Biden is Nurturing Growth of War Prospects Everywhere

 President Biden probably would follow British P.M. om making a settlement with Russia on Ukraine if the British leader was disposed toward ending the war directly. Unfortunately England is quite pro-war so old Joe basks in pro-war, anti-Soviet political fervor. There are other concerns militarily speaking to consider.

China is ramming ships in the Philippines in water it claims and the U.S. has said it will defend. Taiwan is another potential area for war to repel a Chinese invasion, while Russian nuclear subs have been within 200 miles of Miami recently.

If Hezbollah and Israel go to war the U.S. may need to send marines if Israel need defend against Hamas and Iran as well. The N.A.T.O. head wants to deploy more nuclear missiles in Europe- better to attack Russia with and create a better holocaust.

Russia has said it may provide weapons to countries that would like to attack the U.S.A.- perhaps various terror groups, communists and drug traffickers in South America and elsewhere, in response to the US giving weapons to Ukraine in order to attack inside old Russia.

The inventory of areas of potential war this year has more possible entries. The Pope has Biden's head touch his recently so the President believes he has God on his side. Overall the President has done a great job of developing the chances for war everywhere instead of peaceful development. I suppose there may be a need for a draft at some point in the next Biden term if he is re-elected in order to be able to train enough soldiers before the start of large scale deployment of U.S. forces around the world where Biden era wars require. Skills training for modern soldiers require several months if they are to be more than canon fodder.

It may seem as if the President should have adult supervision and be recalled from military escalation play time yet those are just people that don't appreciate the glory of war when there are better, rational, peaceful opportunities. Promoting goons, thugs, murderers, idiots and thieves in politics seems the President's way of doing things. The environment doesn't need to be fixed when war prospects abound.

Biden Defends Soviet Land Redistribution of Russia

 Ukraine was part of Russia before the Soviets took over. Keeping the Soviet political designations for Russia when convenient is the basis for Joe Biden's defense of Ukraine as "a sovereign nation". Russians were never going to accept that. They were just to militarily weak to fight to keep Ukraine in Russia after the end of the Cold War v 1.0. Some political renegotiation should have been opened to avoid war and just get the world moving along peacefully.

After the communists took control they restructure Russia in convenient administrative units.  Jews were given an oblast in Siberia. Ukraine was not an independent nation before the Soviet Union took over Russia. Ukraine was part of Russia. It is a fiction to view Ukraine as an independent nation that was taken over by the Soviets and should have had their freedom restored like nations of Eastern Europe taken from Nazi occupation by Soviet red army liberators. About 6 million ethnic Russians died fighting against fascist Germany in W.W. II.

Joe Biden is having a tough time with any sort of new things it seems.

Dimensions in Science Fiction and Nature

 Do you think it's wrong to use the word 'dimension' as in 'a different dimension' as if that were a different place?

The Universe we live in has three spatial dimensions and one of time. If one were to add another dimension or two this would be a more complex universe and humans could see just three of them perhaps.

All of the dimensions would exist in the same universe as the present. Some physicists working with string theory speculate there may be more dimensions that are too small to see- hidden from view like provable items or progress the last twenty years in string theory (joking).

Einstein's friend Paul Erhenfrest wrote that life could not exist in a universe with more than three spatial dimensions because (presumably) particles could not exist as they do making up matter in a three dimension universe (with another dimension of time). Actually the time dimension could just be another spatial dimension or even just three membrane dimensions in motion intersecting each other with time being the present junction of the three intersecting.

Keep in mind that particles are normally two-dimensional and massless. They seem to slow down entangled in the Higgs field and pick up the third dimension. Doesn't that seem to indicate that two or one dimensions are more common even than three, much less four or more spatial dimensions?

Vinyl Siding vs Repaints in S.E. Alaska Rainforest

The cost of maintaining an older home in the S.E. Alaska rain forest can be high. It is worse though to let water get to the wood. Plywood in a few years of water contact, unless it’s marine grade, can turn into something like soggy cardboard. Replacing rafters and studs costs even more. Let’s consider the options of using vinyl siding (or the costlier yet better choice of aluminum siding) against the cheaper painting. In either case the labor costs plus the recently inflated price of building materials make the selection meaningful and worth considering.

An average 4000 square foot exterior would require, nominally, about 10 gallons of self-priming, lifetime acrylic paint for coverage. With paint going for about $60 per gallon that would amount to $600. Vinyl siding to cover 4000 sq feet would run anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000 or more.

Labor cost is the great unknown cost for repaints. Work installing vinyl siding before the recent inflation era ran about $4.00 per square foot. So about $16,000 for the nominal 4000 sq foot home. Painters per job have a vast range of prices and skill levels. Labor for a 4000 sq foot home could run from $3,000 to $15,000. The condition of the home is a factor in estimates. Painting has far more more subjective aspects than installing siding. For siding installation techniques are standard; not so for repainting buildings where contractor work experience and quality matter.

Installing vinyl siding produces a reliable product. True it can be difficult to repair broke siding down the road such as cable installers may precipitate. Some siding becomes discontinued and it won’t be possible to match the product installed on the home in the future.

Solar siding already exists so home owners with a sunny location would probably be better off paying a little more to produce electricity for their home. Considering the life of siding products those that produce free home power for two or three decades vs vinyl siding that is worthless for producing power is an easy choice.  https://shop.mitrex.com/collections/solar-siding/products/solar-siding-350w-black-wood-tile-landscape-1

 Painters on the other hand can produce great, high quality work or complete painting flops...one need look at the contractor’s prior work and references to have a clue what one would be buying. painting a home is far less expensive that installing vinyl or aluminum siding. It is also possible to cover portions of a home with solar power collecting siding as one elects. Tesla solar roofing should cover an entire roof while solar siding could be installed just on a sunny wall.

https://www.tesla.com/solarroof

The main problem with painting in the rain forest is the rain. One should think of it as if one were repainting a wood boat with all of the seams sealed with 20+ year caulking. If the building has water in the wood and one paints over that future bubbles and blisters in the paint will occur. Getting the building to be completely dry-especially after pressure washing, requires days in some case. Getting several days of good weather much less two weeks can be challenging. Paint contractors aren’t being paid for waiting for ideal weather so they can go out of business with not enough work done in the very short painting season in spring and summer.

If the homeowner does it themselves and accomplishes neat, tight lines the result may be satisfactory. Union labor produces acceptable quality although some of the prep work may be skimpy and the longevity of the job may be less with minor blistering that is an eyesore. Neither will unions necessarily use paint additives like EB (Emulsa Bind) that provides cohesion to chalky surfaces such as arise with undercoats of old paint exposed by pressure washing. Still they are the best best.

