POLITICAL: You can’t reason with crazy
Sunday, September 21, 2025Futility of Trying to Reason With Lunatics
- Widespread jubilation at the cold-blooded murder of Charlie Kirk reveals not only ideological possession, but also widespread mental illness.
John Leake — Sep 13, 2025
*** begin quote ***
For several years I’ve been turning over in my mind an idea that initially struck me as far-fetched, but now strikes me as a distinct possibility. Could it be that people suffering from some degree of mental illness are now heavily influencing or even directing cultural, political, and economic affairs? To put it more bluntly, are we now being constantly buffeted and even, in some jurisdictions, governed by lunatics?
*** and ***
I would rather take my chances at bull riding or venomous snake handing than try to reason with deranged college students.
*** end quote ***
I’m beginning to realize that expecting change from lunatics is like “waiting for Gidot”, the second coming, an honest politician, or the Second Coming.
As such, I’m going to stop trying. Best to keep to myself and my blog. Not that anyone cares.
Sadly, it’s frustrating to see things that are so OBVIOUS, and those things must be in Panes 3 and 4 of everyone’s Johari window. (the Hidden area known to self but not to others, and the Unknown area known neither to self nor others)
Sadly.
# – # – # – # – #
The Johari Window model is a tool used to improve self-awareness and interpersonal communication. It consists of four quadrants: the Open area (known to self and others), the Blind area (known to others but not to self), the Hidden area (known to self but not to others), and the Unknown area (known neither to self nor others), helping individuals understand their relationships better.

RANT: Here’s the interefernece I was referring to in my previous post
Friday, September 19, 2025Here’s the real reason ABC has suspended ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
By Charles Gasparino
Published Sep. 18, 2025, 10:31 a.m. ET
*** begin quote ***
Jimmy Kimmel’s comments on the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk weren’t just noxiously offensive and seemingly misleading — their timing was also incredibly bad: They threaten to derail Nexstar’s $6.2 billion takeover of rival broadcaster Tegna, telecom insiders tell On The Money.
The already controversial deal — which would combine two of the nation’s largest owners of local TV stations — poses significant antitrust questions and needs a close review by the Federal Communications Commission and its conservative firebrand chairman, Brendan Carr.
Kimmel’s comments made that approval even dicier. That’s why Nexstar publicly announced Thursday that its stations would no longer carry the show, telecom insiders tell On The Money. Ditto for ABC, which produces and distributes “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to broadcasters like Nexstar — and likewise has business before the FCC.
*** end quote ***
Here’s the conflict of interests!
It was wrong when the D’s did it. It’s still wronger when the R’s do it.
Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: DJT47 should find out if the Gooferment was involved in this suspension.
Friday, September 19, 2025Jimmy Kimmel reportedly ‘f–king livid’ over ABC pulling ‘Live!’ — as Trump cheers ‘great news for America’
By Anna Young
Published Sep. 17, 2025
Updated Sep. 17, 2025, 10:27 p.m. ET
*** begin quote ***
Jimmy Kimmel is reportedly “absolutely f–king livid” over ABC’s decision to ax his late-night talk show following backlash to his remarks about Charlie Kirk’s assassination — while President Trump cheered the move as “great news for America.”
The comedian, 57, was left fuming over the network’s Wednesday decision to suspend him and pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off the air “indefinitely” after he unleashed a hateful tirade against the gunned-down conservative activist during Monday night’s monologue, sources and producers told the Daily Mail.
*** and ***
Nexstar Media Group, the major broadcast company that serves as a primary affiliate for ABC, confirmed that it would “preempt” Kimmel’s program in the wake of his remarks.
*** and ***
But after Monday’s blunder, the FCC chairman says the only reasonable step for ABC, parent company Disney, and the Emmy-nominated host is to issue a public apology — noting that the network’s “unprecedented” rejection of Kimmel by broadcasters is “an important turning point” in the media.
“This action today by NexStar and Sinclair, frankly, it’s unprecedented,” Brendan Carr told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday.
*** end quote ***
Early reports indicated that Nexstar Media Group was seeking FCC approval for something. That seems to have “disappeared”. Was this a quid pro quo to make DJT47 happy? If so, it’s UNACCEPTABLE.
I’m no Jimmy Kimmel fan. BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), was this “suspension” rooted in politics. Sure seems so. When you see some of the many examples of “trash” that the broadcast networks air, this seems “mild”.
What would the FCC say about George Carlin now?
As much as I dislike Kimmel, this is just WRONG. And, he should get his show back on the air.
DJT47 should IMMEDIATELY:
- Find out any and all conversations between the FCC and ANY Gooferment bureaucrat with Nexstar Media Group and ANY ABC (or Disney).
- Fire anyone in the Gooferment who was involved in this affair. (The Gooferment, like Caesar’s wife must be above reproach.) Someone MIGHT have been trying to “please the boss” and gone way too far.
- Invite Kimmel to the White House, like he did with Bill Mahr, to have dinner and discuss this and many other topics.
- If Kimmel is starting a podcast or internet show like Tucker, then DJT47 should offer to be his first guest.
- Everyone, who purports to support the First Amendment, should let DJT47, Nexstar Media Group, ABC / Disney know that this is just wrong. (I will!)
What would Charlie Kirk be doing? Certainly, not trying to shut down an opinion. Any opinion.
Argh!

