That is Pepper, my cocker waiting for the mailman.
No, he is simply setting up the blaming talking points for failing to negotiate a budget and ICE reforms. (I wanted to work with them, but they wouldn't even talk to me.) The naming thing is silly enough that he thinks people will think his enemies …
Thanks @hank. Well worth listening to the entire discussion. Just a joy to see coding as a maturing man-in-the-loop solution. This is exactly what I used to try to explain to my colleagues back in good ole days (1980-2010) who accused me of thinking…
Once kid's brains are embedded with AI, it will be worth a fortune. People will not be trained to think without the AI part of their brains. Privilege will include being able to afford the very best in AI. Affirmative action will become making decen…
The plan is probably to try a gerrymander of Statewide and Congressional districts, not by moving borders, but rather by deleting or discouraging wrong voters. I imagine the easiest and most successful might take the form of find fault with the vote…
Maybe it is simple. Perhaps they try to extort personal or campaign funds from people found in the documents. Those who pay up get their pages held back. Those who don't get their pages sent on. It takes a while to make such deals.
Will it even matter how "we the people" actually vote in this next election? I imagine if all the interference plans don't work, the obstruction to actually allowing the government to operate at all, by Constitutional intent, will be in full force.
@larryB Believe it or not, I agree. I was just trying to find some motivating factor that might be leading to all the really horrible things that are going on. I have a WHY? problem, I guess.
Wandered OT sorry. I think it only human of me that the more chaos that is created the more I think there is some really damaging stuff in the Epstein files that they want under the radar until the 2026 election is over. If that is the or a motivati…
@Anna Thanks for your comments, especially cooking time. Lois seems to use booklet that came with fryer & their time recommendations seems to be to long.
Enjoy your meal, Derf
I found that out too. I thi…
I use it at least twice a day. Breakfast sandwich? One sliced precooked frozen biscuit (or English muffin) with a dab of butter. One precooked frozen sausage patty. A biscuit size slice of cheese. 400 degrees for 2 minutes. Put in biscuit and sausag…
I have concluded, until all is uncovered, that I could probably find many of the current ICE/other thugs among the June 6th Capitol thugs. If so, cover the faces so no one knows. Paranoid, perhaps but uncover the faces and change my mind.

I remember the good old days when I seriously looked at things like PE ratios and rightly moved money in the late 90s and in 2007. But I haven't been able to brag since then and find myself sitting at age 77 with lots of dollars and not e…
Something tells me someone needs to keep an eye on every pennynickel of outflow from every pot of money managed by every loyalist and organization/company that spends taxpayer tariff/sales taxes along with the rest of the normal revenue.
I think we should go all in. It seems to just be an AI "infrastructure" fund making decisions with an AI algorithm. Might be just the ticket (until that UFO lands and takes a swipe). Bolding mine because my first thought was, as in the future captur…
Oh goody, was wondering where I would put those spare Uranueos I forgot to exchange and this is perfect. Next time I take an off-world trip, I won't need to remember to exchange the currency before I rocket back.
Were he in his mind, I would need to believe that I am out of my mind. (I do not choose to do so.) For example, I have pushed my brain to figure out any way high tariffs can possibly be in the benefit of the PEOPLE of the United States (or segments …
I imagine it is a geopolitical situation that no one knows quite what to predict including market responses. One can forecast probabilities based on some sort of assumptions, but those forecasts would, IMO, lack a well-developed model.
The problem is that since the SCOTUS is willing to ignore both the Constitution and the laws, how can a military leader judge what is or is not legal? Once refusing to use a large body of troops in an "illegal" operation, what is next? A military at…
I think Trump is so bitter that he will only be satisfied if he can transfer the means of life itself to his own hands to be doled out or NOT, at will, to only people who call him Your GodShip. He would love to be able to control whether you get any…
Maybe if we seized Greenland and sent ICE to the not yet iced enough land to shoot up the faces of a few socker hockey moms, the people of Greenland would cheer over their newfound over ICEed safety.
Yesterday I realized that, although it is predicted that the House will change hands, it is accepted that the Senate cannot. Something about the Republicans up for reelection being from solidly Republican states and a couple of the Democrats being f…
Timeless and always will be.

The Eastern world, it is explodin'
Violence flarin', bullets loadin'
You're old enough to kill but not for votin'
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'?
And even the Jordan river has bodies f…
