' PoliticsGirl' Goes After Trump's Air Disaster Presser
Jan 20: TSA director fired
Jan 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen
Jan 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded
Jan 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees
Jan 29: First American mid-air collision in 16yrs
I must apolgize. I've stated Trump and the knuckleheads around him would wreck this country by June 2025. However I far underestimated his and their abilities. Instead I now figure the timeline to be by or shortly after March 2025.

Yesterday I posted information for my readers on "The Federal Register" whereby folks could learn all about what's going on with our federal agencies.
However in order to be fully informed citizens should also take pleasure in reading about what's going on in our hallowed halls of congress. This is where the legislative sausage gets made. Fortunately for us the U.S. Congress is kind enough to provide us with this information almost daily. It's bundled into a PDF newsletter format entitled "The Congressional Record". Here you'll find all the exciting work our congressional leaders are doing.
Each are from ten to two hundred pages. Enjoy reading :-)
If you still find yourself with a little time left stop by The White House too

Why It's Important To Honor Your Debts (A Fairy Tale)
Repost
Once upon a time there lived a beautiful Queen with large breasts. Nick the Dragon Slayer obsessed over the Queen for this reason. He knew that the penalty for his desire would be death should he try to touch them, but he had to try.
One day Nick revealed his secret desire to his colleague, Horatio the Physician, the King's chief doctor. Horatio thought about this and said that he could arrange for Nick to more than satisfy his desire, but it would cost him 1000 gold coins to arrange it. Without pause Nick readily agreed to the scheme.
The next day, Horatio made a batch of itching powder and poured a little bit into the Queen's bra while she bathed. Soon after she dressed, the itching commenced and grew intense. Upon being summoned to the Royal Chambers to address this incident, Horatio informed the King and Queen that only a special saliva, if applied for four hours, would cure this type of itch, and that tests had shown that only the saliva of Nick would work as the antidote to cure the itch.
The King, eager to help his Queen quickly summoned Nick to their chambers. Horatio then slipped Nick the antidote for the itching powder, which he put into his mouth, and for the next four hours, Nick worked passionately on the Queen's large and magnificent breasts. The Queen's itching was eventually relieved, and Nick left satisfied and hailed as a hero.
Upon returning to his chamber, Nick found Horatio demanding his payment of 1,000 gold coins. with his obsession now satisfied, Nick couldn't have cared less and, knowing that Horatio could never report this matter to the King, and with a laugh told him to get lost.
The next day, Horatio slipped a massive dose of the same itching powder into the King's underwear. The King immediately summoned Nick.
The moral of the story...?
Always honor your debts.<

HUMOR: Now That I'm Older

Walking can add minutes to your life.
This enables you at 85 years old to spend
an additional 5 months in a nursing home
at $7000 per month.
My grandpa started walking
five miles a day when he was 60.
Now he's 97 years old and we
don't know where the hell he is.
I do have flabby thighs,

I joined a health club last year ...

A Word On Committees
Repost
I've been around the block a few times so it's humorous to me when I hear some committee, team or focus group came up with some idea or another.
When I worked in radio we had two number one rated radio stations in Allentown.
When I worked in radio we had two number one rated radio stations in Allentown.
How is that possible?
Well... each bought a survey from a different firm. Each firm would then survey a different specific area knowing signal strength and type of followers in a region favored one radio station over the other. Hence both could be #1 via a predetermined outcome.
Much it is the same way with how committees work. Both politicians and businesses create these things to reinforce their desired outcome.
After being naive enough to sign up at the company I worked for, it wasn't belong before I figured this little scheme out. We were told, "well that's what second shift wants". Second shift was told, "well that's what first shift wants". Same goes for third shift and what they were told. Yeah, like we wouldn't talk amongst ourselves. When backed into a corner, management would come up with... "well while all the teams agreed, we can't get funding or corporate policy states... blah blah blah"
It makes thesuckers employees feel like they're part of the process.When committees are managed well, they produce the intended outcomes by those who create, lead and organized them.