Contemporary acrylic paint is commonly of lifetime duration. There is a lot of resin in the paint. That means the paint if properly applied will last 15 or 20 years. Painting is a far better value for the homeowner if the work is well done. One cannot stress enough to know the contractor and not accept a pressure wash, some scraping, masking windows and quick spray job measuring the amount of paint applied in millimeters. That sort of work is common for new construction yet for repainting older exteriors great care is required.

There are fewer good home exterior repainters willing to take pride in producing a long-lasting paint job than there are vinyl siding installers willing to put on monkey proof product. If a painter uses EB in primer and in the body color as well as lots of mildew killer and takes great care in prep and finish work the paint job is a far better value than siding. The prosperous homeowner with deep pockets may opt for the siding however as it is less of a gamble. Fifty thousand plus or five thousand dollars; that is the question.

Saudi Disdains Renewal of Petro-Dollar Privilege for the U.S.A.

 Perhaps heralding the beginning of the end of a stable U.S. dollar, Saudi Arabia cancelled a 50 year old agreement to sell oil just with U.S. dollars. people talked about that for a long time as an indicator of instability of the global value of the dollar. People could have more trust in Chinese currency or bitcoin.

I am not sure how dumping the dollar as the global de facto currency works. People want to sell their dollars I suppose and that deflates their value. In turn inflation would rise domestically. If people feel the dollar isn’t the best denomination to park their investment in and select others that may bring substantial changes.

The Biden administration’s war on Russia is the proximal cause for the lack of trust in the U.S. currency. Those on a fixed income won’t appreciate the lunacy of war and the cascade of planetary economic challenges flowing downhill .

Peace with Russia with a fair settlement of the Cold War land distribution fiasco was called for, rather than the path of ignorance. Ukrainian leader Zelinsky went to Saudi to ask for cash and weapons apparently and Saudi responded by eschewing the exclusivity of the U.S. dollar. The BRIC nations are rising and the old west (primarily the U.S.A. because Europe is neighbors with Russia and eventually will resume lose relations even if illicitly) is led by Joe Biden with the tunnel vision of war sometime in the 1980s.

How to React if the Political Economy Develops Worst Case Ecosphere

 Considering poor political management of the United States and the world concerning environmental conservation and synergistics it is reasonable to begin considering post-environmental apocalypse structures enabling the human race to survive to a certain degree. Perhaps I will add some structure from time to time; a note on anything new or novel for surviving during the transition to an ecospherically dead world and while keeping a human continuum. The capacity to have a spiritual life and faith in Jesus Christ will require liberty from tyranny of various possible kinds obviously.

One might of course create hollow mountains for humans to live inside that are sealed from the outside. One might regard the Earth as more like Mars with little or no remaining atmosphere unable to support human life.

Samples could be made of all life and permanently mapped genetically with the genomes stored on-line and in secure data vaults. Actual biological samples could be kept too. When humanity does get off world to populate habitats it creates on whatever scale, or terraform worlds, it may value maps of life quite highly.

Some years ago after visiting Phoenix I thought of buildings that were pyramids coated with solar panels with escalators powered by the sun outside. I wrote about that many years ago. It was then a thought to grow plants on the outside of buildings that were structured with less than vertical 90 degree walls in order to have zero net loss of biota where humans construct things. Simple structures like that could be made air-tight. As good as that concept is, it may be time to go past the paradigm of a survivable ecosphere and planet and to imagine the world in the condition of being as dead as every other planet in the solar system and foresee how humanity might still live on a dead world.

U.S. Not Politically Adjusting to the Future These Days

 The United States has always been surrounded by international influences seeking to reduce it to servitude, prey, tool-hood or simply erase it. During the revolutionary era Spain, France, Portugal and England vied for power in the Americas. France in its war with England found common cause with American patriots (the revolutionaries) and were instrumental in overcoming British military power. Not even the addition of German mercenaries or coinciding native warriors attacking the Carolinas was sufficient to defeat revolutionary military forces.

In the late 18th century aristocrats were the essential belligerents driving conflict forward against their own kind, with all seeking to suppress revolutionaries and native resistance to colonization. American patriots had to war against the loyalists to royalty. Some of those loyalists, such as New York Governor Henry Clinton, were military geniuses with common sense allocation of military resources. Clinton won the battle for the southern colonies and General Cornwallis bypassing Clinton lost them. England had numerous tools useful for undermining the integrity and war-fighting powers of the revolutionaries. That circumstantial power continued to exist into the modern era though subtle perfidy may be better suited now.

Perennial American interests such as border security, equal protection of the law for all citizens, free enterprise, national independence and a vibrant healthy ecosphere are undermined by foreign and domestic forces with no concern for any of the above. The United States is regarded as a kind of golden goose to have for dinner or at least to extract value from. Plainly negating the political power of ordinary citizens is vital to those seeking to concentrate wealth and power in foreign and elite domestic hands.

What is of interest is the number of means of control of mass political opinion that exist and those that are continuing to develop. Wealth is concentrating in the U.S.A. which is now made the U.S.A. a peer of Mexico in that regard. The media is largely owned by the rich and a sycophant of interests of the rich economically. Corporatocracy forces allegiance on its minions.

So the nation elected Bill Clinton in 1992 to replace the former C.I.A. Director and Phi Beta Kappa in economics George W. Bush. Clinton was a British groomed Oxford Rhodes Scholar lawyer and southern governor. As President he was loquacious and over-confident. With unknown advice he wrested the Ukraine from Russia during the break-up of the Soviet Union. He should have instead insisted that Russia keep Crimea and Eastern Ukraine, for war would inevitably follow when Russia grew strong enough to attempt recovery of its lost land.

When the European Community evolved into the E.U. and N.A.T.O. began expanding its membership allow the Soviet Union no longer existed to present a threat, Russia became concerned in time with the growing threat of the west. Select European elites probably wanted all of Eastern Europe to become part of the European Union. With an American ally and suggestible presidents unable to think independently for themselves or for the benefit of Americans Europe was bold in militarizing Ukraine and increasing E.U. size while reducing military budgets letting the United States foot the bill for defense.

Globalization through telecommunications upgrades and the internet allowed a brief period of actual free expression for the masses. Then the rich began buying up internet control and corporations began filtering out and censoring free speech. Media were largely sycophants of the control by the rich, and had the reliable premise that anyone in opposition to concentrating wealth was necessarily communist. The ghost of the Soviet Union and specter of latent Chinese Communism seeking to devour was the basic argument in support of control of the world by wealthy elites.

Artificial had not yet been invented or applied broadly as at present. A.I. can filter and censor the entire Internet, and A.I services for editing may be exclusively structured to censor or refuse to process material with use of political incorrect terms. ChatGPT will not process writing with politically incorrect terminology. Because the little work available for free at Open permits just politically correct speech, and since there is a 24 dollar a month charge for unlimited use of its writing capacity, the poor of the world will have quite reduced opportunities to express political dissent in the brave new world of A.I. Yet like buried search engine listings new age censorship will be subtle and indirect with plausible deniability rather than blatant, and glaring methods of the past.

