- World Day for International Justice 2020
-
The International Criminal Court has been sanctioned by the United States over decisions regarding Afghanistan ... and the actions of individuals who would use it's resources capriciously against US military and political leaders.
Personally, I don't think any organization has the right to invade the sovereignty of the United States for any reason in the absence of war crimes ... and simply contriving accusations as vendetta or for the convenience of an organization attempting to meddle in our affairs and showboat simply do not qualify.
The United States is not a member of the ICC because of concerns of their officers deliberately formulating charges against US Nationals.
Given the dismal state of jurisprudence in general AND particularly in Europe we are just as well removed from this leftist blight and I applaud the Trump administration for declining to participate in an obvious travesty of justice which is the International Criminal Court and that inherent crook ass element they incorporate and try to force on the rest of the world.
World Day for International Justice, aa Day of International Criminal Justice aka International Justice Day is an international day noted by some throughout the world on July 17 as part of an effort to recognize the faulty errant system of international criminal justice.
July 17 is the date of the adoption of the treaty that created the International Criminal Court. The United States does not subscribe to this body because they incorporate a number of proven legal charletans. Other countries such as China, India, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Qatar and Israel do not subscribe to it as well.
So take the International Criminal Court and shove it up the ass of the European Union and leave the United States out of this very poor joke made of criminal justice and international relations.

- Daddy enjoyed the music of Kitty Wells
-
When you lose a parent you grasp for fragments of them in your mind because it's so important. After all, when we pass our physical existence ceases and our earthly existence is primarily in the minds of others.
My daddy was a fan of country and western music. I once thought he had no feeling for music at all until a fateful day I made a child's mistake ... and joined a record club.
Yes, for a mere penny I joined the RCA Record Club in Aragona Village, Virginia Beach, Virginia and they sent a bunch of albums for free — so I thought.
The corresponding obligation to purchase a number of additional albums was of course lost on my child's understanding of contractural agreements, but dad kept the subscription and fulfilled it with a number of country and western titles which he listened to with obvious enjoyment.
He had brought back a Telefunken stereo from the Mediterranean and I swear it was the highest fidelity music I had ever heard ... and to this day the sound quality remains high in my mind for quality.
One of those performers was Kitty Wells. This period was in her 'heyday' so to speak and the winsome young country girl singing honky tonk stuck in my mind for years because this was music that my father could relate to ... music that he obviously enjoyed.
Ellen Muriel Deason was known professionally as Kitty Wells and she was one of many performers which caught my daddy's fancy in my youth.
She was a pioneer who gained icon status among the country and western crowd and had a number of hits such as the ladies admonition It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels.
She was topping charts before I even knew what a chart was.
So, I take note of Kitty Wells. She passed on this day in 2012 at age 92 as the results of a stroke.
I noticed that her early photographs always revealed an easy smile. In those taken later she was conspicuously not smiling. I sometimes wondered why.
Hers was a long noteworthy run by a lady who sold albums to people like my dear old daddy ...
For that she holds a special place in my heart. The fact that she rose to the top of her game and was the mistress of all she surveyed for a time is neither here nor there.

- The leftist libtard mistake called Twitter
-
On this day in 2006 one of the biggest mistakes in social media was born. That launch was twitter, which has grown into the very hallmark of censorship, libtard political manipulation, and dirty dealing underhanded meddling in freedom of speech and ideas.
This micoblogging microcosm of sheer turd existence aims for you to get as many 'followers' as possible while they manipulate what you choose to think and how you choose to express yourself.
They have an amalgam of abbrieviations and hastag entitites which obfuscates those libard manipulations and the general consensus is that it is a passe culture of those who simply refuse to give it up as though it has something meaningful to offer when it doesn't.
The platform will be the death of the english language as evidenced by the high school harry level of grammar and syntax displayed by their users trying to appear intelligent in a limited string of characters.
Get real twits.
Tweeting is not for the intellectually or academically spirited. It is a bastion of bad grammar and stupidity overseen by a group of nazi leftist democrats who would just as soon send your opinions to the gas chamber as look at you.
Twitter has caused this die-hard Trump supporter to lose respect for Donald Trump the man because I decline to think anyone who would grace twitter with their presence has ANYTHING on the ball.
Boo Twitter.

