Steve’s Barking; Is FBI director Patel a welfare queen?

 What is a welfare?

 Someone who collects a government check and doesn’t do their job.

 Is FBI director Patel a person who collects a government check and doesn’t do his job?

 When I was being scammed, I called up the FBI, and they said that that’s not their job.

 There are hundreds of thousands of senior citizens in America that are being scammed every day.

 If that’s not the interest of the FBI, whose job is it?

 Scamming is the province of the FBI; what other national crimes aren’t they investigating?

 It’s the FBI director’s job to make sure that all federal crimes are investigated.

 If that’s not happening, then the director of the FBI is a welfare queen.

Steve’s Barking; Why don’t I hear from politicians vote for me I’m great

 Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t seem to hear from people running for office. I’m great, and here’s my resume.

 Nah, what I’m hearing is vote for me; the other person is ( a communist, a fascist), or the economy will go down the tubes. There are too many foreigners in this country, and the other person will let morons in. Or the other person will throw your momma into the sea.

 Running for office in the U.S., one doesn’t seem to have to show their resume to their prospective employers, the voters, but just try to scare you by how bad the other candidate (s) is or are.

 

Steve’s Barking; Question of the day ….Did the Arabs actually help Israel become a strong nation

 This crazy blogger is making the preposterous claim that the Arabs made Israel a strong nation and in fact may have saved the nation of Israel.

 In the beginning, to my understanding, when Israel declared itself a nation, it was on the brink of civil war when the Arab nations decided to attack. The three paramilitaries, instead of fighting each other, joined forces.

 How the Arab nations helped Israel again: All the Arab nations threw just about all their Jews out. Even their most loyal, which was in my opinion the vast majority of them. The only place for the Jews to go was Israel. Guess what, more Jewish soldiers for Israel. More occupation of the land by Jews. 

 

 

Steve’s Barking; Pete Hegseth secretary of incompetence ( War)

 As a several-generation American, I want to know why the United States wasn’t prepared for a long, protracted war. 

  I want to know how come my country isn’t prepared (or so it seems) for 21st-century warfare, with drones and cutting-edge laser weapons.

 It appears to me that my country isn’t prepared for war. 

 We have a Secretary of Defense who changed his department’s name to the War Department (it’s so much more manly than the Defense Department).

 Our Secretary of War is so concerned about the testosterone levels of our troops that he’s not worried about the level of preparedness of our weapons to go to war.

 This is why I call the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth the Secretary of Incompetence.

Steve’s Barking; They are spying on US. I’m shocked😆

 I’m shocked that Israel is spying on my country. I would be really shocked if they weren’t.

 Does Israel try to influence the way America thinks about its policies toward Israel? Probably.

 But and this is a big but almost if not all countries do the same. That is a fact of life. 

 I’m sure that my country, the good old U.S. of A., spies on and tries to influence the thinking of other countries, including its strongest allies. If they didn’t, I would be disappointed. Intelligence is extremely important, even among friends. I would not like friends to turn on my country. 

 Do I think there may be abuses in intelligence and influence? I sure that there is.  Am I upset about the abuses? You bet I am, but that doesn’t mean I want my country to shut down intelligence and influence operations.

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

 Does my government spy on its citizens? I’m positive.

 What are my feelings about spying and influencing? Mixed.

 I want to feel safe and comfortable, though I know that misuse of spying and influencing can have the opposite effect.

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

 Do I think that my government is spying for me? Probably, though at the present time I’m not worried, even though throughout history governments use their spying to persecute individuals.

 

 

Steve’s Barking; nationalist socialist, German workers party.

 What was the nationalist socialist workers’ German party 

?

 The answer is the Nazis.

 We don’t think of the Nazis as a socialist party, but as a fascist party.

 That’s why this crazy blogger doesn’t take the Democratic Socialist Party  seriously as just plain socialist.

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

 If you’re a socialist, form your own party, please, please, please don’t steal mine.

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

There have been Socialist parties in the United States before in the United States.

 In the early 1900s there were close to 300 mayors to my understanding.

 Eugene Debs got12% of the popular vote in the 1912 presidential elections.

Steve’s Barking; Permanent daylight savings in America….Glad I’m not working

 There is a great chance the good old US of A will go to daylight saving year-round. 

