I think the sale was a scam!

I took advantage of a Prime Day sale on the new AirPods. Funny that package NEVER gets delivered. All my other Amazon deliveries go off with no problem. I suspect that this was bait and switch. Advertise a great deal and then never deliver. I am…

RANT: Anyone want to argue that the non-profit NCAA is nothing more than the NFL “farm teams”?

College Football Playoffs

The field for the inaugural 12-team college football playoff was revealed yesterday, with Big Ten champion Oregon capturing the top seed. The Ducks are followed by No. 2 Georgia, No. 3 Boise State, and No. 4 Arizona State, with each of the top four receiving a first-round bye.

Under the new system, the opening round will have the higher-seeded teams host games on campus: No. 5 Texas will host No. 12 Clemson; No. 6 Penn State will welcome No. 11 SMU; No. 7 Notre Dame faces No. 10 Indiana; and No. 8 Ohio State will take on No. 9 Tennessee. The biggest debate of selection day was SMU, which lost the ACC championship on a last-second field goal, nudging out Alabama.

A significant amount of money is at stake. Roughly $115M will be distributed across the conferences based on which teams advance (see details).

The first round will be held Friday, Dec. 20, and Saturday, Dec. 21. See the full schedule of bowl games here; see a playoff bracket here.

Sorry but all this chatter about “non-profit”, “amateur athletes”, and “student athletes” is just a “Barbara Streisand” smoke screen for Gooferment Skrules to rake in big bucks from “We, The Sheeple”.

Time to divest “education” from “entertainment”.

Argh!  Now that “amateur athletes” can make big bucks from “Name, Image, and Likeness”, lets cut the <synonym for excrement> and stop fooling everyone.

This is nothing more than gambling by Gooferment institutions using Taxpayer money and defrauding those same Taxpayers at the same time.

If you use my Tax dollars, then you can’t use them for anything but “education”!  Privatize these “State Actors” away from the font of Taxpayer money.

RANT: So if Hunter Biden can’t invoke the Fifth, then it means all his “co-conspitors” are in jeopardy

Pardon means Fifth Amendment trouble for Hunter Biden
By Kaelan Deese
December 2, 2024 12:37 pm

*** begin quote ***

In the hours since the pardon, Republicans, along with legal experts, have elevated the significance of what the younger Biden’s pardon means for their long-standing investigations, contending that it opens up the playing field for lawmakers to question him on nearly everything he has now been pardoned from over the past 11 years.

Under the Fifth Amendment, people can refuse to answer questions if their responses might incriminate them in criminal cases. However, with all criminal liability now erased by the pardon, Hunter Biden could face contempt charges if he refuses to testify before congressional panels.

“Well, this now makes it much easier for a GOP Senate/House to call Hunter as a witness about his and his dad’s connections to Ukraine, etc. because the pardon prevents Hunter from asserting the Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself,” Mark Smith, a constitutional attorney and host of the Four Boxes Diner legal analysis show, wrote on X.

*** end quote ***

If I was at all connected to Hunter Biden, then I’d be worried.

See he has a BIG Get Out Of Jail Free card.  Unless you have one, you’re screwed.  He’ll have to testify against you.  

(Don’t know what happens if he refuses?)

So, like when the authorities go after any organized crime, they flip the bottom run to testify against the next rung up.  Until they reach the top.

I’ve often thought that in the cases of election fraud, get the underlings, arrest them, and threaten them with prison and watch how fast they will turn states evidence against their boss.  Or bosses. 

It should be very entertaining to see whose hands are “dirty”.

RANT: Tell John Oliver that Illegals do comit crimes

Saturday, November 30, 2024

Illegal Migrants Less Likely to Commit Crime? Guess Again.
By John R. Lott Jr., RealClearInvestigations
November 25, 2024

*** begin quote ***

In June, Victor Martinez-Hernandez was charged with the murder of Rachel Morin, a mother of five in Maryland. Police in Oklahoma tracked the accused repeat offender down with a sample of his DNA recovered from a Los Angeles home invasion in which a nine-year-old girl and her mother were assaulted. Police say he came to the U.S. illegally to escape prosecution for at least one other murder in his native El Salvador in December 2022. 

