The Wild West needs good hatters to settle it, so let's educate and not add to these problems.

-----------------

Here in Wyoming, it's been Drytember. We need rain very badly! Sadly, this stagnant pattern is repeating itself and will continue into October. Some trees already are changing, not by temperature, but by shorter days being experienced. I'm also looking forward to viewing the Comet C2023/A3 Atlas as the outlook for it is promising.

In Arkansas news, talk about a female trooper having to use lethal force against an intoxicated illegal alien has been in their headlines. I'd like ASP to require two-trooper units whenever one is a female. It's not just Arkansas which has issues from men not wanting to be bossed around by women! There was one dispatch job I was eliminated from consideration many years back. Ultimately, it was certain politics which led to the decision, but the question given me was "Do you have any issues with a woman supervisor?" and the answer is simply "As long as that person is sufficiently qualified and trained, I could care less about their gender." To this day, this sixty-clubber feels no different, although in reality, some women cannot handle the same situation on the same level as men do. Still, there are notable exceptions which women absolutely can rule and dominate a proper response(s). The best answer I can give? Judgement and hardened experience(s) speaks for itself!

As expected, the weaponized alphabets of the District of Criminals continue their foot-dragging regarding both attempts on The Donald's life. Add to that, which occurred in Tuscon with many seated near the former President suffering serious issues, many requiring hospitalization. Swollen-shut eyes were the most obvious. Still, nobody seems to know what the cause is. "Just give it several news cycles." Right.. It's bullshit! Now, when will we get release of the complete Nashville Trans shooter's Manifesto? Copyrights? Sounds like the judge has too much music on her mind.

Hurricane Helene is a significant news maker. She was Cat 4 and made landfall in Florida's Big Bend. Dozens are dead throughout Dixieland. The biggest headache, and NWS/NHC was rightfully worried about it, was her stalling out well-inland. Ongoing rescues and severe communications issues are problematic in and close to the TN/NC Smoky Mountain area, this goes into October so expect at least an update. So far, The Swamp Critters in DC could care less. Trump has done more, Musk is also granting use of many StarLink setups for interconnectivity. Radio Amateurs are working to bring communications, too. Note the 80 meter voice frequency is just 500 Hz off the Wyoming Cowboy Net, although in the Big Scheme of Things, they're two time zones away and the net operates for maybe an hour in evening hours. My prayers certainly are with those affected by this miserable situation. Let's bring adults back into the Federal Government's Executive so these can be handled, instead of conveniently placed on the shelf due to political differences. I seriously doubt we'd see this outcome if Seattle, Las Vegas, Austin, Chicago were affected in such a manner.

Yes, there are meaningful ways which Bitcoin mining consumes energy which would be otherwise wasted, such as the portable miners burning waste gas. There's also another result, unforseen by most where this happens! It makes me reflect on why Texas has gotten so many BTC mining houses and the effects it has on their already-strained grid. I must remind the Lone Star State that we're in a weak La Nina pattern and under certain conditions, another nasty Winter surprise(s) may be wrought.

This was inevitable. Colorado has long banned them in grocery stores, so has Alaska. I've met customers from both states who noted their surprise, shopping here in Wyoming and getting plastic bags. However, many customers also request paper bags, although way more expensive than the thin bags, barely able to handle the nine pound weight of a milk gallon. California has banned plastic bags, per this Yahoo story.

23andMe seeks to go private so their independent directors resign en masse, but I bet this won't change the fact they willingly give data to courts and law enforcement. When you submit a sample to learn more, it seems you're snitching on your family tree!

The SEC Securities and Exchange Commission, has removed several alt coins from their list of securities. Still, until Bitcoin ETF appetite suffers a correction, expect significant action on ETH, SOL ETF's to be subpar underperforming. Some predict that turnaround happens in October or later, yet I'm rather giddy that HEX/pHEX/eHEX is already on a tear! Few expected eHEX, the original HEX on ETH chain, to rebound so nicely, around a 2x or .00284 USD as I typed this. ETH has recently rebounded from near 2300 USD to near 2700 USD. Hexicans; It's important to remember that the entire RH ecosystem gets significant backing from over 170,000 ETH backing it, reportedly in the OA or Origin Address. Personally, I've not been able to fully verify this on the chain.

Plains, GA celebrates Jimmy Carter's 100th birthday on 9/30. NPR has a decent photo gallery of the man. Most didn't expect him to hang on this long, being in hospice for a while now. The irony is how he's more loved for his post-President service.

There are several OBITS:
Dane Maggie Smith at 89.

