't know how to fight the Dems

4/18/26:

Here's the James Carville quote I was looking for

Democrats are discussing plans after retaking power to change the system so they never lose it again. Carville (curiously on a national podcast) told Democrats to keep the plans quiet: “Don’t run on it. Don’t talk about it. Just do it.” ... https://t.co/LA7lKwbGOQ

James Carville is on the warpath. But he advises the Dems to stay quiet about their intentions. So, let's get this straight. The Dems are running on "Democracy", but want to use their power to make sure that you will always get Democrats forever more. Sounds like Democracy to me! /sarc

Sorry about the lack of a link to Carville reference. He has a wish list for the Democrats to enact --- 1) packing the Supreme Court with liberals 2) adding DC and Puerto Rico as states for starters. But he advises the Dems to not run on it. It might make them look too power hungry. Yep, the Dems sure LOVE democracy! /sarc (If I can find the link again, I'll update...)

You can warn people about these commies, but if people don't heed the warning, the commies will absolutely take over. You can absolutely count on that.

4/16/26:

That's something that David Horowitz used to say. Horowitz himself had been a "red diaper baby", so he knew what the Democrats really were, and what needed to be done to fight them.

Given that, I can segue into a short spiel about AOC. What she said in that recent video was the kind of tactics that Horowitz knew about, and was warning about.

AOC mentioned the "convictions" as if it was the gold standard of proof. It is decidedly not that. It is likely to be appealed successfully eventually, but in the meantime, the fact of its existence makes it good propaganda material that can be used against Trump. Indeed, that is what the whole trial was FOR. The left doesn't respect the legal system, nor any part of the law. The law is being used in a political fashion. It is not intended to be just, nor fair. Indeed, it is the very opposite of those things.

The objective is to defeat your opponent by any means necessary. That phrase comes from leftist origins and should always be noted. The left is using that phrase AGAIN. This may mean things such as Lawfare and Assassination. It may be things such as phony impeachments and phony investigations, such as the Russian collusion hoax.  Keep in mind that some of them idolized Luigi Mangione.  Some of them expressed regret that the assassination of Trump didn't succeed.

The wheels of justice turn rather slowly compared to politics. By the time that justice catches up, the politics will have moved on. That is something that the GOP doesn't seem to grasp very well. They continue to allow the Democrats ( now commies ) to get traction with their phony lawfare and so forth, and by the time things get repaired in the justice system, the damage has already been done POLITICALLY.

The GOP cannot allow that to happen. But it still happens, as it happened before. AOC is still trying to pull that stunt, and Trump is trying to do something about that. It would help if the GOP united firmly on that point, because if they don't, there won't be much left of the GOP to fight back against the commies because the WAR would have been lost for good.

When the commies win, they don't give up without bloodshed. Keep that in mind, because the long term does not bode well if this kind of thing isn't remedied and SOON.

Nick Fuentes sounds like a hysterical woman

  There hasn't been much on the brouhaha going on with the widow of Charlie Kirk and one Candace Owens.

  But there wasn't anything about Charlie Kirk here while he was still alive.  Not on my radar.  Not much on Owens either, but there are a few posts about her.

  So I've stayed clear of this too.  Actually, the whole thing doesn't make a helluva lot of sense.  It is a tempest in a teapot.

  One thing that I DID get.  I went to Grokipedia, since I stopped going to Wikipedia, and took a look at some of what that site had to say about Erika Kirk.

  One of my pet peeves came up about "far-right" politics, and that made me feel pretty bad about the state our country is in.

  It is little wonder then, that the political left calls their opponents "fascists" since they (meaning the so-called "right") love to attach that terminology to themselves all the time.

  Folks who claim to be on the right don't have a clue about what they're doing. That includes a whole lot of miscalled thought leaders.  For if you do not know who you are, you have at best a 50-50 chance of winning any fight.  That, according to Sun Tzu on the "Art of War".

  Check out history, and if you do check anything at all, then any association with "right-wing" and conservatism in America should repulse you as much as it does myself.

  If there's anyone in politics that emulates Nazism and Fascism, it is the leftists themselves.  The last thing you'd be if you were a true conservative would be to embrace Fascism.  It is the height of either ignorance or malevolence to believe otherwise.

  People need to get a clue.  You cannot win if you concede the fight before you even start.   Erika Kirk a Nazi?  Puhleeze...

Understanding the PetroDollar

The thought about high oil prices and inflation does not jibe with Milton Friedman's theories about money. That is, it doesn't until you consider the petrodollar. Then it starts to make more sense.

That means the current high prices for oil won't cause inflation. It will cause the reverse. Less money means high "interest" rates. The price of oil works like interest rates. If interest rates are high, economic output drops. That means recession.

