Alec Baldwin's reported "accidental " shooting.

Baldwin's  accident 
with a gun needs 
a good 
investigation .
Did I say 
Lt . Columbo ?

Alec Baldwin's reported "accidental " shooting deserves a note . A New information about the incident — which caused the death of the film’s director of photography, Halyna Hutchins, and injured director Joel Souza — has been detailed in search warrants executed by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's office and obtained by Yahoo Entertainment. Souza said they were setting up a shot that required Baldwin, who plays an outlaw in the film, to cross-draw the weapon and point it at the camera. While demonstrating what he would do, the gun, which wasn't supposed to be loaded, went off, the warrant states.  There are a lot of peculiar things about it. (1)>> How did live rounds end up in a cold pop gun?  There's tons incoming at this moment. he was producing and he did hire the film company, but it was the company's choice to fire the workers and hire scabs. it had literally been a DAY from when they hired the scabs and then this happened, I'm not even sure he could've done anything in that short a time. There's something to be said for hiring a film company that'd do this, yes, but in this moment, the blame is theirs .The producers are ultimately responsible for the safety decisions made on set and their enforcement. The cutting of corners which as I just read in the LA Times article, on this set were atrocious, as often happens on lower budget productions. The big thing here though is Alec most likely wasn't the primary EP and was most likely only providing money for the backend recoup."Live round" is the industry term for blanks, as opposed to other rounds which may look like live rounds but are not functional at all. All firing blanks are considered live because they are still dangerous.Who according to that article then handed it off to an assistant director to hand off to Baldwin. A few of you are asking why he didn’t check. Answer, on a film set, it is not his job to. While it may have been a good idea to double check, it is certainly not a written rule he has to - they have so many safety people, and checks and such for the purpose of allowing the actors to simply turn up and act. Let me say this again: as a producer or actor, it is not AB’s fault a loaded gun was handed to him. So let's explore a "theory" .

Was Alac Baldwin set up ?

I don't know question wise if Baldwin was set up by someone . Or was a real freak accident . I remember the  (2)>>TV series COLUMBO for one had several episodes where there was some kind of fowl play involving a actor on a movie set . As always the caper is a jilted spouse  slipped a real gun during a movie shoot , had the "lover" killed while the film was being made . We all know that COLUMBO had many stories like this that I can remember . It's always that someone sipped a live ammo on the set. Many actors and actresses over time have pointed guns at people or the camera. It is a legitimate way to get the shot (and the irony is, many people who are attacking AB for it may be the very people who enjoy these gun movies, and intense gun scenes.) That is why these guns are usually fake, or usually fire blanks. There is 0 evidence to suggest he was drunk, that his arrogance or aggression got in the way, that he knew it was loaded etc etc. We should welcome an investigation into why he was handed a loaded gun, but he should not be attacked for the fact this woman is dead. As a producer of a film during the creation of which someone died, he may be sued. The ridiculousness of the entire situation is what I’m convinced of. They called them “prop guns” over and over in the first place.  I would think that a prop gun wouldn’t have a firing pin. So… not a “prop-gun”! Also- Hollywood convincingly uses digital effects now to create the illusion that a gun is firing. Why the hell were they using real guns with anything remotely like gunpowder?It's extremely strange .  Alec's fate is sealed in the industry. No matter the outcome, no matter the elapsed time, whether he had to pay or gets off Scot free, no one will want to book him.His life is forever changed..in his heart...in his lifestyle...in his legacy. He's tainted now. There are too many other actors his age who can do what he does. He can do a couple of voice overs, but no one will ever forget. Funny thing is I don't remember reading about accidental deaths by guns on old TV westerns like GUNSMOKE . So was Alac set up ? I say "probably" , someone may had had a grudge on set , don't know like am picking up things as I WRITE this . Then AGAIN not ruling out a "accident" should be investigated . 

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

(1)>> How did live rounds end up in a cold pop gun? Guns used in making movies are sometimes real weapons that can fire either bullets or blanks, which are gunpowder charges that produce a flash and a bang but no dangerous projectile. Actor Alec Baldwin fatally shot 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins with a gun a crew member had assured the actor was safe. An assistant director, Dave Halls, grabbed a prop gun off a cart and handed it to Baldwin during a rehearsal for the Western film "Rust," according to court records. IT blows my mind an AD handed the gun to Baldwin, and not an armorer. On a proper film set, you’re not even allowed to move an extension cable if you’re not in the electrical department. Or move an empty camera case out of your way if you’re not in the camera department. There was absolutely someone on that set who was responsible for clearing that firearm, and making sure it was safe, and handing it to Baldwin, and they didn’t. And for some strange reason an AD thought it was his job to hand it off to Baldwin. That’s insane.(2)>>TV series COLUMBO.  Recollecting which episode of the TV show Columbo stumbles upon a fatal shooting on a TV set that involved a real gun being used on the show killing a actress .  While it was ruled a "accident " on the set .The Story line here is that things don't up to the investigators . Columbo starts asking questions about the gun . At the start of the episode we a see a hand with a black glove switch the gun during filming . While Columbo thinks that there is more too the story . He finds out that the actress was having a affair with two people , one of the actors on the set , the producer at the same time . So Columbo figures out foul play that leads to a jealous woman as the murderer .

The SUPPLY CHAIN SHORTAGE OBSERVATIONS .

Cargo ships full of supplies , stuck , piling up along the west
cost of North America . Photo shows a
cargo ship bursting into flames along
the cost of British Columbia .

