Good morning/evening, readers, concerned persons, professionals of all disciplines and work. Today, let us talk about what is more confusing than braindead correspondents and government bureaucrats: daylight savings time. 
We’ve made it through a week of Standard Time: but notice, the kids, cats, cows, and deer aren’t paying any attention at all to the clock!
Fun fact: The idea of “springing forward” and “falling back” was first pitched by a New Zealand entomologist in 1895 – not to save energy, but so he’d have more daylight to collect bugs after work. Talk about chasing efficiency.
So if you’re dragging this week, don’t blame the night shift – blame the clock. And maybe grab an extra source of caffeine (if you are caffeine-normal) before you check the mud pump readings, deal with that latest government demand, or answer your first phone call of the day!
And remember, the DST/ST fun is all courtesy of government.
Fun fact #2: The States of Hawaii and Arizona do not practice DST. However, the Navajo Nation does do DST, although the Hopi Nation (totally surrounded by the Navajo) does not.
There are many other fun facts and weird things about daylight savings time.
But remember, a sense of humor really helps us make it through life.
The Price of Liberty 
Scandal or coup or what?
We constantly fail to learn from history: even recent history. But especially from ancient history. Especially when it comes to doing nasty things, like overthrowing republics, enslaving people, and pushing tyranny. From dynastic conflicts and conspiracies in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, through the checkered and sickening history of Greek city-states and Phoenician/Carthaginian tyrants, to Rome, France, England and all the way to 2025, we know that power corrupts, that absolute power corrupts absolutely, but that even a little power can and usually does corrupt those who hold it. Especially when it is stolen.
In these united States, we have great suspicions about many changes of power. Especially as the power wielded by Congress and the White House has grown with the years. We can look all the way back to 1860: did Honest Abe really win California’s electoral votes, or were there shenanigans? What exactly went on behind the scenes in the fiasco of the 1876 presidential election? Exactly was really the case with Woodrow and Edith Wilson, especially in 1916 and in 1920 after the war and the European “peace” that was little more than a 20-year-long ceasefire.
Sliding back a few years, were the income tax and the direct election of Senators really ratified? Or were games being played and evil deeds done? Ditto for the origins of the Federal Reserve. Going forward, exactly what led to Wallace being dumped by FDR and a tool of the Pendergast Machine (Harry S Truman) put in as VP with a straight path to nearly eight years as President? We know that LBJ stole the Texas election for US Senate in 1948, just as we know that Richard Daly stole Chicago and therefore Illinois and the 1960 election for Jack Kennedy. With strong evidence, some only vdery recently revealed, that the same corrupt Deep State elements, led by LBJ and J. Edgar, disposed of JFK three short years later. Just as many people have serious doubts about Obummer’s Senate
The above exchange indicates several concerns we have about scandals, coups, conspiracies, and such activities. One is calling them scandals: To us here at TPOL, virtually every act of a government agency or individual is a scandal. And so are many acts of former gov ernment employees and government contractors.
