World has to run a “gauntlet” between now and 2050 as we explained last week. Now, we need to inspect how that choice is laying out in more detail. With the hope that by doing so, we will see where the “muddle-through” might be found. Turns out the pivot-point may be the shelf life and skills required from humans. Dopamine-driven dopes.
We focus, therefore on the declines of pleasure and purpose then explore how that, too, blows up sooner than not if we don’t do something about it.
And it’s here the “threading needle of figure problem” comes into view.
A few headlines to warm the neurons and then the ChartPack for the visual cortex. But then we’re into “the heart stuff” where the purpose of humans in a machine-dominated world begins to glaze over…

Lol lol for some reason I assumed they realized that the year that they turned on every camera and microphone in the usa..
or the year traffic and security cameras were hijacked..
or how about missile guidance chips.. the drone that was hijacked and landed in iran..
when my mini me was three .. he handed a laptop tablet that an old friend in IT had sent me.. he had put it back to factory deleted everything.. my mini me had somehow found the cloud.. the tablet was still recognised as his on the cloud..I had access to everything..his home cameras.. his phones microphone and cameras I had access to his banking and his credit.. tracking..He thought I was screwing with him when I told him..got mad.. I said ok you think im screwing with you so i did.. downloaded bevis and butthead videos changed contacts by switching by editing who they were.. then the photo.. https://i.imgflip.com/5nafte.jpg
he would delete it in a file called photos.. after two weeks I just sent it back saying destroy this.. he called.. what was going on.. I explained and said I thought you got it from the photo of the guy I cropped out..what guy.. I sent him the picture..he says that’s the pervert..what pervert.. this guy keeps running up to my house ringing the doorbell and running away…lol lol the file photos was his ring doorbell..he had the police searching for him..lol lol
on my security cameras I can listen to them and talk to the person in the yard..all saved to the cloud..
there is a plausible reason why we should manufacture in the usa..

yes.. I’m at the crossroads.. house taxes one fourth our yearly income home and car insurance.. you’ve all heard the ranting venting about the life at the bottom rung.
I’m doing ok physically getting by.. health has stabilized sortof.. inflation kicking my ass.. seen what life is like on the other side of the social class.. if someone had told me it was actually like that..I would have said bull shit.. but its true..ten days of the most stress less days..it was amazing..I had a talk with the wife..we should sell out..found out that I’m not the only one being targeted by the people that that last administration allowed to enter.. the management at local retail pharmacy has staff watching for elderly that come in to buy cash cards..they get several every day.. A d the police are just considering this as the new acceptable normal.
society is collapsing in slow motion..the main targets are the poor,weak,and elderly.
I was taught that when a problem arises work the problem. I now am considering attempting a part time PRN position as a home healthcare worker.. the collapsing economy requires it if we decide to stay in our home.. or we sell it out like the neighbor did.. she didn’t make enough to meet the taxes.. Friday I have my interview..can I physically do it? that’s the question.. the wife fears that I could go back into my old way .. trade hours to meet the economic responsibilities..

re: drag, push & tow sale
feat: a salesman from Queens
Step right up, folks, we appear to have another Barnum & Bailey grand prize winner!
Emir Al-Thani of Qatar must be heaving sighs of relief. The burden of his ageing Queen of the Skies $400 million B747 appears transferred upon the shoulders of rubeic cube genii from the USA. This is possibly the greatest used vehicle re-gifting caper the Middle East has seen since the Assyrians introduced the six-spoke wheeled chariot.
Seven years ago when the orphaned jet was valued at $500 million, the then allegedly Iran-aligned Emir of Qatar gifted the jet free of charge to the President of Turkey. It turned out eventually that the Qataris weren’t able even then to give the jet away. Perhaps in 2025 for wet-behind-the-ear tyre kickers they are throwing in a couple of pallets of insecticide to kill all the Persian Gulf bugs that may have taken up residence. Here is a weblink to the 2018 “BBC” report of Qatari/Iranian aero diplomacy:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-45550537
Actually some reports say the value of the jet is really $250 million … but based upon the history of really expensive private jets that are outfitted for Royalty (like the 757 that Trump bought off of Paul Allen for about 10 cents on it’s original dollar) even that reduced price is probably way off.
The real value on the used market for that jet is probably down in the $60 million to at most $100 million range since it can NOT serve in the capacity of being a freighter (internal floors are not strong enough) without extensive modifications, which is what all of those actually “FLYING” 800’s series plane are used for in the real world of commerce (the very last passenger flying 800 series 747 stopped flying passengers last year).
As for the conversion costs and the time it will take to convert. Going to be a LOT faster than Boeing is taking, as long as they don’t use Boeing at the converting entity, and will also be ready to go a LOT faster than the 2 being converted by Boeing. Having a third one in the Presidential fleet wouldn’t be a bad idea … so instead of it going to the Trump Museum after his Presidency I think it should remain in the Presidential Fleet afterwards.
2050? You get there by having a pole shift….