SECURITY: Don’t forget the old printer as a “data leak”
Thursday, September 18, 2025FROM TLDR Information Security 2025-09-10
*** begin quote ***
USB drives are still a problem – but they’re not your only data exfiltration risk (Sponsor)
While most organizations focus on blocking USB devices, attackers and insiders can just as easily steal data through network shares, cloud storage, or even local folder access. You need visibility and control over ALL storage access points.
*** end quote ***
Yeah, but I remember that brokers used to keep a shadow book at home. Meticulously copying or printing duplicates of “their” Client accounts.
Now it’s easy to just use your phone to take a picture. AI or software will even extract the text from the picture so no reentering data drudgery.
I’ve even seen utilities that will put files into QR codes for backup and recovery.
Never underestimate human inginuity to get what they want. Be it drugs, sex, money, or data.

POLITICAL: When to clean the slate and start the next cycle anew?
Wednesday, September 17, 2025https://survivalblog.com/2025/09/03/survivalblog-readers-editors-snippets-228/
SurvivalBlog Readers’ & Editors’ Snippets
James Wesley Rawles September 3, 2025
*** begin quote ***
Reader R.W. in Oregon had this comment:
“Well, it took a long time but I’ve come to the conclusion that politics is like the weather. People can bitch about it but there’s not a d*mn thing they can do about it. Politics is gonna happen with or without us.
Our votes haven’t meant sh*t since before reconstruction, the “Parties” and “Machines” captured or created by bankers and industrialists made short work of that. There’s no “Right” or “Left”, it’s just “Us” vs “Them”.
Thank God for people like Smedley Butler who had the courage to call it like it is. What he said applies to the entire world, not just us. Read: “Against the Grain”. Greed and avarice breed tyranny.
The most insightful, wise and thoughtful dissection of that premise, in my opinion, is still the Federalist Papers and various books of the Bible.
Eventually, every corrupt and rotting government finally picks a war (all wars are bankers wars) or drives their economy and culture into the ditch and the people won’t take it anymore. Our job is to know when to clean the slate and start the next cycle anew.
That is the one thing we can do. And, as we are one of the last peoples on this planet to retain that one very important right, the rest of the world is looking to us to do it.
*** end quote ***
A most interesting dictum to us all. When is enough enough?
Do we wait for “them” to start herding us in to freight cars? We know from history what comes after that!
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . .” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Or do we, like “quiet quitting” and “quiet firing”, just refuse to kowtow to ever more increasing intrusive demands, diktats, and “trends”?
I think that ₿itcoin is the first step. Instead of “saving” in “dollars”, I’m “saving” in ₿itcoins, GoldBacks, junk silver, and gold rounds. Let them figure out how to “inflate” those.
YMMV

