Always do whatever's next.  - George Carlin 

Insightful and brilliant, the late George Carlin referred to random thoughts as "brain droppings." 

I call them brain blurps.

Lately, they have attacked and it's challenging to shed them before being overwhelmed.

My way of recent days has been to get them down as they strike and as fast as possible in sort of a meme format then post to social media; for not only entertainment purposes but to stimulate thinking - which I've no idea how to determine if working. It doesn't matter.  

Anyway, a long list (my apologies and I don't care if you quit reading after one, ten, or 50) of brain blurps since (blurps) commentary three days ago ...

- Self-declared authorities on the Constitution ... What publisher will land the 'Obama/Milley' Conversations?

- WHITE RAGE - the nonsense racist term for "American Anger" otherwise, the "condition" would not be presented by Native Americans, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Whites ...

- FREEDOM - Scripted to be easy. If not, then under attack. Therefore, confront and destroy the attacker.

- LIFE - Better learn to consistently smack sinking curve balls out of the park or it's going to be a loooong "season."

- CAUTION! Not thinking may be fatal.

- CONSTITUTION CRIME - If not able to state and explain at least three of the first 10 amendments - Bill of Rights. 

- A THINK TANK of more than one is not.

- LEFT's LOGIC - Scrap the fetus. Save the children.

- FREE SPEECH - Sometimes hurts feelings. Get over it!

- Sometimes, there's only one option. That option? Marines know - exactly!

- NUMBERS - It's a numbers game. And we - the citizenry - still have them.

- When rules no longer apply, only fools play by the rules. Evil understands strength rules.

- These days I wonder if any of the seniors who gift pocket-size editions of the Constitution have given one to General Milley with suggestion he actually read.

- Who shows up to an insurrection and forgets to bring weapons?

- WORDS - DRAW - SWORD

- Just learned a retired Marine friend tested positive for Covid. Had Moderna X 3. Wow! That's some vaccine. And booster.

- LOVE AMERICAN STYLE - ANGER

- PEOPLE - Relax, when they've had enough there'll not be warning. [That's science/nature and math/numbers in action.]

- Q: What do Y2K and Covid have in common? A: Stickers

- Congress, et al., enjoys vaccine exemption (b/c of possible harm?) but you and yours are expendable. That's representation and leadership by example how? [Other logical conclusion?]

- ANGER MANAGEMENT - Is neither art nor science. Rather, humor and patience which are wearing thinner than a Roosevelt dime with Americans.

- YES - odd thoughts pop into mind. Consider them 'must share' photos of my children, grandchildren, pets, and current meal. 

- Think you have problems? You could be a guy in your late 70s resembling Joe Biden.

- PEON POWER [numbers, even if leaks, matter]

- The Ultimate Redundancy - "peculiar people"

- DO NOT follow nor friend me if offended by civil, blunt truth; as I see it.

- Not much time for writing these days. So ... Practicing the 'precision of (gentlemanly) language' for the greater good.

- Long ago at the beach, met a guy who went by "Surf." Yesterday, bored, "Surf's up" struck me funny.

- TRUE STORY ... Cessna. Pilot - medical emergency. I'm not a pilot. Telling story to a pilot friend and admitting concerns with getting down, "Andy, the least of your problems, the plane was coming down." [Humor of a Marine 20 years my senior.]

- By deductive reasoning, has the Department of Defense officially adapted (blind) "Obedience" as a "Leadership" Trait?

- That Congress enjoys vaccine exemption ... There's the defense for DoD personnel refusing vaccination and facing Dishonorable Discharge. Lawyers, up! 

- Heard rumor in community yesterday ... Upstart portable outhouse company bidding contract for new retail shovel-ready project. Hip neighbor quipped, "Can you dig it?!" 

- TIME VALUE of ... discipline, good habits, money, practice, study, etc. There's not compensation nor replacement. So ... invest! 

- FACTS - The peskiest of the pesky.

- Time it is ... Before any military officer is promoted to general/admiral ranks they must ace an oral and written examination on the Constitution and oath; given by objective party.

- Correct spelling ... CONSTITUTION not CON$TITUTION

- OK, MARINES ... America today is SULE II+ ... You have 5 minutes to form plan and brief.

