- Great American Meatout 2021
-
March 20 brings us another Great American Meatout. Held since 1985 in protest of the US Senate resolution proclaiming National Meat week (January 31 through February 7). It's become one of those leftist libtard protests with components of so-called 'diet education' in all the leftist symbolism over substance touting vegan fare over those preferred by we carnovores of the world.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, while I do acknowledge the health benefits of vegan diets and vegetarianism the facts are that I am not the only meat eater on the planet ... just one of the most apologetic ones around ... but I digress.
The Great American Meatout has a number of observant activists and is observed by around 25 nations presently including the US. This is a time for food demos, leaflet distribution, information demonstrations, and a pitch to attendees to "kick the meat habit" on March 20, which is the beginning of Spring.
So while the event is promoted by some 40 governors and another 47 mayors in the US and all the leftist libtard promotion by the main stream marxist media including Time, The Huffington Post, and the LA Times it simply is not the mainstream happening the libtards may have originally envisioned.
So as I prepare my boneless, skinless chicken for tonight's meal I wish The Great American Meatout well for those proponents who observe it and leave you with a hearty 'Good luck with all that'.

- 1918 Congress, time zones, and daylight saving time
-
Now daylight savings time (DST) and Eastern standard time (EST) are the same animal with one accommodating the longer days of summer and the other optimizing the shorter days of winter.
My personal feelings are that I can take it or leave it.
It's just something that has been in effect my entire life so I grew somewhat used to it. I do admit to arriving quite early for work a couple of times due the the time change — but all in all it hasn't really fazed me.
So some of the people are fairly against the time changes, others are adamantly in favor of the time change ...
Still others like myself are quite ambivalent and could really give a rip one way or the other.
On this day in 1918 Congress of the United States established time zones and approved daylight savings time.
The rationale was a provision of additional daylight hours to accommodate our largely agrarian and rural society at that time.
However, DST clock shifts were found to complicate timekeeping sometimes disrupting travel, billing cycles, record keeping in general, medical devices, heavy equipment, and sleep patterns.
Nowadays, computer software generally adjusts clocks automatically and many devices are equiped with radio control (so-called "atomic" clocks) which are radio controlled and synchnronize with "official US time" kept by the National Institute of Standards and Technology of the US Department of Commerce.
Some places in the United States do not recognize Daylight Savings Time. There are somewhat controversial efforts to eliminate it altogether as unnecessary in our more modern world which is far less dependent of daylight hours than it once was.
The jury is out on the final disposition of Daylight Savings Time and I don't know if any taxpayer's will serve in the decision. Much of the tedium assoicated with national adoption of conventional event handling is secondary to the legislative branch which enjoys taking charge of matters regarding which they are unqualified and then committeeing and caucusing it to death.

- Harvey Weinstein Birthday 2021
-
Harvey Weinstein is a pretty miserable human being these days. He is incarcerated, feels rained upon and persecuted for doing what "everyone else was doing" in his industry and is positively eat up with the "why me" pity party thing.
His career was at the pinnacle of film production as the co-founder the entertainment company Miramax from which he fell to the status of "former" film producer and convicted sex offender following sexual abuse allegations dating back to the late 1970s.
The proceedings didn't interest me much because I felt that some of the victims knew (or at least should have known) what they were getting into ...
But be all of this as it may, I personally don't think that any individual should be allowed to make unwanted advances toward another at all because it's simply unseemly to the level of being creepy.
Some of the photographic evidence passed around on the dark web simply substantiated the "creepy" factor up one side and down the other and I personally was amazed at how shameless some of the photographs were given the physical appearance of this guy in all his nudity and flabbage.
Now, an obese physically unattractive person of the male persuasion can certainly attract a number of willing females nonetheless with whom to cavort in full blown carnal knowledge but forcing the act based on career hooks is pushing your luck given the utterly litigious nature of the world anymore. He should have been keenly aware of how lawsuit crazy a person with any legitimate claim and an axe to grind would be in this day and age given those amounts of cash he was raking into his personal coffers.
I know I would have been much more careful under the same circumstances — but it also would have been much easier for me given the timid self conscious guy into which I have evolved.
Besides the 'metoo media' not withstanding mixing love, sex, and work makes for multiple points of failure during interpersonal relations anyway and this should have been enough red flags flapping around him ... but it wasn't. I could never have felt so invulnerable and devoid of paranoia under those circumstances.
His earliest possible release date from his sentence of incarceration is November 9, 2039.
Happy birthday anyway, idiot. I think I would have preferred the career to the consequences of predation myself — but that's just me.

