Critical Thinking and Reasoning

  [October 29, 2023 (17:00 PST)] Okay, after trashing SF on that last post, let's try this on for size, critical thinkers, It All Starts Here--Advance San Francisco Here is the NY Times Take on the $4 Million Dollar PR Campaign to Bring Back Folks to The Big Shi*ty. [October 30, 2023 (10:30 AM PDT)] Welcome back critical thinkers, After a weekend off, back to the grind of what is increasingly referred to as a world at war. critical thinkers, This was posted over the weekend, and I saved it until Halloween Eve, if you will; arguably, if you are not as obsessed with the news cycle, I will provide some context. Let us have a little fun at the expense of others At first, I did not get the famous Seinfeld episode reference of the Soup Nazi. . . Hint: Remember Obama's drowned personal chef found a few months ago floating around in shallow water spawning rumors of his murder while--supposedly--working on a book? Also, you may have missed the medical study with some 40 beagles cruelly

This Just In: Moderate Quake Hits Bay Area ABC7 News Bay Area The phonies [there are a few of them] at local KPIX CBS TV 5--why someone in management has not pulled aside Anchor, Julliette Goodrich, to advise here to quit smoking as the mic picks up her COPD induced wheezing--revealed their " Live" weathercast was being pre-recorded at 6:38 PM when a 4.0 earthquake hit the San Andreas Fault . SFO, the airport, is actually located in San Mateo County, south of SF City/County along the peninsula. . . .look, even Sa

Getting the latest from Roid-ers has me searching for the Preparation 'H  Reuters:  US Sending Additional Air Defenses Systems to Middle East Complicating Matters Further: China Tests Blue Waters with Navy Ahhh, the ChiCom PLA may have the upper hand in the S. China Sea, but this is a first and do not think it will end-up well for the inexperienced--outgunned by Western Powers afloat in the region--if they try to pull something. Alright, it is late critical thinkers, and I will log-in, research our sources, and swing-into action--reporting breaking news as events develop. Labor On, Drake

  [October 19, 2023 (13:30 PDT)] Thanks for Checking-in Middle East War Fatigued Critical Thinkers, . . .well, many of us--including myself--I would assume! . . .really does not have anything to do with this post but found it quite amusing! FIRST ON CNN: US NAVY WARSHIP INTERCEPTS MULTIPLE MISSILES Now confirmed by Pentagon Spokesperson, Brigadier General Pat Ryder, who seemed to imply the ship was not under attack and the missile was on its way to somewhere in the Middle East. This is an Escalation: Read this “This action was a demonstration of the integrated air and missile defense architecture that we built in the Middle East and that we are prepared to utilize whenever necessary to protect our partners and our interest in this important region,” he said at a news briefing. “There were no casualties to US forces and none that we know of to any civilians on the ground.” ". . .protect our partners?" You know President Biden has asserted--repeatedly--that "We stand with

Take with a healthy dose of salt: The Sun: Israel Drone Footage & Wiretap Show Jihad Rocket This morning, many are saying only the parking lot was hit which also caused the hospital to take on heavy damage; what I saw on both PBS and CBS thus far looked like the hospital was heavily damaged. Evidence Emerging Israel Stood Down 4 Hours Upon Attack . . .more on that when I come back; obviously, I want to bring readers the most compelling evidence or credible messaging on this which will take some digging and want a little more time for the unfortu

  [October 16, 2023 (10:00 AM PDT)] Welcome back to the site, critical thinkers, This morning, I lounged a little longer than usual and had the surprise from my talk radio host I awaken to. What was the surprise? The Host of the syndicated Dan Bongino Show floated and then adding what we call backing in those debate classes which I took--backing grounded in facts--that President Biden has either caused or let happen what is clearly the worsening destruction of the United States. He rattled off news item after news item of what we have been subjected to from the border being open to what is now projected to be 5 million migrants by years end, the shutting down of our pipelines and a big chunk of our domestic oil production, sending off much of our military hardware--everything from missiles, 155mm artillery shells now dangerously depleted, and whatever happened to the strategic oil reserve [SOR] Biden drained-out with much of it ending-up being gobbled-up on the world market by who? C

