Two Weeks After Hurricane Harvey

Footage From St.Martin After Hurricane Irma


Sad, just so sad. I have no idea how I'd deal with this--hope I never have to.

Facebook Memes The Russians Used

'The Daily Beast'-- "Facebook finally admitted that the Russians tried to weaponize the social network to sway the election. Here are some of the arms in that propaganda arsenal.

I can't tell you the amount of times I seen those on various posts. I can honestly say I found by far the greatest number of these were posted right on DT's Twitter account by those commenting. Even DT himself got in on the act retweeting one of the memes someone posted allegedly created by the Russians

Maybe some of DT's followers might want to reconsider before posting these.

I wonder how many thinking they are being all-American cheerleaders for Trump realize instead being used to help spread Russian propaganda. Course if someone likes what they say who cares if it's Putin poison, eh?

Of course I fully expect the hardened to be in denial accusing this being more leftie propaganda. Russians-- what Russians-- ain't no Russians. The whole thing is nothing but a "witch hunt". All them memes hating on snowflakes is American as apple pie. Certainly Putin wouldn't want drive a wedge between Americans. Why would he? He's not that kind of guy, right?

In the old days during war each nation used radio broadcast and dropped leaflets and continued to do so years after. Why is accepting each and every nation continue to do so up onto this very day via social media so difficult to admit?

We do it. They do it. Terrorists do it. Everybody does it. If it's done well enough some dupes will fall for it.

A Few Yucks I Came Across

What A Way To Travel !

'The Sun' (UK)
MANSION ON WHEELS The £1MILLION motorhome

Check it out on 'The Sun'. They have a cool video and bunch of pictures I'll tell you why I was drawn to this article. I have a story which relates to it.

Years ago my former boss and his brothers took an RV out west into the woods of Oregon. Like everyone else they dragged their car behind it on a trailer. They decided to go deep into the woods using back roads to camp. Most of them unpaved. They thinking nothing of it. When they finally arrived many miles later they got out and walked around to the back. Yeah you probably guessed it?

The car they had in tow was battered to the hilt. The windshield and hood looked like they came under machine gun fire. The side mirrors were hanging. Stones penetrated under the hood puncturing the radiator causing it to leak out completely. Needless to say how stupid they looked to other drivers on the way home towing a piece of junk looking like it was shot up. So not cool.


In An Unrelated Travel Story
A coworker of mine once flew out west for vacation. When he got there he rented a car to see the sights up close and personal. These were the days before GPS so he wanted to get a tourist map at the filling station before he set out across the Mojave desert. The attendant told him he didn't have one, but if he continued down the road and made his first right there would be an official tourist office. What he didn't tell him the first right down the road was 40 miles away. He made the right and about mile in came across a shack marked travel office. He parked walked up knocked on the door for several minutes till some scraggly looking old guy around 80 years old answered the weathered beaten door. Once inside the old timer told him he's the first he's seen in about a month. He then proceeded to scrounge around yellow boxes and finally produced a map for him. Not what he was expecting. Neither is what came next.

Returning to the main road in his rental, one horrific sand storm came up. Well he finally made it to his destination where he could return the rental. What he encountered next was one pissed off rental agent. Apparently the agent wasn't too pleased with him returning a car which had it's paint nearly all sand blasted off and the air filter clogged with sand.

So what have we learned kids?
(1) Never tow a car on stone roads behind an RV.
(2) Never use your own car if you can avoid it.
(3) Vacations can be filled with lots of unexpected adventure. Especially for those who decide to take a fun filled Caribbean cruise during hurricane season. And for those cruise passengers who end up in a airport during a snowstorm before making it to the ship. What a bummer, eh?

Why Do Some People Have To Be So Damn Ugly?

PHILLY.COM:
Philly TV anchor Nydia Han was nearly hit by a car and told 'This is America.'

I tried to embed her Facebook video but couldn't find a way to do it. Viewers of ABC6 Philadelphia know her quite well. Nydia is of Korean decent born right here in the good ole USA making here 100% American as you or I. She's a very intelligent fair minded professional but even she can become fed up. I urge people to check out her video.

What makes this interesting to me is the differences between responses on her Facebook which were nearly 100% positive as compared to the comments by turds on Philly.com. Here were a few of those (although the positive seem to outweigh the negative).
Me so horneeeey.

Why is this news? Some nobody reporter claims that someone was mean to her and it gets attention even though she has no proof it ever happened?

It's a great opportunity for this propaganda site to tell everyone how racist, sexist and xenophobic white men are.

Because she thinks she is special.

Ms. Han, will you speak up against quotas against Asians getting into college because they are Asian or will you keep you mouth shut because the liberal agenda trumps what is right?

These liberal snowflakes are easily offended anymore.... America needs to toughen up a bit. What ever happened to sticks and stones ...

The mainstream media puts a liberal "slant" (no pun intended) on the boring news -- and even non-news like this alleged incident -- in order to boost interest and thus advertising revenue.

Do you have proof that it actually happened? Even if it did, it's not newsworthy except for the fact that this liberal rag gets a chance to bash white people again!!!

Way to go INKY! True to form.- please, go out of business. Of course most of the conversation devolved into partisan bickering.

The point I'm trying to make here is anyone who chooses a career which puts them in the public eye is susceptible of becoming a punching bag. If we the public expect great minds to run this country, become reporters or entertainers fewer and fewer of the talent will choose to do so. Why should they when they can earn a decent living outside public view?

Each day that passes I find myself less tolerant of those who spew their ignorance. I strongly urge media and anyone else who allows such dissemination to end such practice. Everyone has a right to free speech, it's another to allow others to abuse that right to spread their sick hatreds and negativities. In so doing they become an accessory giving amplification to the worst who walk among us. Thus I urge PHILLY.COM to pull comments on this post like they do on others. Same goes with the all so many other sites that allow this kind of BS on various stories. I fail to see how this serves any good purpose.

Old Time Hoofers Doing Some Uptown Funk

This amazing video makes them look as trendy to today's music as each were back in their era. Music may change but these pro's prove they could handle anything back then... or now.


I enjoyed watching these old movie dancers over they years. After seeing this I have even greater appreciation of them then before. Gosh they sure had the moves !!
