I like her reflection in the glass. Butterfly hinges. I wish we could see a building 1600 without the revelation of window glass. Like what would mere shutters or slats work like? Saxon-era, taverns, flops, etc. No one cared what peasants did until after 1800 when they were being squeezed out by prosperity of the Industrial Revolution. Degas. Romantics.

Nooo!

“Romanian Court Annuls Vote, Declares Presidential Election Do-Over, After ‘Far Right, Pro Russian’ Candidate On Top

Backsies! Get a Do-over, as many as you like. Just like the EU Referendums.

“Obama: Democrats have to talk to people they disagree with | REUTERS

Revelation, hell hath frozen over! Will this reach any Democratic base, the 4B Busy Bee in the Bonnets? How about Tulsi? Can she “Talk to other people” now? Read news from source other than ABC? I mean, as essentially a diplomat we wouldn’t want her reading Russian or nothin’. Or Haaretz. Or BBC. I mean, why is one foreign nation different from another? She’s not allowed to read ANY of them.

“SCOTUS To Face Challenging Moral Dilemma Of Whether It’s Okay To Slice Off Children’s Body Parts With Giant Knife “ –BBee. And also NOT the BBee. For realsies.

I say yes. Always kill kids, every time, every place. That’s what proves you’re the “Good” people.

Barron: Remember when any guy from Taco Bell would just hop the fence at the White House, wander around the grounds for half an hour while every Secret Service guy were all on break together? Yeah, right about that time his Security detail taking selfies in Barron’s room with Barron sleeping and posting them on the Internet?

Good times, good times! And totally not a personal threat to Donald at all.

“Obama just criticized Republicans, accusing them of rigging elections”

Oh. And you did NOT ask for a legal investigation and recount for why then? You legally did absolutely nothing to rectify a known rigged election? Wouldn’t that be a dereliction of duty as well as you encouraging the End of Democracy where Democracy is on the Ballot? I seem to remember another candidate filing paperwork for a legal recount and investigation – what happened to them?

There’s a Process. You took zero steps in that process why? And now you’re talking about it publicly having taken no legal steps why?

“(Rep) Pat Fallon (Txs) is open to taking Bidens pardon of Hunter to the Supreme Court”

I agree. Not because he can’t pardon, but because you can’t pardon all animal, vegetable, or minerals, for all crimes known and unknown. You have to “Pardon” “A thing”. I’m not even arguing that Biden can’t pardon himself, because all Hunter’s crimes are Joe’s crimes, although some would and should argue so.

““We are confident that under his stewardship, the FBI will thrive in its vital mission to protect and serve the American people..”

When was that its mission? It wasn’t set up for that and hasn’t done it in its existence. J. Edgar. Hoover. This is business as usual when we should erase it ahead of the Department of Education. (They won’t of course, and I understand. However, that means it won’t get fixed, it will wax and wane.)

“NYC Mayor Eric Adams does not rule out re-joining the Republican Party. He was a Republican from 1997-2001.”

This is what’s different and works about NY. (City). Being far-left, they also install Republicans to clean things up periodically, and do not try to erase them as in, say, California. Or Chicago. Then sadly, that means they can’t go too far and utterly collapse, but limp on half-alive. That’s why NY is more vital than the other places though, and work still happens there. Sort of.

“• Jeff Bezos Expresses Optimism About Trump’s Deregulation Agenda, Offers to Help (ET)

Got a problem with technocrats, or erasing the FBI: IF in these conditions, you de-regulate or shrink government, there is X power in the nation, adding up to 100%. If Government drops from 50% to 30% of that power, who gets the 20% difference? A: Right now? Corporations. Displacing government. It does not automatically revert to the People, who would have to TAKE that power from the other two, generally by “Force” of scaring the h—l out of them, and enforcing their will.

So Bezos and Globalists “Win”, or COULD win, merely by doing nothing here and rolling with it. ARREST THEM. They’ve committed about 100,000 crimes apiece, just like ol’ Brian at Healthcare. Consider it that we care very, very very much for their safety and wouldn’t want anything to happen to them in custody.

““An important part of my platform for president is to bring back, restore, and rebuild Washington D.C. into the ‘crown jewel’ of the nation..”

You and I have different opinions on this: I want it razed to the ground. With no Federal employees, all removed back to Kansas and N. Dakota, WHO is going to occupy all those buildings? Eat in those restaurants? D.C. is the top 10 richest zipcodes and there is ZERO industry or production there, explain?

Okay, I wouldn’t ACTUALLY nuke it flat, that’s a waste, but do civic planning for it to have the population it had in 1949, then bulldoze buildings from the suburbs on in. Eminent Domain to plant peach trees, who’s with me?

“President Biden was deeply concerned,” … that legal problems would push his son into a relapse after years of sobriety,”

Boy it’s a good thing no American families have experience with addiction and will believe such a thing…

“the Russian assessment is that once again the American side proves that nothing it says in private, agrees to in public, or signs on paper can be trusted.”

So strange! Whatever led them to such a conclusion? Who can possibly understand the Russians and their slanty-eyed ways?

