A local (Hudson Valley, NY) news station had a "news" ticker that stated that the FBI had arrested a local man for being involved with the J6 event. I don't know if any other details were provided (I only tuned in for the weather :) )

This is a little long, and only for those who want to learn a little more about global sea level rise. I have long contended that the "man-made climate change" propaganda is easily busted when viewing global sea-level rise. If there was a significant increase in the rate of global warming, presumably due to human activities, there would be a corresponding increase in the rate of global sea level rise. There has not been such an increase, UNLESS you use the satellite data that has only been collected for the past 30 years or so. The text below is my discussion with the chatGPT AI on this discrepancy.

I haven't seen the ABC Sunday "This week" show in a long time, but happened to have it on today when the host Martha Raddatz tried to say how expensive it would be to deport millions of illegals, and Donalds bluntly stated the annual cost of the illegals to Federal, state, and local governments (taxpapers), to show that it will SAVE the country money to deport them! It was a beautiful thing to see (wish I had a clip to post). The icing on the cake is that Donalds is black, adding another nail in the coffin of the Democrat party.

I saw an article a while back that Blackrock is behind the woke advertising campaigns of so many companies. The message from the article is that Blackrock wants to promote woke ideology; companies do it because Black Rock is major shareholder. It's obvious this doesn't increase stock prices, so perhaps they do it while shorting those very companies they push the woke ads on.

The attempts to get you to buy gold are off the charts! EVERY "conservative" TV and radio station has a different gold company running the ads, with the hosts claiming "X is the only company I trust". It seems like whenever there is a huge push for something like this, it is all part of a behind-the-scenes plan to rip off the average joe. My feeling is that if the SHTF and the economy collapses, what good will $100,000 in some gold company stock/fund do you? Is anyone else going to buy your $5,000 /oz gold? My theory is that this huge gold push is to drive the price of gold up to a point where the big boys DO sell out, make a killing, and leave everyone else scrambling to get out before it drops below what they bought in for. Please post your thoughts on this. Thank you.

He is a big backer of wind energy! South Dakota gets ~55% of it's electricity from wind power, but as everyone here knows, wind power is only happening because of Federal subsidies. Thune is just another big pork Federal bureaucrat! It's too bad that we can already see how opposition to Trump is organizing in DC, and not just from Democrats!

who is likely to win the 2024 presidential election ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Sorry, I don't have information about the results of that election.

You said: who is favored to win the 2024 election ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Sorry, I don't have information about the results of that election.

On any other question, it will produce a result based on various internet sources. I find it interesting that it is not providing anything on this question, which makes me believe that Trump is HIGHLY favored to win, but the programmers have instructed it to block that answer.

Wow! I don't know where else this commercial is running, but it is really good! And to see it aired during a game between teams from severely "Blue" states, was amazing! I truly would not be totally surprised if Trump won New York and several other blue states; California would be the ultimate prize, of course, but with that governor passing a law making it ILLEGAL FOR TOWNS/COUNTIES TO REQUIRE I.D. WHEN VOTING, it's not likely.

why are prominent Democrats backing away from Kamala Harris ChatGPT said: ChatGPT The situation with prominent Democrats backing away from Kamala Harris may stem from a variety of factors. Some party members are concerned about her approval ratings and perceived effectiveness as Vice President. There might also be worries about her ability to lead the ticket in future elections, particularly given the competitive political landscape.

Additionally, intra-party dynamics can play a role, with some Democrats possibly looking for new leadership options as they consider the party's future direction. This kind of strategic positioning often happens as politicians and party leaders evaluate their chances in upcoming elections. The specifics can vary based on individual motivations and the broader political context.

I am glad the likes of RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabard are backing Trump, but what bothers me is that they aren't backing him because they believe in the policies he is promoting, they are backing him out of vengeance for the Democratic party that shafted them. I wish one of these Democrats would admit that most of the Democrat policies are destroying the country, and that they are backing Trump to save the country!

My wife had to have hernia surgery, after spending the night in a hospital room in pain, prior to "emergency" surgery. We just received the bill. The grand total billed to our insurance company was almost $77,000! Of course, we can't tell which of the items are totally bogus. Even if I knew some were bogus, the insurance company would likely not care, since years ago, after another hospital visit, I found a bunch of bogus charges, and when I called the insurance company, they didn't care. It's all one big scam! I don't know how much we are going to owe because the summary sent by the insurance company indicated they are still reviewing the submitted charges from the hospital.

I started to write a post on how it is ridiculous to think that some HAARP type technology could be used to modify a hurricane, but now I'm not dismissing it!

Hurricanes are powered by the warmth of the ocean they are over. Although cloud seeding could possibly increase storm potential, is inputting energy to affect an existing hurricane a possibility?

