To get a real id in the US one needs to prove they have a Social security number. To prove this you need a Social Security card or a recent paystub with your Social Security number on it, which pay Stubbs don’t provide full social security numbers any more and most of U.S. citizens hide and can’t find because we don’t want identity theft. So I guess the government doesn’t want a large minority traveling by air.
The more that one knows, the less one knows. How is that possible?? Well if one is inquisitive and you question what you have just found out, you will have to realize that you there is more out there and if you are doing your research you will realize that there is more to your question. If you’re really inquisitive you should realize that there’s more out there then what you have realized and a smart person would realize how little they knew about what they thought they knew. This holds true for science, economics and especially history, it may even be true in math(?).

The end of World War II the United States became a superpower, manly because it was not touched by war destroying its factories. Whether it wanted to, or not the dollar became the wold currency. The world looked to the U S as we overspent(?) on our military hurting the adversaries by forcing them to spend too much to keep up with the United States.
Ah but now we have people in power who actually think that cheapening the dollar is good for America? They feel that spending less for the military is an outstanding idea after all America wastes billions on billions of dollars on military spending.
The buying of goods and services in the United States is rather inexpensive compared to the rest of the world. ( Well most services anyway). We now have people who will be in charge who think that it’s an outstanding idea not to have competition with the rest of the world, that in all probability will put the United States populous on par or worse in a lot the rest of the world in affordability of goods.
*Gee I hope I’m an idiot!

Well, well , well, how can anybody say that the United States 🇺🇸 can make the claim that the U.S. of A will not be a supper power, after all the U.S. is getting rid of all those deep state deal wood 🪵 with no nothing bosses. 🤔 do you think 🤔 that by hiring some one who knows nothing about the agency’s that they are supposed to run is a good 😊 idea 💡. Do you really think 💭 that no nothings leading agencies such as the department of defense, the FBI and ,the justice department is smart. Oh I forgot intelligence. It’s this crazy 🤪 blogger that believes that in a years time lawlessness in America 🇺🇸 will quadruple, we will have to rely on our allies for intelligence because the moral of those who actually are good 👍🏾 at their jobs will be nonexistent if they are still at their jobs. Oh let’s have some one run the defense department that how shall I put this, is antagonistic to the professionals that run the department, kind of like what Putin did for Russia 🇷🇺.
Pray 🙏 for us , or at least pray 🙏 that I’m a total no nothing idiot.
The jobs reports are in ADP says that the U.S. created 146,000 jobs. The Labor Department said that the U S created 227,000. Who’s right, who’s wrong, who cares!

If the government was really serious about reducing spending the most obvious thing to do is let private enterprise run the space program. They would also eliminate all the subsidies for EV’s, let the private companies fend for themselves like we did in the late 1800s and early 1900s…….
I’d rather be an idiot than right, for being an idiot my country and my family will be safe and affordable. Being right, the price of goods and services will triple, the arm forces will collapse and turn into a joke. Why oh why would I say this. Well when you hire hacks for the arm services you shouldn’t expect good results. When you put taxes on goods the prices of those goods will go up. We get a lot of our food stuff from Mexico, as I know very well as the lettuce I just bought was from Mexico. The stocks that my pension owns will take a hit, because the American companies that have plants in Mexico will lose money depressing those companies stock.
Now if I’m an idiot and none of these things hold true, it’s good for me and my family.
Now I understand that there is a plan underway to cut government spending. There is even two gentlemen entrepreneurs who are in charge of finding ways to cut spending in the American budget. . Now there might be some waste in American spending, thought I find it hard t believe. Our highways are a mess. Try flying and the lines because of TSA. What about trying to get Social Security?Are theSocial Security offices fully staffed? What about getting a doctor. What about Medicare? What about getting a speedy trial? What about tax collectors who collect tariffs ? Do we really have too many people in the patent office? Do we.have too many people in the congressional office in the district offices?
WTF 😳, The Palestinians we’re on the land first. No, there were Jews on the land going back to the Bible and never left. G-d promised the land to the Jews. The Jews pushed the Arabs out by way of the gun. No the Arabs tried to push the Jews out with intimidation and violence. The UN proposed that the land be split between Jews and Arabs. The Jews said yes and the Arabs said no. No says some this was always Arab land and the Jews just took it……I know I’m missing many arguments but so what, the real reason there is an Israel, is just like every country on the face of this earth it has to do with with tribalism, nomadic people, and survival. There isn’t a country on the face of this earth that is any different. Justification be damned. In that respect Israel is no different then any country.
*************************************************************************************Those who complain that the Jews who came from other countries to the River to the Sea must also complain about Arabs and Muslims who immigrated to Europe and the United State for their freedom and their lives. Oh the hypocrisy.
The stock market in the United States is a Ponzi scheme. Oh no, that can’t be true. After all a lot of the wealth is based upon the price of stocks. We say at the price of stocks is based upon earnings or what the company is doing. Of course that’s not true. The price of stocks Is based upon what people or Pensions are putting into it, even though a good portion of the major stocks such as Tesla don’t pay dividends .That is a Pyramid scheme. I don’t understand why people should care about how much money the company makes if they don’t get any money out of it. In all logic that’s just a pyramid scheme. We really don’t know if the company is really making money or not. We trust the audits just like we trusted the auditors in Enron. no, if I’m not mistaken and Enron was the fifth richest company in America when it went bankrupt. Now I personally wouldn’t care if it wasn’t for some buffoons claim that Social Security is a Ponzi when it at least pays out the money it takes in.
Well of cause there is going to be mass deportation of those migrants who came into the United States illegally, didn’t the president elect just hired bosses who are more then Go home to get those who they believe are here illegally. The problem is that he’s going to have to hire thousands upon thousands, who will throw those illegals out. Do you think he has the ability to do this?

