Things I want to know before I go.


My 76th b-day is coming up in a few weeks....obviously time has stopped marching on and is now trotting.

before I go, I want to find out:

1. What did trump say to Justice Kennedy to make him resign from SCOTUS?
2. What did Putin tell trump at their private meeting that made trump look like a whipped dog when they emerged.
3. What is the real secret behind golden showers?
4. Who killed Epstein, and why ( tho that might a bit obvious)
5. What are all the schemes that Jared pulled for personal enrichment since 2016? ( besides selling pardons and selling Covid PPE from the National warehouse.

What is on your list?

Manafort started the “lock her up” chant in Ukraine when he was working for the Russians against a female candidate. I felt like he was the linchpin in this whole trump election villainy. Will we ever know the real story?

2. Well done Donald...I am sure we will eventually put the greatest Trump RE venture in the world. But first, we need to discuss your willingness to divide and destroy the USA.
3. See 2.
4. When you have dirt on just about everyone in power - some legit/some circumstantial - is it any wonder why he died?
5. When US voters really want to figure out the past 50 years, start voting Democrat - in overwhelming numbers.

we know that trump's first wife, Ivana, is from Czechoslovakia, and that Don Jr.speaks the language, and often has gone their to visit grandparents. ( wondering if Ivanka and Eric have the same language skill)
So it can't be dismissed that maybe Jr. carried out the same biz Cohen did, or similar.

the recall of the Mongol armies from Europe when he died in 1241 AD?

They had just defeated the last substantial military force in all of Europe and were marching to mop up the entire continent.

Had they done that, and with a solid Khan succession template in place, they quite likely would have conquered the entire planet, including the Americas. I am NOT having a laugh, not at all. It was the only time so far in human history this was possible.

Ögedei's premature death from alcoholism and the resultant Mongol withdrawal from Europe was arguably the greatest single infection point in human history (a case could be made for control of fire, the rise of the wheel, and also the rise of writing, but those were not at a single point and single place) until nuclear weapons were developed.

38. I've done a LOT of reading up on his dad and grand dad.
Mon Nov 1, 2021, 08:18 PM
Nov 2021


Not only did grand-dad open "hotels" in Alaska during the gold rush, he had one in Seattle also, and then he followed the promise of silver strikes, had a hotel,l in a place called Monte Cristo
in the Cascades mountains, which happens to be a place I am familiar with.
It's abandoned now of course, but in the 50's and on up, it was a place you could easily jeep to.
the thing about Monte Cristo and other mining camps up there is there is little flat land, so building a hotel...of sorts...was very expensive.So he was gambling on miners making a lot of money. the mine petered out after a few years.
It's a ghost town now, of course.

So Grad-dad ran brothels, and dad went in to construction, in New Jersey, which the mobsters ran
in those days.
Well, it turns out that trump was taught how that game works. When he built trump tower, he let a bunch of rich mobsters buy condos there,when the /russians took over the mobs, they got to live there.
trump was awestruck by the mobsters. That big black coat and black gloves he wears is a mob boss look he copied long ago.
Trump is a mobster. He's also mentally ill.

I am willing to bet that putin may have threatened Ivanka. she's the only he cares about.

White House delays the release of secret JFK assassination records, citing COVID-19

The White House has announced that a trove of remaining records concerning the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy will not be released as planned, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Congress declared in 1992 that all government records surrounding Kennedy's assassination "should be eventually disclosed to enable the public to become fully informed about the history surrounding the assassination."

But a part of that law also says that the release of these records can be postponed if their public disclosure would cause "identifiable harm" to military, intelligence, law enforcement or foreign operations.

46. "More Socks" by Jules Feiffer...
Mon Nov 1, 2021, 10:30 PM
Nov 2021
I go to the Laundromat to do a wash. Included in the wash are 8 pairs of socks. Out of the wash come 6 pairs of socks and 1 gray sock and 1 blue sock,

A week later I go back to do a wash. Included in the wash are 6 pairs of socks. Out of the wash come 4 pairs of socks plus 1 black sock and 1 green sock.

A week later I go to the Laundromat to do a wash. Out of the wash come 2 pairs of socks. The other socks never show up.

The next day I go to the Laundromat. As an experiment I put nothing but my last 2 pairs of socks. Out
of the wash comes a body stocking. In the body stocking I find a note. The note says: “quit trifling with the laws of nature and bring the machine more socks.”