- Congress repeals the Gold Standard for US Currency in 1968
-
The gold standard was a monetary system in the United States where the country's currency or paper money has a value directly linked to gold.
With the gold standard, The Republic agreed to convert paper money into a fixed amount of gold.
Countries utilizing the gold standard sets a fixed price for gold and buys and sells gold at that price.
February 1965 saw turd President Charles de Gaulle announce an intention to exchange its US dollar reserves for gold at the official exchange rate.
He sent a contingent of French Naval forces to collect this gold and the action was followed by several other countries as well.
We need to stop doing business with just anyone. In particular not the enemies of the state such as China, Iran, and the former USSR so favored by the democrats and the strange bedfellows maintained by their criminal families as well as the leftist libtards who actually believe they will be in power forever.
On this day in 1968 in a singularly irresponsible move from a standpoint of fiscal responsibility the US Congress repealed the requirement for a gold reserve to back US currency.
This is the problem with elected officials of varying motivations being able to make dangerous decisions on the behalf of the entire nation without oversight of any kind.
This move has lead to the theories that Fort Knox no longer holds any gold bullion because the reserves were fleeced by various law makers, civil authorities, or whomever and there has never been a move toward responsibility nor accountability.
Where is the power to hold government tribunals and make the lawmakers accountable under threat of public execution.
I think if we started killing some of these idiots allowed to take charge and made them totally responsible for their actions for a change we'd have less in the way of ridiculous failures of leadership and other associated aspects of the leftist spin on governance of The Republic.
All this bad leadership has snowballed into the leftist notion that they're going to steal the country for their personal enrichment by pillage of the taxpayer in perpetuity.
Think again libtard dirtbags. Too many see you and know what's going on presently. Pelosi, Shumer, Schiff, Nadler, the Squad, et al your days in politics are numbered stupid human beings.

- Lots of Kurt Russell Memories floating around
-
Kurt Vogel Russell has been one of those actors who has been on my television since I was a sprout.
He did a lot of work for Disney as a child actor and in those days Disney had not become the ridiculous libtard company it is today. I suppose Walt simply would not have it ...
He was on Dennis the Menace, The Man from UNCLE, The Virginian, The Fugitive, Gunsmoke, Giligan's Island, Daniel Boone, Lost in Space, Laredo, and most of those de rigueur programming choices which populated my time before the tube.
Later I was a big fan of some of his movies, and I particularly liked Soldier, Tombstone, Stargate, Overboard, Silkwood, The Thing, and of course ... Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
In a world where dumb asses like Robert De Niro the rude socially unacceptable moron have to port their stupid drama filled politics to their everyday lives he is pretty much a private guy with a prolific career of fine work ...
Something I can both respect and admire.
His birthday is today.
He is 70 years young. Happy Birthday to YOU !

- The Halabja Massacre of 1988
-
On this day in 1988 Saddam Hussin ordered a chemical attack on the town of Halabja.
They hit the residents with poison gas and nerve agents kiling five thousand and injuring twice that number.
This massacre of Kurdish people on March 16, 1988 in the waining days of the Iran–Iraq War was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan and happened 2 days after the town was captured by Iranian forces.
The worthless UN held a medical investigation which surmised that mustard gas and unidentified nerve agents were used in the attack.
This terrorist incident was the largest chemical weapons attack against a civilian population in history and the residents of the area suffer an increased incidence for cancer and birth defects.
Is there any wonder Ali Hassan Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti aka "Chemical Ali" and the strongarm tyrant dictator Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti were executed with extreme prejudice for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.
Sometimes justice gets it right. However, this is becoming less and less the prevailing outcome with the leftist libtard socialists who are every bit the insane criminals as Saddam.

