Thoughts On A Sunday

I didn’t get to taking care of my usual Saturday post, it being a busy day yesterday...and quite frankly I nodded off for a few hours in the late afternoon/early evening and found I was really dragging, so I didn’t get to it.

Some of it might be attributed to my very busy and lengthy day on Friday which included dinner at BeezleBub’s followed by the Rod Stewart concert at Meadowbrook that evening. (The opening act was Cheap Trick.) It was an awesome concert and Rod looked fantastic for performer in his 80’s. I was up early yesterday morning and was pretty much busy all morning and afternoon. It was not like one of my usual summer weekends.

The weather this weekend has been less than optimal, being cloudy and cool Saturday and the same this morning. However, the sun did make its appearance this afternoon and it actually reached 80º. Monday is going to bring us heavy thundershowers, particularly in the afternoon. Then we’ll be back in the heat with temps in the 90’s and high humidity...again.

I have to wonder how those with student loans feel about starting to make payments again? How about those who will see the Feddle Gummint coming after them for defaulting on the loan payments they hadn’t made prior to those payments being suspended by the Department of Education in 2020 “due to Covid”?

I have to wonder if the latter were hoping they wouldn’t have to pay back their loans in light of Biden’s unconstitutional loan forgiveness move? Heck, it shouldn’t be a surprise that even those who haven’t defaulted feel the same way.

I’ve been listening to the debate between those who believe student loans should be forgiven and those who don’t. Despite what the first group wants, those loans do have to be repaid but they will be repaid by the American taxpayers. That’s you and me, boys and girls. It’s ironic that some of those loans paid for useless college degrees that qualified the recipients to be baristas at Starbucks, bartenders, Uber or Lyft or DoorDash drivers, convenience store clerks, or wait staff and those who took the loans owe as much as some people owe on their mortgages. It’s equally ironic that those holding those degrees could have worked those same jobs without a degree and without the 6-digit loan debt that went that degree. They also would have had 4 years more earnings if they hadn’t wasted those four years studying for their useless degree.

I have to lay some of the blame for this on the colleges and universities that created many of the useless courses of study as so many of them saw the oceans of cash made available by the student loan programs and wanted some of it.

Umm...really?

It appears that Israel had supernatural help overcoming Iran’s defenses which allowed it to prevail in its recent 12-day war with Iran as well as the success with the US taking out Iran’s nuclear facilities, at least according one senior Iranian official. That help?

Jinn. (Link may be paywalled.)

How did Israel, a country of fewer than ten million people, prevail in the recent twelve-day war over the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has nine times more people and thirty times more land than Israel? A senior Iranian official, Abdollah Ganji, who formerly headed a daily newspaper, Jovan, that was a primary mouthpiece of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), is convinced that it wasn’t simply a story of Israel’s having a superior strategy, better weaponry, and help from the U.S., with its bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities. Ganji contends that the Israeli secret weapon had supernatural help, and not the good kind.

Iran International reported Friday on what Ganji called “a strange phenomenon.” Ganji claimed that “after the recent war, several pieces of paper were found on the streets of Tehran containing talismans with Jewish symbols." Uh-oh. And as if that weren’t enough, he added: "A few years ago, the Supreme Leader said that hostile countries and Western and Hebrew intelligence services use occult sciences and jinn beings for espionage."

Indeed he did. Back in March 2020, the Ayatollah Khamenei told his countrymen in a televised address that the Islamic Republic was facing “enemies from among both jinn and human beings.” This apparently inspired a good deal of ridicule, as Iran International notes that “the quote was later removed from some official transcripts.”

Another prominent Iranian ayatollah, Hojatoleslam Mehdi Karami, said in Oct. 2024: “Given the Zionists’ history of controlling jinn, many of their missions are carried out through them.”

So we’ve been wasting hundreds of billions of dollars on defense spending when we could have been using the jinn, aka genies, to defend ourselves?

Yeah. Right.

This doesn’t surprise me in the least.

I’ve been hearing the stories about the problems that are occurring for those wishing to rebuild their homes in the Pacific Palisades and Eaton areas of Los Angeles that were devastated by the fires that destroyed thousands of homes an businesses. Permitting is taking a long time and can cost $20,000 or more, a cost that isn’t always covered by insurance. Insurance payouts have been iffy as so many homeowners lost their insurance prior to the fires. But don’t worry, Governor Newsom has the answer!

Slums! Or as I saw it written in the linked post “Gentrification in reverse.”

Six months after the devastating Palisades and Eaton fires, California Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled $101 million in funding Tuesday for “multifamily low-income housing development” that will “contribute to a more equitable and resilient Los Angeles.” The priority is for “geographic proximity to the fire perimeters of the Eaton, Hughes, and Palisades fires.”

