The Truth?! The Truth?! You Can’t Handle The Truth!!!

 

I had what I thought was a better Subject for this Blog Posting than Jack Nicholson’s famous movie quote but Jack happened to be visiting with me as I as I started writing this Blog Posting and he told me, “You will be sorry if you don’t use my famous movie quote!”

He never said why I would be sorry but anytime Jack threatens me I pay heed to his words. His words make me shiver but it’s the way he looks at me when he says his words that really makes me feel ill at ease.

Have you ever heard of the word “Clickbait”? Until recently I had not heard of it but I have been annoyed by Clickbait for a long time. I just did not know there was a word for it.

Wikipedia has heard of Clickbait and they do a very good job of explaining what it means...

Clickbait is a text or a thumbnail link that is designed to attract attention and to entice users to follow that link and read, view, or listen to the linked piece of online content, being typically deceptive, sensationalized, or otherwise misleading. A "teaser" aims to exploit the "curiosity gap", providing just enough information to make readers of news websites curious, but not enough to satisfy their curiosity without clicking through to the linked content. Click-bait headlines add an element of dishonesty, using enticements that do not accurately reflect the content being delivered.

Wikipedia's description says to me that there is a lot to not like about Clickbait...Deceptive, Sensationalized, Misleading, Teaser, Exploit, Dishonesty, Enticements and Do Not Accurately Reflect the Content Being Delivered.

Bait is put on a fish hook to entice a fish to swallow the hook inside the bait. Clickbait is like fish bait on a Curiosity Hook. Once we take in the Clickbait Hook it is hard to spit it out. We usually end up saying to our collective selves, “Boy was that a waste of time!” By then it is too late.

Here is an example of what actually happened to Fella a few days ago...

Ø I saw this Clickbait Link about Sean Hannity...

Ø I had yet to run across the word “Clickbait” and I did not believe that Sean Hannity was actually married to a man but I was curious as to how they (whoever “they” are) were going to spin their lie.

Ø What I did not know was how long they were going to toy with me before they finalized the story.

Ø I will not try and guess how long they played it out, but I will tell you this, I got to the point where I thought it was never going to end.

Ø I clicked through a humongous number of pictures of married couples, living together couples that I recognized and living together couples I had not ever heard about. Actually I did not care about any of them, even the ones I recognized.

Ø At the end they did not even lie about it by putting Hannity with another man but presented me with this...

I was expecting something like...

>A picture of Football Nut Hannity in a very loud bar during a football game leaning close to a another Male Football Nut Friend and having to shout into his male friend’s nutty ear because a touchdown had just been scored and all the other Male and Female Football Nut Fans were going nuts screaming about the touchdown.
>There would be a caption below the picture that read, “Cozy! Sean sure is close-up and personal with his Male Friend! Looks like the rumors are true!”

The Bottom Line was they did not even try to make up some kind of lie about their claim that Hannity was married to a man. They just published a picture of Sean and his Girlfriend and made no reference to the Clickbait (Sean Hannity is Married To This Man!) that got you to waste so much of you time.

I know some of us are confused today about gender but it does not look to me as if Ainsley is in the least bit confused about her gender.

In the end I thought to myself, “This ain’t fair!” That was a wasted thought. How Silly of me. No one ever said Clickbait was fair.

The Fish that is lucky enough to have spit out the fish bait ought to feel lucky. I had not been lucky enough (smart enough?) to spit out the Clickbait. I had stayed to the bitter end. I had wasted all that time slithering through all those people I did not care about knowing about.

How Come No One Told Me It Was Up There?

 

It has been up there hardly making any news for more than 21 years. It’s been doing the unbelievable every day for more than 21 years.

Down here we have been busy with Miniscule News Happenings by comparison to what’s been going on up there. Writing this Blog Posting will not change much of anything about our interest in the International Space Station. We are still going to be mesmerized by the Insignificant, the Tawdry, the Violent and the Silly which is going on all around us Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow...

Ø Super Bowl plays like that one almost at the very end of this year’s Super Bowl where on 3^rd and goal to go #55 Did Not Pass Interfere with that receiver and made that great defensive play only to be called for Pass Interference giving the about to be winning team a 1^st and goal to go inside the 3 yard line.

Ø What some celebrity did with some other celebrity in broad daylight.

Ø Carjacking's.

Ø Murders.

Ø Political high jinks.

Ø Hot dog eating contests.

Ø Ground Hog “predictions”.

Ø Etcetera, Etcetera, Etcetera.

While we have been concerned with such as the 8 Bullet Points above, removing gravity from the equation has made a huge difference for scientists researching everything from combustion engines to air purification systems to cancer treatments. In its more than 21 years of human occupancy, the space station has hosted more than 3,000 experiments by more than 4,000 researchers from more than 100 countries.