This is not the first time that Immigrants were thrown out of the United States. During war time we have been known to throw or intern immigrants out.
We threw immigrants out of my country just after WWI, especially those that had socialist, communist beliefs
This presidential election proved none thing that no one ( no one ) has stated so far that money can’t buy you victory in elections. The Democrats had a far advantage over the Republicans in fund raising and spending yet look at the results.
The Democrats and many Republicans have this mistaken idea that you need to have more money and outspend your opponent or ya gonna lose.
The problem is the Republicans had a massage that the voting population believed, and the only message that’s the Democrats is that they are running against the devil, which the populist didn’t believe.

History lesson - everyone thought that Richard Nixon was dead in politics after he lost the election for California governor, and he became president.
One of the Trump’s campaign slogans was that there was no wars that he got us into. Now there was an American President who campaign on a similar slogan and he lead us into WWI. Just saying!!!
Susan Wiles ( Trumps new Chief of staff ) dad was Pat Summerall. This is the Guy who got me interested in professional football. First as a kicker with the New York Giants, then as the guy I would listen to on televised NFL games. How can I ( as much as I want too) not like the daughter of the guy I watched and listen to when I was when growing up and as a person in my 20s.
Gee I just read the take by B Sanders on what went wrong 😑 with the election and and how the Democratic Party forgot the working man. Well…. That’s one of many that in all likelihood is wrong 😑 headed in the thinking 🤔 of what the workers wanted.
My foolish take on what the Dems got wrong is they let the craziness of of gender identification get out of hand. They didn’t blame the Venezuelans sneaking over them Mexican border on the Republicans who egged them on to come to the states while the getting was good and their fore having a campaign issue. There by reversing the issue. Now as far as the issue of inflation is concerned 😟 I remember not being able to buy toilet paper in the beginning of the pandemic 😷 hmmm.2020 and who was the pres?
Guess who outspent who by a lot this present election cycle. Ya think maybe the Republicans have better people running their campaigns?
America voted for stagflation in yesterday’s election. What do I mean by that. We voted in a person who said that he will make tariffs higher, the price of goods will go up, as in any non free market. Our business will have a hard time selling overseas, forcing them to open factories overseas there by reducing our work force.
It appears to me that a major reason the Democratic Party took it n the chin was the illegal emigration that in all probability was caused by the Republican Party spreading the word to Venezuelans and other Latinos that they had better try to sneak in to the states under a weak president.
There is a strong indication that American farms need those immigrants to work on their farms to keep the cost down, if the cost goes up on say eggs and milk it’s called inflation.

Holly Hanna we only added an anemic 12, 000 jobs this Oct according to the Department Of Labor, but wait a minute ADP reports a robust 233,000 new jobs created in Oct. That discrepancy is way, and I mean way out of line. Who do ya trust? 💁
👍🏾 Guess what you financial gurus I pay $99 some times less for $100 worth of groceries from the supermarket, you geniuses pay the full price or at least that’s what you claim. Oh my how do I do it?I have credit cards that I pay no annual fee. I get 1% at least for every time I use it. I have more then enough money in the bank in liquid assets to more then cover my expenses including what ever I spend with with my credit card and cover the credit card expense as soon as the bill come i. Now In my world I would be a fool not to takin up, the offer of being paid to borrow money and paying no interest on that money borrowed. Oh the lender makes up more than that by charging the merchant.
Porky Pig in his latest press conference started yelling at the interviewer that the English speaking humans were misappropriating terms like pig sty, hog tied, pigs in a blanket.

If Donald Trump wins the up coming US Presidential election. You may say that this blogger is kidding after all Donald Trump is good buddies with Vladimir Putin . And isn’t the United States the leader of the Western World? Well there is a good chance that the NATO countries will keep him at his word and they will say good by to the United States in NATO. Most of the NATO countries have no respect for and they would let the US leave at the bat of an eye. The former Eastern bloc countries in NATO without the restraint of the United States would love to bash Russia and it’s allies and with the build up of arms that they has been happening in those countries this blogger can very well see an armed conflict that would not go well for Russia.
President Trump might try to intervene but it appears to this writer the American armed forces would stop him even if it leads to a civil war.
I have another idea that I’m sure no one will listen too about Israel, Hezbollah, and Hamas, and you can throw in Iran. How about a 48 Hour cease-fire even if it’s one sided so Hamas, Hezbollah and possibly Iran can get new leadership to negotiate a permanent ceasefire fire and a truce between themselves and Israel.

