Hegseth pleads with Congress for a trillion dollars more to continue with the Iran War. Lawmakers want to know when he plans on wrapping things up. Before Taylor Swift releases her next album? No stimulus checks from the Trump Government yet. No gas rebates, consumer tariff refunds. Nothing. Also Trump wants Jimmy Kimmel fired (again) and ABC's license revoked over some Melania joke. Most folk ain't up that late anyway. Every president has been made fun of by the late-night comedians. Goes with the territory. No president has ever made an issue about it before. You have a planet to run ya know?Meanwhile YouTube is demonetizing platforms over what it considers inauthentic content. The stuck poop videos get to stay though.
Back when I was a kid we had a wooden radio with 2 dials, a dial phone and the daily newspaper. Progress? Little Orphan Annie's problems were minor BTW.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of the comics I still remember Dick Tracy. They always gave a crime tip like if your phone rings and you pick it up and there's nobody there it might be a criminal finding out the best time to rob your home. Nowadays there's over a 90% chance it's a telemarketer.
ReplyDeleteWH scuttlebutt that DJT thinks he is the most powerful man in the world, comparing himself to Napoleon, Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great. But they were military geniuses and had no bone spurs.
ReplyDeleteI saw something disturbing on my way to work today. Gas shot up again.
ReplyDeleteOlder lady up the street took us out and treated us to breakfast at a local place. Very religious lady, said a long grace when the food came. Moving the conversation on in religious terms, I told of my Grandma Thompson (GT to us progeny). She ran a puppy mill, faked pedigrees and ordered her ex husbanD (poor Al) around all day. She ordered a magpie through the mail, planning on teaching it to talk. Between hollering at Al and coaxing the magpie and breeding starving dogs, she got a call from the local pastor. She prepped up, armed with all sorts of biblical arguments for her theological due. Our religious hosted listened fascinated. Pastor came in looked around and asked if that was a magpie?. GT said yes, but he can't talk. Pastor goes over the to bird and says "surely you must be able to talk" Bird cocked his head sideways and shouted "DAMED AL!"
ReplyDeleteOur white haired hostess slid under the table laughting. She pops up and says "Is that true?" My Mrs. says "Sadly, yes{ and she stared guffawing again. Hmmm- was I a proper guest?