Oh well, let’s just be thankful that there are still the likes of the more than 4,000 researchers doing what they are doing whether we are paying attention to their more than 3,000 experiments or not.

A Bureaucracy Is a Very Hard Thing to Fix, Modify or Even Tinker With

 

The content of today’s Blog Posting is simply a 5 Minute and 3 Second Video produced by PragerU along with a couple of comments (bold below) from Fella.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs is populated by 9,000 Entrenched Bureaucrats. What do you think are the chances of changing 9,000 Entrenched Bureaucrat's Minds?

Another reason why the Bureau resists change is because the 9,000 are too busy to listen to change recommendations because they have $3 Billion to spend each year. (That’s 3 Thousand Million Dollars.) They are under a lot of pressure to spend it all each year because by spending it all each year they can “justify” getting more than $3 Billion next year.

If More Is Better, Why Is Not Even More Even Better?

Here is a PragerU 5 minute & 18 second video about the dangers of a $15 Minimum Wage: https://www.prageru.com/video/who-does-a-dollar15-minimum-wage-help

After Fella watched the video he searched on “$20 minimum Wage” and got a lot of links come back to him. Below are just 2 Links:

Ø Andom Ghebreghiorgis ran for Congress in N.Y. A major thrust of his campaign was a $20 Minimum Wage: https://www.andomforny.com/twenty-dollar-minimum-wage

Ø Andom Ghebreghiorgis suspended his campaign June 1, 2020: https://www.andomforny.com/campaign-suspended

Does this not make perfect sense?... If a $20 Minimum Wage is logical thinking why not go to $100 Minimum Wage?

Here is a quote from an interviewed man on the street, “I was elated when I got my first paycheck where I was paid $20/hour. After my 5^th paycheck my employer closed his business. That was a shame because I really had plans for that 6^th paycheck. I told my former employer he should have gone straight to $25/hour! That would have fixed everything!”

That Chef Is Really Smart!

There are people from around the world reading this Blog Posting. Google Analytics says that my 2^nd and 3^rd Most-Clicks Countries are Russia at 7,383 and Italy at 38,639 (Good Ole USofA is first). 

I say to all of you Silly Seekers from around the world, if you are ever in Peachtree Corners, GA, a good place to eat lunch is Firebirds Peachtree Corners. I’m not saying it is the greatest place that you will ever eat in but it is a really good substitute for First Watch (especially if First Watch is covered up with waiting people and you don’t want to be a waiting people for as long as you would have to be waiting at First Watch).

Yes the food was good but, since I am a Smartfella, I always like to eat in a restaurant where I know the Chef is a Smart Fella and Firebirds’  Chef is indeed Smart.

This Chef is not only smart but he is also helpful. He has taken upon himself to go to all the trouble of recommending the Salad Dressing for each of his salad offerings...

Ø For the Spinach Salad he recommends Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing.

Ø For the Mixed Greens Salad he recommends Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette Dressing.

Ø For the BLT Salad he recommends Roasted Garlic Ranch Dressing.

Ø For the Caesar Salad he recommends Caesar Dressing.

He Recommends Caesar Dressing for the Caesar Salad! What a Smart Guy! What a Helpful Guy! This Chef is One of a Kind!

OK, I admit that this is not one of my more Earth Shaking Blog Postings. Actually I am not sure if I have ever had a truly Earth Shaking Blog Posting. I must say I enjoyed it. As usual, I hope you did too.

I Was So Frustrated I Lashed Out

 

We Just Bought a New Whirlpool Clothes Washer...

I had reason to contact Whirlpool about Product Registration. I called them. I could not get them to answer their Your Call Is Important To Us phone. I spent hours trying to make contact.

Here’s how I got into this predicament...

I went online to register my washer. After I completed the registration, I got a message with a Click Box in it. The Click Box said, “Please Wait”. I waited 1.5 hours and the “Please Wait” box never went away.

Since I was not sure if my registration was really activated, I decided to let them have a piece of my mind (since I am so important to them). At my age I am very careful about giving away even small pieces of my mind but I was in a frenzy or a tizzy or some such thing. I stumbled across their You Are Important To Us Contact Form and I filled it out and sent it to them.

My Comments: ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE to get through to Whirlpool! Held online for 57 Minutes and 29 Seconds! I have a simple question but I can't get through all your harassment hoops! If anyone cares, call me at xxx xxx xxxx. (I don't expect I will ever hear from you!) What am I supposed to do if I ever really need help like a malfunctioning clothes washer!?