  [OCTOBER 10, 2023 (19:30 PM PDT)] Welcome back critical thinkers. When I first saw the ongoing massacres of families caught by surprise at home, I thought, "Aren't most households armed and practically everyone considered part of the reserve in Israel?" The answer is a completely illogical, "NO." . . . guess you were thinking neutral Switzerland, Drake Anyhow, I cannot understand a country with Israel's tragically bloody history--often under attack from all sides--not striving for a policy-driven plan to arm and train a sizeable portion of the populace; arguably, why you would not have suitable home defense capability in what is a warzone with those who continually vow to want to kill you just a few miles away and militarily attack your country, year after year? Usually, I do not link to Breitbart.com as it skews hard right, but for our purposes today, there is so much news unfolding so quickly, not a lot of time to track-down where I heard this; yet. I ha

[October 9, 2023 (10:30 AM PDT)] I wish I could say good morning critical thinkers, Well, I finished off a third day of Fleet Week airshows culminating with the Italian Heritage Festival & Parade in the heart of SF's North Beach among thousands from what seemed to be around the world. Looks Eerily Like One of the Rave Participants  Think it Cannot Happen Here: That Border has Thousands of Infiltrators Daily  Of course, I am switching gears and have tremendous trepidation regarding what CT&Reasoning has been warning about over the last year. Mainly, the 1,200 military-aged men from China, Venezuela, and other countries hostile to the US--day after day--for the past two+ years pouring into our country; repeatedly, we have posted reports from former special forces war reporter, Michael Yon, showing the US, NGOs, & Soros non-profit funded--coordinated--base camps in Panama's Darien Gap to direct our invasion! Add to that, there is plenty of evidence coming to light that

  [October 7, 2023 (13:00 PDT)] You Know, we have been hearing Iran would be months away from having several--deliverable--nuclear weapons since around the beginning of the year; unfortunately, the undoing of the previous administration stance on a range of issues seems to be in question by many of the experts of which I am not one on this issue; that said, the primary supporter and arms dealer is Iran along with Syria and a few others, if not mistaken. Daily Mail: Death Toll Could Reach as High as 400 France 24: The largest organized invasion of Israel since the Yom Kipper War (1973) I do not need to tell those of us who are on the older-side of life or students of history, this is unsettling for the Middle East and by virtue, the world powers. We will keep you posted. Sadly,  Drake

  [October 5, 2023 (11:00 AM PDT)] Hello critical thinkers, We have a reversal on the border wall from the administration leading the news cycle; arguably, many are skeptical, and I too believe this is an attempt to do something--anything--to try to counter what has become the biggest issue or factor in dragging down Biden's poll numbers. Taking a wait and see attitude, I am rather confused after reading reliable sources over the last two-years that portions of the border wall have been torn down, sold off, and we all have seen the conflict between various federal agencies and Texas National Guard and state law enforcement, for example. Bigger Story: The Supposed Leak to Intimidate Populist Movements Namely aimed at Trump supporters, streaming and broadcast talkers, and some of the most viewed news sites and podcaster seem to be on the same page this morning.

As a politico or astute observer of all things, I am aware the inner workings or power struggles between the parties and their leadership are not of particular interest to many of my peers or consumers of CT&Reasoning. Wanna know what is odd? AP: What to Know About Emergency Alert Hitting Your Cellphones & TVs I have heard and read many proclamations about today's test--including some kind of zombie activization facilitating 5G amongst the vaccinated--apparently triggering the graphite laden cells acting as a receiver--blah-bity-blah-blah. Anyhow, I will turn off all devices, and am in a race to clean my microwave before setting the smartphone inside--becoming a defacto faraday cage!   What is Weird: Russia has had this Big Nuke Drill Also Planned for Today The Sun: Nuke Incoming Siren

  [OCTOBER 1, 2023 (20:00 PDT) Emily List Founder Laphonza Buttler Appointed to Replace Feinstein KTLA 5 LA: FORMER KAMALA HARRIS ADVISER LAPHONZA BUTLER NAMED TO FEINSTEIN SEAT In choosing Butler, Newsom fulfilled his pledge to appoint a Black woman if Feinstein’s seat should become open. However, he had been facing pressure by some Black politicians and advocacy groups to select Rep. Barbara Lee, a prominent Black congresswoman who is already running for the seat. Butler will be the only Black woman serving in the U.S. Senate, and the first openly LGBTQ person to represent California in the chamber. You know, I find it quite revealing that the Dems found themselves painted-into-a-corner with the unpopular Harris--for whatever reason--to be succeeding Biden at the-top-of the ticket. I really do not find her that stupid [she passed the bar.] Or her Hillary-like cackle too disturbing; yet, in several posts, I have floated the idea Harris would be appointed to the CA US Senate seat solvi
