Stuff around the internet

So if Elon pays someone to make another version of the Odyssey, which one would you watch?

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Someone on line mentioned the movie Quigley down under, which I had never watched, and so I found it on Internet archives and while checking it out found a lot of louis L''Amour type westerns there too.

ah, remember when movies had people you liked trying to do the right thing and the films actually had a plot?

...........................

big meeting of Gov Shapiro and Trumpieboy et al to announce investments in the Pennsylvania industries including reopening the Philadelphia Naval yard. However it doesn't seem to have gotten a lot of publicity for some reason.

gee, wonder why.

but if you do a search on youtube for the Phila shipyard you will get lots of videos for the hoax Philadelphia experiment.

Which says a lot about what Youtube thinks I am interested in.

------------------------------------------

Rubio is in Manila for a big ASEAN meeting and has this pithy answer to the never ever biased MSM:

QUESTION: Have you made any progress on Ukraine today? Is Russia serious about peace this time? SECRETARY RUBIO: I mean, you think we settled the war in Ukraine in our 30 minutes here in Asia?

there is a big push for technology in the Pax Silica plan, ere is a including an AI site, using the old Clark AFB site, so the usual environmentalists who never complain about China destroying fishing in the west Phil sea are complaining about it in the SCMP> which used to be a good news source before China took over Hong Kong and it's media.

The state of the nation address will give more information and I probably should post more about this, but it is to the west of our area: Our area is more famous for the huge solar energy farm to supply electricity to Manila.

In the meanwhile, because Rubio is here, China decided to attack another Philippine vessel in the West Philippine Sea, just to show they can cause trouble.

Sigh.

-----------------

Finally, there seemed to be a big astroturfed series of attacks against JD Vance, including one report in a major US MSM complaining he missed a meeting (luckily X added a content explanation: He wife was having a baby).

In addition one of his SSA was leaking information on his location to one of the MSM news sites. Even I am aware he had to move to a military housing for protection.

But anyway, I was wondering WTF was causing the hysterical and coordinated attacks at this time. Maybe because as a veteran he has questions about the war in Iran pointing out that people there do not think like Americans.

Then my automatic feed that I was listening to (I run discussions and podcasts in background when I sleep) sent me to his interview on Joe Rogan. I awoke to this part with a discussion on unions HERE. About unions and the minimum wage and how Europe pays new employees below minimum wage as apprentices, but it is illegal in the USA.

Imagine a discussion without empty rhetoric.

And he is also on other non MSM podcasts discussion his latest book in which he goes into losing and then finding his religion.

the MSM is absolutely hating it of course.

but the alternative media is out there now so we can learn what it is about:

No I haven't read it yet, but will keep an eye out if it gets posted on Scribd//Everand in the near future.

The discussions about the Odyssey means it is now a meme

noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Reyes) — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 02:31:26 +0000

The actress with a masters degree who plays Helen of Troy in the new movie apparently never read the book. DUH.

But one good side effect? Lots of discussion about the movie, both pro and con, and also by experts in archeology, history and literature, mean that the clueless are now aware of the story.

The best thing that has happened to Greek literature since Percy Jackson

Here is a discussion at EWTN to give you an idea of how the movie is getting a discussion of various ideas that it brings up.

I haven't seen the movie although it is at the local mall. I'll wait til it's on Netflix.

but in the meanwhile, bring in the clowns:

the victims of Hamas that the western crybabies ignore

noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Reyes) — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 20:17:02 +0000

The constant propaganda out of Gaza is always ignoring the dirty little secret:

That the war was started by Hamas.

That Hamas stole aid supposed to go to civilians to build tunnels and buy weapons and rockets.

That if Hamas had arrested those behind the attack and given them to either Israel or a neutral third country, the war would never have gone on.

And of course the leftists who hate Israel are parroting the propaganda without examining if the news reports put out by Hamas are true.

But what is worse is that conservative Catholic sites are busy parroting the same line. A remnant of anti Semitism of Belloc or Father Coughlin? Who knows.

