If BY RUDYARD KIPLING
(‘Brother Square-Toes’—Rewards and Fairies)

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son.

U.S.—In a gesture meant to call people to action on climate change and the environment, Al Gore took to the skies in a private jet to write "Save the Planet" in the sky, sources confirmed Monday.



Gore flew from coast to coast and wrote the message in the sky above dozens of metropolitan areas in a courageous move to ask people to stop burning jet fuels, gasoline, and other carbon-emitting products.



"I just want to call everybody else---not me, of course, but the rest of the country---to take action before it's too late," Gore said of the message he wrote in the sky above the nation. "And the best way to do that is with a big message in the sky in this luxury jet."

"Hello, commoners!" an excited Gore said as he waved at the window at all the tiny people he condemns for flying commercial once in a while and running their air conditioners when it gets really hot.

At publishing time, Gore had confirmed he was having a new mansion built---one that spells out "Save the earth!" when viewed from the sky.

Last night I saw a forum post (that has now been deleted by the moderator) where someone complained about websites actually following up on their rules/policies. Twitter was one example. They choose to place warnings when users post/tweet questionable information and in many cases, accounts have been closed. It's against their TOS, Terms Of Service that simply means it's their site and you have to abide by their rules.

Note: that's the box you clicked (and didn't read the TOS) just to get to use their site.

The member construed it was censorship and stated comparisons to socialism, communism, fascism.

Censorship is different. For example... if you were 10 years old and said "Shit" around your parents... expect to be punished. If you complained to your parents and called them communists, expect more severe punishment.

Sometimes I'm glad we live in a socialist society.

In an email to CNN employees, CNN head, “Dwarf King,” and puppetmaster Jeff Zucker announced the decision, citing a “steep decline in airport traffic because of COVID-19, coupled with all the new ways that people are consuming content on their personal devices.”

Therefore, Zucker added, there’s less of a “need for the CNN Airport Network.” As an aside, there’s a question that has to be asked: Was it ever necessary to begin with?

Zucker’s e-mail made it seem like this was the passing of a dear family member:

Having to say goodbye to such a beloved brand is not easy...It also became an iconic part of the traveling experience in this country.

I am sure most of us have a story to tell about which airport we were at when we first learned of a major news event. Be proud that we had a hand in sharing some incredible stories with many millions of people over the past three decades.

Imagine being that broken up about the end of a near-monopoly on airport TVs that, as many have liked to joke over the years, must have inflated CNN’s viewership.

i cannot believe the stupidity of the human race!!!!! why are people still able to travel from country too country for no good reason at this time, people holidaying around the planet????? youtube trivia makers still appear to be roaming the globe somehow. making content that matters ZERO other than them being in the spotlight for 10 minutes of fame. world leaders need to shut the economic shit show down RIGHT NOW. this thing is mutating and cannot be controlled yet> Japan is in the latest news . a country with lots of obedient citizens and a true wanting for pushing forward(dont know about their millenials attitude) 55% of their country affected somehow. The world leaders need to wake the f*ck up now !!!! it is already nearly to late. we are killing the planet and the planet is fighting back!!!!! we are a guest at mother natures will . Mothefr nature is fighting the human race because it f*ckED UP. we have no respect for eachohter or the dirt we walk on , DOOMED!!!! Thats my 2cents worth and who cares ?????? NOBODY!!!!!

After long enough of being alone
Everyone must face their share of loneliness
In my own time nobody knew
The pain I was goin' through
And waitin' was all my heart could do

Hope was all I had until you came
Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me
You were the dawn breaking the night
The promise of morning light
Filling the world surrounding me
When I hold you

Baby, baby, feels like maybe, things will be all right
Baby, baby, your love's made me

Free as a song, singin' forever

Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me
Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away
Only yesterday

I have found my home here in your arms
Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be
Life waits for us, share it with me
The best is about to be
So much is left for us to see
When I hold you

Baby, baby, feels like maybe, things will be all right

Baby, baby, your love's made me
Free as a song, singin' forever

Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me
Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away
Only yesterday

Hello everyone. Hope you're well during this global lockdown. I think it's PLANDEMIC because of some observed circumstances.

January , I went to visit a friend in Thailand. I was surprised to see a huge box of face masks at the counter of FamilyMart located near the lobby of a popular hotel where there's no hospital nearby. In Manila where I have reunion with my American relatives, taxi drivers told me about an epidemic in China that they avoid Chinese tourists. It's known before the country's New Year, 5,000 Chinese from from Wuhan were allowed to travel around the world. The first death outside mainland China was in a Philippine hospital.
Local journalists and whistleblowers vanished
and the government is silent over disappearances.

Although WHO was informed, the crisis was not addressed
punctually ( waiting for China's instruction?)!
How do we know if China pays these big bosses of world organizations? Wuhan was granted 3.7 million dollars ( research and bio engineering of a virus?) through Dr. Fauci during Obama era and in 1917 he stated " a challenge on infectious disease... there will be a surprise outbreak "! So this was forseeable 'coz they were making virus? Take note of the last US-China Trade Deal signed last year, there's this clause that if there's a kind of pandemic, they will not honor the country's commitment.

This is more difficult than war because the perpetrators hide and we don't see the weapon they use. The one who spreads fear have power and ignorance is best for these evil tyrants to succeed. So good results for them would be mandatory implanted microchips in the skin to access not just info on the compulsory vaccination every year but also all elements to control us. These immunizations may make us weaker and dumb to think and protest against the New World Order agenda. Everybody will be busy listening and following their propaganda. Capitalism could be abolished and no democracy, freedom, democracy or liberty for anyone. Remember head of organisations and past presidents mentioned New World Order. One can read books on NWO, it's not a conspiracy theory.

But still of course, we hope for the best. Stay strong and safe. Love and light to everyone.

... Looks good, VERY good, for the GOP candidates in the Geogia US Senate races. Way too soon to call the Presidential erection yet, VERY way.
But in the worst case scenario, President Red Knees Chameleon Harris will get even less done than the Affirnative Action half Negro POTUS, and that's saying a bundle.
Tootles, all.
