Not Intrested

Can someone please tell me again just why the lotto results take nearly 5 minutes every night. 1 I fail to see it as real news. Certainly, there are those that want to see if they are millionairs.

I question the advertisers logic. Do they really want to use their ad money on us watching someone acting thrilled as they read resuts with ongoing suspence.

Okay. I own big corp. I am not a big advertising exec. Still, to me, it looks like a real waste of ad time.

Just saying. When the lotto info come on, I switch channels. I don’t waste my money on lottos. I can’t imagine why anyone would.

Well, Big Day Manana

Of course, I am writing this on Saturday, the day before one of the most important days of of the year. At least many think so. Some have suggested that we make a holiday out of the Monday following.

That is a little curious as the root word is holy. In essence, that would mean making a holy day out of the day following a sport avent. I understand though. Who would want a car built on the Monday after the Super Bowl? I wouldn’t.

Let’s face it. There is likely a large percetage of folks coming in with hangovers. Even if not, many will be tired, especially those on the west coast.

There is another aspect, a 2 sided coin. Just how much time at work will be spent making armchair, post game decisions. Who all will be second guessing the the calls of the referees.

On the other side of the coin, what if no one goes into work Monday? Look at all that pentup desire to disguss the game and there’s no one to talk with about it. I mean, if everyone stays home, who are you going to tell about that lousy call the ref made?

Maybe what we need is an official half day. Everyone goes to work as normal. For the first 4 hours, everyone has a post game party where everyone disgusses the game. The rest of the day, normal.

Regardless, the vast majority of TVs will be tuned to the game while the game is on, and of course, virtually everything else will cease, especially every level of government. As far as I know, it is truely the only thing to cause all activity in Congress to cease.

There is one other thing that makes me wonder. Does the serious crime rate go up or down before, during and after the little contest. Even more, what happens to the stats during half-time. Just how badly do the crooks want to see the half-time show.

If it Doesn’t Matter…

Had a wonderful book, “Murphy’s Law and….” I simply do not remember the rest of the title but it was essentially many closely related notable observations, like the strongest part of the paper is where the perforations are.

One of the sayings, was a 3 part thing that was a little long so I will only include the 3rd part… If it doesn’t matter, then it doen’t matter.

At first, as with me, it likely seems pointless and stupid. However, if you think about it, it really makes sense.

Consider Old Joe. You look around and you can see people are becoming aware of his mental problems. Some are considering a replacement.

As time passes, we are presented one trial baloon after the next as to just who might be able to replace him. This is where my little saying comes in. You see, to the dems, it doesn’t matter. They don’t care, as long as, whoever wins, they have totol control of him. It is the puppeteers who must ultimarely have control, regardless.

Now, on the other hand, if they can’t find someone to beat Trump, then guess what. It doesnt make a hill of beans wno they choose.

As I said. If it doesn’t matter, then it doesn’t matter… who they choose, does it?

Blame

Old Joe says he is taking responsibiliy, but he refuses to. At least twice I counted, he blamed his staff for the lack of document security. It’s as old as Adam who blamed Eve. Eve blamed the serpent. poor serpent looked around and saw no one at all to blame.

Pointing the finger and designating blame is natural. Stepping forward and truly taking responcibility takes a real leader. Old Joe is not a real leader and never has been.

Earlier I responded to a prompt about leadership. I named many characteristics for a good leader. Joe has none of them. He is not honest, he is not knowledgable. When the virus hit, Joe headed for the basement, afraid to show his face. So much for his having courage.

You know anyone that would follow that man into battle?

Simple Answer: Yes

Do you want a measure? 9 years in the Marines, 1 in Vietnam.

Do you want a declaration? I thankfully say the Pledge of Aligence while standing. I still stand during The National Anthem. It angers me when others don’t.

The real measure though, I use what ever is legally available to discourage domestic efforts to destroy our Consttution, the one that protect even those that hate it.

I salute and hold in high esteme those who served before me, some of whom gave their life.

It really bothers me when people take it for granted and trod under foot that which most in this world would treasure more than money.

Daily writing prompt
Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?

POW!

Surprise.

In the last couple of years, I have taken a real liking to Uncle Ben’s rice. I suppose, given that my name’s Ben there just might be some significance. Most likely not.

