  • Just when we thought it couldn’t get any weirder…

    Just when we thought it couldn’t get any weirder…

    The full magnitude of every category of bad stuff that is happening right now is more than most of us can wrap our minds around.

    It’s clear to most people that we are witnessing a guy who is running for the most evil human (inhuman?) in history. He and his minions are doing unimaginable horrific things, as he wages his war for fake reasons, against a country who one day was just minding it’s business, and the next is being attacked viciously by armies of troops from the next door neighbor who previously decades ago, “owned” them and now wants them back.

    Isn’t that special? What a turd. What a really awful sick jerk – some would think he is a madman, but he functions more like a mastermind of evil. Turd is too nice of a description.

    Seriously, a turd is better than this ass-clown piece of work who is vying with Adolf Hitler for most evil inhuman human ever. We just can’t conceive of the horrific things that he has people doing. We think the Taliban is bad, this guy makes the Taliban look like angels… well maybe not angels, but needless to say he’s magnitudes worse – a card carrying officer of evil.

    He doesn’t even try to use religion as his base. His goal is to take over the world. He’s like a smiling Satan. Attractive to some. He lures them in. Then he does whatever he wants if they are not 100% loyal – and even if they are, he might decide that he believes that they are not, and does away with them – he “disappears” them. He leaves fingerprints. He doesn’t care.

    What the world is starting to do is realize that likely the only way they can get him to stop is to cut him off and starve his people so that they begin putting pressure on him wink-wink to stop. However that would happen. He keeps himself in an extremely secured place – it shows how paranoid he is – and if people step out of line, or he has no use for them anymore, it’s curtains for them.

    First there are sanctions. Beginning with the rich and powerful, then working down into the hearts and minds of the citizenry. Cut off the money where possible. Transportation. Communication. Take the shiny pretty things. Deprive them of basic supplies. As sanctions cut off all sorts of necessities that sustain the country, like McDonald’s and Burger King, people may figure out that the world is not happy with him in a big way. No joke. The squeeze will get tighter and tighter.

    Plus the kicker is that this also affects mobile devices and support for those addictive objects. No more games, kids! Daddy has been bad, so you don’t get to play! Who loves Russian TV? Nobody.

    He tells them that they are fighting Nazis. How the hell did he come up with this? The leader of the country is Jewish, FFS! Seriously? Couldn’t make up a different reason? WTF? But his people who are loyal to him are buying it. Some aren’t. Some have left. Where can they go? That’s the question.

    The issue is that his propaganda machine is so strong, and he’s a dick-tater in a fake democracy. If people step out of line, he has those arrested that go against him – and God only knows how big his prison capacity is – it could be that one day he has most of the population in prisons and he and a small portion (minions) are all that’s left. Imagine that. In fiction such things have happened. Dystopian? Real? We will see. He sits on resources that many depend upon, outside of his country, so this will be a re-balancing of dependencies for those countries affected.

    He’s the evil guy people knew deep down they should have never trusted. Those that did are crying now. It will take awhile to work out how to become unsnared.

    It’s not like when the dinosaurs got wiped out by a meteor, but almost.

    It’s certainly interesting to watch our friends at Anonymous do what they do best for the “rest of the world” aka “team”. You go folks – dig out and expose everything you can for the good of the planet. Please.

    Certainly interesting to watch all of this unfold and to be, especially in admiration of the Ukrainians and their leader. What a guy – and to think that the big cheeto(r) tried to jerk him around… That action was a sign that something with the big cheeto was amiss.

    But we know that. We know that the creep waging war now had a lot to do with the big cheeto being elected in the first place. The creep has pictures of the big cheeto doing outlandish things, right? It’s all a part of the creepy underworld of rich folks that love to flirt with adventure and danger – to do weird things for money – like some sort of gigolo. And somehow, as this is figured out, we likely will see some shameful faces. “Yeah, well… I thought it was a good idea at the time.”

