Just A Thought

 Word salad sentences.  I find these when I reread things that I have previously tried to express and write about.  These are the times when I realize that I surely could have come up with more clear and concise ways of expressing what I was thinking, or trying to say.  Editing word salad sentences is a good brain exercise opportunity.  Words are like a magic elixir to intelligent comprehension.  The challenge is in finding just the right words to capture and describe thoughts, emotions and experiences. 

 I downloaded the Instagram app briefly to see a family member’s silly post 🫢 and I also happened to see this video.  AI videos now look way too real.  People really do capture videos of crazy things that really happen, but it sucks that now we can’t ever trust anything that we see.  We have to open people’s accounts to try to figure it out.  I just wasted a lot of time watching all sorts of dumb stuff because I went on Instagram.  Screw social media.  It sucks even more now. ☹️  Just where exactly is humanities future heading? Only time will tell.  Parents having babies nowadays have no way of even predicting what kind of world their children will be living in.  This is a time in history like no other.  We now live in a world where technology can potentially change everything at any time and where we are all headed is not even predictable.  How will technology and AI change the world?  Who knows.  Video below is fak...

We had a very nice December meeting and a fun and successful Yankee Swap gift exchange.  It always makes me happy to be involved with and to do things for my fellow chapter members!😄🎄🎉

 Our president just yesterday shared this on his Truth Social account.   Among numerous other things.  Washington you have a problem.  Your government is in crisis. 

 I’ll bet that perhaps there are other countries that watch the American saga unfold with awe and bated breath to see how long America will ignore the reality of the condition of their president.  I mean, he chopped off 1/3 of the White House.  What if Trump is never able to oversee the completion of his ballroom?  I guess America might just have a 2/3rds White House. 😲😂

 Trump is crashing, but I’m sure there are far more American people who don’t know about or read this stuff than those who do.  It doesn’t make me happy to share that he writes these terrible things.  I guess what makes me happy is venting about it and sharing evidence about what so many American people, for whatever reason, failed to understand about Donald Trump.  I know that Donald Trump has never been a saint or good man by any stretch of the imagination, but I understand that he also doesn’t have control over the state of his mind when he is experiencing dementia.  He regularly believes all sorts of untrue things and fails to understand how completely unacceptable are the things that he is now openly stating, because that is the state that his mind is in.  

It’s not great timing to not be feeling well right before a holiday.  I’m not full blown sick but just feeling under the weather and nkt up to doing much.  I feel better resting but then worse after trying to be active.  The house is just going to be as it is this year.  Oh well, everyone who is going to be here is already here along with their stuff in the kitchen.  We will have Thanksgiving dinner and that is something to be thankful for.  I heard a lady on TV (or maybe it was online) saying that her family will just be having a normal meal because of the cost of food and it might be spaghetti.   I always wondered if the stimulus checks that everyone received during Covid had anything to do with the crazy inflation.  That seemed to be starting point for prices for everything increasing so much!  If Trump really sent out $2000 checks to everyone, that would only make things even worse I’m guessing.  Of course nothing that he says can be...

Trump likes Mandani.  Wow.  This is bizarre.  Trump likes a Dem and a Muslim. 😱  What has come over him?  Mamdani must have worked some kind of magic on him.  Maybe he is a Trump whisperer.  You would think that Trump could learn something from this experience.  It’s evidently not something that he can process though.  https://youtu.be/n1Whuh64neg?si=oKQlMz1_hbcdPjz0

  Sorry, subscription services.  People are going to be canceling and not subscribing to y’all as much in Donald Trump’s America.  People won’t have much left after food and rent and health insurance if they can even afford those.  And here is an opinion of mine about SNAP.  There are a lot of Americans who are working full-time and more whose wages are too low to cover all their basic necessities as citizens in America.  These people don’t need SNAP because they aren’t working and trying to be self-sufficient.  They need SNAP because of unlivable wages that are becoming orders of magnitude even more unlivable in the America that Donald Trump is seeking to create and is creating.  

Good story but not of course for the people who found themselves unwell on the flight.  https://youtu.be/odpibIeCP7s?si=BVqfbxVampefF78h

 I really don’t know anything about Sudan or what is going on there.  Nobody talks about Sudan.  When I was in 4th grade my class was given the assignment of writing our first ever reports.  Well sort of.  I guess it was an exercise in learning about encyclopedias and looking things up in them.  We were all assigned a topic and we just had to look up our topics in an encyclopedia at the library and just copy some information from the encyclopedia.  My topic was the country Sudan. 

