Happy Easter!

On the American memory

Based on experience and hundreds of conversations, I have arrived at the conclusion that many people in the United States seem to have bad memories. I don't really know why this could be. Perhaps many prefer not to remember, or they simply cannot. This isn't really what I feel in other countries, and it doesn't seem to be the case.

Versos demasiado sencillos

Hay algunos creen que saben sin saber, y hay algunos que saben y no lo creen.

Yo se más de ti que tu de mi, y la persona que contó el chisme sabe aun mucho menos. Como dice el dicho: el amor y el interés fueron al parque un día, y pudo más el interés que el amor que le tenía. The end...lol!

Things need to change

Much of what is happening these days seems to be a source of great sadness. Moreover, we have too much stress in our country. We need to address it all urgently. Basically, we need to do a 180 degree turn in the opposite direction as soon as possible. 

On wetbacks

Many seem to be overwhelmingly concerned about the wetbacks coming across the border illegally. I do agree that it seems to be a huge problem, but we have bigger issues in our country which also need to be addressed urgently. In fact, my concerns have needed attention, and to be addressed, for decades.

The Swamp (the establishment and deep state corruption) wetbacks are our biggest problem. Ones crossing the border are something completely different. Drain the swamp asap...far more important than the out of control border crisis.

Second to broadcast television in color

Did you know that Cuba was the second country in the entire world to broadcast television in Color back in 1958? Unfortunately, progress stopped after 1959.

Joe Biden's age is no problem

I have no problem with Joe Biden's age. I do have a problem with how they still want me to believe Joe got 20 million more votes than Obama did the second time around in 2012. But, fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Good luck pulling that stunt ever again!

Proxies

Proxy wars reciprocated by the same all around, these days.

History questions

I was a history major many decades ago, but I changed my mind. Basically, I didn't want to end up doing research next to rats at certain archives. However, I've often had questions about certain historical events that puzzled me. A good example would be why the Normandy invasion came so late into WWII? Also, was it really so urgent? We all know the Russians had already severely weakened the NAZIS a couple of years earlier at the Battle of Stalingrad. My thought has been that perhaps we went in to stop Soviet expansion more than NAZI, but that's just me thinking. I will stop here and revisit sometime in the future.

The hidden reversal

Henceforth, money made the old-fashioned way by earning it, may place you in a courtroom in which the judge rules that you will be forced to pay huge fines in the millions of dollars with 9% interest. Also, henceforth money is to be made via the leverage of a taxfunded office. Basically, in the way the swamp has made money traditionally, thus finally reversing the definition of government corruption.

Was 2023 the hottest year?

Recently I read somewhere that 2023 was the hottest year. With all the news about Climate Change, one can imagine I became a bit unsettled just using logic. In case there is doubt, please read the following excerpt.

“After seeing the 2023 climate analysis, I have to pause and say that the findings are astounding,” said NOAA Chief Scientist Dr. Sarah Kapnick. “Not only was 2023 the warmest year in NOAA’s 174-year climate record — it was the warmest by far (https://www.noaa.gov).”

I am not the one saying it, so I hope that was convincing enough. As Dr. Kapnick said: "it was the warmest by far." I am, however, not easily convinced.  And, if you are like me, you will probably do further research when reading something like this, which I did. Read the following information I found.

...the mid-Holocene, roughly 6,000 years ago, was generally warmer than today during summer in the Northern Hemisphere. In some locations, this could be true for winter as well (www.ncei.noaa.gov).

 

We are still in the Holocene period, by the way. Anyhow, based on this foregoing fact, if one reads further, one can say that there can be changes in Earth's orbit changing the distribution of solar radiation received many times, as the sun travels around the galaxy. Our solar system takes around 225 million Earth years to orbit the galaxy. It seems to me that it is false to say that 2023 was the warmest year. The warmest year since we've done modern record keeping may perhaps be true. I am referring to the use of satellite and computers...etc. One hundred plus years vs eleven- thousand, or a million is hardly anything in the span of time by comparison. Moreover, to say humans are responsible for climate change, as it is often said by politicians, also seems false since we don't really seem to have sufficient data to prove this within a large expanse of time, and we really don't know the future. A large asteroid hitting us or a super volcano erupting can affect our planet at any given moment, thus immediately changing all weather patterns.

One thing I can say is that we have ice core samples from Greenland and Antarctica, which contain evidence going back many thousands of years prior to the present Holocene era. The Holocene era thus far very likely has some of the best climate ever on our planet. Warm weather is awesome, for instance. Why? We usually get better harvests, which means people eat better, and get more nutrients in their food staying healthier consequently. Cold weather, on the other hand, is not healthy. More people die from cold weather, seemingly. The New York Times, Washington Post, and CBS reported dozens of deaths from winter storms just this past January 2024 alone.

Planet Earth has been around billions of years, and we really don't have enough data right now to argue that we humans have caused climate change. Maybe a thousand years from now we will perhaps know better. Sure, there is climate change, it’s no hoax, the climate is always changing. Should we take care of the planet, and be good stewards to it when possible and able? Yes, but I'm not convinced that 2023 was the warmest year. Not by far!
