Wake Up AMERICA

The great thing about the internet is that most of the shit is FREE and all that stuff that people pay for...  well, a lot of us simply don't need it.  For example, I watch and listen to FOX News every morning and the reason why I do it is not just because it is free with my purchase of a ROKU device and WIFI access, but that it does not keep news from me like CNN and CBS like to do.  However, FOX News is selling subscriptions to this new service that provides all sorts of special programs, interviews, and investigations...  I ain't about to buy none of that shit...  if it ain't free it ain't worth having after I have paid my initial setup fees.

Right now, I am zoning out to classic music from the 60's and 70's with minimal commercials and when they run a commercial it is almost as brief as being constipated.  My wife hates most if not all of my graphic illustrations...  but, she ain't here...  you catch my drift?

Hell no...  I don't act like I am 73...  nor do I act like I am 18 or even 25...  I am retired and free, living large on SS and a few investments.  I ain't wealthy or even well off...  I am comfortably numb financially...  living only on what I need overlooking that which I want or used to want.

I eat dinner at Cheddars in Knoxville and for $13,00, I can get an 8 oz Salmon filet perfected blackened, along with rice, baked potato, and a cup of broccoli...  I eat half and take the other half home and have two meals for $6.50...   plus tax...  cannot forget that.

This morning we went to Perkins about 8 miles from the house and I had an EVERYTHING OMELETTE with breakfast potatoes and 3 buttermilk pancakes that were 6" in diameter...  all for $13.50 and that included all the coffee that I wanted to drink.  Again, I cut the omelette in half and divided the breakfast potatoes in half as well for a second breakfast tomorrow...  and then, I will eat a pancake each morning for the next three days with jelly...  OR, a total of 5  $3 meals even though some meals are more filling than others.

If I did not enjoy eating either meal, I would not have purchased them in the first place or ordered them once and selected something else the next time.  Why live in a bigger city and pay more for less when eating out?

All of Biden's drunken sailor spending is not going to change that much other than the restaurants not being able to find help because of extended unemployment insurance benefits.  Which is RATHER STUPID if one wants to grow the NATIONAL ECONOMY...

While the USA is falling over backwards for Black Lives Matter Crap, and trying to defund the police, and teach Critical Race Theory in public schools, and Cancel people and things that don't agree with their mindset rather than simply accepting opposing views....  WELL...  the frigging CHINESE are building up their military and building up their economies and don't give a shit about equality or equity or whatever and paying people to stay home and not work and have made the statement THAT CHINA WILL CONTROL THE USA IN FIFTEEN YEARS...

Fifteen years from now is 2035 and I'll be 88 years old and I'll be DAMNED if I want to learn Mandarin...

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

Relocation Frenzy

 As soon as I discovered that CNN, CBS, NBC, and ABC were not providing their viewing public with both sides of the story that was balanced, I switched to FOX NEWS who was doing a better job of that.

While I was raised a liberal, I get OFFENDED when the NEWS is censored as I perceive myself to be smart enough to hear both sides and decide which side I want to follow.

Consequently, those other media outlets will no longer get my viewing support and I believe that more and more Americans are agreeing with me.

Meanwhile...

there is a group of us...  that is to say about 50% of the current population, who, do not particularly care about the direction the rest of the country is heading.

WE SUPPORT THE POLICE

WE SUPPORT OWNING FIREARMS

WE SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION

WE SUPPORT LEGAL IMMIGRATION

WE SUPPORT WORKING FOR A LIVING

WE SUPPORT A STRONG MILITARY

However...  I also like to smoke a joint every now and then and reflect back upon the 1960's when my fellow hippies and I had no cares in the world except avoiding the VIETNAM War.

What I am seeing now is,

companies and people relocating from those Democratic managed States because of two basic issues:

• Increase in Taxes
• Defunding the Police

Personally, I have no problems with defunding the police because I really do like to exceed the speed limits on the Interstate Highways and since CRIME is really low in where I am currently living, I see no need at all to have a bunch of cops riding around in their police cruisers intimidating the residents with their presence.

BUT...

I am not going to be a happy camper if those damn people who are leaving Democratic States come into this area of East TN and change the damn politics...  I am here because of the politics and because it is cheaper to live.

As far as I am concerned, they can relocate in Texas, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, and North Carolina...  just not here in East TN...  although, Memphis or Nashville would be ok...

Hypocrisy at its BEST

 

Biden says, 'I don't think the American people are racist,' despite finding 'systemic racism'

'I think the overhang from all of the Jim Crow and before that, slavery, has had a cost,' Biden said

A FOX News Headline reports...

I find this incredibly odd to say the least...  President Biden must think that everyone who is Democrats and automatically supports him regardless of his position or comments, IS STUPID....

It is impossible both logically and illogically for Americans not to be racist while at the same time they are being accused of living with systemic racism...  how does systemic racism perpetuate itself without the American people being racists?

Whoever is writing Biden's speeches needs to get their act together or someone needs to tell Biden to stop straying away from the prepared script...  

On the WHOLE, America will continue to be RACIST as long as we have?

• Black and White Churches
• Black and White Communities/Neighborhoods
• Black and White Social Clubs
• Black and White Colleges and Universities
• Black and White Cultural Centers

It is not just the WHITES that have to change...  BLACKS need to change as well...  and, until that happens, SYSTEMIC RACISM will continue to flourish in the USA...

UFO's: Three Theories

From FOX NEWS TODAY...

