Just a Little Odd

Posted in gun control by

In the aftermath of tragedy, Democrats sprint to their soapboxes, waving legislative Band-Aids at a gunshot wound, as if their proposed laws were magical shields that could have whispered “stop” to a determined assailant. Meanwhile, when a knife-wielding menace turns sidewalks into a personal drama, the airwaves remain suspiciously silent—no calls to ban cutlery or regulate the sharp and pointy population of kitchen drawers everywhere.

Yet a good knife thrower can be very terrifying with half a dozen knives.

A Compromise?

Posted in Uncategorized by

The Democrats always love to talk about compromise. They have also proposed amnesty for about 10 million people. Okay… A compromise. One. A law making English the official language. All legal documents must be in English, federal, state, and local.

Two. Only those who denounce any and all other nationalities. Those under 60 must become fluent in English.

If they commit a felony or aid someone else in committing a felony, deportation is automatic upon conviction.

It is only right. If they cannot make the compromise, why should they be allowed to stay under any conditions?

My guess… They would and will reject the compromise and all parts of it. The dems don’t want any official language. They don’t want them to have to denounce their loyalty, though no one should be permitted citizenship until they are loyal to th US. Certainly, if they cannot obey our laws, why should they be permitted to remain here where we would need to provide for their food, shelter and health benefits.

Complaint or Affirmation?

Posted in Uncategorized by

Over the years, in my attempt to write books, I have learned. For instance, there is a legal term “waive.” There is also a word, “canvass.” I found that out the hard way. My worst mistake was misspelling one of my books titles,”The survivers.”

I am not going to make excuses for myself. It was a dumb, stupid mistake, and a woman called me out on it. I corrected the mistake, and others went on to read and enjoy the book. I even got one 4-star review, though most were only 3 stars.

The thing is, the woman did me a great favor, or even a privilege, with her complaint, and I was genuinely thankful for it. Moreover, I will be grateful for any other corrections. You see, I really enjoy the affirmations, but I find the complaints more profitable.

I am not the first to realize that complaints are good things. There was a man who pleaded with his customers, “Please give me the privilege of hearing your complaints.” He built a retail empire because of it.

Lately, many submit an opportunity to use surveys to rate them. You know, the 1 to 5 star rating thing. Invariably, I notice many companies pointing to survey results, boasting about how many stars they have.

It is but one reason I refuse to take part in surveys. It is fine for some things such as books. However, sometimes I get the idea that big corporations seek not the complaints but rather the affirmations.

Immediately after I purchased my Chevrolet HHR, they had me take a survey. Three years later, I could not find a place anywhere to register a complaint. They wanted the affirmations right after I bought the car. They clearly have little interest in complaints three years later.

Actually, my purpose was to help them with my remark. Clearly, they weren’t interested.

Lately, Walmart has been requesting surveys from me. It would seem they were seeking complaints, but I suspect they just want to accumulate stars. In other words, they are seeking those wonderful accolades.

I was tired of deleting the surveys, so I filled it out. I’ll let you guess how I did it. I don’t think they will like me anymore.

For anyone else who might see this, they might decide against asking me to fill in their survey. Better to keep it simple. Just ask if I have any complaints. Better yet, provide someone to take my complaint to—that is, assuming they really want the privilege of my complaint.

Frequently, we customers don’t complain. If possible, we simply go away.

Decreases in Memphis Crime

Well, that’s what “they” say. I’m still hesitant to believe it, not when it seems I see the report of a murder a day, not when I see videos daily of violent robberies spread throughout the city—north, south, east, and west.

Still, let’s take their word. Let’s say the numbers are really going down. There is still no reason for them to get boastful yet. Bear in mind many out-of-towners have been chased back south of the border. Moreover, those that remain don’t want to be noticed by ICE.

Finally, the state of Tennessee is doing what it can to curb criminal activity, despite the lack of cooperation from local politics.

Of course some would like to write it up to coincidence. However, those of us that watch detective shows know coincidences don’t exist.

Here They Come

Subtitle: I Told You So

Years ago, maybe one or two will remember, I wrote a post about driverless cars. The prediction has come true. I heard it on the news today.

There was a crowd that speculated 60 Teslas had accidents while on Autopilot. They suggest the loss of 60 lives because the computer does not drive as well as a human. Personally, I challenge the concept. Suspect it is likely half and half. Likely a little more one way than the other.

Whichever way, whatever happens, the die is being cast. Those legal eagles, ambulance chasers have smelled blood in the water, and soon the lawsuits will start flying.

Buckle up for a wild ride through the autonomous automotive frontier! While self-driving cars rev my imagination, I can’t help but ponder the ultimate showdown: Silicon Valley’s algorithmic prodigy versus the unpredictable human behind the wheel. Will our robotic chauffeurs outsmart the caffeine-fueled, text-messaging, road-rage-prone human drivers? The jury’s still out, and this technological tango promises to be more suspenseful than a high-stakes game of bumper cars.

Expert witnesses will parade in, each side wielding their technical wizards like legal weapons. The computer’s impeccable security will be interrogated, cross-examined, and dissected with surgical precision. Meanwhile, the lawyers will be grinning from ear to ear, their framed diplomas casting a victorious gleam on the courtroom walls, knowing they’re the only true beneficiaries of this digital drama.

