Donald Trump and the Jeffrey Epstein Controversy

 I have been spending a lot of time on X, Elon Musk's platform that used to be called Twitter.  Although it is considered a conservative site now, the most hateful and angriest posts are rants from the far left and the Democrat Party.  There was a time when I could not stomach such a pure diet of negativity, but now I have become inured to it.  Now I spend time each day refuting leftists and Democrats.  

The major thrust of the Democrats on x is to tie Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased pedophile who trafficked under age girls to his private island where the girls were raped by Epstein and his friends and cohorts.  

The controversy is to find out which prominent men visited the island so they can be exposed and maybe prosecuted.  The Democrats have been demanding all of the Epstein files, hoping Donald Trump is among the visitors and victimizers of the young girls there. Not waiting for any proof of this, the Democrats on X continually call Trump a pedophile who "rapes children."  Their hatred for Trump is so virulent and over the top that they wish to conjure the alleged crime into existence by the sheer force of their will.

Trump claims he never visited Epstein Island and never molested any of the victims there.  No victims have accused Trump and one of the most famous of the victims, one Virginia Giuffre, stated in a legal deposition under oath that Trump never did anything wrong. Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's accomplice in the solicitation of the young girls, also stated the same thing:  Trump was never involved.

Finally, Epstein's defense attorney, Alan Dershowitz, said that he had interviewed his client to see if they could identify any prominent men who were involved, for the purpose of framing their defense, and specifically if Donald Trump had been involved.  Epstein told him he had nothing on Trump and that Trump was not involved.

Trump has now agreed to release any remaining files from Epstein Island for public scrutiny.  They won't find any dirt on Trump, but there may be plenty of dirt on Democrat individuals like Bill Clinton, and if so, the humiliation of the cabal of slanderers will be complete.

The Ugly Politics of American LIberals

 If you want to witness the most hateful and vicious political narratives on the planet, join Elon Musk's platform, called X.

The Government Shut Down

The far left shows a level of hatred that is almost inhuman.  Of course, Donald Trump is their main target.  They accuse him of being a child rapist, a pedophile and a felon and hope for his death.  Because the Democrats have shut down the government, many programs and agencies are not being funded.  Air Traffic Controllers and the military are going without paychecks, and certain welfare programs, like the SNAP (food stamps) are not being funded.   

Democrats are claiming that Trump could fund SNAP but he refuses to do so because he wants to "starve kids."  A federal court ordered Trump to fund SNAP through the end of November using emergency funds.  However, those funds are legally restricted for various purposes, and using them for a problem deliberately created by Congress is not one of them.  Nevertheless, Trump said he would gladly release the funds if the court would give him guidance on how to do it legally.  The court has not responded, and so Trump asked the appeals court to invalidate the lower court order since it was impossible for Trump to obey it.  

Meanwhile, Democrats are having hissy fits claiming Trump is fighting a court order to feed starving Americans.  It is typical character assassination, the Democrats hoping it will hurt Republicans in the midterm elections next year.

Erika Kirk, Widow of Charlie Kirk

On September 10, conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot dead by a sniper while giving a presentation at a university in Utah.  Charlie's mission was to have polite conversations with college students about the political controversies of the day, in an attempt to change their opinions and impressions from left to right.  

Since his death, Charlie's widow, Erika Kirk, took over the leadership of Charlie's organization, Turning Point, USA.  She has spoken at various colleges in Charlie's absence, and welcomed warmly by large crowds.  This no doubt angered the leftists and they have organized a slander campaign to undermine Erika's popularity.

On X, the leftists have said Erika is having an affair with Vice President J.D. Vance, and that Vance will leave his wife and marry Ericka.  Some fool even posted a fake graphic of Vance and Erika taking their marriage vows together.  Other posters claim she is insincere in her grief for her recently murdered husband, and that she fakes tears for her audiences.  There is no truth in this slander.

Learning Spanish, Update

 How hard is it to learn another language?  I know French fairly well, though I wouldn't consider myself fluent.  I can read it and understand most of it.  It was my favorite subject in high school, the only class in which I got straight A's.  I have built on that base by watching YouTube videos and by studying it in Babel.

A few years ago I realized that knowing Spanish would be a good idea, since I live in California and there are many native speakers here.  So I took two semesters of Spanish at the local junior college and then began studying that in Babel as well.  Now I am studying it much on my own, using the many lessons and reading stories on YouTube.  I figure it will take 1 or 2 years to become fluent.  My time estimate is based on what other students of the language have reported on YouTube.  If they can do it, so can I.

Avoid Internet Scams

About a week ago I was scrolling through YouTube and saw an ad for an IQ test.  For fun, I took the test, but at the end I was told I would have ot pay $9 to receive my score.  No problem I fired up PayPal and paid the $9 -- or thought I had anyway.  The next day my PayPal account revealed that instead of taking the $9 the vendor had charged my account $29.90, and indicated that this would be a recurring monthly charge.  None of this was authorized by me and I complained to PayPal and they removed the recurring charge but would not remove the first charge of $29.90.   So much for the safety of using PayPal.

I tried to reach the vendor directly though their website, but the website would not allow any messages to themselves unless you were a registered user.  The company was in China, no surprise there.

A few days before this episode I had ordered a glucose monitoring device from a Chines company for $25.  However, they charged my PayPal account $65 instead and also put me on a recurring charge, unauthorized by me.  I got PayPal to reverse the recurring charge and got the excess chare refunded.  There is a lesson to be learned from this:  if you order something through PayPal, unscrupulous vendors will have access to you PayPal account and will rob you blind with charges you never authorized.  I doubt that I will ever receive the device I did order and paid 25 for.

Here are my suggestions to avoid getting ripped off by unscrupulous vendors:

1. Never directly order anything advertised on YouTube.  Instead, check Amazon.com to see if you can order though them.  Amazon is honest and fair, and you can return anything you ordered with no hassle and no questions asked, and receive a refund.

2  Never directly order anything advertised on FaceBook; check Amazon to see if they carry the same thing.

Trump Ends the War in Gaza; Woke Right Damages MAGA Movement

President Donald Trump's approval with the public is riding high, especially since he was able to negotiate an end of the Israeli-Gaza war and release of of the surviving hostages in Hamas hands.  The Democrats are so jealous that they posted several items on X.com claiming that Trump copied Biden's peace plan and the hostage release was already in the works, thanks to Biden, when Trump took over.  Pathetic, to say the least.

The Dems found a private group chat online by young Republicans, in which the members made several really stupid and destructive statements, including one member stating "I love Hitler" and another stating Democrats should be put in the gas chamber and still others expressing animosity towards the State of Israel.  This is significant because a major part of the Democrat strategy is to convince the public that Republicans are Nazis and fascists.  It is a desperation move, but the young fools in the group chat breathed life into the left's slander.

There is a bad section of the conservative movement, known as the Wole Right, who are anti-semitic and strongly oppose Israel.  These Young Republicans in the Chat Group apparently identify with these people and should be condemned and ostracized by mainstream MAGA.  The unofficial leaders of the Woke Right are Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Mark Dice and Marjorie Taylor Green.

Most members of MAGA are strongly supportive of Israel and want to help jews.  We have been distancing ourselves from the Woke Right, as we sense they are bound to be more of a problem than a help to the MAGA right.

Online Advertising Scams; Fake YouTube Posts

YouTube BS to Attract Readers

 The weather here in Hollister is finally turning cold.  I am sitting here in the backyard watching the large havest moon ascend in the sky.  Life is a battle and I am in retreat.  I am also freezing.

I am amazed at how much out and out fraud is present on the internet today.  The commercial online advertisements are a disgrace.  All sorts of fake gadgets are advertised when you bring up many posts on YouTube.  A maxim to keep in mind is this:  if its too good to be true, it's a scam.  Don't be a sucker.

One of the most current is a device said to steal content from Netflix.  The advertisers "hope Netflix won't find out about it."  Now you can watch several online content providers "for free."  Don't be too appalled, the device doesn't really work.  A lot of these scams allow you to return their nonfunctioning junk for a refund, knowing that many will not bother.

Another item that appears to be fake is a gadget that you plug into a wall socket and it somehow greatly decreases your energy bill.  Oh yeah, that sounds totally plausible.  (Sarcasm)

Another source of gross falsehoods is found in the YouTube postings.  I am referring to the post's title page, not the post itself.  Apparently, YouTubers can lie lie hell in the title page without any worry of negative action by YouTube.

For example, there has been several utterly false claims about the Tyler Robsinson case, the suspect accused of assassinationg Charlie Kirk.  One post title page claims that during his court hearing, Tyler and his mom and dad begged the judge not to give Tyler the death penalty, with an AI produced image of the three Robinsons crying in court.  

Another such post claims Tyler sent his parents a video or him chained to a bed in his cell.  Ridiculous, Tyler has no ability to make any videos or send them from his cell.  