Notice I don’t use the term Middle East. I don’t do that because there are more then Israel and Palestinians in the Middle East and many of them are having Their own wars such as Syria civil war. Libya civil war, unrest in Iran and Egypt too
A 21 year old has sex with a 16 year old and that’s considered rape yet a 13 year old or younger can have a sex change operation and that’s considered ok. There are more women graduating college then men yet women are considered an oppressed minority. We talk about the absent of fathers in the home and blame men yet most divorces are initiated by women. Women fought hard to have equal footing with men in sports yet now there is a vocal minority that says that it’s alright to have persons with extra testosterone competing against women. Women are proving that they can just as produce against the opposite sex as men, maybe more so. There are black men and women in the United States who complain about slavery that was over a century and a half ago yet they are putting invisible chains on black persons and putting them in a slavery state of mind.

Just how many rockets can Iran and its allies fire. Just how many rockets and drones can Russia use against the Ukraine? Just how many rockets can Iran fire. It appears to this know nothing that Iran and Russia are giving each other Rockets and drones and buying these articles of war from countries like North Korea, it appears that they are using them up faster then they can manufacture them. It may also be possible that because of the need in a hurry that the quality of their rockets and drones might not be up to snuff.

Just heard on the news that some doofus was out side an event that ex President Trump was giving with a loaded gun. Let’s assume that this doofus was out to assonate the ex President that would put him one ☝️ up ⬆️ on ex President Ford who had 2 attempts in one month.
Speaking of which assignation attempts , the one ☝️ just prior then ( assignation attempt ) was some guy was waiting in the bushes ( as reported ) with a loaded rifle. Oh I almost 😅 forgot this guy was on one of the ex President’s golf ⛳️ courses . WTF 🤬. This was Trumps golf ⛳️ club. What he has no freakin security, or is it so bad that some goofball can lay in wait with a gun for several hours?
Oh no the Jobs report difference from ADP is 143,000 vs the job report from the Dept of Labor is 254,000 new jobs
Now I am told that ADP job report is from actual taken from their clients and the dept of labor includes government workers, I’m not sure of this, I could have sworn that several years ago they both came from telephone surveys.
Oh 💩 the US may be going the way of Venezuela after the elections. No you clowns 🤡 I’m not talking about the Democrats, I’m talking about the presidential candidate who talks like Nicolas Maduro, who walks like Maduro and thinks like Maduro, Oh and lease I forget cheats and lies in the election process like Maduro. Now I know how many of ya all will comment that Venezuela is a commie state, well so is the People Republic of China, and there more capitalist then the US ( Your 💩 ing me some of the 🤡 s would say) (1). Is that so called “ conservative” party telling private companies what to do? Yep! Is their presidential nominee calling for crazy anti competitive economics. You Betcha! (2)
(1) They have competing car companies and non state computer companies, least we forget Tik Tok their social media company.
(2) Telling private companies how they should handle social issues goes way back like old Commie countries such as the German Democratic Republic.
Taxes are inflationary. Oh not in the usual way one thinks of inflation, the price of goods and services going up. No I’m stating something that’s very different. I’m stating that if your an hourly workers a person you’ll have to put in more time. If your taxes go up on your interest you’ll have less money ( your money deflated) and if you are using the money 💴 in the bank 🏦 thus the purchase you make from the savings decreases and thus the cost of said goods and services has gone up (huh 😯) ? Suppose you pay capital gains the money that a person 🧍 receives that perhaps 🤔 that personage is using it to buy goods or services, it would then cost more then the if it was purchased before the raise in taxes, ( wtf 😬) nah..
*************************************************************************************
Thinking 🤔 out loud on paper
Something that’s kind of insignificant
💁 Ta hear some prognosticators, government is the Villain of business. I have even heard some goofball economist say that taxes have never created businesses. These buffoons don’t know💩. Taxes pay for the roads that make the shipping of goods cheaply. If it weren’t for taxes there would be no space X or other private space explorations that haven’t quite innovated past what government has done. Would Tesla be as successful as it is if it wasn’t for the subsidies that we taxpayers gave it? Would we have micro wave ovens if it were for us taxpayers? ( the answer is no). Would there be intellectual theft if it wasn’t for us taxpayers?
Now I understand that some people might be a little upset in what they perceived as handouts. Do these idiots understand that first thing about business, 👩💼 naw they haven’t the foggiest idea that by giving food stamps help create a market that produces more food. Speaking of food helping the farmers also helps keep the price of food down. Helping the poor helps with the creation of jobs for the middle, creating wealth for those who invested in businesses such as Home Depot.
My gut hates paying taxes, but my Brain say it’s more of a benefit then a hindrance, even though I’m not getting money directly.

Hmmm….. I been noticing that when the stock market goes 📈 up it seems that the price of oil 🛢️seems to rise. It also seems to be true of government bonds.

The Job repots are out. ADP reported 99,000 new Jobs for August, Labor department reported 142,000 New Jobs for August. If you look at the numbers, the labor Department reported 1/3 more jobs. It may be insignificant because both ADP and the labor department report so few (?) new jobs for Augest.
WTF 🤬 do I mean is Trump the new Cromwell. Well my brain 🧠 is telling me that the Donald shook up the old system in US politics that a great many of the citizens wanted, But there really isn’t a political party and the populist agenda is different things to different people. Now if my historical memory serves me correctly that seems to be Cromwellian ( new word). In other words the apoplexy will long for the old system when he’s gone. The fact of the matter there are some ex followers of him that long for the old ways now.

