It was initially speculation

That is where I was this morning. I had a speculative view on President Trump, but with the news that CBC gave me a few hours later (at https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/trump-gordie-howe-bridge-9.7081924) where we see ‘Trump threatens to block opening of new bridge between Windsor and Detroit’ and it comes with the statement ““I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve,” Trump wrote in the post on Monday.” So if people are willing to bite into this one sided setting, beware. The words “until the United States is fully compensated for everything” is a presumptuous setting that I might have been more correct than even I figured out I was. As I see it the United States is out of money, or perhaps more accurately they are scooping the final dollars from the bottom of their coffers and they are now in a day by day setting to figure out what bills to pay and which not (like the Jersey train tunnel) for that story see yesterday’s blog.

I wonder what commerce President Trump thought they had coming from the Gordie Howe bridge. And the ‘sort of’ response that Canada received was “Trump made the threat amid a 299-word post in which he said Canada has treated the U.S. “very unfairly for decades,” complained that the bridge was built “with virtually no U.S. content” and repeated his criticism of Prime Minister Mark Carney “wanting to make a trade deal with China.”” We can snigger all we like against the response which might be considered one of the least intelligent and least fact laden responses that any government has EVER received. And as I see the debt driven United States flex whatever lard they have, we see that these are the final acts of a nation that has no more. It wanted a debt driven society and now you see what it amount to, less then nothing.

Could I be wrong? That is always a fair question and I believe I am. I saw these settings evolve from the stupid attempt to convince that Canada might become the 51st state, then Greenland, after that Venezuelan oil and Venezuela, like a desperate crack whore trying to get one more score. And now that all this is failing they are stopping the Jersey tunnel (for which funding was already achieved before Donald Trump became President Trump and now we see the Gordie Howe Bridge, optionally one of the the last straws that could bring commerce to Detroit. When you see all these settings and after they already shutdown the building of wind farms (some speculated that this was to appease the oil owners). All whilst President Trump is shutting down higher education to some degree. As CNBC gives us with ‘Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ may spur significant changes to higher education in 2026 and the rise of ‘un-college,’ experts say’ (at https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/08/trump-big-beautiful-bill-college-education.html) where we see “Ballooning college costs and the student loan debt that goes along with them are partly to blame. New borrowing limits for 2026 under President Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill” are another factor. Plus, students are increasingly seeking job training and career-driven pathways to secure a foothold in today’s softening labor market.” When you take away the boasting elements we see that the United States can no longer afford the streams they themself instigated and whilst the world is becoming more and more aware that AI does not exist (merely Near Intelligent Parsing (aka NIP) which amounts to DML and LLM) and all these settings are getting a front seat at the legal court cases that are now under advisement. 

We are getting Legal Misconduct/Hallucinations (Australia), Copyright Infringement (Disney and Universal), Training Data Disputes (GEMA won a case against OpenAI), Evidence Issues and AI in Sentencing. Then there is a chance that I have a case against parties in Singapore and the United States over what could be AI abuse of my Intellectual property and whist some ‘claim’ that this could be set to $1,500,000 per case I am looking at an optional 6,000 cases, so I might be wringing my hands fairly soon (unless a deal is made). We are seeing all these events in play all whilst that so called “Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’” which could be another setting for a ‘dream castle in the sky’ or at least that is how I would like to phrase it. All these elements seem ridiculous, however it amounts to the setting that the United States are out of money and that is before they consider that the $500,000,000,000 towards StarGate LLC might be a wash (basically a massive write-off). If you want to consider that I am wrong, feel free to do so, but I do request that you take a hard look at the fact that the media isn’t giving you because I made mention of this setting as early as July 8th 2024 in ‘Two issues caught my attention’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2024/07/08/two-issues-caught-my-attention/) and I made more mentions earlier than that and the media is ‘caught’ unaware? 

So, do you think that I am merely speculating? Or is there something to be seen? I am not telling, I am asking. I gave my version and you are seeing why is playing. In the first, why would President Trump stop a project that has assigned funds and would secure the new jersey line for another century because he is demanding Penn Station and/or Dulles Airport after him? Are people nuts? There is more in play than the sanity of one man, because if that was true Wall Street would have made a massive outburst in the direction of the White House, but they remain silent. Why? I believe that I was right all along, but I understand that my word might not be much towards others. As such you should investigate yourself, it is only the best you can do. In the meantime, I will stand with my Canadian brethren, because that is what a Commonwealthian does. He (She also) stands with his brothers and sisters.

