The Inverse Affect

For years, the dems have been looking under every rock, trying to find something they can pin on Trump. They couldn’t, so if you’ll excuse me, they’ve been trying to trump some false charges on him. All to no avail. This all likely cost the dems millions, as they have a custom to do. No telling how many times they have abused the justice system in similar ways.

The one thing they did accomplish is the inverse. They succeded to prove the man is very likely the most honest man in the country. Very few people would survive such a micro-exam before millions.

Why Do I Not Toss my TV?

  1. I can still watch reruns. Though they admittedly have less special effects, lower quality [acting, recording equipment, and images] and they might be a little more hoaky, I am not so much treated to seeing things I will not have to spend hours unseeing them.
  2. I can still use the TV as a really great computer monitor. I can sit 8 ft away and still see the fine print.
  3. It is still a mediocre way of receiving news and weather alerts. To be sure, it does have to be tempered with common sense. I mean, just how many lies were desiminated over all the air waves and internet during the pandemic about the pandemic. TV news was the primary tool of Fauci and Old Joe. ByTV, they spread their death and fear of death.

Two more clicks to the left, and, as far as TV is concerned, I shall return to the Rock Ages. Even so, I will be lightyears ahead of those glued to the tube, hearing the dribble of lies and brainwashing and diatribes on good Christian people.

Generic Me

I’m sure CBS keeps track of generic people. Though they might not know what specific person selects or deselects a specific channel, they watch statistics and they have a pretty good idea when generic me is watching or not and why.

Let me help them, just a little. Last night, generic me turned to CBS to watch Elsbeth as I generally do on Thursday night. After about 45 seconds of the program, generic me turned the TV off and turned the radio on.

Somehow, I figured CBS knows that and they know why. At one time it was thought TV would put radio out of business. Now I wonder if it will be radio that shuts down TV.

However, just in case they can’t figure it out, I’ll explain it. It is not something some of us generic me’s enjoy watching, two men hugging and kissing.

Maybe you at CBS like that sort of thing. Not so much us generic me’s; especially those of us that believe in God.

Then again, those in Hollywood don’t care about us generic God fearing folks. That actually was established decades ago. However, have you looked around lately. Much of the glitter of Hollywood is gone.

The movie industry is and has been struggling. The TV world has a few more decades as they have decided to force garbage dow our generic throats, regardless. Mostly, what is done in Hollywood will be done elsewhere, by other people, if at all. The process has already begun.

Last I checked, hardly any programs on TV anymore. At one time, there were dozens of series, 3 or 4 each night. Now, maybe 4 or 5 that are being watched. What little I watch are mostly reruns. Take away the sports, game shows and reality things, and it won’t be worth powering up the transmitters.

Special Allowances

I can’t remember when I first heard it. “We won’t need any special allowances.” However they have and they do.

You ask to whom am I referring. Many know or have suspicions. Everyone should know.

As women complained that they were not getting equal pay. I, and others tried to explain, women always need allowances. They need more time off. They frequently quit when they marry. Some work requires strength, sometimes much more.

Now, just as anticipated, women need, what, 8 weeks paternity leave. Don’t try to tell me they carry their weight. I worked in a computer room with two women and there were two of us men. Guess who carried all the 40 lb boxes up two flights of stairs. I am sure the man already there was glad I hired on. His load instantly decreased by half.

It does make me wonder, though I never had the courage ask, what would they do if the 2 of us men had to leave. My best guess, they would find someone from another department.

Don’t get me wrong. I am the first one to yell, equal work, equal pay. Only, if women do less work, they should get reduced pay. The instant they demand special allowances, it is not equal work.

Of Course

Easter & Christmas

When I was in grade school, we had Easter & Christmas vacations. None of us had any doubt as to why we got out of school. Now, they try to conceal it. Now Easter is called spring break and may not even be at Easter. It’s another good reason to take our children out of the child indoctrination centers.

By the way, if your child goes to a public school where the name of Jesus may be mentioned, you are in the minority. However Santa Clause, Rudolph and the Easter Bunny are all for the most part permitted everywhere.