The ambulance chasers will likely win their share, and the defense attorneys will likely win a few. Most will likely be settled out of court. Sometimes the defense will be afraid of losing and set a standard. Sometimes, the prosecutor will settle, afraid to set the standard the other way.

As all the paperwork from all the legal briefs finishes trickling down from above, the losers will be the drivers. The cost of the cars will skyrocket, and naturally, the cost of auto insurance will likely follow.

Sure, a settlement might line a few pockets, but who’s signing up to trade their body parts for a payout? Not this savvy survivor, that’s for sure. I’d rather keep my limbs intact and my bank account untouched.

So, at some point, the computer has to become better than the human. I ask you, do we take the steering wheel out of the hands of humans for the safety of others? On the other hand, do we permit humans to hold onto the wheel in spite of it being more dangerous?

Futurists, brace yourselves: the million-dollar question is lurking just around the corner, ready to pounce when we least expect it. And hey, while we’re at it, we might want to whip up some shiny new laws that are as clever as they are cutting-edge.

Considering laws are made by lawyers for lawyers, I don’t expect to see it in my lifetime.

A Matter of Priorities

Posted in Uncategorized by

Each professional views their role with unique significance, reflecting the importance of their specific contribution to society. The street painter sees his work as crucial for guiding traffic and maintaining order on roadways. For the bus driver, punctuality represents the core of their professional responsibility, ensuring reliable transportation for countless commuters. Similarly, lawyers perceive their profession as fundamental to societal structure, believing that without legal frameworks and enforcement mechanisms, civilization would descend into chaos. These perspectives highlight how every occupation, regardless of its perceived status, plays a vital role in maintaining the intricate balance of community and social functionality.

In the medical profession, nurses and doctors often engage in a subtle competition to highlight their respective contributions to healthcare. Nurses passionately advocate for the critical role they play in patient care, emphasizing their direct and compassionate interactions with patients. Meanwhile, physicians counter with a comprehensive list of reasons why their medical expertise and decision-making skills are paramount to patient treatment and overall healthcare outcomes. This ongoing dialogue reflects the complex and interconnected nature of healthcare professionals, each bringing unique and essential skills to the medical field.

In the realm of essential professions, few trades are as critical as plumbing and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) services. When water lines rupture or sewer systems become obstructed, plumbers emerge as unsung heroes, swiftly resolving potentially catastrophic household emergencies. However, during the scorching summer months, HVAC technicians become absolute lifelines, particularly in the mid-southern region of the United States. The extreme heat is not merely a source of discomfort but a genuine health hazard, with potentially fatal consequences for vulnerable populations. These skilled professionals ensure that residential and commercial spaces remain cool and safe, protecting individuals from the potentially life-threatening risks associated with prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Their work transcends mere comfort, representing a critical public health service that safeguards communities during the most challenging seasonal conditions.

If may add one more little thing. Can you imagine all those lawyers holding court in 100° + rooms… As they did years ago.

Be Nice

Good words to remember; even for me; especially for me.

It’s just so difficult to remember when those dems are so set on doing things that are so set dead set on things that will lead to death; so heart set on heartless things; oh yes, so determined to do things to Godly people that aren’t nice.

Do You Wonder Why?

Posted in Uncategorized by

Some folks may wonder. Others likely don’t care.

However, here it is just in case you are the least curious about why the Democrats and their federal judges are so concerned about President Trump cutting back on federal employees. Many, perhaps most, on the federal payrolls are members of unions, who are also roughly nine out of ten are Democrats. Ignoring all else, the Democrats will be losing a bunch of union members and, by the way, maybe a few Democratic voters too.

If you think they have the law in mind; if you think they have the good of the employees or the agency, forget it. All they have in mind is holding onto the power they feel slipping from their grasp ever since November, last.

Could it Be?

It seems there has been an explosion of conspiracy theories lately.

Do you suppose it is because there has been an explosion of true conspiracies and conspiracists?

Ah, the classic dance of denial—where secrets shimmy just beneath the surface, winking at everyone while pretending to be invisible. They’re like that awkward relative at a family reunion: everyone knows they’re there, but no one wants to make direct eye contact. The powers-that-be perform their elaborate charade of “nothing to see here,” complete with theatrical hand waves and unconvincing poker faces. Meanwhile, the rest of us exchange knowing glances, silently acknowledging the elephant—no, make that the entire circus—in the room.

Conspiracy are my jam, and while I’m certain these shadowy figures exist, I’m more intrigued by their debut performance. My money’s on the JFK era – the ultimate government magic show where evidence vanishes faster than a rabbit in a top hat, courtesy of a vault with more leaks than a gossip column.

Sounds like a conspiracy to me.

In a twisted tale of vanishing clues and untimely demises, evidence plays a game of hide-and-seek while unfortunate souls bow out with a dramatic flair, leaving behind more questions than a cryptic crossword puzzle. Ergo, as the old poet might say, it would seem many of the magic tricks seem to be accompanied by a dead body. This, as opposed to a live one.

(the JFK event was accompanied with at least 4, maybe more)
