Another Look at the Facts

Former Pres. Trump said that the world was safer when he was in office. Guess what? It’s true. It’s a fact. There were very few skirmishes worldwide and what few there were, he quickly put a stop to them.

Let’s face it that Russia and Iran didn’t have enough money to launch wars. The price of oil was so low that Russia couldn’t make a profit from it. Iran couldn’t sell any because Trump prevented it.

On the other hand, the first thing Old Joe did was drive the price of oil from 30 to 100 dollars a barrel. That helped Russia and Iran. But that wasn’t the half of it. Old Joe started sending cash into Iran on pallets. Two bad ideas. Two vary bad results. Now we have wars and rumors of war. And, by the way, people are dying, just in case you didn’t notice.

Did you ever notice the dems showing any evidence of caring. Nope. Not going to happen.

Those are the undeniable facts.

Brief explanation. I originally intended this to be about one fact. As you can guess, I changed that but not completely. It’s the reason I make a lot of my mistakes. I start out to say one thing and then do something else. I wish I would learn to make my corrections complete.

Speculations, Theories and Facts/Laws

A speculation is a thought without any proof or anything solid to back it up. I do a lot of speculating and, in general, I try to say ahead of time that it is only a speculation.

A theory is starts out as a speculation but has some proof to back it up. Evolution is a theory and in my book, a weak one. It’s sole proof is that there is much similarity from one species to another. However; it cannot be stated as fact because there is no real proof. No one has ever found the “missing link” of one species being transformed to another. Darwin spent his life looking for the link as have many men since. The fact that, in dozens of years of finding none, sort of makes me speculate that the theory is all wet. Regardless, though they call it theory, they teach it as fact in school. That takes no speculation in saying that is wrong.

If, in fact, someone finds an animal that is half one species and half another species, it would prove the theory of evolution and I’ll have to eat my words and admit evolution as fact. As I said, they have been looking a long time and haven’t found one yet. I don’t think they will.

However, there are some theories that have gone on to be proven facts, at least in part. No one doubts the law of gravity. No one has ever came up with an exception to the laws of motion by Newton. In magnetism, differing poles always attract and same poles always repel. For sure, machines, great and small have been built based on those laws. Despite my observations, Murphy’s law is not always true. Therefore, it is not truly a law. It’s not truly a theory as it has so many exceptions.

I don’t know who exactly it is that first suggested the idea of the replacement theory, but it did spread very rapidly. They suggested that President Trump was afraid of it in that they said he was afraid that the people the US would no longer be majority white.

I had to take a couple of looks at this one. Regardless, theory or not, it seems to have worked. Moreover, it has even been admitted by some dems to be the motive behind letting the gates of the border open. The truth and the fact is that there are now well over 10 million people in this country who are not American. I would guess more like 15 million. Moreover, many are brown rather than white. Many are Asian. The theory has worked, though I really believe it is the dems who were the first to think of it.

A little word for those who have Black skin. You used to be about 13 percent of the population. Now it is going to be a little less. The math is a little too complex for me, but I’d guess, between bringing in illegal aliens and the encouragement of abortion, primarily for African-Americans, that 13 percent is more like 12 or even 11 percent. The idea was not mine. I was against it. I’m just the observer. If I had the power to stop it, I would. Every time I try, people say ugly things at me.

And so it is, another theory has become fact. So let’s refer to it properly, the replacement law. It will work every time.

Could It Be the Dems Were Right

All the time Pres. Trump was building walls, the dems kept saying that fences don’t work. It would seem the dems are right. They had two fences around their convention and guess what? The rioters broke through it and assaulted Walz.

So, what do they do? Build a third fence, of course. For real.

No Surprise Here

Kamala’s official response to a debate on FOX News. “No.”

I can just imagine, utter fear of having to go on a slightly conservative network and having to reply to real questions.

Definitely, no surprise here. What would have surprised us is if she agreed to it and then showed up.

So much for Kamala being courageous. By the way, courage is one of the primary traits of a good leader, like Trump when he was shot.

Then and Now

I heard segments of a newsperson’s interviews. One time, months ago when they were in the process of pushing Old Joe out of office. Again, the other day, the same question was asked. I’m not even going to go through it in detail. It doesn’t matter. However, the first time, the woman interviewed complained of having a hard time paying for groceries and she would not vote for Old Joe. The second time, yes she would vote for Kamala, why: because she’s a woman. She thought that would be awesome.