But there are even claims that Israelis dancing at a festival never happened, or if it did happen it was okay because all Israelis were enemies so it was okay to kill them

ah but what about the Asians who were targeted by Hamas? Did a Filipina who refused to leave her bed bound elderly patient deserve to die.

and then farther away from that party, there were Asian casualties who had nothing to do with the war but were killed. And these farmworkers are rarely part of the discussion.

Why were they killed? Envy.

Local farmers are hiring Asians to help with the harvest.

This displaces jobs that could be done by local non Israeli Palestinians who no longer were hired for fear of terrorist attacks.

What has not gotten much attention is how the west uses third world farm workers, from Mexicans picking tomatoes in the USA to Indians working in northern Italy.

So the story no one in the west wants to remember is that Hamas didn't just kill the Israelis, but these workers.

From PIME Asia News, a Catholic news site:

Some 46 Thai migrants were killed when Hamas attacked on 7 October. Another 31 were abducted, with three dying in captivity in Gaza. In northern Israel, five were killed by Hezbollah rockets. Despite this, most chose to stay and continue to provide an essential service to Israeli agriculture.

so why were they there? Because instead of accepting the negotiated peace agreement in 2000, their leaders decided to restart the terrorism,

so farmers no longer wanted to risk their lives hiring locals

Thai workers constitute the largest contingent of foreign migrants currently in Israel. The first began arriving in 1993, when the Israeli government started issuing temporary work visas to reduce Israel's dependence on Palestinian agricultural workers for security reasons, in the wake of the first intifada, which broke out in 1987.

no it did not spontaneously break out. It was a decision by their leaders, who weaponized hatred while stealing aid money and getting rich, but of course no one bothers to follow the money stolen in this or many other so called foreign aid help from richer countries.

when I searched for a video discussing the story of the kidnapped Thai farmworkers, I found a few videos from eight or more years ago complaining Israel was mistreating these workers, and a dozen recent videos complaining about Israeli tourists in Thailand.

But I found exactly one video from Australia about one of the hostages.

which says a lot about the zeal of the human rights activists who only condemn Israel.

OR as one sardonic Jewish carpenter quipped: You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.

Slay Magazine reports that Arthur Caplan has discussed how they are using "Grain dead" patients to use for experiments.

Professor Caplan revealed that NYU Langone Health operates a research ward using the bodies of neurologically injured patients for experimentation. Caplan referred to the patients as “neomorts” and the experimental facilities as “bioemporia.”

The NEJM published a dozen pro euthanasia articles in the early 1990s, and as a result I quite the Mass Medical society in protest since that magazine was sponsored by the MMS.

But apparently they are still pushing murder as medicine.

This from 2008

Voluntary Euthanasia — Implications for Organ Donation | NEJM Sep 5, 2018 ·

Canada now permits physicians to hasten the death of a patient by means of physician-assisted suicide or voluntary euthanasia. This development creates a new pathway for,,,

and this one last week:

Contextualizing the Dead Donor Rule in an Era of Voluntary ...

Growing acceptance of voluntary euthanasia, which opens the door to death by organ donation, warrants a recontextualization of the dead donor rule and assessment of the ethical principles involved.

Even NPR is worried.

A new proposal for organ donation sparks concern

Ya think?

the bad news is that this is already being done in Canada (and probably in Europe)....and as Canada shows a move to helping depressed people kill themselves, you can see how easily they can be persuaded choosing death will benefit someone whereas if they stay alive their lives have no meaning.

I will have to figure out full links later of course. But my point is that this is not a popular opinion but one being pushed by those in charge of medicine.

this means the entire Hippocratic Oath has been destroyed by the woke in charge of medicine, yet for some reason it hasn't gotten a lot of publicity, even in my medical reading.

And where the hell are all the bishops and the Pope?

Our cook has turned 80 do we had a party.

some of her kids and grandkids and great grandkids were here and lots of food and a kareoke machine was for entertainment.

No she does not want to quit, even though she has health problems she has more energy than I do

One wishes someone to write her story...migrated from the Visayas, married a tricycle driver and had 11 kids'

.. her family traditionally works for our extended family so she always cooked for my husband when he visited and then full time when we moved here. She is a widow since her husband died of high blood pressure 30 years ago.

