About that CPI Problem, Waffles and Dancing, Comms Update

This will be very much highlights and on point.  Because I’ve been up since 2 AM writing next week’s Peoplenomics report as pieces of the Four Track Human model continue to fall into place.

Focus in ShopTalk Sunday will be “Yard and Garden Engineering” which is where systems thinking and calorie-quest collide with a side of mower madness…  Now down to work:

About the CPI:  11.3% Annualized

Read ’em and weep:

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.9 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis in March, after rising 0.3 percent in February, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 3.3 percent before seasonal adjustment.

The index for energy rose 10.9 percent in March, led by a 21.2-percent increase in the index for gasoline which accounted for nearly three quarters of the monthly all items increase. The shelter index also increased in March, rising 0.3 percent. The index for food was unchanged over the month as the index for food away from home rose 0.2 percent, while the index for food at home fell 0.2 percent.

The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.2 percent in March. Indexes that increased over the month include airline fares, apparel, household furnishings and operations, education, and new vehicles. Conversely, the indexes for medical care, personal care, and used cars and trucks were among the major indexes that decreased in March.

This should be fun.  Why?  The next Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is scheduled for April 28–29, 2026.

What makes it fun – and moving us in the direction of waffles and dancing is how the Fed will have to find an excuse to lower rates when inflation is (nods at the price of oil still up around a hunsky) not showing signs of heading to the “Fed target 2 percent.”  Let’s inspect the press release, the line-item for the hallowed “all items less food and energy” (because we all know those don’t matter) and see how the D.C. two-step lines up for the (just after crash “Here to save us” meeting – where, yes, rates will be lowered…(Sorry, didn’t mean to time-blur on you, but we do that sometimes). The 12 month year-on-year is on the right here:

Hey! Maybe Powell could declare victory, too?

This is really sick when you think about it: The PowersThatBe pimp-out 2 percent as the economic  center of the Universe – for how long was it? – and you mark the old man’s words here: Suddenly it won’t matter.  Iet’s has such an eau d septic to it, right?

Here is the Big Secret everyone overlooks.  Making a butt-load on money isn’t the answer.  Dialing in consumption so you can live in harmony in your own life is.  The problem which I’ve written several books on (see Amazon) is simply this: Sustainability doesn’t feed the Ruling Class, and we can’t have them suffering, now, can we?

Dance: TACOs and Waffles

Oil and Vig department here: Trump cautions Iran against charging tolls to go through Strait of Hormuz as fragile ceasefire holds. (That’s vig as in the gambling term for piece of the action not vinegar, but we write whatever lowbrow comes to mind by the time we get tapped out on Fridays like this…)

TALK-oh-time?  Islamabad prepares to host US-Iran talks, two sides remain far apart.  Our in “seer realms” sources tell us the talks won’t fail until next Friday, but whether that’s before the market close a week from now isn’t clear.  Crystal balls in the shop, kind of thing.  Crash on the 24th though, and yeah, verily, this is why/how the Fed will lower rates, but you have this all wired by now, we’re sure.

In the middle of multiple wars, we found ourselves asking “What kind of judge would do this?”  Federal judge finds Pentagon is violating court order to restore access to reporters. So the correct answer is: A bill Clinton appointee siding with the New York Times, kind of judge is the correct answer.

Frankly, and as close to balanced as we can in the fog of war out here, all the Trump dementia talk does seem to get legs when reading stories like US asks allies for quick plans to secure Hormuz after pact | Miami Herald.  So let’s me get this right: We pretend to be negotiating in good faith and in the back room making plans for a real estate grab? Who the f*** would talk sincerely to us while we’re reloading?  Wanna help a brother out, here? Eyes must be gone – I just don’t see it.

There for the taking, is it? So who’s next?  The Greenland marketing campaign seems to be on hold.  “Not me” said the little red…uh…Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel tells NBC News that he will not step down.

Things are going Trumptastically well, yet despite the NY Times headline, no, Jimmy Kimmel is not news. Jimmy Kimmel Salutes Melania’s White House Surprise – The New York Times. We won’t ask questions (How did she get a visa, though?) Instead, we will point to Thomas Massie Reacts to Melania Trump’s Epstein Statement – Newsweek.

