Some Pizza Ain’t So Great

This might seem strange to say, but I have come to the conclusion that there are just some things that don’t belong on pizza. The hitch is that this does vary from one person to another.

One time, I bit into a pizza that had anchovies on it. I thought I was being poisoned. Needless to say, I did not take the second bite. Don’t care what anyone says, anchovies don’t belong on pizza. I am not totally sure, but I am pretty convinced they don’t belong with any food. It does make me wonder just when and where anyone got the idea to ruin a perfectly a good pie like that.

Sometimes it can cause marital disputes. My wife loves Italian sausage. Me…not so much. Fortunately, the pizzerias invented this solution. They only put the stuff on half.

It’s not a perfect solution. If I am not watchful, she will eat my half, leaving only the pizza with the Italian sausage. That way she gets the whole pizza.

Some say pineapple doesn’t have a place on pizza. I guess. Maybe so. My wife pilfers them off before I can get to them.

I do have my way of getting her back. I just order a taco pizza. I know. Lettuce doesn’t belong on pizza but it makes it taste so good. Besides, my wife doesn’t like green leafy veggies so I get the whole pie. Sorta like Italian sausage in reverse, only different.

Now, my younger son would have eaten pizza every day if he could, even to this day. He is a little odd though. He’d just as soon all the toppings be left off. Nothing but cheese. Well, they are cheaper that way.

As a side note. I have been looking for that fella that likes anchovies on his pizza. I’m still looking. Let me see. Did someone say bacon is good on pizza? Might be. Haven’t tried it but bacon is sort of good on anything but ice cream.

Let’s Get 1 Thing Straight

While Old Joe’s representatives are saying how well things went; while the dems say how successful the defense was; while the media all praised the effectiveness of the Iron Dome, it would be good to remember to keep one thing straight. The entire offensive action by Iran was financed by Joe.

To be sure, the HAMAS attack was also financed by the US Congress, which at that time was completely controlled by the dems.

And the dems want to claim Trump wants war.

lllegal but Effective

Over 100 thousand lives have been lost to fentenyl each year since Old Joe occupied the Oval Office.

May I suggest a way to stop this. If we catch someone smuggling any of it across the border, we shoot him on the spot. I know. It’s not legal. most will say it’s not right.

However, after about a week, the flow of fentenyl flowing over the border would stop. After the death of 6 or 7 smugglers, effectively, known killers, the murders would stop.

So, here’s the tradeoff. 6 or 7 murderers killed to save 100 thousand young people people.

Is there a better way? Yes. is there a legal way? T stopped it legally. But it appears Old Joe doesn’t want to use either way, my way or Trump’s.

Wrenches, Wrenches and More Wrenches

There was a time a few decades ago, we used to use the wrenches based on inches. Then, someone came up with the brilliant idea of going to the metric system. It was supposed to make things simpler.

No one told me as much, but I think it was those who make wrenches and sockets. The instant we started the conversion, I needed twice the wrenches and twice the sockets. That had to make someone a dollar or three.

I mean, just because someone up there in that ivory tower decides to go metric, doesn’t mean all previous things built are metric. Besides, there are still some manufacturers using the old hardware.

So I pick up a wrench and try to use it, only to realize it’s too small. I pick up a larger one only to realize it’s too big.

It is then I realize that, though I have countless wrenches, they are all just two sizes…too big and too small.

I take closer look. I must first determine if I am in search of a metric wrench or an English one. I then search my numerous wrenches and realize the one I need is missing.

I am sure every professional mechanic will tell you, the size of their toolbox has about doubled as soon as went into this so-called transition period. However, no one seems to know just how long this transition will take.

I am certain I will not see the end of it. Actually, I am not sure my grandchildren will.

Meanwhile, all those making wrenches, sockets and hardware will continue turning out a profit on all of it. Whenever we go to the hardware store, that area holding the nuts and bolts and such, will remain twice the size into the foreseeable future. Possibly just a little longer.

Meanwhile, has anyone seen my 9 mm wrench?

No Surprise

As an “official” observer of the way things are being run by the Memphis government, it does not at all surprise me that the mayor is asking for a rise in taxation. To be sure, it is what dems do. It is something of a prerequisite to being a dem, especially those holding office.

Understand, I’m not even suggesting how they run their city. Actually, I like them increasing their taxes. The more the better. As I have said many times before, every time they make a stupid decision, it increases the value of my home.

