We have lost so much more than we have gained.

In my lifetime, the above picture represents the technological progression to date. For the youngsters from left to right, vacuum tube, transistor, and integrated circuit. When I was a young boy, the world ran on vacuum tubes. TVs were huge and the vacuum tubes needed a minute to warm up to produce a picture and sound. Those early TVs needed periodic maintenance too. We had a TV repairman who came every so often to change out the vacuum tubes that were getting weak.By no means, this era was not perfect for everyone. Our Black sisters and brothers…

GM Hikaru Nakamura, what a nice person.

  • Post author:
  • Post category:Opinion

Hikaru's chess prowess is only eclipsed by his even temperament and his humility. My first interaction with Hikaru was to admit how wrong I had been about my own chess-playing skills. Hikaru was playing without his queen by sacking his queen for a lowly pawn against low-rated players at first and then for a minor piece against high-rated players. I had wrongly thought I could be Magnus Carlsen without his queen.In the chat stream, I wrote how mistaken I was to Hikaru after seeing him vanquish player after player that was as much as 600 or more…

Mark’s current grievances with America.

MadonnaI haven't forgotten what Madonna said on stage in front of the White House the day Donald Trump was sworn into the presidency. Nor will I ever forgive her. Forget who was sworn into the presidency. What is important is what Madonna said. Madonna mused about killing dogs, children, people of color, and women all to kill one man, President Donald J. Trump. Madonna wasn't speaking off the cuff. Madonna read from a paper she was holding. Madonna is very bright. So, what she said can't be pardoned for stupidity. "I have thought a lot about blowing up…

Senator, I can’t define the word, woman, I’m not a biologist.

I watched the first day of Ms. Jackson's Senate confirmation hearings. I really like her and what she had to say about the constitution and how she approached the discharge of her jurist duties. The Republican senators made a big deal about Ms. Jackson's sentencing record on child porn offenders. I could not form an opinion because I did not have access to the court records.I thought, "Nothing to see here, Ms. Jackson is a conservative Democrat." Thus, I did not plan to watch the second day of this confirmation. The next morning, I was studying my…

My intent in creating this article is to make me accountable for progress toward the rating of 2000 on Lichess.com. My username is Pullen1961. I can be messaged on Lichess or at MarkPullen@DCDocumentReports.com. My goal is to enter one or more videos of my chess play into this article daily. I have been using my ALS as an excuse to not work daily toward this rating.My peak rating was at 1570, however, for some period of time, I was feeling lightheaded and dizzy. My rating dropped a hundred points. I will give a brief description of each…

The above photo is of Hunter Biden from his abandoned laptop. The below list is of past intelligence officials who signed a statement of claim the contents of Hunter's laptop's hard drive was Russian disinformation.Jim Clapper, John Brennan, and others on this list were the biggest Trump-Russian collusion hoaxsters. Brennan and Clapper almost made nightly appearances on CNN to undermine the President of the United States by promoting Hillary Clinton's "Big Lie" of Trump-Russian collusion. I ask; what should befall these 50 former intelligence officials? I am flabbergasted these 50 officials suffer no danger when moving among…

Amazon Prime’s attack on the Black community.

I was watching Twitch TV. A commercial for this show came across my monitor. I was shocked to see and hear this take on Cinderella. The who's who of Hollywood are participating in this attack on the Black community. The Democrats have fully infected the White community with this woke sickness. The Black community led by its strong women has resisted this woke infection that is spreading across America. I will show the trailer for this abomination below.A Black man floats down to Cinderella. He introduces himself to Cinderella as her fabulous God Mother [I guess fairy…

What happens in Ukraine stays in Ukraine?

  • Post category:Opinion

The situation is complex, and it is hard to know the true facts. However, if one dons the Democrats' woke goggles, all becomes clear as to what to do. I won't just yet don these woke goggles. Ukraine is the largest country by landmass in Europe. During WWII, the Western portion of Ukraine collaborated with the Nazis to build and operate killing camps for the Jews. The Russian people suffered the heaviest combat losses during WWII because Hitler invaded Russia. Putin is claiming there are Neo-Nazis running Ukraine's government and the government has been shelling the ethnic…

Hillarygate: What’s the truth?

