ME: Put this in a VCF and drop it into VCF-ICLOUD and VCF-GOOGLE with the “.vcf” extension
CLAUDIA: I don’t have a direct way to write into Google Contacts — there’s no Contacts API connector available here (only Drive, Calendar, and Gmail are connected), so I can’t push these VCFs in for you automatically.

Yeah, and AI is going to take over the world! Not yet, anyway, FMPOV.
Argh!

Had another instance of this today. Doctor’s practice has a web-based front end where you fill it all the forms. However, the HIPAA form doesn’t allow you to put in other people you want to have access to your medical records. I brought that to the attention of the receptionist and she said “Yep, we know, but it just can’t be done.”
As a fat old white guy injineer I find that INEXCUSABLE.
So the receptionist printed the blank form, I filled it out again with my wife’s name, the receptionist scanned it in, and who knows what she did with the paper.
So we waste paper, toner, and electrons. Not to mention the TAE (ie., time, attention, effort, and dikw).
Multiply that by every new patient!
What a waste. makes me wonder what else is ignored?

Remember those that the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats betrayed by leaving them behind!
“A veteran is someone who at one point in his life wrote a blank check made payable to the ‘United States of America’ for an amount of ‘up to and including my life.'” -Anonymous
“A soldier accepts personal responsibility for the safety of the body politic of which he is a member, defending it, if need be, with his life. The civilian does not.” — Lt. Col. Jean V. Dubois (Ret.) and student, p. 26 Starship Troopers (1959) by Robert A. Heinlein
The most significant item in the Quang report is the assertion that there were 1,205 American POWs in captivity that September. Six months later, Hanoi released 591 POWs, insisting they were the only prisoners alive at that time. If that was true and if the Quang report is accurate, more than 600 POWs must have died or been killed between the fall of 1972 and April 1, 1973. https://time.com/archive/6723016/american-pows-who-was-left-behind/
“I can’t promise you that I will bring you all home alive. But this I swear, before you and before Almighty God, that when we go into battle, I will be the first to set foot on the field, and I will be the last to step off, and I will leave no one behind. Dead or alive, we will all come home together. So help me, God.” — Mel Gibson playing Lt. Col. Hal Moore in “We Were Soldiers”
In the U.S. Armed Forces, we don’t leave anyone behind. It’s one of the basic pillars of what the Army calls the Warrior Ethos: “I will never leave a fallen comrade.” https://nation.time.com/2012/05/17/the-warrior-ethos-why-we-leave-no-one-behind/
We should add “BIA” (Betrayed In Action) to MIAs, POWs, KIAs, WIAs!

Before the POW/MIA flag flew over the White House or was recognized by Congress, it began with Mary Hoff—a military wife searching for answers after her husband was declared missing in Vietnam.
Her request helped create one of America’s most recognizable symbols and the four-word promise printed beneath it: YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN

And, of course, everyone “forgets”. Except for the vets and the families of all the KIAs, MIAs, POWs, and those who carry a lifetime of “scars”.
All the “chicken hawks” should be voted out of office. Any “Congress Critter” who votes for, or allows to happen, should be handed a rifle and sent to “the front” where ever it happens to be.
Argh!
Remember Heinlein’s Starship Troopers’ universe?
“One does not merely have the right to be a citizen and vote by virtue of what Heinlein called the mere accident of birth; rather, one has to earn this right through Federal Service that tested one’s ability and willingness to sacrifice for the greater good of the polity. “
Bet a lot of vets would NOT vote for all the undeclared wars the USA has been in since WW2?
I sure wouldn’t. Would you?
Argh!

Congress Gave Big Pharma Immunity. Vaccine Victims Got the Bill
The compensation system built to fail Americans
Dr. Robert W. Malone
Sep 12, 2026
*** begin quote ***
This is the story of a bargain Congress made with the American people in 1986 and quietly gutted in 2005. The original bargain was not perfect, but it recognized a basic moral fact: if government protects an industry by taking away an injured person’s ordinary right to sue, government assumes a corresponding duty to provide a fair and meaningful alternative. In 2005, Congress retained sweeping immunity for big pharma, while substituting a narrower, harsher, less transparent program effectively beyond the reach of any court. The manufacturers kept the protection. The injured were left to bear the loss.
*** end quote ***
Sorry, but how do “We, The Sheeple” hold the politicians and bureaucrats accountable for giving “us” “the short end of the stick”? Like the criminals they are, they hide their identities (often with out a recorded vote and all sorts of other subterfuges) and escape from the “crime scene” (i.e., Congress) with a pension, a bag of loot, and everything they can take including the kitchen sink if they can.
Where is the Vax Injured, their families, and the Tapayers’ hook to bring them back to face some sort of “justice”. If such is possible?
These are “honest mistakes” or “little white lies”, this is corruption, malfeasance, and deliberate criminal action.
Argh!

