Ready, set, CHARGE! (With some water on the side, please!)






"Ready, set, CHARGE! Is this what 'Build, back better' was all about? How about if we used our heads once in a while, before we spent so much (money we don't have) as to really screw up our economy. We need more energy, and we need more sources of fresh water. Period. Without that, our prowess in the exciting new field of AI, might just be very limited."   



I am going to get very real for this post. Not that I have not been real in the past, but this issue has been gnawing at me for some time now. It really is not going to matter a whit who is our next president, or if Biden is wheeled in to take his oath for another term. What is coming is something which needs to be addressed rather than just blown off. Blown off? What say you, Bird? This issue is uncomfortable to talk about. But it is coming - no matter who is president.

Energy. Our grid. As if it is not taxed enough right now, with the passage of the Chips Act, as well as the normal growth in the computer chip industry, we are going to need a boat load of water. Why? The manufacturing process of chip making demands ultimate cleanliness. So much so, water will be needed to constantly clean the surface of the chips being manufactured. Is this really that big of a problem? For the new TSMC mega plant being built in Arizonia it sure is. But who cares? Arizona has plenty of water - right? WRONG!

The water issue to build these new chips is only thing one which is wrong. With the proliferation of AI technology, and the demand for better and faster AI chips, the power required to run the data farms will be enormous. So much so, some futurists are thinking each data farm will require its own mini nuke plant. But - we don't have any of these new mini nuke plants. Can't we just use our current grid? Nope. Not with the coming demand of EVs and as well as our normal usage. And lest we forget, Joe Biden is closing down our coal and oil industry in favor of "green technology". And "green technology" might be decades away from being a major energy player. 

Speaking of being decades away from a mature technology, the EV battery issue is still a big problem. Our variable weather has shown that extreme cold or extreme heat are not good at all for maximum battery life. Plus (and this is a really killer), if too many EVs are plugged into the grid at one time for charging, it might over-tax the grid whereas brown outs or black outs would follow.

Ready, set, CHARGE! Is this what "Build, back better" was all about? How about if we used our heads once in a while, before we spent so much (money we don't have) as to really screw up our economy. We need more energy, and we need more sources of fresh water. Period. Without that, our prowess in the exciting new field of AI, might just be very limited.

Our warfare on lawfare





"Soon after November, the disinfectant of change will pour over Washington like the cleansing of a spring rain. All the crap, the cancer, the corruption, will start to wash away. If the Democrats don't like it, they can all go to California and start their own country." 



Yesterday, SCOTUS finally spoke on the Presidental immunity issue. Did you hear the wailing and the gnashing of teeth from the loony left? "The Supreme Court just gave us a king and not a president!", one idiot shouted. Then AOC, the most renown bartender turned legal scholar we have, declared, "We need to impeach the Supreme Court!" Huh?

So, what did really happen with some of the historic ruling's SCOTUS made this session? It told Jack Smith and others, to knock it off. The court is wise to what is going on. And what is going on? Lawfare, pure and simple. Lawfare perpetrated by the loony left for only one reason - to gut Donald Trump of any chances of seeing the White House again. And why is that? Because they can't beat Trump at the ballot box. Plus, Trump can cure the cancer which has affected out government. He can drain the swamp. He can end the Democrat tyranny and replace it with our Republic, once again.

Last evening, they woke up Joe Biden and wheeled him into the press arena to explain to us that Democrats are now going to declare war on the Supreme Court. Maybe pack it. Who knows? All the Democrats know right now, is the once reliable left leaning Supreme Court is now rendering judgements on fact, and not fiction - and the Democrats don't like that. The Supremes have told Jack Smith and Garland to "pound sand", in so many words.

By the way, just as an aside, was it not Joe Biden who also told the Supreme Court to "pound sand" when the court said Biden had no authority to forgive student debt? Funny how that works out. Here is the issue - the Democrats must really think we are stupid, not to see the dangerous game they are playing. Well, we are not stupid, and can see every move. We understand "lawfare" and what it is doing to innocent people in our country. 

A word of additional commentary. Seeing how the two sides on our country reacted to the recent decisions by the court, only solidifies how divided our country really is right now. We are as divided as the east is from the west. Is there any way to mend our country, to "rebind" it so to speak? I doubt it. Just as there are two Dakotas and two Carolinas, there will soon be two Americas. And at this point, I am just fine with that.

Soon after November, the disinfectant of change will pour over Washington like the cleansing of a spring rain. All the crap, the cancer, the corruption, will start to wash away. If the Democrats don't like it, they can all go to California and start their own country. 

The normal folks will retain the title of The United States of America for their country. The new Democrat country can be known for what it really is - The Un-tied States of America. There - problem solved. No more lawfare for normal folks.

Selfish and short-sighted (but what's new?)

 





"But Jill does not care. Not a whit. She will put on her 'VOTE' dress and parade her failing husband for all to see. Most normal women would NEVER do this. But who said Jill is normal? After all, she might be the main puppet master, the one holding the most strings to her marioneted husband." 


Biden's former babysitter, now is wife, is a piece of work. Like most Democrats, her thirst for power is unquenchable. She is without a doubt, one of the most selfish people in the national spotlight. Why? For what she is doing to Joe. For what she is doing to our country. 

A brief aside for a moment. Don't worry - I will come back to Jill. The airwaves have been filled with Democrat pundits, telling us not to worry about Joe's disaster on the debate stage. "He is fine - really. He is not dropping out, as he is the only one who can beat (again) Donald Trump". Huh? That is the only reason to vote for an incompetent boob like Joe? That he might be able to beat Donald Trump? Unbelievable.

A second aside for a second. Do you hear about France? The rising surge of the right? Rumor has it the White House is worried sick about some of our allies going "right". That it could also come to our country in November. DUH! Get ready for it Democrats, because that is exactly what is coming. The pendulum has swung back, and it is time to put you ancient hippies out to pasture.

Back to Jill. Let's suppose for a minute, they get enough stimulants in Joe to get him over the finish line, and he beats Trump. Then what? What is over the horizon? Four more years of falling apart? Four more years of our allies wondering what has happened to us. Four more years of the new Axis of Evil walking all over us? Being President is hard work. It ages people. It changes people. Look at Obama. Came in as a young kid and went out grayer than a ghost. It has turned Biden into a puddle of mush.

But Jill does not care. Not a whit. She will put on her "VOTE" dress and parade her failing husband for all to see. Most normal women would NEVER do this. But who said Jill is normal? After all, she might be the main puppet master, the one holding the most strings to her marioneted husband.