  • Post author:
  • Post category:Opinion

I wasn't going to cover Hillarygate, however, Jesse Watters made a claim I could not ignore. Watters said Hillary's campaign planted disinformation on servers in Trump Tower to frame Donald Trump. I accessed Judicial Watch's site to review John Durham's latest court filings. I reviewed Durham's filings with the court, and I found no mention of inserting files onto servers. However, Judicial Watch acquired through litigation the emails of the following persons: Rodney Joffe, April Lorenzen, David Dagon, Steve DeJong, and Manos Antonakakis. These individuals were contracted to build a narrative that proved candidate Donald Trump was…

I was in Fresno for the fire season. I was scheduled to have duty for six days a week for five months. I was between my two marriages. This was just a day before the 9/11 attack on our country. I remember it as if it was just yesterday. I was driving to the firebase the morning after my last two brushes with death when I stopped for fuel for my truck. As I entered the station market, I glanced at the elevated television. I saw the twin towers in NYC burning. I thought; "That's a movie…

Mark Pullen’s take on this meeting.

  • Post author:
  • Post category:Opinion

Forgive me for channeling woke 2020 campaigning, Joe Biden. Biden all but condemned America for its sin of slavery. Biden implied this sin was unatonable. Biden also promised reparations to the descendants of those slaves as did Kamala Harris. So I ask, why did Biden meet with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz? Yes, America's long in the past of keeping slaves was very bad, but what the German people did in the recent past eclipses any wrong the American people ever did. As a result of Germany starting WWII, 85 million people perished. And lest you forget, Germany…

I have ever since my childhood awoke at 5 .am. I have a built-in alarm clock. I am 100% when my eyes open in the morning. To the woe of my wife, Mary, I still arise at 5 .am even though I am retired. While I worked, I didn't use an alarm clock. I have never been late to work.  I was 16 years of age when I went to Lake Tahoe to attend a summer runner's camp. The last track season, I had beaten the world's greatest athlete's time in the 1,500-meter run. I had beat…

I have only voted in California. However, I have witnessed the voting conditions for more than five decades. My parents were registered as democrats, but they voted for Republicans since FDR with the one exception of John F. Kennedy. My parents took me with them when they voted. I've seen the voting conditions both under a red and a blue state. To my misery, my father always took me to the DMV. I can still hear the clattering of the workers' typers. In those days, the DMV was filled with cancer stick smoke.The lines were long and…

Let’s go, Brandon! The Dems are outraged.

For those who don't know, last spring a reporter from NBC was interviewing NASCAR driver, Brandon Brown. The crowd of hundreds was chanting, "F_ck Joe Biden!" This chant could be easily heard by television viewers. The reporter tried to cover up what the crowd was chanting by misrepresenting the chant to; Let's go, Brandon. The reporter said to Brandon Brown, your supporters are saying, "Let's go Brandon!" How does that make you feel?The Democrats have called this phrase a seditious death threat to Biden. They have called for the arrest of those who dare to utter this…

The Federal Reserve: How banking works in America.

Before the advent of the internet, I often wondered how bankers made a profitable living. How did banks stay afloat on loans that wouldn't be paid back for thirty years? Where did the new money come from for the bank to make new home loans? I knew the deposits didn't cover the loans the bank was making for thirty-year mortgages. All of this ties into our national debt and the Federal Reserve is at the center of this as to why our money is debt.The first fact is the Federal Reserve is not part of America's Federal Government.…

Sports and games: An experiment in Reparations.

