The gravity of the situation

"Rumor has it that DARPA is working on an anti-gravity propulsion system. I find that very interesting. Why? How can we do that if we don't understand how gravity works in the first place? Bottom line? The gravity of this situation really escapes us. Love it or hate it, gravity keeps us here and prevents us from floating away. Does gravity suck, as the hippies from the 60's would say? Not in my book."   

For those who survived the close call with the seven seconds of no gravity yesterday - congrats. The seven seconds of free floating never happened. And that is a good thing. Why? As the old saying goes, what goes up must come down. There was even a fictitious name for this fictitious event. Project Anchor. Somewhere, many light years from here, there was a disturbance in the gravity field. It was going to hit Earth yesterday, and if you were not hanging on to something which was firmly attached to the ground, you were in for the ride of your life. Probably the last ride of your life. 

If you ever want to have fun with a scientist, here is a series of questions to ask him or her which will put that person in a box canyon. Question One: What is gravity? Answer: It is the force which keeps us on this (or any other) planet. Question Two: What causes gravity? Answer: It is caused by the mass of something in the universe. Question Three: (And this ends the discussion) - What causes gravity? How does it work? Answer: We are still working on it.

Gravity is one of those things which is real, yet unexplainable. Thus, to have this gravity wave hit the Earth yesterday and nullify our gravity for seven seconds, was a good story at best. Why? How would NASA know that, if they can't even figure out what gravity is in the first place? The interesting part is even after this seven second story had been debunked, some still believed in it. But those who still believed in it, still had a shred of truth to do so. Really?

Trying to get an absolute answer on why this could not nor would not happen from experts who can't even fully explain the how and whys of gravity is a problem. Sure, the seven seconds came and went with nothing happening - but was it only because it was a fable, or were we just lucky? 

Rumor has it that DARPA is working on an anti-gravity propulsion system. I find that very interesting. Why? How can we do that if we don't understand how gravity works in the first place? Bottom line? The gravity of this situation really escapes us. Love it or hate it, gravity keeps us here and prevents us from floating away. Does gravity suck, as the hippies from the 60's would say? Not in my book.   

 

But- Is Amy even beatable in this brainwashed state?

"One more thing which we need to look out for. The Minnesota Yellow Dogs. And there are zillions of them in the metro area. Will they vote for Amy? Sure will - most Yellow Dogs would vote for a Yellow Dog if that who was on the ballot. Hang on - more on this to come."

Okay Earthlings - grab onto something as I believe I am going to lob some truth bombs at you this afternoon. Already the odds makers are giving the election to Hotdish Amy, even though the ink is still drying on the election certificates. It does matter who won for the Republicans - Amy was going to dispatch with any one of them. But hold the phone - even though all candidates the Republicans ran were good and capable, there is a reason why I voted for Lisa. Simply put - she knows where the bodies are buried. She had her fingers in the dirt during the debacles of having so many Democrats trying to hide the absolute theft going on with government and state dollars. Whereas Hotdish is going to try and rise above this cauldron of crap, Lisa will pull her back into it. Why? This has Democrat written all over it. Period.

Okay Republican readers, here is your first truth bomb. Take a look at the voting numbers. The Republicans were outvoted by the Democrats in very large numbers. Why does this matter? Enthusiasm. Motivation. We are going to tie graft and theft onto Amy's leggings; the Democrats are going to tie (not Trump) but ICE onto our team. You know, the two murders of Good and Pretti. That will be the great diffusion and confusion. Never mind the billions the Somali community stole from us - the Democrats are much more concerned about ICE.

I really can't wait until the first debate between Hotdish and Lisa. If Hotdish thinks she can roll over Lisa, she might be a bit surprised. That being said, remember what used to be called the "Fourth Estate" - the media. If we had an honest media, that would be one thing. But we do not. That could be why the Democrats will have a 8 point advantage in this race even before it starts. 

One more thing which we need to look out for. The Minnesota Yellow Dogs. And there are zillions of them in the metro area. Will they vote for Amy? Sure will - most Yellow Dogs would vote for a Yellow Dog if that who was on the ballot. Hang on - more on this to come. 

Primary aftermath...

"Congrats to Michele Tafoya. Nice job. Congrats to Lisa Demuth. You will do fine in the general. To rid this state of Amy, you will get lots of help. But today is a new day, with new battles coming up. To save America from the DSA wackos, we must first vanquish the DSA wackos in the primaries. Just saying..."

Sometimes, things work out as they should. Other times, not so much. In Minnesota, I would be lying if I said I was disappointed or surprised in the outcome. But it is what it is. I did support Lisa Demuth for reasons of electability. I liked Kendall a lot. Quality guy. But his campaign was a bit too stealthy. People did not know him. Lisa on the other hand, was all over the airwaves. Every other day I got a mailer about her POSITIONS. But here you go - whereas both Mike Lindell and Kendall know business very well, Lisa is bathed in political experience. And in my opinion, that is what led to her margin of victory.