 What idiot thought of that?

 Getting up in the winter months in pitch black, going to work, and the kiddies going to school in the pitch black. This is not very conducive to the want to go to school and work. If I’m not mistaken, we of the north will freeze our behinds off early in the morning. That also is not very conducive to going to work and school.

Steve’s Barking; Texas is drowning. Maybe that’s a relief

 I see on the television that there are storms in Texas. Major floods, even. 

 One would think that’s a catastrophe, but Texas is having a terrible drought. One would hope that the torrential rains will fill the lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. Hopefully giving the great people of Texas plenty of drinking water and relief to its AI industry.

Steve’s Barking; The art of the self promotion

  I know Donald Trump wrote the art of a deal.

  If he wants to help us peons, he should write the art of the self promotion. There is nobody in this world who is better..

Steve’s Barking; Is it human nature to hate and abuse other ethnic and religious groups?

  There seems to be much anti-Semitism going around. This is something that has been going around since Roman times and before. My understanding is the abuse of even the extermination of Jews.

 We tend to forget the abuse of blacks, including lynchings in the United States and even in Africa.

 We tend to forget how the Kurds are treated even today.

 What about the attempted genocide of the Armenians?

 The hatred of the Catholic Irish and holding them down.

 The hard times that many of Italian descent had in the United States.

 The Scots in Great Britain.

 The various non-ethnic Chinese in the Chinese empires that faced discrimination.

 What about the Japanese during World War II of other Asians?

  What about various Muslim sects looking down on other sects?

 My question again is: is hate and abuse part of human nature?

*************************************************************************************  Maybe this particular blog is a little too sensitive and possibly confusing.

Steve’s Barking; Minimum wage , hurt or help ?

 Oh my goodness, the best and the brightest might say, of course, the minimum helps the poor. Everyone knows that the poor need more money to help buy groceries and housing. 

 Ah, but what if the rise of the minimum wage brings about the rise of prices because the employer needs to cover the new cost of doing business, or if the cost becomes too high, the employer goes out of business? In that case, raising the maximum wage isn’t a very good idea for that employee.

 In another scenario, what happens if those making the new minimum wage are already getting it? Wouldn’t the goods and services become higher because of supply and demand?

 In my unlearned opinion, we do need a minimum wage, but we must be very careful with it.

Steve’s Barking; Mid East, water- no where to be found (except Israel)

 One might ask oneself, “Hey, how come almost all the countries to my knowledge have an acute water shortage except Israel?”

 Well, Israel had a water shortage also, but they let their scientists have their way, and they learned to desalt the sea. 

 Of course, the Muslim countries in that region could do the same thing. If they don’t want to give Israelis anything, they could always steal the formula for desalination. Of course, the prejudices of the Muslims in that region prevent the betterment of their people.

Steve’s Barking; America is 250, How much longer?

  The United States is celebrating its 250th anniversary even though it wasn’t a country until 1787 (the Constitution of the U.S. was written). 

 One can make the argument that the U.S. wasn’t a country until April 30th, 1789 ( George Washington took the oath of office as president).

 Anyhow, getting back to what my question is, how much longer will the U.S. be a nation?

 Will it be a nation until the end of time (climate change killing us all.  Asteroids colliding with earth.. Total war killing us all)?

 Will there be a civil war like no other, splitting the country up? 

 Will other countries so distrust the U.S. that we would not be vibrant anymore?

Steve’s Barking; Democratic Party…..Youth be served

  In the Democratic Primaries, it appears that we old dogs aren’t coming out to vote. We are the problematic voters who vote on foolish things, such as inflation and whether our Social Security will be reduced.  Now it appears to my insane brain that the youth  appear to be extremely idealistic, not very pragmatic, and vote on their ideals.

 I question whether the idealistic youth’s idealism nullifies the pragmatic voter in the general elections or whether the Republican attack on idealism wins.

 Are these young Democratic voters from middle and upper middle-income families and the poor not voters like us older Democratic voters?

Steve’s Barking Question of the day no taxes or no water

 It seems to me the stupid blogger that there are more people running to no-tax states like Texas, and these states are running out of water.

 It seems to me this stupid blogger that people are running away from states that have more than enough water like New York but are taxing their people to death.

 Is our choice death by lack of money or the death of lack of drinkable water?
