My head wants to explode because of science deniers…part 2

stuff that makes AH Trimble's head explodeWelcome to Part #2 of my exploding head rant. If you didn’t read yesterday then you are probably better off from a mental health perspective. But, if you are determined to read today’s Part #2 then you should probably read Part #1 from yesterday.

< click here to read yesterday’s post >

Warning: Reading yesterday’s article and today’s article may make your head want to explode also.

Let’s get right to it…

#4 – Let’s just go ahead and kill everyone! First off the countries of the world combined kill approximately 140 unborn babies each minute. Think about that for a minute…73,000,000 babies that will never experience life because they will be killed by medical professionals.

But no…that is not enough…not near enough! Back in 2016 Canada approved assisted suicide. Yup, death by Doctor for whomever wants it. But, that too wasn’t good enough! How about this…if you are feeling depressed, or lonely, or kinda blue…the mentally ill…yup, you can have em kill you too.

But wait…that isn’t good enough either! How about…let’s kill kids too! Not the 73million unborn babies already being killed, this is a whole new group of kids that doctors can kill. So who are these kids in Canada? Any unemancipated minor patient (child below the age of 18) that a doctor feels is mature enough to make the decision…can now make the decision to kill themselves and have a Doctor help them. How nice…Doctors at their finest!

And who pays the doctors to kill the babies, the adults, the mentally ill, and now young kids? Oh, the Canadian government. So the more kids and babies that Canadian doctors kill…the more money those doctors make. How convenient.

Yeah, how’s that for a great country like Canada!!! Kill babies, kill the mentally ill, kill adults, kill kids under the age of 18…kill, kill, kill! That almost sounds like eugenics doesn’t it.

Not to worry…only in 10 countries around the world is it legal to kill people on demand…or if the doctor thinks it appropriate. But not to worry…there are more than 50 countries where it is perfectly legal, and women are encouraged, to kill unborn babies.

And there are still a few people that wonder why the world is in such a mess as it is today. Imagine that!

Oh, and we just celebrated Thanksgiving…and so did The Nation magazine. They had the headline…We are Thankful for our Abortions! Oh, and they said to “celebrate the experience.” And FYI…The Nation is solidly communist and the editors have interesting backgrounds including Soviet spies and rabid Communists and Socialists. Imagine that!

Once again, I am willing to accept and use science to stop the deaths of millions and millions of babies, kids, adults, and the mentally ill around the world. And that scientifically proven method to stop all of that death is…simple, stop baby killing abortions and stop the killing of minor children and adults on demand under the guise of euthanasia.

So who are the pro-abortion, abortion rights advocates in the US, Canada, and around the world????

#5 – Biden…yes, “Joe-the-Pervert” Biden, says semiautomatic firearms have no social redeeming value. Dang! Well, give him credit…that comes after a number of high-profile shootings. Shootings by mentally ill folks and criminals in predominately liberal/Democrat controlled cities and/or states.

So let’s not blame the shooting on the actual primary causes…criminals and mental illness…let’s blame the gun. The gun that is obviously perfectly capable of making decisions on its own and pulling its own trigger…while aiming itself at people.

While “Sexual Predator” Joe is senile and in the throws of dementia, he and those around him know why the Founding Father believed so strongly in the Second Amendment…the average citizen’s capability to resist a tyrannical and oppressive central government.

Of course “Child-Hair-Sniffer” Biden wants the guns gone…then our tyrannical federal government can’t be resisted as the Founding Fathers wanted and that the Bill of Rights ensured.

And of course this comes on the heels of a report that shows that half of all Americans believe the US is close to another Civil War. Huummmm……

So, since I am not a science denier let’s look at the science to stop gun violence. Since the mentally ill are one of the largest groups to commit shootings, let’s pass a law that forbids the mentally ill from buying or processing a gun. Oh, we already have that. Well then I guess that means we should have institutions where the mentally ill can receive quality care, be protected from themselves and each other, protect potential victims from becoming victims of the mentally ill, and that creates a safe environment where the mentally ill can’t realistically possess and use a gun to shoot and kill people. Oh, the liberals, Progressives, and Democrats already made those kinds of institutions a thing of the past.