““Brown spilled the beans as part of a warfighting exercise to show light between Gerasimov and Putin,” a NATO military veteran comments. “It was underhanded, but typical.” Because: ““the Russian assessment is that once again the American side proves that nothing it says in private, agrees to in public, or signs on paper can be trusted.”

“Erdogan plays his familiar double role. “Reportedly, the Turkish initiative was hurriedly brought forward, to fit with Israel’s ceasefire plan.”

Erogdan and Israel, hand in glove. “Recep and Benjamin sittin’ in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G…” Mwah. Hawk Tuah Erdogan, put some spit on that thing…

I am sorry, I fail at having adequate derision for such characters. But I do know how to build a scaffold.

““Current US President Joe Biden wants to increase the scale of the conflict, Orban claimed, while President-elect Donald Trump is “pro-peace.”

Maybe. But he’s not in yet so we don’t know. Also wasn’t he the guy arming and training 400,000 Ukrainians with Javelin missiles? While putting on the worst sanctions ever outside of war? Gave record funds to the Pentagon, which was trying to remove him, while Congress gave even more than that? More than asked, which you forwarded? To Comey, Vindman, Milley? Uh-huh.

“President Klaus Iohannis declassified intelligence on Wednesday that alleged Russia ran a sprawling campaign comprising thousands of social media accounts to promote Calin Georgescu across platforms like TikTok and Telegram,”

Yeah, that’s called “Advertising”. There’s no country on earth not using it.

One conclusion: All Romanians must die. Like the nearby Slavs. They’re not British, nor the EU Garden. Therefore, CHOP! 100% dead. Logic. Now get to it, toss your nation in the fire, and go die in the way you think best.

““British equities are currently trading at a record discount of over 40% compared to peers globally..”

I was going to snark “only 40%”, but at least somebody’s doing something. Thanks Starmer. Yeah, what was the valuation in Poland as the Iron Curtain slowly fell?

““Unless the UK gets its act together, it’s going to continue to lose ground and relevance,” Liad Meidar,”

Hahahaha. You’re kidding, right? Show me a single thing from Dover to Inverness that’s pointed in the right direction. If I were Ireland, I’d invade and colonize them. They’d welcome you with open arms.

“Cloud seeding”

So they’re salting the earth? Yeah, that’ll go well. Also, anyone want to look at math? We spent $1M and 500 Tonnes of CO2 to reduce the offset of 5 tonnes of CO2. Maybe watch that Billy Bob clip on windmills again?

Hey, ya know what ELSE gets carbon and created clouds? A: TREES. Aaaaiiiiii!!!! Anything but trees! We want to save the earth, but only if it’s by PAVING the earth. If it doesn’t involve uranium mines, nuclear waste, million-acre alien dreadnaught manufacturing facilities, it’s not saving the Earth at all! Imagine the cheek! Planting Trees! Well I say sir, are you really an environmentalist at all? Everyone knows REAL environmentalists CUT every tree in England and Scotland to Save the Earth and “Go Green”.

Nope, ran out of derision again. I guess this is when we start just arresting and guillotining them without trial. About the time we lose all patience and sense of humor.

Diamond Sutra: For a Buddhist you seem very Spartan and short on compassion of the Eightfold Path: right view, right resolve, right speech, right conduct, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right samadhi” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_Eightfold_Path

Not that I’m totally opposed, “Justice” is often the rival of “Mercy”. As with children, nor can you always punish or always praise. But since Buddhism is rooted in compassion from the get-go (that’s why Siddharta stayed on earth to teach instead of “Peace Out” himself) AND being enlightened appears to cause compassion, as we know in person, it seems a bit…short. As far as I can tell, deep understanding always leads to compassion and forbearance. Then it becomes so complicated and apparent, it beggars discussion. You do it. Explaining it is elsewhere.

For Phoenix, it’s infinitely frustrating to warn people, point right at the published studies, tell them their kids will die…and they do nothing. Then to support your argument, you point out the LAST 12 times the SAME people did this, lied…and people did nothing. Like Thalidimide, or whatever. Again, as you say, no one cares about the truth. In abstract.

Should they? They’re busy and can barely do what they’re doing. People warn them all day long, just as I do…and 99% of those warnings are lies over time, so they are learned to be dismissed. That doesn’t help my case and your kids are still dead or injured, but what do you expect to happen in such a case. The other infinite frustration is when you’re the father, husband, brother, which is why you’re totally irrelevant and ignored, as opposed to psychopathic billionaire corporations which women say (like 80% are Democratic-Left) are evil capitalists and not to be trusted. …Until they say anything at all, then THEY, Bezos and Gates are medical experts, and HE, your husband, father, brother is ignored, then attacked, divorced, and disowned. Not great. Then if you bring it up after the proven event, (say, you lost your house in ‘08), nothing happens, he’s still an idiot, and doubly so for warning you and being right.

Logic says: if a guy is right, probably he should be credited, and the sources who lie and are always wrong like MSNBC and CNN, should always be avoided. Nope. No matter how many decades in a row they’re wrong. Why? At that point, what can you say? It becomes de facto intentional.