- The Ides of March 2021
-
Back in my horrid school days I studied Julius Caesar by Shakespeare in the English class of Mrs Louise Belton at Wagener-Salley High School; with whom I got a long quite grandly over the year by the way.
I was in a classroom of fellow 'underachievers' as determined by the incompetents of the Aiken County School district 4 and as usual my performance was way above any of my peers because of the failure of those in charge to realize who "couldn't" from those who "simply didn't" do the work.
Anyway, it was during this period of time that I came to understand what the "ides of march" was to both the ending of Julius Caesar and the rest of the calendar events of that particular timeframe.
The ancient Roman calendar had a number of milestones used in the calculation of time increments ...
Kalends (the first day of the month in the ancient Roman calendar), Nones (the ninth day before the ides in the ancient Roman calendar), and Ides (a day falling roughly in the middle of each month from which other dates were calculated in the ancient Roman calendar)
These ancient markers were used to reference dates in relation to lunar phases.
Ides referred to the first full moon of a month. This typically fell on the 13th or 15th of that month.
The Ides of March once signified a new year and called for festive events with celebration, frolicing, and rejoicing.

- Recollections of Jack Ruby
-
On this day in 1964, Jack Ruby was convicted of killing Lee Harvey Oswald, the assumed assassin of John F Kennedy. The entirety of the murder of our 35th President is fraught with suspicious aspects garnering feelings of mistrust and malfeasance in public office ... along with the thought that dirtbag murderers had assumed control of the country.
Jack Leon Ruby was born Jacob Leon Rubenstein on April 25, 1911. He passed from pulmonary embolism which arose secondary to bronchogenic carcinoma on January 3, 1967.
He murdered Lee Harvey Oswald on November 24, 1963, while Oswald was in police custody after being charged with both the assassination of John F Kennedy and the murder of Dallas policeman J D Tippit.
I was sitting before the television with my mother watching the live video as Ruby fires his pistol into the body of Lee Harvey Oswald. The narrative continued with his rapid deterioration and it was obvious his condition was grave gone to worse. All of this transpired in our living room at Aragona Village in Virginia Beach, Virgina during what had become the darkest period in my childhood.
A Dallas jury found Ruby guilty of murdering Oswald, and he was sentenced to death. On appeal he was granted a new trial but did not live to see his newly won day in court due to the sequela of his pre-existing cancer.
In September 1964, the so-called "Warren Commission" farce concluded that Ruby acted alone in killing Oswald. Various theories have been developed by outside groups based on what was perceived to be covered up evidence, heavy handed military threats issued to healthcare and other professionals during the decedent affairs being afforded to the dead chief executive — and by and large I find personally that the entire affair could have used a level of oversight and that heads should have rolled after the fact. Military heads in particular.
Over the years those ensuing governmental investigations have not stood up well under the scrutiny of scientific methods and eye witness accounts of the Dallas, Texas tragedy, as evidenced by the test of time.
Suffice it to say that the US Government itself appears complicit in the murder of JFK with individuals such as John Foster Dulles, George Herbert Walker Bush, and Lyndon Baines Johnson never having been questioned nor brought under any scrutiny whatsoever during the initial investigations nor any time after the murder.
An interesting sidebar was that same day in 1967 saw the body of John F Kennedy relocated to a permanent burial place at Arlington National Cemetery.
Jacob Leon Rubenstein, aka Jack Ruby is interred in a Jewish cemetery named Westlawn Cemetery and Mausoleum in Norridge, Illinois.

