Kenya is a hotbed in the $1 billion global contract cheating industry

Wednesday, February 5, 2020

Lancaster began studying contract cheating more than a decade ago when he noticed one of his own students posting assignments online. “I found one of my students who was putting up my assignment up for tender on an internet site. So, people were bidding different amounts of money to complete that computer programming assignment,” he said.

I wish this was available when I went to injineering skrule.  I hated “wasting time” on theology papers and listening to my sainted future wife gripe about my spelling in the drafts.  Laugh!

I guess it made me a better person since I still remember “Danny Lou” and “The Ways to love God”.  It didn’t take, but then I’m not sure it didn’t make me the cynic I am today.

Billionaire Steve Cohen’s bid to buy Mets is on life support

Wednesday, February 5, 2020

While the deal with Cohen seems perilously close to being dead, one source familiar with Cohen from the hedge fund world cautioned, “This is Steve Cohen, so this might be a negotiation. The Wilpons need this more than he does and no one is going to pay more.”

Bread and Circuses that distract “We, The Sheeple” from how they are being screwed.

Bloomberg’s Super Bowl ad called ‘wildly misleading’, NRA says it left out ‘salient facts’

Monday, February 3, 2020

Screen shot form Bloomberg’s controversial Super Bowl ad Democrat presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg’s $10 million anti-gun ad that aired during the Super Bowl made false claims about child gun deaths and falsely suggested that the victim highlighted in the commercial was a child when he was tragically killed.

Source: Bloomberg’s Super Bowl ad called ‘wildly misleading’, NRA says it left out ‘salient facts’

*** begin quote ***

The one-minute ad features Calandrian Simpson Kemp talking about the loss of her son, George Kemp, who was killed in a shooting in 2013. It showed childhood pictures of him, but none of him as the 20-year-old adult he was at the time he was killed during a gang fight.

*** end quote ***

I saw that commercial and just knew it was slanted.

Like the Trevon Martin coverage, the deceased is “spiffed up” for public consumption.

No one feel that every human death is in some way a “tragedy”.  One can’t be pro-life and not be frustrated by Gooferment policies that make unnecessary deaths a plague on the nation.

In this case, Bloomberg supports the “(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs”.  Just like (alcohol) Prohibition, it led to gang warfare with  killings.  Why anyone is surprised that the “drug” gangs are killing each other?

End the “(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs” and you won’t have a gun problem.  Just like Coke and Pepsi don’t shoot it out over shelf space, neither will the “drug gangs”.  (What does an out of work drug kingpin do?)

In fact let’s turn Walmart, Amazon, Walgreens, CVS, and your local pharmacist on the problem. “Illegal” drugs will be so cheap that no one will care.

And, all the money being wasted by the police, judicial system, and the prison system can be redirected to treatment.  After all, it is a medical problem.

For The First Time Ever, A Majority Of The World’s Population Is Dissatisfied With Democracy | Zero Hedge

Monday, February 3, 2020

What will happen when a majority of citizens in the world’s leading democracy, its largest economy, and mightiest military, lose faith in its very foundation?

Secession?

Breaking the large unwieldy body politic into smaller fragments will cut down on the “one size fits all” solutions that make no one happy.

Look at the USSR as a prime example.

The unfunded debts of all levels of the USA’s Gooferments — federal, state, local, territories, and NGOs — will break when the spend thrifts need to be bailed out.

Argh!

Happy palindrome day

Sunday, February 2, 2020

Tomorrow’s date will be written as an eight-digit palindrome around the world , the first time this has happened in 900 years. The coincidence is rare because countries use differing conventions. February 2, 2020, is a palindrome whether expressed as day/month/year (02/02/2020), month/day/year (02/02/2020), or year/month/day (2020/02/02).

The 17th Amendment changed Senate seats from being appointments to elected offices, but there is not currently a process showing a constitutional way to recall federally elected officials.

Time to repeal the 17th and put the States back in their proper Constitutional role.

This would END federal unfunded mandates.