We may be witnessing Trump mathematics.  Goes like this.  America is pushing what 345-million?  So, even though he keeps turning on former friends (Marjorie Taylor Greene, Candace Owens Respond As Trump Calls Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly ‘Losers,’) he’s not likely to run out of admirers – America is still the land of corporate and government suck-ups, let’s be fair.

Peace on Earth? A cease fire and now this??? Putin declares weekend ceasefire in Russia’s war against Ukraine for Orthodox Easter.  Drop by Monday – bring ammo.

Around the Ranch: Phones are Back On!

Thanks to the remaining (American) workers who solved it.

Still, we had enough time to get our second sat link firmed up and to decide that and Ooma Air for wifi would fit with our telecom migration plans.

Now, if Charter/Spectrum could just do something with the coil of fiber on the ground in our front yard for three years now.

Take the rest of the week off. No drug testing on Wall Street today – market futures are up even after 11.3 percent inflation reported. ViseGrips to the forearms!

  1. Dude G,

    How comes you havent connected that fiber up Ure own dam self? You got plausible deniability, and are therefore free to go about Ure business..

    On the other palm is that lying ho of a 1st Lady, Melania. Here is link to her in a whole new light in pictures. The question youse all need to ask Ureselves is are they REAL, or is it memorex ?

    For Ure viewing DIS-Pleasure – https://www.theinteldrop.org/2026/04/09/flash-melania-officially-denies-grooming-kids-for-epstein-photos-tell-a-different-story/

    Fine weekend ahead – temps are climbing and the Sun is out. 1st things first is priming the shallow well pump. Never done this system here in NC coastal house. The dam thing has an expansion tank screwed into filler hole? The shallow well feeds the irrigation system for property AND the water supply out to dock. NC be in a drought situation, so well water is big beni.
    Long ass docks here on ICW in Oak Island/West end. Yerp read that right, Oak Island faces due South, so back porch faces ICW&North. This of course means we get both Sunrise and Sunsets. A 2fer! With Son, DiL and “poppy” (6-monthsPregnant) on the way, this weekend promises to be a goodtime for all, including their big hairy & beautiful Bearnaise Mountain Saucy Dog, the Russels on the other hand..gonna be interesting.

    • I don’td want to talk down to you and all – one of my early mentors being a Subic Bay naval op of some repute. BUT a wire as two ends to it, froggy. One end here but doesn’t do shit unless it is p-lugged in at the far distant end. I don’t like fiber splicing or climbing poles. (Elaine is better that pole dancing that me, lol.) I can’t fix the “far end of broken” though – that’s what we say in eastern Europe is what the Czechs are for.

      • LMAO. Common George, you can’t possibly be looking at dark fiber. BTW (don’t look or stare into any open fiber connection, ever , home gamers).

        Seriously people, I feel that’s important to mention, especially as the little things always get overlooked, especially when it comes to radiation and emissions safety. and I’ll stop there before the echo chamber starts in my head.

        • But … can you use that open end as a laser plasma cutter and save some money by not buying one for the shop?

          OK … I will go back to my timeout chair …

    • some people like stuff that grows in bull shit,,, what ya say Grok?

      “any deseption in these photos in this article ?https://www.theinteldrop.org/2026/04/09/flash-melania-officially-denies-grooming-kids-for-epstein-photos-tell-a-different-story/

      Yes, there is deception (or at least heavy misleading presentation) in the photos used in that article from The Intel Drop.About the Article and SiteThe Intel Drop is a fringe conspiracy-oriented website that frequently publishes sensational, unverified claims mixing real events with speculation, exaggeration, and unproven narratives (including multiple anti-Trump Epstein stories). This specific piece (dated April 9, 2026) is framed as “FLASH” news reacting to Melania Trump’s recent public denial of any involvement in “grooming kids for Epstein.” She stated she had no relationship with Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell, never visited his island or flew on his plane, was never a witness in related cases, and that circulating images and stories are “completely false.”

