Steve’s Barking; knowing family history

 Unfortunately I only know my American family history. Even ancestry.com can’t provide a true oral history. This should have been past down from generation to generation. It may not be as accurate as something like ancestry.com but it wouldn’t be as bland. 

 I know that my paternal grandparents came from Austria though it could have been Russia because the borders kept changing. I have a friend who’s family came from Germany, or did they really come from Prussia. I have another friend who’s family came Italy or did they really come from Roma. What about my African American friends, those DNA tests only give you a general idea what part of Africa they came from, it doesn’t say what what tribe( nation) that they came from, nor does it say who thre enslavers were.

 It’s too late to know the flowery history of our American ancestors.

Steve’s Barking; January 6th on campuses

 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.

Steve’s Barking ; Social Security, why is everybody picking on me?

 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. 

Steve’s Barking; Beautiful Minds are wasted ……

 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. 

*************************************************************************************

I’m willing to bet that if  Israel says that they will give the homes back to Palestinians, for each home they would give to the Palestinians a hundred different family would claim each home….

*************************************************************************************

Just because a person may be brilliant doesn’t mean that person knows it all…..

Steve’s Barking ; Daddy said sell on layoffs

 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.

Steve’s Barking; In pro 🏀 it’s not the salary

 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.

Steve’s Barking; Election season, please, 🙏🏼please 🙏🏼please🙏🏼 end 🛑

 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.

Steve’s Barking; Iran is helping Israel (WTF)

 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.

Steve’s Barking: Oh no the Moores were colonizers

 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.

Steve’s Barking; What’s with women’s soccer⚽️ in the US.

 When it comes to the Olympics and world championships women’s Soccer ⚽️ appears to me way out shines men’s soccer ⚽️ but when it comes to league soccer ⚽️ men’s ⚽️ is able to thrive while women’s ⚽️ can’t. This may seem unfair to the many but in a democratic free market system that’s the way it is. It maybe 🤔 the marketing, incompetence on those who try to run the women’s leagues, it maybe 🤔 something else. The only thing I’m saying you can’t force people to watch women’s ⚽️. 

 The same is true for women’s basketball 🏀 were this years women’s college basketball 🏀 tournament outnumbered eyeballs 👀 watching then the men’s tournament. Now it remains to be seen if the women’s professional 🏀 will be watch on television 📺  and attendance at stadiums will be up to the point that women’s basketball 🏀 will not need subsidies from mens basketball 🏀 and therefore women basketball 🏀 players can be payed more in our free market system.

*************************************************************************************

 Professional women’s basketball 🏀 do not play nearly the same amount of games as the men, nor do they play the same amount of  minutes, but that’s a different story.a

Steve’s Barking; The US of A says let’s make China aggressive

 Gee says the leadership of America, let’s stymie the corporate aspirations of China in high tech industries to do business in America. Let’s say that these high tech companies are spying on us. They are going to steal our high tech secrets (🤔). They are going to spy 🕵️‍♀️ on the private citizens of America as if American companies ( such as the publisher of this blog) don’t do it. 

 Now maybe I’m being a little naïve but if the United States were a major customer of products from across the globe and especially from China there would be less of an incentive to have military confrontation. Maybe 🤔 I’m also being a little naive, the tech companies would have  be better because of foreign competition.

 Many in the United States claim to be free market capitalist but it might be said that many of those who make that claim hide behind the word spying and worse influencing the American 🇺🇸 people with their high tech as though foreign governments aren’t doing it with America. Social networks?

Steve’s Barking; The world wide military industrial complexes are making a killing

 The world is in a mess. Almost all industries have some sort of problems because of the military actions that are taking place, weather it’s a problem getting raw material, or the lack of workers, things don’t seem good for most industries except the war industries. Heck Russia needs bombs, and missiles and least not of all drones, well, that’s good for the Manufacturers in N Korea, China and you would think Iran. Well Iran needs  missiles and Rockets of its own, so that will help keeping the unemployment down there. Oh let’s not forget about my country, it’s sending stuff like munitions to those countries in need.A big smile is put on the face of the CEO’s of our war manufacturers cause they supply the items in need.

Steve’s Barking; American Black civil war

 Damn I look at u tube. Now because I don’t follow just one of a kind tubers. I follow several “African American” ( Black) tubers it would appear to this uneducated person that there’s a civil war going on.

1st I hear black comedians attack one another. Then other entertainers attack “Black” producers as if they were worse the those devil white producers.Then I hear “Black” intellectuals attack what they call race hustlers ( all of whom happen to be “black”) Every once in a while I’ll just happen to hear an attack by “black”  commentators who hold the view that all evil is based on the “white man” , that those  “ black persons”  (let’s not leave women out of this conversation ) are misguided or worse. Least we forget about the MEGA “blacks” that  seems to shock so many.

 Well all I can say is this “ civil war” seems to be very civil.

 * There is nothing wrong with a group of people black, brown, white or purple who have different views and ideas from one another, even if it seems strange to an outsider. This is something our political parties seem not to understand.

Steve’s Barking; OH NO INFLATION IS RISING

😫 Oh  no 🙊 inflation is rising, damn weather has taken my some of my favorite ❤️ drugs, coca for chocolate and sugar for my soda and there is now a shortage due to poor harvest making the cost dearer. Oh and the cost 💲 of my relaxing 😌 driving in the country is going up due to those damn rebels Hutus holding the straights of Hormuz hostage. What’s fellow to do?

Steve’s Barking ; Is the American economy in the toilet?🤔

 The numbers that economists use say that the American economy is doing great 👍. Now what the economic numbers that the people see tell a different story! Every major tech company it seems like every day is laying off from it’s work force. There seems to be a lack of housing. The price of spaghetti 🍝 is 2 dollars 💵 in NYC. Many people are paying more then half their pay 💰 for housing. There was a story in the paper the other day about jobs searching that despite what the numbers are saying many have been searching for 6 months and more for employment despite putting out hundreds of resumes. The cost 💲 of a new home 🏡 is unaffordable for many. Every day we read about a major retailer closing stores, or even going out of business. The cost 💲 of borrowing is extremely high in resent memory ( just look at the interest of credit cards 💳).

***These is the real economy , not ivory tower economics. I’m writing ✍️ this as rebuttal to what I’ve been reading from economist that I truly respect, but sometimes we have to look 👀 past certain numbers to get what really going on

Steve’s Barking; Cuba’s economy has been collapsing for 60 yrs

 Holy smokes Batman is on the verge of collapse and the population is in the stage of revolt. I just heard that on the news the other day so it must be true. Oh I’ve been hearing that for the past 60 years, so I know any day now Cuba is going to collapse. Oh and that other communist country Venezuela oh its economy is on the verge of collapsing, those economic pundits having been saying for the past ten years. Oh let’s not forget that Asian country North Korea, if you listen to those pundits it shouldn’t exist…yet it’s still hanging around…oh hum.

Steve’s Barking 184000vs 303000 Job reports

 It’s that time of month again ADP Jobs report of 184000 vs Labor’s job report of 303000. Ok make up your own minds!

Steve’s Barking; We are all guilty of bombing the innocent

 There is no entity of in this world that isn’t guilty of bombing the innocent including women and children Just look at my country and the fire bombing Dresden and Tokyo during World War II. Russia bombing parts of Syria today I’m sure that it wouldn’t be hard to find China  bombing the innocent in its provinces. There are those who praise the bombing of the innocent by terrorist ( whom some would call freedom fighters), and would decry the bombing of the poor unfortunate souls in Gaza. We see that in the western part of the world. The hypocrisy of us all….

Now look at me, I hate the fact that the innocent are killed, but as a veteran I understand it. We ask the soldier to protect us and we protect the soldier with bombing. That my dear reader is my terrible justification of bombing. No there is no such thing as smart bombing. Unfortunately for me I mix my heart with my brain, and my brain is winning and that’s why I reluctantly say ok bomb away….

Steve Barking ; 32 Hr work week—- Not so fast

 Because of AI many prognosticators claim that we will have a four day work week or a 34 hr work week in the near future.  Hmm 🤔 does Ai build roads? Does AI build computers 💻 that produces AI. Will AI do the plumbing that our ancient broken water system needs? Will AI build the Robots that are need to build the factories? Will AI smooze with fellow workers for half the day as many of our office workers do now a days ?

Steve’s Barking; Question Why does the US government spend billions on putting Chemicals in the water supply

 Why does the government spend billions of dollars putting chemicals in our water supply to protect us from simple things like getting sick and protecting your teeth when we buy $50 water filtration systems that make those chemicals null and void?

Steve’s Barking; The super rich 🤑 really need a healthy and vibrant Social Security 🤫

 The rich 🤑 need a healthy and vibrant Social Security almost as much as a retired middle class and poor? How is that you might say to yourself? This writer ✍️ is crazy 🤪. Almost all if not all the rich depend on the middle income and poor to buy, rent and use what they own, weather it merchandise, land and even if it is just money in the bank and the borrowing from the bank…Now think 🤔 about this the more money the middle class and the poorer people have especially in retirement or disability the greater the wealth that is created for the well off and even the super rich 🤑…You really have think 🤔 hard on how this is so even though this crazy 🤪 writer ✍️ just told you so….No the rich 🤑 is not immune from a failure 😞 of the Social Security System. No the rich is not immune at a payoff of only 80% or less … So if the rich and super rich 🤑 that would be hit hard should pressure the powers that be to keep Social Security full funded by pressuring the powers that be to end the cap on the amount that is taxed.
