News from CNN

The building collapse in Florida dominated the weekend news.

While rescue workers have difficult and sometimes dangerous tasks, there are only so many times I can watch the same film clip of men with buckets climbing a pile of rubble. There is much time wasted saying nothing, soothing nobody, and allowing no insight.

In the channel flipping mode, CNN and MSNBC were part of the cycle. Noticed that for nearly every political issue discussed, there were included prerequisite statements that President Trump is a liar and the election results were beyond reproach.

The repeated diatribes made the bucket carrying loop more palatable.

President Biden won the election, but suggesting that there was no cheating flies in the face of logic. Will guilt ever be proven, no. Here in Georgia, the official word is that it no illegality was identified, but there is little doubt that the acts that Stacy Abrams and her sister were unethical.

Extremely unethical.

Charity Argument

Once in a while we just have to stand back in awe of our government.
The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free meals and food stamps ever - to 46 million people.

Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Dept. of the Interior, asks us to "Please Do Not Feed the Animals."  Their stated reason for the policy is because "the animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves."

Thus ends today's lesson in irony.

Word of the Day

Always trying to increase my word comprehension, am signed up for an emailed "Word of the Day". Today's word was one I already knew, even if I would have pronounced and spelled it incorrectly.


Seeing this immediately brought to mind President Biden's meeting with Putin. 
During the Presidential campaign many concluded that candidate Biden was cognitively diminished. I believe that many Democrats understood that Biden was a shell that would be easily controlled by the bureaucracy. A bureaucracy that would resume the course that President Trump tried, and failed, to detour.  We saw four years of the State Department resisting Trump policies, now we are back in the channel of unelected liberals running foreign policy. 

I for one and sick of the rigmarole.