That is what I have to say over the situation as I see it, it might be speculative, but too many facts seem to feed this speculation. I will leave it up to you to decide if this is a mere speculation or my brain going nuts, or perhaps there is more.

Have a great day today.

I was seemingly unaware

It happens, at times there are things I do not know. Most often because I don’t care and this was about the USA, as much I kinda don’t care. Through YouTube I got the news that President Trump stopped the the Hudson Tunnel Project in New York City. According to the source the funds are stopped until Donald Trump, gets Penn Station in New York or Dulles International Airport in Washington, DC after him. To be honest I have never witnessed any president of any nations to be this self absorbed and (according to some) be the highest Russian mole ever to be inserted in the American administration ever. As such the US administration has evolved a long way from senator Joseph R. McCarthy to a president that appeases the needs of Russia. Yet, in all honesty it might be the craziest thing I have ever heard, so whilst everyone it willing to set this to paint the crazy man in the White House. There is the setting that is also being appeased (by me). I don’t think that President Trump is this crazy. I think that he merely wants to be seen this crazy. Consider that Wall Street, the Senate, Congress and the Judicial setting of America has plenty of really intelligent people. As I see it, he is stalling. And the setting I see “GDC says an extended suspension will put at risk approximately 11,000 construction jobs, as well as the 95,000 jobs and $US 19.6bn in economic activity that construction is anticipated to generate overall. It adds that delays to the project increase the risk that the North River Tunnel, which is due to be extensively refurbished under the project, will have to close.” Which is given to us by the International Railway Journal (at https://www.railjournal.com/financial/judge-offers-hope-for-hudson-tunnel-project/) and I am currently stopped by the 20 billion dollars and the 95,000 attached jobs. What if America is now in a much tighter schedule? What is the money isn’t there and this administration is looking for a way out, is playing the court jester (even though he is nowhere as gifted as Rigoletto, court Jester of Doge Enrico Dandolo) and we are all buying into the jester act. And as this administration is allowing for these events, even though we are given “However, the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) began withholding federal funding for the Hudson Tunnel along with the Second Avenue Subway project in New York City in October, stating that the requests for payment could not be processed pending a review of the projects that it had ordered.

GDC warned during a board meeting on January 27 that available funding and credit used to keep the project going would run out on February 6, forcing the suspension of work.” We are also given that this ‘delay’ is merely temporary. And all these settings give me the feeling that these acts are merely that, acts. And as I see it the stage is that the United States is now running out of money. There are too many settings that do not make sense and all the money draining settings are either cancelled or (like wind farms) or delayed as much as possible. And that setting does not compute with me. As we are seeing that there is yet another ‘crazy’ kink in the cables of the America Administration, I believe that there is more under the hood and whilst certain people are using whatever stakeholder they can to avoid digging into the areas that matter to get a clear picture. 

So whilst I will consider the thoughts on how entertaining Rigoletto was in 1201. So, all you have a great day and I will see you on the flip side of things. Have a great all, its too early for breakfast in Vancouver, but early breakfast in cold driven Toronto feels fine to me (its 29 degrees and almost 22:00), way too warm for me here at present.

The stage was set

That is the setting I now engage. Yesterday I got an idea for a movie, a massively violent movie and I had it before I had the idea for a new game (see previous blog) and even as I had a few ideas that coincide with this I decided to put it here. Feel free to use this, perhaps the new studio in Saudi Arabia (at https://www.arabnews.jp/en/features/article_160242/) can use it for a new protege to make it into something useful. I do have another movie (I actually have 4) but only one has a decently finished script. I am using the word ‘decently’ as I never made script before and I actually hope to sell that one. So the new idea, I put here on my blog and let you guys figure it out. Perhaps someone at the PlayMaker Studios in Qiddiya City can use it. You gotta seed the field somehow. 

So here goes. The movie came from my mind after reading the ICE events in America and my mind had to make a few changes to that setting as there was a chance that it resembled Collateral Damage (2002) with Arnold Schwarzenegger and I don’t do remakes of someone else’s ideas (or at least not to my knowledge). So here goes

And that is how far I got. So should someone at PlayMaker Studios see something in this, have a go at it an spruce it up a little. This took a mere 1 hour of my thoughts and an hour typing all this. After all the BS on AI and all that other jazz, it was nice to actually be creative again and perhaps tomorrow there is some creativity left. But that is tomorrows problem, who knows the AI bubble might burst overnight, weirder things have happened while I was sleeping. 

Have a great day, It is almost Monday (in 2 minutes time)
