[SEPTEMBER 23, 2025 (15:00 PDT) We started-off this morning with word the jury had gone into session around 10AM our time and the verdict was swift in bringing-in a conviction.

[September 22, 2025 (11:15 AM PDT)] Been a long week or week-and-a-half, critical thinkers, I believe it was two-posts-ago that I speculated we may be heading into a period of Christian revival reminiscent of The Great Depression.

  [SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 (12:30 PDT)] Another Late Night Host has been let go at the request of President Trump, critical thinkers, Who is Jeff Ross? . . .talk banana? Image Credit: Valerie Terranova / Contributor / Getty Try as we may to steer clear of partisan or the Left vs Right paradigm, CT&Reasoning gets dragged-in under the auspices of Kimmel's firing being the top story; at this hour, radio and streaming pundits are speculating if the nags at The View will be next. They returned from commercial to a discussion about RFK Jr and nothing about Kimmel or anything referring to what happened to Kimmel. There’s absolutely no way Whoopi or Joy would not have commented on the Kimmel suspension unless ABC forbade them.  Trump Giving Ammunition to Foes' Labeling Him Authoritarian A lot of troubling aspects to the president's actions--worse yet-- his troubling demands to have two other late night hosts removed if they ". . .turn against him."

  [SEPTEMBER 14, 2025 (16:00 PDT)] Was thinking about my next post, due to the last few days news revealing a trans connection, after all. Upon riding the 38 Gerry Bus [always an adventure through good to bad hoods,] I immediately noticed these Target store-style sized balls going in on the outer sidewalk of Gerry, down Stockton, and surely planned for Powell--think one of two surviving cable car lines--where the new Nintendo store is all-the-rage.

  [SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 (16:30 PDT)] Just a bit of housekeeping, critical thinkers, I needed to go back and see if a retraction was needed after all of the speculation of this being related to  trans ideology; after carefully reading the post, I think I was not in error and just passing along the information we had to go on at the time with links to others making the claim.

At today's press conference, police said they have ruled out involvement of others. What is also weird is the video of the suspect ...

  [SEPTEMBER 11, 2025 (11:00 AM PDT)] This morning brings new developments in the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk, critical thinkers, The Wall Street Journal is reporting the recovered firearm and unspent shell casings contain trans markings; of course, the headlined link on Drudge is paywall blocked and I have been attempting to obtain a readable text Surprise Surprise Surprise Meanwhile, I am scouring MSM to report the story of the firearm being recovered, yet no mention of the trans rhetoric inscribed. Alright, we have the NY Post breaking ranks to publish this pertinent information: Photo Obtained by NY POST Appears to Show Assassin NY POST: GUN RECOVERED AMMO BORE PROTRANS ANTI FACIST MESSAGES It has also been reported as early as an hour after the shooting by an eyewitness that Kirk was shot while taking or answering a question on the repeated trans shootings in recent years.

  [SEPTEMBER 8, 2025 (10:30 AM PDT)] The president just weighed-in on the murder of a Ukrainian woman on a train , and most of the talkers are pointing to this and an execution style in broad daylight in recent days barely receiving any coverage. “And the actions that we take are nothing — this cashless bail started a wave in our country where a killer kills somebody and is out on the street by the afternoon, in many cases, going out and going again cashless bail,” he said. Unfortunately, Trump missed the opportunity to add to his comments the prevalence of the George Soros DAs' and lenient judges at the heart of takeover of justice systems in most of the major cities; a few weeks-ago, Trump said he would be going after Soros funded NGOs using the RICO statutes. Syndicated talker, Vince Caglianese [no wonder they just call it The Vince Show ] pointed to the back-to-back coverage of the Marine, Daniel Penney, who was charged with murder for detaining a violent man on a train a year...

  [SEPTEMBER 4, 2025 (12:30 PDT)] Today, RFK Jr. testifying before the Senate, leads the newscycle, critical thinkers, Before we get to that I wanted to post this news item from the several days-long summit framed for the purpose of improving military cooperation between Russia, China, and North Korea. If I live long enough, it is hard not to envision an eventual takeover of superpower dominance from the United States, NATO, and the West.
