Watching Deadpool & Wolverine on Disney+

Yep, totally agree.

There's a monkey missing!

Still watching "Hot Zone", and US officials did the same thing Chinese officials did (when COVID first appeared) when the first cases of Ebola came to the US.

Can't cause a panic, so don't even tell people possibly affected what is going on.

Watching "Hot Zone", a National Geographic dramatization of the history of the last Ebola outbreak, and it's making me paranoid.

One thing I did not know, we first found out about the outbreak when 6 monkeys died in DC, and we tracked it back to Africa.

Does that make you paranoid? Ebola Zaire (90% fatality rate), spreads through bodily fluids. No cure, no effective treatment.

Yes, today is veterans day.

To all who served, we the people of CoSo thank you for your service to our democratic republic.

In Dearborn, where nearly half of the 110,000 residents are of Arab descent, Vice President Kamala Harris received over 2,500 fewer votes than Trump, who became the first Republican presidential candidate since former President George W. Bush in 2000 to win the city. Harris also lost neighboring Dearborn Heights to Trump, who in his previous term as president banned travel from several mostly-Muslim countries.

US House Update:

Looking at the results as they are coming in, Republicans will will most likely control the House. They will, however, have a slim majority and will not be able to afford many defections.

That's the best news I can give you in a brief update.

Winter NAMM 2025 is January 21-25 in Carlsbad, CA.

Talk about politics crapping on us right before a time of joy.

I feel like an idiot looking for houses in US Virgin Islands or Guam just hoping to get away from politics.

This may have been to easy for folks 50 and over lol

WSJ: Trump Team Proposes 20-Year Freeze on Ukraine’s NATO Bid in Exchange for Peace

---

Hmmm? Ukraine had pledged not to join NATO and NATO said Ukraine could not join NATO before both invasions. How did that work out?

October 9

The thing we all missed (because we know how things work):

The current 52% of voters rating the economy as an “extremely important” influence on their vote for president is the highest since October 2008 during the Great Recession, when 55% of voters said the same. In polls conducted closest to the election in other presidential election years since 1996.

@Alfred How often does Donald Trump lie?

Reporter: "Can the President demote or remove you or any of the governors of the FOMC"

J Powell: Not permitted under the law.

Note: If Trump and a Republican Congress try to change this, expect bond rates to soar.

Trump will enter office with a strong economy and things like beef prices--if nothing else changes--falling within a couple years,

But remember, he's incompetent and can screw all that up. Massive tax cuts, for example, could lead to soaring bond rates, tariffs could depress many market segments, He is not very popular despite the election outcome, so it won't take much to turn people against him.

Fact: So far it seems about 12 million less Democratic-leaning voters stayed home.

But... it also seems about 4 million Republican voters stayed home.

Democratic Party infighting determined to miss the point that inflation in 2023 cost them in this election.

Why? Because there's nothing they could have done about inflation that would have made things better.

So some fighting and finger-pointing.

Prediction: In a couple years or so beef prices will possibly fall due to herd size increases post-drought if something isn't done to screw up things.

And whoever is President if that happens as it should if nothing else changes, will get the credit.

It's stupid, so it will happen probably.
