- Politico November 2020
-
I'd like to predicate this entry on the fact that poltics is neither my forte nor something I particularly enjoy and that I have been forced into this realm by the criminal leftist libtard democrats and their never ending pursuit of profit at the expense of the taxpayers and their collective desire to steal the United State of America for their own personal gain.
Politics refers to those activities associated with the governance of a jurisdiction, especially the aspects of debate or conflict among individuals or parties either in power and hoping to retain it or others who are not in power but hope to achieve it.
It's a cold world of liars, thieves, cheats and those associated elements such as lobbyists who attempt to purchase influence among these politicos to further their own aims as well.
I am particularly quick to raise my hackles at anything referred to as "global", i.e., where individuals believe that national boundaries and sovereignty should be replaced with an international governance such as the dirtbag UN and their Agenda 2030 which is touted as "sustainability" but if you define what each line describes you realize you're reading a plan for domination and policing by the UN and as such we should arm ourselves and run them from the country immediately.
As with all things in that so-called "global" realm it smacks of:
The United Nations and their misinformed Agenda 2030 victims in waiting for them to start dictating where they may go and setting up armed perimeters;
The so-called "New World Order" the traitor president bush number 1 tried to shove up our asses because he's a reptilian descendent who should have been killed before Dulles and the CIA were allowed to kill John F Kennedy.
All the NWO does for me is make me feel it neccesitate the annihilation of the entirety of Belgium who think they should be the leaders and central government of the world, the Rothschilds who have pillaged the earth for their own profit over centuries, and all those traitor Bush/Obama supported notions which should be cause for immediate execution and those culprets allowed to rot where they drop.
The audacity of the left to think they can just run ripshod over the earth and take what the wish from wherever whenever and by any means necessary.
I am glad I have a good supply of steel cased and hollow point ammo to direct at them should the need arise. I for one do not intend to let the left, the libtards, nor the traitor likes of Bush and Obama run ripshod over me without attempting to take them out with extreme prejudice.
Death to the UN.
Death to Agenda 2030.
Death to the traitors on the left of US politics.
Death to those who monetize and plunder the Republic for personal gain.
We are headed straight for that comeuppance you've been deserving for all too long now.

- World Vegan Day 2020
-
A term for someone who declines to eat any food derived from animals and further — who typically does not use other animal products is "vegan". Contrast this with "vegetarian" who do not eat meat but only sometimes exclude other animal products ...
In my lifetime I've known very few vegetarians and no vegans. While I agree it's a healthy alternative as long as the nutrient spread is adequate it just leaves me lacking in the way of satisfaction. After all, if you sit down to a continuous stream of meals that leave you unsatisfied, what's the purpose of eating. It becomes eating to make a point instead of eating what you enjoy.
Today we have another World Vegan Day, that annual event observed by vegans around the world every November 1st.
Various claimed benefits of veganism as they relate to human existence and our environment are celebrated with activities that I likely would not find too interesting, being the unrepentant carnivore that I remain over the years.
World Vegan Day began 1994 by the efforts of one Louise Wallis who was then Chair of The Vegan Society in the United Kingdom commemorating 50th anniversary of the founding of the organization along with the coining of the terms "vegan" and "veganism".
As for me, though the idea of elimination of animal protein and the health benefits of less cholesterol and other food residues resulting from a carnivorous lifestyle are most certainly not lost on me ... this talk of vegans has has given me a strong urge for a bucket of original recipe all of a sudden.
Eat, drink, and be merry ...

- James Randi RIP
-
The Amazing Randi passed a week ago in Florida at the age of 92. He was a magician and scientific skeptic who engaged various debunking of psychics and paranormal phenomenon and he was a lively conversationalist and presenter who I followed through his many public appearances on television and stage over the years.
Randall James Hamilton Zwinge was born in Canada August 7, 1928 and was always in the face of the paranormal and pseudoscientific purveyors of those claims in which he simply could not bring himself to believe. I became a fan back in the Uri Geller days and I would always take a moment to hear what he had to say since that time.
My encounters with him were typically under the auspices of his Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI) and and of course the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF) and he was one of the only people able to lure me to YouTube with personal interest.
He called paranormal, occult, and supernatural claims "woo-woo" and retired from the practice of magic at age 60 and subsequently from his educational foundation at 87.
His was a long and illustrious career which caused him to be continually in demand. His passing was said to be "age related" and with the schedule he maintained for so long he is likely looking down on us engaged in a much deserved spate of rest.
Rest in peace.