NEWJERSEY: Mikie Sherrill’s voting record is bad news for the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee
Tuesday, September 16, 2025If given the chance? Sherrill will turn N.J. into a giant Charlotte light rail train.
September 10, 2025 — Matt Rooney
*** begin quote ***
I don’t care what a politician says, Save Jerseyans.
Especially once they’ve developed a record? I care what they actually do, and Mikie Sherrill’s voting record in the U.S. House of Representatives gives me reason to believe she’d be a law-and-order DISASTER as New Jersey governor.
New Jersey is already struggling under the current cashless bail regime, and as the stomach-churning murder of a young immigrant woman on Charlotte’s light rail system vividly illustrates, the consequences of having a leaders who aren’t tough on criminals are inevitably fatal.
*** end quote ***
Typical “democrat” soft on everything important!
For a veteran and pilot, I’d have expected a more realistic platform and record.
Not that the R is much better.
Argh!
To quote from the movie “The Far Side of the World” Master and Commander Capt. Jack Aubrey: “There! I have you! You’re completely dished. … one must always choose the lesser of two weevils?”
It’s just about as significant.

ENCOURAGING: “Forbidden” llists are counter-productive to censorship
Monday, September 15, 2025https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/from-forbidden-to-top-sellers?r=3snn7d
From Forbidden to Top Sellers
- If books are any indication, the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex is losing in the marketplace of ideas.
John Leake — Sep 09, 2025
*** begin quote ***
The dummies who tried to impose a censorship regime in the United States should have understood that their scheme wouldn’t work.
Key actors in the “censorship-industrial complex,” as Michael Shellenberger calls it, should have understood that their enterprise was doomed to fail, just as the Catholic Church’s Index Librorum Prohibitorum (Index of Forbidden Books), maintained between 1560 to 1966, was doomed to fail.
Notable authors on the Index included Jean-Paul Sartre, Michel de Montaigne, Voltaire, Denis Diderot, Victor Hugo, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, André Gide, Nikos Kazantzakis, Emanuel Swedenborg, Baruch Spinoza, Desiderius Erasmus, Immanuel Kant, David Hume, René Descartes, Francis Bacon, Thomas Browne, John Milton, John Locke, Nicolaus Copernicus, Niccolò Machiavelli, Galileo Galilei, Blaise Pascal, and Hugo Grotius.
Rather than censoring and banning ideas, it’s always better to discuss and debate them.
*** end quote ***
I remember in Catholic High Skrule each week, the Diocesan newspaper (I forget the name) would print the Forbidden Books and Forbidden Movies lists. And the good Christian Brothers would make a point of reminding us that these would damage our souls. Little did they realize it was, just like Adam and Eve, tempting us. I know everyone tried to read or see these “evil demons”. Most of us succeeded. Word quickly spread which were worth the effort and which weren’t. Laugh!
I don’t think it made a difference.
If I was the Principal I would have put the summer required reading list as “Prohibited” and it would have gotten read.
Sigh! Those were the “easy days”.

GUNS: Lessons from the Charlie Kirk assassination
Sunday, September 14, 2025Charlie Kirk assassin most likely ‘internet shooter’ who took advantage of low-security spot: elite sharpshooter
By Nicholas McEntyre
Published Sep. 11, 2025, 6:31 a.m. ET
*** begin quote ***
Ranstad believes the gunman used a high-powered rifle during Wednesday’s shooting.
“I don’t think it was an AR, the crack had too much base in it, not a crack like an AR,” he said, claiming it was either from a .308 bolt action or a 7.62 x 39mm.
He called on investigators to check local gun ranges for any unusual activities in the weeks leading up to Kirk’s murder.
“Any bloke can go to the range three or four times and make that shot. I would start looking at range time if I was police,” he told the outlet. “They should get all the videos, who’s got what rifle and who isn’t properly trained so don’t know how to control their blood pressure and adrenaline.
*** end quote ***
IMHO “easy shot”. 200 yards. Slightly down. No real security. One shot. Smells professional — except for one fact.
I bet all politicians and bureaucrats will be better protected now.
This is the stuff that you see in the movies.
Definitely someone with some training, maybe a lot.
Could be an experienced deer hunter with that type of weapon,
Not your average “mass shooter” kid on drugs, or gang banger.
Given what is known publicly, he may never be found.
Unless he carelessly left brass, fingerprints, dna, or some type of trash, there may not be a lot of physical evidence,
Unless they have a picture of him that they have not released, it’s going to be a tough case.
The one fact that says not a pro — If he was “camouflaged” at least his face, then I’d suspect a professional. Otherwise, I’d bet on a “deer hunter”.
But what do I know?
Technically any good shooter could have done it, but this is not the work of a noob.
We shall see.
I’m sure that all the survivalists and patriots are watching this one. Like the internet memes, always point out — if guns were the problem, you’d know it — “You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.” — apocryphal unsourced quote attributed to Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto — Rambo movie about body bags. —