Alright all you investors out there and you poor unfortunate works…beware of those darn CEOs who have know what’s happening 24/7.Who criticize and gets into everyone’s work.
(1) They make everyone nervous and if the workers are nervous most are bound to make mistakes.
(2) They can very easily take away innovation that’s not their own.
(3) They tend to take away from their product, too much focusing on themselves.
(4) They tend to hinder the company and possibly destroying the company, because they brainwash the workers and investors that they can’t function without the omnipresent CEO. (There are exceptions such as Apple (MAYBE).
The helicopter CEO is worse then the helicopter parent!!!!!!
For all you dummies out there, money doesn’t make the world go round. Nooo the winner of elections doesn’t always have the most money. It doesn’t matter how much money you have in the war chest, it’s how you use it and what your message is.
Maybe 🤔 I just misread that Elon Musk said that you can’t sell your Tesla car on the open market. Well were I come from if you buy something you can damn well do as you please with that product ( as long as it isn’t harmful) . If you want to sell it you have every right to sell it or even give it away. You own it. If you all can’t sell it or do what ever you want with it’s really not yours. If it’s not yours you really don’t own it 😛!
Why do the Democratic Party insist on insulting me ever time they ask for money, isn’t my vote more impotent then my money. I have yet to be asked for what I want from government instead of assuming what I want.
Why does the Republican Party’s presidential candidate insist on insulting the Democratic candidate. Why does he insist that he did a good job as president when all he did was make a bad situation with the pandemic worse.

What is presidential candidate Kamala Harris’s economic plan? Well I keep hearing that no one knows what the presidential candidate has no policy plans. Well I might not know what her foreign policy is but I damn well know what her economic is for America. Ya see she’ll just follow the current President’s policy of inflationary reduction act making the US independent, making drugs more affordable, investing in American energy including clean energy. Investing in infrastructure, things like roads, electrical grid so we won’t have problems of power outages in the future. This is a carry on of the Biden administration.
Oh I hear the complaints from the Anarchist party (better know as the Republican Party) complain about the Biden administrations economic policies even though it appears that his policies are for the future.
*************************************************************************************
I have a problem with almost all economic policies, there’s no talk of training people for the new jobs of building roads and electrical grids to my knowledge. A matter of fact I don’t seem to see any talk of people be put to work by either parties. And yes we need more government workers.
RFK junior on 8/23/24 stopped his third party candidacy for the president of the United States😫. The big question is are those few who would have voted for junior going to vote for MS Harris, or they going to vote for 45, or perhaps not vote at all. If those few vote for 45 that’s a win for Trump. If they don't vote at all that’s status Quo. If they vote for Harris that’s a slight win for her.

It’s come to my attention that the politicians in the United States want to kill Social Security. They don’t say it outright but 45 and the present VP are saying that we shouldn’t pay tax on Social Security. Hell no one likes to pay taxes, but that was the President Reagan administration way of keeping my social security solvent, even though there had to be in the Clinton administration tax even higher the workers that was put into the social security system. Now we’re running short on cash in the system right that we are taking money from the general funds to pay the interest on the social security bonds. So for the short term those who have other income will not have to pay tax on their social security depleting the funds faster then anticipated and only getting 70 cents on the dollar that was excepted.

Oh Trump is leading in the polls…Oh Harris is leading in the polls. What ever happened the the sage advice, none of those polls matter until September?
Oh what ever happened to doctors making house calls?
What ever happened where the doctor that you went to wasn’t an employee but a business owner?
What ever happened to there was a more hospitals, were there was a bed for every patient in the emergency room and the care on received was symptomatic because the nurses and doctors didn’t feel overwhelmed?
What ever happened when you see the doctor and he (or she) would tell you if you don’t have the money right now, pay me when you can?
What ever happened to health insurance companies were all non-profits ?
What ever happened to trusting our children with being vaccinated?
What ever happened to having enough doctors and nurses for the population?
We have men’s sports….We have women’s sports……Why can’t we have trans gender sports? Now as I seem to recall there were trailblazing women who who made ( at great sacrifice) women sports as important as men’s sports…In international competition women were tested for testosterone and if there was too much that person was banned. Sooo my proposal is that nooo a trans person can not compete against a female…that would be a insult to all the pioneers in women sports..Being not a total bigot I think it would be fair to have trans sports just as there are men’s and women’s sports.
Donald Trump wins the next presidential election. He starts saying and doing things that are incomprehensible.

🤷♂️WTF! What does or in the case of Barack what did he have that Donald has? Well it not the skin color. It’s not the business expertise that Donald has. It’s definitely not the government expertise that Barack had. Nooo it’s the outsider and new face in politics. Barack Obama was only a US Senator for approximately three years. And that makes him a relatively unknown not giving the American public a chance to know him. Now unless I’m guessing wrong 😑 the American public doesn’t like it’s long term politicians and they don’t perceive the Donald as a politician. So put it this way the American 🇺🇸 voters want something different, a new face, that hasn’t been in public eye 👁️ as a politician for ever and ever. That is why Senator Vance is a great 😊 pick for VP on the Republican ticket 🎟️.