Still another post claims Tyler has now been convicted and sentenced to death.  No trial has yet occurred, so the claim is as fake as fake can be.

Don't bother reading such posts.

Dust In The Wind

10:50 PM – I am still in a blue funk over the deaths of my dog Kodi and the murder of Charlie Kirk.  It’s like a constant form of mental fatigue.  I don’t want to do anything, I don’t much care about anything.  Do the dead know that they are dead?  Do they know what happened to them?  Where are they now?

 I remember back in 1970 when my mother-in-law died of cancer. I was attending night classes at San Jose State.  As I walked along the dark campus, I looked at a street light and saw that its brilliance seemed to be swimming in my tears, and I asked “Mama, where are you?”  I grieved over her now permanent absence from my life, through natural forces that I could neither understand nor control.

Tonight I feel the same sorrow for Kodi, my dog.  Maybe there is no afterlife for dogs or even humans.  Maybe Kodi is nothing more now than dust in the wind.  If that be true, I want to be with him wherever and however he is.  If he is just dust in the wind, then I want to be dust in the wind with him.  Eventually, I mean.

However, I have no intention of speeding up the process, so do not worry about that.  I will live my life as long as God or nature dictates.

Leftist Lies About Charlie KIrk

Charlie Kirk

Since Charlie Kirk's murder, there have been outpourings of grief on the right, matched with outpourings of hate and slander on the left.

Politicians, teachers and entertainers have said some terrible things about Charlie Kirk, saying that he deserved his death, or that he preached hatred and bigotry towards various groups (like blacks and Jews) and was generally a terrible person.  None of these leftist haters have provided any evidence or support for their claims, because there is none.  Ensconced in their ideological bubble, liberals and leftists based their claims on mere rumor and speculation, not facts.  Charlie was a devout Christian and acted like it.

Charlie's mission in life was to persuade college students that much of what they are taught about conservative beliefs and American history are false.  Since persuasion was his goal, he knew quite well that insulting, demeaning or humiliating his audience would make that impossible.  Therefore, his debates with college students were generally polite conversations.  

Many of Charlie Kirk's debates may be watched online at YouTube and show quite well who Charlies was and they prove the falsity of leftwing slander of the man.  Look for them.

Outrageous Online Claims About the Charlie Kirk Assassination

 Currently there is a frenzy of sorts by video YouTubers to cash in on the Charlie Kirk tragedy.  Check YouTube and you will see what I mean.  All kinds of nutty conspiracy theories and outright falsehoods are being posted in an effort to attract readers.

Yesterday I filed a complaint with YouTube about a site that stated flat out that Erika Kirk, wife of Charlie Kirk, had Charlie killed. YouTube said they would look into it.  I don't see that site online anymore so maybe they deleted it.

Other fake stories online claim the following falsehoods:

*That Tyler Robinson was not the shooter, that his rifle was not the gun that fired the shot, that the bullet found in Charlie's body did not match the recovered rifle.  These are claims that could only be verified by the FBI or other police experts and the persons making the claims have no way of knowing what is or isn't true.

*That no autopsy was performed.  This claim has not been verified and is merely speculation.

There are people who love crazy theories, but they love website clicks even more.  

Life Sucks and Then You Die

Charlie Kirk

A lot of dreadful things have happened since I last wrote. Charlie Kirk, a young and talented conservative spokesman and leader of Turning Point USA, was assassinated on September 10 while speaking at an outdoor event at Utah Valley University. A lefiwing punk named Tyler Robinson climbed up to a roof and fired a high caliber round, hitting Charlie in the neck and fatally wounding him. He died shortly thereafter in the hospital. Charlie leaves behind two children and a pregnant wife, who witnessed the assassination close up.

Great expressions of grief have ensued from across tha nation and even the world, even while the murder was being joyfully celebrated by the political left and some Democrats. The perp was caught and Utah prosecutors will pursue the death penalty,

There will be a large memorial service tomorrow in Phoenix, and Charlie will be buried next week, on Tuesday I think.

On August 22, a young Ukranian girl named Iryna Zarutska was murdered on the light rail in Charlotte, North Carolina. She was returning home from her job at a pizza place, wearing her pizza uniform, and sat down in a chair right in front of a black ex-con named Decarlos Brown Jr, who then stabbed her in the neck with a pocket knife. She died on the floor of the rail car. The attack was completely unprovoked and captured by video. President Trump has called for the death penalty for the perpetrator.