Kris Kristofferson dead at 88. This songwriting legend was incredibly intelligent and talented on many levels, including several acting roles. Although he had numerous album releases, his part of the Highwaymen and their two albums remain country music mainstays. Now, only Willie remains in that quartet.

Baseball legend Pete Rose dies at 83. Gen Z likely doesn't have the story on him and it goes back to alleged gambling on other baseball games, which Rose denied. So will he ever be placed in the sport's Hall of Fame?

If my paternal grandmother were still here, she'd turn 104 on 9/30. I still think of her, today!

Now on to October,
Gracias & Alles Liebe,

-----------------

This post covers August and essentially the first half of September. I finally have enough time to get this composed and added. Thanks so much for viewing.

 August was interesting! More on the first half of September later on as it's getting very SERIOUS! My right hand was released back into the regular working world at the first of August, doing quite well! So far as I know, my Worker's Comp claim has progressed. If it doesn't, then a third party will have messed something up. Management has, at least for now, given me something I desire. FEWER hours to work! Remember, I DO NOT require this employment, the work getting me amongst locals and really good team members. If nothing else, it slows down the money burn as I await the bulls to arrive in what I have the most of. My tax affairs are handled by a professional firm west of me and have the $$ to pay the 2023 liabilities, plus more in the bank, and I don't have to worry about any more Cheyenne Screwups! At least I've not had the Wolf or worse knocking on the door and have things here helping my security. My next tax bill is due just after the Elections in November, but I have both insurance bills on the vehicle/home as well as registration due in October. This is an expensive time of the year and at least I don't have to stress about having to withdraw from the main account, meant for the tax bills.

 From the present BUZZ in crypto, which I keep up with the trends - I've been made aware that Bitcoin, presently stuck near the 60k support as of this submission, should again be making the next upward swing toward 80k, then to 100k by year-end. Since an ETF also exists for Ethereum, it's speculated a near-doubling to at least 5k USD by late Winter if not earlier. ETH will very likely lag BTC, but it too should gain steam. This will be a huge benefit for any leveraged L1 forks of ETH as PLS/PLSX, flowing into HEX in particular as it has gigantic backing by ETH. Furthermore, I plan to hang on to my eHEX (HEX on the original ETH chain) as it could well spike toward the latter of the bull market, I think late 2025/early 2026. Those deep-diving into PLS/PLSX can either HODL or use in LP (Liquidity Provider) and doing so will earn users the INC or Incentive Coin, tradeable on PLS Exchange (using PLSX for gas fees.) It should be capable of a 5x pump by Christmas from what's being read in the tea leaves. DISCLOSURE: As of this submission, I HODL all the aforementioned, except for Bitcoin and have stake positions on both eHEX & pHEX (copied HEX on PLS chain).

 Interesting news regarding phyzz silver; I keep some in a vault and that's no secret. It's taken quite a while for truly breaking news to arrive regarding gold's little brother, easily the most manipulated market on the planet! Both InfoWars and Kitco has noted the Samsung battery technology with a EV range being touted of 600 miles (1k kM) and an eye-popping charge time of nine minutes. The present charge time of anywhere from several hours to sometimes an entire day is the biggest complaint amongst EV owners. My present question in this regard? "Will this require a re-work of existing chargers, especially in terms of either voltage, current or overall ampacity?" If this can be quickly answered, it will assist in both planning for facilities necessary to accommodate demand and actually return more focus on viability of EV's of all types. Personally, I want to see choice! ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles should still be available as rollout of sufficient facilities will take time, especially in rural areas. Furthermore, the nation's electric grid(s) still need upgrades to handle the ampacity this demand will require and that politicians should stop being too bullish that a transformation be completed within such a damned short timeframe. Already, it's painfully obvious that the Biden Administration is an abject failure in regard to EV station implementation. It should NOT have cost 7 billion USD in taxpayer money to have created but 8 or 9 EV stations, much of that money put into needless red tape (and very likely, BIG buddy paybacks!) Let's allow the Market to facilitate.

 Note that under current estimates of mineable silver, it would take close to two-thirds of that production to meet potential EV demand. Positives include, a safer battery which doesn't cause the heat issues of current technology and can better function in colder climates. They're easier to assemble and far less toxic, plus the 1kg of silver used is recoverable. This tech won't be limited solely to EV's but other important uses as well. Not financial advice, but watch Ag begin to rise, possibly SPIKE. Current price as of this submission is just over $29/Oz USD. Some are speculating anywhere from 3x to 9x pump either by (or more likely into) next year. A portion of that pump is due to our hungry Military Industrial Complex with certain electronics in warfare, such as spacecraft, especially missiles, requiring up to 11k Oz of Ag each, and this metal likely cannot be recovered! One more bullish sentiment to be considered? The MASSIVE short position, naked shorts in particular, of the TBTF Big Fish! Such a short squeeze being realized where these entities are forced to close their shorts will only spike this further. Watch certain bank entities involved having to suddenly "retire" for their insane betting. Some of them already belong in a dark, cold dungeon, LONG AGO!