      spectrumlocalnews.com

      The article’s headline implies the photos “tell a different story,” suggesting they prove involvement in grooming or inappropriate activity with minors.The Photos Likely Show Deception or MisrepresentationThe article itself does not provide detailed, verifiable captions or sourcing for the images (the page content is sparse on specifics). However, based on the timing and common patterns in similar claims:Many “Melania + Epstein + kids/young girls” images circulating online are fake, AI-generated, or digitally manipulated. Fact-checks have repeatedly debunked photos purporting to show Melania with Epstein and underage girls, redacted “Polaroid-style” images from supposed Epstein files, or scenes implying grooming. These often originate from clickbait YouTube thumbnails, satirical posts, or social media montages—not official releases.

      yahoo.com

      Real photos of Melania with Epstein/Maxwell exist but are from social events in the late 1990s/early 2000s (e.g., parties at Mar-a-Lago with Donald Trump, Melania, Epstein, and Maxwell present). These show adults at public gatherings and do not depict grooming, minors being recruited, or criminal acts. They prove social acquaintance during a period when Epstein was still seen as a wealthy financier by many elites—not evidence of Melania’s involvement in abuse.
      No credible Epstein file releases (from the massive DOJ document dumps) contain photos proving Melania groomed or trafficked children. Claims of such “smoking gun” images are consistently traced to fabricated or out-of-context material. Melania has explicitly called out these as “fake images and statements” that have circulated for years.

      people.com

      Common Tricks Used in Such ArticlesOut-of-context or unrelated photos: Images of Melania with children (e.g., from her modeling days, charity work, or family events) paired with Epstein-related text to imply something sinister.
      AI/satirical fakes presented as real: Tools easily create convincing (but detectable) images of Melania in compromising scenes. Some are labeled “satire” originally but get stripped of that when shared.
      Guilt by old association: Trump and Melania knew Epstein socially in the 1990s–2000s (Trump later banned him from Mar-a-Lago). This is documented but does not equal participation in his crimes. Melania has denied deeper ties.

      Bottom LineThe article relies on the classic “photos tell a different story” trope common in conspiracy content, but the visuals are either:Fabricated/AI-generated,
      Misleadingly captioned, or
      Innocuous old social photos twisted to fit a narrative.

      Melania’s denial directly addresses this tactic. There is no verified evidence from official Epstein files showing her “grooming kids” for him. Always cross-check images with reverse-image search tools (e.g., Google Lens, TinEye) or fact-checkers like Snopes/Lead Stories when sensational claims like this appear—especially on sites like The Intel Drop.If you can describe the specific photos in the article (what they appear to show, any text/captions next to them, or upload/share links), I can analyze them more precisely for edits, AI artifacts, or original sources”

    • Some of those photos of Ep. and Mel together look like really bad pre-AI photoshop fakes.

  2. Welp Home Gamerz, back in the days of MtGox yours truly was getting ready to make a committed Bitcoin purchase and was pulling the trigger on Bitcoin mining on Macs (think GPU). Back then in 2014 the hash rate solve difficulty supported it…. Regardless, I let the FUD of Mt Gox derail my stacking and mining plans.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Gox

    Had I recognized the FUD for the campaign that it was? Like I used to do with the gold prices and MSM story telling back in the day.?….. I wouldn’t be typing this today.

    Fast forward to today and armed with the knowledge of how MSM FUD campaigns work now…….Becky Quick and Ross Sorkin just made it ok for me to continue to ignore owning or accumulating Bitcoin for my portfolio. How dare I make Adam Back richer lmao.

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/i-am-not-satoshi-says-adam-back-on-bitcoin-creator-theory/vi-AA20AklI

    Home gamerz, if a hypertext search on Adam back interview with CNBC reveals over two days of this “Adam Back as Satoshi” meme already in the channel, it’s a FUD campaign and a macro bottom call on the level of FTX and Mt Gox evolutions. A gift and an accumulation opportunity. IMHO.

    This is not advice. Please get your own hallucinations . LOL. So glad I woke up to this in 2017 and started stacking with lunch money.

    If it goes to zero? It was just lunch. Somehow, I believe on the long it is quite the opposite, just ask Larry.

    https://youtu.be/HCRFVThSTfY

    And where was Larry when he came upon that revelation while talking to clients??

    Funny how its getting kinetic over in that same part of the neighborhood. Prechter would call it a trough war. Welcome to the 4 th turning.

