Crazy Like a Fox

Trump's behavior since Joe Biden withdrew from the Presidential race has certainly been, shall we say, erratic- a constant series of ever-escalating lunatic claims.  This has led many people to suggest that he is falling into deep senile dementia.  Now, I am the last person to claim that he is of sound mind; I believe him to be suffering from a very deep psychological disorder that could possibly justify being called psychosis.  I just think there is another explanation for his behavior the last couple of weeks.


Here is what I think is happening:  Trump may be stupid and delusional, but he has always had a deep streak of cunning when it comes to promoting his own welfare.  Trump knows that, essentially, every single person that is going to vote in November has already made up their mind about him, for better or for worse.  No amount of jackass behavior on his part can, at this point, affect anyone but an utterly insignificant number of voters.  However, there are lots of potential voters who don't know Kamala, or have not made up their minds about her.  Unfortunately (for him,) he realizes that the more people see her, the more they like her.  So his main tactic in the near future is to do anything he can to absorb the attention of the press, and prevent people from paying attention to her.


No matter how outrageous, how offensive his behavior is, it will not hurt him with his base.  But the sad truth is that the more unacceptably he behaves, the more the mainstream press is going to focus on nothing else, particularly Kamala's many good qualities.  In fact, the worse he behaves, the more good it may do him.  So you can expect his current malicious behavior to only grow worse, and to not hurt him one bit with his voters.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Just Wondering about that "Bullet"

Image
Here's a photo from the AP of Donald Trump that was taken today, July 27, 2024.  Just to be clear, I saved this photo, took it into Photoshop and ran one iteration of the unsharp mask filter on it. Look at the picture for yourself.  Do you see any damage whatsoever to his ear, let alone the sort of damage that would result from contact with a bullet from a high velocity assault rifle?  I don't want to sound like a conspiracy loon here, but come on...where is there a sign of the slightest damage whatsoever? Something is really wrong here.

Hamas

  Of ocurse I am going to take the opportunity to talk about the Hamas attack on Israel.   First, I'd like to talk about my background, or baggage, regarding the country.   I have lived in Israel, some years ago.   This was not for religious reasons; I spent several months there working on a movie.   During pre-production, weeks of location scouting and shooting the movie, I was all over the country, and spent a fair amount of time in the West Bank, where we also shot.   This included a lot of places that normal tourists would not see, including predominantly Arab areas such as East Jerusalem, the Arab quarter of the old city, Ramla and the southern part of Jaffa, which is predominantly Arab.   It also included heavily Orthodox areas like Mea Shearim.   I dealt with Israeli Arabs, Palestinians and Bedouins.     Here are a few things I believe I learned there:   First of all, the Palestinians I knew were perfectly normal people with the same interest in living a safe, secure