Now that leaves the criminal element who commit a large portion of gun violence. Well, science and logic would then dictate to keep the guns out of criminal’s hands. Oh, we already have that. Well, maybe the best way to keep guns out of the hands of criminals is treat criminals as criminals…lock them up. When a person commits a crime where a gun is used then the criminal gets locked up for a very long time. Plus, automatically, no bail upon arrest. If a person committing a crime uses a gun to injure someone then it is life in prison, if they use a gun to kill someone they get the death penalty. So there is that scientifically proven cure.

Now there are two remaining additional known statistics/facts associated with gun violence. First off, most gun violence occurs in jurisdictions that are under the political control of liberals, progressives, and Democrats. Solution is simple…disallow local jurisdictions from being politically controlled by liberals, progressives, and Democrats. And, just to be fair, any politician who is the governing authority in a political jurisdiction at the state level or below, where gun violence is above the statistical mean for any given year is immediately removed from office, and forbidden to hold any future political office, regardless of political party association. A perfect scientific solution based on statistics and facts.

And finally, the last of the last two additional known statistics/facts associated with gun violence. According to CNN, 2021 was the worst year on record for mass shootings. Further, they state that 2022 will eclipse 2021 and become the worst year on record for mass shootings, making 2021 and 2022 the worst years in history for mass shootings. That is science, statistics, facts…and they are not to be ignored, they are not to be denied. During those same years Joe Biden has been President. Obviously, based on the very same science that liberals, progressives, and Democrats use for a whole host of decisions…Joe Biden should be immediately removed from office…obviously there is a clear and undeniable scientific link there.

So you can clearly see that I am not a science denier and I am more than willing to apply facts, evidence, and scientific methods to cure problems in the USA.

# 6 – The best for last…oh yeah!

So there seems to be some confusion out there on a particular subject…but science can eliminate that confusion. So let’s not deny science shall we. Let’s embrace and believe in science!

From Psychology Today (scientific journal) titled X Y Chromosomes

“Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes that carry DNA within their nucleus. The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair. They determine the biological sex, reproductive organs, and sexual characteristics that develop in a person. Female (XX) mammals inherit one X chromosome from each parent, but males (XY) receive an X from their mother and a Y sex chromosome from their father.”

Then there is the SCIENCING (scientific journal) article Differences in Male and Female Chromosomes.

“The main differences between males and females are the X and Y chromosomes. Among humans, two X chromosomes make a woman, and an X and a Y chromosome make a man.”

So there we have it…there is no confusion, no debate, no concern any more about male vs female!! It has been scientifically proven for 117 years. Yeah, go figure…people, to this day, are still denying science and thinking that biological males can become females, and biological females can become males. If you have XY chromosome you are a male, if you have XX chromosome you are a female.

But of course…a person can play at, pretend to be, another sex. For instance a male can pretend, make believe, he is a female…but he is still a male. And there is no third or even ten-thousandth gender available in science. And no, a person can’t be “gender fluid” unless they have found a way to change their XX & XY chromosomes at will like contact lenses. Which science says, when it comes to chromosomes, they can’t and don’t.

Summary…there are only two genders, two sexes according to science…male and female. Of course any normal, reasonable, intelligent, non-idiot, with even a single functioning brain cell person already knew that.

Now here comes the biggest issue I have in regards to the “gender issue”…children.

When someone teaches children that their gender is not “fixed” or determined by science they are lying…criminally lying.

When someone assists a child to pretend to be another gender they are committing a criminal, dangerous, and disgusting act.

When a person gives a child hormone altering drugs so a child can resemble a sex other than that which science says they are…then that is a foul and repugnant criminal act. If that person providing the drugs, or prescribing the drugs, is a medical professional then that person is beyond a criminal…they are evil.

When someone mutilates a child’s physical body to allow that child to make believe they are a gender other than what science says they are…that is the worst of the worst kind of extreme child abuse crime. That is consistent with the thinking and actions of Josef Rudolf Mengele, physician, Nazi SS officer, referred to as the “Angel of Death” during the 1930’s and 1940’s.

