Women tearing other women down
Now why is it that a lot of women tear other women down?
Watching Nikki Haley making it official today with her run for office in 2024, and then seeing where women from the TV show 'The View" going after Nikki Haley. Whoopi Goldberg was very vocal in going after her. You could just see their heads explode over her run.
I feel that when a lot of these type of women do this, they feel threatened over other women no matter the reason.
Now I know that these women on The View go after guys with political differences, but these women REALLY seem to go out of their way and want to go after the women they don't like.
A lot of women can be catty towards each other as well. Not an attractive trait to have for a woman.
Later, what the hell is wrong with some of us guys. Stay tuned!

Vanishing Blogs
I notice some blogs, are prone to being deleted, here, without notice. What are your thoughts on this? Is the famous "Freedom of Speech", (of which Americans are so mightily proud); in real danger?
Please discuss in the broader context of wider American society. Is this a sign of the times, that we are living in? Is America, inevitably, veering closer to China, in this respect?
The right to Free Speech, is more important, than the content of the speech.
- Voltaire
(Voltaire, by the way, was estimated to have an IQ of 190, and I'm willing to BET that nobody here, does (myself included). Therefore, having said that, maybe (just maybe), we should listen to, and study Voltaire?)

That no-talent Rihanna...
You know who made a comment about entertainer Rihanna as having no talent. This was just prior to her performance at the Super Bowl this past weekend. Okay, then explain how since the age of 17, she put out eight albums in total, with 14 number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. She is one of the best-selling digital artists of all time and has sold 60 million albums and 215 million digital tracks. Musically, that put her as a multi-millionaire.
Her real success comes from a line of her cosmetics and in February 2023, her estimated net worth is $1.4 Billion... Yes, "B-illion" and Forbes ranked her No. 21 on their list of America’s Richest Self-Made Women, becoming one of the youngest self-made female billionaires.
It's reported she didn't receive payment for her Super Bowl performance, but the appearance boosted her music career in more ways than one.
No-talent... I have to consider the source.

There are givers & there are takers
and there are.... dare I say it 
push overs also.
After deciding to downsize, my friend Ali's house sold quicker then she had thought leaving her no time to sell off her furniture as planned, because she had no storage place she had no choice but to give all away, so among many in chats, she spread the word around.
Many came and everyone that took something, offered her something (as in money) everyone that is, but the one who took the most.
Quickly fast forwarding
Ali recently moved into her new smaller home, went on DoneDeal to buy a second hand table and lord and behold, there was HER old dining room one up for sale for 1,200
Now Ali ain't no fool nor does she like to be treated like one either, yet as angry as she is she has decided not to say anything to Ms Greedy, this really maddens me but she's warned me not to say anything about it to her either ... so I gave her my word I wouldn't.
Having said that, I never promised her I wouldn't be digging a hole in the back garden with her name on it though
When push comes to shove, we need to step up for our push over friends...
Right

It's Valentine's Day..
Or as I call it: Tuesday. My day today has been okay. A lot of stuff to do at work, which is quite nice. It wouldn't be particularly fun if work was slow and boring.
Every day has a theme, it seems. Mondays are usually exhausts, since I pick so many exhausts during Mondays. Tuesdays are all about filters, while Wednesdays are all about oil. Thursdays are for the more troublesome things to pick, like subframes and Fridays are for all the small things (Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na)
Anyway.. Tomorrow's Wednesday, so we are almost half way through the work week. Actually, in about 16 hours (it's 21:42 here now on a Tuesday), we are officially half way through the work week, at least here in Denmark. It might be different where you are, though.
I hope you have had a fantastic day, and have treated yourself to something nice. You deserve it. Unless your name is Carl. In that case, you deserve nothing..

LOVE & RESPECT
Love - an intense feeling of deep affection.
Love is an emotion of strong affection, tenderness, or devotion toward a subject or object. (psychcentral.com)
Respect - a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.
An attitude of, or behaviour demonstrating, esteem, honour, regard, concern, and other such positive qualities toward an individual or entity.(dictionary.apa.org)
Would it make sense to reaffirm your love for him after he accuses you of disrespecting him? In your mind you say, “How could I disrespect him, when I love him?” Doesn’t he know that I only want what’s best for him? The thing is, unless he’s your child, or you’re his court-appointed foster parent or guardian, or GOD, it’s disrespectful to decide that YOU know “what’s best” for him (a grown man).
For many people, they’d prefer to have Respect, rather than Love, from their date/significant other. Love could grow as time passed, but respect is needed from the get-go. It took me a while to agree with this perspective, because I had always believed that Love conquers all (and I still do, from a biblical point of view), so it would be enough. And that’s perhaps why I was saddened when I was accused of disrespecting him. But much later, when I had a similar experience, the ‘light of truth’ came on in my head.
Assuming that someone respects you just because they profess love for you is myopic, and this can happen due to one’s naivety or clouded judgement. Perhaps it was due to reading too many romance novels, watching too many rom-coms or listening to too many love stories told by the girls at high school. Perhaps all of the above.
Whichever… Love is an emotion, but must be demonstrated or else it carries no worth. Respect is an attitude that ascribes worth without any direct action, even though it too, requires some level of demonstration. With them both, any relationship would thrive and could be more easily repaired when things go wrong, than with only one of them.
Sadly, it IS possible to love someone but lack (or lose) respect for him/her.