- AMERICA needs ... BATMAN

- ON RADIO this morning (in so many words) ... President Biden's decision-makers have done such a great disaster, anybody could make the job. 

- Yeah, well, so I bought a Tony Bennett & Lady GaGa album this morning. Why? She touched my heart - Tony has Alzheimer's Disease and what a class act, a kind soul GaGa.

- Constitution protects Freedom of Religion. Citizen declines vaccine, citing religion. Proof enough. The end! What goes on between a citizen and God is no one else's business.

- Downright disgusted with on-duty oath takers. When, exactly, did you decide to renege?

- Do yourself a favor ... Google Sunday past '60 Mintues' and watch the third segment - Tony Bennett & Lady GaGa.

- The Universal Understood Rule: Stupid gets to only go so far ... then, as Marines say, "Stand the f--k by!"

- LUNCH - 'In and Out' double cheeseburger with fries and extra-thick chocolate shake ... disguised as unsalted rice cake and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. But, there was a day. 

- CONSTITUTION Alert! The elite Left want Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. They just don't want anyone else to have them. 

- Economy in Art - Not one brushstroke, musical note, dance step, nor word more than is essential to tell the story. Leave the superfluous to the amateurs. 

- Lady GaGa - Artist; Powerhouse singer; Brilliant marketer; Grounded soul with class. [See: Tony Bennett, her friend, with Alzheimer's Disease.]

- BREAKING ... J&J vaccine now discontinued (for injuring and killing healthy people). Are other vaccines better? No! This is pretty much what bio warfare looks like; from readings.

- President Biden's latest ... "Who's Brandon? And where's he going?"

- No, "winning" election does not entitle usurping the Constitution. See Oath of Office. 

- By good fortune, privilege, and honor I know dangerous people. Never corner these folks - sworn to Constitution, Country, and Colors.

- Mastery is translating complex to simple. Misery is enduring simple ignorantly made complex. 

- Recently, a cadre of special Americans - dedicated to caring for their countrymen struggling with mental and physical challenges - I've friended. Still in awe, no fitting words; yet. 

- Hypochondriacs to the left of me, hypochondriacs to the right ...

- So ... What's government's upper limit to crippling and killing healthy Americans with vaccines? Or the public's upper limit before patience flips to rage and civility turns to combat?

- Two crows, cawing, approached hawk adrift. The crows split giving wide berth - innate survival move? It worked! Crows, cawing, reteamed and flew on. The hawk found another updraft and continued searching for dinner.

- And a virus update ... Still no none I know testing positive has been symptomatic. Peculiar? Natural immunity? Maybe a regular joe smells a rat?

- Today, the not vaccinated. Tomorrow, fat bodies, they're coming for you. 

- Never mind flag burning ... Let's have a national mask burning week before it's enacted a crime.

- It is the citizenry's duty to show government what representation, as outlined in the Constitution, means. Otherwise, endure the government tolerated. 

- Does anyone have the latest 'My Body, My Choice' applicable/not applicable lists/tables? [Asking for a bunch of friend.]

- Recently, I was asked about my elementary schooling. In written reply: "Nun of your business." [sarcasm, Sister Ann Loyola and sister Marie know, an old habit]

- Last evening, after watching NOVA on PBS, an "aha" moment for my wife's Christmas present ... a neutrino (not detectable but it's there).  No gift wrapping required. I just say, "It could be in our home." Follow me for more enlightening seasonal suggestions.

- *** VACCINE UPDATE ***  Per SecDef Austin memo, "fully vaccinated" w/ the single dose of J&J by 08 Nov. Nevermind it was discontinued yesterday for poisoning and killing fit folks. Nice work, Mr. Secretary. 

- Opting out of any "medicine" - for concern it may harm or kill you - is as fundamental to being American as it gets. By force is evil.

- FAT BODIES - You're Washington D. C.'s next "forced medicine" target. So, belly laugh while you can. 

- COGNITIVE FREEDOM - The "aha" moment of realizing there is no actual correlation - other than "agreement" - between words, symbols, and things.

- There's not a song title beyond my picking skills on 5-string banjo. Playing my way, if the song rings familiar - great. If not, "Well, that's how I play it."

- ARROGANCE supreme: Man solving God

- IGWT   I - In   G - God (not gov)   W - We   T - Trust