One son went to college but died of sudden cardiac death at age 34 and another died of diabetic renal failure. The others work blue collar jobs or tricycle drivers and her daughter is my maid.

gaslighting going on

noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Reyes) — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 14:16:27 +0000

Hello Mrs. Owens,

You told millions of people that Tyler Robinson "wasn't even there." That you felt "confident stating that Tyler Robinson did not kill murder Charlie Kirk."

He was on camera. Prone on the Losi rooftop at 12:22. Shot at 12:23:28. DNA on the screwdriver at 30…
— DataRepublican (small r) (@DataRepublican) July 10, 2026

....

you know, there are hundreds of influences out there, so why the hysteria about Kirk?

And why has Candace Owens constantly changed her story about this?

Can you say "Gaslighting" children?

Candace's supporters are saying she didn't actually say these things. Here are the receipts, most from a single Shawn Ryan interview. I've transcribed every episode on YouTube. There's more. pic.twitter.com/hGFsPFyaB3
— DataRepublican (small r) (@DataRepublican) July 10, 2026

now, I am a Democrat and never heard of Kirk, yet the spiritual cascades coming from his death affected thousands of young people, especially young men. And it affected me in a positive way helping me to get the (Physical) strength to go back to church.

Since I am not an evangelical or a Republican, and I don't live in the USA, I cannot judge if this is still going on.

However, the over the top hatred against him and his widow suggests a major psychological problem: projecting their hatred to someone who is a minor figure in today's world and threatening his widow.

The passionate hatred reminds me of my patients with paranoid schizophrenia: Not the quiet ones who say the CIA or the little green men are taking over the world, but the scary ones who you hope won't start acting on their impulses.

The gaslighting is not just of Kirk's shooting: it includes those who take what he said out of context, or more commonly don't quote him at all but just parrot talking points they read from an internet influencer (Owens is not alone in this you know), nor is this type of hatred limited to one side in today's politics, but when it targets family members it has crossed the line.

Someone who had hundreds of hours of talking on podcasts that are still on line, yet those hating him merely say he is hateful, and take a single distorted sentence out of context to prove it.

and of course they insist anyone who talks about conservative values is hateful and should be shunned or worse.

Not logical. Sigh.

future of farming?

noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Reyes) — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 03:56:05 +0000

I can't find a link, but in season five episode 3 of Clarkson's farm is about the supermechines and high tech farming of the future.

When I fist visited the Philippines, the planting was with waterbuffalo and our staff took off to harvest their fields by hand. We supplied a small thresher to separate the seed from the stem, so that was a help.

But slowly the farmers who now own what was once Lolo's farthers farm, were gifted it by land reform, are now getting older and their kids don't want to work. So they are selling the land to returning overseas workers who rent it out to tenant farmer, often from poorer areas of the Philippines. And now many have sold or rented their fields to the company putting up a huge solar farm in our area.

Over the years, the water buffalo were replaced by handthreshers ((a small roto tiller) and in more recent years, we rent a huge harvester thresher to bring in the crop. We still plant by hand but give it some time and there are machines that do that.

We are organic, and with fertilizer prices going up (first the Ukraine war stopped potash exports and now the increased price of diesel and petroleum based fertilizer) the price of organic fertilizer, mainly from the local chicken and pig farms, is also going up.

So how do we make a profit? We barely make one: and it was made worse when one of the rice buyers absconded after buying it with a check that bounceed.

Sigh.

So yes we are still growing rice in our area, but what is also going on is looking for gold in the subsoil. Not much gold there, but hey when farmers earn less than ten dollars a day, every little bit helps.

I am not sure how many rice paddies are now no longer growing rice, but you have to remember that the Philippines imports food. Of course, the rich businessmen make oodles of money importing cheap rice so they benefit. This keeps the price of rice low which is good for the poor and working class in the cities, but is discouraging for local farmers.

