Psycho-ology alright. Look what they were doing to children at school. Outright child abuse. White men and to extent women at jobs with the woke BS. You don’t think that was causing unrelenting stress. College kids saying they were afraid of saying anything for fear it would affect their grades.

Well this is interesting . How our military was treated and who knows what other countries did to theirs in turn during Covid keeping them away from family during that time so they wouldn’t get sick I presume and then we’re probably forced to get their shots right away. Who needs weapons when you have a psycho and compulsive liars from within waist of our time and to divide and destroy countries and their economies within  and profit off it instead of doing their own servalence which they had the capability to do if they wanted on a hoax. Not to mention a desperate way to interfere in a election. I hope they will in the future though.

Key Uninterrupted Stretches at Sea
  • USS Abraham Lincoln (2025–2026): Over 250 consecutive days without a port call (with a single 1-day stop in Guam back on December 12).
  • USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (2020): 206 consecutive days without a port call, set during strict COVID-19 safety protocols.
  • USS Theodore Roosevelt (2001–2002): 159 consecutive days without hitting a port following the September 11 attacks. [1, 2, 3, 4]
(Note: While the USS Nimitz spent 341 total days away from home port during the 2020–2021 pandemic era, portions of that time included isolated quarantine anchoring rather than pure continuous operational underway tracking like the Lincoln’s stretch). [1, 2]
Would you like to know more about the operational factors (such as supply replenishment or crew rotation) or the specific mission details behind these extended deployments?

 

 

 

Part of this article caught my attention.

“For those who claim that tariffs are “causing inflation”, this is simply false. The contribution tariffs make to CPI is negligible (around 0.5 percentage points). The media (and some libertarians) continue to falsely claim that tariffs are an issue.”

Assuming he is talking about price inflation, he is patently wrong. Even DJT disagrees with him, which is why he is removing tariffs on beef, because it will reduce prices by 25%. It’s not the monetary value of the tariff that increases prices, but the supply shortage that pushes the prices up. Somehow DJT seemed to think that imposing beef tariffs would double the US herd overnight. Just wait to see how much lumber prices will skyrocket with new tariffs on Canada.

goldie, 7:56, no, they aren’t lying.

The phrase is “the longest time an aircraft carrier has gone without a port of call in modern history”, leaving plenty of scope for any other type of ship in modern history, and aircraft carriers earlier than whatever is modern.

Posted by Mr.Copper @ 13:01 on August 23, 2026  

Stress is coming from importing too many imports, causing lagging profits and wages and or just increasing poverty.  And the upper level poor people are feeding them poison via psychology

Meanwhile…..

Agricultural commodities are now at their highest level in a decade.

Yet another unintended consequence of higher energy prices.

Watch the Fed be forced to walk back its hawkish stance even as inflation continues to creep higher.

It’s not like these guys have many options.

Turkey and Israel vying for control

🇮🇱🇹🇷🇸🇾⚡️ Israel must stop Turkey’s military expansion before Turkish forces are able to establish themselves close to Israel’s borders, a senior Israeli intelligence official has warned as tensions between Jerusalem and Ankara over Syria continue to escalate.

Speaking to The Jerusalem Post, the official warned that unless Israel establishes clear red lines in Syria and the eastern Mediterranean, Turkish military and naval forces could continue expanding their presence toward Israel. He cautioned that Israel could eventually face a scenario in which Turkish tanks are positioned near the Golan Heights and Turkish frigates operate off the coast of Caesarea.

The warning reflects a growing concern within Israel that Turkey’s expanding influence in Syria could eventually become a direct strategic constraint on Israeli freedom of action. Recent Israeli strikes against military infrastructure in Syria therefore appear intended not only to limit Damascus’ capabilities, but also to signal that Jerusalem will resist any permanent Turkish military deployment it considers threatening. The emerging rivalry increasingly makes Syria one of the most sensitive potential flashpoints between Israel and Turkey.

The longest deployed ship without a Port of Call in history. If true apparently whom ever said they did longer time than them was lying. I wonder if they were doing some kind of experiment on them.

Wow isn’t that something. It was 53 yrs for me to counting back when I started in high school and worked as a nursing assistant after school with geriatrics. Very understaffed then. I was even giving out medications left for me with cards next to them. Got to know many born in the 1800s. That’s when I decided things have got to change, for the better and some how got chosen over hundreds admitted in nursing school as a teen. They said they chose the ones most likely to make it through I retired when the time to get vaccinated with Covid shot was up. I warned them though,  giving them time to prepare. The CMT was getting worse. Charcot Marie Tooth. They have different types. Apparently mine was late stage, symptoms started later in life. I started tripping walking down the halls. One of the head doctors told me before I left to find a good doctor and stick with them. I asked is it getting that bad, he said yes. I don’t know if things like Covid had something to do with it or not but he seemed very concerned at the time. I could no longer work after retiring anyways after a bad trip to Florida 32 hrs to get there near the same getting back during Covid because over doing things without rest causes even more nerve damage,  even if I wanted to. That’s great your working in a clinic, there’s so many people who slip through the cracks who need help.

