An area near where my mom grew up (and which I visited nearly every year for about a decade.)

Indiana man dies after falling into manure lagoon on dairy farm (Fair Oaks, which is a really weird tourist trap for hillbillies. . . Which I had been to as well and consider a decent place to get ice cream or cheeses. . . When not visiting the place I would visit a tractor pull and destruction derby. . .)

Indiana is close enough to the Canadian border that my uncle would buy a weird blue RV that had the steering wheel on the right side, and this story kind of reminds me of it:

The Green Power Ranger (who might actually be acting as the 'White (Dragon) Power Ranger' though should not be confused with the KKK titles such as 'Grand Dragon') died in his Texas hotel room with his wife adjacent in another room where, after they were having a talk and trying to make amends while she was out getting refreshments to help his hangover, she found he would not answer the door and it was suspected he had killed himself (and perhaps someone heard something to make this apparent and she was freaking out and needed to be calmed and kept away from the door prior to opening it.)

The White Ranger (original and clone)

https://powerrangers.fandom.com/wiki/Wh ... er_(clone)

Supposedly a new movie will be out in 2023, and it was the only real acting career he's had (though not a bad career, he was typecast as a B movie actor.) He was even escorted out of one of the Power Ranger (maybe 2017) movie premieres for taking a photo as a momento, where the "security" were busy being good mafioso and cornering him in the bathroom to make sure he didn't dare share any compromising images of the quality of the movie. . . or something to that effect. . . It actually reminds me of when I was watching an early screening of 'Project Blue Book' (a History Channel screening they showed at a movie theater in conjunction with a MUFON Dallas chapter that has since closed down operations) and I went to the bathroom and was considering just leaving but wanted to catch up on what they were saying about it at the end, and the staff were blocking the door to the screening. They can pretend to be wannabe bouncers who think they are making a difference, though most likely are just puppets with ego trips (though I didn't bother engaging with them.)

It kind of reminds me of the irony that the 'Onion News' uses, and in the 211 video it kind of plays into that impression of circumstances.

If you had ever watched a Texas Rangers home game, you likely would have heard the drum sounding in the background, coming from the stadium.

Article: SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 10:17 PM

John “Zonk” Lanzillo Jr. died in North Richland Hills on Wednesday. He was 88.
Read more at: https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/ml ... rylink=cpy
https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/ml ... 67242.html

I was looking over coronavirus deaths and decided to search him up, as I had actually sat next to him during a game in 1992 or possibly 1994 or so, and I never knew who he was at the time, only that my dad claimed he knew him from sales.

He had the drum and a Subway sandwich, and he would play the drum during the game; it was a distinct sound similar to when people stomp their feet in unison (thump, thump, thump-thump-thump,) and he would do some kind of rattling noise with the drum.

And he also referred to himself as Zonk, even then.

This mentions his businesses

Lockheed Martin F-35b failed a basic test of landing.

I've seen articles like this ever since the project was started:

F-35 program's future uncertain owing to design flaws, parts shortages and cost blowouts

Does it seem they are preparing to bring the lemon party to Russia?

I'm snickering because I first saw that report on the fox news website and of course the peanut gallery there were predominantly mocking the stupidity of the criminals. The fox version did not mention the nature of the building, however. Had the fox readers known it was an immigration center, I'm sure they would have applauded the effort, inept though it was.

Oh yeah, and this. . .

Opinion: The solution to the U.S. debt disaster is a value-added tax
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/20/opinion ... d-tax.html

"The U.S. debt now totals an unfathomable $31.4 trillion."

It could also be argued that war is good for business (plutocracies,) and if it was suggested by North Korea in August that they would be offering 100,000 soldiers as mercenaries which they have done on numerous occasions (such as Gukurahundi, a genocide in Zimbabwe) it wouldn't be a far stretch to assume they are inclined to push a genocidal agenda against Ukraine. Expecting a dragged-out and prolonged war will possibly be perceived as having a long-term economic interest. The US is trying to downplay antagonism by Russia.


Here’s what will happen to the economy as the debt ceiling drama deepens
https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/22/economy/ ... index.html


“If that happened, our borrowing costs would increase and every American would see that their borrowing costs would increase as well,” Yellen said. “On top of that, a failure to make payments that are due, whether it’s the bondholders or to Social Security recipients or to our military, would undoubtedly cause a recession in the US economy and could cause a global financial crisis.”