Question ? If for the middle class family owning a house is generally considered 40% of their net worth and the middle class family can’t sell their abode at the price that the house is assessed at because no one can afford the interest rates and has to take a major discount does that mean because of high interest rates the family’s net worth goes down.

Did they clear up back orders.ls Tesla like Enron Filing false reports? Is Elon Musk a big con man like Bernie Madoff? I hope not ! Tesla employs an awful lot of people.
ADP reported 150000 new jobs in June, of cause the labor department reported 205000 new jobs for June 2024
The US Constitution should say that there should be a spot on the presidential ballot. This is none of the above. If none of the above wins the presidential vote a new election. should take place with new candidates within one month of the first election.
The reason I’m saying this is because there are too many people aren’t impressed with the present presidential candidates and would like to vote for someone else.
Oh if you want to be happy 😃 with your new car 🚘 buy a model with that has been out at least a year. Try not to get to many innovations in a returning model. Why you may ask? You gotta get the kinks out first. NOW I know that ya see them test driving the model and it looks great and does all those wow things, but just think about, those things that you hear about and see (social media, and the boob tube) are not in all likely hood not made on the assembly line. Sooo if you want to be happy 😃 with your new car 🚘 let the other sucker 🍭 buy the new model car first.
Here we go again, the conversation about federal minimum wage. It’s been $7.25 since 2009. That is low except that at least 35 states have minimum above that mark. That includes Fla. Unfortunately the communist state of Texas follows the federal minimum wage.
Being that this blogger is not in his right mind I have a wild and crazy 🤪 idea 💡 to help cool 🆒 the ear. Well it’s kind of cold 🥶 on the ocean floor, so what if us earthlings pump the really cold water 💦 from the floor of the ocean to the surface which may or may not help cool the surface f the earth 🌍 or maybe at least help our coral reefs.
Holy Moly Batman they keep asking me for money, all them politicians. I don’t care what they call themselves Republican or Democrat they all want money. Money seems to make the political world go round. I along with other members of my congressional district are inundated with adds in our e-mail, real mail and instagram. After a while one ask one self do I really want to vote? I keep hearing that this is the most expensive congressional primary ever, well let me tell you the money spent on my congressional district’s primary is money not well spent. This is going to be true of presidential election coming up in November. Didn’t those running for political office take rudimentary economics, and learn the law of Diminishing returns.
You heard of MAGA ( make America great again). Well I say that not good enough. I say Make America Greater Then Ever. What’s wrong with America that we don’t have enough doctors, enough hospital beds or nurses. We should have the best healthcare in the world. We are afraid of competition for our industries, so we have using tariffs to stymie competition. I say that it’s time for our industries to prove that they are better and that we can compete with any country no matter how they are subsidizing there industries even if we have to subsidize those companies to modernize them to make them the best in the world. Our housing should be second to none in cost and livability. I say that no person as they get older should worry about poverty, and for that matter ALL children shouldn’t go hungry and have the best education in the world…Make America Great Again, no let’s Make America Greater Then Ever.

