Steve’s Barking; If you’re not ignorant then you’re stupid

 As I grow older I have a great desire to learn something new every day. If I am learning something new every day then yesterday I was ignorant of what I learned today. If I think I know everything then I must be G-d, because I know I’m not G-d then I know that I’m ignorant of many, many things. If I believe that I know it all then I’m stupid. Even in things that I have pretty decent knowledge, I don’t know it all and because I realize that I don’t know it all keeps me from being stupid.

I hear on the idiot box from people whom tell those who happen to be listening (looking) on this particular show from some supposedly knowledgeable person who gives only part of the story and because they give only a partial part of the story the story is incomplete at best or totally wrong as in most cases.

Steve’s Barking; American sports hall of fames,

 This blogger was a lover of baseball hall of fame, even going to the Cooperstown hall of fame. When y ( baseball hof ) . Ah there is an outrage of the football hall of fame because the winningest Super Bowl couch of all time wasn’t elected on the first ballot. Ah what is being reported that someone leaked the information that Bill Belichick wasn’t a first time elected into the hall. The committee is up in arms about the leak. The committee should be up in arms about the small amount of football retirees who can be elected. In this blogger’s opinion there are greats who will never be put into the hall of fame. Again in this blogger’s opinion’s yep couch Belichick should have been elected right off the bat, but because of the goofy rules( my opinion) possibly some of the voters didn’t vote for him be leaving that he would get in despite them not voting for him but their hope was one that they voted for that hadn’t been voted in and should’ve been would get enough votes. Nice idea, but a greater idea would be the changing of the rules that perhaps quadruple the amount that can be voted in. If not quadruple at least double for the next ten years while those who saw the old timers and know how great they were and not being looked at.

 Now let me write about the foolishness of the baseball hall of fame. Some other greatest players of my time are better denied because of cheating. No Bonds, no Sosa, No Clemens. Yet Roe who admitted to cheating is in.   Niekro who was caught with doctoring the ball with an Emory board in his pocket is. Perry who admitted to throwing a spitball is.

 What about Mr. Rose who was a tremendous hitter but bet on games so he’s not in, yet persons like Cobb and Speaker was charged with actually throwing games are in ( never proven)

 (/This writer not they taken about gambling on games that you not involved in is no big deal).

 This old man has become ho, hum on American Sports hall of Fames.

Steve’s Barking;Border police in Minneapolis huh

 I’m Confused what the heck is the border police doing in Minneapolis which is miles and miles from the border? Is that a misuse of federal agents because ICE can’t handle its job? I guess ICE agents are like the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz. Are they melting?

Steve’s Barking; It’s imperative that Social Security has a trust fund

 Social Security’s has negative balance, and because it has a negative balance the U.S. treasury is paying what is owed to the recipients. They takes money away from paying things like the arm forces, paving roads and other essential services so the treasury has to double the borrowing weakening the U.S. dollar. The treasury used to borrow from the Social Security trust fund to help pay the bills, but as of now the treasury is hit with a double whammy of paying off what it has borrowed from Social Security and paying for essential services ( and not so essential services).

 My suggestion is to do away with the cap on what is taxed.

 In the near future Social Security will be paying only 79% or less to the recipients of Social Security, they may leave some of the stress on the treasury, but in all likelihood it will put a stress on the U.S gross domestic product because there will be less money in circulation, especially for those who have little or no other retirement money.

 The ending of the cap on what is taxed should have been done way in the past, The United States needs to refill the Social Security trust asp to shore up its finance's.

Steve’s Barking; Dollar collapse, loss of wealth ?

 Ah I keep hearing of these multi billionaires and how wealthy they are. Now let me get this straight ( I could be absolutely wrong) but isn’t their wealth is in terms of the dollar? Now I also understand that the dollar is falling in terms of other currencies of the world.  Now what happens if dollar turns into value less then the Mexican peso ( I know that there may be some snarky people out there who if they were to read this would fall off their chair in laughter). I being who I am look at those countries that are selling the United States debt, therefore weakening the dollar. The Cheapening dollar by printing more dollars. The Looking of countries to make trade deals that exclude the United States, because of the high tariffs. The no need to buy American products because of these trade deals, therefore less need for the American dollar.