A Few Blog posts ago . I wrote about the Supply Chain shortages . I am really going to dig into this one. I think that  (1)>>THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON HERE . BUT we have had the media hype the "shortages" as "shortages" , the REALITY is a SLOWDOWN of the Supplies . If you look at the cargo ships sitting off shore , not even moving to docking station is vary peculiar .  Now the FACT CHECKERS "claim" There is no evidence that cargo supply-chain issues have been “orchestrated” by the U.S. government, despite claims made online. Slower circulation of containers, rather than inadequate vessel capacity, is what has brought the global container system to its knees.   Is the supply chain being sabotaged? The news will tell you that this worldwide issue is due in part to the lack of shipping demand in the middle of 2020, when everyone was hitting 2 weeks to slow the spread on repeat for months from their couch—reports say that the surge of demand by the end of 2020 led to “delays, port traffic James, and blockages across the supply chain.” Of course, the lack of workers and lack of shipping containers that suddenly disappeared from the mix exacerbated this problem. So we have jammed up containers stuck in ports because there is and was a shortage of staff to both unload them and deliver them to their destination. early October reports have cited 500,000 shipping containers stuck off the coast of Southern California.WELL CARGO SHIPS JUST SITTING THERE is COSTLY . Is the supply chain being sabotaged? The news will tell you that this worldwide issue is due in part to the lack of shipping demand in the middle of 2020, when everyone was hitting 2 weeks to slow the spread on repeat for months from their couch—reports say that the surge of demand by the end of 2020 led to “delays, port traffic James, and blockages across the supply chain.” Of course, the lack of workers and lack of shipping containers that suddenly disappeared from the mix exacerbated this problem. So we have jammed up containers stuck in ports because there is and was a shortage of staff to both unload them and deliver them to their destination.  (2)>>Early October reports have cited 500,000 shipping containers stuck off the coast of Southern California. Even in my home state of Georgia, we’re experiencing something similar with The Port of Savannah being impacted—there’s nearly 80,000 shipping containers stacked up at the docks, and there are reports coming out of the Georgia Ports Authority that some ships were waiting for nine days before getting a slot to unload their shipments.Although US president Joe Biden has been pushing rail freight companies, trucking groups and ports to increase their own capacity and productivity to meet rising demand by working 24 hours . Growing up, the term “on a slow boat to China” was often used to describe something that would take a very long time. Unfortunately, we are seeing the opposite term come to fruition off the east and west coasts of the USA at the moment as container ships from China and other Asian ports are lined up in a 40 mile traffic jam off the west coast, waiting to dock. Cargo ships are still piling up along the west cost. Some are sinking , bursting into flames in various curious other circumstances at sea .

NOTES AND COMMENTS :

(1)>>THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON HERE .  As  I said BEFORE there is really no supply chain shortage ... there is a supply chain SLOWDOWN . It looks to me that there is some sabotage going on to slow the market down on consumer goods .Explanations for the increasing delays include slow loading/unloading times, rising costs of shipping, and capital shortages. All of those explanations are correct but incomplete and insufficiently descriptive. Strangely the "slowdowns" are only effecting western countries that are depended on foreign manufacturing like imports from China as a example .Docking locations along US coasts are among the slowest in the world: not because of size or technological capacity but collective bargaining hindrances.  Artificial supply constraints are being blamed for the craziness that the macroeconomy is going through. You can come to your own conclusions for the reasons why, but the US has gotten more billionaires during that same time than it ever had in its past (same with China and Brazil). The entire macroeconomy is under extreme control right now if you investigate any "issue" going on right now. (2 )>>Early October reports have cited 500,000 shipping containers stuck off the coast of Southern California. Los Angeles had nearly half a million 20-foot shipping containers — or about 12 million metric tons of goods — waiting in drift areas and at anchor for spots to open up along the port to dock and unload, according to data pulled from the Marine Exchange of Southern California's master queuing list. The port has 19 mega-container ships waiting to dock, the largest of which is carrying 16,022 20-foot shipping containers.Ports are already swamped by record numbers of containers reaching U.S. shores during this year’s peak shipping season, and the number of vessels waiting for berth space at Southern California’s gateways is growing as logjams stretch into warehouses and distribution networks across the country.

California Drought Observations .

California is dying up . Is it the Climate or
man made governmental negligence ?

Yeah. California Gov. Newsom has declared a "state of emergency " .  Here is ONE BIG QUESTION. If  (1)>>California has such a drought, why do we funnel all rainwater straight into the ocean? Shouldn't we be harvesting it?  You'd that would be a priority of the state government ? Last year cemented for me the idea that the California dream is in dire straights and in danger of dying altogether. Between the heat waves and the fire and the trajectory that indicates things are only just beginning to become severe and will accelerate.  (1.2)>>The  cause of this crisis in California has been the state government,  has been  at fault for decades . What we see things like fires ever year has nothing to do with the climate .  (2)>>I saw the degradation of the ecosystems and the hordes of people creeping into the state. Ecosystems are degrading everywhere. People are overpopulating everywhere. You might as well go where you like it because overpopulation and ecosystem degradation is everywhere in California . The electrical grid is a wreck in the state .Our most important source of water is the snow that falls in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Every important river flowing from the Sierras is dammed, many of them at multiple points, both to provide power and to provide a consistent supply of water for agricultural, industrial and domestic use. (3)>>Is it Climate Change ? The water remaining in the rivers to ultimately flow into the sea is the minimum that will prevent large areas from becoming uninhabitable deserts.In addition to the Sierra snow melt, we get water from the Colorado river, from the mountains other than the Sierras in the northern part of the state, pump “primitive” water from the central valley, and buy water from other states. (4)>>California is dumping a trillion gallons of fresh Water in the ocean to protect the Delta Smelt, a three inch bait fish. (see - Delta smelt - Wikipedia).For years now, the southern 1/3 of the beautiful San Joaquin Valley’s farmland has been turned into a “man-made” dust bowl. A giant swath of what used to be called, “the breadbasket of the world” is a desert because Sacramento with the help of Washington refuses to divert water to the farmland.The water is being allowed to just run off the mountains, through the river system, through the delta, and out into the ocean. The water is being reserved for the little Delta Smelt, a three inch bait fish, that is on the endangered species list.Now, California is in the midst of a drought ?. As the Governor institutes water emergency rules, they just let all that water just keep pouring into the ocean. Unbelievable!

