Critical Thinking and Reasoning

  [July 6, 2026 (18:30)] What a nightmare getting out of The Presidio's Crissy Field prior to a fizzled 4th of July colored cloud show. After enduring the 20-25 MPH sustained winds at our church picnic, it wrapped-up at 4PM; nevertheless, I began to retrace what had been a mile-and-a-half trek after disembarking public transit.  However, SFMTA had redirected all of the bus lines--after urging everyone to take public transit--to only get just under 2-miles of Crissy field; So, my 2nd $30.00 cab ride of the day ensued, and I watched the fireworks on TV. ABC 7:  WAYMO FLEET TOWED CLOGS PRESIDIO TRAFFIC DRIVING OVER ILLEGAL FIREWORKS Alright, do not want to bore everyone, but fireworks returning next year to the Embarcadero will be a welcomed site.  Meanwhile, while it took almost two-days for the local TV repeaters to file a report on that debacle, checkout what they were dealing with in SoCal: FOUR-HUNDRED ARRESTED IN NEWPORT BEACH RIOT KTLA 5: 350 NEWPORT BEACH POLIC...

[JUNE 30, 2026 (10:00 AM PDT)] Yesterday, I almost posted regarding several SCOTUS rulings on immigration, and the absence of the two major rulings which were expected today. My headline was to be from The Supremes, "You Just Keep Me Hanging On." Always a gamble to predict how the Supremes will rule based on oral arguments, precedence, and jurisprudence, yet most of those legal scholars and pundits were saying the court would rule this way on the birthright citizenship and men competing under their recent transition in women's sports.  Image Credit: USA TODAY what is it with the exaggerated stretching-out of the hands   NBC NEWS: SCOTUS REJECTS TRUMP's ATTEMPT TO LIMIT BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP I think a pretty concise and balanced view on the issue; acknowledging, the huge problem we have--and will continue to have--with so called, birthright tourism. There has been ample evidence that China has had an ongoing program to exploit the situation; understandably, some have...

 Hey there critical thinkers, Major Earthquakes Globally Extreme Weather Across the United States Just having had dropped-in allergy eyedrops, wiping down my face and arms, and putting in nose drops, the 20-35 + MPH wind gusts have continued on an almost day-to-day basis for over the last two-months in NorCal. Makes me surmise, "Are the geoengineers drying-out the state for an unprecedented fire season?" I do not have anything concrete on that, but the Internet is chattering with buzz and speculation. BBC: EUROPEAN HEATWAVE BREAKS RECORDS PUBLIC EVENTS CANCELED NBC NEWS: US LAUNCHES STRIKES AGAINST IRAN FOLLOWING ATTACK ON SHIP Something caught my attention while scrolling through the story: Ever Lovely’s owner company, Evergreen Marine, said in a statement to the Taiwanese stock exchange Friday that the ship sustained damage to its bridge windows, but no injuries were reported and the cargo onboard was safe. Evergreen has had CIA ties dating back to the Vietnam War, and was ...

 Shake Shake Shake: Mendocino County 5.7r  Quake  This morning, I retrieved my phone from the mylar pouch which protects me from any nefarious actors draining my battery or emanating any kind of signals while I sleep; first off, I had received a shake alert. May sound paranoid to some of my readers, but when you are Drake Davis--who had his student loan disbursement "lost" 3 semesters out of five at SFSU [no money for books rent food for up to 7-weeks.] Then, the administration trying to stop my graduation about a made-up missing class--I deduced a plan to destroy my come back was underway. Makes one wonder about some of those meritless terminations from jobs after my congressional run for 1st District Oregon US House in 2006 as the Libertarian nominee. . . . enough about me, we have breaking news all over the place!

  [June 19, 2026 (17:30)] Not a good day for the Trumpsters which are left, critical thinkers, Oftentimes, I like to digest what is unfolding for better part of the day--or two--other times hoping right on breaking news when clear what is developing. This morning, I awoke to network radio feeds of Iran making a maritime announcement that the Gulf of Hormuz would be closing again; overnight, Israel had continued the bombing campaign and occupation of Southern Lebanon with hundreds of deaths or casualties.   Reflecting Pool & Ballroom Debacle are a Metaphor for Trump's Current Failures Here is the Latest: WTOP WASHINGTON: BLUE PAINT OF REFLECTING POOL PEELING AWAY CNN: GROWING NUMBER OF FOREIGN LEADERS HAVE HAD IT WITH TRUMP CALIFORNIA POST:  IRAN FOREIGN MINISTRY SAYS STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS OPEN IRCG CLAIMS CLOSED NBC NEWS:  ISRAEL AND HEZBOLLAH AGREE TO CEASEFIRE VP VANCE CANCELS TRIP FOR SIGNIN G Nothing New to See Here: CT&Reasoning Wrote About All of this For...
