Stirring the Pot - My Favorite Activity

Democrat Dissenters

Colorado House of Representatives

Hope this ends business as usual. Interesting that newly elected Democrats are doing this.

Policing

In my youth I was told, bluntly, by a Sheriff that with my temper I was not suitable material for law enforcement. He was correct. This, from our local rag, would rapidly end what little patience I may or may not possess.

Bless those who can interact with idiots and still keep their cool.

WTF

Another example of demanding special treatment of illegal immigrants.

MORE

Yeah, let the inmates run the asylum.

Grudgingly giving credit where it is due

For all my bitching about the American Media Maggots (h/t BZ) I think this news article is creditable. I find bias but note opinion from both sides are presented along with the name and city of those expressing opinions.

So rare, today.

Aging

My 79^th Birthday has passed. An amazing number of people left good wishes on Falsebook. It surprises me that many people are still willing to speak to me. I thanked all individually then posted this.

Many thanks for the birthday wishes and calls. Today I count my blessings that I still have health, mobility, and purpose while avoiding the scourge of cancer, dementia, and Alzheimer's. Fortune has smiled on me.

Few of us know how many days we have left. When I leave or return to my apartment I see this reminder.

The jigsaw puzzle was contributed by one of Banner’s admirers.      

Science I can Support

Useful and beneficial. Now to see how the spin doctors can tie this to climate change (yep, I’m a cynic).

Drag Racing

While never a big fan of drag racing, I’ve watched a  few races here over the years.

It will be sad to see that site covered with ticky tacky condos and apartments.

The family is planning a new facility east of DIA.  Good luck with that. High "Karen" factor.

Sound and Fury Signifying Nothing

The Republicans flaying the Statsi director. Who believes anything concrete will come of it?

My personal opinion is Ken Buck is about as close to an honest congressman as to found in the D.C. sewer these days. Sisty probably doesn't agree.

Bottom Line First

Something that I learned early on in business; state the bottom line first. Then expand to details as necessary or desired.

I watch a lot of YouTube videos. I understand the need for “click bait”. Too often the talking head drones on and on without getting to the bottom line. That results in me either clicking off or zipping to the end.

A popular video I watch is Matt’s Off Road Recovery. It gets a million views. They usually start with, “We got a call for……………” Bottom line first. Details follow.

OK, WSF, you slipped in a rant. Hypocrite!

Climate Change Propaganda

Never ends, rarely accurate.

MORE

“Settled science” is regularly contradicted.

The cynics among us know scientific studies will find what those funding the studies want to be found.

What is needed is a study why public confidence in science studies is diminishing.  Yes, yes, Captain Obvious.

Gaia’s cycles span centuries. How arrogant of us mere mortals to think we can alter those cycles within our puny lifetimes.

As always, YMMV
