E-bike for kids , voting (R) same outcome

 Parents who buy e-bikes for their kids AND vote Republican / Trump get the same OUTCOME often.

Disease 2026 Beets jar lid unsealed!

 I just reached for a 16 oz jar of pickled beets from "Great value" a Walmart generic brand.  Fortunately, I discovered a DEEP PUNCTURE DENT in the side of the metal lid! Pressing on the top "button" it moves rather than being rigid, likewise using a manual can opener to pry up the lid no air sound could be heard! 

Was this product damage simply careless packing somewhere or was it done deliberately? Was any substance injected into the gashed opening probably not likely but I will discard the product anyway.  The problem is how many hungry consumers particularly (SNAP) recipients like myself would notice this possible health hazard AND GO ABOUT THROWING AWAY their food?

If this product damage was done deliberately and the jar of beets was OPENED purposely to insert a foreign substance how widespread could this ATTACK be occuring in the US FOOD CHAIN since Walmart is the largest grocery chain in the country and many canned, shelf stable foods are distributed to FOOD PANTRIES in every state?? 

It's worth remembering there's EVEN a partisan divide about FOOD ASSISTANCE especially that from Federal and State dollars including jealousy attacks from those found ineligible for free food!!

This means there may be attacks on food destined or believed to be destined for food banks or likely to be bought by SNAP / EBT beneficiary's such as GENERIC and STORE BRANDS !   

Large DCs may be unknowingly sending bad items nationwide?

INFLATION increasing ABORTIONS

 The anti-abortion Trump regime is inadvertently increasing the rate of abortions (& decreasing the US birthrate) by constantly raising the cost of living.  

Trump's anti-family campaign like most of the GOP agenda is all about negativity and chaos by a bunch of unqualified, political cultists incapable of planning anything intelligently to increase benefits for the majority of the American people.

Conservative Christians still supporting this regime are deeply mired in a "world of shit" while the regime keeps promising them EVERYTHING IS FINE!

IS 'CAPTAIN CHAOS' REALLY THE GREAT SATAN?

Naziyahu making Ukraine model

 Israeli dictator Benjamin Nazi-yahu is providing Vladimir Putin a continuing MODEL of what to do with rebellious Ukraine.  

Bomb it to dust, population and all then annex it and make the territory his own!

(SOVIET) RUSSIA IS INSPIRED BY ISRAEL.

US-AID CUTS to cull world population by neglect.= MAGA!

 Trump & DOGE cuts to US-AID follows a simple rational ordered by SS chief Steve Miller.

1) More deaths from disease, and malnutrition in the third world will automatically reduce the numbers of migrants trying to cross US borders!

2) Third world diseases that spread to the United States, like COVID-19 because they were not stopped overseas are fine too because  more deaths here will cull the populations of weak people with preexisting conditions dependant on government services wasting taxpayers money!

3) The remaining healthy,strong population of Americans will truly make it "Great Again" like that of Xi's China, rebuild our military branches, infrastructure and productive industry!

4) AMERICA WILL BE A GREAT PARADISE FOR BILLIONAIRES ONLY!!  

END US-AID CORRUPTION AND WASTE!

 US FOREIGN AID is an enormous, ossified, Soviet style, bone brained BUREAUCRACY which uses tax payer money to reward giant, well connected beltway, corporate middle men. 

Who are the real "Welfare Queens" preying on the Federal budget while dispensing very little food aid overseas where it is actually needed.  

US-AID seems to be mainly an artificial construct of Washington lobbiests doling out easy tax money to the fat greasy hands of the corporate-state.

Now scrambling to cover up and justify their waste by avoiding talking to the media except by presenting ridiculous stacks of glossy output propaganda.  

US FOREIGN AID, like private monopolies, needs to be broken up, creatively restructured, assigned an Inspector General and forced into transparency!  

Finally its culture must become open to searching for and incorporating BEST PRACTICES in all its avenues of distribution !  

THE LATE PRESIDENT Carter WOULD HAVE IT NO OTHER WAY!!  🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

TRUMP'S "IMAGINATION"

 DJ Trump is America's first national leader with untreated Dyslexia AND ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER (ADHD) .  This alone explains why he has chosen the cabinet portfolio that he so far has. His most telling statement during the 2024 election cycle was likely missed by the media and the pundits!  "Nothing wrong with a little IMAGINATION" !

This word, Ms Kamala, is ALSO why the HARRIS WALZ campaign lost the election, they LOST THE PUBLIC'S "IMAGINATION".  The Dum-o-crats were so fixated on institutionalist slogans, behavior and cut & dried ideology that they bored people to death. 

While Trump was LETTING HIMSELF GO emotionally and intellectually.  Kamala's monotonous repeating of "Unhinged" gradually lost its meaning while Donald was having FUN acting harmlessly 'unhinged' for the public's increasing amusement !    

TikTok was stuffed full of Trump parodies which rather than irritating Mr. Trump actually gave him more publicity and kept his name & face in  view far longer than it would have otherwise.   The "grooving to the oldies"  on stage stunt.  The Garbage truck driving stunt, The McDonald's drive thru stunt, The Eating cats & dogs rap songs, etc, etc. 

 Now his "Unhinged Fun" show is continuing with crazy "concept in my head" federal agency nominations!   

ONE OF THE KEY FEATURES OF A.D.H.D. is a patient's CONSTANT NEED FOR " NOVELTY" experiences!  Visual novelty, novelty situations, auditory novelty, social novelty (unconventional friends) organizational novelty, (change) etc. 