5) Isreal has cedars again.
6) North Africa has rain forest again.

Whiney G:
Whites fleeing oppression under similar circumstances as Blacks?
Only if you ignore facts:
‘However, White people in South Africa are less likely to be murder victims than Black people in South Africa. The group Genocide Watch has said that while South Africa’s population is 8% White, White people make up just 2% of its murder victims.’
The South African government said on May 9 that “The South Africa Police Services statistics on farm related crimes do not support allegations of violent crime targeted at farmers generally or any particular race.”‘
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/05/12/trump-official-greets-white-south-african-refugees/83583160007/
‘In South Africa, the typical Black household owns 5 per cent of the wealth held by the typical White household. In the US, the typical Black household owns 6 per cent of the wealth held by the typical White household. In both countries, a racial wealth gap exists at different levels of education and income. The fact that the racial wealth gap in the US is similar to that of a country that recently emerged from apartheid is a sobering indictment. Conversely, the US presents a grim outlook of the future course of the racial wealth gap in South Africa,’
‘Until 1994, South Africa was controlled by the country’s White minority – many of them descendants of Dutch colonists known as Afrikaners – under the apartheid system of racial segregation, which deprived Black people in South Africa of basic civil rights. White people still own a majority of land and control a hugely outsize share of the country’s wealth’
https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/the-need-for-an-integrated-approach-in-south-africas-land-ownership-deliberations
‘According to a 2017 land audit carried by South Africa’s rural development and land reform department, 39 percent of the nation’s land is owned by individuals while the remainder is owned by private companies, trusts, and the state. The report also found white South Africans own 72 percent of the nation’s individually owned land despite representing less than 10 percent of the total population. Meanwhile, black South Africans own just a mere 15 percent of the land, while the nation’s other ethnic groups own the remaining 13 percent.’

Enjoy your White Victimization fantasy, Musk thanks you for drinking the Kool Aid!
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09538259.2024.2318962#abstract
This MAY be the most convoluted logic for you yet. You start with a bad premise and follow it to your agenda.
No, I didn’t ignore the facts. I merely pointed out the Hipocrisy of Blacks calling Whites immigration “cowards.” To stupid old me? Tjhat5’s RACIST. You didn’t address that.
Our incompetent political manipulation (congress) has transformed America from >80 eprcent White to about 55% now and the trend is NOT reversing. In fact, A reasonable estimate, based on reliable sources, is that approximately 15-20% of immigrants to the U.S. over the past 20 years have been white. This is lower than historical periods when European immigration dominated, reflecting the modern trend toward greater diversity in immigrant origins
Which means (let me help with the math here) 80 percent are POC/nW.
That is the story I was writing (death of genuine work-product-based Equality) and I swear I have no clue why youjumped on this tangent.

The White South Afrakaaners given refugee status for no reason at all!! That’s what’s cowardly!
‘In fact, as white farmers themselves have been pointing out ever since Trump announced his plans to do this, no single white farmer has had land taken away from him, and there is no suggestion that that’s going to change anytime soon.’
https://www.vox.com/politics/413093/trump-south-africa-afrikaner-refugees-apartheid
The White South Afrikaaners are not escaping from famine, displacement, etc, no real refugee status, just do whatever Muck likes, Mr. Trump!
‘It’s not citizens of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where 6.1 million people have been internally displaced due to decades of fighting among armed groups and widespread gender-based violence. The US is not currently accepting more DRC citizens as refugees under President Donald Trump.
It’s not Afghan citizens either, despite the continued human rights violations, especially against women and girls, perpetrated by the Taliban after the US withdrawal from the country in 2021. Instead, the Trump administration is now revoking temporary protections for many Afghans already in America, which could result in their deportation back to Afghanistan.
And it’s not the Sudanese people, of whom nearly 8.6 million have been internally displaced amid a conflict between military and paramilitary forces.
A subset of white South Africans, known as Afrikaners, are the only people Trump has newly admitted to the US as refugees. Trump has described them, without evidence, as victims of a “genocide that’s taking place” and anti-white discrimination, echoing rhetoric that has long circulated on the far right. And he’s sought to punish South Africa for that by cutting off US aid.’
Your complaint is 264 words. Take out my nod to Morgan Freeman – who exemplifies an acting phenomenon – and my whole mention was? 64 words. Now, that’s more than four times what I wrote.
This is why people (who think – I daresay like me) are tired of the liberals trying to talk-over and out-write everyone else. Almost killed CNN (and with good reason!)
I’m going to start thinking of it as “news-faring.” It’s a vowel-smelling mess riding on a high horse.
Small groups of words; then ponder is the ticket. Andy’s refs to King Canute and the Tides. Hear with your heart. It was the Left that called this latest tiny batch of refugees White, wasn’t it? Or, gonna rewrite that part of the story in the second volume of the Epistle to the Racists?
Try to remember I worked in UrbanContemp radio and >50 percent of my friends were non W and (gasp) I was among the White minority in my high school and this was umpteen decades back…We all (*still) get along based on hearts, heads, and hands – the work of our lives. Not by selling gender or speciality or specialness. Or by hijacking law.
Just hard work.

