Today's Tids Issue
3,918
For Plumbers:
I
remember when I first got a cell phone 30 or so years ago, I
told the President of a company I represented that I’d get one but I was not
giving him my phone number. I never gave it to him and he never called. After
all, a car was a peaceful, no grief haven. Now employers are asking employees
if they want to have microchips embedded in their bodies? We used to live in
happy ignorance, now the knowledge true and not true at all is rampant across cyberspace
and at everybody’s fingertips. The plethora of information turns generally pleasant
people into blocs of hatin’ on others. Nothing gets accomplished because
resistance groups supporting minority issues can be grown and matured in an
instant from a minutia of widely circulated gossip. Then of course there is the
growing lack of ethics, morality and respect for others. But, I’m not talking
about ethics today, just the growing access to excuses to dismiss them. I’m
going out to my car. Don’t call me.
I
wasn’t originally going to get brain surgery, but
then I changed my mind.
There’s
gotta be a lot of hate for Trump goin’ on in the bowels
of the bureaucracy. These leaks just keep on coming. I’ve never seen anything
like it. Isn’t anything private anymore?
That
new cover of Newsweek is pretty disturbing. For one thing, it
shows him with an open bag of Cheetos on his lap and that’s supposed to infer laziness
and shallowness. Gadzooks! Shows you how little these elitist, living-in-a- cocoon
editors know. What has this crazy, biased national media come to. Aside from my
personal distaste at the insult to all fine Cheeto eaters, it is terrible injustice
to a President of the United States, like him or hate him. Trump is working hard
to rid the country of the disturbing progressive policies of the Obama admin. He
must be making progress, became that’s when his anti-forces have to resort to
childish noncancer for unsubstantiated ridicule. But, the seven remaining
readers of the magazine will love it and will email it everywhere. The headline
over the demeaning pic is “Lazy Boy”.
The
Question:
A lot goes on around the world every day, and
sometimes we miss it all as it is obscured by sensationalized headlines. Name
five important news events for the past week.
The
Headlines:
--July Adds 209K Jobs; Number Beats Wall Street Projection
Of 180K; Unemployment Drops To 4.3%; Trump Says US Will Do Better; Dow Open
Higher.
--Toyota And Mazda to Build $1.68 Billion Plant In
US That Would Create 4,000 Jobs.
--Roaring Fire Creeps Up The Sides Of Dubai’s 86
Story “Torch Tower”.
--Sessions Says he and his department will Squash
Leaks; Many Leaks Are Serious Felonies.
Unnamed Pentagon Official Says NK could Have
Hydrogen Bomb In 18 Months.
--West Virginia Governor withes From Dem To repub.
--New Hampshire Congressional Group Irked At Leaked Trump
Phone Call To Mexican Prez Calling Beloved Sate: “Drug-Infested Den”.
--Israeli Pm Netanyahu’s Son Facing Indictment Over
Dog Poo Negligence.
Some
days when driving I look atop the street light stanchions
for cameras wondering which branch of government is watching my every move.
“Torch”
Tower? Yikes!
Dog
Poo
caper in Israel? Zowie.
I
know you don’t care, but I’m going to tell you anyway.
Yesterday morning when Tom Brady stepped upon the practice field, hordes of
smiling New Englanders stood ready ready to say Happy 40th Birthday,
Tom. Several Goats were released upon the field before him. He smiled. Why
Goats? Goat is an acronym for “Greatest Of All Time.”
It’s
tough watching some friends get old and deal with the utter
frustration of losing one or more normal functions typically part of
comfortable living.