- Thinking of Militas
-
Here we are embarking on the holiday season. Once, my most favorite time of the year, I'm simply not feeling too festive with all the democrat illegality and underhanded profiteering they continue at the behest of organizations like the socialists, black lives don't really matter, southern poverty unlawful center, the gd 'squad' and their wretched villanous ilk.
This has me thinking of militas and hoping they will be effective when the civil war finally arrives. These military forces were meant to supplement our regular army during emergencies. Though history records that there have been incidents of abuse in some militias; I am beginning to feel that they will be a fundamental part of finally placing the democrat pillagers of the Repbulic in their place once and for all.
Militas are elements of emergency response. This is an emergency. The regular army is something the democrat brigands believe they will ultimately control. Given the conservative nature of a lot of military I'm curious as to just how far this will go.
All I can say is these unhappy holidays are not being ignored by we patriots to the cause of The Republic. God bless America. God bless the militas. Please save us from the innumerable democrat party criminals being allowed to walk the earth as though they (think they) own it.

- Thigh Injury Five Weeks Later
-
front
Muscle strain of the thigh can be excruciatingly painful and protracted affairs. I am finally reaching what appears to be resolution of a bad hit to the left thigh affecting both the front and back.
back
I pretty much surmised from reading that I had injured both the hamstrings (located in back) as well as the quadriceps (located in front) and the idea of a pain starting a couple of days into the experience and progressing in the manner this did to be as fear inducing as it gets.
There was a time when I thought I wasn't going to make it. The intractable pain cripped me and left me unable to do anything other than sit or lie and moan.
Over the counter medications were of limited value during the course of this injury. I ended up going to my primary care provider some six months prior to my scheduled appointment to try to get some relief.
She really brought out the big guns too. The pain killer was a highly effective opioid and today was the first day in the treatment plan that I didn't require it upon arising.
While pain remains in the thigh it is the character and intensity of that pain which has improved vastly to the point that I actually think I'm going to make it.
Suffice it to say that I'm going to attempt to keep my ever advancing age in mind when I start getting sloppy sitting and arising from an inadequate chair.
This experience was the stuff of euthanasia. I questioned my will to live and ability to endure for pretty much the first time in my experiential world inventory. Were it not for the effective pain relief afforded to me by my primary care provider I might not be here right now.
I am unlikely to ever ridicule someone pursing pain relief ever again as I have done on occasion in the past.

- Memories of Pablo Picasso
-
Like many I know I've had little experience with Picasso aside from the occasional museum and the various documentaries and oh yes, the coffee table books featuring his work which were a favorite of mine in the early 1970s through around my Navy hitch when the I became that pure animal still steeped in those childhood fantasy ideations I would not escape for another few years ...
Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Cipriano
de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz Picasso
October 25 1881 - April 8 1973
Pablo Ruiz Picasso the Spanish artist extraordinare who did painting, sculpting, print making, ceramics and theatre design essentially resided in France throughout his adult existence. I always had the time to devour some magazine article back when they were envogue with the various insights into him and his art ... and he was largely regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
He is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist representations of militaria.
Picasso demonstrated great artistic talents early on from his childhood through adolescent "naturalist" phase. His work underwent a lot of experimental changes during the early 20th century which I failed to recognize as bonafide art theory manifest in those philosophies and techniques he placed into the methodology of his work. I was more interested in appearances and form rather than the underlying theory and basis of that which I was viewing.
All in all he was a prolific worker throughout his life and he achieved that which many never see; accomplishment, renown, and great fortune becoming one of the best known individuals from any genre on the planet in the 20th century.
He passed 3 weeks before I graduated from high school and my appreciation of his art was nil. He is part of that which made me older and wiser as the years progressed though it was years before I had any grasp of who and what he was.

- Food Day 2020
-
Since 1975 the United States Food Day is celebrated each year on the 24th of October ... and typically corresponds to the entire month.
It is held under the auspices of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) with an aim of creating an observance in the vein of 'Earth Day' only centered around the food industry and associated human aspects of agriculture, health, and nutrition. Food Day in the United States is celebrated annually on October 24 and often throughout the month. The celebration was started in 1975 by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) in an attempt to create an event similar to Earth Day aimed at industrialization of American agriculture, rising food prices, hunger, and the American diet and the subsequent health crisis of malnutrition.
While the day's focus remains the CSPI revived the campaign with Food Day becoming an instrument run by food day org component of CSPI. Raising awareness and changing behaviors related to food remains the concern of this food day movement and of course, the UN figures it needed a 'world food day' to go along with it's desire to rule the world in the name of globalism.
While I subscribe only to the United States version a similar food day idigineous to Canada exists under a similar model and as always the United Nations can go straight to Hell because they want to rule you or kill you and that's what their Agenda 2030 is all about. Sustainability is a ruse designed to lure you into complacent acceptance of the underlying horror until it's too late. Read the documents.

