Steve’s Barking ; Free the Palestinians ( from their mind set)

  This here crazy blogger thinks the chant “Free Palestine” is crazy… Palestine is a landmass . It cannot be cut away from the rest of Africa, so it cannot be freed.

 Now the people who call themselves Palestinians are a different story. 

 The people who call themselves Palestinians are slaves to the idea that intruders have taken over their land. All peoples can say the same. After all, I’m an American, and the grandfathers of my country took over land that was inhabited by others. That could be said by just about every country on this here earth.

 My preposition is that because of this obsession of taking control of the land that is now Israel, the people who call themselves Palestinians are losing out on being the best that they could be.

 The people who live in what is  referred to as the West Bank and Gaza are committing suicide because of their mindset of taking over the land that is now called Israel by force and intimidation. The Israelis, of course, will fight back by all means that they can. The Israelis have become so much stronger.

 It is my belief that those who call themselves Palestinians could become some of the world’s best doctors, engineers, scientists in the next generation instead of putting their energy into violence and putting it into education; they can achieve greatness. The people who call themselves Palestinians should throw away the slavery mindset of taking over land that they believe is theirs and turn their minds into education.

 The Palestinians should throw away their chains and try to be great people.

Steve’s Barking; Question :What part of Africa did black slaves come from?

 My Curiosity question of the day is what part of Africa did the Black slaves come from?

 Were they kidnapped from specific tribes? Were they kidnapped from all tribes? Did tribes kidnap their neighboring tribe members and sell them to the slave traders? Did the slave traders come to mid and Southern Africa and just steal the humans there?

 If anyone reading this blog  knows the answer, feel free to comment!

Steve’s Barking; Crazy Idea for trade

 This not-so-well-mental blogger has a crazy idea that I’m pretty sure no country would agree to.

 First thing first, do away with all tariffs (for a year to see how things go). 

 The reason I’m stating this is that companies are international. Tariffs, I’m thinking, actually hurt these international companies.

 Another foolish idea on my part would be a 10% sales tax on all international trade that would be divided by all countries that agree to end tariffs. This tax would be divided by population.

 I do realize that this would be impossible to implement, for selfish reasons, by all countries.

Steve’s Barking; Americans first vs America first

 Oh no…….  What’s this crazy blogger writing about now? Isn’t America first the same thing as Americans first?

 Well, if America first means putting tariffs on goods that thereby cost Americans more, just some perceived notion that America is getting more goods than are selling to foreign countries, that’s not putting Americans first.

 Giving tax breaks on Social Security thereby weakening the trust fund, that’s not putting Americans first.

 Tearing down institutions is not Americans first.

 Debasing the currency by trying to put a living person on new currency is not Americans first.

 Attacking other countries without a plan to put boots on the ground to win the battles is not Americans first.

  Having no plan to help the farmers (it appears to this blogger) is not Americans first.

 Not taking care of American soldiers, airmen, and sailors so that their morale is at its peak is not Americans first.

 Having news outlets mouth proper gander and government lies like Pravda did for the old Soviet Union is not Americans first.

 Having a major leap scamming of the elderly and hacking of individuals’ computers to steal and then claim crime is going down is not Americans first.

 So if this blog isn’t true, I guess that America first is a real thing, though I doubt it because in my eyes, this blog is the whole truth.

Steve’s Barking; Big shocker in Democratic Senate Primary in Florida

 There was a big shocker in the Florida Democratic primary!

 I’m not talking about the Democratic Socialist Nixon beating  the Democratic favorite; that’s true, but to me the bigger shocker is that she won and did it with a minuscule war chest. That is extremely rare; the Democratic Socialist have generally have had a larger cash flow from contributions than the regular Democrat establishment. This seems to be a first.

Steve’s Barking; Why do they call Democratic Socialists progressives

 Why do they call the Democratic Socialists progressives when they seem regressive? !!!

 The Democratic Socialists backed a candidate who seems to not believe in the co- mingling of the races.

 The Democratic Socialists backed a candidate who has a swastika tattoo.

 The Democratic Socialists hide their earnings.

 The Democratic Socialists complain about immigration not having open borders, but complain that Israel should not exist. When Israel is an immigration state.

 

Steve’s Barking; I only know 10% of history, yet I know more then a person who knows more then 10%

 OK… I only know 10% of history, yet I know more than a person who knows more than me. That makes no sense at all. That must be one of the stupidest things this blogger has ever written. 

 I know more because I’m willing to look and I investigate what I don’t know. I challenge what I think I know. Do those who believe they know it all do that? 

 If you look on U Tube, you would never know that. 

 If you hear lectures on certain so-called historical events, do you take it for granted that the lecturer knows all the facts?

 I question a lot of the (so-called) facts that I was taught and even look high and low to find out.

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

 Much of history, I believe, is fantasy that has been enabled by the victor or the vanquished. 