    Got Blockchain?

    • I do believe we still be in the Crypto Winter of Accumulation – 2026.

      Max FUD, max bullscheisse.

      You see the incredible amount of BAZILLIONS pissed away on the sands of Persia, that is billions with a capital B. And thats just the scheisse they are admitting to, which less than HALF of the casualty’s of Personnel and Equiment over in the bloody sandbox. You see the outrageous amounts of $ being charged for 1 lousy gallon of Gas. Yerp 3rd world gets crushed first, along with the non working grifters here in USA and the less fortunate.

      Really amazing times – jobs go begging, while the workers actually Working seem clueless, braindead or worse. It has become a real joy and revelation when I can interact with an retail employee with half a brain. This as the youngsters rising are even LESS ENGAGED, they cant even talk to another person, they tend to shy away, avert eye contact, and dumber than all get out.
      WTF happend to American yutes Intellects ? Seems upwards 3/4’s of todays Yutes be Noopid on a good day.

      Can see the pieces of the MIGA grand plan coming together – select few elites (all zionazi’s) ruling on top, with greatly reduced population of low IQ, non- thinking drones to service the Ai’s running everything..brilliant future, no?

      Key word going forward..FIRE !

      – Sunday is Greenjacket Payday! Can Rory repeat, he is leading after 1st rd?

      No whistles hear.

      • He didn’t bash len, he didn’t bash america, and I assume a greenjacket has something to do with people who don’t have a riding mower and who need help with club selection?
        I let this one slide…

  3. (“we will point to Thomas Massie Reacts to Melania Trump’s Epstein Statement – Newsweek.”)

    Epstein’s pedo island issues I believe is one of the dead horse issues that will drive campaign platforms..The cases involving Jeffrey Epstein and pedo island abuse of power will simply become a recurring campaign theme not because they are close to being resolved or there’s any true will to resolve any of the horrific activities that were accused of happening there, but because they can’t be fully resolved due to the level of influential individuals involved. The view I see is that the situation touches individuals with significant social, financial, or political influence, and that this level of power creates barriers to full transparency or accountability.In those neighborhoods issues like this simply don’t exist..

    From the perspective of the issue I see is that I personally believe, the Epstein case becomes more of a symbolic issue of a broader frustration that is simply popular with the viewpoints of the public..just like the ever popular issue of abortion being a major campaign issue for decades..
    the belief I have is that certain issues involving exploitation or misconduct are handled differently depending on a person’s social status.
    The view I personally see often points to is that individuals who face the harshest consequences tend to come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, while those with greater influence may appear insulated or treated differently by the system our prison system is filled with examples.. heard anything about that C. rap singer and his activities in court..nothing he had to much influence in society.. it like many will quietly go away.

    My thought is the topic of Epstein island will persist in public campaign debates and political messaging only to acquire votes of the general population..
    The reason the issue is popular is it represents, for many in our population, a larger pattern of concerns that they feel are overlooked, minimized, or ignored by people in higher social circles.
    So the issue becomes less about one case and more about what it symbolizes — a perceived divide in how justice is applied and which problems receive attention and will only be used as a popular campaign platform that will last decades of political rivals that will use the platform as a campaign stance.. I’m the man or woman politician to get this resolved campaign platform…
    instead what I believe we will see is an alternate issue being brought up at a time just before to draw the populations attention in a different direction then the issue will quietly be tabled till the next campaign season…remember the ” family business filled with corruption” right after the election it dropped from public view tabled and forgotten.. its simply politics at its best.. its the business model of politics.

  5. So, this seems so good for U, have Elaine climb the pole (set up lawn chair[s] in good viewing spot) and don’t forget : pictures or it didn’t happen.

    Fiber is cool on the user end. I keep meaning to chat with the Coop lead tech about if it _ever_ goes down? We are supplied (cooked into the sub. cost) a battery backup. If the power goes down we are good for another 4-5 hours. So, the fiber signal is still there, like an old hard wire phone. Kewl. Probably all determined by the gen sets at Coop main base?

