Trump and the US Postal Service

If you’re worried about the recent accusations about Trump cutting the post office, because you haven’t yet figured out we now live in a world of guilt by accusation (because people like you believe it), don’t feel too bad. Some of you still trust journalism, sad but I understand. However, we no longer live in an era where those seeking political power can win by the sword. Today they win by the pen. And as such, those types who were drawn to wielding a sword to win by any means in the past still exist. It’s they now wield the pen to win.

The politicizing of the USPS is yet another false narrative pushed by the left media that has no bearing. The only way that cutting the post office to delay ballots would help Trump win is if only those voting Democrat will vote by mail. If you believe that I have some oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you. Delaying ballots hurts all parties. Or maybe you believe Trump won’t leave even if he loses, yet another false narrative, and this is something toward that end. If so, I feel sorry for you.

But that’s not the stupid part. The stupid part is that the President no longer appoints the postmaster general. The board of governors does, but because of how the new postmaster general votes, the new false narrative is Trump is politicizing the USPS. It’s sheer bullshit. It has nothing to do with anything other than adding to the fabricated narratives against Trump to win. The lawsuits are a nice touch - chalked off as campaign costs. The more they can fabricate the better. Why not regurgitate the alleged sexual harassment or Russiagate?  Well because they milked those as much as they could, and they didn’t work because they too are bullshit. The latter (Russiagate) is so clearly documented false that you still believing it puts you in the category of those who believe the earth is flat or walking under a ladder gives you bad luck.

Trump rightfully used his executive powers to force the federal government to find ways to balance its budget. The previous postmaster general didn’t do that. Trump pressured all agencies including the USPS. Incidentally, the USPS gets its funding from ratepayers not taxpayers. The previous postmaster general didn't take action to balance the budget and she finally got sick of the pressure and announced her retirement back in October. 

The two main changes proposed are to force those at retirement age to retire. This is standard practice when an organization in the red is attempting to balance its budget. The USPS has been in the red for a long time. The second is cutting Saturday delivery, which really only hurts the politicians relying on mail. The supposed elderly and disabled not getting visited on Saturday are also bullshit. The Carrier Alert Program does more in that regard than merely delivering mail, especially since mail is not delivered in person anymore and rural mailboxes aren’t even near the house. Oh, and most USPS consumers are okay with it, despite the lies to the contrary.

The sad thing about all of this is that very little from the left media can be trusted. So, if the lawsuits being brought don’t go anywhere (which they won't), the left media won’t just tell you that. They’ll instead blame Trump’s influence or corruption somehow. Since people watching them don’t vet anything (finding other sources saying the same thing isn't vetting), and they believe all their narratives, the new narrative will work. They should study the art and the science of persuasion and attitude inoculation, but suggesting such would be fruitless.

Next month is the last month of the current government fiscal year. They have to turn in a budget before it’s over, and a big part of that is the pre-funding of retiree healthcare. Proposed changes all work to this end.

You’re a Person of Color?

I like to begin with first and foremost, so... first and foremost, all people, not just people/person(s) of color (POC), can benefit from reading this. It is because whether we do or do not identify as a POC, we are all people - human beings with common and unique faults, strengths, and weaknesses. What do you do about the bias against you that you experience as a POC? So far, we’ve seen many movements and many efforts to raise awareness, demand justice, and all of that. But that’s not what I’m getting at. What I am asking is what are you doing about you?  Before I continue, I have a few thoughts to share. First, there are always two sides of every experience that seems racially biased: those experiencing the bias and those demonstrating it. Each side of such experiences has components that exist and components that do not exist, in isolation with the other. Such experiences are dynamic largely because of how we are wired to look at the world and how we are wired socially.  Be...

Risk If True Most Severe Ever

Whether the following is true or not, the scientific community needs to stop being political. If a lab can reproduce the findings of the following controversial paper, under the strict supervision of a trusted entity that will destroy the product after it is reported, then they should. Only then will we know for sure whether the COVID-19 virus was manufactured, helped along to facilitate accelerated mutations using human trials, or actually came from Nature's kitchen. Because if it is true, then we are living under a threat so severe it makes Nagasaki and Hiroshima look like child's play. The preponderance of scientific literature I've been steeped in over the better part of the last two decades goes back nearly a century and documents how easily the Hitler phenomenon and Stanley Milgram phenomenon can occur en mass within society, infecting the public, politicians, business leaders, and especially the media. My own investigations finding repeating but unsubstantiated narra...

New York Times Life-Long Romance With Communism

If I were the gatekeeper for who gets good or bad repute, I would want to give myself a good one under the auspice of modesty. Would not the newspaper of record, the New York Times, do the same? As is oft said, truth is sometimes too bizarre to be fabricated. And truth must be told as simply and as boldly as possible. We all studied history in school. If we were lucky, we had interest, a good textbook, and a non-boring teacher. But even if we had these three magic ingredients, we couldn’t possibly know what is not directly revealed in the history books. How could we read between lines that were not printed? All this came to mind as I pondered when the New York Times might have lost their way as the newspaper of record – the former noble journalist paradise where fact, not worldview, agenda, and spin ruled. As I revisited history anew, I began to doubt the New York Times ever truly earned such acclaimed magnanimity. It was obvious from my inquiry how powerful the pen was to change t...
