Misdirection.

Today's Tids Issue 4,401

Tolerance, Regardless, for All:

This morning is like the most beautiful poem ever penned with love.

Does that mean I don’t have to talk of politics and cultural wars, and human’s inability to listen or even try to understand what’s in the hearts of all. Have ideological boundaries become so rigid that we can’t be at least tolerable to all human beings, all who are intrinsically similar to one another. How can the sun shine so brightly, and winds off the sea blow so briskly, and not expel anger from the souls of people?

In my book, privacy is another of those inalienable rights. So maybe should thank the social media perpetrators for showing us how easily what we hold dear can be taken away from us.

When national leaders back each other into corners, nothing good ever happens.

The Twitter world is so wrapped up in cultural differences that a majority of people miss the essence of real issues, like how we can pay for all of the politician’s voter promises. You don’t see Twitter rages over budgets and deficits. Policians of course love distractions from real worlds. As the old magician’s joke goes: Watch closely, at no time do my fingers ever leave my hand.”

The Question:

Who was Jack Jovett? Bonus: Which sates have the best economy?

I think that the new movie Pavarotti to open this weekend could be one of the most entertaining of the year. It just feels good.

I truly believe it is time for a good moderate President of the USA, has long as he or she is just slightly right of center and a Repub. The Tids editorial board is willing to compromise for the good of society.

Typo Apology Department: 1. The marauding, out of control cruise shop hit the docks of Genoa, not Venice. (I knew that. My fingers didn’t) 2. A nautical mile is 6,076 feet, not 6,976.

If fingers can at times miss signals from a brain in the same body, how can we possibly expect humans to mesh smoothly, not have their thoughts pass by each other in the night.

Jeopardy James is probably happy to get back to a normal life. But, he was great for all those shows, and the woman, Emma who eliminated him, was very, very good last night. His final Tweet: “To everyone: Thanks for the Support, and remember to be good humans.” We will be interested to see how he does in the tournament of Champions, against Ken Jennings.

Overheard on the street: “When I ask for directions, please don’t use words like ‘East’.”

Almost heard on the street: “I hate it when a couple argues in public and I missed the beginning and don’t know whose side I’m on.”

Two things we know will happen with higher tariffs. Consumer prices will go up, or company profits go down to stay price competitive.

Isn’t it ironic that the US House would pass a bill entitled “Disaster”?

An NBA fan buying two courtside seats for the latest Warriors-Raptors game payed $50,507 each for the pair. I don’t get it.

When did the world stop spinning and the media declared AOC as spokesperson for America?

Latest Dem give-away for votes; Teachers’ salaries. So far, a government takeover of local education has done nothing but confuse the issue at the lower levels. Including kids.

The Answer:

“The British are coming…” are not only the words of Paul Revere but also of Virginia’s Jovett who road 40 isle to alert Thomas Jefferson. Revere is better known just because Massachusetts had better poets. Everything is about Public Relations, including history. Bonus: Number one Economy in the USA is Washington (State) It is followed by Utah, Massachusetts, California and Colorado. The next five are DC (The Lobbyist and campaign funding Industries), Idaho, Oregon, New Hampshire and North Carolina. The bottom five are Alaska, Louisiana, Mississippi, Hawaii and West Virginia. The next five in the Top Ten Worst (TTW) are Arkansas, Kentucky, Wyoming, Rhode Island, Maine and New Mexico.

This morning I told a reader who called me that I was editing my Tids and was having trouble figuring out two words I typed which made no sense in the middle of a paragraph. He said, “Now you know how Tids readers feel every day!” Yikes! Thanks for your continuing patience E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y! I love you all.

Understanding people is pretty damn important.
