It’s one thing to have governments run like businesses; it’s a whole ‘nother thing to have businesses run like governments.
The hotel where Graham was staying was also blown up, according to zhers..
Open casket?
Calling Madam Tussaud….Flying squirrels are not afraid of me. I put the peanut down on the deck railing and they pick it up at my hand. They are sooooo cute! (There’s about seven of them tonight.)
After a considerable bit of back and forth with goggle trying to find utube’s Rich and Burlingame’s most recent video (no luck), goggle gave me this random correction of my query:
“restaurants near meijer gardensdoes politics”
?????
It has been many years since I have typed that third word into a query.
There has also been a really heavy bias for reddit for some reason.Sweet dreams.
In the Disney version of Gilligan’s Island, the crew sets off to blow up the Nordstream pipeline.
And of course, being superheroes, Ginger puts on the wetsuit while MaryAnn scans the horizen and monitors her re-ascent from the ocean depths.It’s good to see Zitron here. I listened to him for the first time yesterday here.
If I were Snowden, I’d want that pardon in my hand first.
How much in reparations would Minnesota’s Somalis get? Reparations would be an insanely divisive maneuver- an envy-machine of the highest order.
Or it could be our introduction to UBI.Simon Dixon suggests that much of the destroyed infrastructure in these wars was on the chopping block already, and they’re just using the “Lucky Larry” approach to demolition. Destroying bases is theater.
Dixon latches on to what most of the optimists say, but he’s a realist/pessimist: the financial, military and technical industrial complexes have long taken over and will do as they please. They want the US out of the ME. Trump is an actor working for the FIC.
I would throw Burlingame’s two cents in: dark “national” security forces (the “praetorian guard”) are actually running the flow of things. They follow no laws, have no allegiance, and they’re well armed.I’d like Trump better if I didn’t see him as the doorway to the technocracy.
American citizens making money abroad must still pay taxes in the US. And if they have some exemption, they still need to file. Average Chinese wage is 124,000 yuan. $15,750= 107,000 yuan.
For tax year 2025, the filing threshhold for a working teen is $15,750 in wages or $1,350 in unearned income. (taxesforexpats). (great website, btw)
Remove citizenship if they do not file. As US citizens, their allegiance is to the US.
Hey- We could make the IRS an international enforcement agency! I can see both parties lovin’ that.
The Taxman! International man of intrigue!There’s a lot of change out there- someone who wanted to deal with the physical nature of it (transporting it, etc.), could make vending machines that would give a chit in return for a quarter- a little kid would love to feed a machine with change, and mom would be happy to let him do it.
So all these “citizens” living abroad- have they filed income tax returns (’cause America hits you with income taxes everywhere- and even if you don’t owe, you still have to file).
zerosum- it almost sounds like war gets choked for lack of fuel.
war is a beast
it eats oil to thrive
with no diesel feast
it cannot survive.What a shame.
Many eyes see many things-
Enchanted with the ego.
Many “I”s yearn to be kings,
And lead us to where we go.The soul-sucking nature is part of the plan.
You’ve outsourced your essence. You may as well die
And be born once again as the New Order Man:
A conduit selling the god named AI.And it’s all just a mirror reflecting
A homogenous realm of selecting.They identify as a group.
If you don’t recognize it- the gripes!
But they’ll knock anyone for a loop,
When somebody stereotypes.The SAVE act. Keep an eye on it because the uniparty may well agree to it if it entails a “national voter ID.”
Of course, just as a social security number is never used for anything other than social security issues, such an ID will NEVER be used for identification- other than during an election.
/SKeep it up, D. I enjoy what you write.
AI couldn’t even begin to copy your style. I envision a data center starting to smoke out of its ears as it tries.Perhaps the vaxx is working as planned.
Stuck in childhood; trusting leaders
Keeps us safe from being adults.
Letting us be bottom feeders;
Childless, childish: the results.We do not seek the truth.
What we want is confirmation of our beliefs.
(Chase Hughes- and, I suspect, a thousand other people…)There are an awful lot of smart people out there, and many of them are amoral or malicious. If AI actually worked for commoners, we would be awash in mininukes, deadly biopranks, scams, and sabotaged systems and infrastructures.
Destiny Mars is bit like string theory-
It diverts so much talent to useless inquiry.
While that doesn’t mean it won’t find stuff that’s cool,
A cake that’s all frosting is food for a fool.I often wondered what a culture should do with the people who can’t or won’t.
I think the globalists see the real problem is what to do with the people who can, and willBrown eggs have got to go. I can’t tell if the article is real or not. It’s Pravda.
Ooookay. Here‘s the link, instead.
Drought weather- if you can water your garden- is awesome weather.
Here’s a pretty tune that fits- The End of a Perfect Day.The fox squirrel can be huge, and very red. Squirrels carry their young from nest to nest. Perhaps a fox squirrel?
David Rush should have kept his gold on a boat, though tragedies can happen.
WES- I have found that raw organic coconut oil makes a cheap, pleasant moisturizer. I like to apply it to damp skin.
You may be very, very good at something that you do-
Your name is good, you get the jobs, you’ve made a buck or two-
But if your work is making things more lethal than before,
Your customers may love you but you’re still a goddamned whore.This frightening video voices concerns over where our cars in the US are taking us in 2027.
(From zh, originally.)Speaking of movies where the star plays multiple roles, Alec Guinness plays many roles in “Kind Hearts and Coronets”, an under-appreciated film about a man who finds he’s only eight peers away from the throne, and sets about eliminating them. It’s a delightful movie, and it has the sultry voiced Joan Greenwood as the villainess.
Yes, WES, I do.
A very brief synopsis of The Mouse That Roared (1959):
A tiny country “conquers” NYC, and captures a doomsday b*mb. They find it gives them prestige on the world stage. When they discover it is a dud, they don’t tell anyone.
As the movie ends, a mouse in the storage room fiddles with it and fixes it.Kind of fits with themes from today.