The statistics show a higher rate of inflation, but not all of the stats showed that. If you count "core" inflation, the prices didn't go up. That means aside from oil prices, the inflation rate did not go up. Eventually, the rest of the price structure will fall even while oil prices stay relatively high.

That would be true if oil is acting like a currency. Check back later to see if that is true.

Some folks just can't be happy

There was a tweet about how all the oil tankers are coming to the USA, since the Hormuz Strait got tied up in knots.

The tweet seemed to reveal something that illustrates the ignorance of people about the significance of things. Well, this blog is here to help. You see, for the longest time, there was a disincentive to drill for our own oil. So policies changed, and whaddaya know? More oil. But there's a problem. While pumping oil is great, we cannot REFINE it. It couldn't be refined and it couldn't be sold overseas. Again, a policy adjustment ensued, and whaddaya know? More oil got produced because the oil producers could sell their oil. Funny how that works. When the government lets you sell your product, more gets produced. It's a beautiful thing, as Limbaugh used to say.

I jipped the video at this point so that you will know that I'm not making this stuff up.



This video doesn't come to the obvious conclusion that you should BUILD MORE REFINERIES. The premise of CLIMATE CHANGE is bunk. Oil companies won't build the refineries because the risk from the environmentalist wing may make that a costly mistake. So we import the "sour" crude, as opposed to refining our own "sweet" crude.

Hopefully that clarifies the matter. But who knows? You can draw all the pretty pictures you want, but if nobody cares about the truth, nothing will change.

If you're going to complain about high prices, then quit bitching about CLIMATE CHANGE. duh

Morality who needs it?

 

There is an economics term called "the commons". This is distinguished from "private property". The capitalist theory holds that socialism doesn't work because nobody really cares about the commons; but if somebody owns it, then they'll care about it.

Perhaps one can expand upon that beyond the economic sphere. Let's take religion. Religion concerns itself with morality, does it not? But nobody cares about morality except for the people who own it. That would be the clergy. Got that?

There will be objections to that, of course. Christianity teaches that the "good sheperd" takes care of the sheep. The sheep meaning the followers of the religion. Therefore, according to the theory propounded above, the clergy only cares about the sheep because they "own" the sheep. Once again, there are those who would object, but isn't that really the case? Who would care about the sheep but its owners?

The good shepherd will guard his flock with his own life. The same is true of private property, is it not?

Once again, there will be objections. There's always objections. This is a working theory. Maybe it isn't the best possible one, but it one that provide a working model for an idea.

Morality is the commons like land is, or any other good thing. Morality is a good thing because it gives predictability to human relations. For example, the common good isn't advanced if there's no enforcement for murder, theft, and so forth. If these behaviors aren't punished, there will be anarchy. Of course there are those for which anarchy would be a good thing, and those people benefit from the anarchy. Consequently, it can be said that they own it.

Furthermore, if anything is a good thing that most people would want, it would be best to have someone in charge of it.

Most people would say that law and order is a good thing. Only the criminal class likes anarchy.

Who would benefit from law and order? Why the government, of course. An anarchy doesn't go with law and order. Therefore law enforcement will "own" orderliness in a society.

Consequently, if you want good things for everybody (in the commons), then you'd better put somebody in charge of it.

If nobody is in charge of it, then the law of the jungle will apply. Nature really does abhor a vacuum. If there's no morality, then the amoral will benefit. If there's no law and order, the criminal class will dominate. In a so-called democracy, if the people want law and order, then that is what they'll get. If people want to be amoral monsters, then that's is what they'll get too.

How do you determine what the people want? Why an election, of course. I think the conclusion follows. But of course there will be objections to that. There always is.

The Shroud of Turin

4/8/26:

Have you seen those type of videos that take a picture or sculpture, and turn it into a life-like depiction of that person? This is a documentary of that endeavor with respect to the Shroud of Turin.

From the video's description section:

A team of graphic experts use cutting-edge software to bring the Shroud of Turin to life.

3/15/26:

A genetic analysis results in anomalous results. In other words, a satisfactory explanation for the cloth still does not exist. But the evidence does show that it is not a forgery.



4/4/21:

The first I heard of it was way back in the early eighties, if memory serves. There was a guy today on the internet who was claiming the Shroud is a fake.

One could argue the point, I suppose. If I were to argue, it would be along the lines that nobody knows how such an object could have come into being. You can claim it is a fraud based upon certain tests, but how do you explain its very existence?

The technology to reproduce the relic still doesn't exist, if I am not mistaken. Once that is figured out, maybe there would be a cause for claiming fraud. Or there wouldn't be. The next question is if you reproduce it today, how did somebody in the middle ages fake this, and why?

Find an answer for that one.
