The world…. the world has ended 2025 and started 2026 with a bang.

Literally.

Venezuela… the shooting in Minnesota… child care fraud… Greenland…

Overshadowed, the imposing government shutdown 2.0 is on the horizon. The CES scary robots and tri-folding screens are mostly under-reported. Ukraine is still a thing, as well as whatever is going on with Israel, Gaza, and whatnot. Something is going on with Obamacare. New SNAP regulations have been implemented in some states. New York’s new mayor is flying under the radar and gaining traction – unfortunately. There’s also a new food pyramid.

Trump continues to be Trump…. The “Don”row doctrine. Really? The ballroom could be taller than the White House. That shouldn’t be a thing. I think there’s supposed to be a professional fight at the White House.

All the while, data centers are being implemented. The USA is quietly squaring off against China. Inflation is still a thing. People with delinquent student loans are starting to be hit, as their paychecks and potential tax refunds will be deducted. The prices of RAM and other computer components are increasing as Google and other companies are munching on them to build AI. People starting college can’t read or do basic math.

It’s really striking compared to what there was before, but a lot of it is fluff.

SNAP changes could be a step forward. But it’s not absolute. People can just cross state lines to buy steak and Hershey bars.

The person who was shot in Minneapolis was unfortunate. In the end, it doesn’t matter who is at fault – the woman or the officer. The issue has been resolved by the powers that may be. Us normals wouldn’t have a say and can’t do anything about it one way or the other. At least, unlike George, there may not be riots in the streets.

If people want to take action on either side, I don’t particularly care. But small businesses and those who don’t want to be involved shouldn’t be penalized. Their lives shouldn’t be affected by paid protesters.

Young college aged adults are obviously the swill of technology. They can’t read long paragraphs. They can barely do math. Grade inflation keeps the Ivory Towers running and, of course, most parents don’t want to think that their children are ineffective. They don’t have critical thinking skills.
— By hook or by crook, AI will dominate.
The upcoming generations will be simply too blind, bound, and hooked on anti-depressants to resist. They’ll “think” they will be, but it’ll be a fake premise. They don’t know how it is now or before. There isn’t a comparison point, and even if there were, they’d have no idea how to reach it.

The child care fraud happened. It’ll continue to happen. It will always happen, to some degree. Will anyone be penalized? Maybe one or two for showboating. Will there be taxpayer compensation? Nope. It’s just a bunch of bluster that won’t have any real impact and cannot repair the damage done.

The Venezuelan leader and his wife were taken. There was a quote about not FA with America. Still… Zelensky is out there. He’s probably FA with America for nearly ten years more than anyone on the planet. I don’t think the USA is going to take him into custody for a fake trial in New York. What about the RINOs? The people like Polaski and AOC who are making their fortunes off fraud and broken promises. Don’t they count?

Nope.

But it’s a lot to talk about.
They’re great distractions.

Still… I can’t help but think a noose is tightening. There’s something behind the curtain. The more distraction the bigger it is.

So, what’s really going on?

……. Not that it matters.
The masses are made to suffer.

And we are all part of the mass.