“That should never have been allowed to happen,” said Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler, referring to the numerous missed red flags the case presented. His office apprehended Hernandez in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

RNC & ”Migrant Crime”: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

*** begin quote ***

John Oliver discusses the wave of people claiming there’s a wave of “migrant crime,” where the term came from, and what we can do next. 

*** end quote ***

# – # – # – # – # 

When I listened to John Oliver’s show, I was admonished that there was no such thing as “migrant crime” and the term came from the evil Republicans.

Well here is one specific example that counters that argument.

Any even the liberal media has reported a lot of “migrant crime”!

Surly, this deserves an “update” when he comes back from his end-of-season break?

I hope that all the bad guys can be deported and we can get back to some peace in our country,

RANT: Someone needs some education about the “facts of life”

Scottish Government Tells High Court Men Can Too Get Pregnant
By Josh Slocum / November 27, 2024 

*** begin quote ***

Oh, Scotland. You were once a kingdom celebrated in legend and song for your marauding men and bonnie lasses scrapping it out on the border with England as you fought to maintain your culture. Your border reivers were the forerunners of the outlaws and cowboys in the American West. You gave the world James I (of England), who gave the world the most revered translation of the Bible. 

Now, you’re in court making asses out of yourselves. And for what? “Pregnant men” and “male lesbians.”

Are all politicians and bureaucrats just that stupid?

NATO is saying it is planning targeted precision strikes on Russian territory; Britian and France saying they want to deploy troops; are these people insane? crazy? did they not hear Putin say if they hit Russian soil with western missiles etc. that this can activate a nuclear war? Who is doing this driving us to WW III? Who are the deranged crazy lunatics doing this?

RANT: Our old “friend” shrinkflation is in the news; it’s this a deceptive trade practice

Tuesday, November 5, 2024

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/yourmoney/consumer/article-13998363/kelloggs-cereal-mocked-extreme-lengths-hide-

Kellogg’s ridiculed for drastic efforts to hide shrinkflation: ‘Just laughing at us’
By Tilly Armstrong Assistant Consumer Editor For Dailymail.Com
Published: 08:36 EDT, 28 October 2024 | Updated: 12:09 EDT, 28 October 2024

*** begin quote ***

Kellogg’s is resorting to ‘deceptive’ ways to distract shoppers from its shrinkflation tactics.

A photo shared on Reddit highlights how the brand has made its family-size Special K box taller – while actually reducing the amount of cereal inside. 

Shrinkflation is when products shrink in size or quantity while the price remains the same or even increases. 

*** end quote ***

Unlike “price gouging” that I approve of, “shrinkflation” IMHO is a deceptive trade practice designed to fool “We, The Sheeple”.  As such, it should be actionable.  Companies should not be permitted to defraud the consumer this way.  (Other ways may be permissible?)

At the very least, the FTC should force them to rebrand their packaging.

Maybe as punishment, they should be required to put a “shrinkflation” notice prominently.

RANT: “Click to cancel” is a good rule

Tuesday, October 22, 2024

https://www.androidauthority.com/ftc-click-to-cancel-rule-3491150/

FTC cracks down on subscription tricks with click-to-cancel rule

  • From streaming services to gym memberships, the new rule will make it as easy to cancel as it was to sign up.

By Matt Horne
October 16, 2024

*** begin quote ***

TL;DR

  •     FTC’s new click-to-cancel rule will ensure canceling subscriptions is as easy as signing up.
  •     The rule targets deceptive subscription practices and applies to renewals, free trials, and continuity plans.
  •     Businesses will have 180 days to comply or face a fine.

*** and ***

The broader rule goes on to address misleading advertising practices and provides other protections against deceptive negative option marketing. Most parts of the rule will go into effect 180 days after publication, giving businesses time to comply and avoid potential penalties.

*** end quote ***

Why did it take them so long and why did the Pepuls Republik of Kaliforkneeah have to do it first?

What all does it cover?

Didn’t see that banks and credit cards were included.

Now what about “misleading advertising” by the media as well as politicians and bureaucrats?