Florida

One of my daughters and grandsons going to be in florida next week. Her second trip his first. So I looked up when the rains will start or likely will start with El Nino. It’s predicted to start in severity in winter going into spring which is usually dry but could bring heavy rains.

Found something else out though. With it, it could being more tornados. So less hurricanes more tornados.  Could still have hurricanes too just not as much. That may result in  interesting weather starting as early as late next month. So enjoy the sunny summer and stay safe this winter.

It doesn’t sound good. California is no stranger to droughts combined with hot dry weather increasing fire risks.

I thought that was strange for Florida so I looked a few things up, like what about the undergrouncd fresh water coming from quite a few states to Florida. I picture that as a oasis compared to California. Apparently despite that the majority of water you get is from rain fall. What was locking the drought in was El Nina. So when you hear El Nina I guess be prepared. Why they don’t do rain cloud seeding in places of drought I don’t know. I didn’t get As far as finding what El Nino will bring but do remember initially reading it will bring less hurricanes but more rain. Hopefully that’s true. But if it’s been going on a couple of years with things drying up sudden heavy rain if you get it will likely cause runoffs in these dried area especially if plant life dried off and flooding.

Theyll also need a watch on roads with warnings to stay away from any flooded roads. There’s not enough watch there so helps to know what roads will flood and avoid them. Coming home from a night shift in the dark without warnings and road hazard signs up  could easily run right into it.

We had an extremely dry winter and summer. Our rain patterns have also changed. In the past it rained every day in the summer around 4pm. That did not happen this year.

we have had drought weather in the past such as 2007 we also had low levels of rain fall.

Well at least they’re on the patriot side even if they have to make it up with victimizing one they should be protecting.

One of them states the cause They do a good job they tackled the problem and put themselves out of work. There might be a answer. Don’t slash the budget. Don’t over higher, in a emergency recruits are only temporary with a good payoff for their services and the employees keep their jobs.

It’s not just tackling a problem it’s maintance, preventing problems from occuring should be the first priority, Problems that do occurs secondary but fact is in both instances they have the staff to deal with it. Having experienced capable people can in itself be a detourent to problems to some degree so it should not be necessary to make up things to keep their jobs when they’re doing their jobs.

They’re feeding them poison via psychology to the point they don’t know what bathroom they’re supposed to go to and making them sick. They’re making them sick. Throw in group think of made to believe there is group think.. protecting your country is racist  vs the emperor has no cloths. No not everyone is falling for that. Trying toake they believe they are guilty of something they’re not using it as a weapon against them when even the Emperor fell for it.

What their doing to the kids, not just food and vaccines but psychology. Like that kid in the article by Ipso and trying to use him normally a innocent person as their fall guy.

Schools and media. Causing stress But then they can fix it for them, make the bad guy go away.. using stress like pain they cause and they’ll stop the pain by stopping the bad guy, and how they can help, except for the fact they are the bad guy using them for the fall guy. Give up their country it’s no good after years of propaganda. They have to learn that they are the cause, part of the bad within. and not patriots or their friends.

Stress is coming from everywhere and causes different levels of stress being compounded upon Financial, emotional, physical.

High stress pushes the brain past its breaking point, bringing on the first episode of psychosis.
How Stress Affects the Brain
    • Hormone floods: High stress releases heavy amounts of cortisol and changes brain chemicals like dopamine.
    • Triggering symptoms: In a brain that is already vulnerable, these chemical shifts can spark paranoia, fear, and delusions.
    • Accumulated pressure: Big life events or long-term trauma make it harder for the brain to process what is real. [1234]
Getting Support
    • Medical care: Paranoid schizophrenia requires professional treatment, usually a mix of medicine and therapy, to help balance brain chemistry.
    • Relapse prevention: Managing daily stress is a proven way to reduce the risk of future psychotic episodes

Re Communism and Socialism Getting Popular

Posted by Mr.Copper @ 18:00 on August 22, 2026  

I keep hearing that on the news, they keep saying communism is getting popular with young people, I remember when the biggest new car buyer group were the under 25 years old.

Me and many friends right out of high school bought new cars with three year loans. So, all the complainers on the news and millions of others, probably all own foreign cars.

They helped other countries prosper, and increased poverty here in the USA. Pluss all the other things that we started importing after 1971 besides cars.

Tools, machinery, clothing, cooking utensils, coffee mugs, you name it and we imported them plus we imported poverty that is now voting on communism and socialism.

I knew the future would be bad by 1973, watching all the imported cars started to come in, even some of my dumb friends cheated and bought imports. I myself will NEVER own a foreign car.

Basically, globalization, which is what happened to the USA, is really global socialism. We got globalized. And we all know from high school days socialism ends after it runs out of USA’s money.

If you own a store, and constantly buy MORE than you sell, you end up with a store full of cheap crap and no more money.
