Daily Miscellany
Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.
Enjoy. Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".
The Mighty Vaccine Debate-Many Questions
I am 71 years old, of reasonably good health, but of an age when joints and stuff begin to whither.
I have all my life gotten vaccines, to include for polio, for Smallpox, various and sundry flu shots when available, and so on.
So when Covid came along, and vaccines were reasonably easy to get, with no hesitation I got a Covid vaccine. Since I didn't want to run all over town I got the J&J vaccine when it came to a local town to handle vaccination in droves and only ONE jab was required.
I didn't ever consider that my government might harm me with these vaccines in that I didn't catch Smallpox, polio, or other flus.
Now all I hear is people refusing to get vaccines and frankly I am not sure I blame them.
The whole set up was too fast, not a long enough term to plan the long-term effects.
Every day I hear about some child/young adolescent, adult....dies, gets blood clots, is hospitalized, as a result of getting vaccinated.
And hey, silly me, I figured if I was vaccinated than I could care less who around me, servicing me, in my presence....is vaccinated.
Hey, I am vaccinated thus I am safe. If other people are too lazy or stupid to get vaccinated I could care less.
But now I learn that never mind if you are vaccinated or not, YOU MUST WEAR A MASK. If you are not vaccinated, in certain states and businesses, then all workers must wear a mask or get fired.
Mandates, they are called. Silly me, I figured that those who haven't been vaccinated should get vaccinated and those who got vaccinated and can prove it must be left alone.
You mean the vaccine might not work?
And now you want me to get a booster shot?
I don't like any of this one bit. How long are we going to need to keep getting booster shots?
Does my booster shot need to be made by J&J? Will I need to get a booster shot the rest of my life? How about the regular flu shots? Do I still get those? Can I get both at same time?
I don't want to get two flu shots at the same time. I don't hear answers that make sense to me.
Further, if I have learned nothing about this Biden administration, I think they are entirely capable of jabbing people with something that might kill a lot of us.
The whole setup just smells and is being used against us.
If they ever wipe out the COVID virus....well they already know how to make more vaccines thus....well wars aren't fought with just helicopters and guns anymore, are they?
The Attorney General Garland says don't question the schools
AG Merrick Garland is the most crooked and dishonest politico living today.
Now he sic's the FBI on us silly folk who attend school board meetings to express our concern for what the teachers' unions are teaching our children.
Seriously, the FBI for attending a school board meeting?
Once upon a time attendance at school board meetings by parents was greatly encouraged. Now that liar and scoundrel Garland is going to have the FBI investigate us.
This horrid action is still ongoing and a few Republicans, those with more than air between the legs, have come out with anger.
Remember, these people wanted to appoint this guy to the Supreme Court!
God help us.

Facebook Whistleblower Talks to Congress
I must suppose the Democrats/Congress Critters thinks we were born at night.....LAST NIGHT!!!
That so-called WhistleBlower from Facebook, come on. The whole "testimony" before congress was a fake, an attempt to get the conservatives to cheer on the destruction of Facebook as that marvelous social media site make young girls think they are fat and prone to suicide.
Say what?
Here us boobs out here in la-la land where we carry this country on our backs originally thought the whole issue was about the constant times we are put in Facebook jail, the times we are "shaddow hidden" and heaven forbid we should mention a possibility that the 2020 election was faked.
And the Facebook off-line the following day affirms my belief, along with many others, that there are NO coincidences.
The Fly on the Wall (who is NOT a drone, do not call him that, he gets insulted) chanced to enter a meeting where the Facebook plan was explained then implemented.
The Fly understands it all.

