The Executive Test

Humor 1 Minute

I came across an “Executive Test” that I thought was very telling. The questions are not that difficult and the answers are included. 

How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

CORRECT ANSWER: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door.  This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

WRONG ANSWER: Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the door.

CORRECT ANSWER: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant, and close the door.  This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your actions.

The Lion King is hosting an animal conference.  All the animals attend but one. Which animal does not attend?

CORRECT ANSWER:  The elephant. The elephant is still in the refrigerator.  This tests your memory.

There is a river you must cross, but it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage to cross it?

CORRECT ANSWER: You swim across.  All the crocodiles are attending the animal conference.  This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes. 

According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the executives they tested got all the questions wrong.  But many preschoolers got several correct answers.  Anderson says this conclusively disproves the theory that most executives have the brains of a four-year old.

  1. the TRUTH about piglosi’s sentence
    entire article
    The Associated Press headline says it all, published by hundreds of outlets: “Paul Pelosi gets 5 days in jail, 3 years of probation in DUI.”

    That could cause a reasonable person to think that despite his wealth and political status, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband faced some amount of justice. After all, five days in jail and three years of probation isn’t nothing, especially for an 82-year-old man

    The problem? It’s completely untrue. Or, as my liberal friends would say, it’s “misinformation.”

    Reuters misexplained it further, reporting that Pelosi’s sentence included “four days’ credit for time already served in jail.” Don’t believe that, either.

    So how much time did Paul Pelosi actually spend in police custody? Just seven hours and 42 minutes for his booking process.

    Napa County records show that Pelosi was arrested at 11:44 p.m. on May 28 and released at 7:42 a.m. the next day. That included the ride to jail, a trip to the hospital, a blood test, his mugshot, and booking. Not exactly hard time in the joint.

    For all that, Pelosi is “credited” with spending four days in jail. California law gives him credit for any part of a day, even 16 minutes. Two more days were removed from his pseudo-sentence for “good conduct,” since he didn’t shank anyone. And another day’s credit is for a future eight-hour shift in the court’s work program.

    He was also given three years of probation, though. Doesn’t that mean something?

    Yeah . . . no.

    Pelosi was actually given “summary probation,” which means no check-ins with probation officers at all or interaction with the probation department. Essentially, it means the court can ask him if he’s completed his work program and education class.

    The media were quick to correct false social media posts about Pelosi’s charges being dropped and a fake image purporting to be his mug shot, but they seem to be fine with fooling millions of Americans into believing he was actually punished for his misadventure.

    California has a long history of pretending to be tough on criminals. The media has a long history of protecting Democrats.

    Combine those two, and no one will blame you for thinking Paul Pelosi actually served some jail time.

    So Nuclear classifications are Restricted and Formerly Restricted. They are also need to know and handled by the “Military Office of the White House” for the executive branch So there needs to be some Nuclear Sensitive information (restricted or formerly restricted) or another country spying on Mar-a-Lago/President Trump which would be counter intelligence.

    Otherwise Jay Bratt should not have been involved. Those are his two charges at DOJ, or I should say jobs

    Raheem Kassam: The Mar-A-Lago Affidavit Really Does Read As If They Were Confiscating Russiagate Evidence.

    The affidavit is out. The one wherein the U.S. government found it necessary to raid a former president’s home earlier this month. And despite a whopping 413 redacted lines (yes, I counted each one), the document appears to implicate the FBI, DOJ, and Judge Bruce Reinhart in colluding to remove documents related to the long-debunked “Russiagate” saga. Here’s why.

    Page three of the document asserts U.S. Code 793 (e), 1519, and 2071, which means they were looking for general, “national defense information,” and alleging that there had been some concealment, mutilation, or destruction of records without the approval of the bureaucracy. The problem here is that everyone knows the President of the United States has no ability to perform these crimes, especially as he is the sole arbiter and “declassifier” of such information (as expressed in his lawyer’s letter included with the affidavit).

    What really stands out however, is the FBI Special Agent’s claim, in the affidavit, that there may be “Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI)”, “Special Intelligence (SI)”, “HUMINT Control System” information, “Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act or FISA” details, as well as “Not Releasable to Foreign Nationals/Governments/US Citizens” info, or “NOFORN”.

    Well, let’s use our brains here. What has been the single largest crossover point for all such types of information, as it has pertained to President Trump, for the past seven years? Yep, that’d be Russiagate. And in case you need a brief reminder, Russiagate is the long-peddled, corporate media conspiracy theory that emanated from the Hillary Clinton campaign, as well as Republican neoconservatives, which was then laundered through the FBI, CIA, British intelligence, Buzzfeed, and more, in order to create the perception that Donald J. Trump was a Russian agent and indeed an illegitimate president.

    In fact, more so than the 2020 election, the claims that Trump was a secret Russian agent who defiled democracy in order to capture the White House is the single largest election-denial-conspiracy-theory in history.

    The rest of the document is almost entirely redacted, including a very important segment between pages 19 and 23, where they name former President Trump advisor Kash Patel who explained in an interview with Breitbart that all these documents were already declassified by Trump. What has Patel been most focused on for years? Russiagate.

    The only other particularly interesting part of the affidavit is the inclusion of attorney Evan Corcoran’s letter to the Department of Justice on May 25th, which makes clear that President Trump had declassified the documents in question. Perhaps this is why during the entire affidavit they are not referred to as “classified documents” but rather, “documents with classified markings.”

    Which means that even if there was confusion by May 25th as to whether or not Trump had declassified the documents concerned, the DOJ was made very, very acutely aware of the reality. Even if Trump had removed documents “unlawfully” (not really possible), Corcoran reminded the DOJ:

    “Any attempt to impose criminal liability on a President or former President that involves his actions with respect to documents marked classified would implicate grave constitutional separation-of-powers issues…”

    More details here.

    Despite all this, the anti-Trump, Epstein-linked judge approved the warrant, and Mar-A-Lago was raided.

    Which means this now looks like yet another extreme “CYA” effort on behalf of the DOJ, FBI, and Democratic Party apparatus.

    Russiagate. It always comes back to Russiagate.
