On Monday, an 18-story building in San Francisco will be formally dedicated as the “Speaker Nancy Pelosi Federal Building.” It was built in 2007 and has housed many federal offices for years. To note the new name on the building, it will have its signage changed, sort of getting a new facelift.
Wow! My last newsletter produced zero replies. Usually, I have ten or more responses within a day from sending a newsletter out, but I received no response from what I thought was an important subject.
Maybe it wasn’t a good message for Thanksgiving.
Computers: I have an Apple MacBook Pro, an excellent computer. But with Apple’s new update, the dictation system is near perfect. As you talk, it types what you said. It can miss a bit of punctuation and sometimes types gonna instead of going to, but is the best dictation system that I’ve used. If you have trouble typing, you may wish to check these computers out; their MacBook Airs are just as good.
Good Luck: Democrat big mouth James Carville has called for an audit of the Harris presidential campaign. The Harris campaign raised over $1 billion, yet ended up some $20 million in debt. Some claim that they went through $1.5 billion in 15 weeks.
AlJazerra reported:
“But FEC filings show that the campaign also spent $20m — an amount almost identical to its reported debt — on concerts and celebrity appearances in the final days before the election.
A cadre of celebrities like Jon Bon Jovi, Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry, Megan thee Stallion and Lady Gaga performed at rallies in battleground states on the eve of Election Day. That may not have been the wisest investment, say some experts.
From what I have read, missing from that list is Oprah Winfrey (claimed production expenses), Jennifer Lopez, Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé and Al Sharpton. It reads like the bigshots in the Harris campaign wanted to party with media stars while their donors paid the tab.
Imagine what they would have done to our economy.
They Live was an old movie about a drifter who bought a special pair of sunglasses which revealed many of the power-players in society and politics were extraterrestrial aliens whose science was delivering subliminal mind-control messages to our unsuspecting society. The cartoon below relates that idea to the deep-state, or swamp.
Camping: While cleaning out old files on my computer I found a map of Camp Chagres, which was on Gatun/Madden Lake in the Canal Zone in Panama. It was a Boy Scout camp, right in the middle of the jungle with all the snakes, scorpions, ocelots, jaguars, monkeys and other animals. As a scout, I camped there a few times; each time we came home our clothes were so dirty that mom just threw them away.
After my father was reassigned to the States, I went camping with our scout troop in California. There the tent sites here were prepared. At Chagres we had to take out the machetes and clear the jungle overgrowth to have tent space, then had to crawl over the ground in search of snake and tarantula holes. We burned the chopped foliage, being careful of the vine snakes which were hard to see.
The California camp had running water. At Chagres, we had to walk to a water truck to fill our canteens; or, better yet, we could find a water vine, chop it with the machete, then drink the water that dripped from the vine. Arnold Schwartzenegger did that in the movie “Predator.”
When the California scoutmaster saw my disappointment at the campsite he questioned me, then stopped me midsentence and said that I could tell everybody about Camp Chagres after dinner, at the campfire. That talk lasted over an hour. My fellow scouts loved the stories.
Camp Chagres is now closed; it has been turned into a nature center. I was very fortunate to have those wonderful experiences.
Childhood today is too electronic and too focused on entertainment. Real adventure is missing.
Have a wonderful day!