So although I doubt we will ever go as mechanical as the European farm machines shown to Mr Clarkson, what worries me is that their prices will be another blow to local farmers. This happened a few years ago, when cheap imported onions from Europe undercut local farmers prices.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

update;

article about the farm they visited:

In episode three, Jeremy Clarkson and his team cross the border into the Netherlands and Belgium. There, they visit Rotterdam, among other places, where they take a look at the futuristic Floating Farm. A floating farm, in other words. We see Clarkson look skeptical at first, and then become amazed by technology he doesn't actually believe in.

Instapundit has a link to the danger of brain tumors to birth control hormones. the discus discussion is quite interesting.

You know, what no one wants to notice: How the hormones in Birth Control pills cause behavior changes.

The older high estrogen pills not so much but the newer high progesterone ones and the BCShot does.

And don't get me started on the hormones they use for infertility and endometriosis, which we see in older ladies who haven't had babies in their twenties.

(Yes the same medicines they use to transition kids.(and treat certain cancers).

So we pollute out water supply with waste water estrogen and progesterone, not to mention hormones given to animals, and of course phytoestrogens in plastics and Glyphosate in herbicides. So down goes the sperm count. Up goes the metabolic syndrome and obesity.

and no one wants to mention that having and nursing ten kids and running around taking care of them will keep you thin.

the alternative is having ten kids and getting rid of plastics which make life easier and safer (No broken glass bottles). And mass starvation because weeds are destroying the crops.

Sigh.

Will the movie encourage right wing violence?

noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Reyes) — Sun, 28 Jun 2026 00:47:26 +0000

the new controversial movie that is banned in some places (So Elon let it be put on X) is a modern day imitation of Charles Bronson's Death Wish movie.

No, I didn't watch it nor will I watch it in the future because it is violence porn.

So will it encourage right wing nutcases to do the same thing in Europe and in the USA?

Probably: copycat crimes are a known public health problem:

Yet the recent rape gang report in the UK suggests it was covered up, and there are anecdotes that similar crimes are not punished in Europe. So this film will encourage vigilante justice and suggests the use of weapons for self defense might become more common

But no one wants to admit this is already happening: But by the left, and its shocktroops of Antifa.

We read about left wing folk on line spouting non stop hatred of working class folk who are called MAGA, or who are justifying murder and making heroes out of those who murder for political reasons.

one does hope that payback murders against criminals and crooked politicians in the USA and Europe doesn't reach the point of what happens here in the Philippines.

sigh.

I remember the African Proverb that warns: Even a small snake has a fang.

There is a need to spread peace, but alas pacifism always suggests normies need to be peaceful but rarely points out the crimes that they are angry about because the pacifists always underestimate the depth of evil.

refugees unwelcome: Some things never change

Thousands of migrants are fleeing South Africa amid xenophobic violence and ahead of planned anti-immigrant protests on June 30. Malawi, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Ghana, and Mozambique are repatriating citizens following the events, with many camping outside consular offices. pic.twitter.com/ktO5T7gMGt
— Al Jazeera English (@AJEnglish) June 26, 2026

....

So it's not just some in the USA trying to get rid of migrants who flood their country, don't assimilate, steal the jobs of locals, and often resort to crime to live. It is also happening in parts of Europe.

Myself, I oppose sending people back to places like Haiti which is still in chaos, and now Venezuela has had an earthquake, so would you send people there? Regan had the right idea: Those with jobs and assimilated should get an amnesty.

However, the Somalis who defrauded the government via NGO type stuff, and drug gangs, no problem. Throw them out or put them in jail.

Assimilation is a big problem, and in the USA it has been a problem, and local xenophobia against those from a different culture is not a new thing: The Knownothing riots of the 1844 for example was against the Irish Catholics, who were poor and uneducated fleeing the Irish Famine, but their presence exacerbated the anti Catholic prejudices inherited from England. This prejudice was still around when JFK ran for president and he had to point out that he would not push Catholic law into US law, because he would take the oath to defend the constitution: something that ordinary Muslims might want to tell the loudmouths pushing Sharia law into the USA to learn this lesson because their statements about making this into US law is making those of that religion unpopular in some areas.

