If we have ever needed a weekend…

Today's Tids Issue 4,573

Yada, Yada, Yada:

It’s about 20 days to Valentine’s day. Just in case you are looking for the rapture of romance following the bitterness of political posturing. Pump some life into your hearts. It will be over.

It’s a good thing that we had 16 hours for the Dems to repeat their charges.

Happy Year of the Rat, Everybody!

As I look around, I see many Americans who seemed enthralled by other nations. Theorists who would like to change the basic concepts of US governing; that the USA would behave like other governments around the world, many of whom are not stable because they have built in gimmicks to oust leadership at any given moment on a whim. Or are Governments of not the people.

The Question:

Who are considered the most influential people of all time?

The Headlines:

--Markets Expected To Bounce Back Though Concerns Over China Virus Remain.

--Dems Begin Today To Outline Article Two Of Impeachment.

--Trump To Address Anti-Abortion March For Life.

Now, I know one thing for sure, Almond fluid isn’t milk. How can they get way with false advertising? Milk: “An opaque white fluid rich in fat and protein, secreted by female mammals for the nourishment of their young.”  BTW, real milk provides 8x’s more naturally occurring, high quality proteins in a n 8 oz glass – and has no added sugar.

New generations are dismissing facts of history and definitions of basic resources to justify their own rebellion against norms.

Basically, on Wednesday Adam Schiff made his case tor taking Diane Feinstein’s seat in the Senate.

Is anything really changing, or do we just have more people taking pictures of events, and more news sources reporting them? And, BTW, increased activity should be measured by percentages and not by anecdotal incidents of events. There are millions of more people now, and things appear to be happing more often, but most likely not at greater rates. Now, I have to say the no time in history had we aver had as many people falling off of cliffs taking selfies.

Now this is an example of “Can Do” spirit: China will build in just 6 days a new hospital to fight the virus in Wuhan. In the US it would take six days of emails to arrange a meeting to discuss the possibility of thinking about building a hospital. In 3 years.

Odd juxtaposition: Year of the Rat and a widespread killer virous in China.  

Midas took very good care of his pet deer. He had a hart of gold.

I wish there was more to talk about, but the impeachment hearings have sucked the air out of the information world, and have not produced anything worth writing about. They have pretty much built a case against using impeachment as a replacement for elections. Remember elections?

Up until the new foodists, the only people who got away with false advertising were politicians.

Reading Between the Lines Movie Reviews:

--Now you might imagine that “Zombie Child” would be a classic B film. But this one seems better. A man in Haiti is brought back to life and condemned to the sugarcane fields. 55 years later at a prestigious Paris boarding school a Haitian girl reveals a family secret, And then… This intrigues me.

--Matthew McConaughey strats in this tale about a guy who built a marijuana empire in London, and decides to cash out. That word gets out we are treated to plots ,schemes and blackmail to stea lhis domain. I like that.

--I might also like Color Out Of Space, a film where a meteor lands on an out of the way farm in mid America. The family battles an extraterrestrial who seeks to infect their minds.

--If you are intrigued about the horror film The Turning, don’t fall prey opt your impulses. This one is bad

The Answer:
