Call Me By Your Brain

Even with participation by celebrities such as singer Bruce Mainstream and faded actor Robert Delete-o, Saturday's nation-wide demonstration by the "No Kings" mobs begs the question:  Where were all of you and your signs during the four years when King Biden and the gang illegally allowed millions of strangers whose backgrounds were unknown to enter the country? Not to mention multiple murders committed by invading border monsters! That President Trump and his cleanup crew now need to attempt a reversal of what may have bordered on treason is a direct and necessary result of dangerous actions orchestrated into pure chaos by a radical segment of the Democrat Party which a growing number of Americans are coming to know and despise.  Unfortunately, as midterm elections approach some of us are absolutely convinced that uninformed and feckless voters will bring most of the old UNreliables back to continue chewing our laws and expectations to bits (are you listening, New York?).

 

(Note to Readers: Today I am adding a link to MEMRI,org, a site which keeps track of and translates radical Middle Eastern voices and writings into English.  This service prevents extremists from spreading their messages only among fellow terrorists, believing that few in the West will have the ability to understand their dangerous or, similarly, insane words.  Ha!  And they thought I wrote hate speech?  You haven't seen anything until you check out this new link.)

Bits and Pieces for March 2026

Democrats inflicting pain:  Once again, "the American people," as Sen. Chuck Schumer calls them, are suffering extraordinary punishment under these wonderful Democrats, many of whom now proudly proclaim themselves to be socialist Democrats or Democratic socialists, choose your pleasure. These desperate folks have fallen so deeply into the "Hate Trump" mode that using American air travelers, Homeland Security and especially TSA employees to expand their tantrums is now their apparent policy.  Unfortunately, they are given such perfect cover by the mainstream media that many voters will remain clueless regarding the fools and chaos perpetrators for whom they obediently and characteristically vote in the midterm election.  One cannot simply wish away politically engineered trauma by voting for the same smiley-faced puppet string-pullers every time -- but that's exactly what will happen come November when Americans with either short memories or no information at all exercise their right to elect badly, very badly.

Eat the Press:  We loved watching Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent being interviewed by Kristin something or another on NBC-TV's "Meet the Press," where their question and answer back-and-forth seemed, as always, akin to a rocket scientist trying to explain physics to a kidney stone.

When the only good one is a dead one:  As I recall, when actress Joan Crawford died (and again, oh how I wished I had gone to see her at a Pepsi bottling plant appearance in Valdosta, Georgia during my Air Force years, just down the road. . .) fellow actress Bette Davis was asked to comment.  Remarking that it wasn't nice to say anything about the deceased unless it was something good, Davis allegedly said, "Joan Crawford is dead.  Good."  Which brings us to Donald Trump and his remark that he was glad Robert Mueller had died.  Yes, Mueller had an exemplary military past, but when we consider how Mueller and so many others went on the attack against Trump for falsehoods and invented crimes, don't we wonder where the breaking point comes in?  Trump shouldn't have been so harsh -- but I understand from whence his comment came after extended abuse by officials using their immense power to do bad things to one man.

Chuck Norris dies:  A true motion picture and television legend, the kind whose numbers are seriously in decline, and yet again an actor with former military experience adding to his "edge."  We're quickly getting down to actors and actresses who know little of life more threatening than tripping over their shoelaces on a pickleball court, and it shows on the screen.  I like watching something on recent TV and putting the sound on mute, just watching the acting and facial expressions -- and after laughing I turn off the TV and go back to radio or music!

Illegal migrants continue to kill:  Another one from the past year, this time a young woman shot dead by a tuberculosis-ridden criminal let in under the evil Biden gang.  This will not appear on Democrat re-election posters.

Thank you Obama: For flooding Iran with pallets of cash way back.  They sure put that money to good use, if missiles and nukes are defined as good use.

