I'm reading a story tonight that states a Florida lawmaker is introducing an amendment that would allow Governor Ron DeSantis to run for president of the United States and not have to resign his position as governor of Florida.
Isn't that a case of having your cake and eating it too!
Currently, any politician holding office who decides to run for president must resign that position. My guess is it's because you're out on the campaign trail day and night and not at your office serving the people who voted you there.

So, the 'strike-all' amendment was filed earlier today by Republican senator Travis Hutson, whom DeSantis endorsed last year.

If passed, that assures DeSantis can hold on to his position of Florida's governor and be allowed to campaign should he decide to run for president in 2024 and not get the party's nomination and win the election. Sound right?

My, my Ron... what perfect timing you have.

Always the reader comments are classic:
Richard:
"What good is a law when you can change it on a whim? Would they do that if a Democrat was governor? When you have a body that will change laws to placate one person you aren't far from a dictatorship."

Scott:
"GOP gamesmanship: If you can't win with the cards you're dealt, stack the deck."

Stephen:
"Is he getting a state salary while out politicking???"

AB:
"Also known as the "I don't have a lot of confidence in my chances to win the Presidential election, so I want to keep my old job just in case" bill."

Mystery Team:
"I think the books covering Florida Law have tripled in volume since this guy took office. So much for smaller government."

E. Jean Carroll won her defamation suit against Donald J. Trump where the court ordered him to pay nearly $5 million. During the trial he was posting offensive comments about the woman despite the judges warning. My opinion, was the judge should have given a demand and not a request. That way, he could have been found in contempt and a night in jail would have been a clear message... they could have picked him up at the airport on his return from his Scottish golfing trip.

Right after the court decision, like nothing happened, he again defamed Carroll in a televised town meeting and again after in a rally. Obviously, he hasn't learned to STFU and on Monday, Carroll's lawyers amended the lawsuit, seeking at least $10 million more in a court filing that seeks to hold him liable for additional remarks he made after the verdict.

How many more times...

My neighbor is in her 80's and her son living with her is in his 60's. Originally from New Jersey, they would spend winters in Florida and summers at home. COVID changed their schedule and it looks like they are going to be here year-round.
I've only seen her 3 times and one of those times, paramedics had to escort her to emergency. Her son rarely comes out too. Usually, to check mail or to get groceries. He doesn't go far as he carries oxygen, usually by a portable machine slung over his shoulder with a nasal cannula and short tubing.
I know when they are up as I hear them 'bumbling around' as early as 5am. Banging doors or walls loud enough to wake me from a sound sleep. Usually, breakfast is around 7am. I know this as I can hear them scooting their wooden chairs on the tile floor. The chair dragging is intermittent, but it actually goes on all day. Sometimes, it sounds like they are rearranging furniture and pushing the dining table back and forth a few feet.
If you have experienc dragging a chair to the table in a few 'short bursts' you probably know the sound I'm describing.

I consulted a friend about offering them some self-adhesive felt pads they could stick on the bottom of the chair legs, but I'm told that's a bad idea and I sold just tolerate the dragging noises... at least I know they are alive!

The soul-stealing city
The story says that a boy / man ventured on a journey to a new world, unknown to him. And when he arrived there, in a dark city, he got out of the carriage, and the visitor offered him a lighted candle, and told him that the place where he was now was very dangerous, and that it was nicknamed The soul-stealing city. He also told him that whatever he does, he should not take his eyes off the lit candle and not let it go out under any circumstances. But also that the candle could burn forever, as long as he did not divert his attention from it. Our young man nodded, as if he understood, took a few steps on the strange and dark streets, after which the Carriage with which he had come left in a hurry. Shortly after, our young man found a newspaper on the ground near a puddle, he bent down and picked it up, distracting himself from the ever-burning candle, a few moments later with the newspaper in one hand and the candle still burning in the other, the young man began to roam the streets, not knowing that his soul had been kidnapped and remained stuck in that place where he had bent down for that newspaper, meant to distract our young man's attention. While he is leaving, the darkness will settle in that place, and shortly after, a bolt of lightning from the sky illuminates the streets, the light that makes it possible to see the imprisoned and frightened soul of our young man. The story does not end here, it continues, but I think I will write the continuation in the 2nd part.

What was it, last week when Donald J. Trump attended the CNN Town Hall meeting and stated he was allowed to take classified documents when leaving the White House?
Apparently, that wasn't a good thing as his lawyer Tim Parlatore, announced a few days later that he's leaving the team.
Trump remains under federal investigation for mishandling classified documents as he left the White House in January 2021.
Personally, I think they are dragging this out...
How much more proof is the government looking for?


