Afghanistan War Finally Ended

There is nothing that I could add to the confusion of last week surrounding the most unfortunate events in Afghanistan that haven't already been covered extensively by the news organizations and watched by me.

I will not bore yon reader with repeats.  The picture above sums it up in that these are the Afghans who managed to get into an airplane at Kabul airport, a plane met to hold about 150 people but the picture above shows over 600 people in the belly of that plane.

They are trying to get out of Afghanistan but it was so poorly planned that they were jumping in the airplane wheel wells and running to catch airplanes taking off.

It was a horror to watch.

And,  of course, President Biden has made a fool of himself.

Way I figger, the Chinese wanted the Taliban to take over Afghanistan so that the Chinese could mine for parts of electronic components and grow a fine crop of heroin.

What with Biden commanded and controlled by the Chinese, he does what they ask.

WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS??????

They keep letting this guy get away with selling our country for some fine won ton soup.

Review "Fantasy Island"

Fox-Tuesdays 9:00 pm
https://www.fox.com/fantasy-island/

A modern drama series, FANTASY ISLAND takes place at a luxury resort, where literally any fantasy requested by guests is fulfilled, although they rarely turn out as expected. The resort is run by Elena Roarke (Roselyn Sanchez), who set aside her own ambitions — and even the love of her life — to uphold her family’s legacy.

Let us establish a few things right now.  There was once another show titled "Fantasy Island" which involved Ricardo Mountebalm and a midget who would announce that "da plane" is coming.  I never watched that show and don't know how this version of the show is based, if at all, on that version of the show.  

Next thing, I do not much like this show but it's new on the horizon and so I checked it out.

There is a plane that comes in to land on this version of the show.  The guests somehow have their fantasies come true when they are guests on the island.

I don't quite understand how that happens but there is a main character that evidently has a hand in it.  There is another main character that was once a guest on the island and had her fantasy of becoming well and  very young come true. But to remain that well she had to let her husband leave the island and she had to stay behind.

These two are in charge of the guests, who are busy having their fantasies revealed by however it happens.

This past week the show featured a couple that had a female who wanted to have a baby with a husband who did not so wish.  They came to Fantasy Island and the first morning after their arrival they both awoke with the bodies of their spouse but with their own minds.

So the female of the pair was biologically a female but her mind was her husband's.  Same with the male.  His mind was that of his wife.

The show was peppered with things they discover about how their spouse experiences things.  It was a learning experience I must suppose, up to and including sex.

The clients of Fantasy Island are returned to their former selves when they climb aboard the plane to return back to their normal lives.  In the case of the male half of the couple who did not want a child, he left the island looking forward to being a father.

Again, I don't much like the show as it seems very unbelievable and a bit silly.

But watch, if at least once, especially is you liked the original version of the show.

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 Debate on the War In Afghanistan

In fact I did attend a meeting about the human war in Afghanistan recently although I had no idea what they were discussing.

War is a human thing although flies do fight for their lives if required but we do not have weapons or flies that call themselves the Tallyban.

The meeting was attended by some humans wearing weird clothes that I now understand belongs to human soldiers.  President Biden was at this meeting and thus this fly had to keep a low profile as Biden hates house flies and demands his staff kill us immediately.

Still, I heard some things that made not much sense then but now, with all the TV coverage of the Afghan thing, it makes more sense.

"We need to wait until winter, Mr. President," one of the males dressed as a soldier said.

"Why?" Biden asked.  This fly thinks the human president is not so very smart.

"The Tallyban will be in Pakistan during the winter months and we can better round up all American citizens and our Afghanistan allies much easier," the soldier said.

"If you do it next week like you want," another male said, not wearing a uniform but referred to as a "secretary" of something, "the Tallyban will kill those we want to save before we can get them out of the country."

"We need the begin pulling out NEXT week," Biden said, as he stood up with an attempt to leave the meeting.  "We cannot wait another few months until winter."

With that the human president left the room.  After, as this fly came down from the wall with the fly-killing human president gone from the room, looking for crumbs, as the remaining people shouted and screamed at each other, cursing the human Biden president, demanding that they contact Valeria and the former human president Obama to order Biden to change his order that America should leave Afghanistan the following week.

This fly is going to one day run for president of the humans.  I've learned it all, especially where to find the best crumbs.

Yes, that is a handsome Fabio-like dog!

He was a dark and muscular pooch, with dark eyes and dark ways and a dark past...

There is an ad on with a fellow who looks just like his dog, both blonde, and they both look so much like Tom Petty that I start hearing "Breakdown" in my head.

If you owned that dog, would you name him Fabio?