NOTES AND COMMENTS: (1)>>California has such a drought, why do we funnel all rainwater straight into the ocean?Yes - every effort should be made to recharge every drop of rain water before it reaches the ocean and it is not a very tough ask. It may not be possible in one go but gradually a net work of recharge structures of variable depths can be developed inside the ground.Where there is a will there is a way - all we need is the will to prevent precious rain water from flowing into the oceans not just in California but any where in the world. (1.2)>>The  cause of this crisis in California has been the state government,  has been  at fault for decades . You are one of those people who like to forget even recent history. To get into the situation that California is in has taken years if not decades of financial mismanagement. California has been led by both parties essentially equally the past 15 years.What's going in CA is an example of how government is failing the people not a party. Arnold and his predecessor (both Republicans) have done as much damage as the Dem Brown. If anything,Brown has done more to close the budget deficit than either of his GOP predecessors. Don't be blinded by the partisan crap, both parties suck and both parties will lead to the downfall of our country.    (2)>>I saw the degradation of the ecosystems and the hordes of people creeping into the state. Now that I'm thinking about it, I am reminded of The Water Knife by Paulo Bacigalupi. It's a novel set in the near-future. It's set in the American southwest and the climate is extremely dry. Most of the action is in Nevada and Arizona, California is referenced. From the character's perspective, CA was wealthy and influential enough to keep the water flowing. And Las Vegas had enough investment to make modern construction with intensive water recycling systems work. Population wise , Some environmental leaders warned that rapid growth would put an unbearable strain on natural resources and called for curbs on immigration. But Latino leaders said such restrictions would be racist.One group leaves California , an another group enters illegally . Becomes the dominate population . The simple answer is because more people live in California than in any other State. The more complicated reason is that California is a very desirable place to live. It has an excellent climate. But all in all, for about 40 million people less children, California appeals to them more than the alternatives. Also, California is one of the largest states in the union, it has three of the largest cities in the country within the state, it has something to offer anyone in so many ways like whatever type of climate you like, the types of terrain, if you like big cities, little cities, small towns, living away from everything, it has almost every type of recreation someone could ask for. It's basically your all around perfect place, except for the Democrats running the ship into the rocks.That may change for any one of them, but it remains, you cannot be the most popular state to live numerically in while also being a horrible state to live in.(3)>>Is it Climate Change ?.And Climate Change! What they didn't have was millions of people, all living unsustainably in a desert, pumping water our of the aquifers such that the water table is dropping to where native plant species can't survive, nor were they pumping water out of the American River and Sacramento River basins over the mountains for these millions of people living in said unsustainable desert 1,200 years ago.If they weren't moving water from it's supposed to be to where it was never meant to be, only the deserts would be in a "drought".  I have been here enough decades to have seen these droughts come and go, there has been an almost perpetual state of drought here since the media found it sells papers. What makes THIS drought different or worse is, the INSANE enviro-lunatic, therefore man-made, decisions that intensify the effect of less rain and snow. In the name of some nut jobs bigoted opinion based on the faux-'science' that is bought and paid for and meant not to help mankind but solely to control men by some self-appointed elitists.(4)>>California is dumping a trillion gallons of fresh Water in the ocean to protect the Delta Smelt, a three inch bait fish. .Drought is all about precipitation levels. They only get into reservoir levels for long term droughts, and even then it's only a part of the calculation for when a drought is ended. I don't know exactly how they account for human water usage in the calculations for when a long term drought has ended - but gawd knows we use massive amounts in watering lawns, washing cars, household usage, crop irrigation, etc. And of course, the more people, the more we're drawing down supplies. But if you get normal amounts of precipitation, and just have more people using more water, I'm pretty certain that's not technically a drought at all because crops would still have the rain/snow they need to grow, etc... but it's would be a water shortage. For example for several years now California has been simply dumping incredible amounts of water into the bay ostensibly to 'protect the non-indiginous bait fish, the delta smelt.' If they weren't doing that, the reservoirs would be a good bit higher, but they'd still be in drought even if the reservoirs were full, because they're not getting "normal" amounts of precipitation. 

OCTOBER THOUGHTS . PART 2.

In Washington D.C. there is another storm 

coming again .

1.Nancy Pelosi's Unrighteous Riches .