And then there is the perversion and degenerate activity that has become popular…drag queen shows for children as young as 3. I can hardly conceive a more debauched and depraved activity than this! A group of scientifically proven males dressed up in the most hideous costumes pretending to be females and corrupting not just the minds of children…but corrupting their very souls.

How as a society, one that was founded on morals and correct principles, devolve to a point where this disgusting and completely morally bankrupt activity takes place? And how can our elected officials not only tolerate it, but encourage it?

How totally void of morals, ethics, principles, and decency does a person have to be to take part in this kind of utter evil against children?

As for the parents who take their children to such events…there will be a day of reckoning…if not in this life, then the next.

Stop denying science…assist biological males to be MEN…assist biological females to be WOMEN!!

Summary –

Man, long posts over the last two days to be sure…but I had to get some of that crap off my chest. It has been bugging me since early last week. But I wasn’t sure how I wanted to write it up…I am glad I waited.

The evil in the world wants to corrupt truth into lies. The evil in the world wants to somehow make science only applicable and true when it benefits them, the evil ones. The evil in the world wants to corrupt the good in the world because it despises all that is good and decent.

The best way to avoid evil taking hold in your life, in your family, is to know truth…and hold to that iron rod of truth! Do not be swayed! Do not tolerate evil! Do not allow evil people and evil ideas into your life…not even one iota!

Read truth, watch truth, listen to truth, embrace truth, and only truth. When it comes to being open minded…it doesn’t apply to that which is evil…reject evil completely and totally and immediately!

Take care folks…and I mean that sincerely. I am a believer in, and a student of, history. And I can’t remember ever reading about more global evil being present in the world than what we have today. Evil is claiming more and more people, destroying more souls and lives, but you can fight it and you can win!

 

 

Find the truth, hold on to the truth, and fight evil at every turn.

My head wants to explode because of science deniers…part 1

stuff that makes AH Trimble's head explodeYeah, I didn’t write much while I took my week off over Thanksgiving…but I did do a little reading and some research as you would have guessed. And while doing so…I found some things that just wanted to make my head explode. Mainly, I want people to STOP DENYING SCIENCE!!

Yup, stop being a science denier…yes, you…yes, me…yes, them…yes, everybody!

Those 6 “explode my head” things are…

#1 – A Christian organization, Faithful America, has started a petition protesting Trump’s 2024 campaign. And they are asking Christians to “speak out” against Trump running for president. The petition amassed close to 15,000 signatures of their 20,000 signature goal.

Well, I decided to look into who they are…and guess what…they are a radical liberal group trying to pass themselves off as Christians. Now, they may well be Christians individually, but their organization is truly liberal, progressive, or anything but solid doctrine followers of Christ. So we have to be ever vigilant to not be misled by a name alone. And yes, they are mostly pro-Catholic that adamantly support Pope Francis. And yes, they are also eco-nazis.

And speaking of Pope Francis, did you know he is not just a believer in “humanism” he is a hardcore preacher of it? More than a dozen sermons advocating for it in the last few years. Yup! And just for a second think about this…”humanism” is essentially placing the individual and society above God, depending primarily on science and technology, from liberal education sources, to solve problems vs looking to God’s guidance and eternal truths to guide us. Humanism is its own morality. Yeah, go figure…a global church leader, a religious leader of over 1 billion people…a leader who places human knowledge and capability above that of God.

#2 – In 2016 Dallas Police Department used a robot to kill a suspect. Yup, no arrest, no charges, no trial, no jury, no judge…no nothing. The DPD just decided the suspect needed to be killed…even though he was no imminent threat to anyone at the time. His suspected crime…a cop killer. What? Cops wanting to outright kill someone they thought was a cop killer??? Noooooo…say it ain’t so.

When I first heard of this event I was appalled and worried at the time, and wrote an article about it for another website. I cautioned that this would become the norm and take decision making out of the hands of actual people and place the life and death of US citizens in the hands of machines. And since then I have written about the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and its increased use…against humans. And I have written about the US federal government use of drones to kill Americans, mostly overseas. Well, now it is normalized and right here in Amerika.

A month ago a city council in the US voted unanimously to approve the use of robots to kill people. Yes, obviously, to kill people who are suspected of crimes…the key word being “suspected” as you can guess. And now, guess which state in the US this city is located? Well, just think the state most like Communist China with all of its anti-citizen repression and anti-rights suppression? Yup! You guessed it…California. And now guess which city…think the most racial leftist, socialist city in the Communist State of Kalifornia. Bingo! You are batting 100%…San Francisco!

So think about this folks…no arrest, no charges, no trial, no jury, no judge, no due process…no nothing…just a robot sent in to kill a living breathing human being. How’s that make you feel about where we are headed as a country and people? Oh wait, we are already perfectly fine with a multilayered surveillance society…so why not be perfectly fine with government that kill you via machine with ZERO due process…hell, murder with no human even pulling the trigger. Sure will get the LEOs off the hook more!

Let’s stop denying science…or rather…let’s stop using science and technology from killing people on demand.

#3 – Research just released shows over 70% of children 7 – 12 years old are now fearful, scared of, climate change. Yeah, scared of something that has been taking place for millions of years is now the new boogie man and scaring our kids to death. Gotta love it!

I am not a science denier for sure!! The climate is changing…has been for a very long time…that is proven science. And now for a minute let’s say man is a large contributor to that…hell, let’s say mankind is the #1 contributor driving up CO2 and related emissions.

So, that being said there were approximately 200 private jets that flew to COP26 & COP27 Climate Summits (2021 & 2022). The EU’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) says that each flight emitted 43.5 metric tonnes of climate destroying emissions, that is 95,900 US pounds of environment killing vapors. But don’t forget…there were 200 flights…that is just shy of 20million pounds of planet ruining emissions…one way. Yeah, that is 40 million pounds round trip.

So doing the math…our climate saviors, the best of the world’s elites, (about 300 people) dumped the same amount of poison into the environment in two weeks as about 2,300 Americans do…for a whole year!

Oh wait, that doesn’t include the ground transportation emissions for our betters, our elites, to talk about what to do to save the planet from poisonous emissions. Oh wait, and that doesn’t include the poisons from the air conditioning for the luxury hotels they stayed in. Oh wait, that doesn’t include the poisons from the manufacture of the private jets they flew in or vehicles they rode in.

So I have a list of science based ideas:

  1. All private jets must be turned over to a global organization that will recycle every component in them, turn those materials into cash, and distribute that cash to the poorest of the poor in Africa. Of course, no compensation to those jet owners who turned in those private jets…it is their reparations for their destruction of the planet.
  2. The US government will turn over all non-tactical, non-logistical aircraft (including Air Force One) to the same agency as mentioned in #1 for the same processing.
  3. To protect our ocean’s coasts and prevent further damage to the coastline and oceans, all beach front homes (those within a ½ mile of the ocean’s coasts) will be carefully torn down and those building supplies will be used to create free homes for disabled veterans of their respective countries. Of course, no compensation to those home owners…it is their reparations for their destruction of the planet.
  4. All homes larger than 5,000sqft that use utility produced heat/electric will be processed the same as #3. Of course, no compensation to those home owners either…it is their reparations for their destruction of the planet.
  5. Any limousine, or similar vehicle, will be surrendered to the agency mentioned in #1 for processing that dismantles the vehicle and recycles all usable parts. The proceeds from the project will be turned over for feeding homeless veterans of their respective countries. Of course, no compensation to those vehicle owners…it is their reparations for their destruction of the planet.
  6. To further reduce emissions and reduce the national budget/debt, all federal politicians will be responsible for their own transportation to/from work, walking or bikes. Federal buildings will have their thermostats set at 80 during the summer and 65 during the winter to further decrease emissions and the budget/debt. And further more…to truly save energy, reduce emissions, and cut the national budget…Congress will only meet twice a year for a session and for one 1 week each session. And yes, the sessions will be held in mid-July and mid-January…and certainly complying with federal thermostat standards.

What do you think? A good start!!?? Of course no federal politician, elitist, environmental advocate, federal employee, or corporation should voice a single objection…any objection would show they would be in favor of killing the planet along with killing our children and grandchildren.

But not to fear…the UK is here! The citizens of the UK have seen 200 – 400% increase in energy bills in the last year. Some residents can’t even come close to paying their energy bills. But not to worry…the UK government just issued a statement saying they will be cutting off subsidies to their citizens that helped the poor pay for luxuries such as heat and electricity. And they are cutting that off just before winter really sets in.

But the UK government has a solution…reduce the thermostats in your homes, and stop using rooms in your house, and then close those rooms off. So how many government offices does that apply to????

And why would they stop those payments right before winter? Oh wait…they just agreed to pay climate reparations to other countries to the tunes of billions of equivalent US dollars. Way to go!!!!! Globalism first!!! Screw our own citizens!!!!

So let’s stop denying science…let’s get the rich elites and government lackeys to set the example to stop climate destruction!! Let them show us mere mortals, the great unwashed, how it’s done…apply science…SHOW us by your actions how to stop killing the planet.


So today’s “3” things that make my head explode are calm, temperate, and mild compared to tomorrow’s! Come on back and enjoy yourself reading Part #2 🙂

Garden: Winterized Strawberries

My strawberry venture has been an interesting one this year to be sure. First, I started out and killed the initial 8 strawberry plants…$32 down the drain! But I learned not to trust others when it came to my food. Or rather, I learned to trust my own judgement and to do things right no matter what. In case you don’t remember…the compost I used initially was still really chemically hot with nitrogen. It burned the roots of all my new plants.

After having watered the boxes several times a day for multiple days I bought 6 new plants and went at it again. Success!!

Then expanded the patch with “daughter” plants and more boxes, then expanded it again with the mega box. But finally, it was time to put the plants to bed for the winter. I do this to prevent damage to the plants themselves during the cold and freezing months of winter. Fortunately we don’t have severe winter weather here so I can let the plants go till late November and still get growth out of them.

Granted, this is the first year doing so here on the glamstead so we will have to wait till spring to see how it worked out. But, it should work out fine since I did my research for this particular area…including speaking with experienced gardeners. And if you want to ensure success for your patch in your area…check with the locals as well…you will be very glad you did.

First thing I do is clear out any dry, brown, or diseased looking leaves and stems. I smooth out the mulch and then water the plants/boxes thoroughly.

Next comes at least 3″ of straw on and around the plants.

And yet another reason to not fill the box up to the top with dirt…leave room for things like mulch and winter straw. Now, nothing left to do till spring 🙂

Oh, final tally on the patch…6 plants have turned into 42 plants. The mega box has plenty of room to expand the existing 12 plants with 12 more “daughter” plants at the end of next growing season. Giving me a total of 54 plants from 6 starter plants. Not bad math if you ask me.

Yup, I will keep you posted on how things go in the spring.

And yes, I will still be doing more gardening work during the winter. I am getting ready to plant 15 raspberry plants/canes in January. A neighbor/friend of ours offered for us to dig up some of his seasonal runners. Sweet! I will post and article on that “bare root” planting project as well.

And yes, you should be thinking about raspberry and blackberry planting for this winter as well. I am telling you flat out…get your food production capability to a point where it will at least be a reasonable supplement to your family’s overall food consumption. You will be healthier, you will save money, and you will be preparing your skill-set for when you might well need gardening to keep your families bellies full and alive.

And along with way…you will feel a true sense of peace and calm that comes with tending a garden and watching yourself take part in life…real life.

Avoided Crypto Loss !

AH Trimble Feedback and Comments

  • Thank you! Thank You ! THANK YOU!!!

We had money in Bitcoin and we had basically broken even when we found your site and read the info on crypto you wrote. We got out right then. Had we not sold we would have lost a lot of money we did not have to lose.

How did you know what was coming?


I did my research, applied common sense, and stuck to the basic rules (i.e. If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.). Plus, the economy just can’t support junk crap like that. Heck, the economy can’t really, and won’t be able to, handle much of anything…probably nothing.

I am really happy to hear that you didn’t lose money. I just saw today that the crypto market has recently lost well over a trillion dollars. Yup, I told everyone it would happen!! Glad some folks such as yourself listened and took steps to avoid trouble.