 Now of course these billionaires will still be billionaires ( maybe) but their worth in the terms of foreign currency will not be the same.

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

The weakening of the Social Security system is another attack on the dollar, but I’ll leave that for another post.

Steve’s Barking; Is garbage in American food actually bad for you?

 Now we all know that I as an American eat food with unnatural stuff such as chemicals, and sugar.   Meats in most cases have growth hormones and fruits vegetables in a lot of cases are sprayed with what is called poison ( things like DDT).

 Question is farmed raised fish better or worse for the human body then fresh caught fish that may have plastics in them and  even perhaps diseases that are undetected and natural chemicals that the fish produce. The same is true for farm animals, thaw vegetation from the ground that the animals eat may stay with the animal and we the eater may be consuming in our bodies. What about the growth hormones that are given to live stock are they really and truly harmful to us humans and if not do theses hormones make for a taster and healthier food? Let’s not forget about about the pesticides that are used, how dangerous are they to us humans, do we need to eat a tremendous amount or even a little amount dangerous. What if we don’t use pesticides, would we have enough vegetables ?  What about the bread that we Americans eat that doesn’t come from the bakery?Does the chemical that we put into our industrial process bread hurting us or because it saves the shelf life of bread and prevents things like mold from happening sooner than later.

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

Fresh bread from a good bakery tastes much better the grocery store bread Wild caught fish seems to have a better flavor to them, natural raised live stock when not starving in my opinion have a slightly better flavor. The same is true for fresh fruits and vegetables that don’t have pesticides on them taste better.

Steve’s Barking; Fear, vs anger vs exhaustion vs hatred winning at war

 This goofy blogger thinks that there are several ways of winner a war, it can be a combination. Russiathat it can beat Ukraine in my mind first by fear and then by exhaustion. Ukraine is fighting by anger and hatred and it seems that anger and hatred is winning.

 The Palestinians think that they can take Israel with fear, anger and and possibly exhaustion.The Israelis are fighting the Palestinians With fear, anger And the hope of exhaustion of the Palestinians.

 The US thinks it can win by using fear ( bombing and Threats ).

Another hard to understand blog to some.

Steve’s Barking; Are warehouse worker replacing salesmen?

 This intrepid blogger has noticed that malls are closing at a record pace. Some of the stores that this blogger has gone too is empty of much merchandise. Now this screwy blogger using his computer to buy merchandise so if many others are doing the same perhaps warehouse workers and delivery persons are taking the place of store workers?

Steve’s Barking; Two world leaders on fantasy Island !

 Who would have thought it. There are two major world leaders who seem to be on a fantasy kick. 

One thinks that he can win a war against the rest of the world when his country hasn’t beaten a much smaller country and his country has shown new weapons that are supposed to scare the rest of the world but as it uses these weapons in a war against a much supposedly weaker country they are absolute failure and the rest of the world is laughing at these weapons failure to deliver.

One of these world leaders who claims that his country’s economy is the best ever while the price of goods and services are in real terms 10 to 20 percent greater after he took office and the for the normal person it getting harder and harder to find a job. Of course his administration seems to have cooked the books and tell an out and out nonsense.

Steve’s Barking; NFL fire the coach

 The NFL has a new game called fire the coach. No matter how successful your coach is if he doesn’t win the Super Bowl let’s get a new coach. The team owners have nobody in mind too replace the old coach. Now this is something that this old blogger doesn’t understand, I was taught that you try not to fire someone unless you have someone who you believe is better or that the person that is being fired is a complete incompetent for the job. The other reason is antagonizing fans or owner. ( In business that would be customers and your superiors )

Steve’s Barking: US new battle ships the crap class

 Several weeks ago President Donald Trump stated that the United States was building new expensive battleships even though in modern war fare battle ships are outdate and modern warfare shows that what is needed is nimble and rather inexpensive weapons such as drones. Because of this I’m calling the new ( outdated) battleships the crap class battleships.

Steve’s Barking ; Did Elon Musk say don’t buy Tesla for your retirement portfolio?.

