Cycles

In 1995, America was doing so well economically that even liberals lost sight of things beyond consumerism. Who cares about community, meaning, heritage, identity, when the Pepsi-Cola tastes so good? And look, Windows 95 is a terrific improvement on Windows 3.1 - this society works! Everything is g...

Terminating AI?

The Terminator is a Hollywood Arnold Schwarzenegger adventure movie based on sentient programs spontaneously coming into existence. Associating artificial intelligence with nuclear weapon authorization would be dumb, associated only with Hollywood. Makes for an interesting if absurd premise. As a s...

The Environment

I'm not referring to global warming, but something more along the lines of environmental damage and pollution. Agreed with the concern, but part of a larger environmental emphasis. Has anyone compared the number of deaths associated with fires in CA and HI, Hurricanes in FL and TX, increased tornad...

Collapse of the Conservatives

Can't make this up. Confirmed liar (signed off on Russiagate, Biden laptop-denier) John Brennan now saying Trump probably can't be trusted enough to get traditional security briefings once he gets nomination. Praying to God for Trump win and congressional sweep so all this stinking corruption can b...

Re: Interference

The laptop was a Russian forgery, election interference. Does it sound likely to you that a repair shop would give away without permission a user's information with no attempt to erase, and give it immediately to a political rival? This is clear evidence of the Russians and Republicans working to i...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

That is an impressive drop, but I expect a some exaggeration. El Salvadore has a way to go before they hit Luxembourg's 0.32 per 10K.

2 orders magnitude?

And one last thing to ponder: El Salvador now has a murder rate on par with Luxembourg. This had me wondering. I looked up murder rates by nation. El Salvador was listed as #1 at 52.02 per 10K population. Luxembourg is at #188 of 196 at 0.32. The United States by comparison is #76 at 4.96. Your sta...

Interference

It denies the voters information they should have in the general election. Like denying them information about Hunter Biden's laptop? I agree, that should never have happened. That alone probably cost Trump the election. Democrats, filthy dirty cheaters. The laptop was a Russian forgery, election i...

Slow Supreme Immunity Irrelevant?

An odd thought. MSNBC and Professor Tribe have been complaining about the slow schedule for Trump's presidential immunity appeal. They say the voters should know and see the evidence forTrump's criminality. On the surface, this is important. It denies the voters information they should have in the g...

McConnell gone?

Mitch McConnell is apparently yielding the Senate leadership position. I thought 2024 would see a major rewrite to the Republican Party, but I didn't expect a new leadership. Will the replacement be MAGA?