And what happened last night in Wisconsin was nothing less than a gift from the sane crowd. Fransica Hong, who came out of the DSA jar of nuts, got beat when the media had almost crowned her days before the election. She did not get beat by much - but enough. David Crowley, a man who may not be my cup of tea, (but is fourteen times more normal than Hong) - will advance to the general.

Back to Minnesota. Omar won again. What a shock! Since her district is right in the middle of the Minneapolis version of Dearborn Michigan. Ellison the questionable AG for MN, also won again. I think the big shock was the auditor race. Dr. Scott Jenson, who may know how to set a broken bone, will now need to put on a green eyeshade and look at how the books were cooked under Walz. 

Now we go forward. The general is coming up soon - very soon. We will have a different discussion before that election. The important part of the entire election (in by book) is Hong is gone. Hopefully, gone and forgotten. But there are more in the bushes just like Hong. Maybe worse than Hong. And if Bernie Sanders want any of these America haters to run for an office - they might just win.

Congrats to Michele Tafoya. Nice job. Congrats to Lisa Demuth. You will do fine in the general. To rid this state of Amy, you will get lots of help. But today is a new day, with new battles coming up. To save America from the DSA wackos, we must first vanquish the DSA wackos in the primaries. Just saying...

Vote like your life(style) depends on it!

"Hang on tight folks. This cancer has already started. It will spread. 2028 will be a very important year. This year is just a test case for them - in 2028, it will be for absolute real. What are we fighting for? Our country. Only this time, we are not fighting in some jungle in a faraway land. The enemy is not at the gate - the enemy is inside the gate. And he/she/they/it is coming for you and your stuff."

Oh my! The day is finally here! The primary day, which not that long ago, was a huge nothing burger in Minnesota. Why? It was only a formality (for the most part), as the endorsement process showed the masses whom to vote for. But today? Too many are wondering if the delegates had a clue on who to vote for. The voters will handle it themselves, thank you very much. Thus, this year's primary is the most expensive in state's history. And it is very, very important.

Who is on the ballot in Minnesota? A former SEAL, a CEO of a pillow company, a retired insurance executive, a sportscaster, and some political folks. The question is - who is the best to lead our state out of this morass of fraud and deceit? Most have had it with this goofball carpetbagger who is our current governor. We need somebody who is serious to run this state. Not a flake who is unserious, who is out to ruin this state. 

You would have to be living under a rock not to know the Commies and Socialists are out to tort our system of governance. Hasan Piker, who came out of nowhere, an extreme foul-mouthed person, is leading the charge to take this country down the path of ruination. For some reason, unbeknown to most normals, this rather tall and gregarious person, is attracting loose fitting nutty balls from all over the nation. And because true history is no longer taught in our colleges and universities, the young minions believe ever work of crap this guy spews.

I titled this article; we need to vote like our life(style) depends on it. That is not hyperbole. That is fact. If we let the Commies and Socialists, under cover of the DSA, take over the reins of government in either state or federal - watch out. Right now, most are just loud and not so proud, standing on a soap box and yelling into the street. But give them power, and all of a sudden, your life will no longer be your own. Your money, your guns, your house, your cabin, your RV - all up for grabs. Why? To even out the playing field. Those who work and succeed are not supposed to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Hang on tight folks. This cancer has already started. It will spread. 2028 will be a very important year. This year is just a test case for them - in 2028, it will be for absolute real. What are we fighting for? Our country. Only this time, we are not fighting in some jungle in a faraway land. The enemy is not at the gate - the enemy is inside the gate. And he/she/they/it is coming for you and your stuff.     

The big showdown on Tuesday!

"Step one is the primary. We will vote early in the morn tomorrow and then forget about it until supper time. Then we shall see the returns come in. If Kendall loses, I hope he runs again. Same with Lisa. Mike, however, is doing fine with his business."

Here it comes. The big showdown. The endorsement conventions? That was so yesterday. All of that does not mean spit right now. And it is not just one party. Both parties seemed to have given the middle finger to the endorsement process. Five states, with primary elections coming up - like tomorrow. Who do you favor? Personal choice. I know many in this state will use inherited preferences and vote for Amy for governor - even if she it not the right choice. But voting without fraud is one of the things our brave men and women fight for. For without honest voting, we have little to nothing.

Truthfully - I thought that with all the massive fraud going on in this state, this election would be a joke. How so? The Republicans could have run Bozo the Clown for any office and won. But - remember the curse of the Yellow Dog. Yellow Dog Democrats would vote for a corpse, even if there was no sign of life. And it is the Yellow Dogs who actually put Hotdish Amy in the Governor's chair. I know - I know. Hard to believe. But never underestimate the curse of the Yellow Dogs.

Who is running for governor who would be good for this state? All three. But in the order of precedence, it would be Lisa, Kendall and then Mike. Why Mike in third place? He would still be good, better than Amy, but not as good as Lisa nor Kendall. However, Mike also has the ear of POTUS. That is not nothing (as the saying goes). In any event, we need a street cleaner in office who can clean up all the crap. Not another gets along, go along type of career politician. 

