In case you’ve missed it, someone did something to something in Baltimore.

So we hear that: “The 948-foot ship, Dali, was chartered by the Danish shipping company Maersk and was en route to Colombo, Sri Lanka.”

There are a lot of questions surrounding this and I have one that’s bugging me: What is in all of those containers heading for Sri Lanka? What could we possibly have been exporting to an Asian country that sits just off of the coast of India. We offer needed wares at competitive prices to Sri Lanka?

It’s not like this small island nation is just around the block from Baltimore, which (because I see a conspiracy behind every tree) has me thinking something smells about this whole Sri Lanka story line.

An Update: A little research shows that Sri Lanka imports 396 million dollars annually from the United States. about 100 million dollars of that is agricultural products. 40 million in fabric and 15 million in petroleum based items. That ship could easily hold 100 percent of the entire annual imports that the US provides to Sri Lanka (less the Soy).

Wonder how long it will be before this story changes?

I guess Ms Swift enjoys the same sort of public adoration as the royalty in Great Britain do/did. Folks hang on every word, every facial expression evaluated against a backdrop of R and D politics and current events. The public’s keen ear picking out what was said or left unsaid; a constant evaluation of what may be on the mind of this maiden. Such is the life of Diva.

That she is pretty much an airhead politically means little to those that are D’s, someone in high social station associates with their team and all is right with the world. Were she an R then the strait laced of that party would be showering her with their conservative accolades. It’s OK to be naive politically if you are on the right team. What she is so very adept at is ‘image management’. There are not many folk who can capture the hearts and minds of the D’s while floating around the world in a couple of their own aircraft.

Now one of the problems that those who travel in the rare airs of the Diva have is folk are ascribing meaning to actions (or inaction), They are hanging on every event, every squint, a twinkle of the eye has them furiously banging the keyboard to advise the world of what amazing thing is occurring in Divaland.

Now that Kelce is slipping in and out those bed sheets, you would reasonably expect that he would forgo one or more of the pleasures only bachelors, or those wanting to be bachelors, enjoy. Not that this would be demanded of him by the owner of the sheets, but rather as a sign of good will/intent between the couple.

The world could reasonably expect to see a little less of the Kelce of old (shown below).

That, however, is not how the press presented it. Enter Ms. Beth Silliday of ‘In Touch’ who has decided that Kelce forbearance was actually Ms Swift’s demand: “The Ohio native previously talked about going to adult-entertainment venues on his “New Heights” podcast with brother Jason Kelce. He even supported the Crazy Horse 3 Las Vegas strip club by wearing one of their T-shirts to a November 2023 football game, but those days are over. Travis “is fine not going to strip clubs anymore,” as that’s one of the “Cruel Summer” artist’s “hard rules,” the insider told the publication. However, “she also doesn’t want him posing for photographs with female fans, mostly to avoid inaccurate headlines.” Since Travis has a legion of female Chiefs fans, “He had to roll his eyes at that one,” the insider said.

Who is this infamous insider? Outside of the phantom of the mind do they exist at all, or is this an example of why ‘journalists’ are permitted to maintain the confidentiality of their sources (cause they don’t exist).

I’m calling bull shit on this entire ‘insider’ crap. Ms Beth just made this shit up and attributed the words to Ms Diva. Beth knows what the Diva knows, it is impossible for the Diva to battle against the thousands of Pulitzer winner wannabees who crank out this nonsense on a twice daily basis. Even if the Diva was aware of what words were being place in her ruby red lips, she’d have a hard time stating that it was OK for Kelce to continue on as he had in the past.

Don’t know if Ms Silliday is a member of the 4th estate or is merely a 5th estate blogger with delusions of grandeur, but for those that hang on every word of the new Princess of American royalty, a D, it matters little. That folks is a problem. When it doesn’t matter if it’s a lie or not, as long as it paints your team (R or D) in a positive light then its another proof that we are a nation in decline.