    Lots of evidence points to the creep’s minions manipulating everything from public opinions and the voting in just the right places on election night in 2016, as we sat in shock as the returns came in. This didn’t just happen in the US, but has also in other places. Something was up. Something is up. Perhaps parts of a larger scheme as yet to be uncovered.

    All the visits by the republican politicians from every walk and level of politics to Russia, to be wined and dined (or “vodka’d”, as it were) – what do you think?

    Some of these are people so gullible that they likely signed on to get favors, because favors are what they love to give and receive! For some of them, it relates somehow to their version of Jesus and in their contorted vision of the world, all of this fits – because these “leaders” are prophets protected by their God, and they should listen to them. Hallelujah!

    The “revival” style political rallies that these “leaders” host are based on a template created by the televangelists from the large evangelical organizations. When they travel, the goal is to raise bazillions by hosting these “whip up the crowd” style gatherings then making everyone feel special for attending by structuring the speeches to hit them right in the heart of their souls with blather that somehow makes them feel justified in all their grumblings and deep seated anger.

    Then come out at the end (or sometimes in the beginning with those “special deals for special people”) come the hooks that are designed to have attendees get out their credit cards, check books, or “hey we’ll take cash” – even PayPal and Apple Pay! There’s a sucker born every minute. The hooks have the bait and those that are caught – the gullible – send the cash. Bird-nests on the ground.

    Elections are like sporting events – the Super Bowls of politics. 2016 was a big one. The proof of concept that elections could indeed be manipulated. 2020 was the disappointment and these people are furious. They decided to not take it. They decided to organize and plan the attack to stop it and turn it back – Insurrection 1.0. Watch this space. Meanwhile, those that partook do the old gaslighting trick – accuse everyone else of doing the wrongs that they themselves undertook – and saying it loud over and over and over to make the point. Investigations go on and results are as thin as chicken broth.

    Later leading up to the 2016 election, it was tricky. The players were such that it was a delicate situation. It was certainly tampering by “those people controlled by that guy, the head of that country”, the FBI said it was, and the CIA, and what’s that guy’s name that we forgot that did that long investigation? Mueller? Yeah him. All that was buried in the vault.

    But it didn’t die. 2020 happened. Again, the sheer outlandishness was enough to scare enough people that many are demanding that this kind of nonsense be stopped. There are multiple investigations ongoing. People are getting impatient. How could we let this go? We all hope that the time is coming close where the evidence is overwhelming and the warrants go out – and the cases are iron clad – because there will be a lot of fight and resistance – and no doubt the authorities have to plan how to deal with this – everywhere.

    Back to this war in Ukraine… Sure glad that Zelensky is there because he sure knows how to connect with his people and within them there don’t seem to be a large proportion of butt-heads like we have here that still support the loser ex-president of the USA. They are fighting back, and the rest of the free world is sending them weapons, money, and taking in their people who have escaped – those numbers are mounting daily. Tragedies continue to unfold. No one really knows the depth and bench strength of the attackers. Their display isn’t elegant, but they are persistent. However, the resistance that they face, right now, is more persistent than they ever dreamed it would be.

    I’m not opinionated, but I LOVE our President right now – he rocks! Thank God he has enough experience that he is not shooting from the hip on this… Scary to think if this had happened with his predecessor.

    But there is much that we do not know, and will not know until actions are taken, despite the ongoing assumptions on social media that somehow we will get warning. That will not happen.

    Sometimes in the minds of individuals who think about this all the time, the notion comes up – is the war in Ukraine a big decoy? “Look over here” while something happens over there that is bigger and badder, more sinister than anyone could imagine. We thought it was bad in 2020…

    Well, it sure is weird. It’s very very sad for people there and it’s so frightening and devastating beyond anyone’s imagination. The people of Ukraine were just living life one day, then the next, everything changed and for some, life is taken away. Everything.

    Earth is the strangest place I’ve ever been.

