TIME FLYS AS YOU AGE

 





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.

PREVIEW OF 2026 MID-TERM ELECTION

 


 


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

WHO WAS CHARLIE KIRK?

 





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

HEARD IMMUNITY

 





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.

THE US ANSWER TO THE WAR IN UKRAINE

 





 The US covert support of Russia


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.

PRESIDENT FOR LIFE DONALD TRUMP

 




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
