That’s just animal cruelty.

Hope she gets a “karmic reward”.

Patriotism Revisited, by Sean Gangol

Tuesday, September 3, 2019

When Donald Trump suggested that these women return to their countries of origin and fix the problems that plague those nations instead of trashing ours, people on the left called Trump a racist and xenophobe. Three out of four members of the Squad were born in the United States, so that does make Trump’s statement somewhat incorrect, when it comes to their countries of origin (except for Omar). Yet, I still don’t consider what Trump said to be racist or xenophobic or even all that unreasonable. These four women seem to have nothing but contempt for America and its values. I would say at the very least that these women have absolutely no business governing the very country they hate.

This “group” is a disgrace when you look at their statement in a ‘patriotic lens’.

Here’s how to cope with Propaganda Day today

Monday, September 2, 2019

In the meantime, it’s Labor Day, which means your Facebook feed is full of propaganda about labor unions giving us the weekend.

Oh, really?

Then I guess all Bangladesh needs to get weekends off is a bunch of labor unions?

Labor unions didn’t bring us the benefits that capitalism, with its wealth, did.  I don’t understand why this isn’t obvious.  It’s like politicians, sensing which way the wind is blowing, get out in front​ of the parade and pretend to be “leading”.  Argh!

Issue a ticket and impound the bicycle should put a stop to it real fast!

Stop saving your umbrella for a rainy day

Sunday, September 1, 2019

In Hong Kong, umbrellas are commonly used for sun protection (and a symbol of protest). (AP Photo/Kin Cheung/) Many of us apply sunscreen when we go to the beach. But walking outside under the fierce summer sun—even if it’s to run a quick errand—can be taxing: We sweat, we get exhausted, we burn and we expose ourselves to dangerous UV rays.

As for me, a 63-year-old male living in sunny Texas whose parents had skin cancer, I’ll keep embarrassing my kids by wearing my wide-brimmed dorky dad hat, slathering on the sun screen, donning long-sleeve shirts, and unfurling my portable umbrella when strolling under the sun.

DOJ Declines to Prosecute James Comey for Leaking Classified Info

Thursday, August 29, 2019

The watchdog office said Comey broke FBI rules by giving a memo containing unclassified information to his friend Daniel Richman with instructions to share the contents with a reporter. The office also said Comey failed to notify the FBI after he was fired that he had retained some of the memos in a safe at home. Comey wrote a series of memos about conversations with President Trump he said unnerved him. Comey has stated he wanted to make a record of the interactions because he was concerned President Trump might later lie about them.

An army of hungry little sea urchins could save Hawaiian reefs

Wednesday, August 28, 2019

A diver holding urchins just 15 to 20 millimeters in width. The animals, native to Hawai’i, are known to eat at least five species of invasive algae. (Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources/) There are a lot of stories of introduced species gone wrong.

As humans continue to warm the planet, these foundational organisms will be lost to bleaching, in which warm temperatures lead corals to eject their zooxanthellae; the bleached corals are left vulnerable to disease and stress and sometimes die as a result.

*** end quote ***

Great article about a great piece of innovative work.

Well worth the read.

The writer unfortunately puts in the opinion that there is “global warming” and it’s caused by humans.

Both “facts” are arguable.

I would have rather seen the writer focus on how the reader could help.  For example, does the urchin deploying center take donations?  Is there a gofundme page to spin off a similar effort in a different country?  How can people support this effort?

But, everything has to have a political spin to it.

Sigh!

No secret that I am not a fan of any politician, bureaucrat, or most “celebrities”.

But sorry, your “personal life” is not off-limits when you are holding a position of “public trust”.

“One man cannot do right in one department of life whilst he is occupied in doing wrong in any other department. Life is one indivisible whole” ― Mahatma Gandhi

So, let’s have the facts out on the table.

Seems like she’s immoral to her own claims.

Argh!
