Silence is golden.



Today's Tids Issue 4,501
Look smart; Keep mouth shut:

The aim of argument or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress. –Joseph Joubert

Elizabeth did a good job fending off all of the accusers onstage last night. Some observers said she looked nervous, but she the poll leader was the brunt of attacks and survived better than most, including Joe under similar circumstances last item. Bernie and Buttigieg also gained some points while Biden and most of the others seemed to struggle. Personally, I thought it was just more of the same and I lost interest quickly. Klobuchar did a good job of claiming the centrist role in Dem Land. It may keep her going. All candidates agreed on one thing – Trump impeachment

At the end of the debate last night, Anderson Cooper reflected on Ellen’s comments about friendship with those you may disagree with and asked a question in reference to it. The intolerant went berserk on Twitter. Harris and deCastro said there were more poignant topics to discuss. More poignant than trying to achieve harmony in a nation?

John Married Ruth. John killed Ruth. Therefore, John is Ruthless. From a trusty reader.

The Question:
Who is Lauren Daigle?

--September Retail Sales Shaw Biggest drop In 7 Months; Trade War Confusions Appears To be Culprit.

A lot of our national controversies are only controversies because the media keeps talking about them.

Underreported though is the rampant advances of credit card thievery. Five prevalent devices and/or schemes to steal credit card data are, 1, Skimmers, often attached to Gas Pumps or ATM machines. The devices look a bit like regular scanners but are there to take in your info. 2, there are more malicious retail clerks than you may imagine. You could always use cash, but then you could be subject to old fashioned robbery. At restaurants, it may be better to use your credit card instead of your debit card. Restaurants are increasingly hacker targets because of the high volume of transaction. Free WiFi in say hotels or public areas is a potential goldmine for cyberthieves. Checkout VPN. Of course, then there is phishing, bogus emails that lure you into opening your lives to the criminal underworld.

Every time lefties open their mouths to speak they confirm that they are the most intolerant group on the American landmass.

Maybe the Washington DC people will get into The World Series now, and forget about Impeachment for a few weeks.

With Joe Biden appearing to fade and not doing much for himself last night, another possible late entry name emerges. Michael Bloomberg. The billionaire said he would not enter the race if Biden did, but he may be seeing the Biden slide and having second thoughts. At least that’s the new murmur below the surface.

Spell-Check continues to overlook offering the option of a capital “T” for the word trump. The bias is everywhere. Hey, it even corrects Buttigieg properly.

In dangerous areas of the city, grocery stores have a “smash and carry policy.

A knowledgeable source from Brookings Institution once an Electoral College advocate, says he now has changed his mind. New wife? What I noticed was that in his thoughtful piece where he goes through the origins of the College he notes as one reason for having “Wise Men” selecting the president, was that at the time there were too many uneducated voters. Hmmm. Today we have a large percentage of bamboozled voters! And many live in the big population centers. Is there any difference?

A reader reports on a new Nike update of their Kaepernick slogan: “Believe in something unless it upsets the Chinese government.”

This is the Tids that went nowhere. Maybe it’s because of the haze following dem debates.

The Answer:
Laura Daigle is the most recent winner of the “Dove” award, her tenth. She is also a two-time Grammy winner. She may be the leading American contemporary Christian music singer and the Dove award is the highest Honor among the Christian musicians. Do you think she will ever be honored at the Kennedy Center Awards Affair?

Silence is one of the hardest arguments to refute.