AI and suicides:  It was only a matter of time before everybody's hands reached into the Internet pie to regulate, ban, censor, arrest and condemn social media instead of simply leaving it alone.  Look, I'm sorry if some beloved teenager sparked a "conversation" with artificial intelligence and in so doing was helped along to killing himself or herself -- but if parents continue holding everything outside the family unit responsible for personal tragedy instead of looking within, difficult as that may be, then all communication skills and tools are in jeopardy.  Just as making temporary shrines of places where roadside automobile accidents claimed the lives of teenagers is no permanent solution to death, attempting to manipulate and legislate the Internet continuously interferes with its true value.  And frankly, this rush to "protect" children on the Internet at the expense of making it restrictive or treacherous for adult use when protection is a parental responsibility is simply wrong.  If somebody on the Net is suicidal or accomplishes the deed, their problems started long before they encountered the computer or smart phone.  This is the bitter pill that few of the parent or guardian class are willing to swallow.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy:  To me, brackets are something one uses for punctuation when writing, or for attaching a shelf to a wall. In athletics, it's something else involving teams and names and apparently life and death itself.

Everybody needs an enemy.  Everybody. Needs. An. Enemy.

You can look upon sports as a friendly competition, but it's not.  The opponent is an enemy and must be.  I'm a better player than you.  Mine is bigger than yours.  If I don't win this game I'll kill you.  I'm gonna put an end to your career.  You're going down.  Mine is bigger than yours.  Only one of us is coming out of this stadium a winner.  Mine is bigger than yours.

My neurosis of the day:  I suspect that our species will perish sooner than we expect.  Maybe we'll get to Mars, but as the future creeps forward we don't appear suited to become a "Star Trek" society.  Hatred and wanting what the other guy has is inherent in our genes and we will literally fight to the death unless some cosmic invader (rock or species) accomplishes the job for us.  Physically and physiologically we just aren't built for space travel without the assistance of something more, and we've already surrounded our own planet with space junk so hazardous that maneuvering through and around it becomes more problematic every day.  And we continue adding to the mix.

We are also sick, unhealthy from unsettled cradle to anxious grave.  Is it the food?  Is it the plastics we eat?  Is it the TV or computer?  Are we microwaving our brains into fine pieces of furniture as electronic beams from all manner of earth-based devices perpetually criss-cross our lives?

Maybe the innocents know -- the animals.  Do they not frequently bear the brunt of our "friendly competition?"  Are animals our enemies, too?  Determined, we erase their presence as we hysterically attempt to preserve ours.

Quick, select one:  Havana cigar or Havana syndrome?

I think we are screwed and afraid to comprehend the horrors and possibilities of situations insurmountable.  But fear not, for I am often wrong, and the musings of today so often merely become the toadstools of tomorrow.

You Don't Have to be MAGA

What did we expect?  United States presidents of both parties AND other international players have let Iran's religious throwback messengers of Islamic doom function for decades without taking them down and out, and here we are.

As petroleum products and everything associated with so-called fossil fuels rise in cost, we hope on a temporary basis, MAGA folk are taking the political hit, and those who dislike or flat-out hate Donald Trump continue to ramp up their hostility.  Oh, and midterm elections are coming up. . .

One need not subscribe to a Make America Great Again philosophy, though if one is a true American I don't know why attempting to improve and enhance our national identity is a flawed idea.  In Congress, the Republicans quiver and quake in their seats, seemingly afraid of now-radicalized Democrats whose options apparently have little to so with supporting a Republic over their vision of a "democracy" which only a dime-store communist could appreciate.

Trump's brilliance is, unfortunately, unseen by those unaware or uncaring that he is reorganizing the entire Western hemisphere in order to keep the USA safe and strong, and as a side benefit other nations may opt to embrace the freedoms which many have been unable to grasp.  How about no nukes from a distant Iran for starters?  How about a lesser Chinese influence reaching across the planet?

In the meantime, we mourn and honor our war dead, and while folks on the street may find it difficult to comprehend why a parent or spouse of a deceased military member would insist that Trump "finish the job," such words are perfectly normal for the military's bereaved as they deal with harsh realities of armed conflict.

In contrast, we again condemn the Academy Awards nonsense on ABC-TV, where none of the self-absorbed egos gracing the stage could bother thanking U.S. military members, both dead and living, for the sacrifices they make which allow such stupid ceremonies to even take place in safety year after year.  Communist f***s some, don't deny it.

We in the U.S. are in debt, terrible debt, much of it from being very kind to the rest of the world -- and by supporting border-jumping criminals (one and all) who wise citizens continue to hope will be tossed out in far greater numbers eventually.

