Critical Thinking and Reasoning

  [July 29, 2026 (11:30 AM PDT)] The day of reckoning for crimes against humanity may be coming to fruition, critical thinkers, David Schertler, center, an attorney for infectious-disease expert Anthony S. Fauci, right, is removed by Capitol Police from a Senate hearing Wednesday. (Maxine Wallace/The Washington Post) For some newer readers who are surprised by the above assertion, please go back to posts from 2021-2024 when CT&Reasoning provided links to peer-reviewed medical studies, footage of dozens of professional athletes going into cardiac arrest, TV anchors, reporters, healthcare professionals, collapsing on camera, and the first-hand reports from nurses and doctors of hospitals misreporting of Covid deaths to obtain the $39,000 from the federal government for each Covid death. Those were some pretty long sentences, yet I left out the medical examiners, embalmers, and scientists providing video of huge blood clots the size of giant earthworms, the evidence of the unworth...

  [JULY 26, 2026 (18:00 PDT)] CNN:  VANCE CAINE ASSERT PRESSURE TO NEAR AN END IN IRAN MUNNITIONS DEPLETION On Sunday, US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz said the aid the US has provided to Ukraine in its war depleted a lot of the munitions stockpile. “We inherited a difficult situation with many of our munitions having been given over in Ukraine,” Waltz said during an appearance on Fox News. “A lot of them expended in the Houthis, but we are rebuilding with cheaper, faster, more technologically capable as we are conducting this campaign.” THE TUOLUMNE COUNTY FIRE REPORTEDLY STARTED A 15:00 PDT 165 ACRES View of the Dove Fire on Sunday. As we approach our hottest month--almost on cue and after 3-months of routine 20-30 MPH sustained winds (in SF anyway) everyday--my prediction that the globalist were drying-out the state and at the appropriate time, they would burn it all down seems to be unfolding.

  [JILY 23, 2026 (9:00 AM PDT)] Grimm morning critical thinkers, We wrapped-up the July 20th post reporting that airtankers and additional fighter planes were surging towards the theater of war. This morning, we have both two Saudi tankers hit by the Houthis in the Red Sea, oil jumping to $100 a barrel, and signs that a further escalation is underway.

  [JULY 20, 2026 (11:00 AM PDT)] How Do You Get This Wrong Better Part of the Week Glad I don't have to make that Retraction, critical thinkers, After having their brand (s) damaged, turns out Taylor Farms and Taco Bell are not the source of the outbreak.

Guess the US doing the same now--for years--in the ...

Image Credit: CSPAN Here are some fairly neutral media outlets offering a live stream: CSPAN: PRESIDENT TRUMP TO ADDRESS THE NATION THE HILL TRUMP PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS 7.16.2026 If looking for some after speech analysis, CBS NEWS LIVE FEED Lots of speculation on cabinet members being there in the oval office and what role they will play. Getting the wine, dip, and popcorn ready, Drake (18:07) CBS joined while in progress, and apparently, not originating from the oval office.

  [July 13, 2026 (10:30 AM PDT)] Plenty of weighty developments over the weekend, critical thinkers, Namely, waking-up to the news on Sunday, that a US senator had died, I thought, "Oh, Mitch McConnell has passed away."  Wrong Unexpectantly, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has been reported to have died from a ruptured aorta; immediately, Alex Jones led the pack on speculation surrounding when his trip to Kiev was wrapped-up with a tour of a drone factory having had taken place on Thursday and a press event before departing on Friday morning.

  [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...