TRUMP'S infamous short attention span is also a classic symptom of ADHD.   GROWING UP IN NEW YORK CITY is one of the absolute best ways to develop ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER as a child & a teen!  I know it's me too and was me too as well 1960 - 1988 !! 

HARRIS WALZ Carter campaign '24?

 I'm a little apprehensive that the Harris Walz ticket is looking like Jimmy Carter did in 1976 all feel good with no stated substance on anything!  

 Maybe this is what the Obama's were thinking too when they hesitated before endorsing her as a candidate ? 

 Another problem may be in looks?  Yes Kamala's SMILE is gorgeous but on the other hand her very long brunette hair now will likely not be an asset when the stresses of the top job turn it grey or white as it does most chief executives in the White House after the honeymoon years end! (unless she follows Trump with orange hair treatments ?) 

 It must be terribly hard on her to change gears so late and so abruptly but the alternative is being a female Jimmy Carter facing off against a fake Ronald Reagan in November! 

HARRIS BIDEN 2024!

 HEY JOE don't step down just STEP BACK! 

You were VP to a Black man in 2012 now become a VP AGAIN to a black Woman who's highly qualified to lead the Democrats to a second term!

If a highly unqualified, guilty person like Trump could be a nominee anything is possible including a former President becoming a 2nd term VICE PRESIDENT to save his party from the public's doubts! 

Stay behind her with wise advice while you get some rest and a reduced daily workload!

HOW TO KNOW A PERSON

 I just realized Author & commentator DAVID BROOKS .....

 looks like DAN AKROYD in the eyes! 

ITS NPR PLEDGE SEASON AGAIN

 REMEMBER WITHOUT ALL YOU LISTENER SUSTAINERS 

WE could never provide all those monotonous advertisements for your amusement because you are our "Nielson ratings" providers!  

Without you our advertisers (we'd rather call them "underwriters") would have no target markets to pitch their products and services to!  

And while we will never admit to you sustainers that your continued support may have REPLACED ONE OR MORE monotonous commercials this month honestly if we did we might get even more sustainers and have no more space for our loyal annoying ads!  

You know like the never changing MATH JERKS , 25 million pederasts, No clues A. I., etc etc.

Even though commercial public media started as a Right wing conspiracy we at NPR have grown so accustomed to endless ads we're actually fond of them and so greatly enjoy bringing them to you our wealthy listeners that we would never, ever call them anything negative such as annoying or monotonous!

SO BE SURE TO VISIT OUR MANY SPONSORS AND TELL THEM YOU HEARD THEM ON NPR, PBS or your local stations!  - Tell them NEWT SENT YOU! 

NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO ANOTHER VICTIM OF REPUBLICAN WAR ON THE U.S. QUALITY OF LIFE .

It's almost SPRING again and among other seasonal rituals is my local NPR now heavily commercialized "Public" radio station's first big funding drive of the year where they continuously beg listeners to donate money, used cars, estates or their free time to SUPPORT the station's programming. Immediately following each begging monologue our robot like AD LADY blares out the same four words "SUPPORTED BY" ..... "AND FROM"........... followed by a chain of wordy, often monotonous commercial spots repeated predictably on the dot EVERY FIFTEEN MINUTES day in and day out.

Always prefaced by "Listeners" who supposedly are still considered important contributors but, judging by the deluge of commercial spots,  seem to only have the function of providing "ratings" to attract MORE potential commercial "underwriters" .   I am old enough to remember when PUBLIC BROADCASTING was commercial free or was able to get by with only a few corporate and foundation ads which didn't detract (and DISTRACT) from the listening or viewing experience.

Then the Congressional Republican activists began their assault on "liberal bias" in PBS and NPR and argued successfully against most FEDERAL funding supporting the public network'

 high quality programming.  Since then (Newt Gingrich and Jesse Helms) the TV and radio stations have had to seek other sources of financial support from many foundations and increasingly from commercial advertising the same demon which has polluted so much of Western culture, identity and the democratic process itself. (The suspect behind the Brexit and Trump disasters by schooling the public to crave instant gratification in everything, expect life to be "quick and easy" and the right to demand whatever they desire whenever they desire it)

NPR Ethno centricism?

I listen to my local NPR station daily except when I'm listening to my local Latino station/s and frequently I hear the announcers making reference to it's listeners who work in "offices" as if there were no OTHER place to work and no other listeners EXCEPT "professionals" who work in an "office" and use a "computer" to do everything.

I happen to be an intelligent, middle aged, non-hispanic, white male who has always worked at low wage, unskilled jobs that are nowhere NEAR an "office" or a "computer" except those items used by the manager or boss! It's about time NPR and the rest of the professional class look around them and learn to see the many Americans who are learning-disabled, too poor for college, recent immigrants, skilled tradespeople and so on who're never the less, just as interested in world affairs, culture, literature, Art, Music and political insight as the professional class pretends to be.

Next time you refer to "your loyal listener's" occupations, why not mention those listening on the factory floor, the body shop, the work-station, the restaurant kitchen and so on. We Think too, Get used to it.

GOP CENSORS NPR

Alright already, we KNOW Repugnikans are STUPID and the Pee Party full of racist ignoramuses. But when they launch a blatent campaign to censor Public Broadcasting (Radio & TV) by stripping it of it's already tiny share of public funding, then we also see that the Repugnikans are corrupt too because they favor junky, commercial-laden, sensationalist, corporate medias which pay them hefty bribes & treat them to porn shows of all kinds. To Repugnikans keeping Americans as ignorent and underinformed as possible is the best "public service". The less we know, the more they can get away with! (That's why they started their attack on NPR soon after Watergate was exposed!)