The only possibility of an economic cure, despite current actions in Iran which were absolutely unavoidable, lies with Trump, hate him or love him.  If you still cling to the Democrats, hopeful of some leftist miracle to make our lives, country and world better, keep in mind that nearly every grand Democrat plan which has wormed its way through our national intestines in recent decades screams absurd costs, if not failure.

Not to forget:  Thanks also to the useless Biden and the gang who allowed illegal aliens in by the millions, we now have the worst of Islam invading every aspect of our nation, from government to schools to corporations.  While most Muslims wish to live in peace and do, radical Islam is quite another matter, a religion which is also a government absolutely incompatible with the U.S. Constitution (as you've heard a thousand times by now).  A reading of Sharia Law should chill you to the bone.  Want that here?  Islamists are trying to bring it, right now, in courts and state government seats everywhere.

And estimates that a third to a half of the national debt could go away if we just cut fraud in (mainly blue) states abusing tax dollars should turn every overtaxed and overcharged head in the country.  Wake up America!  Trump has a good chance of being a salvation, not an enemy to your household.  Patience is the recipe, and unfortunately patience is not an abundant human quality in this country right now.

What's Cooking? (Your Brain)

I'm grateful that CBS-TV's "60 Minutes" remains on the U.S. government personnel brain-injury issue in which possible microwave (?) devices invented and assembled by a foreign enemy may indeed be a real concern.  It's just a shame that our American government has been so slow to admit what may be categorized, as was brought up on the program, an act of war against the United States by way of this instrumentation directed by foreign agents. Is Dr. Russia in the house?

As I have written in the past that some close encounters with UFOs may have involved ultrasonics, a theory I developed while working with therapeutic ultrasound equipment in the Air Force in the sixties, I simultaneously treated patients with microwave and shortwave energy and wondered about this application -- but instead concentrated upon the ultrasound aspect.  As years have elapsed, I believe microwave energy may also be acceptable as a UFO encounter side-effect (refer to James M. McCampbell and his book, Ufology).  Then again, we may be dealing with a form of immense energy about which we really have no working hypothesis.

Nevertheless, we hope "60 Minutes" continues to champion instances of government personnel who seem overwhelmingly to have suffered bizarre energy wave attacks.  There comes a point, unless you're in a communist country where throwing a psychiatrist or team of psychologists in the mix to quell legitimate concerns, simply doesn't make sense, and the propaganda boys and girls have no place left to piss away the truth.

Trump and everything else:  He apparently has a long-term plan to make the Western hemisphere safe for the U.S. and our willing neighbors, and if Cuba goes down as did Venezuela, as we watch Iran sway like a tree with rotted roots, a remarkably different future may be in store.  We wish Canada's Mark Carney would get a giant dose of common sense as he plays footsie with China's take-all business sense, and if Mexico could shed its drug empire . . . well, just imagine.

Meanwhile, the worthless American Democrats continue holding Homeland Security hostage (no funding) and kissing radical Islam butt (hello, New York City) -- that is, the religious crazies who insist on killing all Jews and everybody in the West who won't submit to their religion. Isn't it absurd to concentrate on "hate speech" words when the real haters want to murder others with viable weapons?  Does anybody believe the two terrorists who threw an unexploded device into a crowd over the weekend in NY were just joking?!

Regarding I.C.E. -- go get 'em, guys!  What do I want?  I want the estate of the late Alex Pretti charged for the tail light he kicked off a government vehicle my taxes paid for during his first assault on law enforcement.  By the way -- if he was an ER nurse at a VA facility, wasn't he therefore a federal government employee who maybe should not have been doing the protest things he was doing?  I don't know his status or the rules, just suggesting. 

Ayatollah in a Hole-Ah

A fond farewell to the not-so-supreme leader of Iran and everybody who formerly surrounded his commanding evil presence.  Rest not in peace, but in pieces (lots of pieces) y'all.

Several times over the years I have mentioned two young Iranian women with whom I attended medical classes when I was in Air Force training in 1968, but maybe my best recollection occurred in my posting from 2025.  The photo showing them and the rest of us appears below and in the entry here:   https://robert-barrow.blogspot.com/2025/06/before-infestation-decade-before.html
