Critical Thinking and Reasoning

"Instead, here are a couple of CH-60 Sea Stallions, and we will just sink your stupid patrol boats with some kind-of cheaper weapons like .50 Cal or M2/XM218 machine guns, 'Poof UB Gone.'" Moving On: We Will Have to Wait for Further Clarification & Video Perhaps, it seems a side issue and not much of a story, but let us give credit where credit is due; arguably, at the time, CT&Reasoning floated the theory of the Strategic Petroleum Rese

  [DECEMBER 27, 2023 (20:00 PST)] Here is the [41m] Interview More season's greetings from the left-coast, critical thinkers, Well, I about fell-out-da chair when I was making progress on folding laundry, having had a couple days of sipping wine in the evening [it is okay we are in no danger I am a writer & only allowed for a half-pint of Bourbon Christmas Eve] when heading onto YouTube, Rumble--Blah-bity-blah-blah, up pop Natali & Clayton Morris of RedactedNews.com interviewing Tucker. In previous posts, we have linked to Redacted when particularly relevant to the subject matter. Apparently, in an era of 'X--formerly known as Twitter--Tucker Carlson Tonight is now, The Tucker Carlson Network [TCN.] Paraphrasing: They Began to Awake that Some Nagging Things Did Not Add Up Looking-back, nothing seemed wrong, yet 'fringe' theories began to establish backing and grounding upon further examination by Clayton Moore, A Weekender TV Anchor in the 3rd Largest Market, Ph

  [December 26, 2023 (11:00 PST)] I had not planned to blog after my rambling off-topic attempt at self-reflection which shed some light on my background posted Christmas Day; however, I just heard Dr. McCollough on Dan Bongino's show carried locally on KSFO 560 and monitored here at the criticalthinkingandreasoning.com newsroom. This does not mean I am politically aligned with Dan, but much as he has filled the former Rush Limbaugh daypart [it is a radio thing] which has about half the stations of Slanity's 650 stations, he still has considerable Reach with these big, syndicated shows long part of the mainstream media. He is still going on about the vaxx, sending people to McCollough's website, praising his book, and I can tell you among my friends and colleagues---most are becoming part of The Great Awakening which is exciting news. I expect local TV news departments--which is only viable and pretty much a subsidiary of Big Pharma-- to be the last to be held accountable

  Cali Santa No Doubt at Ocean Beach SF [December 25, 2023 (14:00 PST)] Hi Guys, Whew, I slept so deeply after joining a team from my church handing-out hot chocolate, socks, and prayer for those less fortunate in the Tenderloin, Christmas Eve. In a Departure from Serious News: A Greg Resse Report on Water First fascinated by this subject laid-out on a Portland Cable Access program in the mid-nineties, here is a shorter presentation I thought our visitors might enjoy. Water Crystals Respond to Negative Words vs Love & Gratitude So many times, throughout the day, I ponder having been dropped into SF--where I and both of my sisters were born--returning to attend & graduate from San Francisco State; surprisingly, I look back fondly regarding my first year of twenty in Portland, OR where a man who lived in the somewhat of a flop-house I found myself residing in--along with February snowfall, 1993--I was asked, "What hospital were you born at in Frisco?"

  [DECEMBER 22, 2023 (11:15 PST)] Season's greetings critical thinkers, Hard to believe it has been almost a week since we touched base; finally, the crisis at the border is garnering more attention. Biden is planning to visit and pledging to take some change of course, and as the holidays are closing in, the news cycle is grinding-down--the predictable lull upon us. Not so Sure: Expecting Something Spectacular or Middle East Escalation It has been said that the daily all-time record high of invaders [yeah that is what I said] has reached a whopping 12,000-13,000 people on multiple days this week; arguably, the evidence of the organized efforts to equip people with cell phones, maps and instructions, and loaded ATM cards have been chronicled on voluminous blog posts within CT&Reasoning; furthermore, links were provided connecting readers with former Special Forces--often war reporter--Michael Yon from the staging areas in Panama and the ever-expanding facilities being built for

INVITATING INVASION NATION: 3 + MILLION LAST YEAR 8 MILLION SINCE 2021 EPOCH TIMES: BORDER AGENTS REDUCED TO PROCESSORS TRANSPORTERS RENDERING FIRST AID ALL THEY CAN DO “When you see military-age males coming in, over and over and over—none of them have kids, none of them have wives—and they’re coming in the thousands, that just raises huge red flags,” the Border Patrol agent said. How is this Allowed to Happen? San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond said in a press release on Dec. 11 that more than 50,000 migrants have been released into San Diego County in less than three months.   I just had to go back to skim the article due to my disbelief of what I thought I had read--there it was: Counting “known gotaways”—those who Border Patrol agents record but don't catch—more than 8 m

ABC: Special Council David Weiss Announces Charges Against the President's Son Seasons' Greetings, critical thinkers,  At this hour, I am trying to sort things out; specifically, KRON 4 SF, aired a report about a half-hour-ago of California bringing the charges (?) Then again, Epoch Times indicates the gun charge is in Maryland and the tax charges are from the Justice Department following the plea deal falling apart, moths-ago; recall, it was a federal judge which found buried on pg. 15 (18?) the stipulation that Hunter Biden could never be charged with ANY additional crimes up until that point. The judge saying, she had never seen such wording ever in a plea deal.

  [December 5, 2023 (11:00 AM PST)] TEXAS AG PAXTON SUES FEDS Welcome critical thinkers, Back in 2020, we were told that what had been done to us would also be revealed--in part--in civil lawsuits and this is beginning to bear fruit . We had the upholding of the lawsuits regarding Big Tech & Legacy Media which were brought by the AGs in both Missouri & Louisiana upheld again by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals; currently, the administration is further appealing the matter which will likely end-up before the Supreme Court. Office of Attorney General of Texas Press release:  Is this the real reason his detractors impeached him last year? Here is another view from a site which I respect.

DEVELOPING: AT THIS HOUR NZ WHISTLEBLOWER BARRY YOUNG IS BEING INTERVIEWED BY ALEX JONES & STEVE KIRSCH AP: Schools are Sending Students Handcuffed to Psych Wards Last year, children were handcuffed and sent to the emergency room at least 117 times from Wicomico schools, about once per every 100 students, according to data obtained from public records requests to the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office. At least 40% were 12 or younger. More than half were Black children, even though a little more than a third of Wicomico public school children are Black.  AXIOS: U S Math Test Scores Plunging  THE DAM IS BREAKING [December 5, 2023 (12:30 PST)] Back Jack, I am having trouble prioritizing what to report on next!