Sad part…we are just seeing the surface of the bubbles that are, and will, burst. It is looking real bad. I am seeing some disjointed information points showing up on economic matters. I am trying to sort it out…but it looks bad at this point, maybe even really bad.

Hey Folks…I am taking the week off

Here’s the deal…I am taking the week off. We have family in town all week for Thanksgiving…and besides that I am a little burned out. All the political crap from the election, all the screwy stuff regarding the economy, it has just taken a bit of a toll on me. And add to that 2 recent unexpected deaths of close friends…well, I just a little time off with the teenage nieces and nephews…and lot’s of good food.

I hope you understand.

Now, that being said, I already have some great articles in the works and I will be back at it on the 28th. See you then!

 

 

 

 

TIP : Solar – Check/Tighten All Connections…regularly

A dangerous, potentially catastrophic, situation developed with my solar system and I was almost unaware of it. Thankfully I caught it in time and learned a couple lessons along the way. And that is what I will share with you today.

I run a 150/70 Victron MPPT SmartCharger…a charge controller that converts the solar panel power into usable power that charges my batteries and provides power to the inverter during daylight hours. The 150 represents the incoming voltage from the solar panels, the 70 represents the amperage (current) going into the inverter and batteries.

Normally we push about 82vDC from the panels into the charge controller. And the charge controller runs about 45 – 50amps into the batteries/inverter under normal conditions. It can run a high as 70amps in early fall or on some summer days. In the winter it can go as low as 35 – 40amps due to the solar elevation. Obviously it can go down noticeably as cloud cover increases.

When I installed the charge controller I used a standard wire size calculator for 70a, less than 10’ (round trip) circuit. That showed that 6AWG wire was plenty good enough, well within the requirements. And I wanted the circuit fused to protect the charge controller and the rest of the system, so I went with an 80a ANL fuse. And since I didn’t want the wire to act as a fuse I upgraded the wire to 4AWG, which is capable of 80a when used in a less than 15’ (round trip) circuit. Yup, all set!

About 2 months ago I was looking over the system on a particularly sunny early fall afternoon with the sun at the perfect solar elevation for my panels. I was hitting the 70a max for the charge controller. But not to worry, the charge controller will throttle the output amperage at 70a and not let it go above that limit. It does that by limiting the input power from the panels. Well, something prompted me to touch the 4AWG wire between the charge controller and the ANL fuse. Ah…hot!

For some reason, and I mean unknown, I had used 2AWG between the main busbar and the ANL fuse, but used 4AWG between the fuse and the charge controller. Please don’t ask me why, I don’t remember. I probably ran out of 2AWG and didn’t want to go buy a 1’ piece of 2AWG…but I wasn’t worried about it because 4AWG was a full size above what was required anyways.

But the 2AWG wire on the battery side of the fuse was not hot at all. Hummm….. I wrote it off as being the peak 70a current due to the sun intensity, panel angle, and solar elevation. A month later I was looking over the system again and noticed a slight discoloration to the 4AWG wire, I touched it, it was real warm, not hot, but real warm. The 2AWG below the fuse was room temperature. Problem! But I couldn’t figure it out, not to worry, the fuse would protect the system no matter what…and it was high quality 105c degree rated insulation on the wire so I wasn’t particularly.

A couple of weeks later I was once again looking over the system and noticed my red electrical tape on the aforementioned 4AWG wire, used as makeshift heat shrink, had flagged on me and an end was sticking out. 40A current showing on the charge controller and the wire was real warm. OK, I am not the brightest bulb on the tree but I realized I had to cure this problem. I wasn’t sure what the problem was…but it had to be fixed whatever it was. And since I didn’t know for sure what the problem actually was, it was my intention to replace the 4AWG wire with 2AWG, new terminal lug, proper heat shrink, and replace the 80a ANL fuse, maybe even the fuse holder if needed.

Now…left turn for a minute. While researching my upcoming system upgrade I learned that using wire ferrules on the battery wire going into the charge controller is considered “best practice” for a number of reasons, all of which made perfect sense. So I was sure that my wire overheating came from that lack of wire ferrule when I first put the system together 2.5 years ago. I now have the tool and wire ferrules…this “fix” would be a great trial run for me.