--snip--

California state law and a local Los Angeles ordinance require fire-destroyed rent-protected housing — which includes all apartments in the city built before October 1978 — be replaced with low-income housing. Because the affordability requirements use county-level income data, not more local incomes, definitions for “low” and “very low” income housing reflect much lower incomes than the norm for the affluent Palisades community.

--snip--

What a beautiful locale to build an equitable slum at public expense.

To qualify as Supportive Housing Multifamily Housing, a project must provide at least 40% of its units for the homeless, or individuals who have spent at least 15 days in “jails, hospitals, prisons, and institutes of mental disease.”

So by using county level income data rather than neighborhood level income data, California taxpayers will be on the hook to build low income housing in areas that used to have million and multimillion dollar homes. Does this mean that some of the former homeowners will be lucky to lose only a portion of the value of their homes rather than all of it?

As the article states, does this mean “California has succumbed to the Democrat Death Spiral”? It certainly seems so as government at the state and city levels appear to have been doing everything they can to make sure California becomes unaffordable and unlivable.

Better late then never.

It appears the UK newspaper The Telegraph has discovered that wind farms don’t work when the wind doesn’t blow.

This is something Germany discovered both during heat waves and cold spells when there wasn’t much wind that wind could not be counted on to provide needed electricity. Britain is finding out during the recent heat wave that wind farms cannot be counted on to provide electricity when it is most needed. (It actually isn’t the first time, it’s just the most recent one.)

It isn’t just in Europe that this lesson is being learned.

Texas found out during one particular cold snap a few years ago that their huge wind farms in west Texas couldn’t provide power because the cold affected the wind turbines, particularly when the blades on some of the turbines needed to be de-iced before they could be used, which meant they couldn’t be used as they had no means of doing so. At times there also wasn’t much in the way of wind to turn the turbines in any case. Call it another lesson that is being ignored by the climate change cult.

==+++++==

And that’s the news from Lake Winnipesaukee, where thunderstorms are in the forecast, another heat wave is on its way, and where we’re trying our best to ignore Monday.

Friday Funny (Saturday Edition) - Men Are Simple

Yes, I did not post this last night as I have a great excuse - I was at the Rod Stewart concert at our nearby venue last night. The concert was part of his farewell tour.

Now, without further ado:

I'll Tell You The Story - Binky And The Unmentionables

Thoughts On A Sunday

It’s been a long holiday weekend with those wanting to celebrate the Fourth of July holiday up here in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire making their appearance. From Wednesday evening onward the traffic was heavy, heavier than I can ever remember it being. The WP Mom and I went grocery shopping Thursday morning, figuring we’d beat the rush.

We were wrong.

It usually takes us about 5 to 10 minutes to make the trip between The Gulch and the local supermarket. (If we have to stop at all 4 traffic lights during the trip it takes us 10 minutes.) It was closer to 15 minutes before we pulled into the parking lot in front of the supermarket. The lot was full. Even though we were able to park in a handicap parking space, it was out in the East Overshoe section of the lot which meant it was a bit of a hike for the WP Mom.

Once inside the supermarket chaos reigned.

Surprisingly it didn’t take us as long as we thought it might to finish our shopping as the market had every checkout lane open and baggers on each lane. We made it back to the car in about 20 minutes...but then it was almost 20 minutes before we made it back to The Gulch as the traffic had gotten even heavier and slower.

In general, traffic was heavy all weekend. I didn’t see nearly as much traffic this morning when I made my usual Sunday morning Walmart run. But then, I made that shopping run almost an hour earlier than usual – 7 am rather than 8 am.

I will be heading out again later today to run a couple of errands so it will be interesting to see how heavy the traffic is this afternoon.

==+++++==

On Wednesday I saw a Facebook post made by a distant cousin (who shall remain nameless in order to keep her from being flamed) that claimed that the June job numbers showed a first time loss of jobs and laid the blame on Donald Trump. I did ask where she got her job numbers but I never heard back from her. The official jobs numbers from the Labor Department for June showed 147,000 new jobs filled which was 37,000 more than predicted.

Yes, I understand that monthly jobs numbers are almost always adjusted a month or so later once all the reports have been tallied, either upwards or downwards. But it seems that every jobs report since Trump started his second term have been revised upwards while they were almost always revised downwards during the Biden Administration.

The Wall Street Journal reports that even though some “manufacturers have paused hiring amid tariff uncertainties, the unemployment rate fell partly because fewer people are looking for work.” (The link may be paywalled.)

