Today's Tids Issue

For Reindeer:
Hey,
everybody…it is winter. Yes, this is the shortest day,
which means I have much less time to write your morning mess. But, I’m feeling good
writing as tomorrow begins the slow road back to summer! How great is that.
I
clearly remember that day in 1961 when one the great
American inventions hit the news – the arrival of Mrs. Butterworth Syrup. Talk
about aphrodisiac!
Fake
news is a hot topic, but the bigger threat to an informed
populace may be Biased reporting. Fake news is generally the product of amateurs
with no credibility, but misleading reporting is a black art supposedly fine-tuned
by professional reporters, which to many gives it unwarranted credibility.
When
boomers move into the over 80 years old demographic by
2025, there will not be enough housing that could accommodate their aging needs.
In addition, the cost of housing is expected to rise dramatically to a point in
2035 where many of the of the lower income Boomer SS’s could be paying 50% of
their income for housing. Yikes. It is said that only 5% of today’s housing is good
for comfortable and convenient old person existence – i.e. zero step entries, narrow
halls and all on one floor living. My crystal ball is saying this is an enormous
building industry opportunity…as long as they don’t mess with my back yard.

During
the recent spate of talk about Russian hacking, “O” was
fond of saying “17 intelligence agencies are saying the same thing (About Russia’s
involvement)”. The big question though is; Why do we have 17 intelligence agencies
doing the same thing?
By
the way, have you noticed how the Russia hacking thing has
stopped now that the Electoral process has been completed.
I
read a headline this morning that said, “A new bill has been proposed
in state legislature that would allow teachers to wish their classes a “Merry Christmas”.
How sad, that we can be just us.
A
new story just getting legs describes White House Intimidation
Of The Department Of Energy To “Further Its Climate Change Agenda.” Sounds like
it could be fun to follow. I’m sending two reporters to Washington. Although I
am hearing rumbles from their children and spouses about missing Christmas. News
doesn’t stop…unless congress goes home for Christmas.
The
excuse against having Christmas in class rooms has recently
been because “the schools are paid for by the government”. I always thought the
schools were paid for by the taxpayers, the people. The government theoretically
pays for nothing, but take ownership of everything.
I
suspect that there is a large percentage of Americans who
have no clue as to the true meaning of the word Impeachment.
Two
powerful leftie publishing operations, Slate Magazine and The
Old Grey Lady of NYC are beginning the battle to eliminate the Electoral
College. It’s a no brainer for the left for they should always have the major constituency
in the big urban coastal states, the main reason the EC was considered in the
first place, but of course, if Trump does what he said he would do and gets
inside the big cities to begin improving life there, then Dems may be shooting
themselves in the foot by eliminating the college. And that is exactly why they
are against guns.
As
predicted here last week that it wouldn’t be long after the
Electoral victory for Trumperino for the anti-Trump angry diverse men and women
crowd to mention the “I” word. They have.
Too
many sports commentators and columnists think they are way
more important than they are. Give them a little power, like voting for Hall of
famers, and they become completely boorish.
It
is not a coincidence that banal rhymes with anal.
A
Trump Press Secretary may have little to do as the Boss
tweets instead of meets.
The
Answer:
It is Alibaba Singles Day. The last event in November
$17.8 Billion was sold. There were 100,000 merchants participating. Yikes! This
year the company brought virtual reality onto their platform so customers could
better experience certain products. We may want to be isolated, but commerce is
more than ever global.
Santa
had a little deer,
Who had the name of Rain.
He learned to fly
Up in the sky,
And will bring Ho-Ho’s again!
I’ll
be watching the moon of December 24.