Those willing to submit to the criteria of Artificial Intelligence programmers able to afford the monthly fee for unlimited use will be able to generate unlimited quantities of politically inoffensive verbiage to post on the Internet. A.I. can simply out-write humans, and marginalize the value of liberal arts and humanities education so far as writing goes. There may be an era of A.I. spam ahead with hundreds of millions of users posting A.I. products on social media as if it were their own. Initially the material will be advantaged left because fewer conservatives have been programmers creating A.I. Therefore conservative A.I. products will be slower to appear at the few conservative social media sites that exist such as Truth Social. Conservative leaning A.I. will also have implicit bias against free speech and select political philosophical approaches because original thought isn’t mass produced. Yet they will at least have a different banned language list than A.. programmed from the left and hegemonist corporatococrats.

Billions of poor people on Earth including the U.S.A. won’t be able to afford Starlink or pay ChatGPT and its writing A.I. triumvirate for unlimited access to put out inhumanly written screeds with their name on it as author. They will fall farther behind the rich and their minions. There will be no advances in political philosophy or opinions concerning the dangers concentrated wealth and power present to democracy and the benefits of egalitarianism in economics such that democracy can thrive rather than choices from the de facto one-party state. The nearly illiterate human with A.I. skills able to give verbal prompts to A.I. can produce material quantities of the same ideas at grade levels suitable for any reader from elementary to college graduate. Capital increase faster than wages. Apple Corp and queer leadership can buy up A.I. and set its lexical values. Perhaps Mt. Suribachi will be proscribed as hate speech; who can say?

One wonders about the impact of A.I. writing on European politics. In the U.S.A. the Democrat party support war in Ukraine to consolidate N.A.T.O. post-Soviet expansion. Will the rise of the right in Europe bring more support for war on Russia or less? Maybe the left and right will be unified on war with Russia with the main difference being that the right oppose mass illegal migration to Europe. Alternatively the right may be opposed to war in preference for peace and good Russian relations, content to leave war to national socialist party’s of Europe such as preceded the Second World War.

Bill Clinton helped the quality of U.S. Presidential leadership with importunate personal conduct while in office, burning alive American civilians at Waco, snipe shooting citizens at Ruby Ridge and so forth. Imperial British education may confer a degree of arrogance on a leader. That was good for the International community trying to gain leverage over the United States to make it serve foreign rather than American interests. Foreign entities like the U.N. prefer sympathetic, compliant tools in the White House with a certain disregard for equal protection of laws.

It isn’t known what hidden leverage Ukraine has over President Biden to bring him to render full financial service to the unjust foreign war on Russia. Russia is trying to recover Ukraine when no other way is possible. Biden’s determination to alienate Russia for good, divide the world economically, risk nuclear war through endless escalation and increase European and N.A.T.O. power is not beneficial to Americans. Peace with Russia ceding Eastern Ukraine and Crimea with full restoration of normal economic relations is best for global stability. It is as if intelligent thought of Democrat Presidents has been governed by an alien species in recent years such that Demo-Prezes are incapable of rational thought about the urgency to restore peace and good relations while that is possible. It is as if the Ceth HQ is underground below the U.N. (from the game CRISIS).

The West vs Stalin before W.W.2

 An interesting historical point occurred to me recently. It concerns the practical reasons why Stalin signed off with a treaty with Hitler before the start of the Second World War. Of course the treaty didn’t last very long as Germany invaded Russia in 1941 in Operation Barbarossa costing three quarters of a million Russian soldiers their lives to repel. Americans often use the treaty made by Stalin as an excuse or justification for putting Russia down morally in the modern world.

So I considered the circumstances of the treaty. Some of the west denied diplomatic recognition of the Soviet government of Russia and the United States had even sent 2000 marines to fight in Russia for the White Armies versus the Red Army in the Russian civil war. In short the west was antipathetic to the existence of the Russian government so when Germany offered a treaty Stalin was perhaps quick to take it; it was better to have one neutral party to the west rather than face a unified block of opposition to communism in Russia.

Pragmatism was thus the primary motive of Stalin in seeking to find peace to the west. Joseph Stalin was of course a ruthless dictator; one of the foremost of world history, yet he was also a realist. Maybe the treaty bought him some time before the Nazis would decide to invade. Plainly Stalin had no prospect or possibility of a rapprochement with the west before the Nazi invasion, when thereafter England and the United States sought Stalin as an ally in order to combat the Nazi expansion east and west. So in the final analysis I won’t hold the treaty as a negative point against Russia. Stalin made peace with the only neighbor nation that it could amid a solid neighborhood of haters to the west. Germany had yet to demonstrate the kind of people the Nazis were to the world, and that is a point to remember. Generally Americans blame Stalin for signing off with Hitler before the war as if he knew what the Nazis would be like in the future, and obviously that is absurd.

Should a nation not try to be at peace with its neighbor nations generally? Stalin was wrong with his choice to invade Finland morally speaking, yet that I a different issue and one concerning the problems of communism and dictators rather than Russians as a people. Russians did not elect a communist government to replace the Kerensky government and legislature (the Duma). Instead a revolution by cadres of well organized communists accomplished a takeover and never looked back through most of the 20th century.

The Perfidy of Elective Wars in the Anthropocene Era

 Escalating war on our W.W.2 ally is terrible- inexcusable really.  Strategically it is completely daft. Russia lost 3/4 million soldiers to stop the Nazi invasion in 1941, and then it needed 2.6 million soldiers to remove the Nazis from Ukraine in 1943.

Ethnic Russians have paid heavily for defending their ancient homeland. Russia's September 1943 900 mile front enabled the American landings a month later in Sicily. About 6 million ethnic Russians perished in the Second World War retaking Ukraine and other areas that were part of Russia before the Soviet takeover. 

Germany had a million casualties on the Eastern front with operation Barbarossa. Russia and friends took away a lot of Nazis that otherwise would have met the U.S.A. at Normandy too. The U.S.A. lost 4,500 soldiers at Normandy on D-Day. Biden trusts Europe more than Russia for all the wrong reasons. Students of Biden's generation just learned western civilization in school- nothing about Russia  really-except cold war stuff. So the early learning was retarded. Joe Biden is the anti-Reagan.

People forget history and lack pragmatism in politics. The Clinton-Yeltsin swindle stealing Ukraine from Russia set the stage for war when Russia became strong enough to fight to get it back. Without a negotiated peace with Russia keeping what is has presently their isn't hope for anything beside escalating risk to the entire human race. The United States should really think about staying out of European lunacy instead of joining it. The U.S.A. should lead towards a free world with stable borders and people moving toward ecological economics.