 Me? I would elect to use solar in whatever applications to use such, soon! I'm gradually adding more of it here, but am not planning to trash the grid. I've purchased a large deep-cycle marine battery and loving how well it's working on my ham radio. I may well purchase anywhere from 1 to 3 more of this identical battery to increase capacity. I have several reasons to maintain Rocky Mountain Power, although I have plenty of property to set up both small wind and solar, plus expanded battery capacity if I wish. I may contract with T.O. to help construct several panels to erect here. I'm hearing horror stories about solar roof installations going bad and little-to-no followup to get repairs, yet I've not decided on the roof. Thankfully, I have a decent understanding of what to test for, especially how series/parallel voltages work. By the time you've read this, I should have my latest Amazon deliveries of voltage controllers and will have battery storage for a nice replacement for the USB wall charger. Prepping for when SHTF continues here.

Lately, an intermittent arcing of a transformer in my neighborhood is causing increasing harmful interference. It's a matter of WHEN that I get fed up with it and report the problem. Hopefully when I do, they won't give me the static from their engineer that I got the last time. The ARRL and FCC will get complaints if this goes on too long. It's getting more difficult on 80m to participate with the Wyoming Cowboy Net.

My birthday was fairly uneventful, although a good friend wanted badly to visit me that day. It was during the weekend when I have to put in the most hours.

Quote of the Month:
"Why are Russian cars so terrible?"

"Because no matter what gear they get Putin, they seem to always be Stalin." - JUST THE FACTS on ZeroHedge

The posting date is Friday the 13th of September, 2024.

 There's more and more antagonizing between US/NATO and the Russian Bear. They're getting PISSED! Literally, we are now closer to a HOT WAR than back in '62 with JFK and a few believe this weekend could be the first b0mBz. I'm convinced Putin is wanting an election with Trump to defuse the present nonsense, his choosing Harris if allowed to vote, being little more than a trolling stunt. Trump HAD his chance to mention the 325,000+ children noted as missing in America due to the pourous southern border, to have nailed the Harris coffin shut, but to his credit he mentions exactly this in California earlier today. Her coaching in advance of the "debate" and ABC News having two moderators which neither fact-checked her and interrupted Trump on several occasions did The Donald no favors, although he actually won the debate. He is developing a plan while Harris I believe plans to continue their status-quo. Already, Harris wants a second debate. If The Donald accepts, he should hammer her with facts that are rather inconvenient as the aforementioned. I also pray that Vance gets a debate with "Tampon Tim" as I expect ugliness to surface. The deadline for elections is edging ever closer and many expect the Deep State to get more desperate with DJT as their Enemy #1. The socialist, communist, marxists of the Democrat Party with many Elites participating including Soros' Open Society, truly can't stomach Trump re-entering the Oval Office, completing the Grover Cleveland Maneuver. The $$ Elites likely have underwater derivative bets, some being naked shorts of silver which will seriously injure institutions if called on to cover. Bix Weir believes the silver price may never be allowed to increase significantly, even if no more phyzz metal is available. I respectfully disagree and I'm willing to bet the right half of my nutsack that a BLACK MARKET where real phyzz money (or crypto) for real phyzz metal becomes available, completely isolated from the established London "spot price" bullshit stupidity. One way or another, if a HOT WAR occurs with American involvement, I believe a means will emerge to make it happen and DAMNED the naked shorts!

 The Haitians are finally hitting the major news. Their nation is deforested and there are very few if any dogs and cats remaining. The Clintons did them no favors, skimming almost all raised money meant for Haiti. Voodoo is the majority and only the Christians give the western half of Hispaniola any hope. It's because dogs and cats are being eaten, including ducks and geese from Snyder Park in Springfield, OH. Insurance rates are skyrocketing because few if any of these migrants have any insurance or driver's license for that matter. Finally, Venezuelan gang members are getting arrested, ejected from various apartment complexes in Aurora, CO. Sheriff's Office are doing this as police essentially have stood down.