- Franklin Graham's Birthday 2020
-
In my childhood a fixture on the television was the late Reverend Billy Graham, a Protestant televangelist who held numerous crusades for which my mother had quite a bit more than a passing affinity.
His son is William Franklin Graham III who was born on this day in 1952.
He followed in his father's footsteps as a Protestant evangelist and missionary.
He was likely influenced by his mother, Ruth McCue Bell Graham who was an inspirational woman who passed in 2007 and for whom I held a great abiding respect.
She was a favorite personality I would engage in various writing, sound bytes, and video clips over the years and she lent strength to me in times of personal trouble and sadness.
Franklin Graham frequently engages in Christian evangelism and is not one to hold his tongue in the political arena.
He is president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) as well as Samaritan's Purse, an international Christian relief organization.
Rev Graham became an age of accountability Christian in 1974 and was ordained in 1982.
He is a public speaker espousing his Christian ideology and conservative views.
He is also quite the prolific author with a library of works presently available.

- Remembering the late Bob Crane
-
Robert Edward Crane was an actor with a radio backghround who played the drums. He starred in a television comedy set in a German prisoner of war (POW) camp during World War II called Hogan's Heroes and it enjoyed some success back in it's heyday.
The show always held a special place in my heart because it was the first television program I had ever seen in color. It seems that my father had purchased a color television while we were living on Hawthorne Circle in Hanahan, SC and as soon as he plugged it in and turned it on there was the intro to Hogan's Heroes with the snow and the blue night cast to the titles and oh, it was a thrilling moment for me personally.
He did appearances on the various television programs of the era such as The Dick Van Dyke Show and The Donna Reed Show prior to Hogan's Heroes
Other media ventures such as The Bob Crane Show weren't nearly as successful and he faded from my short term memory except for the syndicated episodes I sometimes encountered.
His ending was one of violent and perverse circumstances wherein he was bludgeoned to death while naked in his bed with the crime remaining unsolved.
I recall reading about the tragedy while I was on active duty and later there were television programs featuring the circumstances as well. They spoke of the chief suspect being a man who was something of a gadfly in Crane's life to whom he referred to as a 'groupie' but it's all a blur and I didn't really follow a lot outside of my Time and Newsweek subscriptions in the Navy.
Regardless, I always thought that Bob Crane went down hard and needlessly in that kink which hides behind those curtains of behaviors we don't show to others. The real tragedy of it all is the fact that they couldn't find who did it and I am left feeling that the controversy was needless in the life of a fellow so utterly uncontroversial as Bob Crane until that time.
Too many like to get into the business of others. I prefer to perhaps admire from afar and leave others alone.

- I've always avoided Seances
-
Though I have dabbled in magick as an amateur until that fateful midnight that it scared the crap out of me I have been careful to avoid two things:
ouija
seances
These two items of paranormal interaction have been cautionary tales throughout my life to the point that I would not risk actual interaction.
My spiritual upbringing and religious experience has taught me that evoking demons and interaction with sorcerers, witches, familar spirits, and so forth are serious matters according to the commandments of God and therefore sins of the spirit. Furthermore, I have witnessed ouija sessions that ended badly for the participants and I have an ability to benefit from the experiences of others ...
Particularly when they are presented graphically in videos with hideous aftermaths that caused shudders.
Then we have the so-called psychic mediums on the television who represent themselves as those who channel the dead with messages for the living.
I watch these programs in light of those readings which forbid their practice in life because they are interesting from a correlation of what the participant walks away feeling they understand.
So when I face the White Throne judgement, I hope that the one true God will not hold these transgressions against me because it was indeed television programming.
I just cant make myself go there in active participation and utilize some ouija board. Any invitation to a seance will be declined for those same trepidations I feel.
Some of us do not feel the need to tempt God or fate in pursuit of some earthly thrill.