It’s no secret that I have high disdain for a 4th estate that lies and conceals information our citizens need to make informed decisions. Unfortunately those efforts are so very effective as our population is more content to pull up a lawn chair and watch the show than they are to run a little ‘Dick and Jane logic’ test on what is being forced down our collective throats.

Here are the first three paragraphs of the article, but before we go there, the entire title and subtitle (above) is deceitful. It implies that any negative information you have about hunter is fake/fraud because it is sourced from the boogieman. It also implies that the only source of information on Biden was from this ‘discredited’ source (when it isn’t/ wasn’t )

Article: Prosecutors also said Alexander Smirnov has been “actively peddling new lies that could impact US elections” after meeting with Russian spies late last year and that the fallout from his previous false bribery accusations about the Bidens “continue[s] to be felt to this day.”

To which I say: You’ll notice that It does not say that the Russians are the source of the ‘new lies’, but the author is adept at leading you to that conclusion. If you read it carefully, the ‘new lies’ are distinct and different from ‘his previous’ false bribery accusations which by the way is being tested in the House right now with many, many witnesses.

Article: Smirnov claims to have “extensive and extremely recent” contacts with foreign intelligence officials, prosecutors said in the filing. They said he previously told the FBI that he has longstanding and extensive contacts with Russian spies, including individuals he said were high-level intelligence officers or command Russian assassins abroad.

To which I say: Yep got it, he gets inside information from foreign intelligence agents. Where did you think it came from? The source may make the information suspect, but that doesn’t make it false. OBTW, here is what a snake looks and sounds like as they twist words in remarkable ways to suit their nefarious deeds. Of note, what goes unsaid is that he (Brennan) is relying on Russian agents to reach the conclusions he comes to….the very thing they are accusing Smirnov of.

Article: Prosecutors with special counsel David Weiss’ team said Tuesday that Smirnov has maintained those ties and noted that, in a post-arrest interview last week, “Smirnov admitted that officials associated with Russian intelligence were involved in passing a story about Businessperson 1,” referring to President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.

To which I say: David Weiss? The same David Weiss that tried to sneak absolution for Hunter Biden past a sleeping public last year? These folk have so little respect for the intelligence of our citizenry that they’ll push out that looser before us again. Finally, they cannot help themselves and need to repeat that the whistleblower associated with intelligence officials so I’ll repeat myself as well (from a slightly different vector) no one in our government was going to provide us with the truth, so if it hadn’t come from them then who?

Here is a little reminder of the type of folks were dealing with.

Absolute bottom line: Russia, Russia, Russia….yep, I got it.

An article out of California popped up this morning (here) talking about the brown boots out that way confiscating a butt load (248) of weapons and a platoon’s butt load (over a million) rounds of ammunition.

After due deliberation (3 seconds after reading the last paragraph in the article) I’ve determined the objective of the author and the publication (Business Insider) is not to inform but rather to inflame the public, scare children and startle the dog.

A short while before reaching the end of the article I saw the photo below. I see what looks like an air-cool 60 in the background and what resembles a Maw Deuce (M2) in the foreground . I have no idea what that rail is on the top of the M2.

Then it hit me, this guy has a federal firearms license. They are not handing out FFL to whomever asks. I hear that to get one in California requires you bring KY Jelly with you to your interview. And yes, a sit down with one of the friendly Industry Operations Investigators (IOI) cadre of the BATF is required.

The last sentence in the article? “The state’s Armed and Prohibited Persons System, established in 2006, tracks people who lawfully bought and owned firearms but were later barred from possessing them.”

If the owner lawfully bought them previously then he must have had a FFL. Knowing the love that the pencil necks in the state legislatures (and the manly-man governor )have for the 2nd amendment, you can J walk in California and they’ll grab your weapons.

BTW, what is most chilling about that little statement pegged to the bottom of the article is that in order to ‘track people who lawfully bought guns and then became prohibited from possessing them’ one must first track all gun purchases. It’s all about the electrons baby and those electron are cozy’d up in a warm little data base just waiting to be called into service.

My best guess is that the cash value less all taxes (net) is right at $140,000,000. I’m in !