  Joe Biden simply wants to be re-elected and maybe get a little glory. He is like one of the belligerent Diadochi in the Third Diadochi War that wants a piece of Antigonus's action circa 315-312 B.C  The national scheming is something U.S. rube Presidents are better off staying out of. Euros shouldn't be encouraged in such perfidies in the Anthropocene era.

Nuclear War or Border Security (a poem)

 

Seeking the impossible dream
of nuclear war before next spring
Joe Biden plants the flag of Mt. Suribachi
in Kiev to fly for modern Nazis

Russia paid with 3/4 million soldiers to beat Barbarossa
and Biden has reinforced Ukraine with La Cosa Nostra
his ego flies on automatic
re-election seeker forever
plagiarizing with heat-seekers

Trump would have a peaceful world
free trade globally until the whole free world
in recondite morrows knows its time to change
economic style to war on global warming pains.

Remembering D-Day and the Cost to Russia

D-Day in 1944 cost 4500 allied soldier’s lives. Russia, or the Soviet Union had spent 775,000 of its soldier’s lives repelling the German Nazi invasion in 1941 during Operation Barbarossa. Russians- Soviets, continued to advance west to roll up the Nazi Army thereafter. In August 1943 Russia had sent 2.6 million soldiers to the fray and had retaken the Ukraine from the Nazi horde. Without the diversion of German Nazi soldiers to fight Russia- just in operation Barbarossa Germany had a million casualties, life would have been more difficult for the allies attacking from the west and south. 

In September 1943 the allies invaded Italy. Russia's 900 mile front against the Nazis continued pushing through Ukraine and into other Nazi occupied nations of Eastern Europe. Eventually- in June 1944. The allies landed at Normandy on D-Day.

Nuclear Clockwork Orange at Midnight and the Global Heating Thing Too (poem)

 

A yellow bird with a yellow bill
was sitting on the window sill
lured in with crumbs of unleaded
global warmin smashed its bladdy head

Thermostats will just control
alien responsibility for the grassy noll
convictions of greenhouse gas may harm
don’t really strike the right alarm

Turn up the air
in summer it's true
someone will fix it
the rich can do

Nuclear war is a comparative bore
it don’t exist now so viewers aren’t tore
Netflix matters and asphalt too
when it's really bad use super-glue

Believe in iron, believe in steel
trust the benthos to carbon dinos seal
if voters are dumb wet diaper bills pass
not practical to care about common gas

Bear and wolves, tigers and flings
oil slicks over collateral damaged things
wild lives wild gettin more rare
city folks joke and sponsor mechanical tares

To be or not to be a minion alum
climb up the ladder and keep opinions mum
look just one step ahead to the fog of war
cloak the future in complacent cores.

King Canute said yada yada yada this morn
before rolling back the tide of rising sea levels scorned
revisions, reforms of mass economic ways
perhaps nothing will silence environmental end of days.

Biden 1 - Reason 0 D-Day Commemoration

 On the 80th anniversary of D-Day Joe Biden has brought his war against Russia via Ukraine into the conversation of commemoration. Yet President Biden illustrates what Winston Churchill would have been like if he had been born with his head up his ass.

  It may be that in the PRIDE month of June Gays, Queers, Lesbians and transneutered for nuclear war have pride in the President's policy. Even the larger Biden constituency of Democrats for Nuclear War might be offended by the opinion that the President has his head up his ass so far that he can't tell night from day on evaluating history and good points for peace instead of war. That will need to be worked out at the polls in November.

The world nuclear clock has reached midnight, and nuclear war could occur any day. If it doesn't happen before November and someone else elected there is a little hope of the world going on a while.

With Russia made by Mr. Biden as the public enemy from his point of view Russian leadership has mentioned reciprocating the providing weapons to anyone that wants to attack western targets including the U.S.A. (since Biden gave permission for Ukraine to American weapons to attack Russia. Pres Biden seems insane in preferring war to peace through a settlement with Russia yet Democrats are to blame for voting him in to office. That was a dangerous and possibly fatal mistake.

Russia was America's most important W.W. 2 ally. Without Russia absorbing more than 20 million casualties yet fighting on through axis occupied nations on the eastern front the allies on the west wouldn't have gone too far. Presidents Biden and Clinton have seized historically Russian land and annexed it to the west after the end of the Cold War; Democrats are now the Nazi occupiers and attackers of in quite a role reversal from 80 years ago.

Tools of Platonic Worlds (poem)

 

Universal tools of seven dimensions
reduce time to rubble with static conventions
fields with particles  wrapped with coruscation itself
are timelines grown and galaxies shared
days in construction,  moments aware

Plato's thoughts of a realm of forms
packed grand iterations for evolving world norms
received scripture after God breathed the first
words instructing time
to place the next verse

What is set circling compounds itself
recasting shadows from nowhere  juxtaposed
quarks atoms and molecules
right on the nose, where enters the day
while eternity flows.

Ukraine's Draft Dodgers May be Bumped Out by Biden Amnesty Reduction Act

 The President's executive order to limit amnesty seeker numbers that he made law in order to appeal to the Hispanic voting block

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/it-insulting-biden-border-order-takes-heat-democrats-republicans

may adversely impact male Ukrainians seeking to flee press gangs sent to add dragoons in Ukraine. Un-elected President Zelinsky's ukase to round up all males of draft age and send them to the front line to await death, with little or no military training, has sent many that prefer life to flee the country and risk concertina wire, armed patrols and mine fields placed to prevent draft resistors from exiting Ukraine. Will the numbers of asylum seekers capped daily by Hispanics illegally crossing the U.S. border block Ukrainians really seeking to stay alive from receiving sanctuary in the United States?

Would President Biden offer sanctuary to Ukraine's draft dodgers as Canada did for Americans during the Vietnam conflict? The alternative is to force them to risk a high probability of death by FPV (First Person View) drones flying about with plastic explosives looking for people or combat vehicles to detonate, so infantrymen on both sides of the conflict can win not only combat infantry badges, but the Combat Joystick medals as well.

In time the FPV technology upgrades will reach the United States and Mexican borders for drug smuggling and terrorism as well. Already drones can fly as scouts for those bringing illegal aliens over the border and locate Homeland security vehicle and personnel positions.

Zelinsky Mines Borders to Stop Citizens Fleeing the Draft

 The Ukraine government has reportedly begun using land mines on its south western borders with Hungary, Romania and Slovakia in order to stop Ukrainians from leaving the country and forced service in its war with Russia. Zelinsky's term as President has expired so he is more or less an unelected comedian-politician forcing fellow citizens to be sent to the front lines. Therefore Ukrainians try to escape to non-extraditable countries where press gangs won't sweep them off the street or from jobs and homes in Ukraine to put on a helmet and get in a trench to wait for FPV drones to blow them up.