- Mole Day 2020
-
There was a time when my interest in chemistry and such was quite a bit beyond that state in which it exists presently. During this time I read various threads concerning concepts and happenings and one of them is Mole Day.
Mole day is observed each year on October 23 from 6:02 am to 6:02 pm commemorating Avogadro's Number, 6.02 x 1023 ... a basic chemistry unit of measurement taught to me by Mrs Eadie F Cooper at Wagener-Salley High School round about 1971 or so.
Nowadays I could really give a rip as my technical interests surround machines and languages ... but back then I considered such things of paramount importance. I believe the various activities in which I participated with the various chemistry geeks were a part of the decline in that importance I felt for the entire shebang.
So when it comes to molecules, one mole is a mass in grams whose number is equal to the molar mass of the molecule aka "gram molecular weight". One mole of any substances contains Avogadro's Number of molecules or atoms of that particular substance as discovered by one Amadeo Avogadro who became known for this measurement posthumously.

- Pretty Boy Floyd
-
I was never one to pursue a life of crime. My exploits were more of a laziness, trash talking bent whereby I was in trouble for either mouthing off or crass commentary. This too abated later in my years as I grew weary of the same old bothers they caused me to incur.
Charles Arthur Floyd
aka Pretty Boy Floyd
February 3, 1904 – October 22, 1934
There was a gangster named Charles Arthur Floyd who went by the nickname "Pretty Boy" who robbed banks and gained widespread recognition for burning mortgage documents and other debt instruments during the course of his criminal exploits.
His positive image with the public didn't save him from being killed by a group of Bureau of Investigation agents leaad by Melvin Purvis. His decedent affairs likewise were a sideshow of publicity and photo opportunities which were utilized in the public dissemination of his end.
Pretty Boy Floyd has continuously been familiar in American popular culture. Like him or love him ... all too many of us have heard of him — either as notorious or tragic and even a victim of the widespread devastation and hardships of the Great Depression.
He lived a short life of a mere 30 years but impacted his world as very few have. That allure with the criminal doesn't really carry over to these times as the selfishness of today's criminal element render them more dastardly than anything else notable.

- Firmware Update Hell
-
I'm running a high end triband router which recently has been giving me no end of grief.
It all began with wireless channel drop offs which grew increasingly more frequent and ended with network latency out the yin yang.
First, I checked out the projected EOL for the hardware in place.
The technical data stated projected end of life after 5 years. We typically run desktop PCs a maximum of 4 years before they are considered to be needing replacement.
I curbed a lot of that with the purchase of a nice set of matching cooler master cases into which I install new equipment MOBO, CPU, Memory, peripherals, adapters, etc with the machine looking the same but effectively given totally new upgraded functional parts.
So ... with my 6 year old router refurb unlikely on my end I investigated my replacement options and found several newer models that would certainly fit the bill.
Then I read troubleshooting data for the router itself and found that most of my problems were being habitually suffered by those using the same make and model. I also noticed that the most effective solution for adding years to the equipment was to stick to older firmware revisions as the company is always looking to sell services and will sacrifice finite hardware resources toward that end.
After restoring a revision at a critical juncture just prior to the commencement of my various annoyances I find the functionality has improved by leaps and bounds.
I'm not saying that I've added years, or even that this is a long term fix. I just know I'm going to give it a try prior to blowing another $500 on yet another large home networking model.
We'll just have to see; but I'm glad I did the research prior to taking another big ticket plunge.