    CPI? A slew of data rolled out this morning. Much, most, is based on polls (consumer confidence, etc.). Deselect for Orange Man haters and watch the understandably aggrieved masses wobble. All understandable. Though it’s my belief the career worker bees are doing the best they can, there remains a skew in gobs of data.

    ATL : Hunter raptors on the air. Master Loon hovering in the foredeck so, fishinh must be good. Based on the monster Redtail hawks on the air, the bunny hunting goes on apace (now that Easter is in our wake). Mowed our lakefront, and the neighbors too, right before the rain returned. The lake is so high we have a couple low areas that persist as standing water. Note to Chief Garner : need to rake in a few cubic yards of topsoil.

    I had the benefit of young(er) fella on Wednesday. Mrs. E joined the fray so, we can clock (9) man (err, and wimmin) hours in (3) hours. Quite a lot of time has been spent on ground we own and never use, a slope hill at roadside. My Bride is fond of it so? I am mostly wobbling into the hillside with a pole pruner to fight against briar canes. Hate them barstards.

    Moved the last of my split wood into family room and garage. Had -0- woodpile for an hour. Roped and drug a 60′ white oak limb off the hill, broke it down and stacked rounds. Now I have a fresh half cord aging. Likely as not some will end up in lakeside firepits. I can’t seem to stay awake for those. Sigh.

    • For when you fiber goes down since you still trade now and then a Starlink Mini might be good backup insurance. Only costs $5/mo to keep active (still get very limited speed with no data caps on the $5/mo plan) and then when needed just log on and say GIVE ME FULL SPEED – (data caps may then apply depending upon what plan you go active with $50/mo 100 gig data cap, $160/mo no data cap). You can switch back and forth as much as you want but when you do go active you do have to pay for one full month of service at that level.

      When AT&T wired our neighborhood with fiber a few years ago instead of pole based batteries for power failures they put in plumbed natural gas fired generators along it’s route … sort of a carryback to their old telephone days of ALWAYS UP even in a power failure. I doubt anybody but AT&T would go to that expense, but you might want to check as to what the deal is with your fiber provider.

  6. “Trump cautions Iran against charging tolls to go ”

    Iran could call it a transit fee similar to crossing the Panama Canal. Or a port fee similar to what Trump did “on Chinese-built, -owned, or -operated vessels”. Tariffs? Excise tax or user fee.

    Iran has the monopoly.

    • Mic drop: funny.. the TDS MSM hasn’t really given this the light of day it deserves. Of course they haven’t because it would support the Donald. TDS is a mental disorder IMHO LOL.

      Short answer: Yes — in most cases charging a general toll for passage through a natural waterway (especially an international strait or for innocent passage through a coastal State’s territorial sea) is inconsistent with modern law of the sea.

      Key points (concise):
      – Transit/innocent?passage regimes: UNCLOS protects (a) transit passage through international straits and (b) innocent passage through territorial seas. States bordering such routes may regulate for safety/security but may not block or levy tolls for mere passage.
      – Charges allowed only for services: Article 26(1) LOSC and related doctrine permit charges only for services actually rendered to a ship (e.g., pilotage, lock use, salvage) — not a routine passage toll.
      – Customary law and state practice: International case law and long?standing practice reinforce that coastal states cannot impose transit tolls that impede navigation.
      – Exceptions/limits: During armed conflict or where passage is not continuous/innocent, coastal states may suspend passage for bona fide security reasons; fees for specific services (pilotage, port dues) remain lawful; a treaty could lawfully authorize charges between consenting states.
      – Enforcement/recourse: Affected states can protest diplomatically, bring claims under UNCLOS dispute mechanisms or international courts, or assert freedom of navigation operationally.

      ## Applicability to the Strait of Hormuz

      – Legal status: The Strait of Hormuz is an international strait used for international navigation between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. As such, the legal regime of **transit passage** under UNCLOS applies. Transit passage cannot be impeded by coastal States so long as ships exercise continuous and expeditious passage in accordance with applicable rules.

      – Tolling: A coastal State (Iran or Oman) may not lawfully impose a general toll for routine transit passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Charges that function as a blanket passage toll would be inconsistent with UNCLOS and customary law on freedom of navigation and transit passage.

