Much to my shock I'm horrified to find out asylum seekers/migrants/refugees are entitledallowed to vote in our up coming referendum 8th/march

Surely this is wrong?
I wait eagerly to be corrected

Although I know I'm registered nevertheless, I checked earlier to be sure...
Don't know why or how but turns out there is an error with my PPS number, which means I may not be registered at all, so if like me you care about your country and you plan to vote a double NO NO, don't take your registration for granted, be certain you ARE.

The deadline for registering and updating your details is 20th February.

Scientists are concerned about the spread of disease within deer populations in North America, write Samuel White and Philippe Wilson.


In the tranquil expanses of North America’s woodlands and grasslands, a silent but concerning phenomenon is unfolding: chronic wasting disease (CWD).


The condition — often dubbed "zombie deer disease" — is stealthily spreading among deer populations, sparking concerns among scientists, conservationists and the public alike.


This neurological affliction, characterised by myriad symptoms, such as drooling, lethargy, stumbling and a vacant gaze, has now been detected in over 800 samples of deer, elk and moose in Wyoming alone, highlighting the scale and urgency of the issue.


At the heart of the CWD puzzle lies a peculiar culprit: prions.

For years, Jordan Klepper from the Daily Show brought out the best (and worst) of the mindset in voters. I've seen episodes of him at Trump rallies, trying to find logic with the illogical and how he exposed people with total contradictions in their belief about the candidates.
This episode is about Nikki Haley supporters just days before she suspended her campaign after losing in Super Tuesday.
Titled KLEPPER VS. "NEVER TRUMPERS" Jordan, interviews some die-hard Haley supporters who said they would never vote for Trump again. When asked who they would vote for if Haley dropped out... well, their answers are surprising.






Deciding on a blog category had me thinking. Although it's political, it's also comedy, about society, opinionated, lifestyle and more.
I'll go with entertainment.

For years, I've avoided entertainment awards shows for various reasons. Sometimes it's the politics in the business, sometimes a case of who you blow or who you know and not the actual talent you have. Always, and I mean always, there are disappointments and hurt feelings, especially from the losers.

What was it... less than 2 weeks ago, there was another show and while accepting an award for Dr. Dre, Jay-Z (Beyoncé's husband) decides to use his time in the spotlight to slam the Grammy's because she didn't receive an award for album of the year.

In her career, Beyoncé has raked up 32 Grammy's and holds the record. The two of them combined have 56 wins.

I read some reader reviews and that his action didn't sit well with her fans. Simply put... Beyoncé's last album wasn't considered good enough for an award.

Jay-Z, that's embarrassing... stop your crying!

One of the constituents of nuclear fusion is helium-3. This material is rare on this planet, but apparently is abundant on the moon. Nuclear fusion is what makes the sun function. The challenge is to recreate this form of energy and in doing so, could produce a cleaner and environmentally friendly and constant source of power. Research is advancing on this energy, but you can understand why some countries find reaching the moon important. Mining for helium-3 is no doubt a big objective.

Like him or not, Micheal Cohen brought up some interesting discussion about how Trump could raise money to post bond for the New York civil fraud trial. Trump had claimed to have the cash. He doesn't or he would have posted bond and stop the accruing interest.
If he liquidates properties, it won't be soon and he will have to pay taxes on the long-term capital gains, as high as 40% and pay off mortgages too.
Chubb already fronted money for the defamation case against E. Jean Carroll. What corporation or billionaire will front him money knowing there's a chance it won't be repaid?

There's always a suspicion he will back channel money from a foreign government... Saudi or Russian. That would put him in a compromising position of favoritism should he make it to the White House. Other suspicions are he's holding on to some of the classified documents that could be a negotiating tool. Cohen states our national security is at risk.
As he says... it's No Joke.

Zeus is unique because he is the ruler, protector and father of all god's and humans.
Believing in one god is the same as believing in another. If you believe in Zeus, then it's the same as believing in Jehovah.

It's pretty unmistakeable who the liar is....

Yesterday, I deleted all the dating apps that I had on my phone, and cancelled the subscriptions. It's a money pit anyway, and I didn't really get any messages from people I matched with. One of the apps is set up, so the woman is the first to write. After 24 hours of no messages, the match expires.

I was on that app for quite a few months. I think for about a year. During that time, I had matched with five people, but no messages came after the match was mutual. Finally, I had had enough and cancelled the subscription, deleted my profile and the app itself from my phone.

The other one was a no match bonanza as well, so I threw in the towel and cancelled the subscription, deleted my profile and deleted the app as well.

I now only have two dating profiles. One on Facebook dating and this. I use this profile for the blogs, so technically it doesn't count. Will I be back on those apps again? No. Too much time and money wasted.

Today, I found a job posting for a warehouse job at a company that's literally in nerd heaven. They are looking for someone who has warehouse experience, and is familiar with picking and packing orders - which fits me well. Deadline for applications is tomorrow, so I have sent an application today. Hopefully I will hear back from them soon. If not, I'm just going to continue working where I currently work.

Fingers crossed.
