1) We are clearly under attack. From whom, and why, we don't yet know. 2) There were two more train derailments today. The ChiComs can 3d print train derailers. Yes. That is a thing. 3) Cui bono. Who benefits in different scenarios? 4) Certainly the ChiComs.
5) Would they be so bold? I dunno. These things "could" be easily traced to them. 6) Those of us who were around during al-Qaeda times recall that in fact there were grave concerns about them targeting dams, power stations, and other hard targets. 7) Unlike al-Qaeda, . . .
7) contd . . . though, the ChiComs aren't interested in just raising hell for terror purposes. They genuinely want to strike a serious strategic blow. 8) Would all these things do this? Not on your life. The US has more transport capacity, more river capacity, more rail . . .
9) contd . . . capacity than the next two or three nations in the world combined. We can, even hamstrung, produce more food than Russia, Ukraine, Germany, and Australia put together. 10) My point is, these things are serious, but in the big picture all of the . . .
10) contd . . . food processing fires, power station outages, etc. are certainly hazardous in cases, great inconveniences in others, but even in toto not even remotely debilitating. 11) If the China Virus didn't take us out, this drivel won't.
12) Conclusion: the ChiComs would have to be stupid to be behind this. Even Rutabaga would have to respond with trade sanctions, etc. 13) Random anarchists? It's possible. Folks, remember how we slept through much of the rise of al-Qaeda? Then they blew up 2 embassies, a . . .
13) contd . . . a destroyer, came "that" close to blowing up 10 airliners over the ocean, and blowing up LAX all BEFORE 9/11. Then we finally went, "Gee, these guys are real assholes." And took them out. (BTW, thank you Donald Trump for finishing off ISIS).
14) So while I do NOT think it's random cells of anarchists, we cannot discount that. They may be the 2020s version of al-Qaeda before it's over. 15) An equally reasonable possibility is that this is internal Cloward-Piven strategy. 16) So far, CP has failed to overload America.
17) So maybe this is the next iteration. 18) Related, this could be some whackadoodle leftist DemoKKKrat move surreptitiously backed by Rutabaga to force a backlash into demanding a dictator. 19) Possible. But that accredits leftists with more brain power than I think they have.
19) Happy to consider other options. At present, it isn't clear. It's only clear these are not coincidences. But the grander strategy has yet to be revealed. 20) Are the balloons tied in? Maybe. Again, doubt these are ETs. If so, they are more incompetent than the Palestinians.
21) BUT, if the goal is to direct American responses in one direction or another for nefarious purposes, yes, they could be tied in. 22) For now, stay frosty, report to RELIABLE authorities anything weird, don't report anything to the Feds, and let's see what culprit appears.

We are at a fluid period. There is still a great deal of time for President Trump to begin a walkback. What will that entail if he does or doesn't?
2) Where are we on the vax? It is now entirely reasonable to treat ANY news . . .
2) contd . . . of a young person's death, particularly an athlete, as suspect. Our first response should be skepticism in the direction of a vax.
3) Obviously, the "new anti-vaxiopaths" will treat any death (gunshot wounds and motorcycle accidents) as suspect, and that . . .
3) contd . . . is obviously going too far the other direction.
4) I do not think critics of the vax such as @tracybeanz are anywhere close to this position yet. On the contrary, they are moving us (so far) in the right direction.
Paul Johnson was simply, to me, the best historian in the world. He could research vast galaxies of documents and tell a powerful, compelling story. nytimes.com/2023/01/12/boo…
2) Johnson had a scope that even people such as Stephen Ambrose of David McCullough or David Fischer didn't have.
3) His "Modern Times: A History of the World from the Twenties to the Nineties" is a must read for everyone. EVERYONE.
4) He was my inspiration for writing "A Patriot's History of the Modern World."
5) His "Intellectuals" is a fantastic look at these hypocritical pusguzzlers who try to tell the rest of us how to live.
6) He could be long winded: "Birth of the Modern" is nearly 1000 pp . . .
1) Time for a refresher on Rutabaga & the documents drop.
2) People are suggesting this is the way the DemoKKKrats "get rid of Biteme." Wrong.
3) No one---nobody in the DNC, nobody anywhere---wants the Laughing Hyena Kampuchea Harris as Pres.
4) They will not---cannot---take him out til they remove her.
5) However, they missed their window. The veep must be confirmed by BOTH houses. So prior to a few days ago, they could have put in whomever they wanted. (I maintain they REALLY want Buttplugs).
6) But by not forcing Harris out before the GOP took over, they are pretty much stuck with her barring extreme measures. I don't think they want her out that bad.
7) Which means they are stuck with Rutabaga.
8) Don't forget, the DemoKKKrats just finished restructuring primaries
2) First, very good sounds coming from McCarthy. He clearly knows he must appease MORE than 20, that he had a good 100 who voted for him but inwardly were siding with the 20.
2) Second, time and energy is limited. Don't forget the DemoKKKrats . . .
2) contd . . . did NOTHING for over a year except Patriot Day (J6) terrorism. Nothing.
3) I am completely convinced McCarthy & Rs WILL hold hearings, subpoena people, expose tons. They may send criminal referrals to the Department of InJustic . . . but those will go nowhere.
4) You all knew this. Just don't freak out when it happens. We have 1 and 1/2 of 2/3 of the gubment.
5) So: When it comes to "defund the entire DoInJustice," you know, right, they can't do that? I believe they can make very serious inroads on defunding the 87,00;
