I am just wondering?

It has been
said that time is our most precious commodity.
But time is not a precise interval. As a child, time moved like a snail. It seemed that it was an eternity between one
Christmas and the next, or never-ending months until the end of the school
year. Now, as an old man, time flies
by; weeks, months, and years seem to meld into one entity, in a rapid death
march to oblivion.
We depend on
time to order our lives; we think of time as a standard interval, but time is
actually a variable. Time moves more
slowly on top of the Empire State Building than it does on the ground floor. Time
slows with speed and can be bent by gravity.
Actually, time
is a concept invented by man in order to understand and regulate the world
around him.
But the
universe doesn’t care. In the universe,
there is no time; just NOW. We may be
able to discern different NOWs, but that is only a human concept.
A DIFFERENT
NOW:
Two ground
stations – A and B – thousands of miles apart.
Ground
station A transmits a signal once every minute.
Ground
station B receives the signal once every minute.
A supersonic
aircraft leaves ground station A for ground station B.
Because the
aircraft is moving away from ground station A at supersonic speeds, it receives
the signal from ground station A at one-minute and twenty-second intervals.
When the
aircraft receives the signal from ground station A, it simultaneously transmits
a signal.
Ground
station A transmits a signal every minute, the aircraft transmits a signal
every one minute and twenty seconds, ground station B receives the signal from both
ground station A and the aircraft simultaneously, at one-minute intervals.
One minute
between ground stations A and B equates to one minute and twenty seconds on the
aircraft.
Time is elapsing
more slowly on the aircraft than on the ground.
But that is
only a human concern, because the Universe doesn’t give a fuck.

ICE will be deployed
to voting sites to arrest and harass Hispanic voters.
Military
units will be deployed to cities to squelch protests.
If Democrats
win either the House or the Senate, Trump will say the election was rigged, martial
law will be declared, and voting machines will be confiscated.
But, it couldn't happen here?
Could it?
Welcome to
America's 1984

Multiple assassinations of political pundits occurred, and the only reaction from Republicans was Thoughts and Prayers.
Kirk's assassination, though tragic, is now being used to construct a martyr to enrage the MAGA base and distract from Republican overreach.
Just saying

You can’t
make this stuff up: We have a man with a worm in his brain, who eats road kill,
and has no medical or scientific background, determining the health policies
for the nation.
Sanity Alert:
Bigfoot
doesn’t exist
The Earth is
not flat
The Moon landing was real
And vaccines
create herd immunity to contagious diseases without half of your family having
to die.
I was a
child during the polio pandemic, and thank goodness Jonas Salk came up with a
vaccine that eradicated polio.
The major medical
contributions of the twentieth century were the development of vaccines.
The lunatics
are now running the asylum. There will
be a cost to pay.

Yesterday, Russia
launched 800 drones and 13 missiles into Ukraine.
The US
response is to withhold shipments of military equipment that the Ukrainian
forces need to defend their territory.
Without openly
supporting Putin’s incursion into Ukraine, which would be unpopular, Trump is
able to actually aid Russia by withholding vital military equipment shipments
authorized by Congress.
Don’t let
the smoke screen of overt support of Ukraine obstruct your understanding of
what is actually happening: Trump is comfortable with Russia winning the war,
or at the very least seizing some of Ukraine’s territory in a lopsided peace
negotiation.
Trump is Putin’s friend.
If it looks like a skunk and smells like a skunk, it is Trump aiding Putin's ambitions of annexing Ukraine.

PRESIDENTE,
GENERALISSIMO, DOCTOR DONALD TRUMP
P.T. Barnum
is supposed to have said; You don’t have to be smart to be a con man – just
smarter than the rubes you are conning.
Donald Trump
is not a bright man, but he has a reptilian instinct for survival.
Being
President protects him from prosecution and props up his fragile ego; so,
Donald has every intention of remaining President for Life.
The seeds
have already been planted, and the plan is underway:
1. The President will activate National
Guard troops in blue states. People
will quickly become unconcerned when seeing military and ICE troops on their
streets.
2. The President has limited powers in
his use of the military domestically, so he has invested billions in a private
army (ICE) that answers only to him.
3. States will be encouraged to modify
their voting maps to advantage Republican candidates.
4. The President will insist that states
do away with mail-in voting.
5. ICE will show up at all voting
precincts to arrest and intimidate non-white voters.
6. Donald Trump will have a sycophantic
Congress that will not certify any election results that do not coronate him as
President.
7. If Trump loses, he will claim
election fraud, declare martial law, and have troops seize voting machines.
8. The country will erupt in violence.
9. Trump will use ICE and the military to
remain in office.
Donald Trump
posed a greater danger to the United States remaining a democratic
Constitutional government than any adversary since the Revolutionary War.
It is what
it is
