What Infrastructure Would Elon Musk Rebuild With $2 Trillion?

What could Elon Musk do with two trillion dollars if he was tasked with rebuilding or innovating replacement American infrastructure? Congressional leaders have agreed with President Trump to spend two trillion dollars on infrastructure, yet public debt is already $22 trillion. Adding more debt won't help the nation. Neither would adding infrastructure paradigms that were new a century ago.

Are government politicians smart enough to get more bang for two trillion bucks? Could some of Beto O'Rourke's or AOC's green ideas fit in? A better approach might be for the government to solicit ideas on the best uses for two trillion, before deciding to throw out the pork.

Venezuelan Uprising Shows Civilians Have Tough Job Without Merc Support

Venezuela's uprising against the Maduro regime shows the difficulty a popular civilian movement has in revolting against military protected unpopular elitist rule. When Boris Yeltsin got rid of the unpopular Supreme Soviet he had solid military support. Without at least shoulder-fired rockets to destroy urban armor putting down civilians, civilians have little chance of successfully revolting against a tyrannical government.

One wonders why the Trump administration is recalcitrant on providing arms able to get the attention of the Maduro military, such as rockets. Those items are very easy to use. Civilians can work them for-themselves.

Nominal Comparison of Carlsen's and Kasparov's Career Vectors

I.M.O.world chess champion Magnus Carlsen seems like the next generation Kasparov. Fischer might have had more intellectual capability than either. If Carlsen and Kasparov’s life situations were exchanged (Carlsen growing up in the Soviet chess school) the results would be about the same regarding ratings with Kasparov going for 2900.

Caesar vs Napoleon at Chess- The Winner Is?

On raw ability without training in chess, Caesar had better potential to win at chess than Napoleon. Caesar was a brilliant military engineer and strategist; possibly the best in the history of war. A sharp engineer might calculate chess board combinations better than a non-commissioned artillery officer . If one was drafting talent to play in the pro chess league Caesar would be selected in the first round while Napoleon would be lucky to be signed as a free agent.
Napoleon avoided facing the Russian General Suvorov- a wise choice for he would have lost in conflict, and made an expedition to Egypt instead. Caesar probably would have discovered a way to trap Suvorov instead of avoiding him until General Suvorov became hors de combat due to old age, as did Napoleon.

NRA Needs Sigourney Weaver to Be Its Leader

The NRA Needs to be pro-active and hire a female president able to bring women into the gun club. Sigourney Weaver was an early role model for the modern woman tough-as-nails kick-butt individual. In The Alien she was the sole survivor with common sense.

While some guy like Bruce Willis could take the duties seriously with the gravitas the job deserves, President Trump is in a panic that Democrats are trying to destroy the American right to own guns so females and homosexuals may dominate them within a socialist new world order. Maybe only a woman with good kung fu can right the capsized NRA ship’s course.

Ideally Milla Jovovich would be the President of the N.R.A., or even the captain of the space ship Raza in Dark Matter. She is a tough one with all sorts of good moves.


V.A. Dentists May Have Zero Production Incentive

Veterans Administration dentists apparently have no incentive to be productive and treat a lot of veterans. V.A. dentists are paid an annual salary of nearly a quarter of a million dollars with benefits and retirement and  vacation time as well. Where a dentist in private practice might treat a dozen patients a day, V.A. dentists may treat few or none. That leaves veterans with a lot of bad teeth.

Probably the Trump administration should create some kind of productivity incentive, because a certain percentage of V.A. dentists need motivation to be more productive. Some V.A. dentists are quite productive, yet the motivation is personal for there is no requirement for it.

SD Synagogue Shooter May Have Been Godless Atheist

The 19-year-old San Diego synagogue shooter was the son of a high school science teacher. Because an arsonist hit a mosque near the synagogue a month ago it is reasonable to speculate that the shooter may have been the arsonist too. His particular hate motivation to attack Abrahamic religious centers may have been godless atheist hate driven by evolutionists that hate Christians, Muslims and Jews. Jews are the softest targets of the three because they are fewer in numbers.

Democrats and California colleges are a cluster of godless atheists that regard Abrahamic faiths as puerile. Democrats and other godless atheists seek to defile and degrade those of faith with purging and death in order to leave themselves as worldly examples of kosher dirty swine.