True Stories
Dolly Parton once walked into a boardroom full of men in rhinestones and heels — and walked out owning her own masters. The executives thought she was a naïve country girl who’d sign anything. Instead, she quietly bought back her publishing rights, a move so rare at the time that even industry sharks didn’t see it coming. Decades later, when Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” sold 20 million copies, the checks went to Dolly. She didn’t just write the song — she owned it.
That’s the paradox of Dolly. She leaned into the dumb-blonde jokes, the wigs, the over-the-top curves — and used them as camouflage. People underestimated her, and she liked it that way. Behind the glitter was one of the shrewdest business operators in music. She built Dollywood in rural Tennessee, turning her home into a tourist empire. She funneled money into children’s literacy programs, giving away more than 200 million books. And she did it all while letting the world laugh at her “backwoods Barbie” image.
The kicker? She admitted the caricature was intentional. “It costs a lot of money to look this cheap,” she quipped. The hair, the nails, the laugh — they were her armor, her Trojan horse. She could sparkle her way past prejudice and still walk out with the contract that made her untouchable.
Even Elvis tried to own her. When Colonel Tom Parker demanded half the rights to “I Will Always Love You” for Presley to record it, Dolly said no — sobbing in her car, heartbroken, but unyielding. It may be the single most profitable “no” in music history.
Dolly Parton’s story isn’t about a country diva in sequins. It’s about a woman who weaponized underestimation, sold the world a joke it wanted to hear, and laughed all the way to the bank — while handing out books to children on the side.
# – # – # – # – #
Way back when, in the 70s, some of my friends were playing a game. I think it was called “Facts in Five”? One of the challenges was to name the smartest person you knew of. My wife assured everyone that she had my answer cold. “Einstein”! Nope, I had written down “Dolly Parton”. She went nuts and the entire group. I explained that she was the shrewdest business lady and the most charitable. I knew of Dollywood and her book donations.
This story reminded me of that game and added some details about Ms. Parton IDK.

POLITICAL: The Young Democrats and Young Republicans of Connecticut issued a joint statement
Friday, September 12, 2025After Charlie Kirk’s Murder, Politicians Can Back Away From the Brink, or Make Matters Worse
- The political class has been pushing the country towards a conflict nobody should want.
J.D. Tuccille | 9.11.2025 3:00 PM
*** begin quote ***
The Young Democrats and Young Republicans of Connecticut issued a joint statement denouncing the murder.
“What happened at Utah Valley University this afternoon is unacceptable,” it reads. “We reject all forms of political violence. There is no place in our country for such acts, regardless of political disagreements.”
*** end quote ***
Finally a little bit of sanity returns to politics.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083987/quotes/
*** begin quote ***
Nehru: Think of what you can do by living, that you cannot do by dying… What do you want?
Gandhi: That the fighting will stop. That you make me believe it will never start again.
*** end quote ***
This quote is preceded. By a line, something like, “I will fast until the violence stops to atone for my part in stoking it”. Something like that. It’s seems that ALL politicians need to take this example and tone down the posturing.
No one should be stoking the flames of violence for any reason. Certainly not for their political gain.
Argh!

NEWJERSEY: Who gets sued for the vax injuries?
Friday, September 12, 2025NJ to maintain COVID-19 vaccine access despite new federal restrictions
By: Dana DiFilippo – September 10, 2025 12:22 pm
*** begin quote ***
The New Jersey Department of Health has authorized pharmacies and pediatricians statewide to give COVID-19 vaccines to anyone 6 months or older, a move meant to protect access to the shots after federal health officials last month announced new eligibility restrictions limiting them to people over 65 or with other health problems.
Acting Health Commissioner Jeff Brown issued an executive directive Monday denouncing the “unfounded and unsupported barriers” the federal Food and Drug Administration created in rolling back vaccine access.
*** end quote ***
Let the lawsuits begin!
Does the law preempting suing Big Pharma still have any effect?
If I was a Doctor or Pharmacist, then who’s directions do you follow?
If I was the Insurance Companies, then I’d warm the lawyers. This is going to be a giant mess.
Argh!
Remember “informed consent”?

TINFOILHAT: The Official 9/11 Narrative Is a Lie
Thursday, September 11, 2025The Official 9/11 Narrative Is a Lie
9/11 changed the course of history, but most Americans don’t know that fateful day’s real story. The establishment’s narrative is a complete lie.
- What actually happened?
- What did the government know?
- What did foreign governments know?
- A cover-up clearly occurred. Why?
Will we ever get the “truth”? I doubt it.
Some of the factoids that I find persuasive:
- 7WTC had evidence of fraud. It was destroyed.
- The only part of the Pentagon destroyed had the evidence of the missing $2.3 trillion DOD money.
- Saudi Arabians were flown out in the middle of the air travel grounding.
- Hijackers passports were found in pristine condition.
- Larry Silverstein didn’t eat breakfast, as he always did, at Windows on the World.
- Larry Silverstein took out insurance policies to cover terrorist attacks WEEKS BEFORE the 9/11 attack; he purchased the Twin Towers in July. Don’t you usual buy insurance before the closing?
- British press aired a report about the destruction before it happened.
- The dancing Jews in Hoboken were watching.
- The Arabs cheering in New Jersey was suppressed.
- Dozens of firefighters and medics reported hearing, seeing and feeling explosives going off in the buildings that collapsed.
- It was the first steel-framed high-rise ever to have collapsed solely due to office fires.
- Apparently the hijackers were incapable of flying planes in the way needed to crash into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon.
- Where is the Pentagon Security Footage?
- All three building collapsed straight down?
Sorry but the official report is a “fairy tale”!
IMHO

HEALTH: Time for a “death sentence” is in order for Big Pharma
Wednesday, September 10, 2025The mRNA Reckoning Has Begun
- Epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher on the Kim Iversen Show
Nicolas Hulscher, MPH
Sep 03, 2025
*** begin quote ***
They may harm future generations.
Infant mortality, declining for 30 years, reversed sharply in 2021 shortly following mass mRNA uptake in childbearing age women. Babies born years later are now dying at a 77% excess rate
*** end quote ***
This to me is the single biggest STOP sign on mRNA “vaccines”.
Remember they redefined the word “vaccine” to cover mRNA. Bait and switch?
Who can forget Thalidomide? The birth defects showed up in the NEXT generation.
At the very least, to cure basically a bad “cold”, we’ve made ourselves “lab rats” for Big Pharma.
It seems that regulatory capture has run its course, and that the “death sentence” is in order for Big Pharma. And Nuremberg trials for the politicians, bureaucrats, Pharma executives, doctors, and any medical personel found complicit in this “medical disaster / time bomb”.
Argh!

