I saw that a pundit thinks it would be even more cruel to be in imprisoned in some island 80 miles off of San Diego used by the Navy Seals and I believe that it’s not true. I stand by my Alcatraz rant. Imagine if you were a gambling addict and you had a choice of being incarcerated in an inescapable prison in the middle of nowhere and an inescapable prison ten miles outside of Las Vegas where you could see all the lights. Which would be more cruel?
HOLY SHIT
Trump just appointed Judge Pirro as acting US Attorney for DC. All the crooks should be shaking in their boots because she’s serious as a heart attack! Great appointment.
GAIN OF FUNCTION
Today Trump banned gain of function research and people are now saying that gain of function research is really bio weapon research. I told you so several years ago, There is absolutely no reason to create a virus that doesn’t occur in nature for any scientific reason other than to create a bioweapon. Fauci needs to be in prison and be bankrupt.
ALCATRAZ
Ok Trump said he is going to get it back into business and I love it. Now before I get to my real point, I want to let you know about my familiarity with the place. A few of you may know this, but I searched it today and it hasn’t been on this site before. Now as you know I was born in San Francisco but never really lived there. I started traveling there because we had a regional office there and I went several times and never went to Alcatraz because it just wasn’t high on my list of places to visit. I had visited prisons when I was in law school and it just didn’t rank high on my list of things to do. But I brought my ex out with me before we were married and she wanted to go to Alcatraz and so on the first night we were there we were down at the waterfront and I took her to show her where she would catch the ferry to see it the next day when I was working. I was trying a national security case out there.
Anyway when we got to where the ferries were, there was a huge crowd and I asked a couple what was going on and they said that twice a year the National Park Service put on a night tour where they had people dressed up and playing the Birdman of Alcatraz and other famous inmates and I asked where I could get tickets and they told me that it was always sold out months in advance. However, another couple who was supposed to go with them couldn’t make it and they gave us the tickets gratis . And it was amazing.
Now the hook to today is that HFJ said on the Five that they shouldn’t send prisoners there because it’s too beautiful, and he couldn’t be more wrong. Not because it’s not beautiful, but because and I thought this when I was there, it would be torture to be a mile and a half from San Francisco and able to see it every night and see the lit up waterfront and skyline and know ecstasy was just out of reach.
San Francisco is incredibly beautiful from Alcatraz and especially at night. The night I was there there was a clear sky and a full moon sitting over the Transamerica pyramid. I took a picture which was incredible. However, when the film came back from developing, the only photo missing was that one and not even a bad negative. I’m certain that someone has made some serious money with that photo.
THE RETURN OF THE CACKLER
She’s back and nobody missed her. She is an idiot, has always been an idiot and will always be an idiot. I’m positive that her IQ is medium double digits at best. She walks on a stage and starts laughing and pointing at who knows what. I have never walked on a stage, and I’ve walked on many, and started laughing. It’s ridiculous.
Now I know that the common perception is that she’s drunk and maybe that’s true. But I have another take. She must be on nitrous oxide — laughing gas for those of you that don’t know — because she is just laughing at stuff that’s not funny. The elephants were not funny. Nobody who watched that laughed. There was nothing funny about it. They didn’t fall down or charge their enclosure. They just did what their DNA told them to do. It is no different than what musk oxen do when a predator approaches. They form a circle with all the big ones on the outside providing an impenetrable defense of the rest of the herd.
Kamala is only good for laughs, and while she continues to lead in the polls for the Dem nomination for president in 2028, please let that happen.
Now to change the subject, I will again address a pet peeve of mine. Tampon Tim continues to button his suit coat with his tie extending well beyond his coat. Notice that Trump never does that and he wears his tie long like I used to do. As I’ve said before if your tie shows below your jacket, it’s like you pulled up your zipper and left your dick hanging out. It’s just annoying.
A FEW THINGS YOU MAY HAVE MISSED
First I heard that when Obama was supposedly the deporter in chief, they counted people turned away at the border as deportees. Using that metric, Trump has deported millions.
Next I heard Clay Travis say that Trump has destroyed the msm ability to control the narrative.. Every day he either goes on Truth Social or holds an relatively early press conference and he sets the narrative for the day..The left is used to sending out their bat signals to gIve the talking points for the day, but because of Trump’s early narratives, they can’t do it.
And the last thing I saw is that the attacks on Tesla are actually being funded by people who did it to short sell Tesla and make a huge profit. Remember if you sold Tesla at the price before the nonsense and then bought it back at half the price you made a huge profit.
APOLOGY
Last night I got my isotopes backwards. U-238 is the predominant isotope and U-235 is the one that determines the reactivity. I should never have done that but maybe I had one too many cocktails. Sorry, but it doesn’t change my point.
IRANIAN NUCLEAR
Let me say that I am hopeful that I’m going to educate you about Iran’s bullshit about its nuclear power program. First let me enlighten you and me about uranium enrichment. I should have known but believed that U-235 had to be enriched with U-238 to ten to twenty percent for a nuclear reactor, it appears that 3-5% is sufficient. I’ve seen articles supporting my original opinion and I apologize because I should know. I have been at the facilities where the enrichment occurs. But my point is that regardless of how much enrichment is required for Iran’s supposed nuclear energy program, it’s not 60% or higher. It takes 90%+ to reach weapons grade. There’s zero reason for Iran to be enriching uranium to the levels they are except for a nuclear weapon.
And I want to point out another thing that no one seems to be discussing. Iran has at this point one nuclear power plant that may not be operational. They have more than enough nuclear material to power many nuclear power plants and they aren’t doing it. Also any nuclear power plants they have or plan need to be on the Persian Gulf because they are a desert and I don’t believe that they have the required cooling water anywhere else. And the vast majority of the country is a long way from the Persian Gulf.
So what’s my point? First Iran is enriching uranium way beyond what’s needed for nuclear power, and so Trump must not allow them to have any enrichment capability in an agreement. They can’t be trusted because they have never complied with any deal that they made. And second they have already proven that they are not interested in a nuclear power program because they are enriching uranium way beyond the level necessary for a nuclear power plant.
BTW the reason you keep hearing about centrifuges is because U-238 is by atomic number heavier than U-235 and so would separate from the lighter isotope.
DUE PROCESS
Levin pointed out tonight that due process is a nebulous concept and I have discussed it previously. The Supremes are all over the place about it and need to definitely set out the parameters. As I have said before due process is whatever process you are due under the circumstances. It’s not a full jury trial with discovery and appeals. There is absolutely nothing in the constitution would dictate that.
in my opinion for the over 500K people Magoo illegally flew into the country, due process would mean they have a right and the burden to prove they aren’t one of them. Likewise for the gangbangers, they should be given the opportunity to prove they aren’t gangbangers. Otherwise they gone. There is nothing in the constitution that gives illegals any right to anything more. Skip the nonsense, suspend habeas corpus and get them all the heck out of the country!
HARVARD
I’m actually ashamed to admit that I was once a Senior Executive Fellow at Harvard. But in my defense, it was more than 40 years ago and it was at the Kennedy School. Admittedly it was Dem leaning given the name of the school.But the other fellows were the best and the brightest from their respective agencies and covered a broad spectrum from the CIA to the EEOC. There was zero antisemitism or any other nonsense. We were concerned with how to use what we learned to better our agencies. And as I have said previously, we learned a lot more from each other than from the Harvard faculty.
