RANT: Required DNA testing

Thursday, July 21, 2016

After hearing so many “false father” claims, I think that Courts should REQUIRE DNA proof of parenthood before ordering child support. After all isn’t that the “best evidence” available. DNA parental testing is available in any drugstore for about 100$. And, all we have for a “birth certificate” is the memorialization of what two people think is the truth. Need real evidence before society places a lifetime burden on men. (A woman physically having the baby is prima facie evidence, but look how many switched at birth case we heard about.

So mandatory DNA testing for all hearings about children!

RANT: The wrong questions — always the wrong questions

The Unasked Questions
By Butler Shaffer
July 16, 2016

*** begin quote ***

If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about answers.
 – Thomas Pynchon

Human understanding is premised upon a continuing refinement in the quality of questions we bring to any subject matter. If our distant ancestors knew little more about their physical world than the proposition that “some things fall and hurt us,” their ability to safely function in the world might have been insufficient to sustain their lives. After centuries of trying to explain such occurrences by reciting such maxims as that things fall to their natural level in the world, our ancestors became better informed by Newton’s understanding of gravity and principles of motion. His views – like the more sophisticated opinions that followed from other scientists – emerged not from the recitation of other men’s answers, but from the formulation of more complex questions.

*** end quote ***

Argh!

How do we get society asking the RIGHT questions?

What is right question?

It’s the all about the proper role of Gooferment versus government!

If you’re a little L libertarian, government is “your nightwatchman”. Anything else, it’s someplace between the national “mother” and “father”.

Argh!

We Can’t Afford To Cure Cancer
By Bill Sardi
June 7, 2016

*** begin quote ***

Someone has said there are just too many jobs in the pursuit of a cancer cure to allow any therapy to be proven and put into practice.  Recognize the nation is dotted with cancer research centers that hold billions of dollars of debt.  For example, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington holds $176 million of debt.  [Moody’s Investor Service] Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, the nation’s cancer research center, holds $1.9 billion of debt.  [Moody’s Investor Service]  A cancer cure would leave research centers like these on the hook for loans that could not possibly be paid back. 

*** end quote ***

It’s a scary and cynical.

But one must be always suspect the monetary motives.

Unfortunately we can’t overlook the example of “March of Dimes”.

They set out to cure polio. And they did it. Or at least, Sabin and Salk did. 

Then they “retargeted” to “birth defects”.

Never have to worry about going out of business again.

RANT: Found something worse than TSA, Mexican Immigration, USA Customs, and USA Immigration

Tuesday, May 24, 2016

Went to Cancun, actually Playa Del Carmen, from EWR.

TSA 15 minute wait. Everyone was pleasant and efficient.

Mexican Immigration 5 minute wait. Everyone was pleasant and efficient.

Coming home, ditto. Couldn’t have been better.

However the private free market screwed up royally.

Have Lomas Travel for the transfer from Cancun to the hotel. Waited in the sun 90 minutes while they fumbled and bumbled to arrange a ride. Argh!

Arrives at the Hotel (Sandos Playa something). Waited 30 minutes to check in. I was next in line the whole time. There were three clerks checking in: one couple, one trio, and one quartet. In that 30 minutes, the mob gathered. There was no line aka queue. No one much gave a <synonym for excrement>. Argh!

I have some other rants about the hotel — like they don’t give you a map of the property — or explain that the internal shuttle stops running at 11PM and it’s a big place — the room arragnements for the group were screwed up for everyone . But those were minor in comparison.

Argh!

The Benefits of Global Warming
By Butler Shaffer
May 21, 2016

*** begin quote ***

Religious dogmas can find their roots in scientific as well as theological thinking. Questioning either the “intelligent design” or “big bang” explanations for the origins of the universe can evoke angry responses from true-believers on either side of the issue. In the case of the High-Church Warmingists, a verifiable fact (i.e., increased temperature) is merged with an empirically unfounded assertion (i.e., human activity is the causal explanation) to provide true believers the rationale for their rule over mankind. Those who deny this article of faith are targeted for dismissal in academia and even televised weather shows.

