Several months ago, at a shipyard, a worker there decided I would be interested in their thoughts on slavery. This was a young black man. He was in favor of slavery. I feel like I live in crazy town. I have never in such a short amount of time had so many dumb ass stupid conversations. Wtf

4 weeks ago while I was getting my breakfast, the cook decided to explain to me about how the government was controlling the weather. Then he said the snow was not real. I know that's crazy. But then I ask myself... am I crazy? WTF. How is this kind of thinking so main stream. Still in shock.

Yesterday. In a conversation, people were trying to tell me the covid vaccine changes your DNA and makes you not human, and other conspiracy. I thought to myself, omg, not again! I can not relive the covid debates again! I can not, i just can't, I won't go back. Please don't make me go back.

The world I am in right now is shocking to me. I feel like most people around me are so God dam stupid. Then, I start questioning myself. All these people can not possibly be this dumb. Perhaps i am the dumb one. Perhaps my view of the world is skewed. Nope, it's them.

This explains why putin and the russians are as they are. It's about how the gulag system broke their society. Its why Putin cannot be negotiated with. Only force applied is what they understand. youtu.be/9hPKjiQKntI?...

Egg prices are way up! People are saying Trump hates American eggs and the good Christian folks of this nation, and that is why he ignores this issue! I am just askIng questions, like: Does trump want American to be deprived of eggs? People are saying YES. He is the President!

Egg prices are way up! Trump is failing america on the precious egg issue. He is the president, and I no longer am able to apprehate nuance in any issue, just like my Maga American brothers. Trump is making MY eggs unaffordable! I am angry. Why does trump hate America, and our eggs so much!

They have been hypocritical a**holes for my whole life. Now, they somehow found a way to be even worse. This satirical video is 12 years old. youtu.be/UcaDoq44Lag?...

F these Basta*ds! They eat cake and thumbs up in public view while the nation burns! THIS THE MEANING OF DEPLORABLE AND WORSE!

The closer we get to the trump inauguration, the more think about the movie V for Vendetta, and what happened to the lesbian woman who wrote the letter on the toilet paper. I think things are going to get very bad, and I am worried. I hope I am wrong.

Justice Juan Merchan is a coward. He should have appropriately sentenced Trump for his crimes, and let the constitutional crisis happen. Justice is supposed to be blind. What a disgusting day.

The only source of security for any nation in this world, after Trumps inauguration, will be if that nation has WMDs and delivery methods of their own. We are entering a very scary new world order now. Nobody is safe, and all treaties are worthless. This sucks.

Well the age of stupid brought to us by president king stupid, is getting into full swing. Things are going to get bad, and its all going to be for very stupid reasons and in very stupid ways.

I don't think elon is very smart. If he was, then he would be more aware of how close he is flying to the flame. Elon just has money, not power. If teump wants to, he can take all of elons money, remove all the gov contracts, and put him under federal investigations. A child about to touch the stove

The funny thing is, even after trump betrays all of MAGA dummies... they will still all vote for him. Welcome to stupid america, a new america, where everybody and everything is extra stupid.

I am very worried and afraid about the coming collamety that we all will need to experience because of MAGA and Trump. As a Merchant Mariner I worry I have to materially support Trumps insanity and evil. I am worried the forces of MAGA will come after me. I am worried the economy will fail.

Our allie, Denmark, feelsnthey need to invest $1.5b in defenses of Greenland to protect it from us! This is what Trump is doing! Destroying our nation and its defense partnerships! I hate all of you people who voted for this! www.yahoo.com/news/denmark...

In the past 4 years I have fallen in love with my nation like never before. Now I see trumps aggression toward our friends and allies around the world. From Denmark, to Canada, to Panama. Disrespect to our friends. I feel the old shame returning! My america is going to be gone in about a month.

Slava Ukraini & Glory to the Heros of Ukraine. Defenders of Democracy and Freedom. We will forever be grateful and never forget the sacrifices your people make everyday in this horrible and unnecessary war! Merry Christmas, for whatever that is worth. 🇺🇦 ❤️ 🌎 ❤️ 🇺🇸 ✌️

There is NO good strong man leader. NEVER I wish everybody would watch this warning from a man who lost his nation to the "strong man" youtu.be/pjlYxs_spVs?...

How we live is so different from how we ought to live that he who studies what ought to be done rather then what is done will learn the way to his downfall rather then to his preservation. -Niccolò Machiavelli

Now is the moment, for the United States to put its thumb on the scale in favor of global democracy. In Syria, in Georgia, and in Ukraine. Don't miss this opportunity the way Obama missed his opportunity during the Arab spring. These moments are rare, and we need to tip the scales now!

Cruising on the Baba 30 sailboat.

Working up high on a ship. The Navigational lights must work! US Merchant Marine. I usually hate heights, but this was more fun than I expected it to be.

America's real power is its brains and its ability to do world class logistics! The US Merchant Marine is always ready to support the best of us anywhere on the planet!