- Hardly remembering Glenne Headly
-
I don't remember a whole lot about Glenne Headly, though I have seen a number of works featuring her acting and one in particular struck me to the point that I still recall scenes of her acting in my mind.
Glenne Aimee Headly was an actress. She was born a month and a day before me on March 13, 1955 and passed June 8, 2017 at age 62. She is known for roles in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Dick Tracy, and Mr. Holland's Opus.
I saw all of these and did not remember her being in them. She was awarded a Theatre World Award and four Joseph Jefferson Awards and two Primetime Emmy Award nominations.
Her most notable role in my mind was the western miniseries Lonesome Dove where she played Elmira Boot Johnson whose sole existence was to rejoin the love of her life, the outlaw Dee Boot — whom she found locked up in the Ogallala jail the day prior to his hanging for killing a young boy.
She was only in four episodes but this was some of the most memorable character portrayal I ever witnessed and it would take an excellent actress to pull off the selfish Elmira in all her many difficulties in such the stark rendering Ms Headly presented to the world.
Glenne Headly died of complications from a pulmonary embolism on June 8, 2017 at the age of 62 in Santa Monica, California. She was in the midst of a career which didn't have any indications of ever letting up. She did movies, television, voice acting, and passed during her last portrayal of Dian Futturman in Future Man.
So little did I know of this extremely talented actress. You'd think that I would have taken notice seeing the great respect I have for her due to my recently acquired understanding of who she was and what she did. I think all that is primarily a function of how vastly different her characters were to her actual self. She certainly was taken from us way too soon.

- Mitt Romney RINO traitor
-
Today is the birthday of the RINO traitor to the Republican Party, Mitt Romney.
He has wrongly accused President Donald Trump of stirring insurrection saying he was "guilty" even though the evidence clearly proves he did nothing toward that end.
The problem with people like Romney is they don't ever bother to get their facts straight prior to forming their inaccurate opinions which they then propagate as so-called "facts" when they are not.
When you cannot be bothered to even pursue the truth you should keep your utterly misinformed lying trap closed Mitt gd Romney.
The impeachment vote was a sham with Romney right out there yapping in the absence of a single fact to back up what he was saying.
He wrongly accused the President of abuse of power like the little lying Adam Schiff acolyte and democrat in republican's clothes he is.
When impeachment didn't happen he turned all sore loser and whined about the outcome.
Like too many others, what a total misfit for public office this crook is.
BOO !

- World Plumbing Day 2021
-
If you're lucky you can get your hands on a good plumber and cultivate a professional relationship whereby he or she will tend to your business as it arises and provide special consideration in emergencies ...
And even extend that level of service to your saintly mama just because you asked him to.
Such is the relationship I have with Ed Van De Grift, my plumber.
Anyway, today is World Plumbing Day, held under the auspices of World Plumbing Council in 2010 it is now observed by organizations and individuals such as myself who appreciate the timely services of a plumbing professional who really knows his stuff and does a proper job regardless of the situation encountered ...
Thank you Ed. Happy World Plumbing Day to you.

- Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness 2021
-
I remember when AIDS was a "man" disease. After all it struck hard upon a male community who didn't see it coming and interrupted their lifestyles and reeked havoc on their lives and loves.
Then migrated via those men who are "on the down low" i.e., people who are called 'bisexuals' in the literature. Nasty human beings of the male persuasion who had sex other males, often anonymously; then did so with their girlfriends and wives. All of a sudden females were becoming infected and couldn't understand why because their trust was betrayed by some cavorting pervert in their lives.
Nowadays the exploits of such carriers and those associated vectors which allow the virus to infect unsuspecting low risk factor people are fairly well known and published in the literature such that various human subcultures are in the loop regarding risk factors germane to their existence.
This brings us to women, girls, and that awareness which came with difficulty and disbelief to the heterosexual community. Yes, Virginia your your man can bring nasty things to you of which you may be unaware and they can kill you.
You. Me. WE. Changing the face of HIV.
This National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. It is held under the auspices of The Office on Women's Health and they want people to be aware of those choices they make when protecting their health.
Abstinence is the best way to avoid HIV, but if you decide to have sex, there are steps you can take to protect yourself and others from HIV.
Everyone has a role to play in the prevention of HIV.
There are steps everyone can take to protect themselves, their partners, their patients, family, and neighbors from HIV infection.
While HIV and AIDS are not the "automatic death sentences" they once were; this infection remains a serious matter and a public health concern due to matters of protection, disclosure, and social interaction.