 It has remained generally hot with an occasional afternoon shower. The first or second burst of cool has arrived, giving some relief, warning us that change is on the way! THIS is the weekend for those in Casper wanting to visit Crimson Dawn Park on the mountain to do so. The county will close it to the public for the season on Sunday evening! For those near me in Converse County, Ayers Natural Bridge closes at the end of September. I may well get pictures of both to post on the Blog later this year. Watch "X" under @windmechanic to see my posts regarding the Pic of the Week being reactivated. Also, I got in touch with Rocky Mountain Power. This time, the ear is more sympathetic to my severe static issues. I should get some attention to this no later than Tuesday, hopefully getting resolved. They realize I believe this is an arcing issue.

 In Wyoming news, "Little Jackson Hole" is considered as cursing whenever visiting in the Hoback region community of Bondurant, a place I look forward to visiting next year. Read up on this interesting story to get the four-one-one, courtesy of Cowboy State Daily.

 In the world of crypto, I believe it's IN! As of 9-11, the bottom of the pHEX/PLS/PLSX massacre is finally done with better days ahead, given time. What about eHEX? I'm HODLing for the long term game. Mind you, it's still a month out for Richard Heart's trial regarding charges from the SEC. Note that many other cases which were pending for trial have already been dismissed. All three of RH's works, more or less his children, remain technically spectacular and incredibly affordable as Big Brother Ethereum once was. The irony is that Bitcoin is only beginning to rise from its recent consolidation and that Ethereum will likely follow suit since both have ETF's. With that said, Grayscale has been selling tremendous amounts of their ETH. I believe they'll regret having done so in the months ahead, but they're TRADERS, not regular individual investors. What I'm really bullish about, and will likely invest in for a nice short-termer at the least? INC or Incentive Coin. These are minted solely for those who lent liquidity to different pairs in the RH ecosystem, myself included. Watching it pump is really magical and I'll not have to use Ethereum to exchange these for a stablecoin. Now you know what to keep an eagle eye opened for, even though I again remind that this is not financial advice.

 The Donald gets my Vote in November for so many reasons, crypto in particular. He and VP choice Vance are both pro-crypto and getting rid of Gary is a high priority for them if elected. The chances are very, very good this happens, even with the extremely scripted debate earlier in the week from Harris and her liberal ABC moderators who began interrupting Donald's thoughts. He could've slam-dunked her, yet another debate has been requested and I think he'll ultimately play those Aces, hopefully outside the Mouse Network with a far more friendly and just grouping. Considering that Hillary was given the questions before her debate with The Donald with a decent possibility this again happened with Harris, it makes me truly wonder how many intelligent Democrats there are to begin with?

One of the points that Trump brought up during the debate was that of numerous animals being consumed by Haitians, recent migrants to the SW Ohio town of Springfield. NOT the Springfield in the Simpsons with a nuclear plant, yet you'd think it was cartoonish of the apparent craziness going on there. Many residents have spoken out to various media in the past several days, although fact checkers have been busy at work. Note though, there's numerous video incidents reportedly from Springfield and some there are lying to the Democrats of no issues there. Furthermore, residents are turning against their most famous hometowner, John Legend. The actor, now in California, is calling for acceptance of the 15,000+ Haitians. Nevermind, the vast majority of these migrants have yet to show any real capabilities of "fitting in" any of the neighborhoods, likely including the one in which he grew up. This remains a developing story, courtesy of Yahoo!

Even if you hate 'em, you have to admit it's cheap food. Mickey Dees reportedly extends their five bucks Meal Deal into December. Inflation ain't goin' down. When it comes to beef, ZeroHedge isn't the only outlet reporting this; Brazilian beef supplies are going down as well as here in America. The USA now has the least amount of beef cattle since 1951 and reportedly will take years to replenish. This means way more expensive beef to come! Best stock up the freezer, y'all!! Bear in mind how the EU, especially in the Netherlands, has been pressuring farmers to shutter their businesses. Let's not forget the numerous food processing plants and some farms which have burned with significant losses. I believe this nonsense has been planned for years by the elites.

Finally, the US Budget continues to suffer. I predict only 25 basis points gets cut from the Prime Rate. Why? Too damned much spending. Migrants and Ukraine in particular causes most Americans to HOLD THEIR NOSES in absolute disgust. Interest on the debt has now exceeded 1 trillion bucks for the first time. This is very unsustainable and the Deep State has know this for the longest time. There are reasons DC continues poking the Russian Bear and tried to "off" Trump. I agree with InfoWars that the Deep State will again try to kill off #45 before he can claim #47 through election. The stops have been pulled out as they really want full control, the elites having the backs of these marxist, communist, socialist scum. Don't fail to vote in November. YOU are important! Please, don't allow WW III to commence, but at the least, get your preps completed!

