I was just reading an article about the new Japan-European mission to Mercury, finally just about there (10 years in flight… it’s hard getting to the inner system, Venus and Mercury; much easier to get to Mars), and one of the comments was, “Wonder if he’ll change the name to Read more
A most interesting article showed up in Tom’s Hardware’s daily email today. . https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/cyber-security/security-researchers-find-surveillance-implants-in-chinese-made-routers-sold-worldwide-three-different-backdoor-like-implants-hidden-in-firmware . It verifies something I’ve strongly suspected for years; that China can take control of America’s technology infrastructure virtually anytime it wants to. Perhaps not absolutely, but certainly to a significant extent. . In response to Read more
Firstly: Mr T “allowed” the new housing bill to pass. Allowed it by not vetoing it, even though he had said he would veto it unless Congress passed his voter rights restriction bill … er, uh, his SAVE America Act first. But once again, he didn’t do what he said. Read more
This is an election year. Too many people are not aware of that. This could be most important election in America’s history. Will it remain a nation Of the People, By the People and For the People? Or will be continue down the road begun by the nafarious “Project 2025” Read more
Excuse me, Mr Media, but why do you keep sayin’ the “cease fire is in jeopardy” rather than ceasefire agreement is null and void? Silly us… “we”(1) are exchanging fire with Iran, during a ceasefire agreement. Clearly this means the ceasefire agreement is garbage, void, null, empty, meaningless, expired or Read more
Just had a conversation with some one about why their website isn’t getting as many hits lately. (Not one of my websites — done by some one else, so my answer is neutral.) I suggested it’s because “AI”(1) often preempts the need to go to the actual website. You get Read more
Dateline: 21 Feb 2026 (teletype sounds in the background, can you hear them?) So Mr T is reacting to SCOTUS’ ruling that he can not levy the tariffs he’s been levying. Now, he’s is declaring a 15% global tariff on all goods coming in to the US. Period. But it’s only Read more
Two national guardsmen were shot in Washington DC, while on routine patrol. . There are so many things wrong with this I hardly know where to start. Military Patrols in Washington, DC. We’re off the charts, right there. Military patrols create targets. (Psych 101, fer Pete’s sake) When you declare Read more
Forty Years Ago — America’s Message to the World was clearly shown by two songs: We Are the World, (1985, Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie) This recording was made during a flash mob performance in a book store in Brazil in 2015, the 30th anniversary of that marvelous event that Read more
So this the last day before 42 million Americans might not get their food supplements, that is, before they are about to go hungry, and what is the Commander in Chief doing today? Showing off a rennovated bathroom in the Whitehouse. That is, it was announced today that the Whitehouse’s Read more
Isn’t it interesting that 5 days after 7+ million Americans declare “No Kings” South Korea decides to give Trump a crown? My opinion of South Korea just totally folded. That’s about as flagrant a spit in the eye of those 7+ million as I can think of, without actually doing Read more
Funny thing… I was just reminded of what Donald Trump said of government shutdowns, back in (or around) 2013. He said the President is to blame, always. . Odd thing for him say, considering that he seems to think it’s actually OK to let 40 million Americans starve, rather than Read more
Yet another supposed drug boat is blown out of existence. Were they warned? Were they given a chance to “heeve to and surrender?” Been watching a navy chat room on reddit. These folks are not happy with Minister of War Hegseth In reaction to the latest destruction of a boat Read more
Just found this on YouTube. Nice to see that America isn’t entirely falling for the smoke and mirrors. What more is there to say here? This fellow caught it perfectly. I can’t find one thing that’s exaggerated or false info. Nice job. Shame that it’s come down to this, though. Read more
I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted much here. I’ve been trying to stay out of national politics, but national politics is all most people want to discuss right now. <Sigh> National politics… when, short version: Study The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich or other such materials Read more
I see Trump held a crypto summit yesterday (as of the time of this writing). Oh goody, goody. I’ve been researching crypto, trying vainly to understand it, for some time now. I just did some more research on how safe it is, and can it be stolen. Yes, indeed. “Coins” Read more
Robotics is getting awfully close to producing a true sci-fi style robot. Now a company has announced a brand new approach to robotics: a synthetic human. Artifical organs, a vascular system and a nervous system. This is called the Clone Alpha. (I think someone needs to read more science fiction.) Read more
I’m one of those wierd-os who wants to know the actual meaning of words. Black Friday is a very strange phrase we batter around in America, generally to mean the Biggest Shopping Day of the year, and as the kick-off of the Christmas spending season. So where does the term Read more
I wasn’t going to get into all this much here… but really, how can I not? The Sad Show in Washington DC keeps getting worse. Russ Vought — key architect of Project 2025 — tapped by Trump, to wield a strange and devastating power: impoundment. Trump has said he’s going Read more
There’s been this “new” word around for a short while and it finally ocurred to me that I don’t know what it means given how it’s being used. Woke. “I woke up just as the sun rose.” “That dissertation really woke him up.” That’s my meaning… But they mean something Read more
