President Trump’s Second Term: What to Expect

This overview provides a glimpse into what to expect from President Trump’s next four years. The political and economic landscape will undoubtedly be dynamic, with significant implications for various segments of the population. President Trump’s Second Term: What to Expect   2024-2025: Setting the Stage   Inauguration and Early Policies:  President Trump’s second term begins with a focus on solidifying his base and implementing key policies. His administration is expected to prioritize immigration reform, including the continuation of building the border wall and implementing stricter immigration policies, Trump has also promised to cut taxes further, particularly for corporations and high-income earners.   Congressional Dynamics:  With Republicans likely holding a majority in both the House and Senate, Trump will have more leeway to push through his legislative agenda. However, he may still face opposition from within his party on certain issues, particularly those that require significant funding or are highly controversial.   2025-2026: Economic Policies and Social Security   Tax Cuts and Economic Impact:  Trump’s economic policies will likely include extending the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, reducing corporate tax rates, and eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits. While these measures aim to stimulate economic growth, they could also increase the federal deficit and potentially lead to cuts in social programs.   Impact on the Lower Middle Class: The lower middle class may face mixed outcomes. On one hand, tax cuts could provide some financial relief. On the other hand, proposed tariffs and a potential national sales tax could increase the cost of goods, disproportionately affecting lower-income households. The burden of a national sales tax is typically regressive, meaning it takes a larger percentage of income from lower-income earners.   Social Security Concerns: Trump has pledged not to cut Social Security benefits, but his economic policies could inadvertently strain the program’s funding. Eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits and other revenue-reducing measures could exacerbate the funding crisis, potentially leading to benefit cuts in the future   2026-2027: Legislative Battles and Policy Implementation   Healthcare and Education: Trump’s administration may attempt to repeal or replace the Affordable Care Act, focusing on reducing federal involvement in healthcare. Education policies could see a shift towards school choice and voucher programs, aiming to increase competition and improve educational outcomes.   Infrastructure and Trade:  Infrastructure development will likely be a key focus, with Trump pushing for significant investments in rebuilding America’s roads, bridges, and airports. Trade policies will continue to emphasize tariffs and renegotiating trade deals to favor American interests.   2027-2028: Preparing for the Next Election   Political Climate and Midterm Elections:  As the 2028 midterm elections approach, Trump’s administration will focus on maintaining Republican control of Congress. This period may see increased political polarization and efforts to rally the base through populist rhetoric and policy initiatives.   Long-term Economic Impact: The long-term effects of Trump’s economic policies will become more apparent. While tax cuts and deregulation may boost economic growth, the potential increase in the federal deficit and strain on social programs could pose significant challenges.   Defense, NATO, and Terrorism   Defense and Military Spending:  Trump has consistently advocated for increased military spending and a strong national defense. His administration is expected to continue this trend, focusing on modernizing the military and ensuring the U.S. maintains its global military dominance.   NATO and International Relations:  Trump’s relationship with NATO has been contentious. He has criticized NATO members for not meeting their defense spending commitments and has suggested that the U.S. might reduce its involvement if other members do not increase their contributions. This stance could lead to tensions within the alliance and impact the U.S.’s role in global security.   Terrorism:  Trump’s approach to combating terrorism will likely involve a combination of military action and intelligence operations. He has emphasized the need for strong borders and strict immigration policies to prevent terrorists from entering the country. Additionally, Trump has advocated for aggressive measures against terrorist organizations abroad,   Immigration Policies   Mass Deportations: Trump has promised to carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American history. This plan involves mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, increased workplace raids, and the use of the U.S. military to assist in enforcement. Critics argue that this approach could lead to significant humanitarian and economic challenges.   Border Security:  Building and expanding the border wall remains a priority for Trump. His administration will likely continue to allocate significant resources to border security, including hiring more border agents and implementing advanced surveillance technologies.   Asylum and Visa Policies:  Trump’s administration is expected to implement stricter asylum policies and reduce the number of visas issued. These measures aim to curb illegal immigration and ensure that only those who meet stringent criteria are allowed to enter the country. Legacy and Future Prospects:  Trump’s second term will shape his legacy and influence the future direction of the Republican Party. His policies and leadership style will continue to be a source of debate and analysis, impacting American politics for years to come.. Post Views: 5

