Elon Musk interview

Not familiar with the interviewer (Farzad), but he seems good.

Mock trial of Lee Harvey Oswald for the assassination of JFK in 1963

Why write about this? Actually, I'm a bit conflicted over it. What possible good could it do? Perhaps none.

So I won't go into great detail. There are a few things worth noting. Number one, I had never heard of this flick before. It was made in 1964, it said. However, it was suppressed at that time. The trial kept the actual names secret. Therefore, you would not recognize some of the testimony, but the basic facts appeared to be accurate. There is one discrepancy. The movie said that 3 bullets were found. My understanding was only two were found. The third bullet was assumed to have been lost, since it missed. If three shots took place, then only 2 bullets should have been found.

There weren't that many witnesses. Some of the trial necessitated the assumption of how Oswald would have handled himself in the courtroom. Since he was dead, he could not enter a plea. Therefore, the plea had to be assumed to be done a certain way. In the movie, Oswald entered no plea. Under Texas law at that time, such a scenario would assume a not guilty plea. Also, the defense attorney could add something to the plea. In the movie, the defense attorney added not guilty by reason of insanity.

The trial assumed that the viewers were the jury, so the arguments were presented as if the viewers were to decide. The movie concluded with the open question left to the viewer.

That's about all that's worth mentioning, I'd say.

Aside from that, I'd add that it's fascinating to watch such things. The difference in how matters could unfold is really rather small. What I mean is that Oswald, if alive, could have had a trial like this, and found not guilty by reason of insanity. In such amount of time, he could have been freed like John Hinckley was freed. But that doesn't mean that he would have had such an outcome, but then you can never know that.

If Oswald had been found not guilty by reason of insanity, he could be alive today ( assuming that Jack Ruby didn't murder him of course). History can turn on such events. Imagine how things might have been different if Oswald had stood trial. Would things have been better or worse? Ooops! Another open question.

Shapiro and Bongino: Mail-in ballots increases the chances of electoral fraud

How do you know who the bad guy is? To the left, these two guys are the bad guys. Why? Are they lying? If not, then who is? Does lying make you the bad guy? Then maybe we can find the bad guy by finding who is doing the lying. By the way, good luck with that. Trouble is, people are too easy to lie to. That isn't just my opinion, you know.

Review of movie "Falling Down"

Here's a video of Limbaugh reviewing the movie "Falling Down"

Why include this? Why not? Anyway, who is a bad guy? The "bad guy" in the movie doesn't seem to know that he was the bad guy. What happens when the bad guy doesn't know he is the bad guy? It may mean that he has to die.

What is liberalism?

Where liberalism prevails, it's a place where bad guys can win! Like in the movie, "Last Action Hero". But you won't need a magic ticket to get in. Just keep voting for insane liberals.

What bad guys? The terrorists (and their sympathizers) are now a protected class in America. Crooks are no longer prosecuted and jailed, so now crime is exploding in the big cities. The bad guys are winning and are now running these cities. Do you like what you see? People are packing up and leaving those big cities and going elsewhere.

Here's an explication of the idea of bad guys winning in the movie "Last Action Hero".

Powerline blog: Biden Hemorrhaging Black Support

It's particularly bad with under 40 voters. Also, in a three way race, black support hurts Biden more than Trump.

I'm getting to be of the opinion that Biden won't be the nominee on election day.

Saudi Arabia drops the petrodollar

Way back in the early 2010's, I wrote a bit about bitcoin. Now, it may become the replacement for the PetroDollar. Saudi Arabia has ditched the dollar, and there are hints that the direction they want to go is to bitcoin. If so, bitcoin can have the backing that the dollar once enjoyed.

That's my take. But what does that mean? I think everyone will probably agree that it isn't good for the US dollar. As for the general public of the USA, it's every man for himself.

Funny how Brandon brought this about. The Dems are always talking against "every man for himself", but here they are, the ones most responsible for it. The US government is out of control. Watch the video and think about what you've just read here.
