Spent a lot of time trying to “induce” my new iPhone 13 Pro Max to identify people.
Argh!
Seems it needs “time to think” about iding people — locked and on power. Argh! What was it doing last night?

And, there is no way to “tag” photos for future purposes.

I’m not sure Google Photos on Android or the web is much better.

Sen. Graham says it would be ‘a great service’ if a Kremlin official killed Putin
By Jesse O’Neill and Samuel Chamberlain
March 4, 2022 12:19am Updated
*** begin quote ***
US Sen. Lindsey Graham called on Russians to assassinate President Vladimir Putin on Thursday night, as Ukraine pleaded with the West to fight the “nuclear terror.”
Graham (R-SC), 66, made the call to action on Twitter as he compared Putin to Roman dictator Julius Caesar and Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
“Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?” Graham wrote.
*** end quote ***
Maybe if Senator Graham was more familiar with the US Constitution, then he’d know there was a Constitutional appropriate way for Congress to express its disapproval.
https://www.heritage.org/constitution/#!/articles/1/essays/50/marque-and-reprisal
*** begin quote ***
Marque and Reprisal
ARTICLE I, SECTION 8, CLAUSE 11
The Congress shall have Power To …grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal….
At the time of the Founding, the sovereign of any nation could authorize holders of “letters of marque and reprisal” to engage in hostile actions against enemies of the state. The common understanding of “Reprisal” is a seizure of property (or sometimes persons) of a foreign state as redress for an injury committed by that state. Because the word “Marque” is the French equivalent of “Reprisal,” the constitutional term “Marque and Reprisal” is best understood as a single phrase.
The only serious debate over the meaning of the Marque and Reprisal Clause is not whether it extends to authorizing private parties (known as “privateers”) to engage in reprisals for private, commercial gain. Rather, it centers on whether the clause gives Congress authority over all forms of hostilities short of declared wars.
That debate mirrors the larger war powers debate over the Declare War Clause. Supporters of congressional power construe the Declare War Clause and the Marque and Reprisal Clause jointly to cover all forms of armed conflict, from covert action to a full and open armed conflict. Under this reading, the President lacks any power whatsoever to initiate hostilities (except perhaps defensively to repel invasions), no matter their scope. They contend that the Declare War Clause requires Congress to authorize wars, whereas the Marque and Reprisal Clause requires Congress to authorize lower level hostilities, whether by public forces or by privateers.

Authored by Mike Shedlock via MishTalk.com, …many did not think the EU would play the SWIFT card on Russia. It turns out they were correct… SWIFT is the international payment system. Cutting off a top country from SWIFT access is a very big deal.
Source: So Many Holes In SWIFT Sanctions On Russia, They Are Useless
*** begin quote ***
The ban will only come into effect in ten days, which will allow the Russians to reorganise their banking system, and we presume, re-route payments through banks that are not affected by the sanctions. What this means is that the Swift ban falls into the SINO category: sanctions in name only. The EU is cheering on the Ukrainian side from a safe distance, watching from warm living rooms, heated by Russian gas.
*** end quote ***
# – # – # – # – #
I like that SINO term.
I always try to follow the money.
In this case, I don’t see much pressure on Russia. Especially since the Biden / Obama coup in Ukraine to displace a democratically elect but favorable to Russia leader is the root of all this trouble.
That and the promises not to extend NATO made by lots of prior administrations.
How silly was it of Russia and Ukraine to even listen to American “promises”? I think that Ghadafi in Lybia, Sadam in Iraq, and a vast number of others could serve as suitable examples.
Argh!

East Brunswick can condemn 80 acres along Route 18 for redevelopment, court rules
Susan Loyer — MyCentralJersey.com — March 2 @ 5AM
*** begin quote ***
EAST BRUNSWICK – A Superior Court judge has upheld the township’s ability to condemn about 80 acres in the Route 18 corridor for redevelopment.
Judge Thomas Daniel McCloskey affirmed a 2017 Township Council resolution finding that the properties met the requirements of a redevelopment area under the New Jersey Local Redevelopment and Housing Law.
*** and ***
The properties that challenged the township’s redevelopment designation are owned by Christiana Enterprises, LLC, operating as Sweeney’s Auto Repair & Gulf Gas Station, 229 Route 18; Tongbu LLC, which runs a professional/office building at 223 Route 18 South; SL Property Holding LLC, doing business as Rt. 18 Carpet at 261 Route 18 South; and Office Depot, Inc., which previously operated at 257 Route 18 South.
*** and ***
The project will include a transportation center, mixed-use buildings, hotel, tech center and a medical services office. The plan also includes restaurants with outdoor dining, shops, pedestrian walkways, bike paths, water features, a central public plaza, multiple open public greenways and an outdoor amphitheater to promote outdoor gathering and community events, as well as an environmentally sustainable indoor/outdoor pet facility.
*** end quote ***
The Gooferment is just a Gand written large. Sorry but it’s a shame that the criminal gang can steal property.
*** begin quote ***
“We are extraordinarily happy that the judge sided with the township in what we did in naming this area an area in need of redevelopment,” Mayor Brad Cohen said. “The judge’s decision unambiguously supports the township’s efforts and encourages us to continue moving forward with our plan.”
*** end quote ***
So a Gooferment “judge” (aka bureaucrat) can decide that some other Gooferment bureaucrats (aka “the Township”) can steal property from their rightful owners under the guise of “law”.
*** begin quote ***
“… … if you’re one or two businesses that were fortunate enough to have survived in an area that’s clearly fallen into disrepair and underutilized, you don’t have the right to individually stop the process.”
*** end quote ***
Screw you little guy. You were lucky enough to suvive because Customers valued your service, but we know what is “best”.
Argh!
Will this blog post stop the theft? No. It didn’t stop Kelo in CT either. But look what happened there. After stealing people houses, the deal fell thru and all that’s left is vacant land. It would be beyond ironic if the same thing happened here.
Wonder who will get paid off as a result of this? I’m sure there will be lots of money sloshing around. And, I bet the Taxpayers will pay too.
Argh!

