De Omnibus Dubitandum - Lux Veritas

P&D and the Week That Was


De omnibus Dubitandum: Everything is to be questioned.

By Rich Kozlovich

Governor Newsom wants to offer to America what he brought to California.  Imagine that! But when you consider his competition is Beto, Hillary, Michelle, Bernie, Buttigieg, AOC, Stacey Adams, Governor Witmer, and a bunch of people no one heard of, and of course Kamala,  who I'm convinced will be President before this term is over, his chance of getting the Democrat nomination is as good as any of them.   When the Democrats have a choice between lunatics and lunatics, a lunatic will win. 

If the Democrat party was a baseball team they would have the most shallow bench in the history of baseball.

 Political Cartoons by Steve Breen 

"Consider that in California, in order to build anything on private land, an owner must comply with pages and pages of detailed environmental restrictions before he'll be permitted to move a shovelful of dirt.  In El Dorado County, where I live, a landowner must obtain permission from the county to remove any native oak tree of six inches' diameter or more.  For any project on over an acre that has 80 percent canopy coverage by "woodlands habitat," a landowner must retain 60 percent of the tree canopy.  A builder of a large, residential planned development must leave 30% of the site in its natural state.  Any landowner who must ask government permission — or surrender a chunk of his rights — in order to make changes to his property is an owner in name only."

I'm publishing a P&D Today everyday and I've decided to send out the links on Saturday.  However, I actually think it will be better for my readers.  I think when too much is being sent out, people seem to get turned off.  

I subscribe to a lot of sites, and receive a lot of information from those I correspond with. I actually like getting all that information as it takes off some of the burden of doing the searches myself.  I store it, collate it and organize it in an effort to see the patterns.  Life is about patterns and cycles, and the natural function of the human mind is to see those patterns.  I always hope all that will lead to my working it all into articles that are meaningful, insightful, profound and thought provoking. If you can see the patterns the cycles will become clear.

I have a huge draft file, and at times it becomes so large it's almost overwhelming to decide what to use.  Then there are times I fail to store stuff I've been sent and later find it need it for a piece I'm working on, and then I can't find it.  To some extent, its a crap shoot. 

Can there be too much information?  Yes, and there at times my draft file becomes so large I have trouble organizing it and deciding what to use and what to throw out.  There's a reason all these geopolitical sites have specialists dealing with one area of concern.  There's so much going on it's impossible to deal effectively with it all otherwise.  Although I do try to organize the information they send me and present it in a condensed fashion.   All those details lead to conclusions, with the goal of presenting potential or eventual outcomes.  Believe me, that's really a bit of a crap shoot also.

There's far more going on than what's in the news .....far more.....  than most realize, and the dots on all of it interconnect in some way.  Not always in obvious ways I might add.  You have to look behind the curtain because nothing is ever as it appears.  Ever.  

Make sure to follow those daily P&D Today links as there are great commentaries there.

Enjoy this week's offerings starting with my Observations From the Back Row:

And all the rest:
