• Morning AB, All. As always, thank you AB for doing this thread so reliably and keeping the peace with gentle thread policing. Thank you Bray for weekly written wisdom, Thank all yon contributors for excellent commentary to flesh it all out.

• Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.

Yes I am compiling a Blog about the great pandemic of 2020 and how my country stupidly shut down the economy.  We will have opinions, political and cultural highlights, my personal experience, social media details, even TV reviews since I watch so much TV while in my home jail.  We shall, as always, end with a smile.

MAJOR POLITICAL EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(another update)

Biden speech on Weds 6/23/21

So President Biden gave a "speech" this past Wednesday night and it was, as his speeches often are, awful.

First, speculation has it that the Democrats are taking a lot of heat for the horrific crime waves hitting the big cities  across America. So they sent Biden out to assure the world that never mind the reduction of funds for cops, calls for the killing of cops, cops quitting everywhere....this has nothing to do with the current crime wave.

IT'S THE DAMN GUNS!

Not that anyone is surprised that Biden went after the guns in this country.  In mid of night, guns across this continent awake, load themselves with bullets, and go out and shoot people.

The guns have got to go.

Meanwhile, yon descendants, guns are selling out across the land because what with all the guns going out and killing people we might not have enough left to protect our own human selves.

Folks, lock up your guns to keep them from getting out.

Collapse of condo in Miami

It might not be considered political, but it is big news across the land.

It seems that a condo building has collapsed in Miami Beach, Florida.  Many people are believed to be trapped below the rubble as of this writing.

Man, Biden can't get a break.  He becomes President and guns come out of hiding, illegals stream across the border, teenagers are dying from the COVID vaccines and now the very buildings we live in are collapsing below our feet.

You know what we need yon descendants?

We need Donald Trump to return.

MAJOR CULTURE EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(one more update)

Football Player Comes Out as Gay

Defensive End Carl Nassib of the Las Vegas Raiders came out today, the first active NFL player in history to do so.

First, really, who cares?

But, of course, that is all the rage nowadays. I am also to understand that former American Idol David Archeluta has also come out, declaring he is bisexual and wants to love both men and women.

Nature has made it so that reproduction occurs with an act between a male and a female. Such acts between two males or two females will not result in reproduction.

Being LGBTQ is all the rage nowadays but no children come from their pleasure.


Britney Spears

I been hearing stories about Britney Spears and I am enough of a gossip that my ears perk. I found out some things that shock me.

First, she is 40 years old now. Second, for the past more than ten years her father controls her life and her money. Britney went to court to get her freedom and to be her own person.

I do remember a period of time when Britney cut off her hair and was acting very crazy. Not that I paid all that much attention to it, Spears not being one of my favorite performers.

But at age 40, even if she is a screw-up, she deserves to have control of her life AND the money that SHE earned.

Have not heard the result of the court hearing but ears are close to the ground.

Celebrity Dating Game


ABC 10pm, Monday

Hosted by actress and singer-songwriter Zooey Deschanel and multiple Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Michael Bolton, "The Celebrity Dating Game" offers a wry wink at modern dating with a star-studded roster of celebrity singles from television, music, comedy, reality TV and feature film in their pursuit to find love. O

This is a new show but there was an original "Dating Game" show that was rather popular.  Only that show featured us peasants, both as a date-seeker and as those who wish to be sought.

One of the first guests on this version of the show was Carson Kressley, a shining member of the LGBTQ community.  He, of course, was seeking a male contender for his first date.

Like the original version of the show, the contenders for a date with a contestant are not seen by he or she who would choose him or her.  They do answer questions as posed by the contestant and based on those answers, the contestant makes a choice of which contender they will choose.

Another contender was a former Bachelorette and three guys who vied for her as a date.  Man, she was a Bachelorette, she should be married and have three kids by now.  Guess it didn't work out for her.

I kind of enjoy this show.  Honestly, I like the Celebrity version better than the original because I can make fun of the famous people.

EDITORIAL
(My opinion for my descendants)
Jefferson's countervailing sources explains what's going on in America today

Yes, yes.  The election appears to have been stolen.  And since Biden has become president lots of things in America are getting worse.

Do not despair.

Listen to the wise words of none other than Thomas Jefferson.

Jefferson coined the concept of the law of countervailing forces.  It isn't rocket science.  The concept is that there are periods when one principle of life is embraced by the people and periods when another concept is then embraced.  The result is a country...a populace if you will, that sways slightly this way and slightly that way.  The citizenry grows and thrives and has better lives together.

This is what is happening now.

Biden might have stolen the election but the result is an emphasis on being black in America.  Sure, it's all unfair.  We freed the slaves over a hundred years ago.  But Biden was helped to election by such as "Black Lives Matter" and as a result the emphasis is on the alleged mistreatment of blacks.