Gracias & Alles Liebe,
Mark

--------------------

 Here's the Summary for July.. Personally, I've been away from work for most of the month. I severely sprained a hand on 7/3 and had been wearing a thumb splint for the most part. The most important thing was to keep from lifting anything heavy with that hand, and the pain gradually subsided. The store is pleased to see my return and all is good now. My present lifting restrictions will be lifted by the beginning of August. Hey, it could be worse as WW III has essentially commenced in and around Ukraine. It's been nice to get some small chores done here as this computer got moved to a different room. It became necesssary as I've been battling an ant invasion. So far, so good as their numbers are now down to almost nothing, but they're making a comeback in the past 2 days. I also repaired my truck's air conditioning with a welcomed boost of R134A gas. If I can effect the same fix to the window unit in the ham radio room, It'll be golden! Being realistic, I'll probably call out the AC guy, but NOT YET. My Square of Solitude had seven horses freely roaming. I consistently kept water in the large aluminum tub, dumping it usually every three days to keep it bug-free and with very little debris. I also had four cows visit from time to time. They eat like crazy and are fully grown. These biological lawn mowers have done a magnificent job of keeping my fire danger way lower. In return, I received nice temporary fencing and getting to pet the horses as they came down to drink the water. I have pictures I plan on adding to the Pic of the Week series, but I can't say when this happens. The antelope have returned and even with the cows and horses gone, the wannabe goats drink up the water I still dispense.

Wyoming also has its own dynamics. This is the busy time of the year with Cheyenne Frontier Days having recently wrapped. Other exciting rodeos and fairs around the Cowboy State continue in August. The state fair here in Douglas happens between 8/13-8/17 and I'll attend as I can. By tradition, I'll wear a Season Pass pin. Lately, the spotlight has been away from the bison and toward the geysers. A small hydrothermal explosion occurred in Yellowstone National Park's Biscuit Basin thermal area at 10:00 AM MST, July 23, 2024. The explosion, which originated near Black Diamond Pool, is located about 2.1 miles (3.5 km) northwest of Old Faithful. Despite the explosion, volcanic activity remains at background levels - USGS." Y'all be careful out there, whether you're stupidly tempted to hot pot or dare pet a fluffy cow! Read the signs and don't be the next Touron.

Arkansas has illegal alien issues, some of them very criminal! A female ASP trooper both tazed and had to use deadly force against a Guatemalan national. The Big Guy and Border Czar Kamala with other Swamp figures are responsible for this result. I'm still pissed about a scumbag Mexican national who had no vehicle insurance, avoided arrest, then fled back to Mexico after seriously injuring a dear friend. The coward has been identified, is a repeat offender, and I think will likely offend again! I'll gladly donate to either keep him in jail or prison, or send his sorry ass back where he came from.

July 30th is the Ninth Birthday of Ethereum! This month has been quite interesting in crypto, especially regarding Richard Heart's motion to dismiss his case before the SEC, but it may be resolved in October, if not sooner. On 7/14, I sensed the bottom of eHEX/pHEX/PLS/PLSX was to come within a month if not sooner. It still struggles as of this submission, but there's some noise to work out as even the ETH price hasn't changed much. The ETH ETF is already released and pitched to investors, myself included. Bitcoin touched 53k USD not long ago and came close to 70k after Trump's Bitcoin2024 speech in Nashville. MtGox has been giving back some of their long-held bitcoin to creditors. The German government has also been selling some of their 50k BTC, but got concerned the Market would suffer. So far, there remain buyers with the existing BTC ETF's, but I've heard some selling by at least one Big Fish, maybe going into ETH ETF? As the BTC coins get thinner in supply, watch the pump really get going, later with ETH! It could take months, so be patient. Oh, Senator Lummis introduced a bill to create a national Bitcoin Reserve from coins already confiscated, however, Biden's administration decided to move confiscated Silk Road bitcoins, worth billions, to another BTC address, likely politically motivated against the Republican efforts. Bear in mind, BTC can NEVER, NEVER be removed from the network! At worst, an address which has no Private Key (either lost or totally ditched) can hold ANY value of coin that are then orphaned, locked forever in electronic purgatory. Hey, the IRS has contracts to help track BTC moves and the public has equal capabilities in this peer-to-peer chain. How did these dweebz expect We The Sheeple wouldn't get further evidence of their weaponization? Trump promised several things, including commuting the sentence of Ross on his first day in office. RFK Jr. and Trump have varying views about how much the proposed Bitcoin Reserve should hold. To Be Continued..