*** end quote ***

It’s all about the “rule over mankind”.

Like the “High Priests” of old, it’s nice to have job where you don’t sweat and live high on the hog.

Of course, those who live too high on the hog at the expense of the rabble, soon find themselves on the guillotine.

Wonder when the rabble will revolt against the Hollywood “stars”, politicians, and bureaucrats?

RANT: Anyone following the “news”?

Wednesday, May 18, 2016

Seems like a lot of folks are registering to vote in New Jersey or switching parties.

Could this be the “groundswell” of all those people who never vote?

That could change the whole electoral political landscape.

I think it may be the Libertains time.

Fiscally conservative with very small Gooferment and a classical liberal approach to social issues (i.e., myob).

If the USA survives, like the USSR, “big” is bad.

Why is Tax Day April 18?

The regular tax return filing deadline is April 15. However, due to the Washington D.C. Emancipation Day holiday being observed on April 15 instead of April 16, 2016, Tax Day is on the following Monday.

RANT: Comcast and the Yankees

Wednesday, April 13, 2016

Interesting that:

  1. Comcast competition has been advertising, that they have the YES network, reporting that Comcast dropped the YES network.
  2. Comcast has responded in advertising that they dropped it to save the Customer higher rates.
  3. The Yankees stood their ground and Comcast doesn’t have the Yankees.

Now do Comcast customers get a refund for the “missing” YES network?

Do any of the “regulators” have any interest?  (That’s a joke!)

I’m sure the Comcast contract has “mouse print” that says the Customer gets whatever Comcast feels like serving.

Argh!

Libertarians For Trump

*** begin quote ***

First, in the words of my friend and mentor Ralph Raico (who writes to refute the notion that only the uneducated can support Mr. Trump, and who soon afterward joined me and Dr. Miller as the third founding member of LFT): “My friend Walter Block, who has a Columbia doctorate and is a college professor, has started a support group, Libertarians for Donald Trump. I’m a Chicago Ph.D. and retired college prof, and I’ve joined Walter’s cabal of the intellectually deficient. We are happy to join with legions of our fellow Americans who aren’t university educated but–isn’t it obvious?–are still capable of displaying common sense. Personally, my main reason for endorsing Trump and praying for his victory is his opponent. The Queen of Chaos would be the most dangerous person ever to fill the office of president. Quite aside from the colossal corruption of the Clinton crime family, I believe she would push Putin to a nuclear confrontation.”

As I have said before and write on this blog, maybe Trump can give us a saner foreign policy.

ALL of the “establishment candidates” won’t.

So what do we have to lose.

Maybe I’m an “April Fool”, but seems worth a try?

RANT: Nabisco recently announced that Oreo was moving 600 jobs from the Chicago

Tuesday, March 29, 2016

Posted on March 24, 2016 by keywestlou

*** begin quote ***

Oreo cookies! America loves Oreos! It appears Oreos does not love America as much.

Oreos has four plants in the U.S. The main plant is in Chicago. Been there for 100 years turning out Oreos.

Nabisco owns Oreos. The corporate conglomerate owning Nabisco is called Mondelez.

Nabisco recently announced that Oreo was moving 600 jobs from the Chicago plant to a new one in Mexico. Some jobs would remain in Chicago.

Reasons given include it would be cheaper to build a new plant in Mexico than remodel the Chicago plant at a cost of $130 million. The other reason is taxes. Corporate taxes are too high in the U.S.

The tax argument fails.

Although the corporate tax rate is 35 percent, Mondolez paid only 13.5 percent in 2014. 2013 was even better. They only paid 2.5 percent.

Six hundred men and women will be out of jobs. The corporation bullshits the public with the tax issue. No one challenges the corporation. The 1 percent wins again.