Good summary analysis Len.
“Boeing 747 gift from Qatar to DOD sparks constitutional debate over Air Force One.”
“The Boeing 747 is being given to the United States Air Force/Department of Defense, NOT TO ME!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform in the middle of his visit to Saudi Arabia. “It is a gift from a Nation, Qatar, that we have successfully defended for many years. It will be used by our Government as a temporary Air Force One, until such time as our new Boeings, which are very late on delivery, arrive.”
People who want to destroy our country have no policies and no issues they can use as talking points. Their presentation can be summed up by the statement “Trump = bad,” meaning “We’re going to tell the American people that whatever President Trump says, does, or stands for, is bad.” President Trump says lots of crap (much of it geared toward getting someone or some government to do what he wants) but he stands for common sense things like reshoring our manufacturing, no war, fair trade, tax cuts for the middle class, purging illegal aliens, sealing the border, and lowering the national debt.
Their incredible stupidity, lack of morals and honor, and insatiable lust for power at any cost has forced the people who want to destroy our country (Leftists and other socialists like communists fascists, Nazis, and Democrats) to support continued offshoring of our manufacturing, wars, unfair and unbalanced trade, tax increases, keeping every illegal alien, opening the border, spending 96 trillion dollars to scare the climate into never changing, and lying about both Trump’s intents and his results.
94% of Germans had no idea the NAZIs purged and executed Jews or “intelligentsia,” or even cripples, until after WW-II ended and generals like Patton forced the locals to dig the graves for those executed in the camps. That 94% number is probably typical of any group, in any situation.
They had no idea because they got their news from the Reich.
The mainstream media is not going to tell the truth about anything the Trump Administration says, does, or accomplishes, unless they can spin it into something negative. Y’all can choose to do as you wish. I choose to not be in that 94% who’re “ostriching” their way through life…
Well said Ray but I have learned – a bee does not spend a lot of time trying to convince a fly that honey is better than shit.
Oh, I know. Unless someone wants to actually debate, I will do one followup, then shut up.
Unless the person claiming to want to debate is a troll.
Trolls always get ignored. When you feed them, they stay around and continue trolling.
Sorry Ray … you comment about Germany (copied below) is PURE Propaganda
‘94% of Germans had no idea the NAZIs purged and executed Jews or “intelligentsia,” or even cripples, until after WW-II ended ”
Everyday Germans didn’t notice the Jewish families in their apartment buildings being picked up from their apartments and placed into vans and trucks by the German authorities while their furniture remained in that apartment for awhile?
Everyday Germans didn’t hear the stories from their family members or drinking buddies who worked for the railroads about those Jews being put onto trains and shipped out to their towns and cities … in FREIGHT cars versus versus passenger cars?
Everyday Germans, except for the exceptionally dumb ones KNEW that their Jewish neighbors were being shipped out … and NONE ever came back. INTENTIONAL Ignorance … is the best that those Germans could claim after the war, but that is pure bullshit and everybody knew it then and should know it today. There is NO WAY 94% of German didn’t know what was going on. All of Germany knew what was going on, they just didn’t talk about it publicly, … and many if not most approved.
I would assume they noticed…
THEN they turned the radio on and fired up “Goebbels Radio,” which explained the missing were “on assignment for the Glory of the Reich,” and anything they heard to the contrary was a vicious lie, told by some Brit or American propagandist, to foster unrest and uncertainty. There wasn’t even much of this, until about 1944, because the Reich had its Stateside propagandists and apologists like the NYT and WaPo, and (until 1938) the FDR Administration and the NAZI social clubs on most college campuses. (What? You thought Soros or the ChiComs came up with that idea? Not quite…)
As I have mentioned several times, fascism is the most-attractive form of government — until it isn’t. Hitler came to power after virtually the entire population of Germany had starved and frozen, nearly to death, continuously for 15 years. Ol’ Adolf turned things around, put people to work, and paid them in Reichsmarks, instead of the worthless German Mark. In less than three years, the vast majority of Germans were healthy, happy, had full bellies and positive cash flow in their bank accounts.
In their place, would you believe some Jewish expat hack with a microphone, in London, with a pirate radio, or the guy who singlehandedly restored your self-worth and standard of living?
Work camps – not death camps – Germans far too efficient for senseless slaughter like israHELL