- 7-11 Free Slurpee Day is canceled due to COVID-19
-
When I was a child I frequented the 7-11 store near my home in Hanahan, SC. Often times I would buy a frozen drink called 'Icee'. This product evolved into another manifestation called 'Slurpee' but it remains essentially the same frozen drink product from my childhood.
Today is supposed to be Free Slurpee Day at participating stores of the 7-11 chain in North America. 7-Eleven's Free Slurpee Day is canceled due to COVID-19 like so many of the other wussies in retail, the mainstream media, and local and federal government agencies.
I don't feel that I will ever contract coronavirus due to that prophylaxis I have provided to myself during the so-called "pandemic".
So many of us now feel there is some ulterior motive behind this declaration. The democrats have taken it as an opportunity to get everybody wanting entitlements and handouts with unemployment benefits eclipsing wages earned by those receiving them in a rather blatant move to "buy" votes ... which is ALL they're good for.
I've heard speculation that the lockdown in effect is an attempt by the government to "count us" though I feel this interpretation to be rather dubious at best.
So you can still get that free Slurpee via contact of the 7-11 chain but the underlying mess is the problem here.
I am one who believes we should have never had a shutdown. Furthermore, we should have expelled all Chinese nationals who are not citizens and nuked China right about the Wuhan Province and Tiananmen Square as well as those strongholds occupied by the rulers of the blight on the face of the earth which is mainland China.
The consequences for releasing this plague on the world have been grossly inadequate.

- Nikola Tesla Day 2020
-
Today is the birthday of Nikola Tesla, one of the most brilliant scientist, inventor, visionary who has ever lived thus far on the planet.
For this reason, the day has been proposed as "Tesla Day" or "World Tesla Day".
Some scientific entities celebrate the day informally now, as I do.
When you discover everything the man had to offer the world such as "free energy", yet was supplanted by the money of competitors who would steal his work and call it their own or worse suppressed in the name of the profits of the selfish few ...
It is easy to see that his was a life's work that was important not only to those in his time but also to the future.
How could we allow his work and patents to be stolen in an effort to keep us on fossil fuels at the behest of the military industrial complex?
Upon his death his papers were confiscated by the FBI ... simply because they could.
This is the travesty of the United States where we remain under control of those who commandeer our tax dollars and rob us blind of every improvement opportunity we might have had over the past century.
How long will we allow this to continue ?

- Mary K Letourneau Passes
-
We know little of the motivations surrounding those emotional aspects of humanity. Appearances may be deceiving when confronting matters of the heart ... and indeed who is to say "what is" and "what isn't" when love and sex come into play.
Part of that trendy froth which used to permeate the main stream media and it's never ending pursuit of minding everyone's business was Mary K Letourneau who was a teacher convicted of second degree rape of a child, one Vili Fualaau who was a preteen at that time in his life.
I remember her flailing plea and the appearance of contrition by this woman who only became caught with the child in an automobile getting it on ... then married this kid after bearing his child.
She was imprisoned from 1998 to 2004.
In 2005 she wed the boy and they remained married for 14 years. The photographs circulated of her regarding this apparent jailbait conquest were at once halting in their stark representation of the cougar and her prey.
Letourneau died of colon cancer on July 6, 2020 near Seattle, libtard capital of the world. She was 58 years of age.

- The Urban Jungle
-
I am an urban dweller, one who seeks the creature comforts of my 3.5 ton air conditioner in the hot summer months, existing primarily indoors, indulging those technical pursuits which still interest me, and pretty much laying low outside the high profiles of those who seek that notoriety for which I no longer have any wish.
My day is filled with coding, creating various pictoral representations of things, and pursuing my activites of daily living on the side.
It's a rather drab life in my opinion, but I prefer it to the wide open tap dance in which I have been engaged in the past.
There are stark realities to growing older. I don't have that drive which once sent me hither, thither, and yon in pursuit of things social and/or sexual. I don't really have a goodly amount of energy, but my new physician has assured me this will change when I get on the testosterone shots we have in the works.
It seems my lab work qualifies me once again.
All I live for anymore is taking care of mama and seeing that she has nothing lacking in the way of those things I can do ...
You know, cut the lawn, accompany her to various venues, and perhaps grabbing a spot of lunch together.
As for the rest of you, if you're not associated with work you are a blur in my peripheral vision as I tend to those matters which I feel are significant.
I don't begrudge your existence but don't get in my way.
This is me. I may be old, but like the Terminator guardian in Genisys I'm not obsolete by a LONG shot.