----------------------------------------------------------Review of those FBI shows
There are currently THREE FBI shows, all on CBS.
First, let us establish that the FBI is the WORST investigative/national police force on the planet. They messed up the Atlanta bomber. The messed up the anthrax debacle, actually draining the pond of he who the FBI suspected. Goodness, raise your hand if you considered Comey a most wonderful fellow who let Hillary off the hook, wrote a book to make much money, and was fired.
So I've noted of late that the TV shows of recent are big propaganda machines. Every show has a homosexual couple. Lots of black people proudly pronounced winners, nothing wrong with this but why the big deal about the color of your skin?
And now the media has got to use THREE weekly shows to illustrate to us viewers how wonderful the FBI is.
So I chanced to watch the first of this season's FBI show.
Almost at the start of the show the plot involved a bunch of redneck crackers with exaggerated southern accents, all threatening to go out and bomb the public.
My radar went off. Obviously this show was going to make conservatives look bad.
This week I watched all three of the FBI shows and sure enough trust that we will never see these characters draining ponds for anthrax or charging heroes of the bombing with the actual deed.
The FBI show involved a veterans group setting off bombs and killing people for treating those who died in war badly.
VETERANS! How often do you hear about a group of veterans killing innocent people?
From Emmy Award winner Dick Wolf and the team behind "FBI" and the "Law & Order" franchise, "FBI: Most Wanted" is a high-stakes drama focusing on the Fugitive Task Force, which relentlessly tracks and captures the notorious criminals on the Bureau's Most Wanted list. Seasoned agent Jess LaCroix over…
FBI Most Wanted involved a storyline about a bad judge who sent pickpockets to jail for a thousand years. Turned out the judge was sending the kids to a place in which he had money invested in.
An adolescent, black, got sick of the judge when he sent his beloved girlfriend to this place which was endlessly mean when those inside didn't put the toilet paper on right.
This sounds like something the FBI would do. But hey, gotta have the legal system being mean to black people because it's the propaganda they want to embrace.
From Emmy Award-winning executive producer Dick Wolf, "FBI: International" is the third iteration of the successful FBI franchise, following the elite operatives of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's International Fly Team. Headquartered in Prague, they travel the world with the mission of tracking and neutralizing threats against American citizens wherever they may be.
FBI International involved an American that was transporting crypto coins and got killed while traveling through Switzerland of all places.
The FBI came over to Switzerland and the story line went on with car chases, gun fights, typical police type show.
The things about this show was how it was pointed out to us stupid viewers how the FBI dropped everything and went overseas to find the American's killers.
Well they couldn't go to Afghanistan but this episode shows us how quickly the FBI went to avenge a murdered American.
Yeah, right.

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 Facebook Meeting
"Her name is Frances Haugen and she's been practicing all night. She's ready to testify," an Aide of Nancy Pelosy said to an Aide of Senator Shoomer.
I was flying around since I saw the cart of coffee and cake being wheeled down the hall and wanted to get inside on the wall just as soon as the door was open.
I did listen throughout the meeting but was more interested in the crumbs than the conversation.
It was only until two weeks later, when I saw this Frances Haugen testifying before the human congress that I realize what I had heard and how I don't think the humans knew.
"She is going to testify to how Facebook thinks more about profits than preventing bad things from happening to people," Aide 1 said.
"I thought this was going to be an attempt to get the government involved so that there was a shortcut into getting those nasty Trump voters off of Facebook," Aide 2 said.
Aide 1 gave a loud shush and put his human finger to his lip. "That is the plan," he said, then took a bite of cake, dropping luscious crumbs on the floor.
"She is going to say how Facebook does nothing about young female adolescents that get anorexia and maybe leads to suicide," Aide 1 continued. "We got a lecture that will make the Trump voters just as mad as when they are put in Facebook jail." Aide 1 took a long sip of coffee then continued.
"Trump voters," Aide 1 gave a mocking laugh. "They think they are better than everyone and they're sure not going to allow Facebook let other people mock young females for being fat. They will go along with the demand for some sort of government agency to overlook what goes on on Facebook. This way Zuckerberger is not burdened with the job."
Aide 2 then guffawed. "Once we get a bureaucracy in place we start throwing the Trump voters off of Facebook. Then America will hear what it should be hearing, not that Trump nonsense."
I watched what they call the Facebook Whistleblower and since I am a fly and cannot talk, my desire to warn the humans not to fall for her scam was for naught.
Yon human readers, be aware.
