• 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.

 Daily Miscellany

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

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

The Emperor Had No Clothes



Why yes I did watch the Sate of the Union speech on Tuesday, 3/1/22.

And like most people, I thought President Biden did a horrible job.

Suppose I was part of a criminal gang.  One night the gang, along with me, went a little crazy.  We set three houses on fire, we shot three humans and two dogs, we raped a couple of females walking home and we stole three cars.

A few days later it was my job to deliver a speech to a parent-teacher conference at a local school.

Below was some of the content of my speech.  

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen.  Tonight we are going to suggest some of the things this administration has changed and/or is going to change.

First, we will hire more firefighters to put out fires set by the enemy.  We will set up a vote to ban guns to most people except for police officers.  We will form more shelters for dogs who get shot by humans shooting their illegal guns.  We will accompany females walking alone in dangerous areas and will train to prevent sexual assaults.  We will outfit all automobiles with alarms that will sound loudly should anyone try to abscond with one that is not theirs and we will have them all connected with cell phones that will immediately phone their rightful owners should someone be messing around with the car that does not belong to them"

 In other words, I use my speech to expand on every bad thing that I, and my criminal gang, participated in and shout how I will put an end to them.

This is somewhat along the lines of Biden's speech on the first of March.  He is going to "fund" the police even though he and his party defunded plenty of police departments.

On and on he went, along these lines, Biden shouting proudly how he was to fix every bad thing he and his political party did and receiving vigorous applause from the likes of Kamala Harris, the VP, and Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, two of many that night who brought pain and suffering to America.

No one was really surprised, of course.  But I must ask God why we can't get a normal, reasonable and fair person to lead this country?

The Russian Attack on Ukraine

"I am so worried about this Russian war," my mother-in-law told me during our regular weekly phone call.  I told her that almost all of America was just as worried.

Except for the likes of my granddaughter, more on this later.

First of all, somebody needs to take a shotgun and shoot Putin right between the eyes.  Goodness knows I have heard enough about how the Russian soldiers don't know what they're doing, how Putin held off this invasion until after the recent Chinese Olympics, at THEIR request.  I've heard how Putin wants to reconstruct the old Soviet Union.

I've watched a Russian tank veer into a passenger car smashing it into the size of a pancake. I've watched apartment buildings be bombed and collapse into bricks and rubble.

How can one single human being be allowed to do all this?

Finally Putin intentionally (as I assert) announces he is preparing his nuclear team and experts to prepare them for what he hints might be necessary.

Many Americans remember when school children had to dive under their desks at the sound of an air siren.  Even more of us remember the mighty Cuban Missile crisis, when Russia decided that setting up nuclear bomb site in Cuba, right next to the United States bear in mind, would be a good idea.

My granddaughter, all of 18 years old, has never experienced such a thing.

Of course, that's not her fault, of the fault of so many of her age group from newborns to close to age 50.  I recall how scared I was, as a child hiding under the desk or a young adult hoping my president, John F. Kennedy, makes the Russians move their nearby missiles.

This is part of the reason so many Americans like me and my mother-in-law are nervous about this Russian war.

Of course, that's not the only reason.  This is the first war the world gets to watch as it happens.  I am shocked and shake when I see peaceful living quarters bombed for no discernible reason.

But speaking of successful and intelligent leaders for President, like JFK and the Cuban missile crisis, and the Ukrainian President.....I wish he was President of America.

AND HE CAN DANCE!!

American Idol 20 Years 


I checked in on this, the 20th episode of American Idol.  Kelly Clarkson, one of my favorite daytime divas, was winner of the FIRST American Idol and I remember her well.  Like I said, she now hosts her own daytime talk show and is one of the judges on The Voice.

At any rate, I rather enjoyed this first show with the new "platinum" ticket for various cities.

One big surprise was Aretha Franklin's granddaughter showed up as a contender.  The female AI judge want to pass her through.  I heard the child sing (she was very young, in her teens I think) and she did well but compared to the many other singers that are now in the top 20, she was not quite there.

At any rate, all of the singers were good and I look forward to listening to the contenders and see who wins.

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 Spider Reveals

This fly has been seriously hurt by some human nitwit with something they call a fly swatter.

I am going to live with this horrible punishment for daring to eat a crumb.  But as I recuperate it is the spider who spent time with me and told me some very interesting things.

"Listen," the spider began as I lay hurt and doubtful I will live, "you might have a difficult time believing what I am about to tell you.  But I have been sworn to secrecy and I want to tell somebody what I know."

I took a deep breath and turned my antennae to hear what big news the spider wanted to tell me.

"They all planned this," the spider loudly whispered.  I wiggled my antennae, not quite knowing who "they" were and what they planned.  What the spider told me shocked this fly.

"Biden, Putin, XI along with Kamala, Pelosi, Schumer and many more Democrats, they all planned this war, the victory of Russia over Ukraine, the ability for China to hold their Olympics with no bother from war and yes, they schemed with Ukraine to send them money after they are taken over by Russia."

I was very surprised, but of course.  Our President, VP, Speaker of the House and many in the Democrat political party planned for Russia to win Ukraine, for China to hold their Olympics and possibly take over Taiwan?

"They want to change the world," the spider continued.  "But they can't without getting votes.  Even the election steal was planned by these people so they could carry out their plan."

Wow.  Again, this fly was shocked.

"They got lots of money Mr. Fly," the spider went on.  "Hunter Biden, of course, was one of the biggest go-betweens, gleaning money from the Ukraine, China and Russia."

I asked the spider if he was sure of all this.

"YES!" he shouted.  "But the Bidens, who got paid well for sure, were not the only recipients of the money.  The money was spread out over all Democrat candidates so that they could control America, stop America from digging for oil, stop many Americans from remaining in jail for crimes they commit, and now they are going to let Russia win control of Ukraine."

We both paused.

"Then the Democrats will control, not just America, but the entire world.  They say Putin is a megalomaniac but the Democrats are full of the need for power and power comes with control of the planet earth."

Understand yon reader, this fly does not know if any of this is true.  In fact, I am just not sure how much the spider knows.

But I have never seen him eat or drink.

Something really strange about him.

One of your best. Multiple topics and all on point.

In a fair election I think many would reverse their decision and re elect Trump in a landslide.

Mean tweets aside , which are in the eyes of the beholder, vs pure incompetence he wins with no contest

JFK almost got us into a nuclear war with the Cuban missile crisis. High level officials of the JFK administration sent secretly their families out of the DC area fearful of a nuclear war. The Soviet Union blinked, but only after we made some compromises on stationing our missiles in Turkey. I wonder if JFK's assassination was connected in some way to his brinkmanship.

Zelensky is doing whatever he can to entrap us into a shooting war with Russia, including lying. He is not the hero the MSM has made him out to be.

I know that the much-admired President Zelensky in February 2021 closed down three opposition TV stations on the grounds of 'national security'. They went dark that night. I know that the opposition politician Viktor Medvedchuk was put under house arrest last year on a charge of treason. Isn't this the sort of thing Putin does?

"I know that Ukraine's army has used severe force against Russian civilians in the Don Basin since 2014. The Russians have done dreadful things there, too, but there are plenty of people who will tell you that. The point is that this is not a contest of saints versus sinners, or of Mordor versus the Shire."

Will Putin seed Moscow's 'protests against the Ukrainian War' with agents from the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB - the old KGB)

Then arrest demonstrators and put them in solitary confinement with no chance of bail? AND using cell phone records round up all Russians who showed up for the protests?

COULD PUTIN BE THAT HORRIBLE?