Amazing! Alec Baldwin's legal eagles successfully argued the State of New Mexico failed to disclose important information to his defense. The Judge noticed these issues and didn't allow Santa Fe to cover their screwups and ruled that relief was indeed warranted. This was Dismissal with Prejudice. That game is OVER, y'all!

Former President Trump gets shot in Pennsylvania at his Butler rally, Saturday. It took hours for the FBI to release the name of the shooter, 20-year old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who lived 35 miles south of the rally location at Bethel Park. The shooter grazed Trump's ear with noticeable blood, the former President noting on his Truth Social media of hearing the bullet "whizzing by", feeling the bullet damage skin on his upper right ear. There were several bullets fired and three other attendees were shot, all males, two critically injured, the other died. The shooter was killed. The FBI was pissed that they had huge issues gaining access to the shooter's phone. Audio analysis by several have revealed the possibilities of additional shooters. It would be insane irony if Crooks kept his phone blank, to keep little if any information, and I won't put it past his capabilities, yet we're learning that explosives found either in his vehicle or with his home with his parents, are of commercial quality and origin. This smells like he had assistance. Another convenient, annoying detail is that there have been no press conferences to this submission as of nine days since the attempted asassination with a terrible hearing of the USSS director! The kitchen is way too hot and Summer is in full Glory. Cheatle resigned 7/23 under extreme bipartisan pressure. Will the Service finally kill off any and all DEI policies?? Also, Biden has been out of public sight since arriving in Vegas Wednesday, 7/17 for almost a week now. It was revealed Monday, 7/22 that Harris flew to Delaware quickly. The buzz is wildly speculative, but nothing can be put past the lying Democrats. The news cycle is no longer strictly focused on the attempted assassination with the DNC convention in Chicago to arrive and several states in limbo because of Biden's recent and consistent refusal to step down in a timely fashion. This caused many Democrat megadonors to threaten withdrawing the lifeblood of the jackass. Trust that $$ and power means EVERYTHING to the Dem-dominated Swamp. Stay Tuned and expect more updates. The latest Big Reveal on 7/23 is heavy speculation that Sen. Kelly (AZ) could be tapped as Harris' Veep. The issue with Gov. Newsom (CA) comes down to the 12th Amendment whereas both the President and Vice President cannot legally reside in the same state. The last time this was faced, Dick Cheney had to move back here to Wyoming in order to legally serve the Veep role.

The CrowdStrike computer update for Microsoft Windows had an error which caused bluescreen errors throughout the globe. One of my brothers was ready to leave the Twin Cities to fly back to Little Rock when the American Airlines flight he was to catch, got canned due to this very issue. He and a fellow instructor had to endure an entire day of flight delay and had to venture away from the Airport to get any food, all the restaurants located inside the secured area of whatever terminal they had to await their flight (MSP has two). Thankfully, Air Traffic Control (ARTCC) didn't suffer serious issues, but it's these problems which cause a pause to quickly update operating systems of critical computer networks as they operate under. This is something that not many in the public keep in mind. Why have most, if not all, computers in Britain's NHC remained as Win XP? Computer techs "get" this!

Paris, France has been hosting the 2024 Olympics. Fewer viewers have been viewing the Games because of a disgusting opening ceremony, which I won't have to describe in any sort of detail. Because of "copyright infringments", social media has been handing out DCA strikes against thousands of accounts who simply reposted what was broadcast over public airwaves. As a result, NBC now has a FCC complaint filed by Judicial Watch against that broadcast. Schadenfreude occurred later when Paris went into total darkness by a citywide power failure. A day or two later, various internet lines were cut in the country that required both rerouting and repair.

OBITS: A HUGE number already this month!

* Karola Ruth Westheimer, known best as "Doctor Ruth", passed at age 96. Old timers recall her as the Sex Guru with a really sharp accent that was no accident. After all, she was among the few Holocaust survivors remaining on Earth. Her radio program tore down all sorts of sexual taboos, the excellent counselor she was. RIP!