Most Yanks reading about this (in AlJ, since I doubt the US MSM even knows that it isn't just white Boer farmers fleeing that country) don't realize that South Africa has a problem with African refugees too.

this film was made years ago in 2009, based on a 2005 short film at a time when the huge influx of refugees from starvation and deliberate eviction of the middle class who opposed Mugabe in Zimbabwe filled the slums of South AFrica.

The original inspiration was the treatment of black South Africans under apartheid, but the short film was made to satirize the negative attitudes of South Africans to the refugees.

....'

so remember this film the next time Steven Spielberg and others tell you that the people from outer space just want to help you and are superior.

The refugees in District 9 are slaves who revolted against their masters, and fled to earth. But hey, it could have been worse (/s)

Summary of press propaganda in the UK

noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Reyes) — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 01:43:14 +0000

Lotus Eaters podcast discuss how the UK press distorted the story of a school girl who carried an ax to protect herself and her sister.

a good reporter would have gone into the neighborhood and maybe to the school to see if similar sexual harassment or worse happened to their preteen girls. But no, instead the press backed the government propaganda.

two reasons I posted this:

One: it shows how press bias happened, and it suggests why the press ignored the grooming gangs for the last 40 years

Two: It shows the importance of Twitter in exposing grass roots news stories at a time when the mainstream press is failing their job in exploring the truth.

And suggests the UK aim to stop the internet access is more about controlling the news than about protecting the children

it wasn't just in the UK

noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Reyes) — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 23:33:44 +0000

It is an open secret that illegal migrant women and children are in danger of being sexually assaulted when they travel to the USA.

Unlike European migrants, who tend to be fleeing the wars of the Middle East and include a lot of military age men, in the US, women often migrate because Hispanic culture allows women to be independent, and there are a lot of jobs in the USA for them (factories, nannies, caregivers).

But women and children are more vulnerable to sexual exploitation.

I am too lazy to look up all the details, so I asked Grok about human trafficking in the US and to migrants entering the USA

Answer:
Yes, sexual violence, including rape, by human traffickers and smugglers is a well-documented risk for migrants—especially women and girls—traveling to the US, primarily during journeys through Mexico.
Scale of the ProblemReliable exact numbers are difficult due to severe underreporting (victims fear retaliation, deportation, stigma, or lack access to authorities). However, multiple sources report high prevalence:Amnesty International (2010): Up to 60% of women and girls migrating through Mexico may experience sexual assault. link NBC NEWS LINK State Dept LInk

Other estimates: UN and NGOs have cited figures around 70% for women traveling without family protection. Some reports on Central American women/girls reaching ~80%.
A study on Central American migrants found 1 in 4 women experienced sexual violence (mostly rape), far higher than for Mexican women or men.
These assaults often occur en route in Mexico (Darién Gap, cartel-controlled areas, stash houses in border cities like Reynosa and Matamoros) rather than after US entry. Violence has reportedly increased in recent years with surges in irregular migration, kidnappings, and cartel involvement.
How Human Traffickers/Smugglers Are InvolvedSmuggling vs. Trafficking overlap: Many migrants voluntarily pay smugglers ("coyotes"), but coercion frequently turns it into trafficking. Smugglers use debt bondage, threats, family extortion, and violence to control groups. Rape serves as "payment," intimidation, or control.
Common tactics: Kidnapping in stash houses, gang rape (sometimes in front of families), forced prostitution, or repeated assault during transit. Women may take birth control preemptively knowing the risk.
Perpetrators: Cartels, smugglers, gangs, corrupt officials, and sometimes other migrants. In labor trafficking cases involving Latin American migrants, sexual violence occurs in ~20% of documented instances.
Post-arrival: Some face further exploitation (sex or labor trafficking) inside the US, but the journey itself is the highest-risk phase.
Context and Broader DataMigrants from Central America (Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador), Venezuela, and Mexico are heavily affected. Unaccompanied minors and women traveling alone are most vulnerable.
Cartels and criminal groups profit from both smuggling and extortion/trafficking. Reports note rises in sexual violence consultations by groups like Doctors Without Borders.
unwomen.org US government sources (DHS, ICE, CBP) and NGOs like Polaris document immigrant vulnerability to trafficking. Many detected victims in the US are foreign-born.
Underreporting is extreme—most cases never reach authorities. Data comes from survivor interviews, shelters, medical NGOs, and limited official records in Mexico/US. en.wikipedia.org
This is a longstanding humanitarian crisis tied to irregular migration routes, organized crime, poverty, and weak enforcement in transit countries. Efforts include anti-trafficking programs (T-visas in the US), but risks persist for those using dangerous smuggling networks. For official resources, see DHS Blue Campaign or IOM/UNODC reports.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_assault_of_migrants_from_Latin_America_to_the_United_States