I’m a dreamer This s what I want for America. Let’s look 👀 toward tomorrow, not yesterday. Do I think 🤔 that America can reach utopia., probably not, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive for it.
Darn I have seen the aging of the presidency right before my eyes. First I saw Ronald Regan become the oldest president to be elected. Then I saw Donald Trump who was even older then Ron Regan, and then along came Joe Biden who was even older. Now age wouldn’t be relevant if it wasn’t for the fact that said mentioned presidents were and are going senile. So senile that they had or are having trouble knowing their parents, and children’s name. There are days that the last two presidents have a problem knowing their own names.
I’m over 70 and I see in myself that great thing called brain fog and sometimes irrational behavior. Now what does this have to do with me being prejudice. Well to put it mildly I think there should be a cut off by age of anyone running for office of 70 years old. That means no Bernie Sanders for senate. No Joe Biden for president, and no my evil twin Donald Trump for president. I even think that there should be age discrimination in the U S Supreme Court with mandatory retirement at age 70. Yep I’m asking for age discrimination for law makers, those who interpret the law and those who uphold the laws.
To this crazy writer it makes no sense that we send players from the WNBA to the summer Olympics to repress the U.S.. The WNBA is in mid season when the Olympics takes place, so I ask my reader how good a team will the U.S. have with so little practice. Hay Collegians might not be as professional women’s basketball players individually but as a team they could have enough practice together that they “could” make a better team.
Adp job new jobs report 152000 vs labor departments vs 272000 labor departments report on n new jobs added….Hmm, who’s correct…Are they both wrong…And why don’t I put a question mark after I ask a question…
It’s getting hot hot down there. You know the places that people are moving to now for the warm weather places like Fla and Texas. Due to climate change da peoples will have to move from these wonderful places because the weather is getting too too hot. Well I guess those states can put an air conditioned dome over themselves, but where are those cheap government gonna get the money. Nah the peoples are going have to find a cooler climate. Ya think maybe places like Alaska, Montana, North Dakota, or even g-d forbid upstate New York. Now am telling you these states and countries like Canada, Russia, Sweden South Africa and Argentina ( I know those last two countries are in the southern hemisphere) may have to let a whole lot of immigrants in to save a good portion of the worlds population.
*************************************************************************************
Will the middle of planets service be so hot as to be uninhabitable? Will the earth be uninhabitable?Will we have to place a dome around the world with climate control and be able to withstand 300 mile an hour winds? Will we have 20 years to prepare for this (hopefully not) climate heat change? Maybe we’ll overcompensate for this hot, hot 🥵 planet 🌎 and we’ll all freeze to death.
We got a new thuggish professional basketball like the old Detroit Pistons. The only trouble is it’s not one team but the whole League known as the WNBA. No team was as bad as the Pistons, but despite what the players and former players of the WNBA say I don’t believe it. I used to go to the Liberty games and I can’t recall if it ever was a thuggish as I’ve seen now. I didn’t like seeing the old Detroit Pistons and I don’t like seeing the thuggish behavior that I see in the WNBA.
Is Elon Musk trying to sabotage Tesla ? ….. Ya think 🤔 not….Wellll let’s think 🤔 about his demand for a huge increase in his stock in the company…Now if you think 🤔 about wouldn’t that dilute the out standing shares weakening the value of of those stocks that the shareholders have…Now I read that he wants to divert Nivida chips to his other companies… now didn’t the Jack of all CEOs promise that he would produce self driving cars 🚙 that would definitely need those chip….Question? How long will the public believe in Tesla’s (Musk’s) promises? Will Tesla be the new Enron? Is there something I am missing? Is there something the public is missing?
It has come to my attention that there will be no more chicken 🐔 wings or restaurants that cater to chicken eaters. Oh let me make that clear, to people who love to eat chickens, not chickens who eat people.The reason is because Avian flu has gotten out of hand. There seems to be no cure and all our chickens are going to die. If we have no chickens, we’ll have no wings and not only that we have no chicken sandwiches nor breasts nor drumsticks. No chickens, no KFC no Popeyes, no Chick-fil-A, etc. etc. on chicken restaurants. So not only chickens but the restaurants that sell them exclusively they will all die out. 😢

🏀 Do we really need Referees in basketball. Do we have referees in pickup games? Noooo we do not. So do we really need them in organized ball, and especially in college and professional games after all don’t we scream at them for making bad or no calls. Now I should shut my mouth or in this case stop writing an other word, but me having diarrhea of the keyboard, I’m going to yap, yes we do need refs. It’s been proven that while it may appear that we don’t need refs it does speed up the game ( am I crazy). It does hold players accountable and most of the time it’s a fairer system. Welll think about it. It appears to make a better game.
Do we really need government in our lives, after all they tell us what to do with our property. Doesn’t it hold back business and besides there’s lots of things that we do that go Government doesn’t help us with and we get along fine. Welll maybe the roads that we need and the protection from foreigners and foreign nations. Well maybe a couple a things, like money disputes and sometimes it even prevents us from killing each other. Doesn’t government encourage loafers to loaf. Or maybe those none workers are actually helping the rest of the people (WTF). In my unsophisticated eyes we need government the same as Basketball 🏀 needs refs.
Oh no …. What’s this crazy 🤪 blogger saying now.
Dog bites man, no news story .. The unusual man bites , headline news…How many people call themselves woke? Yet I hear it all the time …especially from anti woke people. I hear on the boob tube about anti white black people and I know of no one ☝️ of my black neighbors who are anti white. ( must live in the wrong neighborhood) . Here about binary people(?) but have never 👎 met one, though if you have u tube you would think 💭 that this country was over run by them. Violence from illegals as though there wasn’t enough violence from the citizens of this country.

Money 💰, money 💰 changes everything. Giving college athletes money 💴 is a great, lousy, stupid, or justifiable. Unwell 🤧 doesn’t colleges make millions from their athletes or do they. Is amateur sports a form of slavey when it comes to college. What…What did you say 👂I heard you say that the athletes hone their skills. Yea but so what the colleges make so much money from their programs as long as they’re winning 🏆. Oh so what are college conferences going to do when schools drop out because the tv money 💰 isn’t enough disgusted alumni. What about the play itself, it was bad enough when one or two of the best players on the team would leave to play pro, now the whole team backs up it’s bags and leave. Do the players become better ( as in the old days) or worse or just stay the same.
I’m assuming that the games aren’t as good 👍🏾. Ya and how does the alumni 👩🎓 know who’s on the team from year to year. Will the alumni 👩🎓 stop 🛑 giving money 💰 to the school 🏫. Will the television 💰 dry up ( probably not) because of an inferior product….what about the pros, whould they be getting inferior athletes from these nomadic athletes? And what about the athletes that actually go to school on a scholarship because that actually want to be educated?
NowI know the stories of college athletes In yesteryear they took a pay cut when they turned pro, but that was only a rumor!
I like that that most apps on the internet doesn’t come out of pocket, in that sense it’s free. The cost of that being free is that every Tom Dick and Harriet knows what my preferences are, what I want (maybe) and Taylor adds and what pops up on my email, u tube and the propaganda that I see on the internet. For me it maybe a little annoying, but that’s the price I’m willing to pay, it may not be for everyone, willing to pay that price.
There are reports from some people in the know that this summer in the North Eastern US is going to be along hot summer.😥 unless a couple of mountains blow their tops🌋.
The problem at Universities is verbal assault. There are too many who say that the protest on college campuses are free speech. But not this crazy blogger. Nooo this crazy blogger see these protesters as bullies who are forcing there ideas on innocent students. If one blocks and screams and tries to force there way on the main stream students that’s assault almost as if one uses physical force.