*** end quote ***

So, why have the politicians and bureaucrats fixed the corporate tax rate.

Only, correct rate is zero!

B) Get Fewer Prescription Bottles:
If you have a maintenance prescription for an ongoing health issue, such as asthma, acid reflux or blood pressure, talk with your doctor, insurance company and pharmacy about the possibility of 90-day (three-month) prescriptions. Not only will this cut down on the rate that the prescription bottles pile up, it could potentially save you some fuel costs in trips to the pharmacy or reduce them altogether if they prescriptions are shipped directly to you.

If you use a smaller local pharmacy, talk with your pharmacist; they may let you bring your prescription bottles back to the pharmacy and actually refill them when you refill your prescription.[9] This saves them money and reduces the number of bottles you have to deal with.

RANT: Is an Amazon “oversold” like an Airline “bump”?

Sunday, March 20, 2016

This morning I was thinking about my fiancée’s recent experience with an Amazon purchase.

Background, she ordered a “new” (antique!) Blackberry phone. All well and good. It “disappeared”. Even though USPS reported it as delivered to her door.

Yeah, I know all about “porch pirates”. And, was perfectly fine until this morning.

Then, when safely under my tin foil hat, my Conspiracy Theorist bent came to the forefront and began asking questions.

Interesting that when she ordered it, Amazon said they had five for sale. When she called to complain about the missing delivery, the representative offered a refund OR A REPLACEMENT. She was told to wait until the follow ing Monday to make it official. When she did, “Amazon is no longer selling these”. (a polite FU! imho)

So as a certifiable Conspiracy Theorist, perhaps like the airlines who “bump” flights that they deliberately “overbook”, I suspected that maybe Amazon “oversold” this items.

Now, I’m an Amazon Prime-er, and I order lots of stuff. (18 items alone in 2016!) And, I have NEVER fallen prey to a “porch pirate”. That day, I got a delivery that USPS put in a locker. The next day, Sunday, I got a USPS delivery to the door.

Argh!

Now, maybe Amazon oversold it, realized that, and decided “who do we screw”?

Maybe Amazon has a label to the USPS that says “Lose this package”. And, USPS plays along. 

Why would USPS do that? Collision with Amazon; lest Amazon decide to bribe Congress that it want to deliver mail. Perhaps, even Amazon pays more for the “lose this package” service?

Argh!

I urged her to grip to Amazon a lot louder, the USPS, and any Gooferment entity that would listen.

Isn’t interesting that the same phone is available at Blackberry for 100$ more — no problem.

So why didn’t Amazon just buy one there and send to her to keep the Customer happy? Yeah, now it’s all about money!

I wonder if other people have had similar experiences.

Argh!

You’re right. I don’t trust ANYONE or ANY Crony Capitalist corporation. 

I’m sure the US Gooferment is going to rush to investigate itself.

Argh!

RANT: Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good

Sunday, March 13, 2016

FROM SNOPES

http://www.snopes.com/glurge/lifelessons.asp

Written by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio 
“To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I’ve ever written. 
My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:  
1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good. 
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. 
4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch. 
5. Pay off your credit cards every month. 
6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. 
7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone. 
8. It’s OK to get angry. 
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck. 
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile. 
11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present. 
12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry. 
13. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about. 
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it. 
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks. 
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind. 
17. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful. 
18. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger. 
19. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else. 
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer. 
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special. 
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow. 
23. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple. 
24. The most important sex organ is the brain. 
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you. 
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words ‘In five years, will this matter?’ 
27. Always choose life. 
28. Forgive everyone everything. 
29. What other people think of you is none of your business. 
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time some time. 
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. 
32. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does. 
33. Believe in miracles. 
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do. 
35. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now. 
36. Growing old beats the alternative — dying young. 
37. Your children get only one childhood. 
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved. 
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere. 
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back. 
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. 
42. The best is yet to come. 
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. 44. Yield. 
45. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.

