INTERESTING: Where is Africa, Europe, South America, and the USA actually?
Friday, November 4, 2022Misconceptions
Some common geographic mental misplacements
John Nelson
*** begin quote ***
So what are some tantalizing locational mistakes that seemingly come pre-installed in American students’ minds that geography teachers wrestle to overcome?
So glad you asked! Here is a cherry-picked handful of examples that we’ll dive into…
- The northiness of Africa
- The northiness of Europe
- The eastiness of South America
*** end quote ***
I think I knew these but it was good to get a feel for EXACTLY where these places are.
How does your mental map square with reality?

ECONOMICS: Social Security is a Ponzi scheme that is a national disaster and getting worse
Thursday, November 3, 20227 Facts Biden Ignored About Social Security in His Speech to Florida Retirees
Rachel Greszler / November 02, 2022
- Rachel Greszler is a research fellow in economics, budget, and entitlements in the Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, of the Institute for Economic Freedom, at The Heritage Foundation. Read her research.
*** begin quote ***
Social Security is a bad deal for current and future workers. Social Security may have been a good deal for Biden’s generation, but it’s not a good deal for current and future workers. A Heritage Foundation analysis showed that the average younger worker could receive nearly three times as much as Social Security can provide if they were instead able to save Social Security taxes in their own retirement accounts. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.) Even low-wage workers making about $20,000 a year could have 40% larger incomes in retirement as a result of saving on their own. And personal savings can be passed on to family members or friends, something that’s especially important for lower-income Americans, who are less likely to be able to save outside of Social Security and also for individuals with shorter life expectancies. One in five black men will die between the ages of 45 and 65, meaning they will pay tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars into Social Security and could get little or nothing in return.
*** end quote ***
It’s often been asserted and proved that Social Security is a racist program that transfers wealth from poor minority men to rich white women.
If for no other reason, it needs to be eliminated. I’m sure the financial gurus can transform the unfunded liabilities fairly. Yes, it will be painful and not pretty. I can foresee the under 40 participants getting a 25+ year bonds for their “benefit”. The 40 to 67 get a similar but non-transferable bond ladder. Current recipients will have to be paid out of the current budget. It’s going to require pain, but it’s better than future financial disaster when all the politicians and bureaucrats who created the mess are long dead.
Argh!

GUNS: Could the US Gooferment ever sieze all the guns?
Thursday, November 3, 2022FROM QUORA
Kelly Jones
Knows a bit about firearms, and about physics
*** begin quote ***
If firearm confiscation were to become law, and gun owners fought against it, how many fatalities of either police or civilians would gun control activists be willing to accept before abandoning the effort?
Why would there be ANY fatalities?
Let’s think about the sides here:
On one side, you have gun owners, who aren’t willing to surrender their rights. They have guns.
On that same side, you have police, who (for the most part) are in favor of ‘civilian’ ownership of guns, and who (for the most part) have taken an oath to defend the constitution. They, also, have guns.
The only ones on the other side are the misguided citizens and politicians who illegally voted for gun confiscation. They, for the most part, have no guns. How, exactly, are they going to pose a lethal threat to the other side? This just seems like a non-starter, and possibly the shortest conflict ever.
The only question is, how will the victors handle those who sought to deprive them of their rights?
*** end quote ***
Sorry, but it is an interesting “thought experiment”.
I’d think it would be interesting to consider what would happen in the “inner city” first. I’ve often written that the drug gangs would be a fine example of a guerrilla militia since Viet Nam. Farmed by day; warrior by night. The police can’t currently control the guns in the streets today under today’s rules. What will happen if the elite Gooferment officials (i.e., ivory tower politicians and bureaucrats) declare it “open season”. I doubt that police would enforce those orders.
Now let’s consider what happens in the rural areas where the average hunter may have better and more practiced with arms. That’s not going to be pretty.
Now let’s consider all the arm chair keyboard warriors. I’d bet that half give up their guns, but the other half would give a good account of “from my cold dead hands”. That will be be a blood bath.
In short, it would be short, bloody, and a reaffirmation of the RKBA.
Consider that in the USA there are probably a lot more guns than people. And, those trains will not be loading willing participants.
Most patriots will remember the Holocaust, the Japanese American interment, the Trail of Tears, and Gooferment’s violent history of suppression here and abroad.
Yes, how will the trials after work out for the gun grabbers.
Hope it never comes to that.
Peace.

How physics and a video game trick forever changed the NASCAR Championships
Wednesday, November 2, 2022If you’ve ever driven a car, you know how important it is for your tires to grip the road. As long as your tires aren’t slipping along the road, you remain in control of your vehicle; when you turn your steering wheel, the angle at which your tires grip the road changes, propelling you forward with an accompanying change in direction.
Source: How physics and a video game trick forever changed the NASCAR Championships
*** begin quote ***
For whatever it’s worth, Chastain’s final lap time, where he incorporated this video game-inspired strategy into his driving, was 18.845 seconds: the fastest lap in the 75 year history of this track. The move will likely inspire copycats in the future, forcing NASCAR to evaluate the dangers inherent in wall-riding during the final lap. At some point, they’ll have to make a decision as to whether this risky maneuver will remain legal, or whether the risks are too great to allow it.
*** end quote ***
One always has to look at the “constraints” to see if you can “cheat” nature and win.
A good lesson for anyone tempted to “follow the crowd”.