3 of us
There were 3 of us in a circle. My trivial argument was with Hank standing opposite to me. Hank was shorter and weaker than me and I knew I could subdue him in a short time without ourselves and anyone else getting seriously injured. The third party present, and furiously encouraging Hank to kill me, was my old enemy D!ck. D!ck and myself hated each other for no valid reason since Genisis chap 1.
I swung at Hank and could see I hurt him with the punch. While all this was taking place D!ck was encouraging Hank to kill me in any way possible. So I took aim and punched Hank again and it was at this moment when D!ck placed a knife into Hanks hand and told him to kill me once and for all. Yes he stabbed me and before he could stab me again I pulled out my firearm and shot Hank between the eyes, I then aimed at D!ck. D!ck was pleading with me not to shoot him as it wasn't him that had stabbed me but Hank
Am I justified to shoot the supplier of the weapon that nearly killed me?
If D!ck hadn't supplied the knife I would not have been wounded and Hank would still be alive.
Who is the main culprit to this tragedy?
Well if I had shot D!ck, I would've been tried for murder and be found guilty as the law states I can only use my weapon if my life is threatened, which I did. So what will happen to the main instigator?
Not much. Civil case yes, in which he will probably say Hank asked him for the knife. My word against his.
Is this fair
Or would you just shoot him and hope that the court will have mercy on you?

War Of The Worlds?
A 4th unknown object was shot down by USAF/NORAD tonight, Super Bowl Sunday. First objects shot down over US airspace since the formation of NORAD. All 4 in the space of a week. A Pentagon press briefing was held to brief the press.
Only 1 of the objects has been confirmed to be a spy balloon of Chinese origin. The others were Unknown Flying Objects (UFOs) of totally different construction and unknown origin.
First reports from the pilots sent on the last few shootdowns describe car sized objects moving slowly (under 100 MPH) and changing direction seemingly without any regard to angular motion or need to follow curved paths when doing so.
The reported shapes of the objects while flying vary. The objects had low radar reflectivity. Only enhancements to US radars and missiles made after the release and conclusions of the 2021 Report on Unidentified Aerial Vehicles (UAV) operating near sensitive US military operations and sites allowed detection of the objects.
The F22 pilot that shot down the one over Alaska reported experiencing electronic problems with his aircraft as he approached the assigned target. When shot down that UFO appeared to turn into a mist and vanished upon hitting the water. No debris of that was found (yet). No debris has been found (yet) for the next two either.
When a reporter from the CNN asked USAF asked if the objects had any effect on the sensors of the fighter jets. 3 star USAF General Vanherck (Commander of North American Airspace Defense Command (aka NORAD) refused to discuss the effect of the last 3 UFOs on the electrical systems of the fighter jets approaching them or what the pilots reported seeing and summarized that refusal by saying all relevant data and accounts is being analyzed and he will wait for a report of the analysis before deciding on the best actions.
A reporter for the NY Tiimes then pointed out that since it is admitted no one knows what the objects are, or who launched them, has the US ruled out their being of extraterrestrial origin? General Vanherck told her that at this stage 'he has not ruled anything out,' and it is hoped that analysis of all data and examination of any found debris will provide enough information for our intelligence agencies to make some determinations.
FBI C-10 (counter-intelligence) will take the lead for investigations on US Territory while the RCMP is the lead agency for the UFO downed in Canada. Both agencies will use military assets to recover any debris.
Assistant Secretary of Defense Melissa Dalton advised it is highly probable some images of the UFOs will be released at some time in the future along with such other information as may become available.

TikTok...
Some people are afraid that China is spying on Americans via the TikTok app. Have you seen any of their videos? Millions... yes, millions of 4 to 40 second videos of people doing snake-dance and gyrations. China... is this what you are looking for?