Sorry Bob (Cell Phone Humor)
Repost
I am so sorry Bob. I've been riddled with guilt and I have to confess. I have been helping myself to your wife, day and night when you're not around. In fact, more than you. I do not get it at home, But that's no excuse. I can no longer live with the guilt and I hope you will accept my sincerest apology with my promise that it won't, ever happen again.
The man, anguished and betrayed, went into his bedroom, grabbed his gun, and without a word, shot his wife and killed her.
A few moments later, a second text came in: Bloody autospell !
I meant "wifi", not "wife"

So Many Confusing TV Services
Repost From 2018
Gee if there was only someone who could invent something where TV shows would be all in one place.
Duh.. Somebody Did.
It's Called Cable TV!
To me this whole fragmentation is one giant con which no doubt will end up costing lots more. This isn't a step forward. It's a giant leap backward. Just look at those prices and add them up. I'd bet anything most would sign up to any each of them only because they were interested in one or two shows each offered. Now breakdown the cost of each of the limited shows you'd be watching. It'll probably work out to $4 or $5 each.
Talk About A Con Job!
Each of these monster companies are withholding their best shows for themselves. All the while starving out existing cable company's channels which are practically barren of anything worth watching. At the same time putting the squeeze on cable companies forcing them to buy bundled crap even they wouldn't watch.
Look I get it. These guys are greedy pigs. But if you think for one movement most people like myself are going to end up paying $4 or $5 a show they're nuts. Sure there will always be fools who will fall into their trap where TV ends up costing them 2-4x's as much. However I don't see how there won't come a day consumers won't have buyers remorse if Cable TV should ever come to an end and no longer be available. And if you think internet providers aren't going to jack up prices when it does you're in for a rude awakening.
How The Old Business Model Was Better For Consumers
Having only three major networks allowed for better shows because of the concentration on them. Take a look back years ago when shows were able to pay for comedy writers, songwriters, orchestras, costume designers/makers and set designers for countless variety shows each and every week. Shows which aired nearly 26 episodes instead of 13 (with many skipping weeks in-between). Sponsors picked up the entire tab. When cable came along these behemoths started forcing cable customers to chip in even more. As if this wasn't enough to satisfy their greed they forced us to bundle and pay for channels they created few wanted.
Instead of literally hundreds and hundreds of TV networks where only 1 or 2 million viewers tune in for a program there once were millions upon millions watching each. This now means advertisers have to spend tons more money all spread out just hoping their message will be seen. So too was a time consumers didn't have to spend wads of money for 90% of the crap TV we're never going to watch.
Now it's finally come down to this. These companies want to eliminate the middlemen (cable and local TV broadcast stations) so they can get and keep all the loot directly for themselves. Will people allow themselves to be taken hostage?
Probably--but I won't be one of them.
57 Channels?
Gotten a whole lot worse since 1992, hasn't it?

Trump's DISGUSTING Stunt Over Los Angeles Fires
I want to make a couple of other points. LA has two 3 million gallon storage tanks. As they've been empytied generators are trying to put pumps back online to refill them. When you have 1,000's of fire hoses nothing going to be able to keep up. Santa Ana winds have always been there In this case some as high as 100 MPH (Hurricane force begins at 74 MPH) throwing sparks miles away. Anybody who thinks any amount of humans can overcome what nature has thrown at us is a idiot. We're almost like bugs crawling on the face of the Earth as far as nature is concerned in the large scheme of things. People at all levels are working their ass off trying really hard. I'm disgusted by both media or politicians who speak otherwsie. If this country can't do better for one another I see a very dim future in what lays ahead. This country is slowly turning into one which I no longer wish to recognize except for the dedicated people trying to hold it together. Although they, it seems ever in decreasing numbers.

The REAL Reason Prices Are Going Up
Repost From 2021
Always blame it on the saps trying to sustain themselves on substandard wages. Just pay them enough to keep them thinking if they work longer and harder everything will get better down the line. Give em a 3% raise. Inflate prices 5%. One big con I tell ya.

Everyone's Ephemeral
Repost
What if I told you the actual percentage of people who will die at some point is 100%?
I suppose that comes as no surprise, but according to this table there about 80 ways to check out. This table seems to imply no one dies from getting old. Great news for those who don't want to die from old age, eh?
With that said, why do some people act like they are special and death will never happen to them? That they are immune in some way. Do they not realize that nearly 8 in 10 people will not make it to 65 and beyond?
Would it not be better to live their lives as if this day could be their last?
If society would adapt this attitude it would go a long way in ending greed, indifference to others and all the other things that short sightedness implies.
There was never a building built. A fortune made. A business established. A government formed. A people conquered in battle nor a human that has not perished.
I think a lot of people need to recognize that today is tomorrows yesterdays.

January We're Closest To Sun Why So Damn Cold?
We’re three million miles closer to the sun in January
than we are in July. So why isn't it hot?
I found it interesting--globally speaking--in January the Earth receives 7% more rays then in July. Hence why I thought the Northern Hemisphere would be a more temperate place to live in.
AH...BUT IT IS NOT.
Check out the article for the reason why.
