Scream Dracu-Dem Scream!

Last time I checked, it's STILL Black History Month. This thing just goes on and on and. . .you may recall in the past that I related my own appreciation for black history, because I actually sat through both the main motion picture, Blacula, and its sequel Scream Blacula Scream! Yes, these were produced several decades ago, but I remember watching intently and educating myself about everything I need to know about the -- what do they call it? -- oh yeah, the black experience.

But that aside, the thought of these old movies caused me to think of President Trump and his blitz to uncover corruption and theft of financial resources from the American people.  While Republicans have their own closeted skeletons, it's just incredible how so many rotten facts continue to emerge regarding Democrat-initiated horror stories.  Trump and Elon Musk are apparently starting to open up a number of secret corruption coffins occupied by, yes, Dracu-Dems and their thirst for money -- your money.  Some vampires suck your blood and some suck your money, and this species of vampire rat clings to the money artery and sucks it under cover of bureaucratic darkness.

Scream Dracu-Dem scream!

Just look at New York's Schumer, Jeffries, James and a bevy of the usual leftist subjects as they scream like hell over Trump's hatchet-wielding attempt to audit USAID, the Treasury Dept. and the Dept. of Education, among others. Oh! Oh!  National Security! they shout, pepping up their always-faithful supporters who take to the streets at the drop of a cheap hat.  Or suit.  Suddenly, the Democrats' former darling Musk is a monster intent upon cracking the files of Social Security recipients and others because he wants to -- what?  Clean up waste?  How about Medicaid, how about Medicare?  How about all the expensive regulations encouraged by federal unions over time, the kind of thing that keeps corruption safe from prying eyes?

Scream Dracu-Dem scream!

37 million dollars to Politico from taxpayer funds?  Other amounts to various established "news" sources who, as we can plainly see, are paid to make the left look go-o-o-o-o-o-d.

Scream Dracu-Dem scream!

Look!  ICE is rounding up people who don't belong here, border invaders who suck tax money as fast as the politicians who welcome them to the USA.  Look! ICE is coming for stinktuary shities, AKA sanctuary cities, willing to arrest mayors and others who stand in their way of enforcing the law.  Meanwhile, "immigration attorneys" are out before the always willing TV news cameras, dramatizing the injustice, the injustice of it all!  Apparently, once one attempts to rid the world of human-trafficking and drug-running cartels, the immigration attorney class moves in to take their place (and profit generally remains the driving motive, if not a desire  simply to screw around with the Constitution).

Scream Dracu-Dem scream!

Legal types and others running for the hills now that so much left-sided corruption resulting from January 6 and Trump's "impeachment" attempts is coming to the surface have every reason to worry, for prison cells occupied by so many J6 participants who shouldn't have been condemned to a life behind bars are now empty, awaiting folks who really belong there.  That Trump asked for 10,000 National Guard troops prior to the January 6 riots, only to be denied by Pelosi and the DC mayor, is another factor in his favor, but of course the press doesn't care to explore that.  That no police officers were killed during January 6 during the DC riot-and-not-an-insurrection remains hidden among many leftists inclined to ignore the truth.

Scream Dracu-Dem scream!

We hope the courts will get out of the way and allow Trump and his trusted associates (younger ones, too, a reflection of America today) to basically audit America's spending, wherever the search leads.  The "Deep State," NGOs and unelected bureaucrats who will do anything -- anything -- to avoid the spotlight because of extreme financial mismanagement are exactly the targets the Trump administration needs to tackle.  The still-complicit mainstream media will continue to say and write all manner of absurd things to deflect attention away from the political left which has, for decades, given them sustenance.

Scream, you bastards, scream!

Celebrating Black (yawn. . .) History (zzzzzz. . .) Month

Here we go again.  Like drug commercials dwelling among TV nightly news shows by the ton, here come a rapid-fire barrage of daily accounts and televised feature stories about black history.

Why?  Isn't it way beyond time to discontinue this artifact of the so-called civil rights struggle era?  With the arrival of the Internet, interested people and organizations have before them a treasure chest of black history, requiring no longer a need to plaster posters and in-your-face reminders everywhere of the good, the bad, the ugly, the black and the brown.