I
think America’s got talent is getting old. There’s a growing
sameness to magicians, acrobats, dancers and singers. Last night there were
some really awful acts, and many average performances. Actually, I liked he
South Korean card magician, who in the end got axed. I also liked the creative magicians
Tony and Jordan. Frankly they were more refreshing than just about any of the
performers. Maybe magicians have jumped the shark there. There are a lot of
very young female singers with large voices, who basically saound pretty much
the same to me. Yet they always get raves primarily due their youth. So last
night they kept the roller skating bro-sis duo Billy and Emily English, who
were good, but I wonder what they can do different next. Celine Tam, the 9-year-old
singer, was the recipient of guest host Laverne Cox’s Golden Buzzer. (9 yo
singers are good at getting the “GB”, and Celine was the second That I’ve
seen.) Charismatic Comedian Preacher Lawson was good and I believe he has
staying power. Mike Young an older singer who can belt it out, made it, but I
fast forwarded half way through. Diavilo is a head spinning acrobat act, that
was big and grand but seemed out of focus ot me. Brobots Mandroidtz, a lively
creative Hip-Hop dance group made it too, and they will be entertaining.
Another dancer, Oscar Hernandez, a large sized choreographer had the audience
howling, and he was pretty good…once. Missing out was The Human Cannon Ball
Bello Nock, a good entertainer who last night did it all with a daring act. But,
but once you see him, fired into the air what’s next? BTW, the “Plus-Sized” pole dancer is one of
those curiosities, and a one and done act I Fast forwarded). I don’t understand
how Tony and Jordan got axed. I’d watch them again and again
I
think it is time to change the pictures on the On Line Version
to the Tids. I’ll let you know when worldviewetc.blogspot has a fresh coat of
paint.
There
two opposing arguments on the Mueller empaneling of a Grand
Jury. One: Trump must be guilty n\of something, or he would not have called for
the grand jury. Two: Special Prosecutors always call for a Grand Jury at about
this time in the process. What you believe is all about what paper you read or
TV news channel you watch.
Why
print Maduro’s rejections of accusations against him and his
phony election? It’s like getting the RI Congressional Delegation opinions on
anything Republican. Useless.
Leaking
is a bigger national pastime than just the undermining of activity
at the white House. Just today we learn of the “Leaked” next Game of Thrones
episode and leaked information on details of yet-to-be announced iPhone 8. I think leaking of anything private s
disgusting.
If
leaks are felonies, does that mean that journalists are
recipients of stolen goods?
I
think Google search has lost its fast ball.
Grand
Juries are supposed to be 100% private and entirely leak
free. We’ll see how that works out in this era of loose lips.
I
went to the doc after I had swallowed food coloring. He said
I’d be okay, but I felt I had dyed a little inside.
Reading
Between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--The Dark Tower borrows from everybody and the reassembling
on screen does not work at all, at least for critics who basically hate it. But
audiences will flock to adventure, over the top hero films like this one about
defending the Dark Tower which basically holds the universe together.
--On the other hand, the critics love Detroit
directed by H-Wood insider favorite Kathryn Bigalow. It’s about exposing police
brutality is all we need to heat up the summer. It’s about the police and the dark civil unrest of 1967 in Detroit.
--Columbus looks interesting. It’s about beautiful space
and minds that it enfolds. A renowned architect scholar falls ill during a speaking
engagement in the small s city Columbus Indiana known for its modern
architecture. He is stranded there, but while visiting a library he meets a
young woman who is an architectural enthusiast. A relationship grows. The
architecture of the city serves as comforting space for reaching insights into
the man’s estrangement with his farther and her inability to leave Columbus and
Mom.
--Finally, a mystery. Two FBI agents, one a rookie,
investigate the mysterious death of a young girl on a Native American
reservation. Chill and thrill are two descriptive words.
The
Answer:
10. Whistle Blown On Venezuela Vote Rigging. 9. Pakistan (6th largest country)
Prime Minister Resigned. 8. Britain Held Its Biggest IRA Trial In Years – Notorious
Member of Continuity IRA, Garan Maxwell.

on antimicrobial peptides naturally occurring in immunity systems. 6. Two Lost Treasures Recovered – the long

India, with more expected. 4. McCain
Torpedoes ObamaCare repeal. 5. Hamburg
Germany shaken By Islamist Knife Attack. North Korea Tests Scariest Missile
Yet. 1. Like a John Le Carre novel, Viet Nam Staged A Cold War Style Kidnapping
of a wanted Vietnam oil executive off
the streets of Berlin.
Well,
looks like a nice low temperature weekend. I might have
to get out of the car. It gets hot in there.
Love
your basking, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!
