Fighting back.

Today's Tids Issue 3,968

For a Friend who can not see, but in my heart will always be:

We know it was fourteen ninety-two,

When ole’ CC sailed that ocean blue.

But his course to Asia was so untrue,

The Bahamas came first into his view,

Giving me the pleasure of meeting you.

I don’t want to be sad this morning. Yet, there are events that bring on sadness. Those who have lived and loved with you, would always want you to see what’s bright and positive. So, I am officially kicking sadness aside, and only seeing the smiles, hearing the laughter that I have so vividly retained.

Too many of the jokes in the Tids are like a Pun-ishment.

When reading the ramblings of the so-called main stream media you get the impression that everybody in the country likes or has succumbed to the drumbeat of the progressive movement of Sanders and others. Yet, Fox News has just been named #1 Cable Network for the 63^rd consecutive quarter.

I don’t know about you, but I have noticed that a lot of normally quiet people are getting tired of Left wing name calling.

It appears that the biggest real problem that could affect future economic growth is finding skilled male workers who can pass a drug test.

Superbeets???????

Based on current soaring prices, I should be collecting Bitcoins. But, I wouldn’t know what to do with them when I got them.

One of the often-misinterpreted polling results is the one about “Is the Country heading in the Right/Wrong direction. The media who hate Trump will obviously attribute that wrong direction as a result of the President. The rest of the normal people will assess the disturbing direction to the blind acceptance of left leaning ideas not questioned by the media.

The word around Hollywood now that Weinstein has been neutered is that he has always been a bastard who men and women in the industry feared. Merryl Streep who has referred to America’s latest ogre as god, now says women who came out against him are true heroes. Let the backtracking begin.  

If “Bitcoins are the future of money” what happens to money?

One thing that is bringing many “quiet” Americans to the forefront again is this distasteful rationalization of kneeling to despite the flag.

Speaking of the Fox network, it has been sullied a bit by allegations of sexual misdoing by several of the news company’s men. But here is what Is interesting. Hollywood is in state of apoplexy after their beloved Harvey Weinstein has acknowledged his sexual harassments and has paid off a number of women in the process. He is being represented by Lisa Bloom. Yes, that same Liza Bloom who has been a champion of harassed women everywhere and who actually represented those alleged abused in the cases against Bill O’Reilly and Bill Cosby, two guys on the right. I guess in H-Wood, you get to pick your abusers based on ideology.

All you have to know about the stability of digital currency is this.: Goldman Sachs is thinking of establishing a bitcoin trading department. Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan says we should stay as far away from them as we can, calling them a “Fraud” and promising to fire anybody who traded in them.

Guide to Medical Terminology: “Dilate” – To live long; “Cauterize” To make eye contact with her; “Cesarean Section” – A neighborhood in Rome; “Fibula” – A small lie; “Benign” – What you be, after you be eight; “Pelvis” – Second Cousin to Elvis.

It appears that Michelle Obama has also caught the narrow gage train. How thin is her thinking that tells women that they must vote for a woman? How insulting to women!

Just when Americans are getting in to recycling, China decides to pul the plug as another country’s waste destination. Simply put, the market for recyclable stuff has begun to dry up. Maybe the Gov could classify recyclables as used food accessories and issue agricultural subsidies. We could store used bottles cans and newspapers next to cheese.

Can I hide Bitcoins under my mattress?

The Answer:

When you look at the amount and variety of Poe’s writings, you, well at least I, get the feeling that he lived for a century. But, alas the poor stricken soul died at 40. Bonus: The great Marian Anderson was the first black person to join the Met. Super Bonus: San Francisco was established in 1776, after the start of the Revolutionary War. No wonder some out there don’t quite get the greatness of America thing; you know like fighting against oppressive government regulations and taxation..

Tomorrow we’re going to discuss “Behaviorable Economics”. How exciting is that!

Happy C-o-l-u-m-b-u-s Day, everybody!