- World Statistics Day 2020
-
I am a very unlikely stats person. My math background was shaky throught my primary and secondary educations up into adulthood when I had the great epiphany of algebra with words, the various math properties and their interrelationships and lo and behold the spreadsheet and database management system where I too became the math wizard my sister always was.
So, I attribute all of this to simply being a petal on that late bloomer Dr Ted Rotz said I was and I am certainly fortunate that the computer came along and did a lot more than just equalizing the playing field. I finally had a competitive edge which was objective and could be demonstrated at any keyboard placed before me attached to the proper machine and software.
Lucky me. Thank you Dr Steve Lloyd. Thank you Dr Charlie Davis. Thank you my ex old best friend Darrell. You were all instrumental in making me the workaday world success I am today ... stats and all.
Today is World Statistics Day. It is an international observance celebrating statistics. It was created by the United Nations Statistical Commission and was first observed on October 20, 2010. It comes down every five years.
Inasmuch as I view the United Nations as both evil and unnecessary as well as a threat to life and liberty on the planet ... much like that subterfuge called BLM is to white people and The Republic everywhere; I'll stop here and just wish you a happy recurrence of this five year event.
To Hell with the united nations, their New World Order, and you foreign anuses occupying New York City. This goes double for you whining lying ass MARXIST BLM bitches.

- Mixed Memories of Tom Bosley
-
Back in my Happy Days era Tom Bosley was a fixture in my life. Recently out of my Andy Griffith "Opie Era" and not yet embarked for my hitch in the Navy I was still a relatively sociable young fat boy who had just shed some 170 pounds and was thinking about paring off with some nice young lady to get busy with responsibility and all things family.
Sadly, this was never to be and I'm afraid that my memories of Tom Bosley were sullied by his Jiffy Lube commercials. Back in the day I went to the Jiffy Lube location on Knox Abbott Drive at 12th Street in Cayce, SC. At that time it was run by a fellow named Walt who exuded confidence and he gained my trust early on resulting in a long and profitable lube engagement every 3000 miles or so.
Tom Bosley
October 1, 1927 - October 19, 2010
Alas when Walt left the establishment they were exposed for the utter buffoons they all were without a shred of mechanical aptitude much less an ounce of skill at the entire establishment.
When it became obvious that the only "service" they had to offer was some overpriced computerized schedule of so-called "maintenance" parts to be installed by those of more than just "questionable" skills I found myself pursuing other options.
It was during this period that Tom Bosley began hawking Jiffy Lube rip offs to the world and he and I came to a swift parting of fandom and company never to be reconciled in his (or my) lifetime.
Thomas Edward Bosley was an actor entertainer, and teevee personality best known for portraying Howard Cunningham on the 1970s ABC sitcom Happy Days. He did a stint on a program called Father Dowling Mysteries but by then had earned my disdain and subsequent boycott of his endeavors.
He was also known for a role he portrayed on Murder, She Wrote which was a favorite of my Mom's and I endured him for her sake.
Oh had he not pursued the Jiffy Lube propaganda gig I likely would still be a fan. However, we have to deal with what is and the fact of the matter is he spouted off a steady stream of lies about the J Team, their utter lack of competence, and that rip off Jiffy Lube remains to this day for the mechanically unattuned.
Boo !

- World Menopause Day 2020
-
Normally menopause is a term reserved for the decline of hormonal production in the female of the species. "World Menopause Day" is held every year on October 18 and is observed to raise awareness of the menopause and the support options available for improving health and wellbeing ... primarily for females who typically have a greater amount of suffering associated with hormone decline in biofeedback mechanisms.
There comes a time in the life of middle aged men which allegedly corresponds to menopause in a woman. This stage of life comes with the loss of sexual potency and a crisis of confidence and sometimes even identity as a male of the species.
This is not to be confused with the so-called transgender type who is a male who thinks he's a female inside or a female who thinks she is actually a male. These are deviations from the realities of genotype and involve phenotype whereby a person changes their appearance with various extrinsic applications such as makeup, dress, and even surgery.
The menopausal male is subjected to a condition called hypogonadism whereby the biofeedback mechanisms involved with male sexual response are insuficient to their existence.
Now then, regardless of your gender — which is a function of your chromosomal makeup and NOT how you feel about yourself you may find yourself subject to menopause and that which accompanies it in your life.
Knowing yourself is your best coping mechanism for the condition and this knowledge surrounds that reality of gender which must be recognized up front. Otherwise you can just 'trans out' and take synthetic hormones for the rest of your self effacing existence and configure your phenotype to represent that fake female or fake male you "feel" is you.
Gender identity is a function of chromosomal makeup not some fantasy made up between your ears.
Good luck with all of that. My personal preference in gender identity revolves around that who I am in reality, not some contrived flight of fancy invoked by that intrusive uncontrollable fantasy world I left behind so long ago.
Some psychology major can go prey on someone else's wallet.