    Don’t take your daily life for granted. That’s the lesson here.

  • the horror. dear Mr. Donkey, can you help us, please?

    the horror. dear Mr. Donkey, can you help us, please?

    Right now observing the culture is a very scary thing.

    It seems that we have a nominee (presumptive candidate) that has given permission to anyone who wants, to be the most awful, say anything on their minds self that they can be.  No regard for anyone else, showing how ugly and horrible they are inside exists for them as a pleasure – a release of long held emotions that this man has given them permission to vent and use to further their ends.

    It is an all in angry, fed-up, hope being expressed by these supporters, for someone to get them out of their miserable situations where they have been since whenever, likely due to not getting enough of whatever it was at the time that they thought that they needed it, or felt it was due to them – and refusing to take individual accountability for being in charge of their own lives, who are now stating how victimized that they have been – but how, now, they will take charge and shoot anyone and everyone who is going to threaten them, or take their stuff, or do whatever it is that they think these threats will do.

    They are angry at the “government” for dis-enabling them, but yet, they say they want limited government.  They are angry at people who are of other races for taking things from them (like jobs), yet they wouldn’t take the jobs that a majority of those people of other races hold – mainly, because many of the jobs that these angry people aspire to have are out of their reach due to their own personal shortcomings, for which they will not own or do anything to remedy.

    They want the right to own guns and use them, because they perceive that there is some sort of shadow government force that is going to come haul them off somewhere or take their things, many of which they do not really own, but have bought on credit – so the logic is pretty crazy:  it amounts to non-sense – what would be stolen is the “right to pay off the debt”.  It goes on, and on, and on.

    One can only imagine what they have conjured up in their minds. From what I hear, the imaginations of these people have run wild, or else they have seen and been influenced in their thinking by too many fantasy films with related subject matter.  They are fed daily because they don’t get out of their armchairs, where they sit, developing an unfit mind and body, watching too much news from extreme minded media.  Perhaps they are the children of those who were strong John Birchers in the years, post WWII, raised in a household of conspiracy theories, paranoia, and hate for anyone and anything not like themselves.

    Who knows?

    For one thing, I fervently do not want to have this country taken down by these people.  My state has already been taken.  It is a scary place to live when you are exposed to what can happen if you get on the “wrong-side” of anyone who is staunchly embedded in those aforementioned belief systems.  Refer to my post about my massage experience when the therapist suddenly turned angry on my back.  

    We pray for balance to prevail and we pray for the return of sanity – but the biggest problem that we are facing is that these people think that they are the sane ones, and the rest of us are crazy –therein lies the problem.

    I suppose that we are forced to have to watch this unfold, then watch further as we get onto the showdown in November – that’s when we REALLY have to pray hard for peace (and for taking away the madness of crowds).  The news is pervasive and everywhere unless you cloister yourself in a cave and shut off all media.

    The worry is that this violent trend will continue to escalate and that means that being in the wrong place at the wrong time is more likely for all of us.

    Grant us Peace.  Please.  Before it gets worse.

  • it’s happening again. groundhog day.  we can’t really do much about it. stupid weather.

    it’s happening again. groundhog day. we can’t really do much about it. stupid weather.

    Look at this weather forecast:

    IMG_7892Not pretty.  Again?  Really?

    The mosquitoes are going to eat us alive.  We are going to have a big wet mess again if this really happens.  Here lately, it seems that we’ve ended up in an endless do-loop cycle of “unprecedented” weather events.

    Not happy about this.  I was going to get to see my grand-baby this weekend, but now the likelihood of the roads being “underwater” between here and there is growing in a predictable way – but you know, they will never say positively one way or the other – they will interpret the data and make their predictions.

    But just look at the facts, yourself.  Presently, the Brazos River continues to rise, as it still has not reached flood stage.  Evacuations are ongoing.  Today.  We are waiting on another report but in the meantime, the map here on the USGS WaterWatch (#WaterWatch) site has the latest info for you to visualize the WHERE of all of this wacked-out weather.

