Stupid smart people

Can people be smart and stupid at the same time? It wouldn't be the first time I heard an idea like this. Bongino talked about this at one time. Also, the theory about stupid people being dangerous fits this. There well may be a way to be stupid and smart at the same time. Check out the link.

Making Collyfornia safe for fraud, aka 'Stop Nick Shirley Act'

Maybe people in this country will finally wake the f!!! up, and throw these scumbags out. But I won't bet the farm on it. Hope springs eternal, though. There's always hope that people will finally see what they need to see. Trouble is, there's a lot of folks out there who want to make sure that you never wake up. Hence this bill from the land of fruits and nuts.



Time stamped the Nick Shirley Act commentary @ 8:30



This video propounds a theory about women that I didn't address, but this video by AOC reminded me of it. Could this video by AOC be an example of what he was talking about?

Time stamped the women commentary @ 14:30 "chick thing" and "EI". In other words, this kind of stuff comes from women. That kind of thing usually brought some more bad stuff down on your head, like "misogyny" accusations. Just putting it out there, not necessarily commenting upon myself. Not yet, anyway.

Owens v. Kirk

The fur is a-flyin', and I'm just a laughin'.

Alex Jones? That Fuentes guy? MTG? No worries, mate...

4/15/26, Update:

More on Alex Jones here. Alex Jones is a kook. Check into it. No bout a doubt it.

Update:

Tucker Carlson? He makes an allegation... where's his evidence??? It's not enough just to make a charge. You have to back it up.

Update, 4/15/26:: Checking out Tucker Carlson reveals this. Not good for Tucker.



4/11/26:

Trump distances himself from a group of what is called "influencers".



Owens had a reply on Twitter, which won't be embedded here. She's clearly anti-Trump now.

Quick update! Blogger blocks Truth!? It's been awhile since I last embedded a Truth Social post. Censorship is not good, ya'll.

Update two:

Google owns Blogger, which is the platform for this blog. Blogger also owns YouTube, which does not block itself, I judge. There's a YouTube video of Owen's response to the Trump post. After watching some of it on YouTube, I don't think it worthy to link to, nor to embed. But it is there, and that is worth noting here. So I have noted...

Now Trump's Truth is working! Well, bless my soul...

  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...

Italian PM has the sads that Trump being critical of the "Pope"

But the "shepherd" of the flock says nothing about his own sheep being murdered by the wolves of this world.

Have you ever noticed that we never see Catholic cardinals or the Pope speak out about all the Christian churches being burned down around the world?

But yet, Pope Leo runs to showcase a mosque in a country that restricts Christians and other faiths, and coerces conversion to… https://t.co/leIOyn6SEF

I was looking for the scene in the movie, but couldn't find it. That movie was on Tubi; as in the movie, Jesus spoke through a child to Peter, and Peter turned back and returned to Rome...

Update on this paragraph:

I assumed some details were in the New Testament, but actually were not. My bad. Some of the material was possibly derived from the apocryphals, and not a part of official canon. How embarrassing.



There WAS this video, however...

The future belongs to those who show up

... and it ain't liberals.

The childbearing gap between liberals and conservatives is absolutely exploding and has now reached 2 to 1 among women 25-35. In 1980, there was hardly any difference.

Conservative fertility actually increased over 40 years, showing the power of pronatal culture on one side! https://t.co/JQapX2ya7P pic.twitter.com/KGVUNDQnAO

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