I know, I'm just some old white guy, and to some this kind of talk makes me suitable to wear a Klan outfit as I burn crosses in the yards of colored people of color colored folk.

Actually, when I served in Air Force hospitals during the Vietnam years, many of my patients, obviously, were of other colors, and I treated everybody equally.  At one hospital, my supervisor was a black man and he wrote glowing performance reports about me.  Probably because I'm such a racist.

Nevertheless, for reasons which escape me in 2025, we're again doing a month's worth of tribute to black history, same old, same old, and I suppose I should contribute something of substance -- so here are my meager offerings:


o  Law enforcement personnel overwhelmingly kill many more white people than black people every year, FAR more.  There is not a national attempt for cops to seek out and purposely murder black people -- with the caveat that yes, there is a tiny percentage of bad cops who do terrible things to people of all races, and they are generally found out and removed.  No credible officer gets out of bed each day and plots to murder individuals encountered during his or her shift, and the fact that certain so-called black justice entities work hard to keep this lie alive in the public light should tell us everything we need to know about their intentions.

o  Black people murder more black people than any other race involved in black homicide.  You just don't hear about the statistics by way of the complicit legacy media.  You never have to any fair degree.

o  Democrats are the original racists, responsible for the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow laws, lynching of black people, and as strident obstacles against and opponents to civil rights legislation in Congress (thank the Republicans for getting such legislation passed).  By twisting facts over the decades, the political left has managed as if by magic to make those on the right appear the enemies of black civil rights and they the shining champions.

o  Everybody's favorite lovable Democrat Joe Biden and his gang purposely flooded the United States with millions of illegal aliens, and those invaders threatened and took away jobs usually held by black people because they accepted lower wages. Employers hiring at the back door were delighted, while you, the colored people of color colored folks were shut out.  THIS is black history in America.

o  Immigration attorneys:  They're a part of black history because some of these folks are currently working to keep illegal aliens in the country, keeping jobs black people might otherwise have.

o  Martin Luther King.  Hmm.  Well, those secret files are coming out and I think I'll just let this one go for now. . .just in case. . .

o  George Washington Carver (1864-1943).  Yes, that old black textbook standby. the U.S. botanist and agricultural chemist who invented multiple uses for peanuts, soy beans and sweet potatoes.  Loved by all, just think of how despised he might have been, had he invented hundreds of uses for spinach, kale and brussels sprouts.

o  Bessie Smith, Robert Johnson and all the black jazz and blues singers of the 1920s, thirties and forties whose heartfelt and soulful songs make rap and hip-hop as worthless as dog poop on a guitar pick.

o  So, is an African-American African or American?  To be born in America, but needing to tack the African designation onto the American word as a prelude comes off as a bit schizophrenic by now.

o  Black Lives Matter is also a part of black history, but you might want to check out BLM's own history in detail.  It's not exactly pretty.


Well, that's about it for my contributions to Black History Month this year.  Yes, I'm aware that somewhere on the calendar is White History Month, sort of, but nobody much cares about that or anything good created by those of such forgettable ancestry.

The CH Curse

Did we in the U.S.A. just get knocked on our ass?  According to news reports over the weekend, it appears that CHina may be a few steps ahead of us on computer CHips and the rush toward having super artificial intelligence. Equally as devastating, CHina may have accomplished this giant leap forward without the need for ultra-clean and expensive manufactured CHips, using instead the same ol' same ol' CHips already long in circulation.  "DeepSeek" is the CHat application that apparently took the world by silent storm.

This is one of those times when one hopes our intelligence community knows and controls far more than some are shaking in their shoes and peeing in their pants about today.  But if accounts are accurate, it may be that we've been wasting our time building mega-sanitary CHip manufacturing plants requiring vast environmental compromise and costs reaching through the roof and all the way to the next galaxy.

Is cheap and fast the phrase of the day in CHina?  Is the elegance and fanfare involved among American corporations and politicians searching for issues upon which to stake their futures ultimately a mere circus tent for those who appreciate pomp and circumstance?

Should we end up "CHatting" with CHinese AI as it continues to invade and overtake our computerized lives and infrastructure, our trail of information desired will always lead back only to the version of sanitized truth the CHinese communists desire.  Kind of like the lies and censorship Biden's evil accomplices provided, except this time it's all communism all the time.