POLITICAL: Here’s a lady ranting about human trafficking — who care who doesn’t want to hear it
Wednesday, November 2, 2022https://media.gab.com/system/media_attachments/files/118/819/695/playable/c7220434ede8c9b5.mp4
Lara is asking important questions, you may not like how she asks them and the fact she is asking them; I love it. Bravery
Dr. Paul Alexander
Oct 26
# – # – # – # – #
There’s no transcript of @Laura Logan’s rant but in a nutshell she points to human trafficking of children across the border who then “disappear” to who knows where.
That’s upsetting and outrageous. These children are human beings and deserve to be treated humanely.
It also brings to mind Epstein’s and Maxwell’s “little black book of Clients” that has never been disclosed.
The Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy. And, this lady needs o ur support to expose the truth.
Argh!

TINFOILHAT: FDA in complicity & collusion with CDC & Pfizer were NEVER … going for approval
Tuesday, November 1, 2022FDA in complicity & collusion with CDC & Pfizer were NEVER ever going to grant BLA ‘full’ licensure approval of COVID vaccine; was going to keep it ALWAYS on EUA; why? ineffective & harmful, could not pass thresholds to get full BLA, vaccine could not be granted BLA as is too harmful, FDA knew it & gave placebo group vaccine so study was OVER, only way then is via child immunization schedule
Dr. Paul Alexander
*** begin quote ***
… was explained this by FDA and CDC high level officials on condition of anonymity. FDA with the vaccine makers had their plan ALWAYS never ever grant BLA for the vaccine could not pass that test, and FDA officials knew they would go to jail for the vaccine killed and they could not get past that, so kept it on EUA, so always was headed to children immunization schedule, they concocted that scheme.
The American people have been defrauded and been lied to day one by FDA, CDC, NIH etc. All the officials. These are not just inept people, they are corruptible.
*** end quote ***
Seems like a “special prosecutor” is in order.
Personally, I always thought it was strange when the placebo group was vaccinated before the end of the trial.
They didn’t want any honest “study” of the drug. Tootin foil hat much money involved.
Special place in hell.
As tin foil hat Conspiracy Theories go, I’d call the a “Government & Commercial” one that is “3. More likely than not”!

GUNS: Armed citizen stops attack on pregnant woman
Monday, October 31, 2022Armed citizen stops attack on pregnant woman outside Florida grocery store
By Cam Edwards | 11:30 AM on October 26, 2022
*** begin quote ***
A bystander drew his gun on a man accused of beating and stomping on his pregnant girlfriend outside a Publix super market, ending the “brutal” attack, Florida deputies say. The incident occurred around 5:15 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22, in the parking lot of the Largo grocery store, according to an arrest affidavit. The woman told Pinellas County deputies that her boyfriend, Cole Danisment, 27, got angry and punched her in the face repeatedly. She fell to the ground, and Danisment is then accused of stomping on her head and upper body.
The woman told deputies that Danisment knew she was 14 weeks pregnant with his unborn child. A man who witnessed the attack said he feared for the woman’s life, prompting him to intervene. Danisment didn’t stop brutalizing the woman until the witness pulled a gun on him, according to the affidavit.
According to police, Danisment had a no-contact order issued just last week after another domestic violence arrest that prohibited him from being anywhere near the woman he allegedly assaulted. That court order didn’t stop him from allegedly carrying out the brutal assault of his girlfriend, obviously. It took a stranger who was lawfully carrying concealed to bring the attack to a close without it escalating any further.
*** end quote ***
Court orders don’t protect victims. A gun gives them a fighting chance.
The court order should come with a loaner gun and quick training session from the local sheriff or deputy.
And, if the domestic violence suspect comes close enough to be shot, then that is a de facto “good shooting”.

POLITICAL: Repeal the 17th and use their Home State discipline them
Sunday, October 30, 2022REPORT: Menendez under investigation… again?
October 26, 20221 min read Matt Rooney
*** begin quote ***
Allegations of unethical (or worse) behavior have dogged Bob Menendez for as long as he’s been in Washington. His 2017 bribery trial ended in a mistrial.
Is he under investigation… again?
According to Kadia Goba of Semafor, “[p]rosecutors in the Southern District of New York have contacted people connected to [U.S. Senator] Menendez in recent weeks” and “have sent at least one subpoena in the case.”
*** end quote ***
Remember when US Senators were held to high standards by their State Legislators? One wiff of scandal or impropriety and they were recalled and replaced.
There also were no such things as “unfunded mandates”.
Argh!
Repeal the 17th and eliminate “carpetbagging” and cut some of the money going into elections!
