Chinese Woman Attacks California Religious Center

       In a time of public dissent and protest, there lurks along side some actions the actions of the crazed fanatic. Recently last month a Chinese woman took action on behalf of her mental state to attack a religious community in central California, in Monterey County on the coast. Deep in the Los Padres National Forest, home of the California Condor, there's a Buddhist Meditation Center located at the ancient Tassajara Hot Springs. The San Francisco Zen Center took over the property in 1966-67 and built a retreat area along the Tassajara Creek. Included was a Zendo meditation building in the Japanese tradition.

     A Chinese women was a visitor in the summer of 2025 and had been asked to leave the property after disrupting all activities because of her abherent behavior toward residents. The alleged aron event took place in the middle of the night, the fire started externally quickly spread throughout the building, completely destroying the structure. All that was left was a partial statue of the Buddha. Photos were posted on line of the early moments of the fire after ignition.  She was later arrested by the County Sheriff's deputies after the investigation revealed her identity. No doubt she has harbored anti-Japanese sentiments fostered by Beijing recently. The Buddhist practice of the San Francisco Zen Center is from the Soto Zen Buddhist sect found in Japan.

      She was released after posting bail. 

They Walk Among Us

      So, the Oval/White House lever pullers are sending more degenerate bulletins out to the public. The goal: create fear and complacency as the Oval marches on to ???????

      Nobody knows the futture, but we have seen the results of actions in the past: history as teacher. We've come to rely on history as it  teaches us how to prepare for the "unknown", aka 'the future'.

      The Chump-in-Chief and his lackeys continue to pump the fear machine as they are unable to move forward from their crazed positions and even crazier  philosophy: The Republican Party Agenda. The GOP has taken the position that America cannot fix itself and a 'new' startegy is necessary to fix the country- a position accepted by 1/3 of voters(maybe). The GOP cannot accept that anybody else can embody the truths as they see them.  The Crazed Oval is definitely crazy. Reading the message sent out under "They Walk Among Us" is reminiscent of Orson Wells infamous radio broadcast that sent a panic across the country as it stated that an alien invasion was underway. It demonstrated what mass media could do when the messaging took place across the country at the same time to all who listened.

     Now the Chump is trying the same tactic(s): scare people; create fear(a great motivator); keep people from actioning protests.

    Where is Stephen Miller in all this? Right at the front, of course. How about Kash Patel in all this? Right at the front. Where is Todd Blanche in all this? Right at the front. Where is the Supreme Court of John Roberts in all this? Right at  the front. Where is Mike Johnson in all this? Right at the front.

So, more fun and games to come "from the front".

Have a nice day.  

Jill Biden and Her Book

    The book is not a history; the book is a memoir of her time in the White House during her husband's term as POTUS. As First Lady, she saw and heard a lot. We now know she said a lot, too.  Hmmm. And what we now know some of the things she didn't say, such as: "No, Joe, don't go for anotherr term. Let's go home."

Belmont Stakes Winner

    So, horses hoofing around at Saratoga, New York. The race featured 9 horses, one of which won the Kentucky Derby just a few weeks ago. So the field was small, not a lot of puching or shoving coming out of ther gate.

     The jockeys of ccourse wwere all jazzed up to be included and they had a 1 in 9 chance of winning. I'd take that bet, as did quite a few spectators in attendance. The weather was pretty good-not too hot, definitely not raining.

       So, off they went and beat a furious path to the finish line. Who pulled it out? Golden Tempo, a horse trained by a woman; not many women trainers pull a win off in such high stakes races. It waas not the first for Ms. DeVaux, and I'm sure she'll be back. 

NBA Finals: Game 2 in Books

    A one point difference: with 9 seconds to go, the Spurs had 2 shots that didn't drop. Two losses to the Knicks who have won 14 games in a row in the post season. It will take a huge effort for San Antonio to reverse a turnament loss.

   It's a sporting event. Things happen.

Game 3 should be just as exciting. Maybe Victor will find some magic. They need it now. 

Russyan Economic Forum in St. Petersburg

   Well, all those Rus economic solons will have a grand old time in St. Pete's: Ivan and Alexei will be issued steel helmets just in case a Ukrainian drone strikes their hotels. VOVA's defenses are leaking. A Ukrainian drone traveled over 600 miles to hit targets in St. Petersburg yesterday. How sad. The Little Dictator doesn't care a twit about the possibilities of impacting his forum guests as they discuss new ways to evade sanctions by the Oval in the White House.

    US Congress hass finally stood up to the Chump down the street in DC and voted to impose "new" sanctions on ther Rus, especially  Rosneft Oil Company, the Rus STate Oil business. The Rus need more income, but oil has been difficult despite rising pricing caused by a logjam at the Strait of Hormuz.

  We'll see how this plays out. But the Ukrainian Drone/missile organization is finding the range not only of Rus oil infrastructure, but also landmarks and other intercity targets, such as a gathering of financiers responsible for financing Putin's War.

Elites don't count in Russya anymore; VOVA doesn't listen anyway. A dictator who isolates himself has only a limited number of days left before the coup which is being plotted as we speak. 

Housing in California: What Candidates Can Do

    So, all the candidates for governor of California talk about housing, and talk, and talk, and talk some more. Then what? Nothing. Nothing changes. People yell out loud: Fix this stupid situation. The solution is staring us in the face. More building. Please.

Problem No. 1: the cost of a building permit in California is the highest in the nation. Why is that? Because the legislature allows all the nay sayers to nudge out builders and buyers who want to be home owners in the state. 

$29, 500 the  average cost of a permit. That is just that-average. What an outrage. There's no need for this other than a policy that promotes sticking it to the prospective home owner/buyer.  Oh, mitigation costs for road/schools/ police/fire, etc. Part of this reasoniong is to shaft the people who voted for Prop. 13 almost 50 years ago who wanted to stay in their homes rather than be taxed out by annual property tax increases. So, "progressives " found the solution: permit fees.  Wanna liuve in California? Pay permit fees so high that they'll give you a nose bleed.

  Fees vary across the state-see Sf. Marin, Sonoma counties. These bastions of NIMBys lilke things the way they are: low population numbers, and enough rentals to allow a few workers to live in cramped apartments so they have jobs around the "hood doing what wealthy owners can't do: mow the lawn, clean the house.

  Don't forget utilities. Yes, you need utilities in your home, but California(Sacramento) has resstricted every utility you can think of: electricity, water, transportation, schools, roads, roads, roads, roads, and more roads restricted-We'd rather fund a "Train -to-Nowhere" @ a billion dollars per mile/half mile.

Gruesom Newsom-get out quick before the accountants find more over spending-axiom of Sacramento politics.
