 Daily Miscellany

Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.

Enjoy.  Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".

The horrible, awful press conference by Biden on 1/19/22

Please ignore those who said Biden's recent conference was so terrible.

He did a wonderful job.  Because evidently someone told him to repeat everything he's been saying all along, but THIS time say it with force and make America know that YOU are the boss.

Thus, even though his absurd "Build Back Better" package is hated and despised by everyone, Biden said, over and over that it was perfect and will bring perfection to America.

Oh, and while most folks know that Kamala Harris, though appointed in charge of the border crisis had not even went there, Biden declares she was doing a terrific job.

Inflation, Biden stated firmly, is NOT a problem in America.  Oh, it might be a temporary jolt, Biden said, America needs to stop complaining about.

He lied and said nothing new except that he was going to spend less time in Delaware (which makes this writer happy in that I live in Delaware) and go out and talk directly to Americans.

He licked his lips, his eyebrows just looked weird, he chastised a questioner wrongly and at times  forgot what he was talking about.

The famous Peter Doocy , of Fox News, got one chance at a question.  He asked President Biden why is insists on pushing this country to the left.

Biden answered perfectly.  Because he had evidently been instructed to answer all questions affirmative and however is needed to make it sound good, Biden said, as I paraphrase..."I am pushing America to the middle.  We all need to get along and to assert that I am pushing the country in any direction other than the direction it needs to go is just wrong and untrue."

Which is how Biden answered most of the questions as he was evidently instructed.

Like I said, he did a wonderful job.

The Synagogue Hostages




https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4030310/posts


The family of Malik Faisal Akram, the Islamic jihadi from Britain who took hostages in Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, Saturday, has “demanded to know how he was allowed into America despite a long criminal record,” says the UK’s Daily Mail. More than just his family should be asking this question. How was this man able to storm a synagogue in Texas and take people hostage at gunpoint when he shouldn’t have been allowed into the United States in the first place? If anything shows how broken our immigration system is under the regime of Biden’s handlers, it is this entire episode.
------------------------------------------------------------
There is a big mystery about this guy, a fine fellow who took four people hostages at a Texas synagogue for his demand to release another criminal Muslim, a female currently in custody for terrorist activity.

First, the question becomes....why on earth was this guy allowed into the United States?  He has a known reputation for suspicious activity.

Second, why on earth did our marvelous and glorious FBI publicly declare that the attack on the synagogue was not necessarily an anti-Semitic action?

Please.

The FBI thinks we were all born at night...LAST NIGHT.

Is it a coincidence that this Muslim held people in a synagogue hostage?  Jews and Muslims have been fighting forever.

An awful story.  Proves how terrible our immigration system is and how incredibly intelligent and un-astute our FBI is.

Review: Restaurant Impossible VS. Gordan Ramsay's 24 Hours to Hell and Back

So we have TWO chefs that have shows doing essentially the same thing.

Robert Irvine goes to restaurants in need of a re-vamp.  His show is on Food Network, more information below, plus a description of one of his shows.


Thursdays at 8, Food Network

Season 19, Episode 8

https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/restaurant-impossible

Chef Robert Irvine travels to Loveland, Colo., to revive a family-run Mexican restaurant. Owners Ritchie and his mother Alma haven't made a dime since they opened six years ago. Ritchie has been running virtual kitchens to make ends meet, but they are failing too. Robert has two days to turn this restaurant's virtual disaster into a successful business or risk closing its doors forever.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Gordon Ramsay has a show on Fox network.  His shtick is to take 24 hours and renovate the entire restaurant needing his expertise, thoroughly clean the place which is always filthy, teach all the cooks and head chef how to cook better, and deal with the anguish of the family that owns the place.


Tuesdays on Fox

https://www.fox.com/gordon-ramsays-24-hours-to-hell-and-back/

This reality series features award-winning chef Gordon Ramsay driving to struggling restaurants across the country in his state-of-the-art mobile kitchen and command center, Hell On Wheels. In today's social media-driven world, everyone is an amateur food critic, and restaurants often find themselves..

--------------------------------------
Gordon Ramsay also has several other culinary shows, most on Fox.

This version of the theme of "reviving a failing restaurant" is not near as good as Robert Irvine's.

First, Ramsay always manages to find a place with rotten food, dead mice in the refrigerator, filthy surroundings.

Irvine doesn't go so overboard and concentrates more on the culinary offerings than Ramsay.

If you've seen Gordon's 24 hour attempt to revamp a failing restaurant you soon realize that there is always the nauseating filth, the horribly cooked food, and the dysfunctional family.

Irvine doesn't over-do it like Ramsay.  He doesn't pull dead mice out of the chicken legs, he doesn't get involved in restaurant owners that have arguments and constant disagreements.  

Which is not to say that there is an element of these elements in the Irvine series but he concentrates mostly on the culinary output and the viewer watches him show the cooks how to do a better job.

Ramsay, I don't know, if I am absolutely bored and need to see another dead mouse, I will give how show a look-see.

Irvine does a much better job with his production.

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 to Deal with Kamala

It was the spider that informed me about the big meeting to deal with human Vice-President Kamala Harris as it was top secret and attended only by Democrats.  There were lots of snacks providing me lots of crumbs.

I always wonder how the spider knows this stuff.  While I am only a fly, he is only a spider.

"Okay, you all know why you are here," one of the attendees said.  I have no idea the identity of any of these attendees but the spider told me they were all Democrats.

"Yes," another attendee shouted.  "We are trying to figure out how to get rid of Biden without having Harris step up to fill the void.  If the rest of the Democrat party knows Kamala will fill the vacancy left after we convince Biden to leave they will not try to remove Biden."

There was silence for a while but I didn't mind.  Some ate cookies, some ate donuts....they all were leaving crumbs.

"So we need to figure out how to remove BOTH Biden and Harris," another attendee broke the silence.  "why can't we just ask Kamala to leave along with Biden?"

"Because we are going to convince Biden to leave based on health reasons," a woman at the back said.  "He is very willing to do it as he is just too sick to continue."

"If we ask them both to leave America will think that Democrat party knows they messed up bad by electing those two," another attendee shouted.  "Which we DID mess up bad but we want to make the removal by Biden to look natural and inevitable.  But having Kamala step up is NOT going to work."

Now I don't know what happened because all of a sudden some loud noise started, which the spider told me was a human fire alarm.

"The Democrats really messed up on this one," the spider whispered in my ear as we both left the room with the humans.

"I really wanted to hear how they were going to solve the problem," the spider whispered.  "It looks like someone found out about this secret meeting, maybe one of Harris' old lovers, and set the alarm to set it.  Oh well, maybe next time."

The spider shrugged one of its many shoulders and this fly just wished he had more time enjoying the crumbs left behind.

I have to disagree with you re Ramsey vs Irvine.

One episode of irvine’s show was about Bobby helping out a restaurant owned by two gay guys. But Bobbo said he couldn’t fix the restaurant until he, Robert, mended the boys’ relationships. That sent me heaving that night’s dinner into the toilet.

If I’m not mistaken Roberta also briefly had an attempt at having an afternoon show a la Dr Phil which was about him counseling people with relationship problems.

Plus Irvine is an utter a-hole.

Nope there’s no Robert Irvine showing up on my television any more.

Ole Joeys tough guy act is wearing thin. You can tell when he raises his hand and uses his ‘ here’s the deal “ he on auto pilot using his tried and true diversions but now they are more highlighted due to the infrequencynof his appearances and the obvious scripted answers.