You want to vote for the dems. Fine. You have the right. I might try to talk you out of it but I will not stand in your way. Indeed, I will fight for your right to vote for who you want. However, please, please, don’t vote for Kamala because she is a woman. Don’t vote for her because she is black. If you do, you will be defiling your vote. People fought and died for you to have that right. How horrible to belittle it. Please think it over. Whoever you vote for, try to think of a reason, real reason. If you can’t come up with a real reason, maybe it is time to rethink who you are voting for.

Possible Backfire

Many, if not most know the reason the dems are permitting all the illegal aliens in across the border is so that they will get many more dem voters. However, many of them are coming from communist countries and know the dangers of a socialist system. They just might vote Republican instead.

EV With 450 Mile Range

I noticed an announcement of a car that has 450 mile range. That is very significant. In theory, a person would be able to drive 900 miles. That means driving coast to coast in three days, almost. That is certainly something I could live with. If I were still working, it would allow me to drive 200 miles each way to work; or, more likely, 100 miles each way to work for two days. That would be plenty for most of us. If work is just 40 miles away, as it was for me, we can drive the entire work week without one recharge. It might even make it through the weekend too.

So what is the EV, a Cadillac. The price, $125 K. The chances of me being able to afford one, 0. Actually, less than 0. I was barely able to afford the 40K for the Nissan I have. However, I am sure my insurance agent would like it if I bought it. I am sure his share of the insurance payment would be very significant.

Still, maybe one day I will rent one, just to see what it’s like.

While I am on the subject of EVs, I don’t really think that anyone really likes the idea as they would like us to think. If there was really a push on it, there would be an all out effort to get the charger stations out there. There should be one charger station, minimum, every 40 miles along the interstates. I don’t see that yet. I don’t even see any effort for it.

Moreover, some standardization needs to be made. I have mentioned this before, but every station should be able to serve as a level II charging station. That would charge my car from 10% to 80% in about 5 hours. Not ideal, true. However, it might keep us from getting stranded. I might be tempted to drive a little more.

Finally, on another front, one battery builder has released that they are working on 20 year batteries. This is very significant as very few would keep their car more than 10 years. If nothing else, it would increase the trade in value of the car.

Most people are not aware as to what determines battery life. Let me explain it this way. My car, new has a range of about 210 miles. When it drops down to a little over 140 miles, then they consider it time to replace the battery. However, in general, you can continue to use the same batteries. It just is that it gets less and less convenient. (my batteries are warranted for 10 years or 70 K miles. If I can’t get 140 miles out of my car with just 50 K miles, then they have to replace the batteries. First, I don’t guess that happens much. Second, I likely won’t know it. I only have 3K miles after one year. As I said, I’m retired. I don’t drive much. The main reason I got the car. At 76, I don’t think I will be driving another 10 years and I certainly am not going to put 70K miles on the car.

Just Saw Something Most Festinating.

Two young men in a forested area clearing sat about building a small underground house. All they had were a few crude tools and the materials in the surrounding area. It was not but one room but it was built quickly. I can’t say how long it took, but I’d guess less than a week. With a few power tools, it might take a couple of days.

Mostly the house was just dug out of the ground and had a table and seats for eating as well as a bed big enough for the two of them. There was also a small pool to bathe in. The roof and part of the walls were built from a skeleton of wood poles and covered with straw enforced mud. Then that was covered by grass sod. It had a stove on which they fixed a meal of meat, rice and vegetables. Side note, the stove could easily be outside.

Okay. Such an environment isn’t a five star hotel, but it was inexpensive. With a $5000 lot in the right location just might make something you can survive in. Beats having to live in a shelter.

To be sure, if you build such a thing, you do need to stay inside the law and outside flood areas. Even so, should such a home flood, you haven’t lost that much. Moreover, it can be added to and reinforced as time and money permits.

So, instead of building things like this, we Americans have our hands out for a handout.

A List of Things Better Than Pizza

Give me a minute. I’ll think of something. Some might say steak is better, but would they really mean it. I mean steak is steak. Pizza has some of this, some of that. It doesn’t have one flavor but half a dozen or more.

I am sure there are many things better than pizza. Take for instance spaghetti. I have always liked that. When I was a kid, I had problems pronouncing it so I called it basketi. Still, when I discovered pizza, spaghetti had to drop to second or third place.

So, give me a little time; a year or two, maybe four. I am sure I will be able to build a list. In the meantime, I will be eating a lot of pizza. Incidentally, corn dogs are pretty good too. I still think pizzas are better.

It’s difficult to beat all those wonderful flavors in one place. Besides, we are talking a variety of pizzas. There is pepperoni, sausage, ham, taco, and yes, hamburger. I am sure I left a few out. Oh yes, just plain cheese. Oddly, I know a few folks who like that way too.
