Trump, Taft, Truman
In terms of parallel logic, Trump should have renamed Lake Ontario to Lake New York, not Lake America. It isn’t called Lake Canada! The parallel is deeper than logic. Populism means localism above all. Real populists are loyal to their own place first, then secondarily to nations and not at all to planets. A real…

Counterexample reprint
Trump is playing the rename game again, Lake Ontario to Lake America. I wrote about a similar move last year when he tried to rename Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. The counterexample I used is even more relevant to this week’s Canada rename! The big point is ALWAYS the same. Psychopaths are predictably…

More Polymarket bets
Via Spokane News, a new arsonist. He was downtown near the interstate, a traditional homeless area but not close to the Catholic Criminalities apts. Kudos to the cops and the witness for catching him fast. No kudos to the crime-aiding “judge” who will release him after a few hours. (That’s a sure thing, no bets…

Throwing the gAIme
Betting touts and tip sheets are an ancient form of corruption. Bets on pope elections in the 1500s featured fake tips. Sports betting and the stock market are always packed with fake info, paid to change the odds so the payer can win bigger. So it’s no surprise that Polymarket and Kalshi are using AI…

Out of the box
Following on the self-pecking Skinner box. Real humans, especially da yoots, are seriously trying to escape from the Skinner box. Deepstate has provided handy fake “outside” routes like Bitcoin, Qchan and Bluesky, specifically designed to cultivate “freedom fighters” without leaving the web. The outsiders can only succeed if they work entirely outside all electronic channels.…

A spoonful of music, reprint
Rehashing from last year. Miss Girard was doing the RIGHT kind of teaching, and I didn’t appreciate it when I was young. = = = = = START REHASH: Something reminded me of La Cucaracha, so I started singing it the way Miss Girard taught it in 6th grade. La cucaracha, la cucaracha, ya no…

It’s just Parkinson
Carefully planned arson seems to have halted after the big fire paid off the bet on Farinacci, but we still have the usual intentional fires from homeless vagrants. And the demonic “city” continues to catch and release so the criminals can continue ruining the world. The motivations of the criminals are mixed. Some are crazy,…

From Ayer to AI
Many people are noticing a huge shift in web traffic this year. I’ve noticed it in my blog stats. Nearly all of the web’s bandwidth, sending and receiving, is occupied by AI criminals now. Bot READS are as old as publishing, but this is the first time that bots have been the ONLY readers and…

Plutonism vs Platonism
20 years ago the platonists kicked Pluto out of the planetary pantheon. They’re still defending the ruinous decision, still oblivious to the need for trust and communication. = = = = = START ASSHOLE: For people who absorbed that version of the solar system as children, the 2006 decision required replacing something that had been…

The answer is work, rehashed
The Spokesman newspaper has a strong and fair article on the homeless crime perpetrated by government and Catholic Criminalities. They look at all sides, especially normal businesses and normal people who are terrorized and ruined by the mess. Of course the “mayor” doesn’t see any problem. She is firmly pro-crime and pro-chaos. She only sees…

Curses, foiled again
Finally some blessed RAIN. A narrowband storm ran directly through the fire-blasted quarter of town. This will halt the Polymarket-driven arsonists. They can plant their firebombs but they won’t have much effect, so I’m sure their banker bosses will find another way to keep them busy. Earlier this system gave broadband coverage to the northern…

Cetaphil works.
Last year’s eczema gradually went away as the weather got cooler. It stayed away until this week, when my arms suddenly started bumping and itching again. Probably caused by a pileup of stresses (annual doctor appt followed the next day by the arson evacuations.) Last year I didn’t know what was happening or what to…

Happy 100th, KCRC!
Speaking of radio log books and such, KCRC in Enid is celebrating their centennial. I remember when they celebrated their 50th! For many years KCRC was the first station in log book alphabetical listings. They didn’t try for the honor, just outlasted some stations with lower letters. CRC stood for Champlin Refining Co. The other…

Duane’s laws
Duane Jones, the father of radio advertising, would appreciate this 1936 RCA booklet. Dealers mailed it out to local farmers. It’s a proper almanac with sunrises, moon phases, zodiac, etc. The pages are interspersed with ads for RCA farm radios. Major radio companies had special low-voltage models for farms, often designed to run off the…