Children Sports Burn Out

  Yes, too much of one sport can indeed lead to burnout in children. Burnout usually results from chronic stress and might manifest as physical or emotional exhaustion, reduced performance, feelings of cynicism or detachment, and a lack of accomplishment. Although it varies from child to child, typically, playing multiple games a week, and adding in practices as well as travel for tournaments on weekends can become overwhelming. This intense schedule can cause physical fatigue and mental stress. To avoid burnout: 1. Variety: Encourage your child to play different sports. This can help them develop diverse skills and prevent overuse injuries. 2. Breaks: Ensure that your child takes breaks during the season and has an off-season when they do not play any organized sport. 3. Balance: Balance their sports activities with other things they enjoy like hanging out with friends, hobbies or family time. 4. Limitation: A common recommendation is that children should not spend more hours a week than their age playing sports. For example, a 10-year-old should play no more than 10 hours per week. 5. Listen: Pay attention to your child’s feelings about their sport commitment – if they’re consistently feeling too tired or unmotivated to participate, it may be time to reduce the intensity of involvement. 6. Fun element: It’s important that playing sports remains fun for your child rather than being perceived as a chore or job. 7. Professional guidance: Seek advice from a coach or pediatrician if you worry about burnout or over-exercise. It’s important to remember that every child is unique – one size does not fit all when it comes to an appropriate schedule for sports participation. Post Views: 23

Electoral College: Protector of Small Populous States RIGHT TO VOTE

  It has been brought to my attention, some states are taking steps to eliminate the ‘ELECTORAL COLLEGE”.  Apparently the people trying to eliminate the Electoral College, either missed that day in school, or was asleep when the subject was being taught.  You see the Electoral College was put in the constitution to protect smaller states from being RULED by the whims of the larger populated states.  It is a safe stop; which is more necessary now than at the time of its placement in the constitution. Before you begin reading the main body of this post, I ask you to keep in mind these numbers. (Although the Electoral College isn’t perfect please consider these numbers).   Then tell me who completely controls the “POPULAR VOTE”. California: 38,889,700 people.   Texas:       30,978,754 people.                           Florida:     22,975,931 people.   New York 19,467,232 people.                              Pennsylvania 12,951275 people.  I am using numbers available for April, 2024. The total population of just these 5 states, (according to my calculator),            335,893,238  that is almost 336   MILLION PEOPLE.      Now as for the other  45  states (again according to my calculator),                 206,982,776 almost 207   MILLION PEOPLE.       My point being with 5 states having 129 MILLION MORE PEOPLE THAN THE remaining 45 states.  These 5 states have more than enough people to elect whoever they want not necessarily who is best for the entire country.  This conundrum (to ME).  Do I want a president I do not want or even have a say in?                                                                                                                                   The Electoral College is a mechanism established by the United States Constitution in Article II, Section 1. It was intended as a compromise between those who advocated for the election of the president through a vote in Congress and those who believed it should be decided by a popular vote of qualified citizens.      The Electoral College consists of 538 electors in total, which represent the 435 Representatives, 100 Senators, and three additional electors from the District of Columbia. To win the presidency, a candidate must receive at least 270 electoral votes. This system is not based on equal representation of individuals, but rather on equal representation of states. Now let’s consider your hypothetical scenario where just five most populated states control a presidential election. These states are California (55 Electoral Votes), Texas (38), Florida (29), New York (29), and Pennsylvania (20) as per the 2020 allocations. This adds up to just 171 electoral votes – still far short from the required majority of 270. Therefore, even though these states might have large populations, they alone cannot decide an election through popular vote due to our current electoral college system. However, if we were to shift to a direct democracy model or use only popular vote to determine elections, theoretically these states with high populations could indeed dominate national elections.  This could lead to political imbalance and neglecting interests of less populous areas which often have unique socio-economic and environmental issues that require specific policy attention. If this were the case, citizens from less-populated states might feel that their votes don’t carry enough weight or their voice is not heard adequately in deciding national leadership.  This could lead to certain degree of voter disillusionment or lower voter turnout among them because they may see their role as insignificant next to larger populace areas. This concern forms one of key arguments behind maintaining our Electoral College – it ensures all parts of country can have recognizable say in choosing our national leader irrespective of their population size. Furthermore, the electoral college system forces presidential candidates to seek support from a wider geographic base, instead of just focusing on densely populated urban areas.  It maintains the balance of influence among states and encourages candidates to understand and respond to diverse needs of different states. So despite criticisms, many argue that maintaining the electoral college is an important tool in preserving our federal system and ensuring that all parts of the country have an equitable say in national elections. In conclusion: What am i missing?  After all I am sure these lawmakers have a much better education than I do.  OR, are they ???   What is their motive for taking away the voters rights, as IT IS possible that the votes cast by these 45 states are just a matter of going through the motions, allowing the residents to feel their votes count. Thank you. Artie Fischal P.S. Please feel free to leave me comments those who agree and those who don’t agree.   Maybe I’ll learn something. Post Views: 134