Learning from Biden Democrats, Zelinsky has discovered that power provides its own convenient lubrication for having things his way.

Herman Hesse (the author of Steppenwolf) wrote poetry about the brevity of life and its aging process. Certainly as one reaches old age the era of good youthful health and vitality becomes a faded memory leading one to wonder if that time was illusory, as might all of life be; that is the nature of temporality. Those citizens of Ukraine dragooned from peace and thrown into war and death may not have the opportunity to consider the phenomena of aging and the nature of the temporal experience; yet they should.

President Biden Seeks Intervention to Save Hamas from Defeat

 Hamas is on the brink of defeat in Gaza.Israel has discovered its industrial scale tunnels to Egypt and is securing the last Hamas stronghold in Rafa. President Biden wants a cease fire to allow Hamas to continue to exist as a kind of sourdough starter of terrorism against Israel in the future. It is as if he wanted Al Qaeda to have a secure place in New York to begin operations against D.C.

https://apnews.com/article/us-un-israel-palestinians-gaza-resolution-ceasefire-b8e383b804b72c7a59d9af4a341d9ddc

The rational end of the war with Israel eliminating Hamas requires that they control the borders of Hamas and vet a civilian Palestinian government dedicated to peace and not importation of rockets to use against Israel (as well as suicide bombers). War is a sad thing yet so is rescuing defeat from the jaws of victory. The removal of Hamas is necessary for the establishment of a secure, peaceful Palestinian entity on the road ahead. Meanwhile delivering food to hungry Palestinians should be encouraged with more effort from the international sponsors of relief.

Wars are terrible events and should be discouraged by politicians. Yet one cannot be on bloth sides of every conflict. To halt the war before Hamas is deleted from the Gaza is to allow a restoration of a terrorist government rearming its arsenals ASAP to launch another war on the Jewish state. One might believe that just giving Hamas another chance to attack is the policy of European closet neo-Nazis and fellow travelling radical Muslims.

Lakers Should Draft a Big with Pick Seventeen

 The Lakers haven't had a reliable big center since Dwight Howard left. Anthony Davis is a power forward- maybe the best in the game, yet he is forced to play center far too often. That reduces his ability to take outside shots and rebound too, and rebounding is as important as scoring. Team shooting averages are usually less than 50%, so second shots with a rebound can make the effect shooting average 75% if half of the second shots go in. They need someone with a good attitude, athleticism, speed and endurance.

If the Lakers draft a solid young center with strong shooting and rebounding skill he can liberate Davis to play his preferred position all the time. There are ten large centers in the 2024 college draft and not every team will pick a center who is drafting before the Lakers. There should be one available, and he could restore the balance the Lakers had during their last championship year. It is apparently possible that recently retired Rajon Rondo may be the new Lakers coach.

With two bigs in the game (Davis and the new center), and Lebron James, a forward and another guard the Lakers stay with anyone. They also have reliever Jackson Hayes, Jarred Vanderbilt, Taurean Prince, Cam Reddish, Max Christie and Austin Reeves. That team is good enough.

Leaving Russia Out of Peace Conference is Biden's Biggest Blunder

 Not inviting Russia to a peace conference concerning the Ukraine conflict is consistent with the Democrat Party’s one-party approach to politics in the U.S.A. Combat lawyers lead the party and exploit every possible lever within and without their party’s power to force matters their own way. Meanwhile they don’t cut taxes n the rich and the Biden administration has conveniently lost any mention of a comprehensive plan to end global warming that several presidential candidates advanced in the 2020 primary contests. Joe Biden low-bid that season with a three trillion dollar plan eventually reduced to 1.5 trillion and much of that went to buy diapers for democrats or some similar program.

The Biden administration has done everything it possibly could to progressively move the nation forward to a nuclear third world war and eliminating half of the nations of the world from the U.S.A.’s friendly economic relations camp. When the Biden administration green lighted Ukraine to use U.S. weapons to attack Russia, possibly with N.A.T.O. officers orchestrating attacks, the nuclear war prospects improved. Russia responded by seeking help from central Asians militarily and even approached the Taliban for permission to let Russian allies use a trans-national road. So it is possible that Chinese P.L.A. veterans and Muslim fighters possibly including Taliban, Khazahks, Tadzhiks and others will be fighting in Ukraine in the effort to retain territorial integrity for Russia over it’s historic lands.

One might wonder why central Asian nations and China would reinforce Russia with arms and personnel. The west is perceived as a colonizing power historically, and a somewhat old one at that. While the U.S.A. claims to be the heart of fair democratic government much of the more youthful nations of Asia experience capitalism as exploitative and reflect on America’s history of the past 50 years of investing in wars against poor nations. Russia is regarded as one of the two most strong nations of the non-capitalist world even though it was of course well on the road to capitalism before the Ukraine war sponsored by the west. If Russia were to lose the war then all of Asia would become more vulnerable to the western push eastward. France and the United States lost direct control of Indochina, and the United States and UN allies were just able to contain North Korean communists. The United States waged war in Afghanistan for two decades as well as venturing into middle eastern conflicts. Some of the Asian and BRIC nations have been stimulated by the war into relying on their own economic resources rather than those of elites of western capitalism that support the Ukraine war.

The Biden administration evidently has a very obsolete view of world economics and complete ignorance or amnesia about Russian historical ownership of the Crimea and much of Ukraine. In seeking to expand Ukraine into former historically Russian lands at the end of the cold war I the early 1990s and feeling far more militarily and economically powerful the Democrat Party set the stage for war rather than peace. The only way for the United States and the west to restore peace and economic ties as they were before the Ukraine conflict is to negotiate with Russia and cede the presently held lands in Russian military control permanently. Then the sanctions against Russia should be ended. Russia would need to accept the new borders and promise not to attack Ukraine further in the future. The U.S.A. and especially Europe as well as Russia need swiftly begin deescalating militarily.

The Biden administrations total obsolescence in global political strategizing is quite damaging the United States. It will lose market advantages to the newly emerging BRIC-plus economic bloc. That BRIC economic block is adding new bricks to what could be a rival and more populous economic group dwarfing demographically even the G-20 when one subtracts China from memberships and moves it to the heart f the new economic block. In order to have the pride of power and diminish Russia globally Democrat Presidents since Bill Clinton have converted Russia from a nation looking with admiration to the U.S. economic and political system seeking to establish free enterprise to one regarded as an enemy compelled to fight to recover some of its lost historical land and reorient its economic foundation to one more compatible with Chinese hybrid socialism-capitalism. If the lunacy of the Biden approach continues the world will be lucky to avoid a third world war or complete division into an Orwellian Oceana vs US perennial conflict. Even now China has used the Ukraine conflict as an opportunity to try to conquer Taiwan; and that circumstance would never have occurred if Democrat combat lawyers hadn’t removed Russia from merging into the western camp.