RANT: YOU’VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM

Saturday, March 12, 2016

from an email “chain letter” forward to me by a young relative

*** begin quote ***

“IF YOU CAN’T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU’VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM”
WRITTEN BY A 21 YEAR OLD FEMALE. Wow, this girl has a great plan! Love the last thing
she would do – the best.

This was written by a 21 yr. old female who gets it. It’s her future she’s worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big government state that she’s being forced to live in! These solutions are just common sense in her opinion.

This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco , TX

PUT ME IN CHARGE . . .

Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid.The first thing I’d do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations.Then, we’ll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your “home” will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a “government” job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22-inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good.”

Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary.

If you want our money, accept our rules. Before you say that this would be “demeaning” and ruin their “self esteem,” consider that it wasn’t that long ago that taking someone else’s money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND

While you are on Gov’t subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote would be
a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov’t welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

Makes sense to me!

RANT: The murder of a poor cook in northern China

CHINESE COOK DIES FROM TOXIC WASTE DUMPED AT PARKING LOT

*** begin quote ***

BEIJING (AP) — Police in a northern Chinese city have broken up a major toxic waste case that came to light when a restaurant owner died after inhaling poisonous gases coming from his kitchen drain, state media said Monday.

Police discovered that the operator of a parking lot near the restaurant in Baoding city had allowed factories to dump highly toxic waste into its drain pipes for illegal gains, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

The parking lot operator allowed a total of more than 3,400 tons of toxic waste to be dumped between August 2014 and May 2015, Xinhua said.

*** end quote ***

Sounds like murder!

And how did they think they were going to get away with this?

At the very least, the parking lot operator was going to be caught! And, then sing like a canary!!!

Given the Chinese and their use of the “death penalty”, if I were these folks, then I’d be saying my prayers and calling in all the bribes I’d ever given for help.

What a shame for the poor cook.

RANT: What the hell is “eyewash”?

Thursday, February 18, 2016

http://www.thedailysheeple.com/the-cia-has-been-lying-to-its-own-employees-for-decades_022016

THE CIA HAS BEEN LYING TO ITS OWN EMPLOYEES FOR DECADES
FEBRUARY 13, 2016 | THE ANTI-MEDIA

*** begin quote ***

The Post says that references to eyewash date back to the 19th century in books on spying, as well as more recent Hollywood movies such as Argo. One official who has seen the Senate report said, “The people in the outer levels who didn’t have insider access were being lied to. They were being intentionally deceived.”

Five former “high-ranking CIA officials” said they have never heard of eyewash nor had they seen it used in internal communications. Fred Hitz, a former CIA inspector general, told the Post that someone might make a decision based on false information and said the tactic was equivalent to “playing with fire.” Other officials interview by the Post said the program has a significant potential for abuse.

Another government official who claims to have seen the practice said that in his career of more than two decades he had “only seen maybe five or six” eyewash cables. So far, the CIA has refused to comment on the Washington Post story.

Federal laws exist which make it illegal for a government employee to lie or falsify statements in an official record. Somehow, the CIA has managed to become so far above the law that they are able to lie to their own employees and compartmentalize it in such a fashion that the left hand never knows what the right hand is doing.

*** end quote ***

You can trust the Gooferment about as you can trust that a politician is “honest”.

The fact that the CIA lies to its employees is only obscured by the fact that they, and the rest of the Gooferment, lies to the people, the taxpayers, and the world!

Argh!

Stolen Lives, Protected Criminals: The Wrongful Imprisonment of Christopher Tapp

There are abundant reasons to be grateful that we do not live under the Old Testament “lex talonis” legal covenant, and one compelling reason to lament that this is so: Under the system of justice described in the Book of Deuteronomy, a lying police officer and corrupt prosecutor who falsely convicted an innocent man would be required to suffer the punishment intended for their victim.

