“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.” Albert Einstein. I bargained with my grief and came to terms with it yesterday in a small way.Continue reading “Stage Three”

Stage Two
Maybe this is going to go a little quicker than I thought a couple hours ago. My wife had a talk with me and said many people are crying. I have not been able to bring myself to watch any news, but they know what I know. And now I am thinking about the two-digitContinue reading “Stage Two”
Stage One
The initial shock is wearing off. I am now entering that first stage of grief….denial. I am fated to watch America die over the next few years. It was obvious to me in the run up to the election if we lost, we would lose everything…. irretrievably. After nearly a quarter of a millennium, theContinue reading “Stage One”
The Saddest Day
What now? This is the end of America. What is left? They used our freedom to remove freedom. France had the allies to save them…we have nothing. We have destroyed ourselves.
Election Day 2024
Up at five after about six hours of sleep. Here we go. Not a great feeling about today. I hope it is my old ready crew thing messing with me (when I stood duty as a helicopter aircrewman I would get these bad feelings).

And Taft was profoundly uncomfortable with this…heContinue reading “Space and now the Storm”
The True Prophet of Space
O’Neill was the true prophet, and Musk is the antichrist.
We Have More People
Some good news: 6 percent of American adults support the use of force to restore Trump to the presidency. 8 percent of American adults support the use of force to prevent Trump from becoming president. 6 percent is a little over 15 million. 8 percent is a little over 20 million. While the right isContinue reading “We Have More People”
Do You Believe?
The Kamala Harris speech was rousing…and took me back to a significant event in my life some years ago. She concluded with, “Do we believe in the promise of America…and are we ready to fight for it? And when we fight, we win! God bless you and God bless the United States of America.” IContinue reading “Do You Believe?”
250 Million are NOT Garbage?
250 million Americans just happen to be….white. I just heard him say it. Loud and clear. His white supremacist AR-15 army could not get a clearer message. Steve Bannon saying everyone should be willing to go to federal prison…and now I am really getting worried. Garbage trucks are perfect for mass burials of dead bodies.