* Also passing was another Guru, in exercise. New Orleans born and raised, Richard Simmons had a life shaped by dynamics in the ever-energetic French Quarter. Personally, I've known two who were born and raised there. It truly rubs off on your personality as New Orleans has this special VIBE not available elsewhere. Simmons was a full personification of this through his childhood into his late teen years. His inspirational talks and high energy exercise became a sizeable part of the American culture from the 80's until disappearing from public view over a decade ago. He still posted on Twitter and celebrated his birthday, then died the day after. Reportedly, he was suffering from skin cancer, yet kept up his appreciation for life. Indeed, every day is a GIFT and hopefully his kindness won't disappear, even though the angels have him dancing again. RIP Richard!
* Shannen Doherty, star of "Beverly Hills, 90210" passed at age 53 due to a long battle with cancer. She also had roles in the 1989 cult classic film "Heathers" and Prue Halliwell in "Charmed" from 1998 to 2001. RIP Shannen.
* Lou Dobbs of CNN/Fox Business/Lindell's network passed at age 78. Before Infowars became famous, Lou was THE GOAT! His unskakeable integrity made him a true hero as both CNN and FOX fired him for telling the TRUTH! It's truly sad how little fanfare his passing received, but that reflects how shitty the MSM has become. Watch Infowars for a half-hour special about Dobbs.
* Sheila Lee Jackson - (D)TX died of pancreatic cancer at age 74. Her politics fit her area and not much a fit elsewhere, except in the Inner Beltway.

So far, very good! I was able to type this Blog without pain from either hand. Until the crypto pump takes place, I'll be back at work and dealing with the Summer heat!

Gracias & Alles Liebe,

Mark

Quote of the Year - 2024
"Razor wire is the ribbon of liberty" - Robert Wilson (@RobertW53319481 on X)

Our porous southern border remains the laughing stock of the civilized world. There are many making good $$ from this, plus the Elites give their blessings toward the unsustainability of the American economy to remain viable. Texas vs Deep State is nowhere near resolved. More and more silently pray the Lone Star State again becomes an independent Republic. I would hate to see the nation become divided, but the politics are already reaching a boiling point as it was in the first Civil War in the 19th century.

How many Americans, especially White Americans, have an understanding of the communist proposals in The Swamp? The Dems, lovingly spending your money, are laying the screw job against those with White skin. The White Tax is coming if we allow Congress to pass it as Biden will undoubtably sign such racist garbage into law. Although the article correctly notes that Whites are a majority, this is no longer the case in certain areas. Texas is the latest, although not falling as fast due to numerous new residents quickly fleeing the Coasts.

We've been watching Bitcoin put on a hell of a show! ATH (all time high) was briefly passed. Although in a pullback for now, most predict it passes 150k USD by the end, a few predicting over 225k USD by the year's end, The 4/9 "halvening" where the reward for miners solving a block has been halved to 3.125 coins and was essentially priced in as before. Watch ETH (Ethereum) again pass 4k USD to their ATH, too. There ARE and SHALL BE be pullbacks! So far, the altcoin party has evaded the RH ecosystem. Hexicans, are you ready yet? RH's upcoming trial with the SEC hasn't happened, yet he stands an excellent chance of a slam dunk against lawyers whom have little if any experience in this space, their boss Gary having opened up his mouth too many times, showing those active in the space of how little he truly grasps about it!! Ethereum's true bull is but getting started. Allow it to bring quite the pump to HEX and all its derivatives. GoPulse dot com is nicely crafted, so is hexscout dot com. Both of these will eventually grace the External Links portion of my site's mainpage.

"Banks are a dime a dozen. Bitcoin is one of a kind." - Usman Majeed (@usgoose on Twitter)

BSV's decent climb is going down a large cliff, shedding plenty of value. Craig Wright is finally ruled as not Satochi, creator of Bitcoin. Richard Heart made this rather apparent years ago. Bottom line? Wright could have proven he had the keys to the Satochi Stash without having to give his PrivKey to anyone! It would've been done in the same manner that Richard used to reward BTC holders (as myself at that time) HEX from a simple pasting of a specialized message through Wright's Bitcoin wallet which would had held the PrivKey. This is exactly how I earned my first HEX and it remains in stake, today.

A brief reminder that I'm NOT a financial advisor, but an investor as you likely are. These are simply my opinions, nothing more and since I charge nothing for your consumption thereof, take it for whatever you deem worthy, not from my pockets!
With the BTC ETF underway, even Pocahontas has had to tone it down. She's not indicating her usual fiesty stance against digital currencies. We'll see how long this lasts, but the Genie has been long let loose from the bottle. Those trading SHIB (Shiba Inu) should expect a pullback or two or three, I predict it will occur when the biggest of influencers see the BIG pumps and begin selling into the unwashed crowd. There's that first-time learning experience, y'all! The EASIEST money is always made when nobody, and I mean NOBODY wants your coins, yet have proven in the past to make $$ by either tech or pump and dumping, SHIB being a classic meme of the latter. I was among the first DOGE adopters and enjoyed success in its first year or so.
Some have asked me regarding my claim of being the first to offer DOGE as a payment option. It was late Sunday 12/8/2013 which I wanted to develop a domain name I still host, into an animal portal with extensive optional features, many of them freely given. It must have profit potential and remain private for maximum success, but this was already on my mind over a decade back! I finally found the post, made to "Salviel" that day. He deserves credit even now as he was 100% trustworthy of my first successful transaction which made me a Dogeillionaire (possessing 1 Million DOGE, super easy at that time) and I told him "Because of DOGE's special name and reference to our canine friends, my site when operational will accept DOGE as a payment option, especially if exchanges exist to convert, such as BitPay does with BTC now."

