Coming attractions: The Night of Knives(?)

items of note for the day.

1`Francis points out that currrent (p)Resident has a short half life approaching. and the knives are out, apparently.   

2; Against the napkin math of some the Ruble came back strong.   Well, when you have to use gold to purchase the rubles you intend to use to buy your oil,,,,     and if the petro-dollar is no longer regarded as THE Reserve currency, which IS happening, all the noise about US SUPERPOWER will be dust in the wind.  

3 The intentional destruction of Family Values, FAMILY, and many of the other aspects from America’s past that made us one of the stronger countries (also read as ‘puritan values’ in some circles) means TO ME, that when the ball drops, there is going to be far greater turmoil on these shores than what was seen during the 1860’s.  BUT, those values are still about in scattered corners, and WILL make a comeback, because those are what will work, and true AmeriCANS are all about ‘what works’.

4 Its ALL kabuki theater.   Was just watching news streams and the ‘fentanyl crisis’ is back on center stage for a few.   I guess the Ukraine is losing its SAST* audience so we needs a new crisis to keep the sheep off balance.

There is a reason I gave away a 56″ flat screen TV back in 2010 and hadn’t looked back.  I DON’T MISS the MSM brain-drip programming.  Its times like this when I am congregating with others that I get to see the machine back in action, but I have had enough time away from it to be able to see the gears in motion.