U.S. job growth continued at a steady pace last month, surprising economists who had predicted a slowdown in hiring amid uncertainty over trade and fiscal policy.

The country added 147,000 jobs in June, the Labor Department reported Thursday, above the gain of 110,000 jobs economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had expected.

The unemployment rate fell to 4.1% from 4.2%.

Revisions showed that hiring was stronger in prior months than previously thought. The number of jobs added in April and May was a combined 16,000 higher than prior estimates. Job growth was heavily concentrated in state and local government and in healthcare.

That much of that job growth in April and May was “heavily concentrated” in state and local government bothers me seeing most of them were in education, though the growth in healthcare jobs is promising.

On a local note, I know our school system has a problem when it comes to jobs, that being that even as our school population has shrunk by 15% over the past 15 years, the number of school employees has grown by 40%. Why?

If the non-education growth in local government jobs was due to growth in the population in towns and cities, I see that as more of a positive. I’ll admit some skepticism to the growth in state government jobs being a positive things.

It will be interesting to see what the adjusted jobs numbers for June will look like in a month or so.

What sounds true isn’t always actually true, particularly when it comes to illegal immigrants and taxes.

Liberals Claim Illegals Pay Taxes and Add to Society… The Numbers Don’t Show That at All

Liberals are always quick to say that illegal aliens pay taxes from their paychecks and add to American society, however, the actual numbers don’t make their case at all. Indeed, the numbers show that, overall, they don’t add anything but, instead, take from is all.

Democrats even go farther in their support for illegals and claim that they really don’t benefit from our system at all and that WE are the ones that reap all the benefits from illegal aliens.

--snip--

...yes, some of them pay taxes. But are they really a plus for us? The answer to that is a resounding no. And the reason for that is because they take far more in government services (both federal and state) than they ever pay in taxes.

The Center for Immigration Studies noted that 59 percent of non-citizen households are on welfare of one sort or another. That is compared to only 39 percent of citizens.

From the quote above one could make the argument that the non-citizen households include legal immigrants, but if one looks at the charts included in the linked article, it is stated that “59% of households headed by illegal immigrants, also called the undocumented, use at least one major program.” Only 52% of legal immigrant households do so.

This is something that needs a deeper look and the numbers better defined. If it is indeed true that the Democrats’ claims about illegal immigrants and taxes is not true, then we must make sure their their claims are exposed. This isn’t something that should be relegated to the “Everyone knows” category of misinformation.

==+++++==

What does the Left always seem to root for the bad guys?

Could it be because the bad guys do the things that they’d like to do, but are too chicken to do themselves?

==+++++==

And that’s the news from Lake Winnipesaukee, where we’re recovering from the holiday weekend, the heat and humidity have returned, and where Monday is coming back to plague us again.

July 4th - This Must Be Remembered

July 4, 1776

The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.

He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.

He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.

He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states:

For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing taxes on us without our consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:

For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses:

For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule in these colonies:

For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments:

For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on the high seas to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.

We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

Thoughts On A Sunday

Other than a brief respite last weekend, we’ve had 14 rainy Saturdays out of the last 15 Saturdays. Not that I am really complaining. I’m just stating fact. Others here in the Lakes Region don’t like it, particularly those who run tourism-oriented businesses. It’s just weather and it’s something we have to deal with.

The wet weather doesn’t stop us from taking care of our weekend chores, for the most part. Yes, it’s true the lawn may not get mowed until mid-week and garden work will have to be postponed for another day.

It certainly hasn’t affected Amateur Radio Field Day which started yesterday and ends today. It is an annual ‘test’ of emergency communications in the form of a contest. Amateur radio operators set up “in the field” to prove they can provide emergency communications in the event of an emergency that disrupts and takes out normal communications like phones, texts, Internet, etc. It takes place during the last weekend of every June. Field Day runs regardless of the weather, so the rain we had yesterday didn’t disrupt one of our local Amateur Radio clubs from participating.

As an aside, this will be a short workweek for yours truly as I will be taking both Wednesday and Thursday off in preparation for July 4th. I’ve got a few things to take care of prior to then, so why not burn up a little vacation time to do so?

==+++++==

In my post yesterday I mentioned that the Supreme Court got it right when it came to federal judges not having the inherent right to issue nationwide injunctions. The 6-3 decision split along part lines.

What’s ironic about this is that one of the dissenting Justices, Elena Kagan, had just the opposite opinion only three years ago when she wrote:

It can't be right that one district court, whether it's in the Trump years ... the Biden years, and it just can't be right that one district judge can stop a nationwide policy in its tracks, and leave it stopped for years — that it takes to go through the normal process.

Then why did she vote just the opposite way earlier this week? Mike Miller asks the questions:

So what was the deal, Justice Kagan? Why did you, in 2022, make a perfect case against district courts handing down decisions that stop nationwide policy dead in its tracks, yet on Friday, make a 180-degree U-turn and vote against stopping district courts from doing so?

Why, it couldn't be hypocrisy, could it?

Could it be that when such injunctions work for them the Democrats are all for them, but that when it works in the opposite direction they are against them?

In this case, the question and its answer are moot since the Supreme Court has already ruled on the matter.

==+++++==

Why doesn’t this surprise me in the least? Maybe because I understand math and engineering.

‘Net Zero’ Is Collapsing in U.S. States

From New York to California, state renewable electrical power dreams are collapsing. Power demands soar, while the federal government cuts funding and support for wind, solar, and grid batteries. Renewables cannot provide enough power to support the artificial intelligence revolution. The Net Zero electricity transition is failing in the United States.

Could it be because we’ve been seeing the increasing failures experienced by other countries trying to achieve Net Zero and don’t want to go down that rat hole with them?

In the US we’ve seen large scale renewable energy projects fail to meet the energy needs, producing a fraction of the power predicted with questionable reliability and service life. We’ve been finding out that windfarms aren’t the panacea so many claimed they would be, that solar farms take up so much land area they create damage to ecosystems because trees and other vegetation must be removed. Both are vulnerable to the vagaries of the weather, and solar is only usable for part of the day. The one thing rarely mentioned by the Net Zero cultists is that renewables require backups capable of carrying the load when renewables aren’t available. The problem is that in many cases those backups don’t exist, or worse, are ‘dirtier’ than what was replaced by the renewable sources. (A lot of those backups are fueled by coal, at least in Europe.)

There are ways to reduce carbon emissions, at least for power generation, but some of them are anathema to the Greens, one of the better ones being nuclear power. It doesn’t matter that nuclear power can provide a full load 24/7/365 even when the wind isn’t blowing or is blowing too hard or the sun is below the horizon or the sky is covered by clouds.

It seems to me that Non-Reciprocal Theory of Theory versus Practice has come into play regarding Net Zero:

In Theory, Theory and Practice are the same thing. In Practice, they are not.

To quote Dennis Miller, “That’s just my opinion. I might be wrong...”

==+++++==

It appears the Democrats are learning the lesson of “Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it.”

In this case it is precedents they set for January 6 congressional subpoenas that is now coming back to bite them.

While Oversight digs into the question of who was REALLY running Biden’s White House, the walls are closing in on Doctor Jill’s top aide.

Any of the excuses, deflections, and dodges that might have shielded Anthony Bernal from having to answer to Congressional oversight were shredded by the heavy-handed precedents set under the J6 committee.

After ignoring an invitation to testify before Congress, Bernal is now receiving a formal subpoena to appear, whether he wants to or not. And since Democrats were more than happy to throw Republicans in prison for refusing the subpoena, the precedent has been set for the same rules to apply to them.

“What goes around, comes around.” I guess the Democrats conveniently forgot that until it came back to bite them.

==+++++==

And that’s the news from Lake Winnipesaukee, where the heat and humidity are returning for the next couple of days, the summerfolk will start arriving one Tuesday to celebrate the Fourth of July, and where Monday is sneaking back in...again.

The Supreme Court Got It Right

I admit to feeling relieved the US Supreme Court ruled that federal judges do not have the power to issue nationwide injunctions. Judges should not have the power to do that on matters that are generally under the power of the Executive branch, and particularly on issues that are not class actions.

Some of my less cognizant acquaintances have claimed that federal judges have always have that power, but only if they define ‘always’ as since the end of the George W. Bush administration. Too many federal judges have gotten it into their heads that they are the ultimate power, that they can ignore the Constitution and order the Executive branch to do anything they want done. Some believe their rulings have power outside the US, Judge Boasberg (DC District Court) being one of the more recent examples of that when he ordered aircraft that were in international air space to turn around and return to the US and tried to stop further deportations of illegal aliens from Texas. He had no jurisdiction there either. We’ve had a federal judge in Hawaii issuing rulings and orders to districts that were well out of their jurisdiction.

It appears that other judges have decided that they can ignore or overturn US Supreme Court decisions because “they know better”. It’s time to prove to them they’re wrong with one sure way of doing that being by throwing them off the bench, if not having them disbarred. Judicial activism by ignoring the Constitution is not bravery. It is malice and authoritarianism. It is more about ‘feelz’ than it is about law. It is more about supporting The Narrative than the law.

It is something that needs to stop.