At any rate, I got hungry and decided to warm a packet. So I put one in the old MW. After pressing the 2 buttons I needed for a minute and a half, I went about getting my ice & cola.

Being just about time, I started to turn to the MW when there was a very loud POW! Well, I tell you, this old 76 year old frame jumped as if I heard one of those rockets in Vietnam. I’m a little slower these days so my jump was but 3 inches instead of 3 feet.

Smoke was billowing from the MW and i just knew the old thing gave up the ghost and I would have to get another.

Then, I realized my foolishness. I never created the small opening to let the steam out.

Other than the 30 minutes of life I lost from the noise, it turned out well. The package opened very neatly the instant it was ready. I wonder if that was intentional.

Also, the rice was effectively pressure cooked. Turned out pretty good.

Still, I think I’ll do it right next time. My recomendation is that others do the same.

Benjamin Netanyahu

The man has one of the most difficult names to spell I have ever seen. Not the first one. I have literally been spelling the first one all my life. It’s the other one I have the difficulty with.

As I started writing this, I tried spelling it from memory. Then I looked it up. I had change the 4th letter to a. Had to swap the y and h. My apologies. I hope to get it right next time. For that matter, I hope I got it right.

I am and have been one of your biggest fans for decades. I really wish we here in this country had a president like him. Every time I turn this way I hear of something he does that I want to cheer him for. From time to time, I would like to send him a message to tell him how much I admire him. Even now he has the courage to stand up to Old Joe when he has decided he wants to run Israel.

So. If anyone out there knows Mr. Netanyahu, or if you are going to meet him in the near future, please tell him there is at least one here in this country is one of your big fans. I would tell him myself if I could. I just don’t have his phone number. Maybe someone out there does.

Go get ’em Ben

Just What do the Dems Care About?

Some think they know. Some would like to think they know. But few actually have any idea what the most important thing is to the dems.

Some would say that the African-American is. However, conditions for the Black population increased while Trump was in office. Then, they immediately plummeted as soon as Old Joe took the oath. Schools, safety and social environment all improved during President Trumps short years. The facts, not the implications show that Old Joe’s methods have led to ruin for everyone, especially the African-Americans. Actually, that hold true for all the hyphenated groups.

Joe and his puppeteers obvious/y don’t care for those from Latin America. Their lives have not been improved either. Those of Arab decent might be improving for the short term, but I assure you that will change. Right now Old Joe is juggling two balls that he knows he must keep in the air. He doesn’t want to give up the campaign financing from the Jews but he knows if he doesn’t drop support for them, he will lose the support of the other middle eastern descendants.

Beware those in unions. Joe and his cohorts are very busy packaging up your jobs and sending them elsewhere, where the manufactures don’t have to meet the more stringent standards and higher wages. By the way, where the businesses do not have to pay retirement and health benefits.

The truth of the matter is, the dems and Joe have no concern for any of them. You notice how quickly they turn their backs on everyone so quickly after the elections. It is only when one of the groups starts complaining that anything is said from the dems or the media.

You see, the dems, Old Joe, the media. None of them care about anyone. Their goal is power. They will use anything, any group or even each other to that goal. It is what they have used in Russia, China, Cuba, and on and on. It is a pattern set in steel that is easily recognizable and without a doubt, it will be used again.

Take note. Be ware. Keep watch around you. Each time, just before taking over, there has been mass killing. In Germany, over 6 million, far more the Jews. In Russia, about 10 million. No one can get an accurate count. China set the record. I looked it up and even I was surprised. I can’t remember, 30 million maybe.

Clearly, the communist don’t care a bit out life. And, soon, the dems will completely reveal their real color. When they do, it will be red, as in the color of blood running though the streets of our cities.

Then, of course, after it is too late, all will know what the dems care about…power. The black man, those who speak Spanish, those coming here from all points of the globe. They will just be so many bodies, as it was said, statistics to be recorded in the new regime.

Those businesses going along to get along. Take note, commies don’t like businesses or business men. Their bodies will join the rest, just as in Russian, China, Korea Vietnam and Cambodia. I am sure the vast number out there don’t believe me, but now you are forewarned. I have done what I can.

Beware those who seek only power. They have no pity. They let nothing or no one stand in their way. It is what the dems care about, the only thing.