PSA: THE LIFESAVING IMPORTANCE OF COLONOSCOPIES

     COLON CANCER  is a silent threat that often goes unnoticed until it’s too late. It’s the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women in the United States, but it doesn’t have to be a death sentence. Early detection through a colonoscopy can save lives, making it a crucial procedure for adults, especially those over the age of 50 or with a family history of the disease. A colonoscopy is a medical procedure that allows doctors to look inside the entire large intestine. It helps find ulcers, colon polyps, tumors, and areas of inflammation or bleeding. During the procedure, a long, flexible tube (colonoscope) is inserted into the rectum. A tiny video camera at the tip of the tube allows the doctor to view the inside of the entire colon.   Why is a Colonoscopy Important?   Early Detection:  Colonoscopies can detect precancerous polyps that can be removed before they turn into cancer. Prevention:  Removing polyps can prevent colon cancer, as most colon cancers develop from polyps. Peace of Mind: Knowing your colon is free of polyps can give you peace of mind. Treatment:  If cancer is found, treatment can start immediately, increasing the chance of a successful outcome.   When Should You Get a Colonoscopy?        The American Cancer Society, recommends that people at average risk of colorectal cancer start regular screening at age 45.  However, those with a family history of colon cancer or polypsmay need to start screening earlier.   What to Expect During a Colonoscopy?   Preparation:  You will need to clean out your colon before the procedure. This usually involves following a special diet and taking laxatives. Procedure:  The procedure itself usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. You’ll be given medication to help you relax and might not remember the procedure afterward. Recovery:  You will need someone to take you home because of the sedatives used during the procedure. You might experience some cramping or bloating, but this usually subsides quickly.   Overcoming the Fear    Many avoid colonoscopies due to fear of discomfort or embarrassment. However, the procedure is not painful, and the staff is professional and respectful. The benefits far outweigh any temporary discomfort. Take Action  If you’re over 45 or at higher risk, talk to your doctor about scheduling a colonoscopy. It’s a decision that could save your life. Remember, colon cancer is preventable, treatable, and beatable, but only if you take the necessary steps to detect it early.      This PSA is a reminder that preventive healthcare is one of the most significant steps you can take for your long-term health. Don’t let fear or hesitation stand in the way of a procedure that could very well save your life. Schedule your colonoscopy today. For more information, please visit the American Cancer Society’s website or consult with your healthcare provider       Remember, your health is in your hands. Don’t wait until it’s too late.