Of course it's alleged.  The notion of white supremacy is nonexistent but the efforts are achieving the effect of a countervailing force pulling the country leftward.

They've got two years to pull the country in the direction that they want.  Because America, no mind who is in charge, tends to center around the middle politically.  This screaming over racism and efforts to give black Americans more power, is not going to last.  In 2022 the countervailing force will begin to pull in the other direction.

But all will not be lost.  There are, perhaps, police who unjustly treat black people.  Perhaps in our daily lives we do not pay attention to our treatment of people of color.  An argument can be made that police will not be eliminated or even defunded.  But an awareness of treating everyone equal, black or white, might be the result.

Jefferson's law of countervailing forces, and the great people of all colors who carry this country on their backs, will prevail.

America will not go down without common sense rebuilding our destiny.

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.

Meeting of Black versus White

I have no idea of the human identities of the men in the room but they were scheduled for a meeting, which I noted on my fly memo pad, and turned out for a banquet of crumbs.

"We're are only making white people mad at us," one guy was standing and shouting when I flew in.

"Who cares," another dark man said.

As a fly I do notice that humans sometimes have different skin color, unlike house flies that are all black.  This room seems to be filled with all black humans.  And they were arguing and debating loudly.

"Back people are now about 18% of the population," one man said, eating a donut and dropping delicious crumbs everywhere.  "That means we've got a ways to go before we control this country.  For now, we need to get along better with white people than we are with ridiculous black lives mattering and ridiculous charges of white supremacy."

"Yes.  We need to get rid of BLM," another black man stood and shouted.

"We only have until 2022 and from then on we will lose any gains we might make during this post election victory run," a black woman shouted, as she was the first female in the room as she entered.

"They will first change the House of Representatives, then the Senate and by 2024, who knows, we might have Trump again," the lady ended, taking a seat with  a harumph that she made her point.

That's why we have to do everything we can possibly do now.  We should not make the same mistake as the Republicans when they had the House, Senate and Presidency in their control," another man rose and shouted.

"We've got to get rid of the filibuster, add about 5 more to the Supreme Court, defund police departments or at the least take away some of their power.  Yes, we're not going to hold on to the shaky power we now have beyond 2024 but we should grab all the power we can while we have a chance."

The shouting continued but this fly had enough crumbs and was tired of the human arguments.

Frankly, as a black fly, I am rooting for the black humans.

If I may be indulged....First, there’s the Lewes matter.

Cousin Mike put up a post last week, when I was discussing the fabulouso town of Lewes, Delaware. DO NOT PRONOUNCE AS LOOZE. You get shot for that.

Anyway, Mike put up a story about somebody dropping money on Lewes harbor. I did a little research and discovered it was true! And it happened while I lived here!


Leonard Maull, a Lewes High School grad and superb basketball player, avid fisherman, nicknamed ‘Squid’ grew up on 2nd Street, the large lot before it was subdivided. He ran a fishing boat and ultimately operated a bait and tackle shop on Kings Hwy across from the light at Five Points entrance and said upon his death, $10,000 in small bills to be let go by helicopter over the canal at Anglers restaurant.

From <https://www.facebook.com/groups/142875859190648/permalink/2442360039242207/?comment_id=2443157852495759&reply_comment_id=2444280732383471&notif_id=1624306822978182&notif_t=group_comment&ref=notif


By the way, don’t tell anybody from Lewes I said this, but that town is going downhill. I don’t live in Lewes but I live on the outskirts.

Rehoboth Beach is but a skip away, Biden owns a beach home there and is always coming down and blocking traffic.

Rehoboth Beach is known far and wide as a haven for homosexuals...the stories I can tell.

But they’re all moving to Lewes now and it’s awful.

Now, about Derek Chauvin....how sad, how very sad is this?

22 years, and more to come, in jail.

Yes, he did wrong. If ever I told someone to make a horrific video that makes the main person therein look about as awful as a person can be, it would be this one.

I suppose he should have got some kind of punishment....fired....probation, community service, a year or two in jail.

But that sentence, in my opinion, was way out of line for St. Floyd.

I suspect, but hope I am wrong, that Chauvin might commit suicide.

Witnesses of the building collapse first said they heard a loud noise and then the collapse. Some have suggested a bomb may have caused it all.

I have seen water damage,spalling,and every conceivable concrete problem there is here in south fla. since the 50’s. It's rare that buildings fall all at once like this one did. Especially,after hearing a loud noise first!What was the noise?anyone asking that question? The usual rot from concrete buildings is cracks everywhere and eventually a small part of the building will fall or crack off. It's rare an entire wing goes, more likely something caused it to disintegrate.

Was it vain John Kerry that colored the front one inch of hair, and left all the hair in the back white?
It is the opposite of normal progression, your hair starts grey in front, and the hair in back is the last to turn grey.
