I've traveled the long strange road. Disc golf aficionado, electronics geek, builder, high school CTE teacher, retired military but busier than ever. Patriotic but wondering what's bending this country's brain. Environmentalist, well-considered atheist.

Quincy CA Hands Off event. This is a small town, maybe 3000 in the area, but we ended up with around 300 or so. This video is 15 minutes before things got rolling with speakers. I had to land to avoid flying over people (not allowed). A bunch of Forest Service people here are out of work. #UNFTR
Listening to the loony Secretary of War haranguing the military's top brass about being too fat brought to mind the images of the corpulent ICE corps now terrorizing American cities. The Director of Homeland Security better get her troops in shape! PT twice a day, ICE fatties!

National Security Policy Memorandum 7. Read it. This is the policy that officially turns the government against Trump's opponents. www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

Crypto "currency" - just a set of binary digits stored on a "block chain" of computers. Each group of numbers can be owned, exchanged, gifted, but it is still just a friggin' digital number. Why would you exchange part of your life as labor for one of these friggin' numbers? Hope for dumber than you

I'm not a natural to the criminal mindset - I'm always astonished by them. But Trump is schooling us good. Sitting in the Big Boss chair and shaking down nations, corporations, universities, and now cities - isn't there a law against this? Seems like a prosecutor should stop him. Oh yea - Pamela Jo.

WTF?!!! Trump has ordered the destruction of 2 operating satellites because he doesn't like the data. www.npr.org/2025/08/04/n...

Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose
The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

Trump never served in the military, so he has no idea what the impact his "deployments" have on the National Guard. Guardsmen view themselves as modern day Minute Men, ready to gear up and roll on EMERGENCIES. Think public service. Trump is abusing the Guard. I'm speaking from experience. TSA.

I can tell you're running a great science class! Love it! Your kids are jazzed. I spent that last year writing a new 2 year "drone" curriculum, going into the classroom with it in 2 weeks. Nervous!!! I really hope to generate the enthusiasm you do. Kudos.

Trump the twister (aka tornado). "Taking charge" of D.C. is stupid. Listen to "Ohio" by C.S.N.Y for a reminder of how National Guard deployments can go south. This is a move to suppress dissent. National Guard can't do police work. No training (same issue w/ 18 yo ICE recruits). This will backfire.

So...DJT is meeting Putin to "negotiate" a land deal to end Putin's aggression. Trump has no authority to bargain with Ukrainian land. The only land Trump can barter off with Putin is American. Maybe Putin wants Alaska back - or maybe he'd take Florida instead. Trump wouldn't owe tax that way.😜

Our latest for @meidastouch.com. corporate media is glossing over the thing that will bring about the Trump depression. Household debt figures are out and they are catastrophic. Student debt may be the pin that pops this bubble.

I'm not into conman culture. I hate ripoffs. But here we are. We have an elected president (?! wtf, over) who is singularly dedicated to self enrichment. He is about to insert himself into the currency of our nation through his crypto currency boondoggle. That is a crisis. It sucks to be Casandra.

You have a right to remain silent. Exercise it. If stopped by ICE at a checkpoint (or anywhere), just say "lawyer" and hand them your license. End of transaction. Further obstruct by being slow. Only open your window enough to slide license out. Drop it if you can. Make them work for it.

We're seeing mobile highway checkpoints set up by ICE or INS (who knows) all over around Marysville, CA. The 1976 SCOTUS case US v Martinez-Fuerta (428 U.S. 543) seems controlling that they are not unreasonable searches. You can resist by being slow to produce paper, drop license, don't answer Q's.

Chatting with a tree guy today, obviously Hispanic, I asked if he'd seen much ICE activity. He told me they're setting up road blocks around Marysville, CA. Can ICE just stop everyone? I think this is BS. Friggin' police state crap. Not liking being American these days.

I have a good faith question for the legit transgender community, if you will permit me. How offensive is it when I make mistakes with mis-gendering language? I find the English language to be resistant to gender neutrality, and I do make mistakes, without meaning to. How bad is this? Thanks.

Here's a big money idea for somebody to develop. I'm too far past my prime to run it; it just needs to get done. Tear it up, somebody. Imagine a VR wearable that supplies a visual of deep space data. Like an observatory strapped to your face. Imagine the deep space tours. Look through blue sky.

The authoritarian takeover jumped forward (take one giant step) today in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Emil Bove, Trump's personal vampire lawyer Appellate Court nominee, is getting rammed down our throat. Epstein much, Trump? What is a lifetime appointment to the undead? Yikes!

Is the rush to confirm Emil Bove part of Trump's attempt to stay out of jail for f***ing underage girls supplied by Epstein? Looks pretty stinky to me. Bove is entirely unqualified.

I'm astonished to learn that the Pentagon has signed a multi-billion contract to integrate AI into ... something military. Anybody who has spent any time using LLM "AI" knows how sketchy this technology is. Pentagon is probably going to get screwed and screw up on this.

As usual, Trump sucks all the oxygen out of the room. He deserves NONE of the attention he gets. He needs to find himself back in a court room, facing a jury of Americans, looking at a clear view of his criminal acts. We have better things to work on. CLIMATE CHANGE!!!

While we focus our attention on the Trump-Epstein continuum, an issue that should be handled by the criminal justice system, larger and more pressing issues go unaddressed. Floods, heat, super-storms should remind us that the planet we live on is changing rapidly. We don't survive without change.

Epstein and the powerful, yet puny, men he served with young girls are disgusting exemplars of not just toxic masculinity, but even more accurately, representatives of the casually cruel sociopathy typical of the ultra wealthy. We all exist to serve their desires. We don't matter beyond that.