THE DISRUPTIVE SHIFT

[adrotate group=”1″] Daylight saving time, that biannual clock dance, disrupts our internal rhythms. Here’s how: Health Risks:  The sudden shift messes with our bodies. Researchers link DST to increased risks of heart attacks, strokes, mood disturbances, and hospital admissions. Inflammatory markers spike due to stress, and car crashes become more likely after the spring forward. Energy Conservation Myth:  Benjamin Franklin’s candle-saving idea birthed DST, but today it’s questionable.  Lighting accounts for less energy use, and extending daylight hours encourages more air conditioning and heating. Mood Disorders:  Contrary to popular belief, extra evening sunlight doesn’t necessarily make us healthier. Data suggests DST exacerbates mood disorders, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. Circadian Rhythms:  Sunlight synchronizes our internal clocks.  While evening light is great for outdoor activities, it can disrupt our sleep patterns, making it harder to fall asleep at our usual bedtime. The Two-Hour Gap Now, let’s focus on the peculiar scenario of a state being two hours ahead of the sun. Imagine waking up while the world outside is still cloaked in darkness. Here’s what happens: Darker Mornings:  After DST, mornings become gloomier. The sun rises later, affecting our wake-up routines. On March 9, Milwaukee will see sunrise at 6:11 a.m., but on March 10, it won’t rise until 7:09 a.m. Evening Sunsets: On the flip side, evenings gain extra daylight. By April 15, the sun sets at 7:36 p.m. in Milwaukee, granting 13 hours and 29 minutes of daylight. Trade-Off:  While longer evenings are delightful, the cost is darker mornings. Finding the right balance is tricky. Longest Day of the Year Remember the Summer Solstice? It’s the longest day, when the sun reaches its zenith. This year, Milwaukeeans will bask in 15 hours and 25 minutes of daylight on June 20. The sun rises at 5:10 a.m. and sets at 8:36 p.m. DST isn’t just about adjusting clocks; it’s about recalibrating our lives. As we spring forward, let’s be mindful of the effects—both positive and negative—of this temporal tango with time.  BUT,  Our government officials do not care about OUR HEALTH.  All they care about is having more time to play Golf and enjoy the benefits of their extravagant lives.  Nevermind the average working man’s needs.  I suggest those who want DST should adjust their times to their schedules, NOT force the general  public to observe DST’ers to go along with their whims. DST’ers I ask you.  How much time have you saved.  (SAVED, as a rule means to put aside for use at a later date).  When to you plan to make that withdrawal of time.  Answer YOU HAVE NOT ONE MINUTE IN YOUR BANK.  YOU WILL NEVER USE IT.  Maybe DST should really be called SDT (SUN DELAYED TIME), at least that would be more HONEST!

ORLANDO PULSE CLUB SHOOTING, MY THOUGHTS.