    Here is what the forecasters from our NWS are saying as of the latest forecast before this writing:

    Area forecast discussion
    National Weather Service Houston/Galveston Texas
    1042 am CDT Wednesday Jun 1 2016

    Update…
    atmosphere is very moist with precipitable water of 1.7 to 1.8″
    this morning but this will be increasing throughout the afternoon
    and Thursday. Troughing along the coast to just off of crp will
    slowly lift north and help with storm development. Today expecting
    scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms and have raised
    probability of precipitation accordingly mainly over the central and eastern areas.
    Rainfall rates of 2″ per hour already going over Polk/Trinity
    counties this morning. Will raise a Flash Flood Watch across the
    area through Friday afternoon but may need extending.

    Discussion…
    southeastern Texas is readying itself for another few days of
    precipitation brought on by periods of locally moderate to heavy
    rainfall that will likely induce or aggravate regional flash and
    river flooding. All of the synoptic ingredients are in place, from
    the gradual spreading of the upper levels as jet level winds become
    more diffulent just ahead of the southwestern-settling mid to upper
    low to the Stout lower to mid level southeasterly 20-35 knot inflow
    feeding inland convection with near 2 inch precipitable waters.
    The devil is in the details as they say and this couldn’t be more
    true of a idiom than for US over the next several days. Yes,
    confidence is mounting that many across the region will experience
    a round or three of impressive rainfall (rates) that will again
    produce flooding and quite possibly various communities will be
    dealing with wind damage from either localized wet downbursts or
    weak tornadoes from passing strong thunderstorm clusters. As is
    the case with all of these anticipated potential severe weather
    events…the question of the exact timing and location of the most
    intense weather will go unanswered until either right before its
    passage or during the heat of battle itself. Although the vicinity
    (unfortunately southwestern-positioned) upper low and subsequent
    shortwave disturbances rotating around this main feature will
    ultimately be the impetus to inclement weather, it will be the
    mesoscale that determines the when and the where of the most
    severe rainfall and wind. Or, in other words, it will be that
    prior convection that drives future convective behavior and, if we
    can better pinpoint this on a 6 hour time line, then we may be
    able to more accurately convey a relatively higher confidence with
    a 12,or even 24, hour forecast.

    The target days for the highest rainfall will be from as early as
    today through as late as Saturday afternoon. This is the period in
    which the upper low currently digging down over the lower U.S.
    Southwest and the northern Mexico providences of Sonora and
    Chihuahua will nestle itself over Texas, particularly over eastern
    or south central state. With the highly moist ‘condition’ally
    unstable air mass already in place over the region, this scenario
    is the worse possible for US as it places eastern Texas under the
    best upper exhaust pattern for series of disturbances (the ‘conditional’)
    to generate lift and maintain an environment conducive to the
    formation of continual clusters of thunderstorms to slowly travel
    (train) over the area. Not expecting overall storm motion to be
    all that fast within a forecast weakly steered lower layer. As of
    now, the forecast calls for likely rain/storm chances commencing
    today and persisting through the weekend. There will be periods of
    either very light or no precipitation, especially if an mesoscale convective system travels
    across the County Warning Area and creates subsidence in its wake. A model and
    National center blend equates to an areawide 5 day quantitative precipitation forecast of between
    4 to 5 inches, locally higher with amounts of greater than 10
    inches certainly not out of the question. Of course, it will be
    those 1 inch amounts over 15 minutes across more urbanized landscapes
    that will be of the highest threat versus double digit rainfall
    over a span of several days.

    On a major side note…the city (iah) has not yet recorded a 90f
    degree day this year. If this forecast pans out and overcast with
    rainfall plagues the region through the weekend, then the city
    would likely not meet 90f for the remainder of the week. This
    would place 2016 in the top 5 if 90f was not met by Sunday (the
    latest day was on June 15th, 1897). 31