Well, the day came for the “great fix”…full batteries, informed the wife of the need for low power consumption, and gathered all of my tools and parts. Shut down the panel power input, disconnected the batteries from the charge controller, tested all the wires to make sure the charge controller was isolated, and double checked everything once again.

I went to disconnect the charge controller to battery ring terminal from the fuse and immediately knew what the problem was.

About a year ago I was reading on how to maintain a solar system and one of the points made was to check all electrical connections, then tighten or replace as needed. Ah, well, the nut holding down the ring terminal on the charge controller side of the fuse was actually loose. Yup, loose…and that was the problem.

You see if a terminal connection is loose it becomes a high resistance connection and that generates heat. The hotter the terminal gets, the weaker it becomes, and this continues until it shows up as a critical failure. But the question remains…why did it become loose? I know for a fact that when I did the initial install I tightened it correctly…period. But, as I thought about it…all the times the ring terminal connection heated up, then cooled down, then heated up, then cooled down…over and over again nearly 2,600 times. The nut simply loosened itself due to the continuous heating and cooling. And I never once checked my connections to see if everything was still tight.

Well, I replaced everything as needed, making sure everything was properly tightened. Everything is fine now, the system is running as designed, wire is room temperature, and I am sleeping a little better. Then I took the old fuse apart this morning. Oooooppppppsssssss…

See the picture for more information, but, the fuse was burnt as it should be but not 100% separated at the element. Thus, current/power was still flowing to the batteries/inverter but was several impeded.

Needless to say…I will be setting up a schedule to perform maintenance just as advised.

Well, well, well…the GOP has spoken…and they suck!

The Senate GOP members just put McConnell in as their leader. Seems appropriate…the leader of the losing party…the leader of the party who blew a sure GOP victory into an embarrassing and humiliating defeat. A defeat where the GOP actually lost ground in the Senate. McConnell is the right figurehead for that debacle to be sure!

He is the main/primary reason the GOP didn’t gain control of the Senate…he pulled 10’s of millions of dollars out of two key Senate races that the GOP should have won, Arizona and New Hampshire. And he did so with just two weeks to go, knowing full well it would cost both GOP candidates the chance of being elected, and both unseating a Democrat, and assuring a GOP Senate majority.

So a person should naturally ask…Why would he do such a thing intentionally? Why would he purposely lose two key Senate races and thus knowingly lose control of the Senate? Huuummmmm…..

So the GOP appears to have taken control of the House of Representatives and they have, in their infinite wisdom, selected Kevin McCarthy as their leader. Oh Yea!

Now, who is Kevin McCarthy…he has been in politics all his adult working life…he is a career politician…McCarthy has never held a real job. He wasn’t pro-life until 2015, before then he was very pro-abortion. In 2018 an investigation showed how McCarthy’s brother-in-law’s company, Vortex Construction, had received $7.6 million since 2000 in no-bid and other prime federal contracts in California.

Now let’s talk about McCarthy’s net worth…$95,000,000!! Yeah, after a life-long career as politician, and no inheritances that I can find, at the age of 57, he is worth $95million. Tell me how you think that is possible?

Oh, maybe from his salary as a member of the House of Representatives…making $310,000 per year. See…if he saved every single dollar and penny from his House salary he would have saved up…oh, only 1/10th of his net worth.

Oh, but wait… McCarthy and his family live in an 8,800square-foot luxury mansion located in California that’s worth $21million. Oh, but wait…he drives a Jaguar XF, ($120,000), a Lexus ES ($136,000), a Lincoln Continental, an Aston Martin DBX, a BMW X6, and a Toyota Vellfire. Yeah, the Velfire, at the low-end of his personal vehicle fleet, costs…well, the base model starts at $107,000. So folks…you do the math.

GOP leadership sucks…and you know it!

In the last…well, you pick the number of years…what has the GOP party done for the country to restore freedoms, liberties, rights? What practical steps have they taken to reign in control of the increasingly authoritarian federal government? Oh, wait…it was Republicans, Bush #2 and a Republican Congress, that gave the USA a huge boost towards losing massive rights, freedoms, and liberties in 2001! It was the Republicans that hammered in the final nail giving us an authoritarian US federal government that is crushing us 20 years later.

