FaceBook and Blog Friends, all:

I took the day off yesterday because there was not much news from the candidates. Hillary was squirming a bit about her deleted emails but I do not expect this to have any effect on her base. I am anxiously awaiting the debate on August 6th. The question is what will The Donald do. Attack or being a statesman. My instinct tells me he will be a Doberman attack dog. He cannot help himself. The more he attacks the wienies he is running against, the higher his ratings. The more the media attacks him, hauls old negative stories out of the slime, the more his lead increases.

Now on another subject. During the debate between Romney and Obama, Mitt brought up that the greatest danger facing the US was not the fanatic Islamic terrorists but Vladimir Putin's Russia. Hussein pooh-poohed this but Romney might have been right. No mistake, the Islamic terrorists pose a serious threat but Russia is more serious. Why? Putin hates, detests Obama, thinks he is a weakling. Before Barack Hussein leaves office on January 17th, 2017 he might attack the US. Putin considers himself a warrior, just look at the macho photos of him. Russia might have a weapon that could destroy the US, it is a Electric Magnetic Pulse that could be exploded 20 miles in the air over the US. What would this do? It would immediately fry all electric devices. The power grid, gone, communications gone, all computers, gone, including those in your car. We would not have lights, no way to communicate with our fleet at sea, planes could not fly. Soon we would have chaos on a scale never before seen. Can this really happen? I do not know but some imminent scientists believe it can. Can we protect against an attack by an electric magnetic pulse weapon. I surely hope so but I do not know.

Drones: I have an inexpensive drone that I use to learn a eventual more expensive one. I believe that drone technology is in its infant stage. I am not so much talking about the large military ones but drones you can buy for a few hundred bucks with a camera attached. Great hobby. Now however I have seen videos of a drone that had an ordinary pistol attached that could fire by remote control, simple control such as an Ipad. This could pose a terrific threat if it was used by a terror organization. The drones are small, hard to detect and can you imagine if on New Year's eve somebody would launch a drone out of a hotel window and it began firing real bullets into the crowd. The panic would be terrific.  A crowded stadium, a crowd watching a parade or a number of other scenarios. Again, this is in the infant stage but the drone technology is developing at a rapid pace.

Well call this my scary Thursday, I hope my predictions will never come true. Obama and Putin will kiss and make nice. The Crimea and Ukraine will not be a problem. The Iranians will honor the agreement. John (swiftboat) Kerry will get the Nobel prize, Hillary will tell the truth and Trump will go away, and oh, yes, pigs will fly. Have a great day, let me know if I should watch out for guys in white coats and a funny looking jacket. Johan, aka Rotterdam Ketelbinkie.