POLITICAL: Tina M. Peters deserves better; “What you do when no one is looking defines your character.”
Tuesday, September 9, 2025Tina Peters’ Open Letter to President Trump from Prison One Week Before Her 70th Birthday
Guest post by Martel Maxim
Dear, Dear Mr. President,
As I sit here in this cell (and notice I didn’t say “my cell” as nothing I have here is mine and can be taken at any time), I’m reminded to be grateful and how blessed we are as a nation, as well as how fragile liberty is.
I am grateful for the multitudes praying for you, this country, and I am humbled to say for me as well.
I long for the day I can be free to continue to fight for the foundation of our society:
Free, fair, transparent elections.
One week from today on September 11th, I will be 70 years old. Never in my life of 35 years of marriage, a business owner for 32, home schooling my two children, with a Navy SEAL son and a marine husband, did I ever imagine I would end up in prison for following the law and doing what was right.
This should scare every citizen of this country. It shows how close we have come to losing this nation and our liberty that so many before us died to protect. But God chose you Mr. President, and each one of us that will rise up and answer the call.
Your good friend, Peter Ticktin, has requoted my standards for those that have once been close as a part of the story in my life. I’ve always said “if one could be swayed by four things: money, power, position, or fear, they can be compromised. What you do when no one is looking defines your character.”
When I used to speak to audiences about the globalists and compromised ones that wish our great nations demise, I would often say “everyone can do something. There are more of us than there are of them. They can’t get us all.”
One day when I was telling my story of not knowing if I would die from the lung cancer that took a third of my lung, I looked up to heaven and said “Lord, if this is my time I’m ready…but you know my prayer!”
I then repeated my life’s prayer to him which is:
“Don’t let me leave this earth until I’ve accomplished everything you sent me here to do.”
At that split second, I knew I was going to live. He has more for me to do. That was in 2016, the same year I walked door to door talking to anyone and everyone for you tirelessly from morning until night. And when it got dark outside, I’d be helping others on the phone calling for the vote.
As a business owner, I knew we needed you to become our president. I never wavered, even when there were 17 candidates. God has his protection over you, as you know, and we are all grateful you took his call. He prepared you for this, and he has prepared me for this.
Nevertheless, I’m ready to be released because the midterms are close. I feel like a racehorse held back by the starting gate. We don’t have much time. We cannot allow the continued selection of governors, secretaries of state, attorneys general, and fraudulent passage of blils and laws because of the voting machines I exposed. I want to finish the job we started.
I cannot allow Jena Griswold to be the attorney general of Colorado, or crooked Phil Weiser to be the governor, and many more need to be displaced in this state, country, and in many nations across the world because the voice of the people has been stolen.
The rally cry of God’s chosen people to stand up and step forward has never been greater.
Please set me free to champion that call to the people. Use my voice, the reason they put me in prison, to be the clarion call. I didn’t raise a Navy SEAL for nothing.
I love you, your family, and this great country.
Thank you.
Gratefully yours,
Tina M. Peters

I think this lady has been “railroaded” by politicians and bureaucrats. I chipped in. Will you?

TECHNOLOGY: It’s just fraud — like shrink wrapped licenses — labeling long-term rentals as purchases.

The fight against labeling long-term streaming rentals as “purchases” you “buy”
- New law emboldens complaints against digital content rentals labled as purchases.

*** begin quote ***
Words have meaning. Proper word selection is integral to strong communication, whether it’s about relaying one’s feelings to another or explaining the terms of a deal, agreement, or transaction.
*** and ***
Often, streaming services like Amazon Prime Video offer customers the options to “rent” digital content for a few days or to “buy” it. Some might think that picking “buy” means that they can view the content indefinitely. But these purchases are really just long-term licenses to watch the content for as long as the streaming service has the right to distribute it—which could be for years, months, or days after the transaction.
A lawsuit [PDF] recently filed against Prime Video challenges this practice and accuses the streaming service of misleading customers by labeling long-term rentals as purchases. The conclusion of the case could have implications for how streaming services frame digital content.
*** end quote ***
I think the “high water mark” is when we bought CDs with the belief that we could always have the content.
I got burned buying content on cassettes and 8 tracks. Then having to buy the “content” when the player were sent to the technology equivalent of the Google Graveyard.
This is just another instance of the same fraud all over again. And again. And again.
If they said “buy”, then they have stuck themselves with a “deal” they had no intention of fulfilling. To me, that’s fraud!
