  • in reply to: No Shock. Trump is indicted over documents. #7318

    Biden has done similar. Classified documents behind the Corvette, remember. And while you’re at it, how about Hillary and actually destroying government property and having classified info on an unprotected server in her home.

    And help me understand how we became a banana republic after a fair election. Perhaps you’re referring to the riots in the streets after Hillary lost.

    I’m no fan of Trump and would love a different Republican to get the nomination. But this indictment is a steaming pile, and you know it.

    Heard a clip from RFKJr talking about closing the border. Loved it.

    Perhaps the best approach is to embrace most of Trump’s policies and attempts to drain the swamp, and base the campaign on “I’m like Trump, but without the baggage and the roadblocks from the Dems. I’ll get what needs to be done, done.” Somebody needs a lot of charisma to pull that off, and I don’t see it yet, though the few times I’ve seen Tim Scott, I’ve been impressed. Surprised that Nikki is getting so little attention.

    With all the talk about AI taking over the world, there has been a similar amount of discussion about UFOs and alien craft all over the news. Two questions, if they are indeed alien species and crafts, how did they prevent AI from taking over their worlds, and two might they really machines created already by AI here on Earth?

    Please share your opinions while I go find a new aluminum foil hat. . . .

    Bud Light changes course and has new ad campaign featuring “Chicken Fried” by Zac Brown, a big country hit these days, especially with teenage girls like mine. Not sure it’s the right demographic, but it beats the hell out of their last demographic of choice. . . .

    Mixed bag for some of my clients. Industrial and hi tech manufacturing going strong, shakiness with consumers. . . .

    Now that’s some wild stuff.

    Shall we play a game?

    How about Global Thermonuclear War?

    Yet Dollar General missed its numbers and Costco says shoppers are going for less expensive options. . ..

    I, Robot. The Multivac (The Last Question). The M-5. The Cylons. HAL. Terminator. and on and on. Even Max Headroom. Not a novel idea that AI may control or  wipe humanity out. Am I concerned. Only mildly so far, though I think there will be real issues over the next 20 to 30 years as tech and AI continue to evolve. We need the ability to pull the plug, and that may soon be gone.

    Ran a search on CNN looking for a story on the Marines. Typed in Marines. Nothing. Typed in San Clemente. Nothing.

    How is that possible? Well, I guess it’s pretty clear. Shameful.

    Clients I have all have really strong backlogs. While some were concerned about a drop, most of those fears are gone. Look for growth in spite of the best efforts of Joe and Janet.

    In more whale news, the Russians are using trained whales to spy. Amazing

    Please note, that some of this is somewhat tongue in cheek. . . .

    I like Trump’s policies, for the most part. Good internationally, good on the border, good economically. I don’t like the guy and the baggage he carries. Anybody else on the Republican side would have a much easier road to the White House. Will I vote for him in the primaries? No. Would I vote for him in the general? Yes. Would rather him get beat by someone on the right, first. But by whom? Who has the energy and charisma and the policies? Scott maybe? DeSantis just seems a little bland. . . .

    Without kids, schools won’t know how to pay for themselves. They certainly won’t make the cuts required. Will be interesting in the next decade. Anecdotally, 6 and unders on our swim team are way way down. Don’t know if it’s the pandemic or other, but very surprising.
