Men Blogs (29,411)

I did a blog last year about Georgia representative, Marjorie Taylor Greene being swatted several times. The term swatting refers to someone anonymously calling the police to falsely report trouble at a persons house. The police rush out to find there is no emergency.

I'm adding two more to the list of government employees who have recently been victims of swatting. Special counsel Jack Smith, who is overseeing the prosecution of former president Donald Trump in two federal cases and Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing the federal election interference case against former president Trump.

No arrests have been made in connection with these recent incidents, however last year, in August, Chutkan received a death threat via voice message and police were able to trace that to a 43 year old Texas woman who was arrested.

Every year, I tell my family not to get me anything for Christmas. They all develop selective hearing loss and get me something. This year, I received a small and simple gift that I will often use.
It's called GUARD YOURID.
My trash goes in a community dumpster, boxes into recycle bins. If you are like me, You'll probably peel off the labels bearing your name and address. If you cannot remove the label, covering the information with a marking pen is the next option.

This device looks like a date stamper with a roller wheel on the bottom. What it does is roll over a band of black ink quickly creating a security block to the information you want to cover.



Awesome

Let's start off with one from the Sixties.

For this past Sunday mornings I've been hugging and kissing a older female from my Unitarian-Universalist congregation in Pittsburgh,Pa, who I met face to face in person(not online); while sitting next to her in the pews during worship she gives me a cough drop.

Today pakistan is being ruled by caretaker governments at both the federal level and provincial level. These administrations are constitutionally illegal because elections were not held within 90 days of parliamentary assemblies being dissolved.

The public is hearing that elections will supposedly be held on February 8th. But having been denied the same in two provinces, Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, over the past year—despite a Supreme Court order last March that those votes should be held within three months—they are right to be sceptical about whether the national vote will take place.

The country’s election commission has been tainted by its bizarre actions. Not only has it defied the top court but it has also rejected my Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (pti) party’s nominations for first-choice candidates, hindered the party’s internal elections and launched contempt cases against me and other pti leaders for simply criticising the commission.

Whether elections happen or not, the manner in which I and my party have been targeted since a farcical vote of no confidence in April 2022 has made one thing clear: the establishment—the army, security agencies and the civil bureaucracy—is not prepared to provide any playing field at all, let alone a level one, for pti.

It was, after all, the establishment that engineered our removal from government under pressure from America, which was becoming agitated with my push for an independent foreign policy and my refusal to provide bases for its armed forces. I was categorical that we would be a friend to all but would not be anyone’s proxy for wars. I did not come to this view lightly. It was shaped by the huge losses Pakistan had incurred collaborating with America’s “war on terror”, not least the 80,000 Pakistani lives lost.

In March 2022 an official from America’s State Department met Pakistan’s then ambassador in Washington, dc. After that meeting the ambassador sent a cipher message to my government. I later saw the message, via the then foreign minister, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, and it was subsequently read out in cabinet.

In view of what the cipher message said, I believe that the American official’s message was to the effect of: pull the plug on Imran Khan’s prime ministership through a vote of no confidence, or else. Within weeks our government was toppled and I discovered that Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, General Qamar Javed Bajwa, had, through the security agencies, been working on our allies and parliamentary backbenchers for several months to move against us.

A quote from the top of the blog page:




A Blog is a journal you may enter about your life, thoughts, interesting experiences, or lessons you've learned.
I do, but some people complain about that.

Post an opinion, impart words of wisdom, or talk about something interesting in your day.
I do, but some people complain about that.

Update your blog on a regular basis, or just whenever you have something to say.
I do, but some people complain about that.

Creating a blog is a good way to share something of yourself with others.
It would appear that way on the surface. Should I go into detail of how people misinterpret what I say, gossip about me, copy or mock my comments in spinoff blogs?

Side note:
One of the biggest complaints about dating sites is the amount of scammers. I spend a few hours each week carefully researching bogus profiles FOR FREE and have been happy to have quietly rid CS of more than 1,000 fakes last year, yet one member here repeatedly has to make negative comments about it to others. In layman's terms WTF is wrong with you people?

Not to worry Trump fans ...this page will cut both ways .

Mustache also spelled moustache refers to facial hair under the nose. I've used some language translators that have fewer words (than English) to describe facial hair. Beard, long sideburns, mutton chops, goatee and mustache all get grouped together. The same thing happens to gnat and mosquito where other languages call any 'tiny flying bug' a mosquito, but this blog is about mustaches.

I started facial hair growth in the 1970's around the time guitarist Ted Nugent released his album Survival Of The Fittest where he hadn't shaved in a few weeks. I tried the look, but that got shaved off as it really wasn't my style. In the 80's, my wife asked me to grow a mustache and it had the vertical strips like Glen Frey of The Eagles. Trimming it back to a normal length, the mustache has always remained and I often think there will be a day when I shave it off completely.

Going through old photos I found one of an uncle who had what many Italians refer to as a Mafioso mustache. It's a trimmed growth probably 5-6 millimeters (1/4") in width along the upper lip.

Certainly, if I lose my mind (and trademark mustache) and decide to shave it off, I'll buy an electric razor and document the event with photos... there will be the phase of Mafioso 'pencil thin' mustache before it all comes off!




Who knows, I may decide to keep it that way...

DISCLAIMER for those who don't actually read my blog and assume the guy in the photo is me. It's a nameless person who's photo came up on a Google search of mustaches.