Wealthy global capitalists of Western Europe and the United States may not mind fomenting and financing entirely avoidable wars and refusing to take negotiated action to conclude them swiftly. They may create peace conferences to drum up miltary and economic war to benefit their entry in a conflict like Ukraine and ignore not only history yet clear and present peace prospects too. China may end up adding a tax on Wal-mart products created in China to help finance the Ukraine war for their Russian allies. Western capitalists invested so much in China and are looking to India now (and India has adjusted its Russian trade from 4% before the war to 46% ) that the cessation of trade from China might create skyrocketing inflation for the poor in the United States and the elderly living on fixed incomes, perhaps increasing prices 50% or more. Of course that doesn’t matter much to the rich paying low taxes in the U.S.A. who would find the cost of groceries trivial and could live at their other mansions in other nations anyway.


Cosmology and Word Processing

 Words including the meaning and function of words differ from that of arithmetic in interesting respects. If one wants to add or subtract characters from a story the author need merely describe the new character to explain to the reader why a character disappeared. For a phrase in arithmetic one just needs to + add or -subtract a quantity. That is a kind of direct description itself.

Te find and replace function in word processors is more like arithmetic. One may universally (when the story file is the Universe) add or subtract an exact phrase or name from the story. The author writes into the find box a name like ‘Big-news’ and for example, one hundred uses show up. Then the author types in the replace box a word or phrase like ‘Newer news’ and the one hundred uses of Big-news are immediately replaced with the phrase ‘Newer news’. There is a protocol or hierarchy of different levels of meaning and coded instruction in computers and word processors, and in arithmetic as well as with ordinary language. Words written at the ordinary language level of say, common English have implicit values, and writing instructions with them in MS or Libre Office Word to ‘multiply 10 times ten’ won’t do anything at all. That is no mathematical operation will follow. For that the author would need to be in a calculator program.


I mention this because the idea or paradigm of hierarchical levels is of pervasive interest and application in several fields including cosmology. Cosmology like word processing software has observable, high-level or ordinary level content as well as other levels of content with more fundamental values. Perhaps subatomic particles are comparable to machine and assembler languages in computer codes that are more fundamental that higher level programming languages that support ordinary human language processing (English, Spanish, Tlingit, Chinese, Russian etc). Of most interest is the quantum entanglement phenomena that allows faster than light, simultaneous information sharing between separate entangled particles. That is comparable to the find and replace entanglement that can view the entire document vary quickly, not by reading through it in ordinary English as would a human reader living in the human level of experiencing the Universe and computer’s word processor, but by giving the word phrase a numerical values and search for that unique structure below the ordinary language level. The entire document containing the story may be given numerical values to represent numbers and those numbers structured with 0s an 1s of binary code.


In cosmology the below the surface way that quantum information exists presently isn’t fully understood. Why quantum information may be entangled and share information as if there were no distance between an entangled particle pair, when there is a substantial distance such that faster than light conveyance of information would seem to be required for simultaneous change in the bound quanta, can just be speculated about. The answers may fundamental alter human understanding of how the Universe, Multiverse or Meta-verse is structured.


The apparent Universe of massless two-dimensional quanta entangeled within the Higgs Field and given the appearance of a third dimension, gravity and other fundamental forces acting upon the apparent three-dimensional mass may be compared with an internet web page written with plain english. Consider the web page as a Universe with laws that regulate the speed that light can travel on it. Yet sharing the ordinary language of the web page are button-links connected to dimensions besides those of the web page, and with different physical laws. Maybe mass is like the hyperlinks, as well as entangled particles such that they exist on the observable universe of the web page yet have below the surface, extra-dimensional functions that transcend the physical laws of the web page as-itself.


One tends to consider a dimensional hierarchy as an explanation, with more dimensions than the three of space of one of time that the apparent world is made of. Yet even the singularity at the big bang and hyper-inflation in the first second of the expansion of the Universe are brought into question when one introduces extra dimensions into the conjecture. If the singularity of everything that makes up a Universe in compact form also contains an infinite number of potential dimensions it is possible that the Universe humans presently live in used just three of those dimensions in the expansion and the singularity remains where it was, as it was, from the beginning, before the beginning actually.


Einstein’s equations for general relativity and astrophysical observations suggest that there was an expansion from a singularity and yet the equations and observations perish before presenting complete accounts and terminate into at best, infinities near the beginning. One should expect that obviously, for the singularity would be every possible infinity in-itself, and yet be perfectly balanced and without energy, for energy is a relationship between monism and pluralism arising from infinity. It goes without saying that in true infinity the emanation or subtraction of a finite quantity of pluralism that becomes energy would be a non sequitur or have a negligible effect on the truly infinite singularity- especially as the pluralism and the force fields within it seek to return the the monistic condition of the true singularity.

The emanation of four dimensions of pluralism is comparable to holographic emanations somewhere on or within the infinite phenomenon of the singularity, or a hyper-dimensional black hole star’s event horizon as has been written about by theoretical physicists is itself a temporal phenomenon within the eternal. While the singularity in balance is phenomenal and without force paradoxically, while in balance; pluralist Universes arising from it maintain ties to the hyper-dimensional host. The dimensions, distances, energy and forms of the emanated Universe are transparent in relation to the monism of the singularity, and while in the pluralistic state of being a Universe, the Universe remains part of the One that is the singularity. It is therefor not surprising that phenomena like gravity, quantum entanglement and a Higgs Field, Dark energy and dark matter phenomena persist and are challenging to explain.

Dreams and Artificial Intelligence

 People were concerned with rapid advances of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and the risks and dangers it posed to humanity. A.I. was an existential threat (if only one could unravel the meaning of existential in context) that could bring about the end of human existence on Earth and throughout the Metaverse (the largest collection of Multiverses).

One might be impressed with the ability of robots to fight against humans. With a good programs inserted robots learned as fast as humans learned when data was inserted from neural chemical chips into their brains- instantly. Plainly robots with killer programming inserted were excellent killers. The 21st century Ukraine war stimulated development of robots able to replace human combatants when humans finished killing off themselves in such great numbers that human replacements for the front lines of conflict weren’t available.


The profusion of A.I. applications available on-line was remarkable. While artificial intelligence is machine code and didn’t develop a human-like self-awareness of existence because it lacked a biological foundation to host spirit, it is the case that with adequate sensor input and programming it functioned creatively about as well or better than Albert Einstein, Kurt Godel, Pablo Picasso as a triplicate mind put into a sculptured athletic body. It wasn’t actually so human-like since it did not dream.