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi backed up the plan requirement that banks report information on any account with $600 of total activity over the course of a year will stay in Democrats' reconciliation bill in some form, despite public backlash.[ I am going to talk about this in the Yellen part below]  (1)>>NOW I WONDER if the IRS would look into Pelosi's own financial dealings ??? The current salary of a Speaker of the House sits in the low six-figures, yet (2)>>Pelosi is one OLD of the richest members of Congress. Now Pelosi husband reportedly purchased up to $1 million in stock from electric car giant Tesla just before Biden announced electric car mandate. Ethics watchdog says appears to be 'insider trading'. Paul Pelosi reportedly purchased up to $1 million in stock from electric car giant Tesla last month. I am always curious about the average Democrat voter as to why there so numb that their elected Democratic representatives are a list of corruption . NOT ALL DEMOCRATS are BAD , its just the few elites who run the country , like Pelosi that don't represent  the average American . There own wealth boggles the mind sometimes , when the (3)>>RICH DEMOCRATS accuse the RICH for not paying THEIR FAIR SHARE of TAXES but they themselves DON"T PAY . Again Pelosi's wealth is staggering . The Pelosis own several pieces of real estate including a mansion in Napa Valley valued up to $25 million, a DC waterfront condo worth over $2 million, and a red brick mansion in California's Pacific Heights. Her husband owns commercial properties in San Francisco "combined, worth up to $50 million".  The electric car stock is the part of the ethics issue.The move by Pelosi was "corrupt and unacceptable," TakeBack.org Executive Director John Pudner claimed in an interview with the Washington Times . "Even if the actual charges are not provable beyond a reasonable doubt or trigger SEC action, the timing of trades with potential insider information always looks bad," a former federal prosecutor told the publication. A spokesman for the speaker said that "her husband, not the speaker, made the Tesla bets and the speaker's political relationships were irrelevant," the Times reported. (4)>>Members of Congress are legally allowed to commit inside trading. Congress passed it in the 90s I believe stating they weren’t subject to insider trading laws. Basically there is going to be some type of issue that congress will be made aware of and so they make moves before it’s made public. Unbelievable how Congress can exemp themselves from laws that Congress makes, one of them being a law against insider trading. That's quite a racket those dudes got going on up there. I do find many of her views and attacks on other wealthy people to be highly hypocritical given her financial standing. She does the same stuff she demonizes outspoken capitalists for. And after that hair salon fiasco clearly epitomizes the "rules for thee but not for me" mantra of the wealthy (Democrat or Republican).So her wealth, I have no problem with. Her actions and occasionally professed positions, particularly her attacks on other wealthy do not align with her own standing/actions. It shouldn't come to anyone's surprise that she's a multi-millionaire. I find it troubling and at the same time not surprising. There's a lot of money floating at the top. Who knows where it's all coming from or who is exactly pulling the strings to who. the people who lecture us on how the rich are evil are actual rich themselves, and the rules they make apply to others but not themselves? Shocker.

2. YELLING at Yellen !

In Regards to the Pelosi hypocrisy . This is connected , now the Biden Administration wants the IRS to "spy" on you . (5)>>GOING AFTER THE RICH IS JUST AN EXCUSE . If you're trying to target transactions of $3 million then you make that the reportable limit. All this tells us is that they are targeting the people who make $600 transactions. They say they are targeting billionaires but their actions show us that they're lying. Yep. $600 is so low. I think the idea is they want to have access to everyone’s banking information.  Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on broadcast of “CBS Evening News” that the proposed $600 IRS reporting requirement for banks is “absolutely not” a way for the government to spy on Americans.Anchor Norah O’Donnell asked, (6)>>“You want banks to report transactions of 600 dollars or more? That is what the IRS wants. Does this mean that the government is trying to peek into our pocketbooks? If you want to look at $600 transactions?”Yellen replied, “Absolutely not. I think this proposal has been seriously mischaracterized. The proposal involves no reporting of individual transactions of any individual. The big picture is, look, we have a tax gap that over the next decade is estimated at $7 trillion. Namely, a shortfall in the amount the IRS is collecting due to a failure of individuals to report the income that they have earned.”O’Donnell said, “But that is among billionaires, is that among people who are transfers 600 dollars?”Yellen said, “No, it tends to be among high-income individuals whose income is opaque, and the IRS doesn’t receive information about it.  (7)>>If you earn a paycheck, you get a W-2 the IRS knows about it. High-income individuals with opaque sources of income that are not reported to the IRS, there is a lot of tax fraud and cheating that is going on. All that is involved in this proposal is a few arrogate numbers about bank accounts, the amount that was received in the course of a year, the amount that went out in the course of a year.”Yellen then gave an example."If someone reports an income of $10,000, and they had $3 million go out of their checking account, that tells the IRS that’s an individual that you might audit."Wait, what. Why would you set the reportable level at $600 and then use $3 million as an example? I don't understand how she's explaining this away. All this will do is hurt the little guy, people living paycheck to paycheck, and lots of minorities. Shows you that the government actually doesn’t care about anyone, let alone the people Biden falsely panders to. This country is over, I don’t think there is anything we can do to save it. America is dead.

3. California's Gas Powered Equipment Ban.

SO MANY THINGS TO BRAGG ABOUT . I don't know if this is the WORST thing you can do to devastate the economy even more so in the name of (8)>>CLIMATE CHANGE . California will always be in the NEWS . It's Governor just signed the worse piece of sh**t legislation ever . It's ramifications are still unknown . Its likely going to put a lot of gardeners out of business , cause a disruption of equipment all over the state . While to comply with the new law will be 2024 . It's unrealistic that all the gas powered equipment could be replaced with electrical  Electrical equipment comes with problems like battery charging .(9)>>California's electricity grid is an aged, barely capable network right now. Multiple wildfires started due to old and poorly maintained equipment, rolling brown outs and black outs in order to meet demand and a climate that will only get hotter year in year, demanding more power from the grid to run AC systems... if everyone in the state switches to electric vehicles charged from the grid, how will it cope?However, I could see a lot of the landscaping companies struggling with this as the batteries do not last long enough to cut multiple yards. Charging times are long and may require gas generators. All that said, given the water issues out that way, maybe people should stop watering their grass anyway??Whether big of small, if a job requires the use of chain saws to get through it, then using electric ones with limited charge isn't going to work whether the business is large or small.I suppose either could run a battery charger that has dozens upon dozen of batteries, but at some point, whether the company is big or small, that is not cost efficient.What is likely to happen is that all companies will jack up prices and consumers will balk at the increased expense and the state will have more issues with fallen trees that disrupt electric supply, etc.   All this is to say that this is simply (10)>>California politicians doing anything to look like they're doing something. This solves zero problems and only adds to more hazardous waste ending up in our landfills. If they did this in 15 years when motor technology has advanced and battery tech isn't so despicable I would 100% be on board. (10.1 )>>Meanwhile a lot of landscaping businesses will GO OUT OF BUSINESS because they cant afford electrical replacements ,  (10.2)>>PLUS a lot of it is MADE IN CHINA!  Maybe the technology will have closed the gap in the near future, but, if not, then the legislature should look at carving out exemptions for landscaping companies, etc.