I feel sorrow for the families of both victims, and shooters family.  It is a hard thing to accept on both sides.  That a friend or family member uselessly had their life terminated, or  suffered injury.  Some of which could prove to be a life altering thing.  I am certain the memory will always be life changing.   The shooter’s family, because it has to be hard to accept the fact that someone you knew,cared for, and LOVED,  could possibly be involved in such a cowardly act. By the way ISIS has reportedly admitted they were behind the attack.  CAN YOU SAY “TERRORIST”?  Apparently Barack nor Hillary can’t. Hillary and her gun hating lemmings will have a field day with this one as they always do.  It seems they look forward to unfortunate events, (I don’t particular like to use “event”  here but, I think it adequately fits, the way Hillary/Barack look at this);  It gives them a exvuse to strut their DIS-ARMING AMERICA agenda.  I can’t help but wonder how they would feel if the people they have guarding them were to suddenly lose the guns.  Then the agents would not be there.  I can’t afford to hire people to be my personal guards.  That would put them on equal ground with me. Walking around in a city or country side with no means to protect me from harm.  Many times I read of people in perfectly NICE neighborhoods being injured or killed.  Not just guns,…. But Knives, Arrows, Strangulation, Arson. Beaten to death, just to name a few.  Many times  when I go to major sporting events, or Conventions,  I must make my way on dark streets, or by alleyways, or even recessed doorways.  AND don’t give me that old “police presence” will protect me.  I could be attacked and my assailant far away before the nearest police officer could come to my aid.  BUT,  if I get to my destination I most likely not be allowed to have any means of protection on me.  Thus I am open to attack.   Excuse me for straying a little, however I believe it is important in relating my feeling on these MASS KILLINGS. 1. Have these anti gun people realized. MOST ALL, of these mass killings have been in “gun free” zones.  Schools, Churches, even Government buildings, or annexes. Cowards will take a path of least resistance.  FIFTY people killed.  I just can’t help but wonder why so many killed and injured before police arrived.  After all according to the anti gun people this is why we have them to protect and  prevent something like this from happening.  Always in the right place at the right time.  (Apparently even after they arrived).  Perhaps if one or two of the patrons, or employees had a a legally permited GUN; MAYBE, JUST, one of them could have stopped the perpetrator, before all of the death and injury.  HOW, many people might still be alive?  Uninjured?  If only HALF of them, heck even one would have been saved.  Isn’t that worth something?     Apparently not according to those who want to be like Hitler, and those others whose first steps were to disarm the citizenry).  GEE! Just think if the British had of thought of this we COULD all still be British subjects,  OR overrun by some other country. 2. While, as a CHRISTIAN,  I can’t condone homosexuality.  But neither do I wish to give up my rights to them either.  I, in fact, still can’t stop wondering if a boy in a neighboring school, of mine, who everyone knew was a homosexual, but no one I know of treated him any differently,  BUT the fact that when he “hit the beach” of Viet Nam, It was reported he was the first one killed.  Enemy coincidence, or was he killed by “friendly fire”  I have always wondered about that.   I am affronted by their constant public displays (as a group), (“LGBT”).  It would appear to me,  this group of people were not hurting anyone, they were not  blatantly displaying  their sexuality in anyone’s face,  The assassin may have been known to some of the club attendees,  as it was stated he was a “REGULAR” at the club. BUT it is not my place to judge them.  That is up to GOD.  I am not qualified to say what his Judgement will be.  I guess I am more offended by what appears to me a CALL to put my religious beliefs on the back burner  while demanding I accept their lifestyle.  I treat all people equally, unless they give me reason not to.  Being Homosexual is not one of them.  But I would surely like to be able to use the word “GAY”  properly, and not have it confused with homosexual .   As it is now used, apparently everyone in the 1890’s were homosexual.  “GAY NINETIES”   We even had a little eating place “very small, really good food.  The name was GAY DAN’S. ( meaning a fun place to eat, apparently owned by someone named DAN).  When homosexuals became associated with the word “GAY”  the small eating chain had to close it’s doors. 3. Need for more extensive background checks?  EXCUSE ME!  I believe the FBI investigated Omar Marteen at least 3 times, before he purchased his weapons.  Why this didn’t  trigger a flag on the background check is beyond me.  That seems pretty EXTENSIVE  to me.  In the state where I live we have the NICS background check, even when purchasing a squirrel rifle.  I also know IF there is a flag of something unverified, or whatevere reason, the inquiry comes back with a hold, ( I think of 5 or 7 days), so a more extensive background check can be made. 4. A woman I recall being interviewed  about gun laws,  stated, “All anyone has to do is go online and buy a gun and have it shipped to his door.”  Ignorance of the law is no excuse.  In my state, YES!  I… Continue reading ORLANDO PULSE CLUB SHOOTING, MY THOUGHTS.

What Does Our Future Hold?