 For whatever reasons, America is a nation of overweight people.  Not everyone of course, but millions upon millions of Americans are overweight or obese by medical definitions.  There is a lot of focus on Trump’s health by the independent news channels that I like to watch on YouTube.  I think they need to stop fat shaming Trump though.  I do understand the comments, though, particularly since Trump thinks he is the finest and fittest and healthiest specimen for his age that there ever was.  He’s not that obese though.  There are a very large number of American people who are significantly more overweight than he is, so I think all the comments about him being so fat are actually insensitive to all the good American people who are the same or even heavier than he is.  A lot of these younger independent news people will also eventually have the experience of growing older and gaining weight. 

  https://youtu.be/9KPpN030irw?si=UFyaUOjgfroT3vm6 I thought so.  I saw this when Trump posted it and I thought it sounded crazy and really hard to believe.  I did notice that when he posted the fake video about med beds and med bed cards, that seemed to be the last time that anyone persuaded him to remove any of his posts.  After that they just left him to post whatever he wanted and they didn’t do anything about it no matter how crazy his posts were.  I was glad about this because the truth should be known and not hidden.  He should be in a residence for the elderly and be receiving care and not be holding the office of the presidency.  

There is no dissent from his will and authority allowed in the United States of America.  Only those in complete alliance and compliance with his mindset and will can be considered to be patriots of our country under the leadership of Donald J. Trump.  This is not what our country is about.  His attempts to maintain his authoritarian power will only become worse and more blatantly intolerable.  He can’t be gone soon enough.  He will see his own downfall in the United States of America. 🇺🇸 He won’t win.   

 Hooray for the American voters in the year 2025!  👏👍 🇺🇸  🎉  There is light at the end of the tunnel of America’s current political mess. 🤩 https://youtu.be/hN5bdb-ALpY?si=GoSc3mj8sfqbuPXK

My parents recently stopped to visit Jekyll Island, while traveling home from Florida.  I remember the story was told that the US Federal Reserve was first formed during a secretive meeting on Jekyll Island.  My family members thought I was a bit odd for knowing such an odd bit of historical information.  Anyway I wanted to confirm this story with ChatGPT and received the following.  I also learned a little more about Jekyll Island.  Jekyll Island has a turtle rehabilitation center.  Jekyll Island also has some serious driftwood!  I wonder where such large driftwood came from.  I haven’t googled or asked ChatGPT this question yet.  It is funny how there is now a choice from where to search for answers to these kind of questions.  It’s just the new normal for human beings. Evidently the driftwood on driftwood beach is from a once thriving maritime forest on Jekyll Island itself.  

  I love this about the Rio Grande Valle y!  Any occasion is a good occasion for a little evergreen tree cheer.  I’m not a football fan, but I still like the football season tree. 🏈 🌲 😄 🌲 

  I just read something about kite flying.  Back in the day when I was young, we flew kites using only the small spools of string with no handles.  I believe we looked for sturdy enough sticks to put through the spools to hold onto them with.  I was always quite terrified of having the string pulled out of my hands and then losing my kite.  An airborne kite on a breezy day could really pull on the spool of string.  This is why it was important to find a good stick.  It was always fun though to fly a kite.  Do kids nowadays go outside and do things like fly kites.  I know the world with its technology is now very different, but kids are still kids.  I guess the question is whether they have the time and opportunity to do these kinds of things and someone to show them older activities that are fun, even if anxiety provoking.  I remember the kite store in Provincetown Cape Cod with all its big and fancy kites.  I never had enough ...

 Radical left lunatics.  That favorite phrase of Donald Trump says it all.  He does not believe in democracy.  He does not want to have to deal with a pesky political party other than his own.  He just wants to run his authoritarian dictatorship with no obstacles or opposition.  He wants to have authority like President Xi of China, whose country he has stated has a good system and gets things done very quickly.  The American people need to defeat the Republicans in 2026, so Trump cannot further and gain more power in his ambitions to remain in power and control the United States of America through his dictatorship.  I do though question how much longer he will maintain any coherent mental functioning, given the state of decline that he is already in.