WTF 🤬 is this blogger 🤔 thinking. Israel 🇮🇱 should back Palestine 🇵🇸 getting into the United Nations. Is he crazy 😜. Well it kind of says to the world 🌎, yea we can live with a Palestine state. Yea we can can treat any aggression like one country treats another. Think 🤔 Russia 🇷🇺 and Ukraine 🇺🇦. Israel can say can legitimately claim see Palestinians have a country what does it want with Israel.
*************************************************************************************What would the Palestinians do if Israel 🇮🇱 recognized Gaza and the West Bank as the legitimate country of Palestine?

Would full representation in the United Nations make a people whole and making at least a de facto nation , with all the rules and regulations ( that no nation follows) that member states should follow.
Oh no I keep hearing from these upper middle income( or as most would say upper middle class) look at those billionaires they are making sooo much more then the workers. The bosses make 20 no 15 no 30 times more then their workers in 1960s they only made 10 times more. ( these same people don’t say hay in the 1800s the bosses made 100 time or maybe it was 1,000 times more then their workers. Or what ever. Then we have the other side of the coin, those who would have the lower middle income (class) believe that the problem is those freeloading cheats who are on Medicaid and or wic ( food stamps) and ADC, oh crap 💩 they are stealing from the hard working people. That’s what some of those above average income and asset people would have the middle and lower middle believe.
My point, in case anyone reading 📖 this particular blog is that there are people who make their point by blaming others for either steeling from the government or stealing from the workers, while neither is particularly true. I know that most people aren’t going to understand this, but the supper rich especially those who get a paycheck are needed for the economy and so too are people who are getting government assistance, help the economy. Perhaps in the future I’ll try to explain this better.
The most important thing to me is that every person has a livable home, plenty to eat, clothes on their backs, and a safe place to exercise both physically and mentally. How much money the next guy has to me is irrelevant.
Oh my goodness gracious NYC is overwhelmed by illegal Immigrants from Venezuela! Hmm 🤔 now who said how terrible that communist country was and that it was on the verge of collapse. Hmm 🤔 it seems to me it’s the very same guys whose families came from that infamous communist country Cuba. Hmm 🤔 and we let them in, didn’t we Americans. Now if memory serves me right we even let those Cuban who were let out by prison in. I do believe it was called the Mariano boat lift ( or something like that. Hmm 🤔 it seems that there’s two senators one from Florida and the other from Texas who fit the bill to Encourage Venezuelans to come to the United States. It’s also seems that the two state that these Venezuelans are being sent New York are Florida and Texas. Ya think 🤔 maybe that these two states should help fit the bill, for after all these senators represent these two states. Welll if these states can’t or will not help with the bill then those two senators at the very least try to push a bill in the senate to help NYC with its finances to help these Venezuelan immigrants. Not only that if these senators were Righteous they would try to help these poor unfortunate souls t get work permits or better as there parents were treated when they came to America.🇺🇸
Ah yes we all know that to lower inflation we have to take money 💰 out of circulation. How do we know? The mainstream economists tells us so. Ah yes we have inflation because because there is too much money 💰 chasing too few goods. We shouldn’t lower interest these economists might tell you, after all we must fight inflation . We shouldn’t lower interest interest rates so that manufacturers can produce more merchandise, there producing the other side of the equation more goods. Nah we don’t need more goods, after all if we wanted cheaper goods hell we would lower tariffs. Ah but we can’t do that we’ve got to protect our nonexistent workers because the factories for our nonexistent workers can’t borrow cheaply enough to turn a profit or at least stay in business or start a business.
The first time in a long time the labor department say less jobs were created then what the ADP reported. This is for the month of April. ADP reported 192000 new jobs , the labor department says 175000 new jobs. Statistically this, is about even.
In the year 2024 we have more then our share of P.T Barnums in the United States 🇺🇸. Those who are P.T Barnum include Donald Trump, Elon Musk , and the Socialist Democrat s of America ( or what every they call them selves now a days). Among others.
These are people and groups of people that make outrageous statements and by golly millions of American believe them.
P.T Barnum famously said a sucker is born every minute.
Oh no 🙉, here we go again. I keep getting solicitations I need your money…. To fight the good 👍 fight against the other guy, after all he or she gets “dark” money from the evil 👿 warlocks who want to ruin this great nation by buying this and other elections, and they ( who ever they are) will steal this election with the help of the evil 👿 foreign forces. All they are asking for $5 dollars 💸. Yes sir re bob it’s only 5 smackers. Oh by the way wouldn’t ya please give to my compadres… There are only a a zillion of them.It wouldn’t cost your whole bank 🏦 account only most of it, but after all it’s well worth it say save America 🇺🇸 from those evil 👿 ( take your choice…communist, ungodly ingrates, authoritarian, fascist or what ever other evil 👿 ya can think 🤔 of…so please….please ….please send your money …We must save the great country or end the most evil country ( depending on when you hit your head) .
It doesn’t matter what political party 🎈 they are all begging for the peoples hard earned cash 💷.
Ya all remember January 6th 2021, how an unruly mob stormed the capitol. Ya all remember how the unruly mob screamed the 1st amendment. Ya all remember there complaining from a large part of the public were against the unruly mob. Well….do ya think what is happening now on campuses is different… Ya think maybe some of those who are agitating on campus were some of those who were aggrieved at what happened on January 6 are screaming 1st amendment rights. Da ya think that some of those who complained that the unruly mob on January 6 were only protesting their government.as their right are complaining about the unruly mobs on campuses.
I guess the 1st amendment is in the eye 👁️ of the beholder. I guess that depending what is being protested and how it is perceived is in the eye 👁️ of the purple people eaters.
I Social Security is being picked on by rascals who have the nerve to call themselves conservatives. They claim that it’s an unfair tax and the future generations pay for it…Well future generations I do believe are still paying for the Vietnam war…Well maybe I’m wrong or maybe not…Then we have those half baked fellas who claim that we should end the cap with which to everyone would be paying the same percentage ( that I’m thinking is a great idea) with the exception of the upper middle class( that is not a good idea) meaning put a donut hole as to what is paid…Let’s say someone only pays taxes on the first $160,000 and then doesn’t pay taxes on the next $ 140,000 leaving a big hole (in my heart) and depriving me of taxes on $140,000. Oh those kumquats, saying eventually the hole will be closed because the inflation. Then some of those kumquats say we should increase my payout by $200 a month… yea right…( I’m thinking that should really help my trust fund. Yea right). Nobody and I mean nothing body talks about my trust being used to help pay for things like food stamps, by buying bonds at a discount rate… Yea and nobody seems to talk about how the government is paying the money it borrowed from the general taxation funds.
We believe what we believe. No matter how outrageous our beliefs our. We argue in righteousness. Now what I have just written may make no sense to anyone reading this, but if you listen to the arguments in the in the Israeli Palestinian “Discourse” you should know exactly what I mean.