Steve’s Barking; Is universal healthcare good for a capitalist society?

 If I ran a business, in my crazy way of thinking, I would want my government to pay for universal healthcare. 

 Why, you may ask? 

 Easy…. Maybe my taxes would go up, but my business cost in all probability would be reduced.

 That’s crazy thinking. As a business owner, you presently don’t have to pay for healthcare.

 Ah, but I say to myself, if I don’t have health insurance for my employees, how am I going to retain them?

 Is it good for the employee? 

 Maybe…..It depends on how the government runs or misses running the program.

 Should the government subcontract the program to various private vendors? After all, competition usually makes for better programming.

 The question then isn’t whether the purpose of business is to make as much money as possible.

 Ah, but doesn’t competition force the price to go down and the service to be better?

 Answer ….Maybe, ….Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn’t.

 If you listen to the pundits on American television, America has a much better healthcare system than the European socialist healthcare systems, even though the socialist Europeans tend to live longer.

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

It may be bad for businesses  because some employees stay at a firm because of the fringe benefits of health insurance.

Steve’s Barking; An other take on government run grocery stores. Questions.

  I, living in NYC, see that my mayor sees a problem with groceries that in many cases the people of his city can’t afford. It appears to me that he decided that it would be a good idea to have city-run grocery stores. 

 There are problems with this. 

 (1) You collect no taxes from city-run anything.

 (2) It would appear that private-run stores would help subsidize their competition with city-run grocery stores.

 Will some of them close up shop (depriving the city of needed tax revenue)?

 (3) What union will the employees of these city-run grocery stores belong to? I’m sure that there would be competition and complaining among the unions.

 (4) How honest will the inspectors of food safety be? 

 Will they worry about their jobs and therefore not do an honest job?

  I probably left several things out.

 The true reason I’m writing this is because we do things without thinking things through, and hopefully, someone who happens to come across this blog will think of the adverse conditions that happen when you try correcting a conceived problem that may bring about other problems.

Steve’s Barking; The grass is greener ? Continual movement of we humans of were we live

 It has come to the attention of this goofy blogger that we humans like to change where we live. 

 Why do I say such a  foolish thing.

 I look at immigration statistics.

 I look at neighborhoods and how they change, from one demographic to another.

 I look at conquering armies that colonize the place that they conquer. The colonizers moved from their place to a new land.

 I’ve been taught that we all came from Africa  I guess that means that the first humans were looking for a better place to live. 

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

 Many of those who live in these places that others want to move to, scream bloody murder of the changing demographics not realizing that they or their ancestors changed the landscape when they  moved in.

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

 Oh damn, another hard to understand blog, that even the blogger is in a fog as to “exactly” what he’s trying to say. 

Steve’s Barking; Is that add for memory retention with famous actors AI generated?

 I’m having memory problems. I’m not ashamed to admit it.

 Of course, foolish me asked AI, “Is there anything I can do about it?”

 Of course, I get several ads telling me that there is a lemon recipe that wipes away some crazy growth in the front of the brain.

 If it was only that cheap and simple.

 Question I have is: do actors like Clint Eastwood really endorse this product, or is their testimony strictly AI?

 If it’s strictly AI, do they know about it? 

 If they know about it, are they suing?

 

 These ads all talk about the greed of the pharmaceutical industry.

 These ads seem to suggest that their lemon recipe needs a secret ingredient from Japan that only they can supply. 

 I wonder what the astronomical cost is?

 

 I’m tempted to press the button and find out, but I’ve been conned once too often, and there is a good chance that these ads aren’t on the up and up.

Steve’s Barking; Did the Democratic Socialist kill the Democratic Party for”me”

  I think of myself as a pretty loyal Democrat. 

 Yea, I know I have on occasion voted for a Republican candidate.

 But I have donated to the Democratic Party, and I used to be a card-carrying member of the Democratic Party.

 I even belong to the local Democratic Club.

 Well, the Democratic Socialist has endorsed a candidate who has insulted me and attacked me ( though not personally).

  This candidate has won the Democratic primary for New York’s 13th congressional district, beating the incumbent Democratic congressman while complaining about the money that outsiders are contributing towards him while outspending him. This Democratic Socialist clearly outspent him, getting most of her contributions from outside the district.

 Now getting back to how this Democratic Socialist has attacked me. She called all veterans war criminals, and I being a veteran indirectly called me a war criminal.

 Now how has this woman insulted me? She said that “black men” shouldn’t date “white women”. 

 Well, you might ask how this inference insults me. If you think about what she said, it’s the saying no commingling of the races, and I, a white man, married a black woman.

 Does one think that I should follow a party that doesn’t challenge its fringe that has attacked me and fellow Americans like me?

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

If a white man had said what this Democratic candidate from New York’s 13th congressional district said, you would say that this person was a klans member.