so when ICE points out they are trying to trace 300 thousand vulnerable migrant children lost to follow up and that they have only found half of them, the news then ridicules the report, pointing out (correctly) that many of these children were placed with families who just didn't keep in touch with the govt, or into foster homes.

But that last part ignores that some of these placements were never checked out properly, and that some of the children were diverted into being used for cheap labor or possibly into the black underground of child prostitution.

sigh.

I don't blame the migrants like the Republicans tend to do: If you are poor and have no real opportunities in your country, then yes you will willingly risk death or dishonor to migrate.

This however does not excuse government who didn't regulate the border under Biden (for charitable reasons, as if the open borders might entice immigrants who just want a job, and of course entice criminal gangs to enter).

In constrast, one sees military age Muslim men traveling in boats trying to enter Europe. This site estimates 80 percent. And then they wonder why rape occurs, and the cultural beliefs make this seem not a crime but acceptable.

Most migrants coming to the USA would work if allowed by an amnesty, but with the US being manipulated by the crazies of both parties, they would rather cause disorder to gain political power than to do like Reagan and legalize those with jobs who have no criminal background.

where were those supposed to protect the innocent

noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Reyes) — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 09:53:22 +0000

when the Scottish girl pulled out a knife and hatchett to stop a sexual predator, the police arrested her and a lot of the comments essentially said she was a feral child who was threatening the guy because he was an immigrant.

Well, finally last week, the group who harassed the girls were convicted. It only took a year.

And I wonder: How many other children did they harass in a similar manner.

Well, one answer can be found, not in a report by the UK Govt, but by a rogue MP Rupert Lowe who did his own investigation. I am hearing that the story of the report is not making a lot of headlines in the news, but the report is here if you want to read it and weep.

You know, as the only woman doc in our town (I date back when few women were in medicine) I saw a lot of abuse: some of it was minor (touching only, voyeurism, normal stuff by a boy friend of the same age), but some was horrific.

and worse, when back in the 1980s when the stories came out on TV movies and news programs, a lot of my patients (and my secretary) admitted abuse, often by family members when they were pre teens. The few that did go to court however said the trauma of going to court and being questioned as if they were lying was worse than the actual abuse. Which is why often the abuse if not traumatic, was not prosecuted in the dark ages before 1990.

However, in medical school, on our psychiatric rotation (in the late 1960s) That sex with kids if consensual and gentle was good for them, and they wouldn't have hangups on sex, and since Freud insisted all mental illness was from sexual repression, then a lot of mental illness would disappear.

what changed is women's liberation: Women who went along with the sexual revolution ended up embittered and turned against men.

But the only one who fortold all of this was Paul VI, who was ridiculed for it.

Well, anyway, like the Scottish girl, the background of the UK scandal is twofold: One dislike of the working class, who thanks to welfare etc often have kids with broken families or families destroyed by drugs. And two: The coverup of immigrant crime and crime by the establishment, including alas the police.

In the USA, the Epstein files are a big issue, but those who get hysterical citing this scandal on line don't seem to worry about any other sexual abuse going on, but only to use it to destroy Trump who actually reported Epstein to the cops.