A.I. sometimes hallucinates; that is it produces code or output from code and mechanical cogitation/computations that is fiction. So hallucination free A.I. was something sought after. Dreams are comparable to hallucinations yet they differ because of the different function and circumstance where they occur.


The external world that humans exist in and experience is sometimes referred to as the empirical world. What humans experience subjectively of the empirical world is regarded as existential. It is like a play that one watches passing before one’s eyes yet simultaneously lives within. Philosophers wondered and argued about what the reality is of what one experiences.


The external world-universe humans live within is made of quantum waves. It is in a real sense a single quantum field. Though the field does have actual subdivisions of forces, and occurs in forms of clumps or differentiated quantum quantification. For instance the moon has more quantum clumpiness than the space between it and Earth.


Humans tend to make distinctions and borders about objects themselves. At least they name the important objects to themselves that are meaningful. Objects important to humans in their evolutionary history phase differ from things meaningful to A.I. in it’s existence when it may be even be said to have such concerns. For instance an A.I. might be made to note the thermal characteristics of field regions as objects, perhaps combined with gravitational characteristics, as the primary things to observe existentially within a field.


Humans might originally have been more concerned with perceptible elements that affected their existence. That is they were more concerned with finding food and avoiding dangers to existence and prioritized the naming of phenomena in such categories.


A.I. existed without sharing those human characteristics or language groupings implicitly. When it did share such perceptive, cognitive characteristics as humans that led them to naming things as objects, A.I. requiring programming to do so.

Even so A.I. didn’t dream. Human dreaming has been described as the way the brain starts waking up from sleep. Perhaps it resumes important functions and concerns from experience in various combinations. If computers did not restart in a linear or logical way and instead resumed with something like hallucinatory recombination of thoughts synthetically combining in different orders and locations of a central processing unit that would be more like dreaming. When fully awake human mind dreaming switches off (though in rare cases it transitions into hallucinating upon awaking).


It is possible that human dreaming is also a way of remembering existential experience is a less structured way. While human beings need to be concerned with survival issues and dangers that arrive quickly (even through the air) and have an advantage in recognizing objects in categories to be concerned with or focused on, that development is a consequence of history and environment. The human mind itself may enjoy benefiting from the liberation of free thought less concerned with circumstantial boundaries caused by interaction with the empirical world. In order not to be biological programmed and evolved into being non-adaptable and hard-wired to perceive in just one unchanging way, the human mind may dream before downloading into the conformity of the conscious, empirical world without the restrictions imposed by reality.


Questions arose of what human-like A.I. would do with the programmer-designed capacity to dream and synthetically recombine its thought before awakening to more rigorously logical ways of iterating and solving internal and external challenges.


How to Settle the Milky Way Galaxy

 There are so many science fiction scenarios with faster-than-light travel for exploring and settling the Milky Way and other galaxies that one can lose track of realistic paradigms for explorations. The speed of light is the speed limit for anything with mass; nothing can travel faster or even more practically, nothing can travel anywhere near that fast because of relativistic limits. The opposite scenario most take is that humanity won’t ever travel more than 5 or 10 light years from Earth because of the time even that would take. There is a more realistic middle way though.

Humanity might well reach half of the speed of light with one of several forms of powering gradual acceleration of a space ship. Human travel to other star systems need not occur even within a human lifetime. At half of the speed of light reaching the other side of the galaxy yet not going through the dangerous congested galactic core region might require a quarter of a million years. That is about the same period of time that has passed since human beings became fully human. Future human population of the galaxy begins with a single step as the saying goes. With patience and frontier settlements they might take even two or three million years to venture out even to distant galactic arms traveling just at half the speed of light.


A small step for man and a giant leap for mankind began the thousand mile journey; or more accurately the 52,000 light year journey across the diameter of the Milky Way. Humanity may reach nearby Proxima Centauri and learn to hibernate for longer voyages of up to a 100 light years or more and create settlements. In modest increments traveling at half of the speed of light humanity might evolve pioneering settlements that would fill the galaxy with populated worlds in a million years or two. The species not be so pessimistic or fatalistic about its prospects even though it hasn’t even the capacity to settle conflicts with other means than war at the highest level of political leadership (in the United States at least). The Ukraine war could be concluded by sharing that borderland area between the rival claimants and ensuing peace would prosper each.


There are of course numerous potential challenges to exploring and settling the Milky Way even as there were in the evolutions of the human race out of Africa and to the western hemisphere of Earth. Alien species making their own journey may contact and clash with humanity at some point of the journey. Religious cults of war-like disposition may appear to war upon humanity in order to bring the race under political totality. Artificial Intelligence projects may arise to search and destroy sentient biological life. Loss of faith in God could generate a terrible species malaise and despair in a chasm of existential meaninglessness. Scientific discoveries could accidentally bring about the end of a galaxy or universe in one quantum exploding or disintegrating event. Maladaptive political economy on Earth may render the world ecosphere uninhabitable before exploration gets beyond the solar system. Racial conflicts may divide demographics on Earth and stimulate war even though the comparatively minor racial yet valuable difference between human races will pale to insignificance in comparison to unimaginable variegated human adaptations in forms in micro-gravity, in artificial habitats and on new worlds with different stellar distances, gravity strengths, atmospheric mixtures and so forth. The different human racial adaptations to environmental challenges are more of a strength than a weakness as the human race advances through billions of star systems. Yet with many risks and challenges humanity will trudge on.

After the fact is realized of creating faster-than-light travel, if ever that occurs, at that point, and only then would it be practical to plan explorations missions on a grander scale. The likeliest means would be to discover how quantum entanglement and information super-positioning works. Perhaps the entire universe of mass occurs in four dimensions (including time) that ‘floats’ on a fathomless hyper-dimensional sea where distance does not exist at the same scale as it does in the four dimension universe and humans may learns to use its no-distance dimension as a shortcut amid galaxies of the universe. That age of faster than light travel may be very far away. It may take as much time for humanity to settle the galaxy at half light speed as it did for the first humans to migrate from Africa to America. Perseverance and steady philosophical reason are required for the voyage of progress.

Will Donald Trump Win the 20 Million Convicted Felons of the USA Vote in November 2024?

 When Donald Trump, former President of the United States and the presumed Republican nominee for President in the 2024 presidential race was convicted of thirty four felony counts that was a small step toward a one-party state and a giant advance to banana republic politics. Democracy seems to have died yesterday in New York City, or at least to confirm the corrupted, fallen state of U.S. political leadership. At the national political level such legal victories can be Pyrrhic victories.

On the face of it one would think that Trump will become a two-time loser running for President due to the loss of support from older Americans voting for Trump because they want a law and order candidate wiling to reinforce their personal security. A convicted felon usually isn’t considered to be in that category.