*** begin quote ***
Virtual Currencies
Virtual currency transactions are taxable by law just like transactions in any other property. Taxpayers transacting in virtual currency may have to report those transactions on their tax returns.
What is Virtual Currency?
Virtual currency is a digital representation of value that functions as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and/or a store of value. In some environments, it operates like “real” currency (i.e., the coin and paper money of the United States or of any other country that is designated as legal tender, circulates, and is customarily used and accepted as a medium of exchange in the country of issuance), but it does not have legal tender status in the U.S. Cryptocurrency is a type of virtual currency that utilizes cryptography to validate and secure transactions that are digitally recorded on a distributed ledger, such as a blockchain.
Virtual currency that has an equivalent value in real currency, or that acts as a substitute for real currency, is referred to as “convertible” virtual currency. Bitcoin is one example of a convertible virtual currency. Bitcoin can be digitally traded between users and can be purchased for, or exchanged into, U.S. dollars, Euros, and other real or virtual currencies.
*** end quote **
Sounds like they are defining “money”!
We don’t tax when “dollars” (i.e., Federal Reserve Note fiat greenbacks) are converted to Euros or visa versa. So why are we taxed on “Virtual Currencies”? For that matter, why are we taxed when buying gold or silver? Doesn’t the Constitution define a “dollar” as an amount of gold or silver?
Argh!
Guess the IRS is going have a hard time finding all the non-custodial crypto wallets!!!

If they can keep drugs out their prisons, how will the keep crypto out of a free society?

Key takeaways from President Biden’s State of the Union address
By Emily Crane
March 2, 2022
*** begin quote ***
Tackling rising inflation
Biden said investment was needed in US manufacturing capacity in a bid to lower prices, speed up supply chains and boost American jobs.
“I think I have a better idea to fight inflation: lower costs, not your wages,” Biden said. “Instead of relying on foreign supply chains, let’s make it in America.”
*** end quote ***
“inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon” — Nobel laureate Milton Friedman
So how can it “controlled” by any other action than “END THE FED”.
The Dead Old White Guys knew that inflation was tyranny from the phrase “Not worth a Continental damn”. Hence the Constitutional restriction that only gold and silver could be “money”. A restriction conveniently ignored by the politicians and bureaucrats in the early 1900’s.
How did that slip by the Supreme Court?)
For the better part of the 1800’s, “prices” were stable or declining. (Money supply was relatively static while the supply of goods & services increased.). Everyone could save their cash and it would retain it’s value.
In the 1960’s, the money supply was inflated by FED “printing” and the purchasing power dropped dramatically (i.e., my favorite example is “penny candy”!).
Argh!

Analysis: Push for Green Energy Not Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine Driving up Oil Prices, Threatening Security
PENNY STARR — 28 Feb 2022452
*** begin quote ***
The website oilprice.com posted an analysis about how the push for green energy years before Russia invaded Ukraine – and on steroids since Joe Biden became president – is to blame for soaring oil prices and foreign policy weakness.
The analysis begins with a story about a team from MetalMinder, “the largest metals-related media site in the U.S.”, on a trip to Germany in 2018 where they discovered people’s health suffered from coal pollution because after the Japanese Fukushima nuclear disaster it began shutting down its nuclear energy operations.
“In hindsight, that decision by Germany appears both foolish and ironic,” the team concluded. “Foolish because Germany has lost its negotiating power (pun intended) with Russia for which it relies. It’s ironic because the country already had ‘clean energy’ but now must turn back to dirty energy to avoid blackouts.”
Germany on Friday shut down half of the six nuclear plants it still has in operation, a year before the country draws the final curtain on its decades-long use of atomic power. The decision to phase out nuclear power and shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy was first taken by the center-left government of Gerhard Schroeder in 2002. His successor, Angela Merkel, reversed her decision to extend the lifetime of Germany’s nuclear plants in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster in Japan and set 2022 as the final deadline for shutting them down.The three reactors now being shuttered were first powered up in the mid-1980s. Together they provided electricity to millions of German households for almost four decades.
*** end quote ***
Greenies refuse to recognize that nuclear power is a “clean energy” source.
Argh!
How stupid are politicians and bureaucrats?
The free market would use prices and profits to ensure that all needs are met.