The energy required to raise the temperature of the top foot of water in an area of the ocean that is 100 miles in diameter by one degree Fahrenheit is approximately 14.27 trillion joules (or 14.27 terajoules). A single megaton of TNT is equivalent to about 4.184 terajoules (TJ) of energy. So, a megaton TNT explosion releases approximately 4.184 terajoules of energy, and therefore, less than a 4 megaton TNT explosion could raise that patch of ocean by one degree, and to raise it several degrees, which would be required to significantly alter a storm, it would require multiples of that.

Although seemingly beyond current energy production levels, the energy required is in the ballpark of what could be generated through nuclear fission, and who knows, maybe they already have a way to generate such energy through fusion, or some technology currently hidden from the public.

Since moving to a new town three years ago, I have become aware of how municipal bonds are a SUPREME ripoff of taxpayers! I have tried searching internet for this phenomena, and there are only vague references to it; almost all links that show up are about investing in them, not about what a ripoff to the taxpayers they are! Where I live in NY, I found that at least one multi-million dollar bond was passed more than 20 years ago (still trying to find out if it was even voted on; I suspect it was just passed through a backroom deal between a private utility company and the county government officials) to pay for connection of a new group of customers to a municipal water supply. The original bond resulted in 402 property owners paying for this bond, which increases annual property taxes by about $600 per property owner! (the water isn't even fit to drink, so we have to supplement it with bottled water. All together, we are paying equivalent to about $140/month for water!) Cities all over the country use these bonds to pay for things, while passing on the cost to the taxpayers, who are essentially just paying the interest on the bonds, for decades (just like a home mortgage, for the first half or more of a loan, payments almost go exclusively to interest, rather than principal). In my local case, the private company that runs water supply systems all over our county, pretends they are a government entity. The project they passed at least one bond to cover appears to have actually cost about half of what they claimed, meaning the bond was just a cover to pad their budget. I urge everyone here to look at your tax records to see if you are also being ripped of by one or more bond issues of the past.

Vance recently stated that the natural gas in Pennsylvania could supply the world with 500 years worth of gas. I thought this seemed a little too high :)

Here is what I found:

Global Gas Consumption 132,290,211 million cubic feet per year (from www.worldometers.info), or ~132 trillion cubic feet

Pennsylvania has approximately 200 trillion cubic feet of gas in the ground.

Therefore, PA gas could supply about 1.5 years of global natural gas consumption.

If this calculation is off, please correct, but it looks like Vance needs to back off on his 500 year claim, or the media will go to town with it.

Sean "Diddy" Combs has been linked to several politicians over the years, primarily through his advocacy work and public appearances. Notably, he has interacted with figures such as:

Barack Obama - Diddy supported Obama's campaigns and was involved in various initiatives aimed at mobilizing young voters. Hillary Clinton - He endorsed her during the 2016 presidential campaign and participated in events supporting her. Kamala Harris - Diddy has shown support for Harris, particularly during her run for vice president. Additionally, he has been involved in various philanthropic and social justice causes, often collaborating with politicians to promote issues like voting rights and criminal justice reform.

I've been watching MSM's lead up to the DNC convention, and how they are preparing for violence and assassination attempts, with comments about "retaliation" (I think I'm hearing that) for the Trump assassination attempt. This looks like a setup for the Deep State to SUCCEED in the assassination of someone they deem disposable in order to sway people back to the Democrat plantation. Perhaps it will only be some generic "terrorist" event, also set up to have a "conservative" be the perpetrator.

I turn off the wifi on my laptop when I am not using it, to presumably prevent hacking into it when I am not on it. However, I have noticed the CURRENT WEATHER appearing on my home screen, before I enter my password to actually use it! I searched, and a few years ago, people said it wasn't possible, but one commenter said, "The new windows might do it" (or some comment like that). Well, it seems that it HAS to be able to do it if it is showing current weather! So now, I am going to have to turn my laptop completely off to provide the level of security I thought I had! (I guess it won't be long before they can access my laptop even with the power off)

I watched a bit of the Glenn Beck show today, talking about how it is well established that Fauci was fully aware of the Wuhan Lab activities. It was mentioned that Rand Paul is never going to give up on his pursuit to bring light to all things covid, especially Fauci's involvement. Paul has also been outspoken regarding other "swamp" activities in the past. My question is, was the attack on Senator Paul by the neighbor actually a failed assassination attempt, using MKUltra-type means to cause the neighbor to attack him, to stop him from looking into many of the deep state activities? The attack was in 2018, prior to covid, but is it possible they were worried about him back then? It would have been a perfect way to silence the opposition. (or has he just been controlled opposition this whole time?)

1954 miles of U.S.- Mexico border

700 miles currently fenced/walled

$20,000,000 per mile stated to be the cost to build new fence/wall sections (seems way too high, but we'll go with it)

1,254 miles left to fence/wall

1,254 x $20,000,000 = 25 billion dollars

The entire border wall could be completed for less than the cost of just one of the several Ukraine funding bills!

Side note: Cost to build 4-lane interstate highways is about $5,000,000 per mile (so where they came up with $20,000,000 per mile of border fence/wall is a good question; probably just more grifting by the contractors)