Here is a little place on the coast that I thought would make a nice place to set up in on weekends and reflect on the tragic world we live in.

The tragedy? According to the spot-on sarcasm over at Genesius Times (The Most Reliable Source of Fake News on the Planet), the nation mourns:

Other reasons one might have to mourn is the incredible ignorance that floods blog-o-spheres everywhere:

Wish me luck on tonight’s drawing. I figure I’ve got a 50/50 chance of winning (I either win or I don’t)

Most folks look at the headlines on news sites and rarely drill down into the actual article to gather more information. In today’s America that’s proving to be a bad practice.

The lead in twice states that Fox burned Trump; once in the title and once in the summary. Unless you clicked through to get to the actual article do you find that it’s bullshit.

The question we should be asking ourselves is why report on the falsehood at all? I’m guessing that there is more going on here that the drumming up of clicks. My guess is that smart folk someplace are creating articles like this for dual purposes: to spread disinformation about the event (given that most folk don’t go past the headline/summary) and reinforce the bias of the D’s in advance of the November 2024 Circus election.

My life, I guess, would be much more enjoyable if I could just quit questioning the intent of our overlords and the minions they’ve enlisted to message us. Our lives would be like:

About the only way to battle back against the damning ‘Joe’s an Idiot’ report out of the DOJ is to have the news media circle the wagons and confuse the issue as only they can. Take a look at headline below and then read the first sentence under that. I thought we were going to talk about Biden?.

I guess an editor someplace thought that wasn’t confusing enough and the only patriotic thing to do was make the entire issue as un-understandable as possible, here is how it reads:

An overwhelming majority of Americans think President Joe Biden is too old to serve another term, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll.

According to the poll, conducted using Ipsos’ Knowledge Panel, 86% of Americans think Biden, 81, is too old to serve another term as president. That figure includes 59% of Americans who think both he and former President Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner, are too old and 27% who think only Biden is too old.

Lets see if I understand: the 86% that think Joe is too old is made up, in part, by the 59% that think Trump is too old? If I exclude the Trump numbers do Joe’s rise to only 27 percent?

Is it ‘their’ intent to create so much damage to the credibility of the 4th estate that it will no longer matter whether what is being reported is true (or not) as no one has any faith in the media.

Those elements of the media that are meeting the issue head on are not being kind to the stumbling old man.

I’ll say it once again, the only person that thinks Joe is just fine is Joe. That being the case, the person with the least objective view on his ability to serve is Joe himself. And yet they push him out in front of the cameras with the whole world wondering if this is just a bad SNL skit.

One final point on how obvious his senility is: AI wouldn’t touch it. Not a peep from that ‘helpful’ little algorithm that dominates every response on Yahoo. Even it knew better than to defend the indefensible.

Seems like the western press might have been holding back on us a little.

The DOJ released the Special Councils report on Old Joe’s mishandling of classified information.  Accompanying the release was the explanation (misdirection by the way) of why he wouldn’t be charged:  the jury would be sympathetic to an aged old man loosing his memory.  In fact, the reason he won’t be charged is he is not fit to stand trial. 

What is telling is that the DOJ said the silent part out loud:  He is unfit for office.  That is damning not only to the President, but also speaks volumes about the group of weasels that prop up this walking sock puppet.  If you have/had any doubts about the existence of The Deep State consider the depth and breadth of the deception visited upon the citizens of our nation. OBTW, there is a broad swath of brainiacs that still deny there are little men behind the green curtain pulling the levers. They will not easily abandon the belief that you and I are conspiracy theorists and that all remains well in the city along the Potomac .

If an investigator picked up on his incompetence in a simple interview, surely those with a seat at the table knew his elevator had quit functioning sometime in the distant past.  Here then is an indicator of just how hosed the nation is: not one of the thousands of folk that knew of his incompetence said a fuqen word.  Not a peep.  Was this because they lacked ‘free choice’? Nope. It was because they would sacrifice the country (indeed the future of the free world) in order to save their own jobs and the perks that flow therefrom.  

