Hahaha! Yeah, blue and yellow flags. The City Council had our restored antique 1921 truss bridge over the Russian River lit up with blue and yellow lights. It was pathetic. Then came Oct. 7th and the local rich Jews wanted the City Council to light up the bridge in blue and white for Israel.

The City Council and Healdsburg citizens said, "NO!"

Ms. Sehr, the daughter of the bastard who built the Hotel Healdsburg and ruined our town with tourists, had a rally on the Plaza in support of Israel. A few people showed up. Haven't heard a word from the rich bitch since.

Trump could end all the wars, as the commander in chief, by defunding them and bringing our troops home from the 800 foreign bases they are on, in 80 foreign countries, and putting them on the border with Mexico until it becomes lawful again.

Be nice if he would, but sadly Trump's not nearly That anti-war.

Trump is still too ignorant about what he is doing to have any success in doing it.

America should have renounced worldwide hegemony after beating Britain again in 1812, but it chose to bail out the British Empire instead and go into debt slavery to the City of London (as opposed to the city called London).

Yes, History is overloaded with Shoullda's, Woullda's and Coullda's. While Trump may not be a MENSA Member, he's all we've got for the next few years. A blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally - Trump may be one. There aren't a whole lot of pragmatic alternatives.

If It's like last time, I'll get half of what I want with Trump, that's better than being 100% screwed.

I've been approached for MENSA membership twice.

The second time, I was offered a sample question from their test:

If one man can paint an 8 foot by 8 foot by 8 foot room in 8 hours, how long would it take 8 men?

The obvious arithmetic answer is one hour, but they wanted me to reject the question as nonsensical. I told them that I wouldn't dumb myself down to their idiotic paradigm.

Well it certainly is a stupid question.

It would be pretty hard to determine how efficient 8 men working in that small of an area would be, I doubt there are any formulas around to calculate it, but how are you to know if they are dumb enough to think their own question makes sense?

Were they testing your psychic ability? If you could read their minds you would have known if they were serious, but I can't think of any other way.

The first time I was approached by a female computer programming instructor the votech where I studying FORTRAN. She came me a couple of samples tests, but the one I actually looked at was asking me questions about renaissance art, which I know nothing about. She explained that they wanted to know about my ability to reason. I told her that I'd reasoned that their test writers weren't very at writing tests.

Russia is a natural ally of the West, we share common religions and heritage (those Vikings got around). I don’t think Trump will miss an opportunity to reach out to Putin and make peace…