In the USA, what is not being investigated is the sexual abuse in schools, by the drug addicts, and by illegal immigrant gangs who who trafficked them into the USA. Part of this problem was exacerbated by an adminstration who placed unaccompanied kids in homes not properly investigated.

as for the Philippines, the sexual exploitation of street kids and young adults of both sexes by sex tourists is a big problem>

But don't worry kids: The Catholic bishops here, like the Pope, is more worried about the green agenda than trying to protect the innocent.

the clergy are not preaching this, but a young man dared to discuss these things in universities,

I am posting this because all the socialists want Musk to give money to NGOs to help the world. Presumably give money to NGOs who pay six figure salaries and have a high overhead and often divert money into woke projects.

the Hoi Polloi celebrate

WTF?

Yup. The MSM is upset. How dare he.

The actual match is ongoing so I can't post a video of it.

I am not into wrestling or UFC or similar types of sports, but my sons were, and watched wrestling every day if I left them.

He never will get a good press you know: THey hate him

But anyway, Trump is friends with the low level sports types. Here is a video of Trump with the WWF before he ran for president:

part 2

LOL

a lot of the chaos about Trump's negotiating style is best understood if you realize he doesn't play by the polite rules, and chaos is part of his negotiating tactics because it keeps the other side off balance and frantic.

take last week's incident where after an aggressive interviewer wouldn't let him answer the question he walked out...

Welker begged him to stay, saying she had traveled to Wisconsin for the exclusive sit-down. 'Mr President please, I traveled all the way to Wisconsin,' Welker pleaded.

And normal folk just laugh, because we know the high hats ridicule us. When Trumpiboy walked out on an interview, remember she had complained that she was forced to fly all the way to Wisonsin to do the interview and he should respect her for this. In other words, she was implying Wisconsin was outside her comfort zone.

Famous cartoon on the NYC mindset of the MSM:

well, anyway these sports are not my thing, but they are for a lot of folk, including immigrants.

In other sports news, the world cup of soccer is going on aka FIFA... and some of those visiting the US outside the usual tourist stops are astonished to find friendly people and...airconditioners.

USA. Summer. It is 95 degrees outside, and I am shivering inside a sandwich shop.

I have discovered how Americans forge strong souls.

Outside, the sun is trying to kill everyone. Inside this small restaurant, it is winter. My breath does not fog, but it is thinking about it. A… pic.twitter.com/hSaJXpfba2

and yes people do play soccer in the USA (and it is now officially soccer, not football because Pope Leo called the game that).

My son (born in Colombia) joined a local team that included five Central American college students, one deaf mute from the same college and two girls who were ASL translators, and a steel worker from Johnstown.

After the first game they won every game because they could shout instructions to each other in Spanish or sign in ASL and the other teams couldn't understand what they were saying...

private enterprise in space

Musk almost went broke when he started Space X, (2008 BBC article has the story if you aren't aware of it).... but now it is letting him own a trillion dollars of stock, so those unaware of the history of private enterprise in space are hyperventillating.

Behind the Black points out that the socialists salivating about how they could steal some of this money are missing the real story: it is about free enterprise, using money efficiently, giving many people jobs, and bringing things like starlink internet coverage to the world.

That last one is a game changer: does anyone remember how when the Ukraine was invaded, and the west dithered on whether to intervene because the experts figured the Ukraine would fall in a month, that one thing that helped them was Starlink communications>

and Starlink is providing communications for the Philippines after that terrible earthquake a few days ago. From PNA govt website:]

The deployment marks Globe's first use of Starlink’s satellite-to-mobile technology for disaster and emergency response in the Philippines. Over 700,000 Globe and TM customers stand to benefit from the deployment, receiving messaging via WhatsApp and SMS at a time when it is needed most. Globe will offer the service free of charge for up to 30 days as critical support to affected communities until Globe’s network is fully restored.

Not just coordinating help, but letting families communicate with each other Here in the Philippines, a lot of help is personal, families sending money or going down with supplies for their relatives. And when we had a bad typhoon, and had no electricity, city water, and had blocked roads, the first things our neighbors came for was to charge their cellphones because we had a generator, and fill their water jugs from our well.

In the typhoon, the cellphone towers were working, but with an earthquake a Starlink would enable communications in areas where the lines etc were damaged.
