A Need to Change

Everyone with half a brain has known that robots and AI are going to make many human jobs obsolete, meaning importing random 3rd worlders has never been more unnecessary. Improving technology does require less people working to get more done. Is that really the problem? If you want the same number ...

New York and Gaza

The current trial of Trump seems to be going as the prosecution would have it, with support for him in the polls following. Few independents will support such a clearly criminal Trump, not even the racists or those who value their religious beliefs over democracy. The handwriting is on the wall. The...

Filling a vacuum

How is NATO going to defeat Russia and China with the scrapings from the bottom of the barrel? They might have to count on Russia's and China's barrels being empty. They seem to have problems too. Russia can't even beat Ukraine let alone NATO. China is collapsing economically without a war. The int...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

Don't worry, when Biden 'wins' re-election he will flood the country with even more illegals and make America great again... Biden recently tried for a bipartisan border bill which provided for more immigration judges to clear the asylum backlog and more border guards to stop the illegals. Trump bl...

Resistance to change

The recent Black Lives Matter protests stopped the occasional murders by police officers. This is not compatible with tilting at windmills. Some racists would like to believe it is so, but considerable progress is being made in race relationships. For example, Americans are no longer enslaving black...

Make peace, idiots?

Doing some Youtube web surfing, they gave me a bunch of WW II videos. Several things stood out. One thing was how Hitler and the Axis made decisions based on ideology rather than strategic advantage. America was run by blacks and Jews, therefore it was safe and proper for Germany to declare war in 1...

Civil War?

Watching the blue MSM last night, they emphasized a couple of minor things. The first was sleeping babies. Apparently, just around the corner from the main entrance to the court, there was so little noise that it was easy to fall asleep. Turns out there were less than a few dozen each of Trump suppo...

Anyone's Fool?

Not now, so your sentiment is generally correct. Here's the thing, there's obviously only so much Mr. Trump can control (they did kick him out after all). I think he gets back in and then they sabotage him again - in 2026. That's my current prediction. Trump has been burned once, but I don't think ...

Patriot's Day

The third Monday of April is traditionally celebrated in Massachusetts as Patriot's Day, commemorating the battles of Lexington and Concord which opened the Revolutionary War. This year? Trump goes on trial in New York? Tax day? Not sure it is in the right spirit. The Revolution was a fine crisis. I...

Re: Defining Terms

The narrative is that we are leading the charge to a better tomorrow at net zero without fossil fuels. The reality is that the US and other developed economies are no longer competitive enough to take the lion's share of the world's fossil fuels. The narrative helps to keep perceptions from catchin...