Have the CHinese acquired the formerly all-USA philosophy of just-get-it-done, ditching regulations and inspectors which have become so top-heavy in the states?  If so, that's typical CHina -- and maybe we shouldn't be surprised.

But on Monday morning we were surprised.  Now what?  Can we just produce CHips at home as easily as constructing a basement or garage meth lab?  Can up-and-coming USA companies holding their hands out for billions of CHip production dollars get the job done for a few million instead?  Or multi-thousands?  Smaller and more efficient factories?

The CHinese CHip story is bound to roll over and change quickly, once the government and media get together to offer words of either comfort or worry.  Under Trump, we'll hope for and anticipate the truth for a change.

Illegal is as illegal does:  No, you can't put lipstick on a pig and make it less of a pig.  Anybody who crosses our southern or northern borders against our laws is guilty as hell, period.  "Just looking for a better life" is lipstick on a pig.  Aside from illegal aliens and cartels paying off agents to transport instant felons, the other criminals of concern are the multitude of religious organizations who encourage illegal immigration and then grab government money for care & feeding once the hordes arrive.  Me, I am particularly impatient with options run by the Catholic Church, which has long been expert at accumulating the world's unfortunate and then making American taxpayers pay the bills for care in perpetuity.  We don't see the Church selling off its gold and art in Rome to cover these expenses, do we? But don't focus just on That Church.  There is plenty of taxpayer money-grabbing to go around via non-government operations and, of course, many other religious "services."

As Donald Trump orders individual and family criminals out of the country, religious and other affiliations with their hands out can put them back in their pockets and find some other way to be neighborly, something incapable of soaking the American taxpayers for as much as a parasitic entity can grab.

Designated Survivors

When congressional officials attend such affairs as The State of the Union address or, as occurred a few days ago, presidential inauguration ceremonies, it has been customary for years to leave behind one member of Congress who would become the voice of presidential authority in the event of a fatal mass casualty event.  This person is known as the designated survivor.

"Designated survivor" seems to have acquired an additional definition this month, as of January one. With the exit of the despicable Biden gang and the entrance of Donald Trump, we have all become survivors, designated by all indications to regain shattered rights and respect for, rather than abject fear of, the federal government.

As Trump gave his first speech on Inauguration Day, the cowardly, self-serving (and treasonously manipulative?) Biden was arranging pardons for his family with only minutes to go in his role as President, lest any legal problems crop up in the future. These pardons, combined with other pre-emptive actions, bend the very option of legality to the mat, and we hope the courts will become involved and reverse this dangerous attempt to predict the future.  If a family member chose to commit murder a week from now, would the blanket pardon make prosecution impossible?  Various things coming to light now make me question whether the election of Biden four years ago might have been assisted by other factors.

Yes, Trump issued pardons as well, about 1,500 to the "J6" people ("hostages") in prison for storming the Capitol.  Isn't it about time?  Horror stories regarding prison conditions have leaked out little by little, and we're sure we will be bombarded with many more now.  When one learns that just one now-released prisoner from Florida was held for three years without so much as a bond, it's a little difficult to believe this is America.  When somebody is held in solitary confinement and deprived allegedly of even basic rights, we should be terrified.  When you arrest and convict a grandmother or others who just happened to be in the area -- and when you discover that certain prison areas were set aside JUST for Trump supporters -- questions must be answered in depth.  Behind much of this was Biden's helpers, devious and dangerous and often stupid in their actions, one and all, and in a fair and perfect world prison cells currently evacuated by J-sixers would be promptly filled by Biden administration personnel from numerous levels of the so-called people's government which thinking minds hope is never to return as the leftist rats' nest it was.

Hours after Biden left Washington for the last time as Chief Executive, I couldn't help but notice how Trump, after signing Executive Orders squashing Biden's own, graciously threw signing pen by signing pen out into the audience of his supporters, instead of awarding them to congressional representatives or dignitaries as they traditionally are.  To me, this small gesture said a lot about Trump's concern for the people he serves, people like us.  Yes, there fly a lot of theatrics in the land of Donald Trump, but he is a performer as well as President x2, and we're not likely to see another quite like him ever again.  That, for sure, accounts for the charm effect, like him or not.

