Daily Miscellany
Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.
Enjoy. Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".

Writer's Block
As I see it at this point in time, the pandemic is over. My posts, up to now, have been based on the pandemic, directed to my descendants, such as may exist, to describe the pandemic in a future in which the Chinese might become mighty virus creators that they shall control the world.
I shall write smaller posts. I ask that if you do not want to read my missives, find the scroll key on your keyboard. There's one there somewhere.
The pandemic, at the current time, has me bored but there will be more news about it and I probably shall comment
Meanwhile, the fly is back and we always need a time for a final smile.
--------------------------------------Afghanistan
Exactly what has Afghanistan offered the planet earth?
They had Osama Bin Laden and various other terrorists living on their land so America came in and wiped them out.
Now, some 20 years later we are still in Afghanistan, the Taliban is still there, their government is non-existent. These are people who do not know such as law and order, a good economy, capitalism or happy families. The population consists of many terrorists with a population that does not know how to contain them.
America is sick and tired of these third world Islamic lunatics and trying to make them almost human.
I'm glad we're getting the hell out of that hell-hole.

Michael Avenatti
Michael John Avenatti is an American attorney, best known for his representation of pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels in her lawsuits against President Donald Trump, and for his attempted extortion ... Wikipedia ==============================
By me, this guy's claim to fame is that he became an anti-Trump guy and became beloved by the media.
MSNBC praised him. CNN adored him. Chuck Todd preened before him. With his hatred of Trump, his use of Stormy Daniels, call girl or such that he claimed slept with Trump, his nastiness and love of attention, Avenatti lied his way through some kind of scandal with Nike and there's more.
He was sentenced to 30 months in prison with a couple of more court hearings coming up. To include his conning Ms. Daniels out of $300,000 from her book sales.
This guy's picture should be under the words "shyster extraordinaire".

--------------------------------------------------THE FLY ON THE WALL
Yes I am a fly and yes I also Blog. I tend to wander around among the politicians and hear their conversation. Because I am a fly beneficial to humanity, I share that which I hear. Bear in mind my spelling. I am, after all, only a fly.
The Afghanistan Debate
It was a group of politicians, some of them Democrats and some of them Republicans, some of them Senators and some of them Representatives. I don't quite understand how humans populate their politics. Democrats seem to be the stupid ones. Republicans seem to have no courage. I have a vague idea who has the best crumbs.
"I've got three HUGE military contracts for Afghanistan!" one guy, probably a Republican because they seem to like money. "If we pull out of there and we lost those contracts we'll lose a lot of money to help Murchowski get elected."
"Your people can't stand Murchowski," another guy said, probably a Democrat because they are really into elections, sometimes stealing them. "America is sick of Afghanistan and we're not going to stay there just to keep Republican military contracts bringing in the money!"
On and on their arguments went on about Afghanistan, which is a country that also has plenty of flies and from what I hear the place is quite a mess. They all fight with each other and their "soldiers" don't know much about fighting. The Afghan flies tell me the poppy fields are very popular and the crumbs are great for the flies.
Frankly, this fly thinks Afghanistan brings pretty much nothing to the equation.
But then, I'm only a fly.

TIME FOR A SMILE
Really good stuff today Fish.
Avenatti is a study in driveby journalism.
Any time they(driveby media) can use someone to try and beat Trump over the head with they will. When these clowns turn out to be dirty which most are they(the drivebys) really don't know what to do.
Part of the driveby problem is they suffer from the Pinocchio syndrome all with noses several feet long from so many lies.

On Afghanistan/The middle east Trump had the problem of the Mideast all but solved until the massive election fraud which has interrupted his massive win. It will be solved and he will is back in office.
What Trump did in the mideast was to take a background stance in many areas letting either Israel or Saudi Arabia take the lead in muslims fighting other muslims which is how it should be in the nasty land of the mid-east.
Trump had an excellent rapport with MBS in Saudi Arabia and together with Israel they made super weapons that could take out any uprising anywhere in the mideast. The US would take a background stance providing whatever assistance required by the Saudis who took the lead.
It was never publicized much since the drivebys don't want to give Trump credit for anything but it worked until the election fraud created a pause in our real leaders goals and objectives but he will be back.
Afghanistan is an unusual circumstance and most analysts ignore the 1000 lb. bear in the room:drugs.
Afghanistan is little more than a huge poppy field with everyone from the Pakis,cia,isis,Taliband and whomever can move some product all in arms to take their share.
Historically the CIA has taken the lead(and is why we were there for 20 years,the only reason) and undoubtedly are still there. So who rules the actual country politically is of far less import than who guards the poppy fields.
photo says they are "nato" troops but its not likely