Why are so many top CEOs psychopaths?

Why are so many top CEOs psychopaths?

Psychopathic personality traits are common amongst business leaders

Thanks to the entertainment industry, most people are quite familiar with the term ‘psychopath’. We think of a psychopath as a dangerous, scary person who is out to wreck vengeance; or someone who is disturbed enough to carry out horrific acts of violence.

But most psychopaths are not homicidal or a threat to society. Many are in fact likeable, educated and well-respected members of society. But when it comes to choosing a profession, people with psychopathic traits are often found in positions that confer power and authority.

Just the next shoe to drop as I predicted months ago.

This comes from a Missouri legislator but expect much more to follow.

Dmitry Orlov: Russia Ready to Wipe Out Both HTS in Syria & NATO’s Ultimate Move

• Not a Joke (James Howard Kunstler)

super-sized blanket pardon
the preemptive pardon

The proffer of a pardon itself must amount to a declaration of probable cause, igniting the very legal process it seeks to dispose of. An inquiry would have to be launched to discover what laws these three desperadoes might have broken, followed perhaps by a grand jury to evaluate the evidence, and so on. “Joe Biden” himself might have to answer some basic questions, such as: at what time prior to issuing the pardon did he begin to suspect some laws had been broken? And, since the president’s chief duty is to enforce the law, was “JB” negligent and culpable himself for misprision of felonies? You know, of course, that the Supreme Court decided last summer in Trump v. United States (Docket No: 23-939) that a president is immune from prosecution for official acts. But the misprision of felonies is neither a presidential duty nor anything describable as an official act. Rather it would be grounds for impeachment, being a “high crime.

Etc.

It seems that is what is going on, because our minds automatically chunk individuals into groups, and then see the groups as singular, monolithic units. However, when you drill down, that isn’t quite the pattern at all. Thalidomide is a good example of this. The individuals in the FDA during the Thalidomide era have all passed, or are resting in care homes. (Like the woman who always comes out to listen when I sing at the care home where she resides — who will be 93 tomorrow. Crazy thing — I saw a woman, older than I, while shopping yesterday who appeared to have arm deformation indicative of mild Thalidomide poisoning in utero.) And, according to A Midwestern Doctor, it was a moral FDA employee who repeatedly blocked full approval of Thalidomide, preventing a larger scale catastrophe in the US.

Humans progress, generally, from ignorance and naïveté towards knowledge and (possibly) wisdom. If well-meaning, and otherwise effective and loving, parents and teachers and clergy and family give less-than-accurate narratives to the young, then the young adults will treat those narratives as “the gospel truth” unless or until life’s reality forces them to see otherwise. Because of this, I trusted that the food in the grocery store and the water from the tap was healthy and good for my body, until my own experience and research suggested or proved otherwise. Here in Phoenix there is an algae bloom that causes a weird odor in the tap water for a few months in the summer each year. We are assured that it is not harmful, however, it is the reason why many years ago my ex and I had water delivered in 5-gallon plastic bottles — tap water here often tastes gross. I did the math after a few years of water delivery and realized for less than one year’s cost of water delivery, we could purchase and install an under the sink reverse osmosis system. Now, I also understand that the fluoride in the tap water is problematic, as was letting the plastic 5-gallon bottles of water sit in the sun day after day until they were used. Oops. Did I drink tap water and water from plastic bottles that had sat in the sun for a couple of weeks because I was stupid? No — I was always intelligent. And then I start to understand how and why the Roman aqueducts were lined with lead even though the Romans knew that ingesting a lot of lead could cause mental illness.

Very often the people who are “in the know” are on separate tracks from the ignorant. (The Spanish word, “aislado” comes to mind, as being more fitting than any single English word.). Or, they behave in ways that come across as “odd” and our human minds, evolved in tribes, see oddness as a mark of being “not-tribe.” I think that this must be why the Greeks prized cogent thought (logic) and why our culture (supposedly) prizes the scientific method. While tribal thinking is a needed and necessary component of the human condition, for us to be more than tribes, it is necessary to also cultivate additional modes of thinking — such as logic, morality (ethics,) and the scientific method. (Not intended as an exhaustive list.).

If we understand that it is not general stupidity that causes others not to see the perfidy of The System, but rather naïveté and trust of those who led them well, then we find paths to convert the ignorant. On the most basic level, we build common ground with the ignorant, so that they see us as “in-tribe,” and are then going to see our oddness as “quirks” rather than “not-tribe.” This opens the door to leading the ignorant to the experiences and information that will cause them to adjust their personal narratives about the world. This is, essentially, what RFK Jr describes with the women of autistic children who repeatedly sought him out. He saw them as odd, dismissible, until a woman showed up on his doorstep, built common ground, and his training in logic demanded that he look at the evidence that she proffered. He was never “stupid” about vaccines — he was ignorant, trusting those who had led him well.

Hmm…come to think of it, the water issue in Phoenix might be a fungal bloom rather than algae…it’s some sort of tiny, tiny thing blooming, I haven’t looked it up in a long time—but the same principle applies.
