Survey to identify your ideology.
Vote for whomever you’d like, it’s none of my business. So close to the presidential election, it gets stupid. This year is stupider than usual. Trump gave a big speech at Madison Square Garden, just like the Nazis. Harris gave a big speech at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., just like the KKK. Like I said, stupid.
Joe Rogan’s episode with Trump was just posted on Youtube. It’s midnight, so I’m not staying up to watch it, but thought I’d check in. I was curious how Rogan presents himself.
Here’s Rogan from last week’s episode.
Here’s Rogan for the Trump episode.
Newsweek: Political realignment
This article in Newsweek is evidence that the elite class are finally starting to figure out why they are wrong all the time. The authors did make a fundamental mistake. Trump caused this political realignment. John McCain, Mitt Romney and other establishment Republicans were comfortable managing the decline of America. My younger brother called them puppet-dickheads.
This last week, during an interview with Republican Vice-Presidential candidate JD Vance, ABC’s Martha Raddatz tried to dispel concerns about Venezuelan gangs infiltrating Aurora, Colorado by stating that only “a handful of apartment complexes” in the city were affected. Listen more closely, and that benign-sounding dismissal is actually more sinister than it seems.
Euronews: Fire station burns down.
Germans are known for being smart and industrious, and not questioning their leaders. This leads them to getting too swept up in ill-advised causes.
A fire alarm system wasn’t installed in the building because experts did not consider it necessary.
A new fire station in Germany that was destroyed in a fire, causing millions of euros in damage, did not have a fire alarm system.
Germany has building codes. Someone made the decision to exempt this new fire station from customary procedures. Nobody objected.
Buried in the news report:
The fire broke out on an emergency vehicle belonging to the fire department, which contained lithium-ion batteries and an external power connection.
Lithium batteries burn very hot and are difficult to put out. When an electric car burns, fire fighters don’t extinguish the burning battery, but keep the fire contained. Why did the fire department need an electric vehicle? Because Germans are suppressing the smart part of their brains, and embracing the EV cult.
Here is respected physicist, Sabine Hossenfelder, explaining “Why I’m embarrassed to be German”.
Fox Business: GS increasing dues
The Girl Scouts are none of my business, but a few friends have complained about it, and I’ve seen a few articles, so rather than go outside on a beautiful day, I’m reading up.
Sparky took a dump on the floor in the middle of the night, but I can’t be mad at him. I might be turning into a crazy person.
Sparky was crying a little bit after I had to lecture him and put him in jail for getting into the trash.
The Wild Robot is an animated movie about a robot that is shipwrecked on an island with no humans, but plenty of wild life. The robot needs a task, so ends up with the job of raising a baby goose.
To be a pal, I had to buy some Girl Scout merch. Fortunately, I’ve got a dog. Here’s the unboxing video.
