To add to the world-wide calaminity of the COVID19 Pandemic of 2020, we now have worldwide demonstrations. Realizing there is no ‘good time’ for having a demonstration on matters that we are dealing with [or have failed to] throughout history, it just seems like the picture below [from Paris, today] are so twistedly bad under the grip of a 100-year pandemic. The clash of these two events in the world’s history just shows you how messed up 2020 has been. And we’re not even halfway through.
We all know Trump just gets out of hand with his tweets – it’s like nothing in history. Last night’s, though, not only pissed off the sports world – but showed poor judgement with timing in the political world.
So the White House had a security breach the other day, where a guy jumped the perimeter fence and made it all the way into the front door.
Tina and I were talking about this tonight before dinner … and she had a brilliant -yet simple- solution for the President: “Why don’t they just lock the door?”
I laughed when she said it, but you know … it’s a pretty simple solution, really.
Sobering development, frankly, by the Chinese in regards to this ridiculous government shut-down here in the US. With the amount of our money they own and the amount of power they have, we don’t want to be messing with these guys long-term.
First – they are right. This is ridiculous. Bravado or Progress? I’m no politician – but I do know business. People who “make things happen” don’t fart around like these idiots in DC – you find a way to make it work, and together. Politicians, government employees – all people on the public dime – just don’t get it. Don’t care, don’t want to. Just work as little as possible, collect the check, get the benefits, then retire with full pensions. This crap simply does not fly in the private sector. If my CEO or any board members acted like this, they would all be out the door on their asses. Seriously. And no “pension” (seriously, pensions? What – is this 1954?).
Second – let’s not stir up things with China. NOT a good move.
These guys in the East love burning effigies – I get it. But it seems they are running out of quality material, don’t you think (yes, that’s a pic of a drone)?
As a matter of fact, an “Effigy” is strictly defined as “a representation of a person, especially in the form of sculpture or some other three-dimensional form.” Don’t ask me where I got the pic, by the way. I took a screen shot of it on my tablet while reading the news in bed the other night because I found it so silly – but I can’t make this crap up.
From a group of guys who take things so literally, you’d think they’d work more aggressively at recruiting someone who is really good at paper machete or scale model design.
Okay. Really? This is the best these guys can do with their effigy of Obama?
size of head is wrong
he’s wearing a tie, with a blue-jean jacket
pants clash with the flag
at least cut him out so it doesn’t look like you took the picture out of Time Magazine
a little effort here, guys!
Background here – these guys are rabid because the Quran was burned. There are actually people dying there as a result of these scenes.
I don’t think I will ever truly understand theism, let alone all the fundamentalists in this world. People can believe what they choose – but this just seems way over the top to me.
So we have another Governor of Texas running for President … who is apparently more steadfast on Creationism than his counterpart in Utah, of all people.
