Every now and then, I take a look at how things are going in the rest of the world.
Here we have the “official” results of the Venezuelan presidential election.
Interesting math.

Guess what they’re blaming it on.
US infant mortality increased in 2022 for the first time in decades, CDC report shows
The infant mortality rate in the United States rose in 2022, the first jump in 20 years, according to data released Thursday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Got your guesses ready? Here it is.
Covid-19 also probably played a significant role in the rise in infant mortality in 2022, Stevenson said. Infections in pregnant women who were exposed to the coronavirus during the major surges in 2021 could have affected infants who would be born in 2022.
You got it, didn’t you?
If it was caused by ChinCOVID, I would have expected the increase to begin two years earlier in 2020…
…when ChinCOVID started making major inroads in America (the first cases were actually found in late 2019, via antibody testing).
I blame the pseudo-vaccines. In fact, I predicted we’d see an increase like this after the pseudo-vax was authorized.
I always take polls with a fifty pound grain of salt, but this is kinda interesting. When Quinnipiac — with its insanely left-biased methodology — says Trump leads Harris by four points, it’s likely that the reality is closer to 12-16 points.
July Polls: Trump Crushes Harris in 13 National Surveys

Folks are questioning whether Biden himself actually signed that letter dropping out of the race. Everyone is looking at that underlining beneath his name.
It is odd, but… Over the years I’ve occasionally embellished my signature in various ways, including a quick underline. I don’t think it’s necessarily significant.
Biden’s signature — and I’ve looked at quite a few examples this morning — varies a lot; full name, initials, and so forth.
Bit look at this. On the left is a previous example of Biden’s signature. On the right is as signed on the drop-out letter. Look at the “B.”
In all other previous examples, the upright of the “B” curves to the right, as in the sample on the left. All. Sometimes the upright is contiguous with the curves, sometimes it’s separated. But that upright always curves to the right… until this last drop-out signature.
That’s odd. Or maybe it’s an artifact of his worsening Parkinson’s. But odd.
A lot odder than an underlining.
So Biden dropped outof the race.
He says he will “speak to the Nation later this week” about his decision.
By which time I wonder if he’ll still remember that he dropped out.
If temporarily.
It isn’t even a conspiracy theory anymore.
Secret Service Tells Senators Shooter ‘Identified’ Roughly 50 Mins Before Trump Took Rally Stage, Sources Say
USSS also spotted Crooks on the roof from which he opened fire about 20 minutes before shots rang out, according to ABC News, citing its own sources familiar with the briefing.
That would be ten minutes before Trump even took the stage. They watched a shooter for ten minutes and let Trump on-stage.
Can you imagine being an ex Biden-era Secret Service agent looking for work; and you have to list “burger-flipper” on your resume to hide your time with the Secret Service?
It’s kinda hard not to be now.
I was two years-old when JFK was killed, so I grew up seeing massively security around presidents and former presidents. The Butler rally “security” was unprecedentedly bad. And that’s with a credible assassination threat from the Iranians. But that’s not quite what pushed me into conspiracy land.
“The security at the event, however, was letting people into the event without any screening and I knew that that was a major security lapse. Someone could have gotten a gun into the event very easily.”
“They found a money clip in my pocket that I didn’t even know I had,” said Hulings. But then I saw people in the General Admission line who were being let in without any screening whatsoever. We were at the front of the expedited entry line, and by the time we got through security there were already hundreds who were down there from general admission. They were just letting them all in.”
You know there is a specific threat against your protectee, so you do less security than normal. You identify a clear line-of-sight potential shooting position, and don’t cover it. You don’t implement the standard general admission screening, and allow hundreds of people through without checking bags; like a bag containing a the rifle used to shoot Trump and at least three others.
Beef up security? According to multiple reports, the SS pulled off at least some of the regular members of Trump’s security detail and sent them to cover Lady Mac-Biden’s rally, leaving Trump’s detail short-handed.
You ignore suspicious person reports from LE and civilians. You ignore civilian and LE reports of an armed man on the potential shooting point you previously identified and ignored.
You don’t pull your protectee out of the line of fire — knowing about the on-site threat — until after he has been shot.
All of that is either:
1. Stupidity of a magnitude that makes wonder how they have enough neural activity to maintain the breathing reflex. Or,
2. “They” (being the Bidenish administration and Homeland Security and SS bosses) knew of the Iranian threat and wanted someone to take out Trump.
Since they are currently breathing, I have to opt for #2.
I have a scanner to monitor local police and fire. I hear the damnedest things sometimes. Like “Respond to XXX Shadowlawn for possible shark.” Could’ve been “shock,” but dispatch said it twice and I heard the “R” in there both times.
Shadowlawn is on neither the coast nor the river. SNL land shark?
But this evening we had a severe thunderstorm blow through; high winds, heavy rain, lots of lightning (the dog was terrified).
And an officer was dispatched to a home where…
Their front door blew open, so they started shooting.
I was doing dishes and missed some traffic, but I heard when the officer arrived.
I’m at the driveway. Tell them they can come out now, if they don’t have any weapons on them.
10-4. The female is coming out with a child.
I really want to know why they thought gunfire was the appropriate response to the door opening. I suspect drugs were involved one way or another.