Predictably, as Trump began signing Executive Orders generally intended to reverse Biden's disastrous instructions, his orders regarding illegal immigration and birthright citizenship attracted a waiting-line beehive of officials from at least 18 states, the ACLU, the ever-complicit legacy media and others intent upon fighting Trump in court (and here I stood, ready and willing to remove the anchors from anchor babies so they could float up and away, back over the border, never to return).

Seems to me, the 14th Amendment was intended to preserve and remove from question the citizenship of slaves living in and born in the United States, but the ACLU and other activists insist upon putting blinders on everybody and turning illegal into legal as they strangely embrace the sexual and invasive functions of those who come here against our laws and manage to drop infants like cockroaches in hopes of remaining forever.

This argument for birthright citizenship should have been put to bed by Congress long ago, but perhaps its ramifications will finally end up in cool deliberative hands when posed by Trump's government attorneys.  Or -- or maybe the quagmire will emerge to join the nearly impenetrable D.C. swamp.

Meanwhile, it's just so incredible, yet not out of character, that the leftist-activist mainstream media went right back to exercising the only worthless skill at which they excel:  Attacking Trump.  Both this entity and the extremist Democrats they serve, nation destroyers one and all, just don't get it.  Their time is over and most Americans demonstrated through November's popular vote that a vast majority have had enough of their lies, censorship and efforts to put illegal aliens (that means criminals, mamma) on pedestals with more rights than imaginable, while slickly demoting average Americans who may as well have become denizens of some Third World fantasy under authoritarian Democrat rule.  Enough!

While the rest of Trump's Executive Orders are enticing and necessary, I'm sure a significant population is more interested in his promise to release the secret government JFK files.  Really, I'm pretty much done with President JFK, great though he was, but I'd much rather have a huge release of UFO information -- the hardcore stuff, not the cow chips.

New Year's Rage-O-Lutions, 2025

One's personal promises for changes to occur in an unfolding new year seldom materialize, and my entry today isn't really about my own resolutions for 2025.  If it were, I would be writing something vague about the biggest comet in the universe slamming into the Earth -- but, hey, this isn't really about me, so. . .

Nevertheless, there could be some welcome changes, few of which stand a chance, in the coming year.  What follows is a list of New Year's wishes, but more likely observations, not in any particular order of importance or futility:

1.  Unions on the rebound:  One of the most captivating things about employees' sense of attraction to unions is an organized aura of belonging, a comfortable place where workers feel they may dwell with those of a similar mind.  Karl Marx would approve of this concept. . . as a start.  Anyway. . . Once Joe Biden and his unelected union buddies took power, an incredible years-long decline in labor union strength magically reversed itself, and suddenly major and smaller unions began popping up everywhere.  This became particularly noticeable because with union power came workers' strikes and in certain instances outrageous demands for increased pay and benefits.  Aside from the era of "sweat shops" and miserable treatment of employees, there was a time when people were grateful to have and survive with a job. Currently, a wealth of union-instructed workers consider their employers an enemy which they are entitled and obligated to attack in the name of some often nebulous unfairness.  Truth is, the primary reason we currently experience strikes and unhappy workers stems from the Biden administration having caused prices to rise and products to become unavailable in the name of "green" efforts and attempts to make every American subservient to the Democrat Party's whims and contempt for personal liberty.  The end result?  Thanks to Biden's disastrous monkeying around with inflationary demons, consumers have now become a large debtor class.  And the unions?  While some incredible contracts continue to be negotiated as unions hold America hostage to their demands, workers gain more money on payday -- and non-unionized shoppers can no longer afford the products whose prices are raised as a result.  While unions once served an important purpose in American society, everything now seems akin to mass kidnapping and extortion behind the union label.  If Donald Trump can return the American economy to its original appearance, chances are that union influence will again begin to crumble -- as it probably should.  When union influence becomes overwhelming, we drive off the cliff and suddenly everybody makes the same income, no matter their talents.  Unions also tend to reach deeply into their bag of legal tricks to protect bad and evil employees from firing.  There's a reason why union influence in older years relied upon violence and a thug element:  To keep members, government and law enforcement in line.