      – Permissible measures/fees:
      – States bordering the strait may require safety measures, traffic separation schemes, reporting, or pilotage in narrow channels if consistent with international law; fees tied to specific services actually provided (pilotage, vessel traffic services, port services) are generally lawful.
      – Security measures (temporary restrictions, security zones) can be imposed if based on legitimate safety/security reasons, but they must not amount to de facto blockade or discriminatory tolling.

      – Enforcement and practical reality:
      – Any attempt by a coastal State to collect a passage toll would likely prompt diplomatic protests, possible recourse under UNCLOS dispute settlement, and freedom-of-navigation responses by other States.
      – Geopolitical and military realities in the region mean legal norms interact with security dynamics; states sometimes assert control through regulation or fees in practice, but that does not make a blanket toll legally valid under transit passage rules.

      If you want, I can draft specific legal arguments and cite UNCLOS provisions and state practice or provide recent incidents and responses related to the Strait of Hormuz.

      Not advice get your own rabbit hole to dive down lol.

  9. they try and they claim,,, MAGA is split but when you look back,,
    flippers and floppers,, like fish on dry land,, or Judas goats

    Yes, Candace Owens was anti-Trump in the past. In 2015, while running the marketing agency Degree180, she wrote blog posts criticizing Donald Trump and conservative Republicans, calling the Tea Party’s behavior “bat-shit-crazy” and mocking Trump’s persona, including an article on her site that ridiculed his penis size in 2016.

    She later shifted her stance dramatically in 2017, becoming a vocal Trump supporter and conservative activist after her failed SocialAutopsy.com project led to backlash and doxing, which she blamed on progressives. From then on, she praised Trump as a “savior” of Western civilization and became a prominent figure in the MAGA movement—until her disavowal of Trump in 2025, when she called him a “chronic disappointment” over his foreign policy decisions, particularly regarding Iran.

    Yes, Megyn Kelly was anti-Trump in the past, particularly during the 2015 and 2016 presidential campaigns. Their relationship became contentious after she moderated a Republican primary debate in August 2015 and questioned Trump about his derogatory comments toward women, asking, “You’ve called women you don’t like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals.” Trump responded aggressively, claiming “there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever,” and launched a prolonged public attack against her.

    Yes, Tucker Carlson was critical of Donald Trump in the past, both privately and publicly, despite later becoming a prominent supporter. As early as 1999, Carlson called Trump “the single most repulsive person on the planet” during a public exchange, and he expressed skepticism about Trump’s political viability during the 2016 Republican primaries, as did many conservative commentators at the time.

    Private text messages revealed in the 2021 Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit showed that Carlson’s disdain for Trump persisted even during his tenure at Fox News. He referred to Trump as a “demonic force” and wrote, “I hate him passionately” in January 2021, two days before the Capitol riot. Despite this, Carlson publicly championed Trumpism and was described as one of its most influential advocates, particularly through Tucker Carlson Tonight. The revelations highlighted a stark contrast between his private views and on-air persona.

    Alex Jones has expressed strong criticism of Donald Trump in multiple instances, most notably in a leaked 2019 video where he said, “I wish I never would have fing met Trump” and declared, “I’m so sick of fing Donald Trump, man. God, I’m f***ing sick of him.” This footage, recorded during the production of a documentary called You Can’t Watch This, was leaked to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch by filmmaker Caolan Robertson and publicly released in March 2021.

  11. A researcher invented a fake eye condition called bixonimania, uploaded two obviously fraudulent papers about it to an academic server, and watched major AI systems present it as real medicine within weeks.
    The fake papers thanked Starfleet Academy, cited funding from the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation and the University of Fellowship of the Ring, and stated mid-paper that the entire thing was made up. Google’s Gemini told users it was caused by blue light. Perplexity cited its prevalence at one in 90,000 people.

    ChatGPT advised users whether their symptoms matched. The fake research was then cited in a peer-reviewed journal that only retracted it after Nature contacted the publisher.

  14. April 15th , tax day. You Bitcoin buddies better make sure you check that box to tell them you have dabbled in them . They know if you have, so don’t lie on your tax forms.

