Today's Tids Issue

For Fog"
The
fog horns blew this Friday morn, a comforting sound at
the calming dawn. The mist rolled up from our adjacent sea. Embraced me in
forgiving arms, giving comfort. There’s something special in that eerie
silence. It blots out the world and helps me see.
I
went from softly slumbering to disturbingly numbing
this morning. Unfortunately, this Tids may reflect my annoyance to health care
rhetoric. Why, if health care is good for everyone, are people taking sides? Where
is a good fog bank when you need it?
I
love to see a good friend formerly baring up to constant
pain smiling once again.
Numbing
Part: I read the front page of the local newspaper
with the big story an apparent attempt at trying to explain the senate healthcare
proposal versus the house and ACA. So, I’m reading this “helpful” news item and
I’m thinking, isn’t ACA in trouble? I mean Democrats as well as Repubs freely
admit there’s something wrong with the current system which could become a
serious, expensive mess for beneficiaries. Why isn’t this so-called helpful
explanation exercise giving us any information about why the new concepts may
actually keep health care alive, and more affordable? The analysis never stops to
consider for instance that perhaps open-ended Medicaid is a bad idea in the
long run and the new bill slows it down until it becomes controllable. What I
saw in this analysis was only suggestions of negative facts that help keep some
of the Dem hyperbole alive. This newspaper couldn’t have bias, could it? Nah,
these are journalists.
All
I ever ask for is all of the facts in news reporting. If
I want opinions, I’ll make them up.
Did
you see where globalist Eric Holder is thinking of running
for president? God help us.
Jack
Ma,
the super smart Rascally owner of Alibaba says, “China is shifty from exporting
to importing. China is going to be the world’s largest consumption place, and
that engine is going to drive the world economy.” Ma’s doing very well as the
stock as doubled in about five months. It could do even better as the eCommerce
engine for the largest “consumption” economy. There will be wrinkles to be
sure, and there is still that problematic state owned, state meddling
situation.
The
Question:
What are the top ten Auto insurance companies?
The
Headlines:
--Investors Are getting Cautious; Pull $7.7 Billion
from Equities; There Is A Little Flow Back Into Bonds; Markets Rebound to
Positive territory; April And May New Home Sales Revised Higher.
--Virginia Man Giving Top Secret Docs To China
Charged With Espionage.
--In Morning Interview Trump Tells Fox And Friends
That Mueller’s Staff Is Dominated By Hillary Supporters.
--California Bans State Travel To Texas, Alabama,
South Dakota And Kentucky Became Of LGBT Laws.
It
was sad learning about the recent IS destruction of the 12th
century Nuri Mosque. What is it with so many of these aggressive yet insecure
groups who have to rewrite history, or eliminate it all together?
One
of the coolest things I have seen in a while is
that new Google doodle (From yesterday, but still here today) that lets you write
songs instantly. Go to Google and click on the arrow. When it opens, move your
mouse icon around the screen and click randomly. The music begins. Take a few
seconds to watch what is happening and get a feel for it. You can then add more
notes, learn how to change keys and instruments, and joggle in new sound
effects. You may sit there for days. Amazing.
Did
you read where Johnny Depp was heard musing about the fact
that we haven’t had a good presidential assassination in a while? Why isn’t he
in prison? Frankly, I’d put hi there for some of his crappy movies.
I
think my sense of humor has gotten soggy in the morning
fog.
We
need writers who can figure out how to end their
stories. Too many of these TV series final episodes leave you hanging. I’ll
tell ya, it’s hard to finish a story. But you have to be aware of where you are
going when you first establish apparently unsolvable crimes or tenuous life
situations.
BTW,
did you notice that many of the big contributors to the
socialist takeover of the Georgia congressional seat were from Hollywood super
libs like Jane “I love communist Hanoi” Fonda and Rosie “Bush Bombed the twin towers” O’Donnell,
and other usual suspects like Jessica Lange, Sean Daniel, Connie Britton, Sam
Waterson and Kyra Sedgewick -- plus may others. Also, celebs like Alyssa Milano
were on phone banks for making door to door calls. Yup, real Georgia folks pounding the pavement
for America. Was the West Coast meddling in the local district election akin to
Russia besmirching the alleged Hillary campaign.
Do
you know what I hate? I hate it when I go out to walk
around my daughter’s property in the woods, and her husband yells to me, “Watch
out for the snakes.”
It
is disturbing that all of the Ivy League schools and many
professors from elite schools across the country threw their meager teaching
wages into the Ossoff pot. You have to wonder what they teach in class.
Oreo
“O’s
Cereal back on the shelves of Wal Mart, just in case you need a little stimulus.
On
that point, a black, student was testifying,
complaining about the one-sided education he received at the very prestigious
Williams college. He said he didn’t go to college to get one view, even though
he says he is on the left. “What good is it to know only one person’s view of a
story. Student coddler president Adam Falk thinks differently. He says students
should be protected from hurtful conservative ideas. Down at Emerson College in
Boston, another woman who had been at that “college of her Dreams” was basically
bullied out of school for being a conservative.
The
mist has lifted, but this has been dogged by the fog of
intolerant predisposition. Ain’t no comfort there.
In
one of the comic strips I read, the teens trying to figure
out how to spend their summer have opted to start a rock band. Their big
problem is that they are having trouble coming up with good song lyrics for the
current tastes in music…because they are all happy!
Reading
Between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--The Big Sick is a highly rated film that looks
similar to many I have seen. A Pakistani Born comedian, falls for an American
grad student attending one of his gigs. This complicates the life of the man as
his deeply Muslim parents have something else in mind. The girl contracts a
mystery illness, which has the comic tightrope walking between her parents an
his as he tries to help his lover get through the crisis.
--No plot and a heavy reliance on FX, makes this
latest edition of the Transformers, “The Last Knight Photos” pretty ordinary,
and has critics sleeping, with a decent but not great percentage of audiences liking.
--The best advice is probably to stay away from the
Big Batch. The undesirables of this US are dumped into a giant pen in the
wasteland dessert. The heroine realizes that the cannibal groups is a no-no as
she seeks to find friends. Big cast including Jim Carey Keanu Reeves and Suku
Waterhouse, and say the pundits, a fantastic score.
The
Answer:
I love my insurance company of 55 years, Amica. But
it didn’t make the list. Actually up here in New England, representative of the
companies listed below would agree that you can’t do better than Amica. OK, #10
is 21st Century. Next going up to #1 is AAA, followed by Nationwide,
USAA, Geico, Progressive, State Farm, All State and at #2 – Esurance! Number
one in the land, at least according to this survey is -- Liberty Mutual!
I
think this entire Tids has been a bit foggy.
Any
how,
have a wonderful weekend – E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