2.  New York City:  Because Kathy Hochul, arguably the most inept governor in the nation, proclaimed the NYC subway and transportation system safe -- just before an illegal alien set a sleeping woman on fire, resulting in her horrible death -- I suggest that Hochul, AG Letitia James and prosecutor Alvin Bragg spend a month riding the subway system without any armed security around to assist in case of anything that couldn't possibly happen.  Please note:  Daniel Penny won't be present to save their asses, should the worst materialize.  Speaking of Penny, I wish he could counter-sue the otherwise apparently absent family of the perp he put down, as they are going after him in a civil suit.  Were it up to me, the family would pay Penny for failure to ever take control of their very much out of control son, brother and obviously disturbed family disgrace.

3.  President Biden:  This, this questionably treasonous, corrupt, apparently brain-compromised old bastard cannot leave Office fast enough.  He and his puppet masters are doing everything they can to throw immense obstacles in the way of Donald Trump's plans.  Removing millions and millions of acres of ocean property from offshore oil drilling forever was NOT merely some tip of the hat to crazy environmentalists -- it was intended to insult and weaken Trump.  The worst thing was the fact that this Executive Action deprived Americans of a choice, destined to raise prices and screw over everybody in the nation. Can a president possibly linked inextricably to treason (and China for personal family profit) actually be allowed to bestow pardons upon anybody?  And if, as we now know from those coming forward, a president has been basically incompetent to make his own decisions for nearly his entire term, should any of his executive decisions or instructions under the law be null and void?  What UNELECTED and therefore unauthorized individuals called their own shots and used Biden's name and signature to make certain things so?  Danger and legal challenges seem unavoidable, unless a corrupt DOJ and two-tiered justice system ignore the obvious.  As usual.  And just when can he hear that interview Biden did with the official who referenced his elderly age and suggested he not be prosecuted?  When we watch Biden giving the Medal of Freedom not only to Hillary Clinton, but to George Soros, we  must realize we are truly basking in the land of Biden-Harris nonsense.  The newly-crowned worst President ever just gave Jimmy Carter's failed policies a bit of a warm glow.

4.  If Trump can actually manage to break up a significant portion of the DC swamp and dispatch various government agencies to other states and cities, in order to end a growing centralization which would currently delight any world dictator, the country will benefit.  That Meta's Mark Zuckerberg just reinforced his revelation that the Biden folk intimidated his business and insisted that disparaging information regarding the Covid "immunizations" be deleted -- censored -- tells Americans all they need to know about the lying, ever-deceitful Biden legacy.  Unfortunately, many diehard Democrats will continue to deny and filter the truth in their minds, self-oblivious to the dangers lurking at the national doorway.

5.  California voters made their choice and richly deserve a national stupidity award for electing Schiff to the Senate.  He knew the Russian hoax regarding Trump was exactly that, yet he said nothing about this lie all during his involvement in Trump's first impeachment efforts.  Shame on him and shame on California.  Is it not terrible enough, as we just learned, that California's beauty, lorded over by the likes of Newsom, Bass and other nightmarish progressive Democrats, just burned away a lot more, in many ways a result of green and "climate change" legislation?  Some of us, by the way, have no problems in believing that many of those fires were set by arsonists with an agenda.  Were climate change crazies responsible for some of the carnage?  Were disgruntled illegal aliens involved with setting communities ablaze?  Because at least one suspect has already been arrested, we wouldn't dismiss any terrifying possibilities.

6.  Returning to NY's governor -- can somebody make Kathy Hochul understand why we have the Electoral College, and how if we didn't the election outcome would be determined every time by three, four or five large cities (which, conveniently, always swing Democrat)?  This is not brain surgery for those with actual functioning brain tissue.

7.  Conservatives should dwell upon the fact that the USA is a constitutional (or, if you like, democratic) republic, not a pure democracy.  The difference is so enormous as to make one quite unlike the other.

8.  Republicans need to leave women alone when it comes to reproductive choice.  The GOP and Bible-belt folk cannot make headway by treating women as cattle, despite one's religious beliefs.  However. . .