SHORT LINKS

Pocahontas has some competition emerging for November. Bay Staters, have you seen the light? Has Revere's ghost visited your dreams yet??

You'll see incredible media gaslighting, post-Biden's vitrolic State of the Union speech was quite memorably harsh. Abortion, Trump, Lawfare, more Ukraine and more anger they'll dispense to We The Sheeple. The Real Biden put on likely the most hateful speech of this sort in American History. Certainly for my lifetime thus far, and I'm amongst the latest-borne of the Boomers. It didn't help his polling at all. With that said, Trump MUST dig in his heels to bring out actual, physical voters to the polls. There's a tremendous amount at stake. Allowing a re-election of Biden will embolden these alphabet agencies with more power and control. It's NOT democratic.

White Rural Rage, a recently published book, is very much a work of significant gaslighting. Rurals as myself find this as nonsense, but it doesn't surprise most of us. Yes, there's research going into it. Containing tremendous biases and by two white authors whom I doubt live rurally, spare being raised in such a setting. I tweeted recently that I've considered getting the book. It'd be a rather expensive paperweight as the ideas in it wouldn't change mine. Also, Elon Musk has done more to move the Overton Window than anyone today in America. His "X" still isn't perfect. One post I made against Bill Gates got taken down, but it was truthful and not hateful as the algorithm alleges. He still has more tweaking and certain lefties there to purge. I got my blue check and this alone has helped me gain more followers and keep those already following me.

Amazing how other nations have learned THEIR lesson, yet the highly-intelligent United States with all our Think Tanks have taken no notice? Maybe it's a political opportunity, as the others were! Think about it.

Now, Mexico reportedly wishes to join BRICS! This, according to World Alternative Media. So, how will this affect their cartels? Maybe they're sensing the USD is also garbage and planning accordingly. Yes, the USD will be on the skids with incredible inflation to arrive. O'Biden is keeping matters on life support to support his (mwahahahahaaaa!!!) re-election. Get those plans finalized.

Although posted before Thanksgiving last year, this post on X remains a relevant statement. Buffet still dislikes Bitcoin, yet most experienced Bitcoiners already implement many, if not most, of Warren's advice. Generally, we "get" this. Physical holding of a Bitcoin is not possible. The PrivKey is all that's necessary to spend the value contained in the PubKey or address it represents.

Lady Vet brings up something to ponder, going forth. An Indianapolis woman was freed after an unfortunate smothering accident involving her child. The issue? She was high on meth! There are many laws passed which give enhanced penalties whenever illicit drug abuse (in some instances, involving legal RX usage!) Your conclusions, please. Was the Judge high on meth, too?

Oh the embarassment? Actually, no surprise when regarding Women's sports, it comes down to the transgenders in the final battles.

Chef Gruel, among my favorites on "X" brings light to something you should be noticing when dining out. Indeed, it's essentially a SCAM!

Hades heats up amazingly well. Weinstein gets a Key out of Jail as far as NY State is concerned. (Fox News reports he remains in jail on another charge) If Harvey were released of all charges, can you imagine how much better his health suddenly becomes? I don't ask this out of hatefulness. I ask it for the same reason that Julian Assange has been kept out of direct sunlight for oh so long.

Finally, this Nursery Rhyme for the 21st Century is not only real, but too damn FUNNY!! (ROTFLMAO) so you're too lazy to click the link? Here goes..
An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her lungs, "I have a gun, and I know how to use it!
Get out of the car - NOW!"
The four men didn't wait for a second threat. They got out and ran like mad. The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into the driver's seat.
She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition. She tried and tried, and then she realized why.
It was for the same reason she had wondered why there was a football, a Frisbee, and two 12-packs of beer in the front seat.
A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down.
She loaded her bags into her own car and drove to the police station to report her mistake.
The Sergeant to whom she told the story couldn't stop laughing. He pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale men were reporting a carjacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun.
No charges were filed. Moral of the story?
If you're going to have a senior moment... make it memorable. :-D

Until next time.. \_(ツ)_/
