Hard to imagine
All the moves by the new Trump administration are hard to imagine.....and almost impossible to accept.
I defer to a more knowledgeable source

In 2012 I listened to a TS song and wrote this poem
Never broken ©
I listen to the latest swift and I wonder why
The words aren’t mine and they make me laugh and cry
I used to write songs with similar type lines
And yet our world is gender divided by multiple strange times
It’s odd it’s crazy it’s a universal joke
But at least I know now that I can’t be broke
Oh yeah I can be harmed and cut to the bone
But never broken and never alone
It’s been years since someone made me write a rhyming line
I thought I had moved past the silly and sublime
But then I listen to swift and it makes me recall
That what I used to do wasn’t silly at all
It’s just a hidden part that came out naturally
And then tucked itself just as fast back inside of me
It never went away because it wasn’t really there
It just didn’t want to play out in the clean fresh air
Stuck behind a script an article a piece of art or a blog
The rhyming timing events were just sleeping like a log
Hoyt used to summon the lines by just being himself
And now from nowhere swift shares the wealth
It’s odd it’s crazy it’s a universal joke
But at least I know now that I can’t be broke
Oh yeah I can be harmed and cut to the bone
But never broken and never alone
And then he said.....WHAT?
Every time Donald gets called out for something he did that isn't a good idea he simply says...."It's just part of the negotiation process"
The tariff runaround is really just a part of the negotiation process and most likely they won't be around for very long.
IF THEY ARE AROUND FOR AWHILE THEN OUR ECONOMY WILL SUFFER BECAUSE THE MIDDLE CLASS FEELS THE MOST PAIN FROM INCREASED PRICES.
PRICE INCREASES ON STAPLE ITEMS IS THE ONLY RESULT OF TARIFFS
PERIOD

Don't know what to say
The amount of falsehoods spoken by Donald the other night leave me at a total lost for words.

Heather Cox Richardson and Ray Kurzweil
I imagine these two people to be as different as two people could be BUT what they offer is a voice of the future which turns out to not be so far in the future.
Heather speaks from a political point of view that differs from the present administration in ways that can't be qualified in mere words. You must subscribe to her and read or listen on a regular basis to understand the vast differences.
Ray on the other hand speaks from a sociological viewpoint that probably can't be understood by 90 percent of the human population. Maybe 1 percent is more likely. He's the guy that wrote a book 30 years ago about The Singularity that would take place when Artificial Intelligence would merge with Human Intelligence.
He has a new book called The Singularity is Nearer.
Mainly due to the Quantum Computer advances (especially by Google) Mr. Kurzweil has altered his date to 2029 and possibly sooner.
What this means for the human race is.... ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
In the book he attempts to explain (not an easy read) both the positive and negative results of human intelligence and machine intelligence merging together. Obviously medical advances are the biggest positive and machines deciding financial allocation is a negative (I think)
Our current political situation definably leans toward those with power having more power and those with money having more money and if you don't think that's true then you have your head up your ass so far that your smile looks like poop.
The Singularity that Mr. Kurzweil predicts has a slightly different outlook on the future of financial equality throughout the entire planet......(I think)
Like I said it's a complicated read and his theories are elaborate and are entirely based on computing power advances in the last 50 years.
Life extension is one of his big ideas. In 1924 life expectancy in the United States was 58.5 years.
Today that number is 77.5
AND THAT'S WITH MINIMAL HELP FROM MACHINES.
So it's not hard to imagine that technological advances (especially nanotechnological advances) will result in somebody being born today possibly living well into their hundreds.
THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH THAT IS IF MACHINES ARE REPLACING HUMAN WORKERS THEN WHAT WILL THOSE HUMANS DO TO GENERATE REVENUE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES.
I keep remembering that James Cameron introduced the concept rather bleakly in his Terminator movie which was released in 1984.
The idea of time traveling back and forth to fix the issues aren't really an option.....and if you think it is an option than the UFO reports are some of your favorite stories.
Getting back to Heather Cox Richardson for a sec.
Her summaries of what is currently taking place in Washington DC are probably banned in the White House and I guarantee Elon Musk will try his best to have her voice reduced to a whisper.
I hope you subscribe to her site so that you have a wider range of information. Her post on Abraham Lincoln is really really good.
In the realm of important issues Spring Training started on Tuesday (my birthday) and The Dodgers are favored to repeat their Championship season.....BUT it's baseball and there is no predicting in baseball because human beings have arms and legs and elbows and calf muscles and numerous other things that can go POP or SNAP at anytime.
Machines will not be participating in any baseball season in the near future......
Hopefully
Play Ball!

Whatever you think......
The LACK OF COMPASSION that now resides inside the White House is legendary.....and all the people who voted to put IT there will learn soon enough.
WHAT'S AMAZING IS THAT THEY DIDN'T SEE IT BEFORE.
or
even worse.........
They saw IT
but didn't care
because they possess the same type of personality disorder.

Well...it's official
THE MOST CELEBRATED POLITICAL A*****E THAT HAS EVER GRACED THE BEAUTIFUL SHORES OF THE UNITED STATES
IS
BACK IN THE SADDLE
AND THAT SUMS UP EXACTLY HOW I FEEL
I remember a line from a James Lee Burke novel that seems to apply if I was ever speaking to Mr. Trump
"You sure know how to put a blister on a man's conscience."

MLK and DJT
If, in the history of recorded information, there are two more different famous human beings than Martin Luther King and Donald J Trump....I would like to know who those candidates might be. Maybe Jesus and Hitler but one of them might be a fictional character so that's not conclusive.
Today is MLK birthday and five days from now The Donald will take the oath for President of the United States.
We can examine the archives and find MULTIPLE quotes from Dr. King that offer high level inspiration.
Please show me one quote from Mr. Trump that offers anything resembling high level inspiration.
I'm open to learning so go ahead and fill me in.
I would write something about the fires in LA but as of this moment it's not over.....but suffice to say we have never seen anything like this.....
All we can do is help in anyway possible.
ANYWAY possible........

JAN 6 2021 reality IS BEING repeated
I wish the VP would do what Donald asked Mike Pence to do four years ago
