e. If you thought that climate change was going to destroy the world and you really thought that the climate models were telling you something useful, and you knew that a huge portion of the world, more conservatives than that, don't believe climate change is even real, what would you do if you were the government and you are absolutely sure that it's the biggest problem in the country, in the wor…

Well there's a new device, an implantable LED device that uses some kind of light treatment on deep-seated cancers. So the idea is they put this little LED right into your body and it would be where there would also be a light-activated drug. So the light, the little LED that would be inserted into your body would light up the drug that's let's say near the cancer. And between the light, what would you call such a thing? What would be another word for that? Let's see if you had something toxic in your body, in this case the cancer, and you wanted to put some kind of light in there to get rid of it, what would that be called? Well if you're a Democrat and you're an idiot you would call it injecting bleach into your arm.

Do you know why you would call it that? Because that's what they did call it when President Trump talked about the technology which did exist and which he did know about, which is the UV light technology that was being planned in which they would use some kind of catheter to put an LED light that would be UV light in this case down your trachea and potentially into your lung and that would radiate your lungs. And they were testing it. It didn't work out by the way. Didn't work. But the idea was that they would disinfect your lungs with light. And the idiots called, Democrats to a person, I don't think a single one got this right, said oh you mean drinking disinfectants, which turned into oh you mean drinking bleach, which turned into Joe Biden saying injecting bleach into your arm. That never gets fact-checked. Oh actually it did get fact-checked. Daniel Dale did fact-check that but he also, Daniel Dale, incorrectly fact-checked that the president was wrong and unclear.

Here's what really happened. The two experts on the stage, Birx and whoever it was, were less aware of that technology than Trump was. So when Trump brought it up and mentioned light, he very specifically mentioned light before the comments and then light after the comments to make sure that you knew he was talking about light. And the two experts, Dr. Birx in particular, confirmed that he was talking crazy. No, he knew more than you did. He knew more than you did about that topic. He was trying to show off and it didn't work out at all because the experts knew less than he did. So he was trying to show the world that he was up there with some experts and he could engage with them on a topic that the public wasn't so aware of. It would make him look like he knew what he was talking about. But instead the idiot experts decided to misinterpret him as some kind of drinking disinfectant. And then the world went with that one, one of the biggest hoaxes in American history. And the entire Democrat world thinks it was real and it's become part of Biden's campaign. No it's not injecting bleach, you idiots.

All right, scientists have developed an invisible mask. It's kind of a hat that blows air down from the hat and they say it will block those viruses coming in. Oh great. The last thing I want is a new technology to keep my body away from the real world. I do not want a mask hat. No mask hats. No mask hats.

Well another news. Elon Musk won. He was fighting a five hundred million dollar severance suit over the mass layoffs on the old Twitter, to which I said to myself how could they possibly win that? What kind of job did the Twitter people think they had? Did Twitter think that their jobs were like the magic kind where you don't get fired just for any reason whatsoever? I've never held a job where I couldn't get fired for any reason they wanted. So Musk comes in, fires eighty percent of them for any reason he wanted, which in this case was making money, and it worked. I have a feeling that maybe they started the lawsuit before it was obvious it was one of the greatest management moves of all time because it worked and X is heading toward cash profitability this year, at least cash positive. Now that's embarrassing that they even brought that suit. I mean to even bring that suit makes it sound like you don't know how anything works, like you've never had any experience in the real world. How did all these people go to work in a capitalist world? They got a job and a paycheck and somehow they didn't think that the boss could fire them for any reason he wanted. I don't know.

Elon Musk talking about mail-in ballots said this. When combined with mail-in ballots, meaning the election, the system is quote designed to make it impossible to prove fraud. He says mail-in and drop box ballots should not be allowed as cameras on the in-person voting stations could at least prevent large-scale fraud by counting how many people showed up versus ballots cast. That's a pretty good test. How many people walked in, you could just count them and then you can count the votes and you see if there's more votes than there are people. But you can't do that if it's just you know bags of votes that show up.

Now here's what I liked about this. I like that he framed it as design. It's designed to not work. It's not accidentally not working. Meaning you can't tell if you got the result you wanted. You could definitely tell if you got the right result if you didn't do this. So why would you introduce into the design the one thing that would make the election the least credible and open it up for the most fraud unless your intention was fraud? Don't you think it's obvious that the intention is fraud? Because the arguments are ridiculous that you know you're going to get the wrong answer in the election if you do it all in one day with paper ballots even though that works everywhere. Everywhere they do it, it works. But we would be the only country where it wouldn't work. And it's all this about Black people can't get driver's licenses. I mean it's basically pure racism.

And here'

s the more common sense thing to say. If voting in person is enough to keep you from voting, given that you could probably get off work and you could probably do it after work or even before work, given that almost everybody in the world can figure it out, do you want any part of your democratic process to be determined by people who wouldn't be able to vote in person? Now I get it, NPCs. You're s…