9.  A man cannot become a woman and a woman cannot become a man, neither physiologically nor anatomically.  Allowing one gender to use the other gender's bathroom facilities or to compete in sports as a gender you are not is just wrong, and for women facing men who think they are women the consequences can be physically disastrous for the women.  Why do we fight something which is the epitome of common sense?  The national and global bunch who encourage this nonsense need to be put in their place.  Putting the equivalent of mad scientists with a ridiculous gender agenda in charge is just crazy and dangerous.  When these credentialed drug pushers and scalpel slashers ask whether a parent wants a transgender son or a dead suicide daughter, the proper answer is that if one allows trans surgery at a very young age the chances of unhappiness and suicide later in life are far more likely. Wait until you're 18, or maybe later, kids.

10.  As illegal aliens (criminals, one and all) are rounded up, let's not forget in 2025 how we came to be in this situation, and the answer is pretty much the same all around:  Democrats.  Let's teach this fun fact in every high school, college and university in America, just so there is no confusion.

11.  If RFK Jr. or somebody with similar goals is confirmed, we all hope to see toxins and strange chemicals removed from what used to be called food, but is now better regarded as "better living through chemistry."  What food production corporation will be the first to step up and stop poisoning us? The seed oils must go, replaced with beneficial olive oil, coconut oil or other far less-machined substances. But. . .

12.  We now fret over micro-plastics, which according to new studies seem to have broken through protective body barriers and have now invaded our major organs.  That means hearts and brains especially, for those who don't know or care about the difference between a fibula and a sternocleidomastoid.  My prediction as nobody in particular?  Such tiny plastic "insulators" may eventually interfere with brain and heart electrical signals.  This idea is coming out of my head, so consider the source.

13.  "Stink-tuary" cities:  Oh, burn in hell!  Trump needs to send in heavy equipment just to move the fat-assed mayors, governors and others who dare stand in the way.  How can one ignore an "undocumented immigrant" who wasn't occupying a space four years ago?  Taxpayers are outraged at needing to pay for this needless mess which never should have happened.  Democrats, Democrats, Democrats!

14.  Something needs to be accomplished pronto regarding the nation's power needs.  Toxic solar panels and landfill-nightmare wind turbines will not come close to quenching the thirst of artificial intelligence, and nor would there be much electricity remaining for just plain folks.  Modern nuclear technology may be the best option short of discovering super-energized urea pits on Saturn.  If Bill Gates suddenly embraces nuclear energy for AI, why can't the rest of us common folk enjoy its now safe construction?

15.  A sea of attorneys in Congress:  Somehow, we should strive to elect anybody but lawyers, as Congress and DC are top-heavy with them.  There's nothing wrong with having attorneys representing constituents, except there are just too many at the government trough, and similar minds can breed evil as well as good.  Just look around.

16.  Cheap and easy cars:  We need to make cars affordable, and along with that they need to be as chip technology-free as possible.  If you can't roll down your own window or lock the doors by hand, there is something seriously demented about you.  If China can build a $12,000 car, our factories should be able to turn out a $10,000 automobile.  Trust me, auto makers have the know-how but, as with everything else, government gets in the way.

17.  Every human on this planet is a predator.  Since we're so willing to spend money soothing border-jumping criminals, let's instead spend it to care for both wild and domestic animals and wilderness areas which face our wrath, stupidity and insanity every day as we persist in depriving critters of habitat.  In 2025 I feel we're just going to continue destroying, but calling it building something.  It's what we do.

18.  Matt Gaetz:  If one looks carefully under the surface of the controversy surrounding his past, it becomes increasingly curious that a couple (?) of U.S. senators most "concerned" about his perhaps not quite so naughty resume' stood to be in his line of fire for their own discrepancies, had he gained power in Trump's administration.  How much of the information regarding Gaetz is actually pure lies intended to keep a potentially lethal investigative attack dog from going after exactly the right people currently wielding immense power in government?  We suspect the story behind the story is quite disturbing.

19.  TV and you:  The extensive proliferation of commercials into every TV program now is so annoying as to be almost criminal.  Wouldn't it make perfect sense for TV networks, local stations and sponsors to subsidize at least 75 percent of what we pay when purchasing televisions, since the cursed things have become little more than sponsor messaging devices?  Commercial TV has never been more commercial, and one cannot escape the advertisement onslaught in other modes, either.  I won't even try tackling the issue of TV networks cutting old movies and TV programs to bits in order to ram in even more commercials.  