I'm curious if Parlatore will get paid for his services.

In an area where Connecting Singles is firmly anchored, it may be easier to find a decent match and a date if it works out. Men outnumber women among CS members. For both gender you may find a lot of inactive members. That narrows down your choice, but also the 'competition'.

I have checked the number of male CS members between 40 and 50 in different countries in the EU and in the UK. Ladies, here we go.

In my native Belgium you find 1112 men in the target age range for a total population (both gender all ages) of 11.6 Million. (Those 1112 men don't include me, since I 'm way over 50.)

In the Netherlands, CS counts 923 men in the target range for a population of 17.5 M.

In France you find that same number of 923 men, yet more thinly spread among a total population of 67.9 M.

In Germany CS counts 1499 men aged 40 to 50 range among a population of 84.3 M.

In Sweden CS counts 1024 men in the target age range for a population of 10.4 M.

Italy counts 1130 male CS members in that age range for a population of 58.9 M.

In Spain you may find 930 men in the target age range for a population of 47.6 M.

In the UK you find 6224 blokes between 40 and 50 for a population of 67.3 M. Greater London and Northern Ireland are slightly overrepresented.

That brings us seamlessly to the Irish Republic where we find 5716 blokes between 40 and 50 for a total population just north of 5 M. That dwarfs the UK market share and it comes even close in absolute numbers.

Some more small EU member states now: Malta is topping the CS market share billboard with 1775 male members in the target age range for a population of barely 518.500.
No more chance for Cyprus to do better. But with a total number of 680 CS men between 40 and 50 for a population of 1.25 M, their CS market share nevertheless eclipses that of the UK.
Forget about Luxemburg where CS narrowed down your choice to only 78 men for a population of 640.000.

Note: Last year, I have published a similar blog : "CS market share in different EU countries" for men looking for a lady aged 40 or above:

I had a interesting day starting at 5am and back to back meetings. I'm getting 2 of my clients complaints about some new system of electronically signing documents. My statement to management is START WITH THE NEW ORDERS and not penalize the orders already in house as it's bumping them to the back of the priority list.

For a few weeks, I worked with a general contractor doing a total house renovation and though I stressed for him to approve the details of my sales drawings, they go to engineering/design to make the actual shop drawings the factory builds from. He was obsessing for every little detail that cost a few weeks 'dotting all the i's and crossing all the T's.' The job is an hour drive from me, but I pushed every facet of the sale. I made a special trip to pick up the deposit check I made a special trip to drop off samples for the homeowner to approve. I had a sample door made for them and drove it down the same day it was painted (wrapped in a towel and put in a box, I was on the highway with the windows open a few times to keep the paint fumes from knocking me out) for special approval. At least 3 back and forth messages to tweak drawings.
I got annoyed as the office cannot put his order into production because he questioned the temperature of the lighting. We used to do 3,000K and switched to a brighter 4,000K. He want's 3,000K to match the lighting in the house.
"Put the order into production, there's no reason ho hold it for a change in light color"
I got a message to review the new drawings with a color of lighting change this afternoon. Nap time came around 5:30 so I'll check the drawing later tonight.
It would appear the 6 to 8 weeks delivery will now be about 14 weeks.

Order processing delays will be my topic of discussion in the sales meeting tomorrow morning!

Background for the reason of my blog title and for those of you who don't speak Spanish. I learned the phrase about 45 years ago as a draftsman where all my coworkers were Hispanic. I was the only Gringo in the drafting department and picked up a few phrases along the way. Yo no soy bobo means, I'm not stupid.

Before logging in tonight, I scanned the new members list to see a woman who could easily qualify for the most beautiful new CS member. I won't give out her name and location, but her photo referenced to an Instagram profile of a woman originally from Venezuela that linked to a TikTok page where she uses her real name with the prefix Yo Soy (first name, last name)
Yo soy translates to "I am"

Wow... is it possible a REAL person is a new member on CS?

We get transmissions through a biological transmitter...our brain.

Through time, our creators made a deal with a universal confederation.

....giving us a soul and us the right to use our free will.


and to take it one step further...

What happens if this contract is running out, as our new model replacements begin to move in.


Perhaps a war between good and evil will ensue.

The good....the universal confederation
The evil...our creators who no longer need us.



Who would be the best to manipulate a mass of people, know us better than we know ourselves.....
But, there is love out there...but we must freely accept it and be it.

Perhaps with our freewill, we are judged to whether or not we are worthy of a soul.