When I moved in here, I paid 25K. Now, homes like mine are selling for 110k. I even had a few offers for 100K. If they do increase the taxes enough, I might decide to close at 120.

I’ll just need to find somewhere else to park my car.

Smart Idea!

Again, let me say, as a Mississippi resident, I really have no business telling Tennesseans how to run their state. However, as an observer, I must admit they seem to have passed a good law. With a law requiring law enforcement officers to notify ICE of illegal aliens, the illegal aliens just might want to go somewhere else to hide.

That of course decreases the cost of having illegal aliens in the state: education, welfare, imprisonment, and law enforcement. Some would say this is not fair for the illegal aliens. The fact is, they are illegal just simply by bypassing our rules, laws and regulations. It is also unfair for them to be here while others wait their turn and follow the rules, laws and regulations.

As a side note, they have no loyalty or feelings of allegiance to the US, to the state or the city in which they decide to take up residence. If they move here for the dollar, the dollar and their own country is where their heart is.

You don’t believe me. I ask you. Do they wave the American flag or their own? Are they proud of America or their own country? Do they stand for the Star Spangled Banner or more likely for some other. Maybe they stand proud when an enemy flag is raised and the tune of their country is played.

Lest We Forget

Every time I turn on the news, it seems the first words are something to the effect, First president to stand trial….

May I remind one and all, Clinton admitted to felonies while still in office. Quite possibly, the only reason he was not removed from office was a number of hard-headed dems who did not want to admit the truth.

Moreover, the FBI director effectively told the whole world that Mrs. Clinton committed crimes for which she should have been permanently placed behind bars. Then she was let go. She had 2 things going for her, her name and her political party.

Then there is the granddad of them all, literally. Old Joe is escaping prosecution cause he’s too senile to stand trial. This is on record from the special prosecutor, though he put it a little more politely.

Really?

A short time ago, I listened to a former Navy admiral who just tried to convince me and the world the money given to Iran is only used for such things as food, medicine and such.

Now, let me see. Wasn’t Jimmy Carter a Naval officer?

Let’s see. Am I beginning to see a pattern? Maybe the Navy should change their training for their senior officers. We civilians are really going to start wondering. I already am. I was in the Marines when Zumwalt became CNO. There was a lot of talk among the sailors and Marines back then. We started getting suspicious even at the name.

Do you have any idea what Zumwalt did to the Navy? I got to see some of it firsthand. That former admiral at the press meeting gave me a pretty good look at his reasoning too.

I-880 Closed

Is it because of a wayward ship as the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Nope. By the way, Old Joe promised to do all possible to open that one. Haven’t heard anything from Old Joe about I-880.

When I heard about the closing of I-880, I sat and considered just why Old Joe doesn’t want to help his compadre, the gov of California.

Then I figured it out after some additional info. You see, it wasn’t a massive accident that closed The Golden Gate Bridge but a bunch of pro Palestinian demonstrators. It is not only okay for that, but something to be encouraged.

On the other hand, if they were a bunch of pro Trump demonstrators, the bridge would be clear in 5 minutes.

By the way, Trump demonstrators would not do such a thing. It is illegal. It is against the law. Besides, it is inconsiderate. The demonstrators don’t care. Old Joe doesn’t care. The dems don’t care.

I Didn’t Think of That

It seems everywhere I turn, someone is talking OJ Simpson, mostly old news. I thought when the trials were over, I’d not hear the name again. Already I heard it far too much.

Then, of all things, his name is back to the front page, so to speak, again. Again, because he decides to steal his trophies, we had to retell every aspect of the trial, as if for some reason I am going to be required to take a 50 question multiple choice test some time in the near future.

Then, of course, he dies. I heard about it and the first thing that comes to mind, OH NO! Not again. Yep. Sure enough. Obviously, all the news media in the world was all set, primed and ready. It would seem even the news of President Trump’s trial will not drive the old news of OJ from the top fold of the papers.

Then, surprise. Someone brings up something I didn’t think of. I can’t say it’s new, just that I never heard or considered it before. Maybe OJ committed the murders because of damage to his brain. He did play a lot of football, you know.

Well, I guess we will never know. The idea of examining his brain was quickly stopped. Then, to make sure it never happens, he will be cremated as quickly as possible. No sense the world of medicine learn anything from all of this. Go figure.