4. Biden's Falling Approval ratings !!!

President Joe Biden's poll approval ratings are tanking . Data from the Morning Consult U.S. presidential approval polling show that  (11)>>Biden’s rating was once as high as 56% but has now fallen to 47%. The recent Quinnipiac poll also shows the president received the lowest score from the American people on his job performance since taking office. His 42% approval rating is driven by low marks on the economy, taxes and immigration.Voters may want to see more from Biden, but his declining popularity has further complicated Democrats’ efforts to enact sweeping legislation, including a $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill that would massively expand America’s safety net.Honestly it has been a bad couple weeks.  (12)>>LOL !!! but lately they've made some bad calls. They should have listed to Pelosi straight away and issued the moratorium extension without dragging it over days and making it news cycle.They should have done a few more executive actions or foreign policy events and not put so much focus on this infrastructure week deja vu that goes on and on every week and never ends. People get tired of that shit.Whats going to hurt him is congress not getting things done and leading to voter apathy. The new redistricting and gerrymandering combined with voter suppression already gives Republicans a massive advantage in 2022 add voter apathy and it gets worse.That explains why Biden didn't start out with a high approval rating, but it doesn't explain the shift. My guess is that he started out his term with vaccines rapidly going into arms, less shitter twitter, and a feeling of an end in sight once the country got vaccinated. Now he's getting hurt by a combination of some not great images coming out of Afghanistan and a resurgent COVID (and restrictions) due to the Delta variant.If you think Joe Bidens approval rating is low now, wait until people figure out that the 15% global tax actually takes in less tax U.S. revenue and was written by tech companies trying to do away with digital service tax. Biden and Yellen even went around the globe on U.S. tax paper money and pushed it.

5. I'd Quit Before I get the VACCINE !

(13)>>PEOPLE ARE QUITTING EVERYWHERE ! The Vaccine mandate may have SLOWED DOWN the American Economy . The current supply chain crisis is one of the "side effects" of the mandates.Surveys have shown that as many as half of unvaccinated workers say they will leave their jobs if they're forced to get the COVID-19 shot. We are living in rather strange days , my friends . Last year we had massive layoffs attributed to the Covid lock -downs . Millions of people were let go as businesses shut down over the "regulations" . It was a massive over kill to the economy . REMEMBER THIS !!! Before the pan[plan]demic unemployment was just over 3 % . The American economy was booming with wages going up under Donald J Trump . NO one can argue who destroyed the American economy,  it was the Democratic Blue states with their heavy handed close down polices . Now it appears that the people laid off last year DON"T WANT TO GO BACK TO WORK . Right now in this mix we have people who just want to QUIT over the vaccine . It looks to me that its purely a psychological reason as a reaction with a unpopular U.S. Government right now . 

NOTES AND COMMENTS: 