Under that legal principle, former Idaho Falls Police Detective Jared Fuhriman and former Bonneville County District Attorney Kip Manwaring would be serving a sentence of 30 years to life for the wrongful murder conviction of Christopher Conley Tapp.

Well, not only do we need to call the politicians and bureaucrats to “fix” the concept of “sovereign immunity” that protects the police and prosecutors from their abuses. Some of the stuff that gets reported is absolutely inexcusable. We’re not talking about a minor mistake or flub; these stories document prosecutorial or police criminal abuse.

Also, the courts need to be open to ANY appeal that could prove one’s innocence. I don’t care if it was evidence available at the time of trial, new DNA capabilities, or ineffective counsel / abusive prosecutorial conduct. The door should be always OPEN for proof of innocence. If I was President, I’d take these cases under advisement. 

Better a hundred guilty go free, than one innocent is in jail.

Just think, the unlucky stiff in jail could be YOU!

Mainstream Media has Lost Control: Let the Whining Begin

I guess we should ignore a leading German journalist who says he was bribed by the CIA; Operation Mockingbird, which never happened and even if it did no one would do such a thing today; pro-war media pundits who are on the payroll of defense contractors and others who benefit from international conflict; the official 911 investigation team was fed lies.

— Officer Barbrady’s Catch Phrase South Park

Today, “We, The Sheeple” are given the “Super Bowl”. 

It distracts them to watch MP4B (“Millionaires Playing For Billionaires”) while BHO44 fiddles and the world burns.

Maybe it’s better that the folks on this modern day Titanic don’t consider what happens when they hit one of the many “icebergs” in their path — the debt, the deficit, the current 20T+ national debt and the guesstimated 300T+ in unfunded liabilities that our posterity will have to deal with, the abortion genocide, and unstable world political arrangement.

No, keep your eye on the football, citizen, since that is ALL that really matters.

Argh!

RANT: Is this one of the “few enumerated powers”?

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. –  A Beverly Hills-based beauty school says it’s closing all 56 of its campuses in five states after losing federal funding over allegations of misconduct.

Marinello Schools of Beauty has been in business for over a century. It shut facilities this week in California, Nevada, Utah, Kansas and Connecticut.

My question is why is the Federal Gooferment involved in “student loans”?

Where in the Constitution is this one of the “few enumerated powers”?

It may be a State regulatory concern — are the students being defrauded — but why is the Federal Gooferment doing anything?

Argh!

RANT: CDC Cover-Up

CDC Cover-Up of Autism and Vaccine Link Continues

However, the very same U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has refused to call a hearing about another health crisis—whether or not childhood vaccines cause autism.

In August, 2014, a senior CDC researcher, Dr. William Thompson came forward and sought whistleblower status by claiming that an important 2004 paper from the CDC—which found no correlation with the MMR vaccine and autism–was fraudulent. According to Dr. Thompson, the CDC researchers actually found that the MMR vaccine, when given before 36 months of age (it is presently recommended at 12-15 months and again at five years) was significantly correlated with the development of autism. However, the CDC, in a closed-door meeting, altered the data to hide their findings. Furthermore, the authors of this 2004 paper were told, by their bosses at the CDC, to throw out and not disclose any information that showed a correlation of the MMR vaccine with autism.

I have written to about this travesty many times.

My problems is that there is no “honesty” in Gooferment.

I am more firmly convinced that the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.

The politicians and bureaucrats have indemnified Big Pharma by the “vaccine harm fund”. SO there is no way to make them pay for their mistakes.

And, of course, a cover up is usually worse than the crime.

I hope whomever is the new President can “clean house”.

But, I fear, that’s too much to hope for.

Argh!

I don’t envy the decision any parent has to make. And, the fact that there are no “facts” to guide them makes it even worse. At least, the old tribal witch doctor didn’t have a conflict of interest. Too many bad results and he’d be sacrificed to appease the gods. Maybe we should try that approach?