************

Low and behold Whirlpool’s Correspondence Team sent me an email response! I was elated. I thought to myself, This Is Great!...Or was it?

The Key Sentence in Their Email...

You have reached the correspondence team and we are unable to call you. 

I have been known to be Picky but I don’t think I am being Too Picky by reacting to this sentence in their email...

Ø Who made contact with me?
>Whirlpool’s Correspondence Team.

Ø What is the main function of a Correspondence Team?
>It is to Correspond, is it not?

Ø What does the Correspondence Team tell me in this sentence?
>It tells me that they cannot Correspond with me because they can’t call me.

Ø Why can’t they call me?
>Is not calling me a form of Correspondence?

Ø Maybe they do not have telephones?
>Maybe I held on the phone for 57 Minutes and 29 Seconds because they did not have a phone to pick up and talk to me on.

Ø Maybe they have phones but do not have my phone number.
>That’s not true because I gave them my phone number in my frustrated message to them (and it was not a bunch of X’s).

The only answer must be they never read my message. They (or their computer) must have automatically sent me a This Oughta Confuse the Heck Out Of Him automatic response.

************

Crazy People

Maybe they did not pick up the phone they do not have because they knew I had held on for 57 Minutes and 29 Seconds and anyone who would hold on for 57 Minutes and 29 Seconds must be crazy and their Company Policy is not to talk to Crazy People.

I think I should mention that during my 57 Minutes and 29 Seconds hold time I was listening to music as bad as the Social Security Administration persecutes callers with (I had always thought theirs was the worst music I would ever hear) and I also had to listen to the same Recorded Messages every 20 Seconds over and over.

Actually I have decided not to mention what I mentioned in the above paragraph so please go back and not read what you just read in the above paragraph.

************

Catch 22...

We are all familiar with the term Catch 22 but do you know exactly what it means? It means...

Ø If you are told you must do something to get something you want but, if you do what you are told to do, you will not get the something you want.

Ø In the book Catch 22 in order to be removed from Flying Duty (WW2 bombers)...

>You must ask to be relieved of Flying Duty.

&

>You must be crazy.

Ø However, if you ask to be relieved from Flying Duty, you must be sane because only a crazy person would want to stay on Flying Duty.

Whirlpool Just Catch 22’ed Me

Since they could not call me, they told me to call them on a different number they gave me in the email.

The Catch 22...If I want to talk to them I must call them but if I call them you can’t talk to them.

I did as instructed. I called them and they did not pick up the phone.

When I Make Something Up You Know I Made Something Up

Please allow me to explain why I chose the Subject for this blog Posting to be...

When I Make Something Up You Know I Made Something Up

Two Possible Reasons...

• Because I will tell you I made something up.

or

• Because it is so obvious that I made something up I would feel Silly if I told you I made something up.

Now that I have gotten that Silliness out of the way, I will get pecking on today’s Blog Posting.

In the world of Dollar Stores there is confusion. Don’t worry yourself none because I am about to unconfuse you...

Dollar General Stores...The far greater majority of what they sell costs more than a dollar. I would venture to say if you asked for change for a dollar, the cashier might look at you with a confused look on his face and say, “What’s a dollar?”

Family Dollar Stores...Read above my clever comments about Dollar General Stores.

Dollar Tree Stores...Everything in Dollar Tree Stores Costs a Dollar (except Vienna Sausage which is 2 for a Dollar). THAT IS A LIE! It was not a lie until a couple of days ago when I was slapped in my disbelieving face with this lie for the first time.

I have always liked to eat Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup. Dollar Tree sells a 25% Larger than Campbell’s regular can of Chicken Noodle Soup for (wanna guess?) a dollar.

I went in to stock up on Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup. I got 10 cans in my basket and went to the checkout counter and, being sly, cunning and alert, I noticed the little screen was ringing up $1.25 each instead of $1.00 each.

I asked the checkout girl why it was not $1.00 each. She said, “Almost everything in the store is now $1.25”. 

************

Another Lie...

Inflation in the Good Ole USofA is not that high! It is only 7%. Only 7% is not much. It’s not even 8% and it’s hardly more than 6%.

Based on Fella’s Dollar Tree Inflation Determination Calculation, Inflation is 25%! (You probably did not need your calculator to figure out that my figuring was correct.)

Lagniappe:

Way back when I lived in my Cabin  outside of Dahlonega, Georgia there was a store up that way that I was afraid to go into.

It was named “$6.99 and Up”. What is up above $6.99? Every dollar amount from $7.00 and higher is above $6.99. This frightened me. I was afraid to go into that store because I feared I might meet up with a Great Salesman who would get a hold of me and sell me a $3,000 Etch a Sketch!(Put away your calculator. Trust me. I'm not lying when I tell you $3,000 is above $6.99).