 (1)>>NOW I WONDER if the IRS would look into Pelosi's own financial dealings ??? "The bulk of the Pelosis' money comes from investments in stocks and real estate. Operating through Financial Leasing Services, his San Francisco investment firm, Paul Pelosi owns stock in companies including Microsoft, AT&T, Cisco Systems, Disney, Johnson & Johnson and a variety of tech stocks. Real estate investments include a four-story office building at 45 Belden St. in the Financial District, office buildings on Battery and Sansome streets near the Embarcadero, a building housing a Walgreens drugstore near Ocean Beach and other commercial property in San Anselmo. Other investments include a St. Helena vineyard worth between $5 million and $25 million, a $1 million-plus townhome in Norden (Nevada County), and minority interests in the Auberge du Soleil resort hotel in Rutherford, the CordeValle Golf Club in San Martin, and the Piatti Italian restaurant chain." Look at the date of that article 2007. [see https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Pelosi-s-husband-prefers-a-low-profile-2660253.php ] (2)>>Pelosi is one OLD of the richest members of Congress. Still, despite decades as a civil servant, Pelosi’s net worth puts her at No. 6 on the list of richest members of Congress in 2020, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. While her salary is $223,500 annually, most of her wealth stems from her husband’s business and their investments.The majority of Pelosi’s wealth is attributed to the success of her venture capitalist and real estate tycoon husband Paul Pelosi, whom she married in 1963. His firm, Financial Leasing Services, has a track record of wise investments in companies such as Facebook, Apple and the Walt Disney Co. According to a July 2021 report by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald, the Pelosis traded more than $33 million of tech stocks in the past two years.  (3)>>RICH DEMOCRATS accuse the RICH for not paying THEIR FAIR SHARE of TAXES but they themselves DON"T PAY . Republicans often get accused of favoring big business, but data recently released by the Internal Revenue Service shows that a large majority of those making $500,000 or more actually vote Democrat.Recent data shows the Democratic Party’s transition from the party of the working man to the party of the rich is complete. IRS data shows that Democrats represent 65 percent of taxpayers with a household income of $500,000 or more while 74 percent of taxpayers in Republican districts have household incomes of less than $100,000. President Biden’s effort to pass the largest tax increase in U.S. history is based on the verifiably false claim that Americans with high incomes don’t pay their “fair share.” In no other country do the rich bear a greater share of the income-tax burden than they do in the U.S.This is great. While we are at it maybe the IRS can explain how members of Congress who have income of $200k have net worths of tens of millions of dollars?The proposal includes nearly $2.1 trillion in increased tax revenues, the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation estimated on Monday. Democrats say those increases will go a long way to funding President Biden’s ambitions to expand the federal government’s role in education, health care, climate change, paid leave and more.(4)>>Members of Congress are legally allowed to commit inside trading.  Congress passed the law in 2012 to combat insider trading and conflicts of interest among their own members and force lawmakers to be more transparent about their personal financial dealings. A key provision of the law mandates that lawmakers publicly — and quickly — disclose any stock trade made by themselves, a spouse, or a dependent child. But many members of Congress have not fully complied with the law. They offer excuses including ignorance of the law, clerical errors, and mistakes by an accountant.New rule: age limits on politicians - why trust people that have already made millions that want to make it harder for you to make your money? They want to change the rules after it doesn’t suit them anymore. Of course, they want to know every dime you spend but the Fed can make trades and policy that affects those trades. Huh?(5)>>GOING AFTER THE RICH IS JUST AN EXCUSE . Class envy is not caused by the rich. It is caused by politicians and reporters who want to pander to the largest group of voters, and to have someone to blame for the ills of the world. You can't blame the poor people for being poor, but you can blame the rich, chastise the rich, tax the rich. There will of course still be poor people .Blaming anyone for else for one's own condition takes the ability to change that condition out of one's own hands. Why be a victim especially a self induced one. The rich are always getting blamed.  Get Real!!  Somebody has to do the grunt work or there is no rich.  That's life.  Get over it!!! Get A JOB!!!! Go To Work and stop expecting the taxpayers to feed, cloth and give you health care.  Take care of yourself and the money will take care of itself.  Stay in school and get an education. l It's free in this country - all you have to do is show up, which most don't want to do.  The bottom line is stop bellyaching!!!I don't care about the rich.  Let them get rich.  I care about the middle class.  We are being penalized for productivity, saving, and responsible investing by the bankers and their cronies at the Fed, through fractional reserve banking and Keynesian policies.  Even though the economy sucks for the average Joe, corporate profits as a percentage of GDP are at an all time high.  Low interest rates create financialization of the economy where the big boys are encouraged to gamble with our deposits... they front run the rallies, and whatever losses are left after they front run the dips are rolled over courtesy of the taxpayers.  (6)>>“You want banks to report transactions of 600 dollars or more? " . Inflows or outflows of $600 happen to the accounts of rich people only? The vast majority of people on Social Security get an "inflow" to their bank account over $600. This law would mean almost every retiree is scrutinized as well as almost everyone with a full-time job whose pay is deposited in a checking account.on a retiree's income, pay as much as I can through credit cards because I get 2% to 5% cash-back and my monthly statements, which I pay in full, are usually over $600.If this is passed, overworked IRS people will be auditing people they barely had to analyze ahead of time because of the huge number of people being reported to them!(7)>>If you earn a paycheck, you get a W-2 the IRS knows about it. The Democrats promised to tax the rich. Unfortunately, even if you tax every single penny of every rich person, it won't be enough to pay for trillions of dollars in spending. They have no choice but to tax old people's retirement savings and now even poor people's bank accounts.How about instead of going after average people, investgiate government waste instead?After all the headlines about the wealthiest people evading taxes, one would think that the administration's biggest priority would be to re-fill and add to all of the auditor postions that have been lost in past Republican administrations. Include a bunch of forensic auditors who can unwind all of the arcane ways in which money is hidden. Why waste personnel resources going after little fish and pissing off average people and the banking industry which you would want to be your first line of defense and best allies.But they will go after your cash too. Pelosi and others want a digital currency. If that ever happens, you'll have to convert all your cash or it will become worthless after a certain date.This latest failing plan to monitor any account at $600 transactions or more will only hurt the middle class and lower economic class people. In addition it will create a huge bloated staff at the IRS that will never recover the revenue to pay for the staffing increase much less bring in additional revenue for the Biden social engineering agenda. As for the wealthy, they have tax attorneys that will be able to shield their clients assets and gains to their advantage - and all legally Gold and other commodity prices would then skyrocket because they would then become a better place to park your cash.(8)>>CLIMATE CHANGE .  The California ECONOMY is going to go BUST !  Because of it's climate response restrictions, without ant instate manufacturing on replacing gas cars and gas powered equipment . California will be all alone , dependent on Chinese manufacturing to replace its gas to electric transition .California’s economy on track to be carbon neutral by 2045. California must now not just eliminate greenhouse gas emissions from its electricity sector (which accounts for 16% of the state’s total emissions), but zero them out across the entire economy, including in manufacturing, transportation, and industry, among others. I don’t think you can even get a battery powered riding mower wider than 42”. It’s going to take forever to mow schools, football fields, etc.It sounds good in theory, but isn’t California having some challenges with keeping pgandE from turning the power off because of overload, and fire dangers with the winds. It would be a challenge to charge up batteries if we push the grid even further. Hopefully they figure this out by incorporating more solar and wind technology to get things in shape ahead of time. I heard that they are going to try and bury more of the power lines to help with the need to shut things off. I’m just wondering though, you know🤔(9)>>California's electricity grid is an aged, barely capable network right now.   PG&E is allowed to turn your power off whenever the heck they want and hell you you’re not allowed to have a gas generator.  Hydropower is a significant source of energy for the state. In 2019, it made up about 17 percent of California’s electricity mix. And while California is no stranger to drought, this is particularly bad. More than a third of the state is experiencing “exceptional drought,” and more than 40 percent of its residents are living under a drought state of emergency.BUT you really think Newsom gives a shit about the middle-class working people? This will impact ? This will get sued out of existence or drastically modified simply for the fact that people with life-critical medical devices or medication that require refrigeration cannot rely on the California power grid to not go down.No joke, this is what is going to happen. CA will wind down oil consuming products at retail and manufacturing but CA residents will just go to other states for such luxuries.(10)>>California politicians doing anything to look like they're doing something. The problem with this is it puts the onus on the consumer rather than industrial polluters like agribusiness. A lot of people in rural California use gas powered generators when Pacific Gas and electric cuts power because the winds are to high, people rely on the generators for power. Unless you are going to hand out subsidy’s or tax breaks to the consumers who need to purchase all new equipment this is bullshit. IS'S already a pain in the ass to find california approved generator when you order online. in fire zones this will create a desparate situation. cheap solar kits will thrive i guess? not that that can run most peoples fridge let alone microwaves unless you spend a couple grand or more. goes into effect january 2024.(10.1 )>>Meanwhile a lot of landscaping businesses will GO OUT OF BUSINESS. Backers of the legislation, a coalition of public health and environmental groups, would let the Air Resources Board figure out the details. There’s the possibility of a $30 million fund to help buy new equipment. The arithmetic, however, indicates that the proposed conversion would cost much more than that, either borne by the lawn services or taxpayers. Andrew Bray, vice president of the National Association of Landscape Professionals, told the Los Angeles Times that “a three-person landscaping crew will need to carry 30 to 40 fully charged batteries to power its equipment during a full day’s work,” adding, “These companies are going to have to completely retrofit their entire workshops to be able to handle this massive change in voltage so they’re going to be charged every day.”Recharge time is 12 hours.  Not to worry, just buy more batteries or their supercharger to get a charge in 6 hours, extra of course. (10.2)>>PLUS a lot of it is MADE IN CHINA! .   As governments, automakers, and investors flock to electric vehicles in anticipation of a greener future, they are being acquainted with a new Asian proprietor. In 2019, Chinese companies accounted for more than 80% of the world’s output of battery raw materials. Among the battery plants to be created in the next eight years, 101 out of 136 will be based in China. But the U.S. is lagging far behind. Unlike the EU, which has funneled billions of euros in subsidies for home-grown battery start-ups, the U.S.’s battery capacity grows at a slower pace relative to the rest of the world. As a result, the U.S. share of global lithium-ion cell production are projected to shrink in the coming years while the EU has been catching up.(11)>>Biden’s rating was once as high as 56% .Since spring, public confidence in Biden has declined across several issues. In March, majorities expressed confidence in him across six of seven dimensions, including his handling of the public health impact of the coronavirus, and foreign and economic policies. Today, about half still express confidence in his handling of the coronavirus and the economy – but majorities have little or no confidence in him in four other areas.(12)>>LOL !!! but lately they've made some bad calls. But that honeymoon period came to a halt in late summer. The delta variant of the coronavirus led to a surge in cases and deaths starting in late July, accompanied by renewed fears about the economy and inflation; by Aug. 15, Biden’s approval rating had dropped 2.3 percentage points (to 50.0 percent), and his disapproval rating had risen 1.3 points (to 43.8 percent). That same day, the Taliban seized control of Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, completing a stunningly fast collapse of the country’s government following the withdrawal of American troops. The Taliban takeover, and the ensuing humanitarian crisis, appeared to accelerate the decrease in Biden’s popularity.The poll found that 53% disapproved of the job Mr. Biden is doing, with the majority of those polled saying the president does not have good leadership skills.(13)>>PEOPLE ARE QUITTING EVERYWHERE!.How vaccine mandates are being handled differs across businesses and industries.The federal mandate will cover as many as 100 million Americans — private-sector employees as well as health care workers and federal contractors. It is a high-stakes gambit by the president to boost the vaccination rate in the U.S. About 77% of American adults have had one dose of the vaccine, according to the CDC. The workforce of Police , Nurses , Teachers , city workers . They have to deal with the mandates , or get tested weekly . Many oppose the mandates , its "their body their choice ".So how does the economic cost of accommodating unvaccinated workers compare with the risk that a vaccine requirement would push them out of work?If worker mandates become commonplace, it could become more difficult for employees to find an attractive position that doesn't require vaccination. In the US, more and more new positions are already listing it as a requirement in the job description. Such a move is not without controversy.

WHO'S IN CONTROL OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ???

A BIG SATIRICAL QUESTION .
Is Biden a Puppet of somebody ?

We have wondered if President Biden is "all there and in control " . For satirical reasons let's say this .. He’s a puppet for somebody pulling strings somewhere else, and you people are all agog at this thing?  (1)>>WHO CONTROLS BIDEN ? There is widespread belief that Joe Biden is a puppet president. If so, then we'd better find the master puppeteer, and quickly.Biden — not in control. Someone else or others in his administration are calling the shots; pulling the strings. He has onset dementia; memory lapses; has to read from notes.Government itself is corrupt; rotten to the core. The Puppet Master and asked for questions - he sat there for a moment and suddenly the lights went out while the screen went blank. Surprisingly, and perhaps not so surprisingly, the Press has made no mention of the incident which took place on national television. As for the State of the Union address, The Puppet Master pulling Biden's strings is afraid to let Biden speak for any length of time because he knows that Biden will reveal his cognitive deficiencies to the world.   (1.1)>>Meanwhile, Karmala Harris, the Vice-President, is talking to world leaders - a job always handled by the President. Is the transition to Harris already taking place? So the question becomes quite clear - who is actually running the government? A string of Executive Orders have been released since Biden's inauguration in an effort to rapidly change our national direction in to a One Party Socialist Government so, again, who is The Puppet Master behind the overthrow of our nation as we know it? Who is pulling the strings?  So, who is making these important decisions that affect the future of our country? The answer: Biden’s radical handlers in the White House .Who is/are the puppet master(s) behind the curtains running the show and telling him what to say? Is it Obama? Trump had no problem going toe to toe with the media. BUT HEARKEN!

Pelosi Axis is running America into the Ground.