20.  On a similar note, RFK, Jr. or the FCC really should take a tip from other countries and forbid drug companies from selling their prescription chemical concoctions over the air.  Instead, allow physicians familiar with the science behind each new name-brand drug to decide what is and is not appropriate for patients -- a far better solution than having patients beg for something slickly portrayed on a TV commercial whose chemical compilation they can't even comprehend, beyond TV screen videos of puppies and happy people jumping from cliffs.

21.  Maybe the FCC could regulate national news programs so that every time a reporter calls something "controversial" words flash on the screen indicating that the words, "common sense" should be substituted.

22.  Uranus:  Somebody needs to change the name of this planet.  This is much too regal a heavenly body to be mired in semantic references to bodily functions or parts.  And you just know that sooner or later the "woke" bunch will attempt tweaking the designation to Theiranus, We'reanus, Hisanus or Heranus.

23,  Canada and Greenland, per Trump:  Hey, I understand he pays a good price to acquire real estate.  The USA would love to welcome you, and Trump can probably arrange discount cruises along the Panama Canal for you folks after he takes it back and kicks China out.

24.  A special observation for psychotics:  Though the voices in your head told you that you should "kill them all" in 2024 but you carelessly neglected to do so, I'm pretty sure that plan of action could carry over into 2025, but I'm no expert and you really need to consult a mental health care associate for a determination, as this is not a decision to consider lightly.  However, if it's actually your cat advising you regarding your murderous tendencies, don't trust the cat!  Felines are cute, but notorious liars. They love to kill things, indiscriminately use the litter box and then rub their butts across your face in bed.  Are you crazy enough to trust the advice of a cat?  Opt for those voices in your head, or from somebody else's head instead.

25.  NY City again:  If some government agency could just pass out brains in the city, a majority of citizens would vote Republican or conservative and Democrat-inflicted wounds could begin healing.  Ditto Southern and all of California as of especially now.

26.  Bon voyage, anchor babies!  At least, we hope so.  No more birthright citizenship, an option never intended for illegal aliens in any respect.

27.  Bon voyage, Justin -- or make that Jussie -- Trudeau!  Canada may start to smell a lot better, should it remain free of your authoritarian influence.  Never again, northern neighbors, never again. . .

28.  The cozy relationship between government and the media must go. It's uncomfortable yet refreshing to watch viewers and readers abandoning the legacy media in order to get their news from Internet sources, but we hope the mainstream press takes a good long look at itself and realizes that news reporting affected by one's personal or corporate activism does not mix well in the final product.

29.  What will all of these up-and-coming chip manufacturers do when the sun gets around to sending another gigantic EMP our way and destroys absolutely everything running on chips?  It's funny how some major publications and news sources are JUST beginning to reckon with the horrors of "The Carrington Effect" of 1859. when a giant EMP (electromagnetic pulsation) from the sun took out, set fire to and burned telegraph equipment on Earth -- an event, if occurring today, could instantly kill off every chip and electronics industry on the planet, along with the entire electrical grid.  A welcoming back of the Stone Age, officials say.  I guess stock in AI would be cheap, to look on the bright side?  Another mega-EMP is, one would surmise, inevitable, a when and not an if.  Our expectations so quickly can degenerate from brilliant ideas to piles of ashes.

30.  Which is better (choose one)?  (a) Mad scientists plot to destroy every human on the planet with lab viruses.  (b)  Scientists advancing artificial intelligence work to destroy every human on the planet with the computer invasion.

31.  UFOs:  Will we ever know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?  Do we even know or care what truth is, or shall we just attend endless parties featuring drugs and alcohol so we don't notice what flies, hovers and allegedly abducts people right in front of us?  The TV show, "Full Measure" featured a brief report on current UFO (UAP) status this past weekend, and one doesn't leave the program with any confidence in decades of government denials.

32.  And a further word about UFOs and a return to the subject of EMP:  Even in the fifties, UFO investigators referenced potential electromagnetic interference caused by UFOs when vehicles stalled on highways and back roads in the presence of strange objects from the sky.  EMP clues appear to apply in numerous instances, be they sun-involved, UFO-precipitated -- and maybe even part and parcel pf the "Havana Syndrome," where health effects on government personnel possibly exposed to dangerous energy levels wielded covertly by enemy sources recently became more likely than previously believed, according to an updated government report.