Let Us Settle It

They keep asking the ludicrous question, “What if the president orders….?” The assumption is that the military will obediently follow any order issues, which just is not true.

You see, the American military is radically different. After WWII, the German soldiers repeatedly used the excuse, “I was only following orders.” You see, the German soldiers of the day were obligated to follow orders regardless. American soldiers are only obligated to follow lawful orders.

If a senior officer orders a murder and the subordinate follows the order, he is just as guilty as the senior officer. Therefore, most senior officers won’t make unlawful orders. Indeed, it is highly ingrained in his training.

Provided the dems did not mess with this discipline, generals and admirals will not follow unlawful orders. A president would be foolish to try it. Very likely, it would quickly become public.

Secure Vote

Prior to the chad fiasco, Desoto County, MS used the punch system & it seemed reasonable to me. Since then, the came up with what looks to me as an ultra-secure. It looks so secure that I wish they would use it throughout the US.

Before I explain it, let me interrupt myself just a little. A perfect system won’t work without A. a good accurate system of registration. B. a good method of ID. C. minimum mail-in votes. Personal note, internet votes are not secure but it could be made more accurate than mail-ins. There are far too many ways of tampering with the mail-ins. D. drop boxes should never, ever be permitted.

Now, let me explain what we now have for voting. When I go in to vote, my picture ID is checked and I am given a piece of paper. If I prefer, I am given an old fashioned paper ballot.

Assuming I choose the new system, as most do, I go to a computer, enter the paper and complete my vote. The computer prints my vote on the paper, which, in essence has become my completedpaper ballot.

Once I verify it’s correct, I take it to a separate machine and slide the ballot into the 2nd computer.

At this time, my vote is recorded in 3 places, once on paper.

I am not sure what the recount procedure would be, but, if nothing else there is a hard-copy on paper that can be physically counted.

If it were up to me me, regardless of the results, I would do a random check of every 1000th ballot and check it against the computer images. There should be no discrepancy. If any show up, I would endeavor to determine why and correct it.

If we make our methods secure, only then will people trust it, only then will the dishonest be completely discouraged.

How Did I Not Know?

Krystals has had an open dining room for quite a while. I used to sit in there for hours working on my books. I worked knitez and I stopped on the way home. Most times, I had a chicken salad, then sipped Diet Coke as I made sure my hero won the day. Unfortunately, they stopped making salad a long time ago.

Still, they had corn dogs, but no more. Well, they still make Kristals and I had four of them, 1 more than I should have. My wife quickly downed 2 of their chile dogs. The service was fast, professional and friendly.

I am sure we will be back. It has been a while since I had one of their wonderful little chicken sandwiches. Then too, their breakfasts are so much better than McDonald’s. The hitch is deciding.

It gives me another reason to be angry at Fauci. It has been a long time since I was able to sit down and enjoy Kristals at Kristals. Come to think of it, he may have had something to do with the downturn of McDonald’s and Wendy’s. Fact is, I do believe he wanted to destroy all restaurants, especially the smaller ones. I’m sure we all know some family operated restaurants that did not make it through the pandemic, especially in the blue states.

I am so glad Kristals is back, even if I never went in there again. Fauci is the one who needs to be put away… in prison for a thousand years.

News and Advertising

Buc-ees?

Ever of it. Suddenly, I am seeing news stories about it left and right, and always in a positive sense.

I suspect the public relations department of Buc-ees issued a release to all news organizations they could think of about the possibility of a new store east of Memphis. Suddenly, millions now know about the company who never heard of it before.

Now that is inexpensive advertising. I mean, you can count me among those who never heard of them before. Even if the store never sees the light of day, the company has acquired millions of dollars of advertising without paying a dime.

It does make a person wonder sometimes, just what is news and what is advertising?

Moreover, considering just how much time is given to it on all stations, I have some real suspicious that a dollar or two exchanged hands. If so, it is paid advertising, no matter how it is camouflaged.

In any case, it didn’t effect me. (or is it affect? Maybe both. Never could keep them straight) Fact is, I would have to go through Memphis these days unless I need to. Too dangerous. Too many Memphis drivers. Too many folks up there who like shooting people. Actually, just too many people.