 I believe that he is being controlled by  (2)>>Nancy Pelosi . Pelosi has been pulling the strings ever since last year , she was also the coup leader who fouled Donald Trump's election prospects.The Speaker of the US House of Representatives has the quite unbelievable brass neck. Just who in the world does she think she is? The wokesters of course swoon over her.Yet a succession of US administration policy failures hardly inspires trust and confidence. Ms Pelosi is an enabler along with her likeminded other democrat party Muppets. We c an only earnestly hope they are voted out at the midterms.Nancy Pelosi's America, work is not much more than an unnecessary distraction. The current path that Nancy Pelosi would have us take is unsustainable. The end result when leaders like Pelosi value welfare benefits over personal industry is national ruin. The short version is that Pelosi suffered from a toxic case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Remember, this is the speaker of the House who made a show of tearing up her copy of the State of the Union speech in front of a joint session of Congress while the president stood a few feet away and millions watched on television. WE REALLY HAVE A CRAZY PERSON as a PUPPET MASTER in this country.What Pelosi was doing was no secret. She took control of the nation when Biden was sworn in as President . This "Build Back Better" plan is Nancy's Plan . So more months passed -- until the presidential election gave Pelosi what she wanted. Now, she is ready to deal. But what about all that lost time? All that suffering? Pelosi doesn't want to talk about it. That was clear at her news conference she blamed the media for the failure of the infrastructure plan .A clearly angry Pelosi lashed out at the journalist for his temerity.

Who is Controlling the Biden Administration ?

Biden in the White House would be Nancy Pelosi in the White House would be Black Lives Matter in the White House would be Bernie Sanders in the White House would be Stacey Abrams in the White House would be — fill in the blank of every far left, let's say bluntly progressive/socialist/collectivist/communist influence that can dredged. He’s a puppet. WE know Nancy is pulling the strings . Even President Donald Trump  said the Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, was being controlled by "people in dark shadows," a suggestion that was branded a conspiracy theory by the Fox News host interviewing him. They’ve all been corrupt. I think it’s ridiculous that people act like Trump is the first corrupt president we’ve ever seen. He’s no better or worse than any of the puppets that sat on the chair before he did. It’s just highly publicized by every single news media all the time this go around on the shitshow carousel. It’s very wild that we are still arguing partisan politics considering any self respecting conspiracy theorist SHOULD say “this is exactly how THEY want us to be fighting”   I know it is "conspiracy theory" and therefore it doesn't have to make sense, but that makes no sense. I mean, when your sole platform position is "We're not Trump" it really doesn't matter as long as the person running isn't hated like Hillary. The only person even close would be AOC and she's far too left (in her center-left position) to be accepted by the DNC.  Maybe there's an actual conspiracy controlling Biden, I sure don't know, but the way Trump described it was more like Biden is being controlled by Trump's girlfriend that he met at summer camp and who goes to a different high school... because she lives in Canada, but she's totally real, guys, and they made out and hugged and everything. The deep state is the puppet masters that let you think you have a choice. When anyone in their right mind would take a plumber, teacher, farmer or network administrator as a president before choosing one of these rich, pedo, old racists. That being said. Congress is where the power really lies. No term limits and set your own wage, WHILE already being corrupt....shitttt. too easy.

NOTES AND COMMENTS : 

(1)>>WHO CONTROLS BIDEN ? The idea that conspiracy theories don't have to make sense is misinformed. In fact on order for one to even be accepted or given any acknowledgement then a few requirements have to be met. I won't go into detail but to give a few, To be a theory it needs to have substance. It must be proposed with reasonable and applicable levels. Yes there are alot of folks jumping on here and hollering about covid ,or q uanon etc.. usually with nothing to back it up ..this is either new folks, or the batshit types that tend to hang in these areas. But we try to put those to bed quiclkly if possible. It just adds chaos.In fact to be taken seriously one has to propose a theory with a reasonable explanation and at least some type of correlating source or at least a thought out idea that explains Your idea that shows possible correlation or connecting patterns or even a beneficial endgame. In other words theories have to be something that is reasonably possible,plausible, and applicable. Without the substance we end up chasing reptillians While looking for hidden Mason symbols trying to make sure the NSA can't see us cause they are controlled by the Illuminati. Lol sorry that last bit is just funny. Anyway just wanted to set the record straight.(1.1)>>Meanwhile, Karmala Harris, the Vice-President. Guy who used to be vice-president for 8 years still occasionally refers to his counterpart as "president" when speaking? No way! This is stone cold proof that Vice President Harris is actually president and everything about the election was stolen. However! The last guy's year long rhetoric blasting the election and calling people to fight for their country or they won't have a country was just free speech and he was just shootin' the shit and there's no way it led to an attack on the halls of American democracy. Also, grab them by the p****was just boys being boys in a locker room. Oh! And if you ever took the last guy's inciting rhetoric seriously it was just a joke you guys.  (2)>>Nancy Pelosi. Nancy has been in office since 1987. She didn’t inherent shit. Democrats had the Presidency, a House majority, and a Senate majority for 4 years since she took office (the first two years of Clinton's presidency, the first two years of Obama's presidency, and the past two months). They had a filibuster-proof majority for a few months (from September 24, 2009 to February 4, 2010). ITS is a rare day when Pelosi fails to control her caucus. But the veteran speaker, viewed with awe by many members for her vote-counting abilities, adopted a high-risk strategy of trying to force a vote on the first leg of  ( HER AGENDA ) Biden's forward-looking agenda. A group of nine moderates is threatening to withhold their votes from Democrats’ $3.5 trillion budget resolution later this month, endangering Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s two-track plan to push both a massive infrastructure bill and social spending agenda through the House in the coming weeks.But this is the first time the lawmakers have explicitly said they’re willing to block the budget resolution in an attempt to force Pelosi’s hand —