While watching recent news casts, and some reality show, which I rarely do, I began wondering, what DOES our future hold?  Will we be prepared? Here in the good old USA,  (The A is there.  It just doesn’t show up too well on a white background).   Our forefathers lived primarily off the land.  Hunting, Trapping, Fishing, and Tilling the land.  Yes we had merchants, who for the most part bartered their wares for their needs.  We now live in a more industrialized nation. Few people are self sufficient any more.  We mostly rely on someone  else to provide our wants and NEEDS.  NEEDS, being the operative word here.  What I will be addressing today is our Needs.  We all want somethings, but we can live without them.  Needs is what it takes for us to maintain life.  If for some reason our Dollar fails, what will we do?  Revert to the way of our forefathers. Today we have a much larger population.  Less farms, and woodlands.  Less farmland means we have less ground to grow our food.  Looking at it this way the farmer has an edge; very slight.  They will be able to grow crops, plant gardens, and may, or may not,  have a wooded area to Hunt and Trap,  or somewhere to Fish. Will they be able to support all of us?  Let’s probe deeper. When I was a child we had an 80 acre farm.  We grew crops, we had a garden we planted every year.  We had livestock, so we had meat, milk, and butter.  We had chickens, so no problem with eggs, or chicken to eat.  In our garden we also had berry bushes.  We knew our neighbors well, even though there may be a mile or more from us.  We knew if there was something we needed, and our neighbor had it they would help us our,  maybe just out of friendship, or maybe they needed or just wanted, we would trade.  Maybe it was feeding their livestock, or pets, while they were away for a day or more.  Maybe, it was something to be made.  My Mother was an excellent seamstress.  My Father was pretty much a Jack of All Trades.  Now, farmers have fields bigger than our farm. On the obverse side of the coin.  Farmers will need fuel for their machinery, Electricity, to run some of their equipment.  But if our dollar collapses, where will they be able to get the fuel?  Barter for it?  Maybe until the current supply runs out.  Then WHAT? During this time how will people react?  Will they be willing to help?  Or will they become hoarders?  Can’t blame them.  Family comes first. So what will you and I do?  Will we become Looters, or poachers.  Living in the city now, I may become a poacher.  Depending on if someone gives me permission to hunt or trap, or fish, on their land.  Unlike the days of our forefathers there is little open wilderness to pursue these necessities.   I can not see myself becoming a looter.  I have heard depression era survivors, admit stealing bread or some food item to feed their family. Now with loss of so much open land, and the increased population, will there be enough wildlife to  support all of us? There is a group out there referred to as “PREPPERS”.  They tend to stockpile food, guns, ammo, etc..   How long will their stores last?  In a prolonged dollar collapse, they too will be in the same boat as the rest of us.  Personally I do not have the funds available to “prep”.  So I will try to keep my rifles, and shotguns, in good shape, and buy a box of ammunition, when I have a few dollars to spare. (Note to self: invest in real traps, not just the ones I built).  But I doubt I could ever amass enough to last.  (Unlike my teen age hunting buddy, I miss occasionally).  It is not like you could stock up on wild game, you need a freezer or some way to preserve the meat.  Some you could make into Jerky, extending it’s shelf life.  (If you know how to do that the old fashion way, without electricity). Communication:  How will we communicate.  If you are like me I must have the TV on or I can’t sleep.  If for some reason it goes off during my sleep hours, I will awake, and stay awake until it comes back on.  I am sure I will adapt, but not without a struggle.  As a HAM radio operator, I will be able to communicate with other HAMs, until my batteries die.  So I suppose I should look into getting some sort of hand crank generator made to be able to charge my HAM equipment.  Or Better yet,  I need to set up a small solar power system just to keep my batteries charged.  (So you see we do have at least one option to electric power, (as long as the solar batteries last). We all need to prepare ourselves.  I’m not saying I believe anything like such a disaster will happen.  But as Benjamin Franklin said in reference to fire prevention: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.  We need to hone our survival skills.  As a whole I think the AMISH people now have the best chance of survival. Maybe I should look into buying a canoe.???? That Is How I See It. Afterthought: Tools are another thing we should be sure we have on hand.     Post Views: 81