Did You Just Say Again What You Just Said?

 

I'm sure tired of how politicians become attached to certain words and, before we know it, Every One of Them Is Using Every One of Them Over and Over.

Here are some of today’s words that are Surging All Across the Fruited Plain...

Ø Racist

Ø Indigenous

Ø Pandemic

Ø Systemic

Ø Racist

Ø Woke (whatever that is)

Ø I’m Offended! (Exclamation Point Is Always Used)

Ø Transparent

Ø Lockdown

Ø Mask(s)

Ø Racist

Ø Mandate

Ø COVID-19

Ø Racist

I can handle hearing 12 Transparencies being used in an hour news show but I was mesmerized recently when a politician blurted out...

I am as transparent as anyone I know. I could not believe my ears when I recently was called a non-transparent by a person who I know to be as non-transparent as anyone I know.

If the above paragraph makes sense to you, it might be because you are suffering from a lack of oxygen because of those 5 Face Masks you are wearing.

I Know Nothing!

 

The Late Sergeant Schultz visited with me today and before he could say, I know nothing, I beat him to the say by saying, I know nothing about Texas Deceased Voters, Non-Citizen Voters and Cross State Duplicate Voters nor do I know anything about How Many Registered Voters Can Be Fit Into One Single Family Home but I do have a few questions.

Below I will list some things about all of the above that look Suspiciously Foolish...

Ø Why are some people fighting removal of Dead People from the voting rolls?

Ø Why are some people fighting removal of Non-Citizen from the voting rolls?

Ø Why are some people not concerned about Cross-State Duplicate Votes? (This means some individuals may have cast a ballot in both Texas and another state.)

Ø Why do some people see nothing wrong with that single family home in Wichita Falls which is reported to have over 500 Registered Voters living in it?

Would you not agree that the above 4 Bullet Points sound Suspiciously Foolish?

The Texas Secretary of State said a Forensic Audit is being conducted in 4 counties that will use “analytical tools to examine the literal nuts and bolts of election administration to determine if any illegal activity may have occurred.” (I did the underlining.)

Huh? Dear Mr. Secretary of State, I guess it is good for you to not jump to my conclusions but may I give you a bit of advice? I think you ought to go to that 500+ person living there single family home and arrest anyone not living there.

Lagniappe: I don’t understand the use of the word “only” in this sentence that came from a Texas State Official...“The Texas Attorney General’s office lists only 386 active election fraud investigations in Texas.” I don’t mean to quibble but allow me to quibble a bit even though I don’t mean to...is not 386 a lot and not an only?

In Washington D.C. What Goes Around Doesn’t Always Come Around

Federal agencies are required to respond to any Freedom of Information Act request within 20 days. Many times this does not happen.

A request can be denied on several grounds. An often used ground is for National Security Reasons. When this happens, the requestor’s only recourse is to file suit.

Even when the request is approved, it can take a long time to comb through all files, particularly if the request itself is for a massive amount of information stored on analog or non-digital materials or if the request is of a sensitive nature and requires selective redactions.

************

In August 2020 a request was filed by the organization called Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency. They requested a large number of documents from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.

The FDA has claimed that it will take 55 years to review the requested documents. The FDA contends this much time is necessary to remove private, personal and corporate information. This means the request wouldn’t be completed until the year 2076.

“Since the Biden administration is hell-bent on forcing these vaccine mandates on us, the public has every right to know how this vaccine was approved, especially in such a short amount of time,” Rep. Ralph Norman said. “After all, the FDA managed to consider all 329,000 pages of data and grant emergency approval of the Pfizer vaccine within just 108 days. So it’s hard to rationalize why it now needs 55 years to fully release that information to the public.”

Rep. Norman is fighting back. He has countered that he thinks 100 Days is quite enough.

************

My sources tell me that the real reason the FDA needs 55 Years to comply with the Rep. Norman’s request is they do not intend on starting to work on it until 54 years, 11 months and 2 weeks from now.

I asked my sources to go back at the FDA and ask why they will not start working on the request until 54 years, 11 months and 2 weeks from now. The FDA Guy replied in an exasperated tone, “Because we are too busy not working on a lot of other requests!”

The American Public is so used to this kind of thing happening in Washington D.C. we are likely to shrug our shoulders and say, “That makes sense”.

Because we respond with a meek “That makes sense” is proof positive that they are winning and we are losing.

I better be careful with this one. Voter ID has got to be political...Or might it not be?