  Did Elon Musk really say don’t buy Tesla for your retirement portfolio? Wellll not quite, but he is quoted as saying that saying for retirement will be irrelevant in the next 10 to 29 years because of AI. Well this stupid blogger’s thinking if you are just starting out and n your 20s 30s and even 40s then if you take Elon’s believe in what Elon is saying then you would be foolish to buy Tesla stock for your retirement. If you take what he is saying as gospel then you would be foolish to even buy stock for the present.

Steve’s Barking; Shot front,back, on the side, BIG DIFFERENCE

In Minnesota The shooting of Miss Goodall by Ms. Goodall by ICE agent Mr Ross was described by many as self defense and much more as murder. The rush to judgment is the interpretation of video. This crazy blogger believes that it would be clearer if self defense as to how the bullets entered the body of Ms Goodall.

*************************************************************************************I’m not totally blaming the ICE agent, the s hooting took place in the excitement of the moment and knowing the writer of this blog I’m not positive this writer if he was in that position might not have fired his weapon.

Steve Barking; Times have changed …Gun caring mask persons

 Times have changed, when I was growing up a person with a mask and having a gun was always the bad guy.. Ah but now there telling me me that those masked guys are government agents ( whom we are told are the good guys).

Steve’s Barking: Smiling Faces 😀 Mudero in captivity.

  Am I the only crazy 🤪 one, but why does captive Venezuela’s president seem happy.

 Why was there so little casualties on the capture of Mudero on the American side and why does it seem like the only deaths were Cubans?

 Why does it appear that the only regime change is that Mudero is out of office and his vice president is.

 It appears to this crazy blogger that the kidnapping of Mudero was in inside job with a lot of help from the Russians and Mudero knew all along what was going to take place.

 Now one may ask if the Russian’s helped the Americans why are the Americans going after” Russians”“tankers carrying Venezuela crude after all my supposition is that Russia helped the Americans. 

 (1) It’s a rouge and the oil isn’t going anywhere and it makes it appear that the Russians didn’t help the Americans.

(2) It’s not Russian oil and the market for oil right now isn’t good.

Now the way Mudero looks calm and confident one can be suspicious that he knew all the time and his capture and that a foreign power is calling the shots.

Just saying….

Might be totally wrong but I’m suspicious 🤨 by nature.

Steve’s Barking; With friends like U.S. who needs enemies?

 The president of the United States Greenland.. He has said  that he may take it by force. Now I may not be the smartest or the most knowledgeable person, but I’m positive that Greenland is an alloy of the United States and it’s a member of NATO. We have troops stationed there. So even though  the stated reason is the protection from Submarines the United States doesn’t need to rule or own  Greenland, It can place as many troops, radar, sonar or what ever it needs in it without being in possession of it.

 Does the United States need its minerals, private citizens can probably secure mining rights. The last I heard Greenland is a capitalist country.just like the United States.

 No there is no rationale for the United States to own Greenland except to destroy NATO ,  Perhaps the leadership of the United States a tool of its enemies?

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

The Threats to Canada is also a weakening of the United States to its allies. The enemies of the United States couldn’t have any better partner then the current administration in Washington!!!

Steve’s Barking; US policeman for the world 🤔

 Ah here we go again , my country the good old US of A, kidnapping the  leader of a foreign country called Venezuela. Hmm is that legal?  Oh they say that he’s going to be tried in Brooklyn. I’m confused after all he’s not a citizen of the United States, and what ever law he broke he didn’t do it in the U.S. of A so my punny brain can’t for the life of me figure out how he can be tried in the United States for a crime not committed in the U.S. and not a citizen of the country? Then again I have a puny brain.

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

Do I think that Madero should be the president of Venezuela? He didn’t win the presidency fair and square . But the United States should not interfere in another countries affairs.

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

What would happen if other countries felt that way that the United States what was doing unlawful things and threatening  other countries,  Do you think that they should try to kidnap and try the president of the United States in a foreign country?

Just thinking! 🤔 

Steve’s Barking; Climate change and a tilting earth

 “We” all know that the earth is warming up and carbon dioxide ( emissions) is to blame. 

 Now this blogger just read that the earth keeps tilting toward the solar system hot spot the sun or possibly I got that wrong maybe it’s moving away from the hot spot and the earth is going to be a little chillier then was expected.

 Now this can’t be right, after all if the earth is tilting and the sun is or isn’t part of heating or cooling the earth now how can we blame us humans.
