...Just sizing up the usual world news, and hearing about the death of that young student in Hong Kong. I'd like my fellowess/fellow CS folks to think a bit about all the stufff we place on line here,--- much of it harshly/truthfully political. My rants topping any list. Without naming any country, who doubts the list is long, of places where much of what we write here, could lead to jail terms,....or worse. Sure, even in the places we live in, ya shouldn't falsely shout "FIRE" in a crowded theater. But c'mon peebles, for most of us, and by many historical comparisons, we enjoy a huge dose of political/personal freedoms.

It's the weekend when most people have their days planned and their activities to dash to. If you are one of the unfortunate ones, your day is not anything to raise hopes about.

Do you have anxiety as you wait for the good news that what you need more than a miracle will happen today?

Did you have to hold your breath until someone left the house so that you could take a shower in privacy without hearing s*xual innuendos and being touched without your permission?

Was the air clear of bomb smoke and the land free of imminent threat where you live? Or do you stay in the shadows until safety is announced?

Did you have your positive thoughts ruined by someone with their verbal abuse and negativity and threats? What's the use?

Where did you have to go to find the nearest restroom without feeling indecent about it? Maybe you couldn't hold it long enough and now have to hide from prying eyes to get somewhere to change clothes.

Was your depression so bad that your thoughts lingered all day about committing suicide? You had to stay busy and find ways to take your mind to another place. It was extremely hard and you struggled to figure out what you had to live for.

Did your friends beg you to come to a party that you weren't invited to and secretly wished they would leave you alone? How can I smile and pretend to feel something I don't?

Is there food in your cabinets and refrigerator or did you have to steal it to keep from starving and try not to get caught and killed?

Did you wake up so cold and hurting that you would give anything to throw yourself into a fire just to feel warm again? Or did you have to settle for a few rays of sunlight?

Stop. Be more than grateful. Try to make a difference in someone's life today.

I DARE YOU!

Civil humans navigate existence scaredly
the less than live nefariously
Moral people desire meaningful life
alleged almighty deemed 'Evil be rife'

Faith based folks represent the majority
the ill-informed defy authority
So-called Cancel Culture snuffing history
stoking current uprising no mystery

Colleges are brainwashing our young
leftist professors preach false dung
Patriotic Americans begrudgingly sacrifice
eventually reaching "f*ck BN Nice"

Unarmed black men being sought
another blatant lie long taught
Bitching and moaning full-time
cry injustice while perpetrating crime

Defund Police latest insane rant
capitulate to extremist we can't
Soros instructs these clueless fools
protesters succumb to mob rules

Dethrone Trump whatever it takes
politicians the slimiest of snakes
American sovereignty under attack
you're Racist if not black

Yesterday in The Huffington Post;



Hopefully the hate on here by Trump's supporters will also be more closely modulated. It's time for change to a society, more accepting of cultural differences & ethnicities, and less accepting of hate, trolling & racial discrimination.

In a British tabloid interview this past weekend, Ghislaine Maxwell said she is surprised Donald Trump remembered her.
Think about that for a moment. All of them lived and partied in Palm Beach.

It wasn't that long ago to have forgotten, was it?





Note: it's not the same red tie!

So, a man follows an underage waitress into the bathroom, exposes himself and sexually gropes her AT HIS WEDDING RECEPTION and no, it wasn't the bride.

Well, you can't say, that he didn't make the night memorable.

From FOX news (and checked with other more reliable news sources too)



Quite a catch for the bride.
One can only imagine when his next cheating adventure will happen.
And no, the bride's name is not Melania.

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

I have a gaggle of those two foot tall nifty lawn jockeys. Adorable. The heavy cement ones with black riding cap, high boots and button britches, and shiny red jackets. Cute as buttons, all could easily be the very sons of Auntie Jemima herself. Not the new PC lady, but that formidable smiling original matriarch, covering the older real glass maple sirple bottles. Solidly within my first amendment rights to own, as they are for my posting of them here, the Blacks in my extended family love them, and made me promise never to let them go, or to set them free, as it were. Alas, over time, cracks began to show, and I had thoughts of taking them to the dump, not knowing how much people pay for them these days. All the alt liberal women in my immediate family hate them, and keep threatening to make the trip themselves, perhaps while I'm in Portugal, but I digress. Well, they always bring up lively conversation, when passers by see me use them to surround campaign signs for McCain, Bush or the Donald. But over time, most of the whips have broken off, and I thought of that final trip, to the promised land, which still hasn't happened. This was all well before CS, and my realization of how much I could use them to bolster the self image of our liberal friends hereabouts. So I post of these little gems, fully aware of how, at my expense, the alt lib losers/Bernie addicts here will instantly begin to steam, around the collar. The raceosexo-phoboradar units will set off all alarms, and we'll soon see it here, laced with hate speech. But it's all merely to let them feel righteously morally superior to me, and to others. My endless humanity. How I suffer for my loving compassion.

....well, it is a thing to ponder. Lots of examples, sadly, quite in the other direction, no? Often based on religion, power, money, sex, we look at such. with disappointment. The Crusades, the NAZI's, Communism, the great war, the Pope's inquisition, gay men wantonly spreading HIV-AIDS to normal innocents, a certain political party keeping the KKK and Jim Crow going, not to mention lynching. Even African tribal chiefs rounding up their own war slaves to enable the filling of the plantation bound slave ships. Yes, pretty grim indeed. But we must not forget the other side of things, often occurring in times of turmoil and danger. So we see the English and German soldiers football fraternizing in no person's land at Christmas, early in the great war. How some villages self isolated during the Black death plague, apparently a great sacrifice. The concealment and rescue of Jews-and others, during the German Third Reich. Passing out food and warm clothes to US hobos near freight train camps during the great depression. Many more examples. So, there is a tendency for humans to rally in goodness during these difficult times. Does beg the question, with the current great powers at each other's throats, how will humanity react with a threat that makes any pandemic seem like a walk in the park. Try a 10 KM diameter asteroid honing in on us all. Less than ideal such cooperation to the claims of climate changes. But this is partly due to the documented liberal bias faking of science early on, and to the activists assuming near religious behaviors, quite closed mindedly, abetted by biases in media pundits and editors. It seems that we can all rally, but only under some circumstances. Rigid thinking often seems to be a major enemy.

Here's the situation with Covid-19:

Every single school is closing for 2 weeks
All government employees in non-critical functions are being sent home
Families are urged to keep their kids home, starting tomorrow
Two people in critical condition due to Covid-19
All gatherings of 100 people or more are being discouraged
514 infected people
The strategy, about who is being tested, is changed
The Foreign State department has adapted their travel guides.

So this is essentially a 2 week lockdown of Denmark. Will this stop the spread of the virus? Who knows!