America is doomed with the Dems and Repubs running the show!

Cryptocurrency…Idiots…FTX…Evil…

I warned you and warned you and warned you about cryptocurrency!

I hope you listened…I have been warning you in really plain terms for four years that cryptocurrency is a complete hoax and something to stay far, far away from. Again, I hoped you listened.

Let’s start off with the easiest and most obvious…return on investment. When I started posting my articles about the sheer stupidity of cryptocurrency (2/2021) Bitcoin was hovering around $58,000…it’s now $16,450. Yeah, that means a 72% loss in less than 2 years. In June when I warned folks that they be prepared to lose all of their money, Bitcoin was $21,230…it’s now $16,450. Yeah, that means a 23% loss in just at 5 months. Let’s recap this for you…if you bought Bitcoin in February of 2021, as of today, Bitcoin would have to go up more than 350% for you to just break even.

How does that sound as a great investment!?!?

And please, don’t give me that crap about it being a currency…IT ISN’T! It is a barter/trade item like any commodity…an item/commodity with ZERO intrinsic value.

And please don’t give me that crap about it being super private and hidden from tracking, especially hidden from tracking by the government…IT ISN’T! The IRS has already admitted publicly that it tracks ALL cryptocurrency transactions and they know both the buyers and the sellers of each transaction. And if it supposedly can’t be tracked…then how are 100’s of millions of it stolen every year? Hummmmm????

And that now brings me to the “theft” aspect of this post…to the tune of billions of $’s of cryptocurrency…but it is even worse than that.

Let’s talk about “FTX” shall we…

FTX is a cryptocurrency exchange, third largest in the world. Meaning you can store your cryptocurrency there, trade among different cryptocurrencies, outright buy/sell your cryptocurrency, etc. Well, on 11/12 the new CEO of FTX said that effective immediately the company was turning off the ability of customers to trade or withdraw funds from their accounts. Why?

That is where it gets interesting…but wait for the rest of the story…for now understand this…on Friday 11/12 then current CEO and founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, resigned. Why did he resign? Maybe it had to do with FTX filing bankruptcy earlier that day. Why did FTX file bankruptcy? Maybe it had to do with billions of $’s (yes, BILLIONS) missing from FTX accounts.

But wait…early analysis shows that approximately $633million went missing (i.e. stolen) from FTX accounts as FTX was filing for bankruptcy on Friday. But wait…total stolen/missing funds from FTX are estimated to be as much as $10 – $50 BILLION dollars!!

And amazingly enough…none of the pre-bankruptcy leadership can’t be found anywhere. Imagine that!

Could it get any worse? Of course it could…and does!

Sam Bankman-Fried, the FTX CEO who resigned last Friday, and who is currently missing, donated about $40,000,000 (40 million $’s) to the Democrats for the 2022 mid-term elections. Total combined donations could hit $100million from those associated with Bankman-Fried. And there are substantial reports that he personally had pledged $1BILLION to the Democrats for the 2024 presidential elections. And of course Bankman-Fried was one of the top 3 donors to the Democrats for the 2020 presidential election.

Let’s add one more wrinkle to this evil…

Sam Bankman-Fried was a personal friend of both the Clintons and the Bidens. And Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden were both big supporters of, and directly involved in, overthrowing the Ukrainian government some 8 years ago. And yup, you guessed it, there is also a link between FTX and the current Ukraine government (the same government that Clinton/Biden put into power) since their war with Russia broke out. It appears that US aid dollars that were sent to Ukraine got placed with FTX…then FTX donated heavily to the Democrats for the 2022 mid-term elections,, and the Ukraine account at FTX is one of many accounts that is missing funds. And many of those donated dollars ended up directly back into the pockets of…wait for it…Bidens & Clintons among other Democrats.

And folks…this is just scratching the surface of what was and is going on with cryptocurrency.

I hope you listened. Cryptocurrency isn’t just a scam, it is outright fraud, it is outright political evil…and it is dangerous…more so than many have any concept of.