That this guy is incompetent is not news, that little secret has been in the public domain from the time he started staying in his basement to run for public office.  What is news is that a series of ‘someones’ decided that now is the time to deep six his administration. 

I don’t blame Biden, he is probably the only person within the halls of Whitehouse and the vast administration that didn’t know he was well beyond his use-by date.  I blame all those around him that would do whatever it took, including destroying the nation in order to satisfy their need to self actualize in the Democratic party. 

New news would be an investigation into who knew this guy was this far gone and when they knew it.  Those heads need to roll.

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving group of folk.

Ms Karine Grabapussy’s pained face during her response is priceless. Most telling is that even the paid propagandist couldn’t even take a try at explaining the unexplainable.

Knicky had a rough night in Nevada; loosing by more than 32 points to ‘None of the Above’. I haven’t found Mr. Above’s victory speech nor is there a concession speech splattered across cyberspace by the former ambassador. There must be a tremendous financial upside compelling her forge on well past the use by date. Who is she working for?

Time to pass the hat for poor Taylor Swift. Having been nominated for 54 Grammy’s and bringing home no less than 14, America’s sweetheart has landed on skid row and is forced to sell one of her two private jets. Pass the hat around folks.

Not that I particularly care about your health (my own being another matter altogether), but I was kinda/sorta intrigued by the company that issued a nation wide recall on dairy products: Rizo Lopez. They are recalling 61 products including cheese, yogurt, and sour cream (crema) sold under 13 brand names. The real news here, for us in the general population, is we are operating under the false perception that we are choosing from an array of alternatives in the market place when what we really have are choices in the packaging.

Breitbart says: “26 Americans have been stricken with the virus, with another 23 hospitalized in 11 states.” Which means, if their reporting is correct, that 49 Americans have been stricken. But, alas their reporting is not correct: The CDC says that a total of 26 have been effected and 23 of them have been hospitalized.

While it’s a damn shame that we have to fact check everything we see, hear, or read, the future may bring changes that will remove that ‘burden’ from our tool kit.

From Microsoft: Microsoft is launching several collaborations with news organizations to adopt generative AI. In a year where billions of people will vote in democratic elections worldwide, journalism is critical to creating healthy information ecosystems, and it is our mission, working with the industry, to ensure that newsrooms can innovate to serve this year and in the future.

The good news is that Microsoft is teaming with the a firm called Semafor to get this effort off of the ground. Semafor is a firm founded by notorious former Buzzfeed editors Ben Smith and Justin Smith. The hits keep on coming.

This is a perfect example of how our world is evolving: A bad AI produced piece on the death of Mike Gill?

Or, it could be what now passes as journalism. This at the bottom of the article.

In either case I do expect that there are powerful interests that benefit from ignorant societies. I guess it doesn’t much matter if that ignorance is born from misinformation or from mistrust.

Even Breitbart cannot seem to give an article a quick smell test before going to print:

The Miami Herald and Telegraph (respectively) below:

Then, whenever the narrative gets uncomfortable, we can count on the gatekeepers to shield us from unapproved thought.

It’s a good thing that we are no longer teaching follow on generations how to think (vice how to access a search engine) who knows how much damage could be done.

It’s that time of year. When December rolls around many of the subscriptions that I have on my site are up for renewal. They all come at a cost and are billed to the secured payment facility I’ve established with the firm. About a two weeks prior to expiration, the providers hit my account and notify me that the payment was made and provide me a receipt.

The scammers have bots that float around the web-o-sphere and divine when various certificates and features are due to expire and then create nifty little notes (as below) to separate folk from their cash and hijack their site.

I got this one a short while ago

Not the ‘climate change’ disaster, that’s still on. The averted disaster was the premature end to the UN generated climate change Ponzi Scheme. For a short while it looked like the announcement of a successful nuclear fusion demonstration would slam the breaks on that money generating power grab. Here (below) is the corner of the rapidly wetted blanket that’s being thrown on that little glimmer of hope/sanity.

