Sunshine & Rainbows

(Sunshine & Rainbows)

One can start today with a possible "Clash of the Titans," a cage match between Meta/Facebook's Mark Zuckerburg, and Tesla/Twitter's Elon Musk. If it gets held inside the Flavian Amphitheater, or the Colosseum in Rome, at would surely be a pay-per-view event. It would be a media spectacle and could raise millions for charity.


So, while there may be blood on the Colosseum floor for the first-time since gladiators faced each other in combat, odds being taken on who will prevail, and the world will be made whole. The whole thing is a gimmick. Gimmicks are that around today. The Biden Administration has been a collection of gimmicks. The latest one is what is being called "Sunlight Modification Program."


The theory is that blocking sunlight would assist in combating climate change. A series of aerosols would be introduced into the atmosphere that would cool the planet. If the story sounds familiar, it is the plot to Snowpiercer. Facing a similar "crisis," global leadership opted to seed the air with a certain chemical. Global warming was indeed corrected. The planet froze and what was left of humanity was placed on a train, the "Snowpiercer," that travelled around the world.


Fortunately, the SMP is only a study but it is indicative that the President and those that are agreeing with the concept are as clueless as ever. These global elites need to seem that theirs' is an active pursuit and such concepts, as far-fetched is they are. The general public is becoming less willing to be adherents to these programs. Biden's EV push is not popular as the preference remains with gas powered cars.


Public preference, however, has never been a priority. So say the SMP gets executed and the world freezes like in the movie. Bear in mind that those elites would be passengers on that train.

Siege Of The Alamo

(Siege Of The Alamo) Any visitor to Downtown San Antonio will recognize the City's most famous landmark, the Alamo. An old Spanish mission that means "Cottonwood" in English was the site where the likes of Jim Bowie, William Barrett Travis and Davy Crockett and about another 185 Texians defended the Mission and its compound for thirteen days against the Army of General Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana and his 5,000 troops. The garrison was finally reduced on March 6, 1836. However, the Texian defeat at the Alamo and another one at Goliad, bought time for General Sam Houston time to fall back and then face Santa Ana at San Jacinto. There, Houston's army surprised the Mexicans and yelling "Remember the Alamo, Remember Goliad !" all but wiped out the Mexican force. Santa Ana was captured and was forced to recognize the Republic of Texas. Which is now the State of Texas and, like 1836 Texas War of Independence, there is a new invasion from Mexico. Not the armed body o

TEQUILA !

(TEQUILA !) Happy Cinco de Mayo or May 5th. One can hope that a lot of you out there are awash in inebriation, seeking to mainline tequila shots or enjoying a nice margarita on the patio. Or, in other words, relax. Take a breath. De-compress. May 5th as it happens is the anniversary of Mexico's victory over French "occupation" of Mexico by Emperor Maximillian, brother to Austrian monarch Maria Theresa in what has been called the Battle of Puebla. The reason France was in Mexico in the first place was that Mexico, after the Mexican-American War and a more civil conflict called the Reform War, had bankrupted Mexico City. Mexican President at the time was Benito Juarez, who repudiated all foreign debt, of which France, Spain, and the United Kingdom were all major holders. A naval expedition was dispatched to Veracruz and France's Napoleon III thought it would be a good idea to establish a French "empire" in Mexico. But, on May 5th, 1862, in the aforementioned B

Intended Consequences

(Intended Consequences) For those Readers who live in the Tri-State area, who had the earthquake this morning, just be still.  There is a postulate called the Law of Un-Intended Consequences. Basically, it says that even with the best intentions, negative results sometimes happen. However, there are also instances when a negative result is precisely the desired outcome. Like with the Israel- Hamas war where the Biden Administration continues to press for an all but unilateral ceasefire on the part of Israel. In California, the new $20/HR minimum wage is wreaking havoc on the fast food industry. And finally, after depleting the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, oil has now become too expensive. How many times must the Biden Administration think it can influence Israeli affairs ? How many times must Israel ignore it. Threats from the President have become redundant at this point but is Biden really prepared to cut Israel loose ? In the middle of the greatest crisis Israel is facing since the