- World Chocolate Day 2020
-
I once was a chocoholic. I would eat great masses of chocolate in various forms with considerable relish. I was a fan of Ghirardelli double chocolate hot cocoa mix which I would stir into warm milk or even hot water and chug.
Alas, all of this was not without consequence. There were adverse effects on my metabolism and skin. I eventually found myself moderating to the point that I only occasoinally permit myself the indulgence I once saw practically daily.
Still, it's one of my favorite flavors.
Today is World Chocolate Day, aka International Chocolate Day in some circles. It is held each year on July 7 with some held on the 9th.
It is primarily a day to consume various chocolate confections, bakery goods, and drinks.
In the US we observe a National Chocolate day on October 28. Confectioners in the US also state September 13 as International Chocolate Day.
Regardless of the day you choose, chocolate has been around a long time and is here to stay. I love the taste but the sugar typically included with it reeks havoc on my metabolic syndrome. Carob nibs are my alternative of choice becuse they are healthy with much less sugar.
Enjoy !

- National Fried Chicken Day 2020
-
Another National Fried Chicken Day is upon us bringing thoughts of eating gamecock and other foods of the observance.
Yes, the notion of fried chicken has been engrained into my psyche from childhood and I remember crying when chickens were prepared from live birds to the frying pan only to have me devour them as though I never experienced any tears whatsoever.
I suppose that the citified boy which was the grandson of Ida Lou Whetstone Williamson simply was confused in the food chain principles which we still observe.
I wasn't a "baby" just "tender hearted".
National Fried Chicken Day goes down on July 6 each year and there is no information regarding how or when it actually began.
I suppose Colonel Sanders may have influenced it ... but that is mere speculation.
So get out there and grab your bird, dredge it in flour and seasoning and fry it up in observance of this, your National Fried Chicken Day.
Cheers !

- P T Barnum
-
When I was a child I was much more interested in circuses, going to the fair, and other manner of similar entertainment choices which are still available on occasion.
Phineas Taylor Barnum
July 5, 1810 – April 7, 1891
PT Barnum was much more of a personal interest at that time when I was a child and my thoughts traversed the gamut of fantasy and entertainment was a primary concern in my existence.
Phineas Taylor Barnum was a businessman, showman and entrepreneur specializing in entertainment promotion turned politician, author, publisher, and philanthropist.
His main claim to fame was founding the Barnum & Bailey Circus and becoming the legislative sponsor of 1879 Connecticut anti-contraception law.
He is also remembered for a number of hoxes which he promoted and it is said that he coined the phrase "There's a sucker born every minute" even in light of a lack of proof in historical documentation.
His circus business was started when he was 60 years old and ended up being the source of that fame he has enjoyed throughout the years.
He established "P T Barnum's Grand Traveling Museum, Menagerie, Caravan & Hippodrome" in 1870. This was a traveling circus, menagerie, and museum of "freaks" which did business under many other names over the years.
He was married twice and fathered four children. His second marriage was to a woman 40 years younger than he and ended in 1891 upon his death at home from a stroke.
He is interred in the Mountain Grove Cemetery of Bridgeport Connecticut which is a facility of his own design.

- Independence Day 2020
-
Today is Saturday, July 4, 2020, aka Independence Day, aka as simply The Fourth of July.
Independence Day is a federal holiday in the United States marking the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
In these days of failed patriotism by leftist individuals we who remain patriots observe the day with fireworks, parties and get togethers, concerts, barbecues, picnics, parades, and various sporting events.
For those who don't know, this was the day in 1776 that the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress.
There was a time when this would not have needed to be said but with our failed education system which indoctrinates leftist ideology instead of teaching facts and figures it goes without saying that a major adjustment is coming down the pipe that concerns respect for The Republic, law and order, and conservative viewpoints.
I hope you're on the right side of history. Get ready for the day of reckoning because the conservative right isn't going to take this desecration of our country without severe consequences for those who would undermine and usurp who and what we are ...
Foreign nationals be damned. That goes for you George Soros and your slimy low life nazi ilk.