False Advertising Or Oversight

What constitutes False Advertising ?  Does anyone know.  I’m sure the lawyers all have a different idea, depending on the side they are defending.  I have my  definition.  False Advertising is the altering, omission, or just plain lying about your product.  When I went to Dictionary.com, it said “ask a lawyer”.  Ha Ha. Here I am only going to deal with a single product.  I don’t use this product because it states one thing which is, as far as I can tell, is false advertising,  But also because I can’t stomach the item it falsely claims as something it isn’t.  By product name.  It is Campbell’s V-8 Juice.  The can states “100 % Vegetable Juice from concentrate….with added ingredients.  First of all if it has added ingredients,  HOW  can it be 100% Vegetable Juice. Now let us look at the JUICES.  Carrots. Okay I guess you can extract juice from carrots. I have never been able to.  I suppose if you put it into a blender and whatever you do with it you may come up with a juice like substance.  But I have never had a juicy carrot. Celery. Well I have had some celery that I would consider juicy. Beets, Yuck.  But I have seen juice around beets when they are served. Parsley.  I am not sure on this one.  When I eat parsley it has at some point been in water, so I don’t know if that is Juicy or watery. Lettuce.  Again I have never been able to extract juice from lettuce. Watercress.  I don’t even know what this is.  I have eaten it in my salads, but again; no juice. Spinach.  Love raw spinach. Hate cooked spinach.  No juice in raw spinach. But I see some slimy stuff when it is cooked, is that juice? Lets see that is 7 vegetables.  But the container says V8.  Suggesting there is Eight Vegetables.  Let me look again. …………No that is all the vegetables listed.  There is a FRUIT listed.  Now we all know Fruit is where the juice is. Hello people, here we are. The folks at Campbell’s appear to  count, TOMATOES, which any school child can tell you is a FRUIT.  (This is the one item that I cannot tolerate). So should not the label say V7 F1.  Just to be honest about the content. I think so. It would appear the Tomato (FRUIT) is the main ingredient. Or any way that is what it looks like to me. False Advertising?  Most likely not.  More like an oversight, or ignorance. I don’t know.  If you like it drink it.  But do remember it isn’t really V8.  In truth it is V7F1. That Is How I See It.

Do Our Legislators THINK

It has recently come to my attention, the evils lurking in the banning of incandescent light bulbs. It seems the new CFL bulbs, or whatever you call the CFLs.  According to an elderly friend of mine , he and his cronies, while sitting at the local diner for morning coffee; (he calls it his coffee break.  He had one at work, and now he needs one to get away from his wi…er, house for a while.  Yeah! That’s the ticket.  Away from the house).  The topic of the proposed LIGHT BAN,  came up. It was at this meeting of the minds, he learned many other people have claimed the new CFLs,  have caused just about everything from regular headaches, stomachaces, tired eyes,(can’t read as long as they “ustacould”),  migraines, a feeling of tiredness, (causing them to have to take an extra nap), angst, and an increased inability to cope with their wife.  And it must be the reason they seem to be getting sick more often. Now taking in all of these “facts”.  Because I know this to be a very stubb….studious group.  How could our legislators possibly disregard their research. and ban incandescent bulbs. After checking these complaints, I have found various articles that support this groups thinking.  So maybe there is something to their statements. HEY ! Legislators,  LOOK into this.  Please. That Is How I See It.                                                          Post Views: 125

Pizza a Vegetable?

Well it looks as if our United States Government, has done it again. No they did not say Pizza is a vegetable.  Only the Sauce. This will be a very short post, because that is all this deserves.  If any at all. Correct me if I am wrong…. But isn’t pizza sauce made out of TOMATOES?     This is just another example of the inept leadership we now have.  If the leaders of our country don’t know a FRUIT; from a Vegetable,   How can they possibly be relied upon to make decisions regarding the SAFETY, HEALTH, and WELFARE of our great country. The TOMATO has been a fruit from the beginning of time.  Come on people.  Do we maybe need to require an IQ test for anyone elected to office. That Is How I See It Post Views: 155
