It seems there has been an explosion of conspiracy theories lately.

Do you suppose it is because there has been an explosion of true conspiracies and conspiracists?

Ah, the classic dance of denial—where secrets shimmy just beneath the surface, winking at everyone while pretending to be invisible. They’re like that awkward relative at a family reunion: everyone knows they’re there, but no one wants to make direct eye contact. The powers-that-be perform their elaborate charade of “nothing to see here,” complete with theatrical hand waves and unconvincing poker faces. Meanwhile, the rest of us exchange knowing glances, silently acknowledging the elephant—no, make that the entire circus—in the room.

Conspiracy are my jam, and while I’m certain these shadowy figures exist, I’m more intrigued by their debut performance. My money’s on the JFK era – the ultimate government magic show where evidence vanishes faster than a rabbit in a top hat, courtesy of a vault with more leaks than a gossip column.

Sounds like a conspiracy to me.

In a twisted tale of vanishing clues and untimely demises, evidence plays a game of hide-and-seek while unfortunate souls bow out with a dramatic flair, leaving behind more questions than a cryptic crossword puzzle. Ergo, as the old poet might say, it would seem many of the magic tricks seem to be accompanied by a dead body. This, as opposed to a live one.

(the JFK event was accompanied with at least 4, maybe more)

It was inevitable. For decades, public TV had to lose public funding. When it is considered how liberal and one-sided it was for many decades, it had to happen. It was just a simple matter of when the proper people became in charge.

Now PBS must survive or fail in the capitalist system as the rest of the stations.

As for me, I believe it is about time. Why should they get a free ride when the rest must swim or drown? If folks decide not to view their constant untruths, to put it kindly, then it will be time for them to fade forever into obscurity.

Moreover, maybe it is time the so-called news broadcasters tell the truth or face it. The fact is, in order to survive in the capitalist system, a person, an organization or a corporation must produce something in demand. That doesn’t include lies and propaganda.

What can I say? If God wants it to rain in one small spot, I just get the phone out and record it. I am not going to make any attempt to explain it. I suspect the mettioroligists don’t have any explanation either, especially being as the rest of the sky was mostly clear.

That is a bunch. There aren’t but a little over a million in the major metro area. Moreover, not all of the residents have cars.I did have my problems with algebra, but I’m guessing that is about a tenth.

Before I come to too many conclusions there are a few things that can knock things out of kilter, it still sort of looks to be an exodus to me, perhaps over 3 or 4 years.

The people holding public office as well as those supposedly reporting the news seem to look at the undeniable facts and they seemed stunned. But why should they be? They keep voting for Democrats, who keeps making really dumb decisions. Why in the world would they expect anything else?

Speaking of dumb things, the state has been getting Ready for a check of the books for the county Board of Education. I watched that go back and forth for quite a while. For some strange reason, the county didn’t want to open the books.

Then, surprise, surprise, they are now rumors of rumors about a few in in the county just may visit the local incarceration facilities. Now I wonder what would bring that about? It’s no wonder no one waited to open the books.

As I Said, when I left Memphis, I didn’t move nearly fa enough South.

Well, at least every time those north, of my little home,, my property value keeps climbing.

Now, if they would just leave their politics and their deriving skills north as they try to move in…. Down here and down the street.

The Supreme Court appears to be rendering favorable decisions for the President, potentially signaling a consistent trend that could neutralize attempts to impede administrative progress through Democrats’ judicial intervention..

Exposing their misconduct will undoubtedly challenge the integrity of those in judicial positions, potentially revealing inappropriate actions hidden behind the facade of legal authority.

However, I guess we are all waiting, figuratively, with bated breath for the one decision the Court seems to be trying to avoid: birthright citizenship. I have two suspicions about this matter. First, they might put it off as long as they can. Second, they will most certainly look for a believable way to avoid the decision through some method of side-stepping. Regardless, I hold out little hope. I suspect they will write that they wanted to decide one way but felt obligated to decide the other.

This will for sure result in a bunch of new anchor babies.

Heard a prominent Dem say something to the effect that there is nothing worse than an outbreak of of war with Iran.

Couldn’t believe the stupidity of the statement. I suspect that he hoped the statement would go on unnoticed. Then again, there are those ignorant enough to believe it.

The war would not be but a fraction of the danger of an Iran with with nuclear weapons. Besides, Iran, as it is today has little power to conduct a war with all but the smallest country.

Literally, Iran isn’t much of a threat to anyone but themselves. They have no defense and hardly any offence. Moreover, if they try to use the little they have, they stand to lose even that.

It has been said that Trump just started WWIII to which I reply, consider the reality. How many casualties and how much distruction has been suffered by the opposing sides? The leaders of Iran may yet try to cause Israel & US harm but considering how one sided it has been so far, they are not likely to have any success.

Besides, I think most will agree with me, if Hitler had been stopped a couple of years earlier, there would not have been a WWII. Consider the lives that would have saved.

Even if Japan had still attacked Pearl Harbor, the US could have turned all our attention away from Germany to Tojo. The Japanese would have fallen much faster. That too would have saved lives.

That being said, I suspect Japan would have likely reconsidered. Moreover, we likely wouldn’t have had a reason to build or deliver the A-bombs. beyond that, most of our speculations would lack any accuracy.

I haven’t followed it all that close but the Israelis keep flying sorties into Iran and, last I heard, all planes and pilots have returned.

Now I don’t have an accurate idea of how many missions they have flown but if I said a hundred thousand, I suspect I’d get few arguments. It might even be more.

Now if I were a military leader and my opponent was beating me a hundred thousand to one, I’d guess I was doing something wrong. However, the Iranian leaders aren’t even that well, last I heard. I think It’s a hundred thousand to zero.

The only way it could get worse for Iran is if more pilots and planes returned than went out.

It would seem to me the Iran leaders are doing the equivalent of beating their heads against the wall. Do you think they will ever figure it out before their wall crumbles. Don’t think they will damage their hard heads. That would be filed in the impossible department, or at least highly improbable.

In the by the way department, Putin should be taking note. After all, Israel uses American planes and Iran is using Russian defense equipment.