The latest: Despite the scientists conducting the experiment stating that there was a 20 percent net gain in energy the climate cartel is saying that it actually used 100 times as much energy as it produced. I’m no math pro, but these two sets of numbers don’t do much to reinforce my faith in the scientific community.

Just to make sure you stay the course on funding the madness, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change continues to say the world must cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 if it is to avoid warming to the point that irreversible and catastrophic climate change effects, such as massive glacier collapse, are virtually guaranteed.

Damn, this sounds serious. I’ve got some late breaking new on this front that I think the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change might want to be aware of: cutting emissions in half by 2030 ain’t gonna hap’n. And because it ain’t gonna hap’n and these clowns ain’t gonna go quietly into the night (as long as there is money to be made), I’ve got to put up with the endless tales of doom and gloom for the rest of my natural life.

Shit, this is worse than having the crabs.

I did a quick scan of the news this morning, not much change. While almost every publication/site is practicing spreading their pixie dust deceptions, some really blatant examples come to the fore. Here are a choice few:

If you didn’t know better, you would have thought that Trump pardoned Snowden; that simply isn’t so. When you get into the article the author ‘supposes’ that republicans would disagree about a pardon.

Again, if you weren’t paying attention you’d of thought that the military is on alert. Not so. Then there is this gem that would have you think that the National Guard has been called out. ‘The biggest mobilization since WW2’!

I’m happy to report that almost every single guardsmen in the country is at home with their family.

Finally, here is a cute example of the press forcing the racial narrative by implying that this good doctor was denied care as a Kung Flu patient. Wrong again, she was denied narcotics some time ago, before she ever contract the virus, when the physician that was treating her was concerned about administering addictive drugs.

Why do I have the distinct feeling that this deception is going to grow worse with the incoming administration?

In every possible way, across every medium, we are being led like sheep to the slaughter.

We will see how this whole thing fleshes out, but regardless of who ultimately prevails one thing is certain: the pollsters have been playing the public like a finely tuned instrument.

We can all take heart in another simple truth, Plugs believed the crap his handlers produced so much that he dragged is tired old ass out for public ridicule. That ridicule will come if he looses and, should he win, when Kneepads Harris pushes him aside.

The deceit within the fourth estate is getting more than obvious. Take the amazing crowd that showed up for the Biden event (upper frame below); turns out it was a Trump event mislabeled by the kids over at CNN. These are the same folk that are going to report (fair and balanced I suppose) the outcome of the Presidential election.

We are so hosed!

Truth is:

Little bitch says:

NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace says he’s “pissed” members of the public are now questioning his integrity after the FBI said a noose found in his garage stall this week was there before his team moved in.”

“I’m mad because people are trying to test my character and the person that I am and my integrity,” he told CNN’s Don Lemon Tuesday night.”

Talking to Lemon, Wallace said the image he saw of “what was hanging in my garage is not a garage pull.” **

“It was a noose,” Wallace said. “Whether tied in 2019 or whatever, it was a noose. So, it wasn’t directed at me but somebody tied a noose. That’s what I’m saying.”

On Tuesday night, he said he continued to stand by what he said.”

“This will not break me, none of the allegations of being a hoax will break me or tear me down,” he said.”

“It will piss me off, absolutely. But that only fuels the competitive drive in me to shut everybody up,” he added.”

So NASCAR was so damn quick to blame/abandon their fans for a few minutes in the ‘I’m also woke’ lime light that they quit any pretense of reason or rationality. What a joke. Defund the bastards.

** If I’m reading this correctly, Wallace never even saw the rope, just a picture of the rope. What a lousy victim !

They’re hard at work over at Drudge. The masters want chaos and far be it for Drudge to not immediately go to their knees to comply.

What a sad, sad, state of affairs for our once free press.

Meanwhile, I get the follow from a reader in Arizona:

Hey Garry
I live in the central highlands of Arizona. Deaths from COVID Went up here in Yavapai County; from 6 to 7. It’s shameful when truth is plowed under in order to plant a crop of lies! Stay vigilant my friend
