JASMINE CROCKETT DEBUTS THE WORSE POLITICAL AD OF ALL TIME:
Jasmine Crockett launches her senate bid with what may be, despite

THE HIDDEN MESSAGES IN "RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER" AND ITS PARALLELS TO BILLY JOEL'S UPBRINGING:
Maureen Callahan breaks down the hidden messages behind the classic
Christmas tale, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," how it is a story
of bullying and exclusion by his reindeer peers, how Santa represents
a parental figure who neglects to help him, how Rudolph mirrors Billy
Joel's experience as a childhood misfit, and more. https://youtu.be/HhsxUlXwIpM?si=h9WW7u8XfhDBQKNI

THE LOW IQ QUEEN OF IDENTITY POLITICS WANTS A SENATE SEAT:
Jasmine Crockett officially launched her Senate run, and the media
is already calling her the "new star" of the Democrat Party. Trump
says she's a "very low-IQ person," and after watching her announcement,
her campaign ad, and her tax proposal... it's hard to disagree. https://youtu.be/ypvt0eIlU4c?si=4N_1_Iz1IZSNpx6s

That is probably the worst political ad I've ever seen.
"Vote for me because Trump says I'm stupid" might harness
the serious Trump haters, but most people want something
to vote *for*, and she gives nothing.

What did you watch?

I watched several documentaries. The first two were from
History with Kayleigh.

Homo Floresiensis | Extinct Human Species Or Still Alive? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meLBeDaXktY

Human Evolution Explained | Hominid & Hominin Difference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b04itTNyT4s

She's a YouTube prehistorian I haven't tried before, but
I figured she was solid because she's part of the same
sphere as other channels I follow. Her videos are shorter
and more introductory. They also have her on screen most
of the time, so it's part archaeology and part thirst
trap. If you like your well-researched prehistory
presented by a hot blonde in a tight T-shirt, this may be
the channel for you.

I also watched The Divided Brain.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5gsdg9-JTw&pp=sAQB

This was an overview of brain hemispheres, their seperate
functions and interactions. It got neurophilosophical,
including snippets of an interview with Iain McGilchrist.
I fell asleep partway through, so I may watch it again. I
don't take McGilchrist's conclusions that seriously, but
his work often goes in interesting directions.

What did everyone else watch?

Pretty much everything seems to be on hiatus. I had Deep Space 9 on as background noise, but quit before they killed DAX.

Just watched TRACKER. The stupid gets stupider every week on this show. So
the bad guy shoots the buddy cop of the week leaving him 30 minutes to live
to distract tracker. Tracker gets the location from from hacker and it’s 40 minutes away. So the guys already dead, right? So tracker tells hacker to
send an ambulance and meanwhile tracker will drive to Buddy cop and
stabilize him. Because there’s no possible help closer by. Tracker gets to Buddy cop for whom no time seems to have passed a couple minutes before the ambulance gets there.

But the main thing is the kidnapper is named Derek Flint. Seriously? Did somebody think that was clever?

Also, I have no idea if tracker got paid this week. And boy does that
little girl’s hair grow fast.

Well, that part I can live with since the bad guy was just giving his
estimate. He might live 10 minutes or two days without medical help.
No way anyone could know.

That was the crazy part. No way Colter gets to the cop before the
ambulance, but in this case Colter arrives about a minute before the
ambulance. So why did Colter need to go stabilize the gun shot cop if
he was only going to get there moments before the ambulance?

He didn't get paid from what I could tell. Not sure who would have had
the money to pay him. So he did a lot of dangerous work for no money
and for someone he just met.

Which is another level of burning onion.

Made no sense

And arranged to give the kid back to the mom who shouldn’t have her in the first place.

Even for this show, that was horrid. "I didn't hit any vital organs."
That was a stomach wound, ten minutes tops. You could be operated upon
and still lose an unrecoverable amount of blood.

And it was all so unnecessary. The mother was horrid; the grandparents
were correct. They could have obtained at least temporary custody of the
girl without the murders.

Why did he leave Derek Flint's skelaton (Do the writers despise James
Coburn?) in place for a year?

But it had to be the retired cop. The initial investigation was so badly botched, it had to be a coverup.

The mother failed to tell Coulter of the retired cop's personal
connection to the child's father? She's still scum.

I have nothing to add to what others already said. Just awful stuff.

The funniest thing is that she was tricked into running.

Sounds interesting. Brain disorders always fascinate me. My uncle told
me about a student of his who always wrote the second five in "55" backwards.

That was a bad edecision on their part, and her replacement was too.