We can all list many occasions where we must show a Photo ID to do something or gain entrance to some place or to buy something, etc. etc. etc.

For more than 20 years I have been a regular donator of Platelets, Plasma and/or Red Blood Cells. The Process is called Apheresis. The products extracted are vital in treating many diseases and disorders including Cancer and Burn Victims.

Every time I check in to donate they ask me for a Photo ID and every time I say, “Are you worried I will give you someone else’s platelets?”

They don’t always think my joke is funny but I always laugh.

When I Was Young I Would Often Hear Someone Say, “Time Marches On” But I Don’t Hear That Said Anymore

 

The reason we no longer say “Time Marches On” is because we are too busy saying, “The Pandemic Marches On”. The thing about this Pandemic Marching is there is often a touch of Silliness to its Cadence...

• I was watching an NBA Game a couple of nights ago and, during a game break, 2 players who were not dressed out for the game were talking to each other with their faces about a foot apart so they could be heard over the noise in the arena. Neither one of them had a mask on. They looked silly because, as each took his turn to talk, he would pull his t-shirt over his mouth before he did his talking at the other guy. This may be the Pandemic Prudent thing to do but it sure looked Silly to me.

I’m curious. Is COVID only spewed hanging on spoken words or is also spewed by breathing back and forth at each other?

• We had a Power Outage yesterday and my Power Company keeps me informed of what’s happening by Texting Messages like this one: “Our crews are following the CDC's recommended guidelines on social distancing. In the event a member of our team needs to work near your home, customers are asked to keep children and pets indoors and maintain the recommended 6 feet distance from crew members. Following these guidelines will help us ensure the health and safety of both our crew and our customers during this time. Thank you.”

I’m curious. Is this intended to protect the Power Company’s Worker from getting COVID from Our Pets or to protect Our Pets from getting COVID from the Power Company’s Worker?

• I always try to give My Dear Readers 3 bullets and I’ve mentioned this one before but I still see it almost every day. Why do drivers driving their cars with no one else in their car Drive with Masks On?
  

I’m curious. Don’t these drivers know they can prevent COVID from being sucked into their cars by driving with their heating or cooling systems on Recirculation Mode? Then, if they catch COVID from themselves, they will only have themselves to blame.

I’m curious. Am I this “smart” because I am a Wise Guy or because I am a Wiseguy?

Why Is The Stock Market Going Up While Everything Is Going Bad?

 

The Stock Market is going up because of the COVID Economy. Did you just ask, “What is the COVID Economy?” Glad you asked...

The COVID Economy is all around us but you have not noticed it because you do not notice things like I notice things. You may recall that I am The Noticer.

When something really bad happens some of us say to ourselves, “Wow! That is really bad!” Others say to themselves, “Wow! That is really a good opportunity to make money!”

For example, it could be as simple as Selling Flowers. When that building fell down in South Florida I bet there was a Flower Kiosk set up near the fall down site that sold flowers to people who wanted to buy flowers and go stick then in the fence surrounding the fall down site.

************

So it is with COVID. The COVID Economy came about because Entrepreneurs (honest and dishonest) have come up with new ways to capitalize on the fact that COVID has all of us Petrified about COVID.

I could spend the rest of this day giving you examples of new COVID Economy Products but you would not bother to read them because you are busy hiding in your bedroom closet trying not to breathe.

I am aware that being in your bedroom closet and not breathing is hard (I feel your pain) so I will not drag this Blog Posting out but I will give you this single COVID Economy example because I think this one is funny and silly and I like silly.

Wind Instrument Musicians in future years will not play their Wind Instruments very well because the “COVID Smart” people who control us have decided that Wind Instrument Musicians should limit practice on their Wind-Blown Instruments because their Wind-Blown Instruments are spewing out COVID Germ Stuff all over the Fruited Plain. (Practice Makes Perfect is a thing of the past.)

Or

In my Blog Posting of January 3, 2022 I sent you this information...

Cloth Masks are made of common fabrics that tend to be highly permeable. These masks were already worn before the C-19 pandemic in developing countries because they are inexpensive and can be used more than once. The CDC says they should be washed at least once a day, and washing them makes the fabrics even more permeable.

Keeping the above in mind, are you ready to spend your money on this below?...

May I point out this excerpt from the above excerpt from my January 3 Blog Posting which plainly says...

Cloth Masks are made of common fabrics that tend to be highly permeable.

My Dear Reader, that’s a Highly Permeable Cloth Covering on that Wind-Blown COVID Germ Spewing Instrument. Are you ready to stand in front of her Wind-Blown COVID Germ Spewing Instrument and take a few deep breathes because you are certain you are protected because of her Highly Permeable Cloth Covering?
