I actually can follow where banning cows came from. Harris has talked before about her mother being vegetarian. In 2019 she gave a CNN interview where she suggested that the US dietary guidelines could be updated to decrease the amount of red meat suggested. To Trump this means she hates red meat=\>she will ban all red meat=\>she will get rid of all of the cows. Still not sure where the idea that she wants to build all new buildings without windows came from. ---

I guess it’s theoretically of some interest to attempt prying some semblance of a reasonable chain of reasoning from that morass of idiocy. For my part, it’s just easier to treat it as a black box. I assume some bits of news or gossip goes in one end, and I know total garbage comes out the other end. I have absolutely no inclination to figure out what magical process happens in the middle to effect such a transmogrification. ---

Trump ( and his team ) pissed me off today by posting on X and other sites a fake story/accusation about Tim Walz. This is Dirty Trickster BS at its Lowest. [( Link is to a WAPO article )](https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2024/10/21/tim-walz-matthew-metro-video/) Evidently an account was created of a well-known social influence who graduated form a school where Walz taught saying that Walz SA’d him. The problem is… the pictures don’t match, the real person with that handle/user name has stated that’s not him and that he never met Walz. Looks like Elmo is trying to create a fake October Surprise. . . . Crap, it’s paywalled… looking for another source… . . . Wait, [Wired is saying The Russians released this.](https://www.wired.com/story/russian-propaganda-unit-storm-1516-false-tim-walz-sexual-abuse-claims/) This may be the wrong thread. ---

> [@Mundane\_Super\_Hero](#): > > The problem is… the pictures don’t match, the real person with that handle/user name has stated that’s not him and that he never met Walz. To clarify since, since I found this sentence confusing. There is an account on xwitter with a guy who claims to be Mathew Metro and claims that as a student he was assaulted by Walz. There is a real Mathew Metro who was a student in the school where Walz was a teacher but who never had anything to do with Walz much less been assaulted by him. Not sure whether the fake Mathew Metro Twitter account had a blue check. (but I bet it did) ---

My father (born 1927, lived in an upper-class north suburb of Chicago) was sent to what was then St. John’s Military Academy in WI after his freshman year in an exceptional high school because he wasn’t showing any real dedication to his future, and was basically being a normal kid. He excelled there, getting great grades and mostly spending his off time in tennis, table tennis, and backgammon (with trophies galore). He then went into the army at the very end of WWII, serving stateside. It wasn’t unusual for rich folks to send their kid off to boarding school. But I’d bet Fred couldn’t wait to offload Donny, and Donny knew it. Accounts describe him as a jerk, and he refuses to let his record becone public. ---
