( About 9 minutes ) All it will take is one serious pandemic from an illegal to get more border wall than you can currently imagine. Measles is already spreading. Democrats are not thinking this through. At all. The current Trump hate will fade. And who will be hated? Hating Trump and “the Wall” is…

( About 8 minutes ) Once upon a time Democrats were the anti-Black Party. Now the have become the anti-White Party. Same racism. Different race.

( About 7 1/2 minutes ) Pelosi desperately needs to pass some kind of pot bill to keep the Bernie Bros even somewhat aboard. If she gets into an all out war with Trump that can’t happen – even though Trump is amenable. “Well Nancy, I’d really like to sign that bill, but there is…

In response to a murder in prison a commenter asked: The violent code of prisoners is an enigma on what’s right & wrong in their own small world of how justice is to be served. I responded: Well. Try this. Suppose most of the men in prison suffered child abuse. The “code” is then more…

It is obvious Alcohol Prohibition didn’t work. It is obvious Drug Prohibition isn’t working. For the very same reasons. Black Markets are more powerful than governments. Good government avoids creating them.

The current interest in advancing States Rights with respect to cannabis got me to thinking back to the States Rights issues of 1860. The South wanted States Rights with respect to slavery. But their most pressing issue was getting the other States (via the Feds) to enforce it. They didn’t want the anti-Slavery States to…

A friend of mine turned me on to a ‘Dead cover band Hyryder. They are not just a cover band. They capture the spirit of the Dead. And so. Listening to a show is a spiritual experience. On Facebook: Hyryder Set 2 – 28 Dec 2018. Hyryder Set 3 – 28 Dec 2018 Yes. I…

You may have heard about the resignation of General Mattis over policy differences. There are a lot of theories about that. Here is mine: Trump is in the process of keeping his promise of almost 30 years – to end the Drug War. With Sessions (Jeff and Pete) gone and the Democrats in control of…

As you can see I have been doing some work on the Bringing A Little Light To The World™ Flash-Light™. The Flash-Light™ is also discussed at this update. The case holds two AA batteries – good for 100 hours of on time or 10 years of flashing. The case was 3D printed at Rockford Makers…

( About 21 minutes ) If things go as they estimate, EVs (electric vehicles) will be a very big deal by 2025. Is that possible? Yes. Likely? Maybe. A question I had was: Can the electrical grid handle these new loads coming on line? Probably – if the roll out speed is not too fast.…

( About 29 minutes ) Archeology. Floods. Catastrophe. “Climate change” is more scientific group think. Some photonics questions What are the photon absorption bands of CO2? What are the photon absorption bands of water vapor? What is the overlap? What does it mean?

Illinois Governor elect J.B. Pritzker has a new motto. “Beat Michigan” Illinois Gov.-elect J.B. Pritzker is making legalizing marijuana one of his top priorities. Pritzker says he’s already been working out the details with legislators. “There’s an opportunity for us to be the first state in the Midwest to make it available, and so I…

By now you may have heard about President Trump awarding Miriam Adelson the Medal of Freedom. “A medical doctor, Miriam has dedicated her life to fighting addiction, something we’re all becoming all too familiar with,” Trump said at one point. The president’s brother Fred died young because of his alcoholism. Maybe the President also had…

Representative Jim McGovern of Massachusetts who will soon become the Chairman of the House Rules Committee had this to say. “This just seems like common-sense stuff,” McGovern said. “Especially on the issue of medical marijuana — people who are opposed to that are just on the wrong side of public opinion, overwhelmingly. It’d be nice…

The allegations of vote fraud in Florida and Arizona are nothing but a right wing conspiracy theory. Chelsey Marie Smith is of a different opinion.

Governor-elect @JBPritzker wants to legalize recreational marijuana in Illinois almost immediately after being sworn in next year. He also said he will look at vacating arrest records for those who have been convicted of crimes involving marijuana. https://t.co/NESIbgSgU1 pic.twitter.com/qM889uy405 — FOX 32 News (@fox32news) November 7, 2018 Notice the funny smirk on his face when…

I thought this was some clever wording. And true.     Consider this: a dead pimp running as a Trump Republican in Nevada won. Ouch.     It is little things like that which brighten otherwise dark days.

And just as I had planned. Straight Republican except for (D) Pritzker for Governor because legalizing recreational cannabis is a priority for him. The legislature is already working on a bill. First off, the State needs the money. Second – reducing the size of the police forces is a necessity. The State is broke. I’m…

The Mexican Supreme Court has struck down cannabis prohibition. The move comes as the nation’s incoming presidential administration has been considering legalization. Earlier this month, designated members of President-elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s future cabinet discussed legalizing cannabis with Canadian government officials on a trip to that county, which ended prohibition of the drug this…
