JULY 1 THRU MAY 31…Eleven months that are typically less insane.

Though July 1, 2025 thru May 31, 2026 did feature two different sequels to the first wave of politically-correct violence during the early spring of 2023.

INFORMATION ABOUT RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK

Directed by Steven Spielberg and released on June 12, 1981

  • According to the 1999 Wall Street Journal Almanac, the movie grossed $242 million in North America.
  • According to the 2005 World Almanac, the movie grossed $242 million in North America.
  • According to the 2026 World Almanac, the movie is the 22nd highest ticket-selling film of all time in North America.  It ranks as the 10th highest ticket-selling summer movie of all time in North America.
  • According to the 1996 book The Hollywood Reporter Book Of Box Office Hits, Raiders Of The Lost Ark earned $115 million in domestic rentals.  (Rentals is a different measurement than grosses.)  And according to the 1990 book Box Office Champs, Raiders Of The Lost Ark earned $90.4 million in domestic rentals in the year 1981 alone.  (So in other words, the movie earned about $25 million in domestic rentals AFTER 1981.  Which is about 21% of its lifetime earnings…makes sense.)

May 25, 2026…Memorial Day

THE NATIONAL DEBT:  $39.1 trillion

 

Some believe that the only part of the solution to the $39.1 trillion national debt…is eliminating government waste.  For those people, I have a question…

So what exactly prompted the breakdown in the friendship between Elon Musk and President Trump after Elon Musk did so much to eliminate waste in federal spending?

 

THE WORLD ALMANAC.  2026

The Department Of Defense paid O-9’s and O-10’s $18,808 a month in 2025.  So the most the U.S. Government paid any military personnel in 2025 in a single year was $225,696.

$225,696 a year for the highest ranking officers in the military.

The Federal Income Tax Rate for those making over $626,350 was 37% in 2025.   ($626,350 is quite a bit more money than $225,696.)  

  • Are people who make more than $626,350 a year that much more valuable to society than anyone in the military?  
  • Is it possible some folks are overpaid and undertaxed in light of what the government pays military personnel and that the country faces a $39.1 trillion national debt? 
  • Did President Eisenhower know what he was doing back in the 1950’s when he taxed top income earners at 91% to keep national deficits under control?
