Marco Rubio really hit one out of the ball park the other day with a master quality speech. Now they are talking about running him for president. I must admit, he did sound good. However, I do have serious reservations.

Two things bother me. Before Trump stepped in on the scene, he was one of those held in high esteem for pushing the big comprehensive compromise about the border and he was one of the biggest proponents of the idea. He was the primary one pushing for it. Had he become president, there is not one doubt in my mind that the country club Republicans would have gotten their low wage illegal aliens. While the current president has his Secretary of State well under control, just how much pressure would it take from the country club crowd to drive him back to the position from wince he came. He would be right back to his his old ways.

More importantly, as I listened to that speech carefully, I detected an element of globalist in him. If he is still a globalist, the he still is in favour of the famous comprehensive compromise, another way of saying cheep illegal labor for his friends in the county clubs. Indeed, I would suspect this very day, he is still amigos with the RINOs. I will continue to believe it at least until he denies it.

Permit me to include a reminder. Trump and Cruz were the last two contenders for the Republican nomination. They were also the only two that were in favor of sealing the border. When the people shut down the comprehensive compromise, it should have given them all a hint. However, Rubio was not bright enough to take the hint. I am not so sure he is today.

On a scale, 1 to 10, ratings of importance:

The TV weather man will say weather reports are 9

The sports reporter will certainly say sports reports are 8

The entertainment reporters will definitely say that entertainment reporting is 11. Can’t figure that one out. Maybe you can explain that to me.

On the other hand, the news reporters say news is -1. Indeed, as they report the so-called news, the very frequently avoid news @ all cost, they avoid talking about the news. So, they talk about entertainment and entertainers. They talk about sports and athletes. Then, if they have time left over, they cover two or three actual news stories; but only if they have to; only if they must.

I recently learned that Wendy’s is shutting down multiple restaurant locations, which seems like a predictable outcome. When staff members demonstrate disrespect towards customers and fail to provide basic service, it’s hardly surprising that the business is experiencing challenges. Customer service is fundamental to maintaining a successful restaurant, and consistent poor interactions can quickly erode a brand’s reputation and customer loyalty.

Instead of pouring those millions into commercials, maybe they should divert some of those resources into training employees and management.

I’m sure Dave would be very disappointed with the way they are running things. It is a fact of the capitalist system. If you can’t treat the customer right, as Dave used to, then you’ll never succeed. There is far too much competition out there to let customers wait while employees are too busy talking on cell phones to help them.

Television ratings experts claim precise viewership data for the Super Bowl, tracking audience numbers almost moment by moment. While the methodology seems plausible, I remain skeptical about the absolute accuracy of these measurements, particularly for viewers using traditional broadcast methods.

As the match dragged on, our enthusiasm waned. My wife and I, both well into our seventies, found ourselves increasingly disinterested. After watching the first half with diminishing attention, we ultimately decided to seek alternative entertainment, abandoning the game entirely.

Despite the numerous advertisements we encountered, we found no evidence that they influenced our purchasing decisions. The sole commercial that left a lasting impression was a beer advertisement, which is ironic considering neither of us consume alcohol.

The fragmented memories of the advertisements blurred together, a jumbled mess that seemed more like an overzealous attempt at marketing than a coherent message. Despite straining to understand, the content remained indecipherable, slipping away from my consciousness almost as quickly as it had appeared. With no compelling reason to retain these fleeting impressions, I let them fade into obscurity.

The halftime spectacle held little allure for me, a performance I’ve long since tuned out. Judging by the critical consensus, my disinterest was well-founded, and I missed nothing of consequence.

Part 1. Everything falls.

Part 2. It always takes 3 times to pick it up; sometimes more.

A while ago, I wrote a post about leaders. In it, I said that if you look behind you and can’t see any followers, you’re likely not much of a leader. Something happened that caused me to reconsider it.

My question is: Do you remember how many followers Trump had in the first primary and the number of followers the other Republican candidates had?

You notice how many followers President Trump has today and how many followers the rest of the Republican leaders have today..

It does somewhat clarify who the real leader is. It points to who really represents the desires of those following him. I’ll give you a hint. It’s not those who want open borders. It’s not those who want fraud during elections. It’s not those who want a powerful Iran. It’s certainly not those who want 90,000 deaths from drugs every year.

I have more but by now it should be casual to the most obvious observer.

That would be me. It’s okay though. I caught the mistake in about 25 minutes and the water had not yet boiled out of the macaroni.

If you want to be smarter, make sure to only read and listen to truths..

If you don’t mind being dumber, read and listen to liars.

It’s simple common sense, at least to most people. Then again, some people prefer lies. That is true, though I haven’t a clue why. Faced with the truth, they turn to lies because they prefer them. As said in the scriptures, when people see the light, they seek the darkness. They prefer the evil over the good.

If the local police turned over illegal aliens who also convicted criminals to ICE before releasing them, it has substantial advantages for all.

1. It drastically decreases local crime, which decreases the load on police, courts, jails and prisons.
2. It makes it safer for one and all. As ICE agents recapture those released on the streets, it is more dangerous for the agents, bystanders, and the criminals themselves. Indeed, turning them over to ICE might even save the lives of the criminals, themselves.
3. If the illegal alien realizes that he will be deported after committing a crime, he just might be encouraged to be on his best behavior. That is to say, he just might decide not to steal that car or rape that young woman.

The Democrats want no part of it though. Indeed they do anything and everything to keep that from happening. It is as if they don’t want any of the above to happen. Could it be they want the the theft, the murdering, and the rape. Why in the world why they want to do that. Maybe you can tell me.
