For Songs of Silence:
I
was sitting here earlier waiting for the blank screen
to come alive with my thoughts, and nothing was happening. Then I turned on the
music, and my fingers started moving, slowly at first. But as the brain was
massaged by the soft strains of soothing melodies, it began digitizing my
digits; words grew into usable ideas, and finally complete paragraphs. But then,
there is that old problem -- Music mellows out the acute editing senses, and
typos blossom. Well, we are off.
Scaramucci
scarame!
Has
anybody taken time to notice that Gore’s Predictions
in “An Inconvenient Truth” have not come true and are far away from getting there.
Oh, wait, he did say the cost of destruction on the coast will go up. But, that
has been statistically proven to be the result of wealthier people building more
expensive houses on the coast, not the advance of higher seas. So, beware of
his new sequel to an that inconvenient misdirection. Meanwhile, he makes
millions off of his climate related investments.
The
Question:
Triple
Header Friday: 1. During WWII, Churchill called it the “Unsinkable
Aircraft Carrier”. What was it? 2. What
are the three top Automakers in worldwide sales? 3. What’s the meaning of the word “Spain”? Bonus: What was the first world city to reach 1,000,000
inhabitants? Super Friday Bonus: What
is so unusual about swimming in a lake in Ohio.

Words
coming from the mouth of Chuck Schumer have become irrelevant.
Some
say that the 1565 siege of Malta could have been the
last stand of the Christian Alliance against Islamic Ottoman Empire for control
of the Mediterranean. In other words, if the Maltese citizens combined with
2000 “Knights of Malta” and other Christian knight’s groups (i.e. Knights of
Saint John) totaling about 6800 soldiers couldn’t withstand the attacking
40,000 Turks with a naval force of 193 ships including Barbary pirates then Christianity
may have been doomed and Islam would have prevailed, spreading throughout the known
world. Britain’s Queen Elizabeth said, “If the Turks should prevail against the
Isle of Malta, it is uncertain what peril might prevail against the rest of
Christendom.” Fortunately, Turk commander Suleiman made several strategic
errors of which the Knights of Malta took advantage.
Oil
companies are beginning to become realistic about their future
in the product that launched billionaires. They see the handwriting on the pumps
outside convenience stores. But, they also know that as electric cars become more
dominant, more electricity will have to be produced using fuels more efficient than
wind and sun. If you are a stock watcher, this will be a very interesting paradigm
change.
As
progressives ease their way further into the RI government,
the state will grow even more regressive than it is now under a union dominated
legislature. Progressive. Regressive. I like it.
I
am actually strong believer in climate change. The climate has
had massive swings since the beginning of time, and it is not unreasonable to
expect more.
Scaramucci
is on a well-planned career path that definitely won’t end with communications director.
I
know how much I walk during the day and I don’t need a
phone to harass me about what it thinks I’m not doing. Just think if sometime in
the future when the phone is connected to the CDC, and that big Government org
sends health monitors to your home to intimidate you into submission. Before
you knew it, they’d be poking to my Cheeto and gravy supplies. Hell, I’d be
calling out for Katniss Everdeen before you can say Scott Pelley.
The
Answer:
Churchill’s unsinkable aircraft carrier was the
island country Malta. Holding Malta enabled the WWII allies to hold the Mediterranean.
2. The top three car sellers
worldwide are Nissan-Renault, VW and Toyota. 3. Spain, Espana, as named first by the Carthaginians (Ispania from
Spahn – rabbit)) and seconded by the Romans (Hispania) means literally: “The Land
of the Rabbits”. They had a fast-growing population. Bonus: Rome was the first city ever to hit a million. BTW, Damascus
is the oldest continuously inhabited city in existence. SuperBonus: No lake in Ohio is Natural – all man made.
Scaramucci:
The Disrupter.
