One of the biggest utter farces released upon the world at large is Black Lives Matter.

Touted to be a thing promoting the longevity of and fairness to black people, it quickly devolved into the money grubbing den of thieves misapproriating funds it presently is ...

Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation scarfs up all the cash contributions then funnels it to various persons involved in the BLM start up who then distribute it to their family and cronies all over.

That scam which is Black Lives Matter says it's a vehicle for black lives mattering when it is merely a mechanism to fleece all the stupid black and white contributors who feel so woke as to ignore just where their money is going.

What a stupid bunch of people. Take that knee stupid dupes lacking the wherewithall of realization. You know not who you support, and moreso the nature of that support. If you support BLM you are a fool.

Today is Black Lives Matter Day. It is celebrated annually on February 26 in remembrance of the thug Trayvon Martin, a black teen who thought he was "all that" and was killed by a white American protecting himself when he was attacked.

The acquittal of his killer, George Zimmerman regarding murder charges caused a wave of widespread prejudicial anger which is a function of the unmitigated gall to which a group feels they are entitled is outrageous.

Add to this the call for reparations as if affirmative action wasn't already more than enough and you have a group of greedy needy individuals unable to function in the world. So they demand undeserved handouts in the name of some woke ideology which simply doesn't wash.

There has been more justice and fairness leveled towards black people than I ever enjoyed in my life time. Black Lives Matter is a chant by dullard uninformed people to provide their marxist leadership the opportunity to rip off any and all contributions made to this fake organization.

Why don't you stupid people join in the movement "allegedly" to end discrimination and just see if you get any of the piece of that massive pie they are reserving for their corrupt selves, indulging their families, and cronies.

You'll get nothing except a lower bank balance.

Black Lives Matter is a phony institution designed to enrich the crooks that started it.

Boo Fools !
 

Here's a day that certainly wasn't invented with me in mind ... Be Humble Day.

To be humble is to be not proud. It is without boastfulness. It is a characteristic by which you don't feel or project you're better than other people. Even in the presence of vast achievements we should make all attempts to remain humble.

I personally view Elon Musk as one who typifies the humble yet accomplished human being.

I'm not saying that he is timid or seeking attention or anything else. I just feel that despite his massive repetoire of achievements he remains humble and does not let anything go to his head.

I on the other hand have largely remained silent about my skills during my career. Now that I am retired I like to make a few items of historical information known regarding who knew what and JUST WHO continually walked on whom during their careers.

It's not braggadocio. Just fact. However, humble I am not.

So we observe Be Humble Day annually on February 22 to stress that value which is to be had from humility. I know many people who have attained great works and never bring them to the attention of anyone they encounter.

While my accomplishments are merely subsets in the area of subject matter expertise there is no need to tell all the tales I know. Telling everything you know remains a mistake if you seek humility.

So aside from this place — which is mine — I remain largely silent. That pride I have felt in the past is left in the past where it belongs. All that pissed off with the college scene idiots still remains with me, however.

May your humbleness shine like a beacon before your peers.
 

I have been known to devour various pies over the years. I am partial to REAL egg custard but also enjoy a wide variety of fruit pies ... like the cherry pie.

I enjoy everything from the crust to the filling and of course the whipped cream if it is present. I come from a line of those who could and did bake mouth watering pastries over the years.

Today is National Cherry Pie Day. It falls on February 20. There are stories which link it to George Washington and the biographer's myth of his cutting down his father’s cherry tree.

I am not alone in my enjoyment of the cherry pie. It is a popular pie filling in our nation and is traditionally made with tart cherries instead of sweet cherries.

The variety of cherry doesn't matter so much to me as much as the character of the filling — which I regard closely ... and the quality of ice cream or whipped cream which accompanies it.

Cherry pies are the stuff of folklore as evidenced by the song Billy Boy — which was a memory from my childhood that I hummed many times back then and has many lyrics. One of those lyrics feature the cherry pie:
 

Billy Boy

...

Can she bake a cherry pie, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Can she bake a cherry pie, Charming Billy?
She can bake a cherry pie, quick as a cat can wink her eye
But she's a young thing and cannot leave her mother