  • Post author:
  • Post category:Opinion

To see how reparations would affect the fabric of society, I propose these changes to our sports and games. It would be interesting if the eligible players would take advantage of these reparations' changes to their events. In team sports, would White players become too much of a liability? Would basketball and American football become exclusive African Americans-only sports? I find it interesting that neither Biden nor Harris has made an honest effort to implement reparations despite what they promised while campaigning for the presidency.I am neither for, nor against the notion of reparation for our African…

Kamala betrayed the Black community and no one noticed, but me.

Kamala Harris is devoid of any ethics and certainly any morals. Willie Brown, a married man, had sex privileges with her. Harris sent Black men to prison for smoking weed and she admitted to smoking weed in college and laughed about her usage. Harris called Joe Biden a racist on the debate stage. When confronted by Stephen Colbert, Harris quipped, "It was a debate." Harris also by her admission called Joe Biden a rapist. Harris said she believed all of the women that had come forward to accuse Biden of sexual misconduct. Harris is by her own admission…

President Brandon is lying about fuel prices.

  • Post author:
  • Post category:Opinion

President Brandon said he can't do anything about the rising fuel prices. That's not true. In fact, the high prices we are experiencing are by design as part of his plan. Brandon was transparent about his plans to cripple America during the campaign cycle. "I promise you, I will end fossil fuels."-Candidate Brandon. Candidate Brandon made this pledge to a woman in early 2020. On the debate stage, Brandon said if elected, he would end fracking for the production of oil and natural gas. While it's true that fuels are sold on the commodity market, our presidents…

The facts and just the facts of the Rittenhouse case.

  • Post author:
  • Post category:Opinion

Firstly, contrary to what the liars on television are saying, Rittenhouse did NOT cross the state's line with a firearm. This fact was shown in the courtroom. This shooting incident was NOT racially motivated. All of the people that Rittenhouse shot were white men. Rittenhouse is not a white supremacist. The media and the D.A.'s office had a year's time to pour over what Rittenhouse had said and what he had written. No evidence was introduced in the courtroom that Rittenhouse is a racist. Moreover, the media in tandem with the Democrats labeled Rittenhouse as a white…

Attention Durham: Sidney Blumenthal must be indicted also.

  • Post category:Opinion

Hillary Clinton lied under oath about her relationship with Blumenthal on October 15th, 2015. Clinton told Trey Gowdy that Blumenthal was only a friend of hers and certainly, he was NOT an advisor to her when she was the Secretary of State. The emails of Clinton proved otherwise. During Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State, Blumenthal was paid the sum of $10,000 a month from the coffers of the Clinton Foundation according to internal emails between Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills. These payments appear to have continued while Clinton was vying for the presidency.People assumed their donations…

Scott Adams introduced me to the theory of the "Simulation".  Adams broadcast live on YouTube daily at 7 am PST daily. Adams is an honest broker of the truth. To wit, I highly recommend your viewership. Adams talks about a wide range of topics during his broadcasts. I don't listen to Adams to have my ears tickled, but to have my views challenged in a constructive manner. Before Adams, I had absolute certainty of the nature of the universe. The video I will show adds more evidence that we are living in a Simulation. More than any…

Biden told Anderson Cooper he would defend Taiwan militarily from China. After the town hall meeting ended Business Insider reported; "The US defense relationship with Taiwan is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act," the spokesperson told reporters.Who is the unnamed spokesperson? In effect, the spokesperson from the White House told the reporters Joe Biden wasn't authorized to make the decision to defend Taiwan. From the Washington Examiner; “There has been no shift. The president was not announcing any change in our policy. Nor has he made a decision to change our policy,” press secretary Jen Psaki told…

CNN is not the only bad actor.

  • Post author:
  • Post category:Opinion

What prompted me to write this article is what I saw on Dave Rubin's show two weeks ago. Dave showed Nancy Pelosi using the hand gesture of the okay sign. I noticed afterward that Joe Biden was using it too. The media claimed the okay sign was a White supremacy sign when President Trump used it. The reporters were silent that made the claim during the Trump presidency. That really bothers me to no end. Six months ago, a UK rag said Matt Gaetz was going to be indicted by a grand jury in two weeks' time…