I’m surprised that people don’t kill themselves by accident.
Just the other day, I saw a pack of school kids on their scooters, with helmets, all looking at their screen while zipping along at about 20 miles per hour.
Lot of good this helmets will do when there is nothing Under them to protect.
Sigh!
Almost as bad as the drivers who are so engrossed in their screen that they completely miss the light from red to green and back to red. It’d never happen in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee.
Argh!

When I was watching the Thursday Night Game of the Week … …
… … many questions came to mind:
“watching 49/rams. too late for me.” Starts after 2030 Local and Halftime was after 2130. Past my bedtime!
They’re in Australia? It was a 10AM local game time. How did they get such a crowd on a week day work day morning?
Was it a ”Potemkin village” event — all show and no substance?
How much was subsidized by the Australian Taxpayer for commercials saying “Come Say G’Day”? What was the USA Taxpayers’ share — tax breaks, cash subsidies, special handling, “developmental loans” that never get paid back.
What incentives lured in a “enthusiastic sell out crowd”? Hired extras? Who paid for the garb, souvenirs, props?
I just wonder about the “whole show” and how much of it was staged?
I remember reading that the NFL lost its proverbial shirt on placing the games in Europe. Free tickets, paid attendees, carefully curated crowd shots, and all manner of other “marketing gimmicks”.
We have astroturf “citizens’ groups”. Why can’t we have astroturf “fans” too?
Argh!
Can’t trust anything anymore.
Couldn’t the whole thing be an AI video?

Jaspers, Family, and Friends,
We gather today in quiet reflection to honor all those profoundly affected by the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
With heartfelt solidarity, we extend our thoughts and prayers to the victims, their loved ones, and the courageous individuals who responded in the aftermath, many of whom still carry the weight of that day.
We also specifically remember the Manhattan University alumni whose lives were tragically lost on September 11, 2001, and whose legacy will forever remain a part of our community.

They say you can only read history when you’re down and out.
A dogma during my military service was “after action reports” and “lessons learned”.
What have we learned?
I’d assess it as “very little”.
Where does it stop?
IDK
Argh!

A MODEST PROPOSAL
A SATIRE, IN THE MANNER OF JONATHAN SWIFT, 1729.
Dr. Robert W. Malone
Sep 08, 2026
*** begin quote ***
On the sixth of September, in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, the Alternative for Germany received 43.8 percent of the vote. The governing Christian Democrats, who supply the Chancellor of the Federal Republic, received 17.2. The offending party took thirty-nine seats, and required forty-two, so that the Republic survives by three chairs and a coalition arithmetic problem.
I do not raise these numbers to alarm anyone. I raise them because they establish the difficulty precisely.
The voters of Saxony-Anhalt were informed in advance. The domestic intelligence service had classified the state branch as a confirmed right-wing extremist effort. The classification was published. The broadcasters carried it. The Chancellor spoke. Museum directors, grandmothers, and the whole civic apparatus of the Federal Republic marched, petitioned, and explained. The voters were told what the party was, and then they went out on a Sunday and voted for it by a margin of more than two to one over the government.
Here we arrive at the true nature of the emergency:
The instrument of democracy has been discovered in the hands of persons not qualified to operate it.
*** end quote ***
And there we have it. The “will of the people” is nullified. After all the propaganda deluge, Joe Six-Pack and Mary Ordinary-Woman show up at the polls and vote EXACTLY opposite to what “their betters” instructed them.
Can’t have that!
Watch as “the elite” (i.e., politicians, bureaucrats, “celebrities”, “influencers”, “presenters”, “commentators”, “talking heads”, and all the other paid mouthpieces of the regime) barf all over the results and try to dismiss “the lunacy”.
Argh!
“There is no better educational experience for a child than finding out what happens when you stick a butter knife into an electrical outlet.” — David Burge

“Elections have consequences.” Sometimes! When “the elite” get what they want. Argh!
