Anti-Sanity Democrats Declare Trump Insane For Netting Maduro

 Leading Democrats acted swiftly to declare President Trump insane following the capture of Venezuelan former President Maduro. Democrats have redefined insanity to mean political enemy. In that regard Democrats evolved to be the anti-sanity party, since the electoral majority are politically sane by conventional standards.

  On the socialist agenda, Maduro was a resistance hero. For real politics he was a terrible loser. Hopefully the new Venezuelan president will not resist prosperity the next three years, much less spend the lives of her citizens in a senseless conflict with international forces trying to reestablish free enterprise and democracy in Venezuela with drug trafficking to the USA. Siding with anti-sanity political forces would be a gravely wrong choice. The United States has no colonies and never will. The new president of Venezuela shouldn't be mired in the anachronistic rhetoric of anti-sanity Marxist revolutionaries that just creates war and inefficiency in economics. Democracy with an intelligent electorate works best.

  In the old days assassination of corrupt foreign leaders was lawful. That changed in the 20th century after WW2 when people sought international stability. People eventually learn to take advantage of international legal situations and loopholes to let corruption flourish, so laws need to be upgraded to remedy the way things are in the present.  The UN would have let Saddam Hussein lead Iraq forever, and dictators anywhere felt secure from foreign military intervention at least until President Obama took  out Muammar Gaddafi- via CIA support for Libyan rebels; letting civil war, anarchy and Isis flourish in Libya.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_activities_in_Libya

President Trump cannot let civil war develop and anarcho-terrorism continue in Venezuela. Powerful nations will not long tolerate neighboring nations to be inimical; harming them without bringing consequences to the mockers. That is from the rule of power, of which the rule of law is a subset. The media of course would like another Ukraine to develop in Venezuela and will encourage polemical parameters to support that vector/prospect.

A Digital Template Capture for Transfer to Custom Cut Materials

 

Digital Template Capture and Projection System for Custom Cut Building Materials

Problem / Motivation

Anyone who has ever built a shed, cabinet, or other wooden structure knows the frustration: irregular gaps and missing spaces that need to be filled with custom-cut plywood or other materials. Traditionally, this involves careful measuring, creating cardboard templates, or repeated trial and error. The process wastes both time and material.

What if you could simply take a photo of the gap and have an app provide an exact outline to project onto your new material? That is the idea presented here.

The Invention

1. Capture Module

  • A smartphone camera is used to photograph the irregular gap or missing space.

  • For accuracy, the user places a calibration marker of known size (e.g., a printed square or QR code) next to the gap. The system uses this reference for scale.

  • Future enhancements could include laser line projection or a plug-in LiDAR module to measure exact dimensions directly.

2. Processing App

  • Software analyzes the captured image, extracts the outline of the missing piece, and converts it into a dimensionally accurate 2D template.

  • The user can adjust tolerance (for example, adding 2 mm of clearance for easier fitting).

  • The template can be saved as a vector file (SVG, DXF) for further use.

3. Projection / Transfer Module

The app provides several ways to transfer the outline onto new material:

  • Projector method: A portable pico-projector aligned above the work surface projects the shape at full scale onto a sheet of plywood.

  • Robotic plotter method: A small XY plotter sketches the outline directly onto the material.

  • Augmented reality method: The app overlays the shape on the phone or tablet screen, aligned over the new sheet, guiding the user to mark the cut.

4. Cutting & Use

  • Once projected or marked, the worker traces the outline onto the plywood.

  • The piece can then be cut with standard tools, fitting accurately into the intended space.

Technical Notes / Materials

  • Smartphone with camera (existing hardware).

  • Calibration target (printable reference square).

  • Projection device (portable LED projector or AR overlay).

  • Software app (image processing and shape extraction).

Advantages

  • Saves time and reduces wasted material.

  • Increases accuracy for both amateurs and professionals.

  • Eliminates the need for cardboard templates.

  • Creates a pathway for an affordable DIY product.

Open Disclosure Statement

This invention is published here as a defensive disclosure. It is free for anyone to build, adapt, or commercialize. By publishing this, I dedicate it to the public domain and establish prior art to prevent others from patenting it.


Diagram Concept (for blog illustration):

  1. Phone captures the shape of the gap (with calibration marker).

  2. App processes the image and extracts outline.

  3. Projector displays outline full-size onto plywood.

  4. User traces and cuts the shape.