The former UFO program chief at the Pentagon, Luis Elizondo, detailed the three leading theories on where UFOs originated from and the five defining characteristics of UFOs that break the U.S.’s current understanding of the laws of physics.

During an appearance on "Fox & Friends," Elizondo, the former Director of ATTIP (Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program) said that the United States government applied the same methodology used in terrorism intel operations in regards to UFO’s and found that they are not only "real," but the information surrounding them is "compelling."

The Pentagon has presented three potential theories on the origin of UFOs.

The first "highly unlikely" theory purports that UFOs are secret U.S. technology that has flown under the radar due to a lack of communication between government agencies.

The second theory speculates that UFOs are "foreign adversarial" technology created without the intelligence of the U.S. government.

"This would be a huge intelligence failure of [the United States] because we’ve been technologically leapfrogged," said Elizondo.

Elizondo stopped short of concluding that UFOs could be alien technology when discussing the third and final theory.

"If it’s not ours and it’s not [another country] well, then it’s someone or something else."

Elizondo also outlined the five "unique observables" that help to distinguish UFOs from other identifiable aerospace technology.  READ MORE

CIVIL UNREST

Scientist predicted current U.S. protests and riots in 2010, says civil unrest may last 10-15 years
by Chris Melore
MOSCOW, Russia — The outbreak of civil unrest and rioting in many cities this year may seem like a spontaneous reaction to social issues, but one study says there’s nothing spontaneous about them. Despite the fact that the vast majority of protesters are demonstrating peacefully, scenes of looting and violence still mar these protests that are meant to be non-violent. One scientist is being credited with predicting in 2010 the turmoil being seen across the globe today.  TO READ ENTIRE ARTILE, CLICK HERE...

MEANWHILE... in the US of A...

Kamala Harris praises BLM, says ongoing protests are 'essential' for change in US
Harris praised the 'brilliance' and 'impact' of Black Lives Matter
By Sam Dorman | Fox News
Peaceful protests against racial injustice are critical for the nation's progress and help to keep law enforcement in check, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., said Friday.

"Nothing that we have achieved that has been about progress, in particular around civil rights, has come without a fight, and so I always am going to interpret these protests as an essential component of evolution in our country -- as an essential component or mark of a real democracy," the vice presidential nominee said during the NAACP's national convention.

She added that protests were "necessary" as "the people's voices must be heard, and it is often the people who must speak to get their government to do what it is supposed to do, but may not do naturally unless the people speak loudly -- and obviously peacefully."

Harris also praised the "brilliance" and "impact" of "Black Lives Matter," which has received media praise but also come under fire for promoting left-wing stances like opposing the nuclear family. "I actually believe that 'Black Lives Matter' has been the most significant agent for change within the criminal justice system," she said.  TO READ ENTIRE ARTICLE, CLICK HERE...

Selling Books

Maria Bartiromo

The new media outlet CNN started in 1980 in Atlanta, GA by Ted Turner who also owned the Turner Broadcasting Company.  In 1980, I was living and working in North Carolina while attending graduate school at Wake Forest University.  This was the first time that a media outlet was promoting 24/7 news broadcasting...  but, it made since because there were several companies that were operating 3 shifts of work and it provided those employees with NEWS whenever.

However, because it did not have that much substance to broadcast, CNN was quickly referred to as CHICKEN NOODLE NEWS.

At the time, I was pretty much focused on watching CBS because of Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather.

I have no idea when FOX NEWS started but I started watching it regularly sometime around 2000 because I began to notice that CBS and CNN were becoming politically biased and I did not think that was appropriate when presenting the news as those people should have been NEUTRAL.  And, the more I checked around, I discovered that FOX NEWS was not that biased...   checking out ABC and NBC as well.

HOWEVER, watching FOX NEWS has now left me with a concern because it appears that almost every program host or hosts have written a book and is using their time ON AIR to promote their book.  This gives them an unfair advantage over other authors who must rely on other conventional approaches since they are not working at FOX NEWS.

What got me going was watching Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo this morning and during the broadcast she advertised for her new book, THE COST...   Is this FAIR AND BALANCED for a new outlet?

CNN: Hurling Insults At Trump Supporters

CNN's Don Lemon claims Trump voters 

must have  'cognitive dissonance' 

to support such a 'bad person'

'They like the shiny objects. 

They like the racism. 

They like the misogyny'

FOX NEWS Reports - 28 August 2020

I did not know what COGNITIVE DISSONANCE was so I had to look it up, it means:  the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change.

An example of COGNITIVE DISSONANCE:

Cognitive Dissonance produces a feeling of mental discomfort leading to an alteration in one of the attitudes, beliefs or behaviors to reduce the discomfort and restore balance. For example, when people smoke (behavior) and they know that smoking causes cancer (cognition), they are in a state of cognitive dissonance.

What causes COGNITIVE DISSONANCE:
It may also happen when a person holds two beliefs that contradict one another. Cognitive dissonance causes feelings of unease and tension, and people attempt to relieve this discomfort in different ways. Examples include “explaining things away” or rejecting new information that conflicts with their existing beliefs.

It would appear that Don Lemon has COGNITIVE DISSONANCE when it comes to understanding and accepting the fact that people hold different beliefs that he holds, relative to President Trump and the Republican Political Party...

This is HIS PROBLEM that he is now trying to project on others who do not share his beliefs or political convictions.

If I am not mistaken, this is actually referred to as EXERCISING OUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS...