  15. While an Easter truce threatens to break out between Russia and Ukraine, as chance would have it a certain Patrick Gordon was born 391 years ago today in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. He left for the continent and became an Admiral and confidante to Russia’s Tsar Peter the Great. His exploits in the Azov and Ukraine helped secure the regions for Russia 330 years ago. The University of Aberdeen has published Gordon’s diaries in a series of volumes over the course of recent years. They have made Volume 1 and onwards accessible free of charge at following Fulcrum link:

  16. Oh what a beautiful morning… oh what a beautiful day… i’ve got a wonderful feeling, everything’s going my way.
    Anything less than that to begin your Saturdays is just less and less.
    Our life is so full yet there is always room for more.
    Presently dogsitting for a happy Loki, getting miles of walking and sniffing, birds a singing, sun arising, and a MM$ house with a big screen . Haven’t ever had one of those with every attendant programming possible. So much complete crap. Cyclones in the neighborhood but all they are doing is making the weather here gorgeous. Thanks for that, Dude.
    I refuse the popular illusions. Soon the season shifts to make moving North afloat just about perfect. A quick haul to inspect and slick the bottom (going to experiment with some very cool silicon coating that NOTHING sticks to) and then slip away for a few months to places where there are even less people. I want the 80th somewhere anchored, alone, some mud crabs and a nice mackerel ready for a quiet sunset meal.
    Oh what a beautiful day.
    Andy is right.

  17. According to some on here Israel should be allowed to continue attacking Hezbollah and Lebanon because that’s not part of the ceasefire. By that exact logic then , Iran should be able to unrestricted attacks on Israel or any other ally of the US in the region so long as its not specifically the USA.

    I can hardly wait for the excuse making to start from the Goyim here.

  20. George I think the time has come to pull the pin on comments from readers outside the US (like len and me). we offer another perspective that is obviously anathema to your readership. 34 years ago Jack Nicholson uttered 6 explosive words – “You can’t handle the truth!”
    when I’ve posted what I thought were interesting viewpoints from outside the “Trump bubble” I’ve been met with various put downs – TDS or this “winter : total kaka ^ that is. Agenda much? Yep”. It doesn’t hurt me but it does make me realise that I am wasting my time here.
    American Caesar? probably not to most of you………………

    Trump administration unveils gold-accented arch design

    • I think you’re aimed in roughly the right direction, but a little bit off. Bear in mind that it’s been 2 to 3 generations since our Gracchi brothers were assassinated.

      We may have skipped right over our version of Marius and Sulla, and be close to the First Triumvirate. But I don’t see Trump as the divine Julius (“American Caesar”); I think he would fit much closer to M. Licinius Crassus, who was more noted as a politician & businessman than a general.(I didn’t remember him as having any military background, ectually.)

      OTOH one could call the Marius & Sulla “unpleasantness” a civil war, which America has not seen this century.

  22. here is a post to bore the cr….p out of y’all (in Australia we just say you – we understand CONTEXT, being able to differentiate between you plural and you singular without inventing a new word)

    a while back I posted thoughts on a Nostradamus quatrain – offering a less apocalyptic version than England being wiped out by a radioactive tsunami unleashed by a Russian underwater nuke

    • BUT that Great Lisbon Earthquake did END the City of Lisbon, and of Portugal itself, as being THE RICHEST place in the world.

      Lisbon and Portugal never recovered from that destruction that happened to it via the Earthquake, followed by the Tsunami, followed by the City Wide Fire, all of which happened inside a very short time frame of less than a day, less than 12 hours actually.

      Richest city /country in the world to broken and broke in 12 hours. A lesson to all in the future that an entire society’s riches can disappear in a flash, never to be fully regained ever again.

  23. and how about this??

    “Rep. Eric Swalwell’s bid for the California governor’s office was reeling Friday as his campaign was halted on the main Democratic fundraising platform and top Democratic supporters withdrew their endorsements and urged him to drop out of the race in the wake of allegations of sexual misconduct.”

    if he was a Republican NOTHING would have happened… all fake news, nothing to see here……….. Trump would have endorsed him

    collaborators all of you

    seriously George do you want to waste your precious time presiding over this rabble?

  24. Take your DOG for a walk in the sunrise.

    That’s all. He/She will tell you all you need to know about what’s good.

    Sniffs and scratches.
