My Weekly Irritations!

August 28,2024

“To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the supreme excellence.” Sun Zi, Chinese Emperor, Fifth Century.

Zuckerberg finally admitted that the Biden/Harris DOJ pressured him to censor stories on Facebook. Can you imagine the impact on the 2020 election? Facebook has 1.8 billion viewers with posts available in 118 languages. The censorship was directed at the Republicans and Trump. The FBI told FB that Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation.

My Walmart has gone to 100% self-checkout. This morning, I saw 6 WM employees standing near the 7 self-checkout stations. Madness!

Oregon and Minnesota are offering $30,000 to new home buyers, as long as the recipients are non-citizens. Taxpayer money going to unknown people, from unknown places.

California is worse. That state just passed a law offering $150,000 to illegal immigrants to use as a down payment on a new house. What’s tied to that sneaky proposal is a social security card. Just another way to get “qualified voters.” And- Newsome most likely will veto the bill to show he’s a “moderate.” All of this is deliberate. Madness!

Democrat Governor Maura Healey of Mass. has declared a “state of emergency” within the state’s social services and education departments. The state is overwhelmed with illegal immigrants.

Don’t do it!!!

Lowes Corporation announced cutbacks to its DEI program. The NC based company says it will focus more on “core” business issues like affordable housing, and skilled trades education. Lowes has 1,700 stores and 300,000 employees. Of course, the LBGTQ+ groups have reacted negatively.

If you criticize a Black person for gross incompetence and lying, you are not a racist. WH Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has lied to the American public for 27 months. She once told the American people that Joe Biden “works circles around all the WH Staff.” She fielded many questions from the WH Press Core about Biden’s competency and lied repeatedly. These lies were not “spins” or half-truths, they were blatant lies.

Harris is proposing taxes on “unrealized” capital gains. if you own 100 shares of stock worth $50/share or $5, 000 and that stock price rises to $55/share, on paper you have a capital gain of $500. Harris wants to tax that! There is not an economist or financial advisor that supports this looney idea. Of course, it would kill the investing industry and the American economy. Harris is dangerously stupid.

The WNBA is hosting “Barbie Night” at several of their games. I guess it is fun for the young girls. Tickets prices range from $180 to $500. I wonder who gets that money?

PS- there must be “big bucks” in gutter guards. Every day on the Internet there are 6-8 articles about buying gutter guards and which types are the best. UGH!