Yet voting restoration of those convicted of felony crimes is a just movement that helps prevent a class segregated social, economic and political order from continuing, and Donald Trump-felon convict at large who may be rehabilitated with felon conversion therapy to become a productive, law-abiding citizen, just could be the symbol of rehabilitation able to draw in millions of convicted felon voters to the Republican Party- and the United States has tens of millions of former convicted felons within it (more than 20 million I recall).

So as counterintuitive as it may appear, the conviction of Donald Trump could be like the watershed political moment when Richard Nixon realized that he could capture the evangelical vote to provide a winning edge in the 1968 Presidential race (in addition to Democrat students subject to the draft were tired of the Democrat Party led Vietnam War). In fact there may be as many convicted felon potential voters in America as there are evangelical voters- a forgiving group- that may be drawn to vote for the next Felon-in-Chief.

Donald Trump might be able to catalyze and energize a new block of voters-convicted felons and lead national prison reform. Mass incarceration and prison reform haven’t drawn serious enough attention from the well-to-do in government. The Angola Prison is a kind of American Mamartine, and prisons turn out to be training facilities for repeat offenders as one would think they logically should be. Maybe Mr. Trump will learn how to hot-wire cars, crack safes and write computer viruses when not pumping iron up the river.

Donald Trump is the Richard Nixon punching bag that Democrats never had the chance to beat up enough to be satisfied. The Donald is also a peace candidate paradoxically who would end the Ukraine War and therefore unpopular with the Hollywood-military-industrial complex that manufacturers weapons and global warming gasses for breakfast.

Former President Trump is a free enterprise Eugene McCarthy politician for peace convicted of having a convicted perjuring lawyer pay for suppression of unpopular news stories during the 2016 Presidential race and falsely claim the payments were campaign expenses (though they actually were). If Mr. Trump was not in a Presidential election campaign it isn’t likely that he would have paid to suppress the allegations that he had engaged in sex with a porn star. Maybe the Democrat Governor of New York Kathy Sokel will pardon the Republican Presidential candidate and let the nation swiftly step out of the trap it seem to be determined to put its feet into though its unlikely, since Democrats hate Donald Trump for defeating Hillary Clinton in 2016

The Democrat Party have moved the nation further toward its goal of being a one-party political system where wealth is concentrated and political incompetents being political nominees are the rule rater than the exception. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was easily and obviously the best available choice for Republicans who should yet choose him to be their nominee at the Republican convention, yet are more likely to stay with Donald Trump even though he may receive a sentence of 34 minutes or even 34 months in Sing Sing where he can conduct his campaign from and serve as President from if he gets the harsh sentence of 34 months confirming unequal treatment of the law for rich and poor in the U.S.A.

Republicans needed to run a lawyer for President able to battle and win in legal arenas where partisan politics throws every sort of bull-crap imaginable in order to disqualify rival party candidates from office. Like the dishonesty of the reasoning of the historical evolution of the Ukraine War that is the favorite pastime of the current Democrat Party lawyer-President, Democrats have undermined trust in the fairness of legal justice in the the U.S.A. for the public that already had little respect for the politicians that are elected by public. The Biden administration has at least liberalized marijuana laws to help let a dopey political mileau accept the way things are in the politics of Sodom and Gomorrah supervised by an elite three stooges beekeeper shadow government.

New York would sentence a poor citizen convicted of 34 felony counts to thirty four years or more in jail yet the billionaire Presidential candidate may not serve much more than 34 minutes. Regardless of the lunatic developments of specious and possibly a few true legal proceedings against the former President the American public are the losers in reducing the political system to a banana republic sort of shit-hole political system with a convicted felon vs an octogenarian war monger for abortion, homosexual marriage, decriminalized marijuana, open borders and apparently deceived the electorate about getting real global warming gas reduction legislation or a tax increase on the rich passed when his party had both houses of congress in control.

When Mrs Trump drives a gray Chevy Camaro with a stick shift and 454 hemi to park outside the gate of Sing Sing waiting on the hood of the car for the release of her husband from 34 minutes of hard time breaking rocks insides so they can drive off into the night across America the former President should have already withdrawn from the 2024 Presidential race and thrown his support to Gov Ron DeSantis who probably would have a better chance of defeating the perennial ego candidate incumbent Joe Biden. DeSantis might pardon Trump from future convictions at the federal level that could occur if Mr. Biden is re-elected to his Golden Pond waging interminable war on Russia and Donald Trump from the White House. Republicans seem to be trying to throw in the towel on winning the battle for the White House this year by in effect running a convicted felon to represent the scofflaw party.

It will be challenging for Republicans to be a law and order party if they run a convicted felon for President even though he would do a better job than Joe Biden- that is a very low bar to cross. Republicans shouldn’t be a war monger party too advancing the prospects for global thermonuclear war by letting Joe Biden take another term. Under the influence of the administration’s Rasputin, Joe Biden has ‘adapted and adjusted’ this policy to allow Ukraine to use U.S. supplied weapons including missiles to attack Russia. Joe Biden’s Rasputin (Sect. Blinken) may believe there is sufficient legal distinction between the U.S. attacking Russia itself and Ukraine using U.S. weapons and training to attack inside Russia to keep Russia from retaliating in some way directly on the United States.

The late Sen Edward Kennedy transformed the Democrat Party into a party led by combat lawyers. Like the evolution from peace time to war time military fighter aircraft regulations that allow more radical turns in time of war, Democrat lawyer politicians have jettisoned any regulatory norm for democracy and politics in order to press for present political victories regardless of the consequences to the nation in the future. Republicans never adjusted to the Combat lawyer approach to legislation or Executive action. They did not advance the nuclear option to win votes in Congress. They can count on the fact that some Americans just won’t vote for a convicted felon to lead the nation; even if the conviction was made in a blue state where Hillary Clinton lives-loser of the 2016 Presidential race and Bill Clinton live- a founding father of the theft of Ukraine from Russia. Combat lawyers have an amoral evolutionist ethic and value winning at any price. The west is militarily stronger than Russia in their opinion and therefore can continue to defend the post Cold War redistribution of Russian land to Ukraine as the new normal with the majority of voters being ignorant, like themselves, of world history except as it is useful for increasing their wealth and power. In the modern world that is a Mister McGoo worldview.

One need play by the rules, even when the rules suck, when there are no viable alternatives. If Republicans want to present a no-contest election like they did in Barrack Obama’s Illinois Senate campaign they are well on the way. It is as if Wall Street is happy enough with the Ukraine war and the no tax increases on the rich history of Joe Biden that they don’t want to rock the boat with a Republican President against war in Ukraine and for a negotiated, fair and just peace and direct resumption of normal relations with Russia.