Just because a person may be brilliant doesn’t mean that person knows it all…..
Daddy in his infinite wisdom said sell on layoffs. Why did he say sell on layoffs after all that’s cost cutting. Well it also means that the company doesn’t expect growth in the near future. It also shows that the company expects a down turn on its product. It can also mean that it doesn’t expect to borrow to meet its payroll and it’s trying to keep it’s cash reserve.
There been talk of the disparity of salary between men and women’s pro basketball 🏀. While the salary in men’s basketball 🏀 may be great the endorsements and the business opportunities are were the real money is. In the near future we’ll see if there is a great disparity between men and women.
Oh damn, it’s a leap year, which means a presidential election plus congress and here in my home state they are running 🏃♂️ for the state house. Oh things are just staring up. Please 🙏🏼 give me money 💰 because pick 1 George Soros is funding my opponent and and I must defend our country against that multi billionaire socialist or you must give me money to defend against my opponent who is being funded by MEGA authoritarian billionaires. Every day I’m being bombarded by with crazy 😜 adds that complain about about their opponent and give me pablum of how they funded this or that. Now I guess some of these politicians have got funds, but if you have seen the money 💰 if you have your eyes 👀 are sharper then mine. Oh it’s only going to get worse, the general election 🗳️ is coming and the 💩 that’s going to be spread around is going to make me want to break my computer, TV, and Smart Phone 📱, never mind burning 🔥 my mail. Of cause my party 🎉 is going to insult me while begging 🙏🏼 for money 💰. My E mail box 📦 is going to have hundreds of request every hour begging 🙏🏼 for money ( funny 😄 I probably won’t get any emails asking for my vote). As I delete those E Mails I’ll probably delete something important. Soooo please 🙏🏼 please 🙏🏼 lord, have me keep my sanity during this crazy 😜 election season.

Actually I have seen a lot of the money that pols have earmarked being put to good 👍 use.
Iran is helping Israel with normally countries that are Muslim counties and would usually have no use for Israel, but because Iran is so aggressive against countries like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan what happening between Israel and Iran brings a smile to the leadership of these Sunni countries. Like the old saying goes an enemy of my enemy is an ally of mine.
Oh my goodness I’m saying something that the Moores or colonizers of the of that European country Spain. Now how could that be, after all the conversational wisdom states that only white Europeans are colonizers. It’s like saying that the carthaginians ( Hannibal in particular) didn’t want to conquer Rome. Oh my the Huns were Eastern Europeans ( yea right) when they sacked Rome, oh and the Mongols they were a figment of historical imagination. Oh and those African nations that Concord one any other, they weren’t colonists, they were just warriors!
This is what too much of modern thinking that only the white Europeans are colonists, but my reasoning is all people when they get together take land and use the personage from that land making us all colonists even if the land we took is right next to our own.