Step one is the primary. We will vote early in the morn tomorrow and then forget about it until supper time. Then we shall see the returns come in. If Kendall loses, I hope he runs again. Same with Lisa. Mike, however, is doing fine with his business. Adam, running for Senate, is going to get crushed by Michele. But Adam is a good man - just a bit unknown at this time. Maybe next time?  

 

The "Socialism Works" canard

"Here is the interesting part of this entire DSA debacle. There still are some Democrats in the old-style Democrat Party who still have a modicum of common sense. And guess what? These folks want nothing to do with these starry-eyed socialists. Some even have threatened to leave the Democrat party." 

Tomorrow, in Wisconsin, yet another one of these little lost children, who want to be a tin dictator spewing the "Socialism Works" canard - is running to be the next governor in Wisconsin. Francesca Hong, the 34-year-old former Thanksgiving Day hater, thinks that with a resume being thinner than paper, she could run this large midwestern state. But as a member of the new and upstart Democratic Socialists of America, she has ideas - boy does she have ideas. Nutty ones, but never-the-less, ideas.

Like most fringe Democrats/Socialist/Communists, she is consumed with ideas of race. For example, during her time as a cook/dishwasher while working at a restaurant, Ms. Hong admits to having a tryst with a white gentleman. And out of that tryst, came a child. Since Ms. Hong is Korean by birth, the child was of mixed race. By her own admission, when she looks at her son, she does not understand the white in his mixture. Huh? Could somebody please play that one again???

Like AOC, she went from being a cook to a bartender. She did a bit of college but dropped out. One might ask then the most uncomfortable question - what gives you the right to think you are qualified to have this job? Besides the fact, this young lady thinks that being a socialist is "cool", she brings nothing to the party. I could only imagine what a mess she would make out of Wisconsin in short order. But - in a state without cops, that does allow ICE to do their jobs, a state which has free food, healthcare and childcare - what could possibly go wrong.

Here is the interesting part of this entire DSA debacle. There still are some Democrats in the old-style Democrat Party who still have a modicum of common sense. And guess what? These folks want nothing to do with these starry-eyed socialists. Some even have threatened to leave the Democrat party. But here is the thing which I find the most vexing. In most (if not all states), there exists a huge number of independent voters. And many of those independent voters are not brainwashed. To vote for a 34-year-old bartender who promises free rides on unicorns and ice cream after each meal - might just be a bridge too far.

Hong will win the primary tomorrow. That goes without saying. However, the general will be a different story. Stay tuned for that one. But as the saying goes, we reap what we sow. Or better yet - we get the government we deserve. Remember that you Badger fans!        

So long as there remains IRGC, so shall the war remain

"With Russia knocking at the door of NATO, with China getting ready to do something awful to Taiwan, and with the Norks still eyeing South Korea - we don't have the time nor the resources to put up with an adventuresome Iran. The smart money still lies on finishing these guys and doing it before August is over."

It hit me hard this weekend. I think I have figured out the endgame for the thugs in the IRGC. Maybe it was because they read the comic strip Peanuts when they were younger and understand that Lucy and the football trick. Iran is going to survive for two reasons. First - they keep changing the goalposts. Every time we think we might be getting close to a "deal" that slippery little thing called peace squirms away from us. And second (and this is a big one) - our government keeps changing. As such, the IRGC plays our politics better than we do.

Many are now asking, why can't we just finish this? We could I suppose, if our POTUS would stiffen his spine against the headwinds and allow our military to do their thing. But Iran keeps playing for time. Playing for control of the Strait. Playing for time so that they can continue on with their nuke research. Heck, they finally confessed they have a missile which has the range to hit our homeland. Our reaction to that has been crickets. Nada. 

Meanwhile, the IDF and the Mossad keep knocking certain IRGC baddies off the chess board. Not enough to make a huge difference in this war, but every little bit helps. What would help even more? For Saudi to grow a pair. Lean into this fight instead of begging us to stop the bombing. I would think that if any country, outside of Isreal, could benefit from a neutered Iran - it would be Saudi Arabia. I guess I might have been wrong. 

Then the question I have been pondering really hit home. What if we don't finish the job? Leave Iran just the way it is right now. What would the future be like? I think most of us know that Iran is not going to change. Until the people rise up and overthrow the IRGC, we are stuck with the status quo. And what the IRGC wants more than anything else right now is to survive. Survive to become strong again, so they can practice hegemony in the region. And yes - to rid the world of the Big Satan (us) and the Little Satan (Israel).

With Russia knocking at the door of NATO, with China getting ready to do something awful to Taiwan, and with the Norks still eyeing South Korea - we don't have the time nor the resources to put up with an adventuresome Iran. The smart money still lies on finishing these guys and doing it before August is over. But to finish them means real war, not just this ariel target practice. What does real war feel like over there? Maybe we should ask the Israelis. They have been doing it for years.
