Critical Thinking and Reasoning

  [OCTOBER 12, 2026 (11:00 AM PDT)] I am increasingly concerned regarding the president erratic megalomaniacal behavior, critical thinkers, . CALIFORNIA POST:  TRUMP TOYS WITH RENAMING ATLANTIC OR PACIFIC AFTER HIMSELF Already, Trump has moved to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” and Lake Ontario as “Lake America,” the latter of which came in retaliation over trade tensions with Canada. Some of those began as apparent jokes and then Trump later signed executive orders to implement those changes. Trump has also floated the idea of renaming the state of New Mexico as “New America” and the Strait of Hormuz as the “Trump Strait.” So far, he hasn’t followed through on those.

  [OCTOBER 3, 2026 (14:00 PDT)] These riots are closing-in on a week now, critical thinkers, HUMAN EVENTS:  WHITE NATIVE FRENCH ATTACKED 15-YR-OLD FLAME THROWER TO FACE French intelligence agencies have identified LFI and other hard-left activists as responsible for initiating parts of the riots. The demonstrations are also becoming a political issue ahead of next year’s presidential election. LFI leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon has critizied the government’s response while other LFI officials have supported the demonstrations. National Rally’s Marine Le Pen has accused LFI of playing a direct role in the riots, writing on X, “This is no longer about high school student protests.

  [SEPTEMBER 28, 2026 (NOON PDT)] Welcome back, critical thinkers,  I stumbled across this story on an alternative news aggregating site and have yet to see it much of anywhere else: JUST THE NEWS:  FAUCI REVEALS FUNDING OF EBOLA MODIFICATION AT TIME OF AFRICA EPODEMIC “These records show NIAID was funding risky research with the Defense Department, and when the results turned problematic, Dr. Fauci argued they should have been classified," Paul said."The email he sent demanding answers went to his longtime special assistant, who has since declined to answer the Committee's questions. At the time of the Ebola experiment, the United States was planning to deploy vaccines to West Africa to address the ongoing Ebola outbreaks there. Fauci noted that African officials from Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone were “going batshit” because they were concerned the U.S. would deploy ineffective vaccines in their countries.

I thought, "George Bush is going to station troops at the mouth of the Persian Gulf under the guise of feeding 'clueless-skinny black people?'" . . . and boy-oh-boy, how they have fattened-up on a diet of fast food & our US ultra processed food!

  [SEPTEMBER 26, 2026 (12:30 PM PST)] Beginning to wonder if all of these extreme weather events are a case of weather warfare (?) The summit between Xi and Trump has concluded; whereas, I did not cover the 3-day visit, the contents of what was discussed were pretty tight-lipped with responses to reports' questions like, "Yeah, we discussed Iran."
