As I move on in life being in my fifties, I would like toreflect back at my late friends and family thatthat I had for the years that had carriedme throughout my life. Music bandmates, sportsteammates, co-workers, roommates, hand-out buddiesand most certainly family that I had spent a lot of timewith and had a lot of good times with. They were goodcompany, honest hardworking, non-materialistic friendsthat each I have had for periods of twenty years ormore. Some are still living and some sadly aredeceased.To those good friends of mine who are no longer alive,I want to show how much I remember them and not letthem totally disappear in vain by listing them here as away to show that they will always be in my heart.These people made me feel loved and I miss themdearly.Bill Farlow Jeffery GoldwasserJohn Perkinson Jenifer RomanoFreddie Lohman Patty WinnKyle Ford Joe TornilloKeith Kanakis Richard MartinoAlan Elliot Charley StowTina Miller Walter GrantRon… Read More »To my Late Friends and Family

These nationwide riots are disheartening, yet they arenot very hard to figure out. This reckless activity wasbound to happen around here for a long time. Thesecurrent riots are under of the orchestration of vigil-antiextremist groups (which there are now many) andoutsiders participating in increasing numbers. As timegoes on, you will find that the 2020 rioting was more ofa revolt against oppression, and less about a singlehomicide which is only being used as a symbol of it.This excessive lockdown was the last straw for many.I was one of many who saw this coming. Some ofthese “peaceful protests” are egged on by the left-wingextremists wanting to overthrow the government. Theprotests were said to be initially about one incident, butas they dragged on for weeks, you could tell that theprotestors were in support of the rioting. The protestswere not hijacked, as believed. The majority of themwere a cover.Not many have to take extremism personally fromthose who blow them… Read More »These nationwide riots

It’s an absolute disgrace that we now have our firstpresident in Joe Biden, who lost both the electoral andpopular vote. Biden is the fourth socialist in the White House, making the threat of socialism possible. The election process is now more than likely confirmed to be done for all time. No more free and fair elections. Even if we were to have a third orfourth party (which we should have had a long time ago), it won’t do much good now unless the system gets a serious and practical rehabilitation.This is what happens when Americans have taken solong to wake up and smell the coffee. This just didn’t allhappen in 2020. The virus may have made things moreconspicuous, but these problems have been brewingfor years and people had turned a blind eye to it all. Idon’t blame people for being scared; I myself amscared. But we should have all be scared fifteen yearsago and take… Read More »The Threat of Socialism in the US

Some system we have. Two-men get tried together in amurder case as co-defendants with the same lawyerand for the same crime. This results as s a sentence of25 years to life. One man gets released after 28 yearsfor good behavior, while the other gets released after47 years because his lawyer fought from day 1 to havehis conviction overturned and have him released. Theman who is released on good behavior has apermanent record of murder while his co-defendantfriend has his felony record permanently expunged. Atthis point, nobody knows the credibility of the originalcase, and punishment has officially been given. Thishappens all the time nowadays.Either way this case is, the courts have failed againThere is becoming less justice as law-enforcement isbecoming more and more spotty. This is for tworeasons. Police are doing things too much at randomor abusing their power in other ways. Also, civiliansabuse the use of calling the police to handle frivolousaffairs that are less… Read More »Some system we have

Social media platforms like twitter, FB and Instagram aresupposed to be neutral platforms, not publishers. For along time, they have received the legal protection ofneutral platforms, but if they abuse their platforms, theycan partly or totally lose such protections and have toface the liabilities of what publisher’s face. The case onpotential removal of such legal immunity for socialmedia sites have been a hot topic for some time. It wasperceived as a presidential issue for his posts, but thatis wrong. This has been coming for some time. Hisposts being flagged were simply the “last straw”.Too many other people have had their posts flagged orremoved excessively. Blocking and deletion of postsand tweets is only supposed to be if someone’s life orproperty is in danger, not for people’s emotionalmeltdowns or anger of spoken opinions or claims.However, big social media has taking it too far for theirown partial narratives. Many users don’t think that theirbehavior is a reflection of… Read More »Social Media Platforms

Scripting Team Sports is bad for any sport , when too many fans love the game just to see it get ruined for money. Many people had known the outcome of that Super Bowl 55 as early as December of 2020 (2 months prior), because the rigging of some playoff game results had already been set up. The National Football League had been rigging games to make the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the first team to win a super bowl intheir own stadium, and to make Tom Brady the oldestplayer to win the Super Bowl MVP. Tom Brady hastraditionally been a personal favorite of NFLCommissioner Roger Goodell. Goodell has openlycompared the NFL to World Wrestling Entertainmentseveral times previously, as that making fairy tales outof the game like this is entertainment. This in his ownwords, meets the bottom line of the league’s biggestsponsors and satisfies the growing sports bettingindustry.Officiating crews of the NFL also agree that this… Read More »Scripting Team Sports

What a shame. A friend of mine who owned andoperated her own boutique for over 12 years now hassold her store. It turns out that she had received theCOVID-19 Vaccine at a local pharmacy. She was one of many who didn’t know that the risks outweigh the benefits. Upon the jab, she had a life-altering reaction to the vaccine that hasput her in a wheelchair for life. All she can move is herhead, her forearms and hands. She now needs assistive living care for an indefinite period of time. I have visited her a few times. She sold her store as topay for her electric wheelchair and a full-time nurse totake care of her while she is on the list for service fromthe state of New Jersey. She is in her late thirties, andnever had any health issues until now. I am not anti-vaccine, but these mandates are on a“One-size fits all” basis rather than… Read More »Risks Outweigh the Benefits

There have been rigged games gone wrong. One example is this. Before the NFC divisional playoff game between the L.A. Rams and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on January23, there was a decision made officially by executivesin the NFL commissioner’s office to have theBuccaneers be awarded the trophy for Super Bowl LVI,scheduled for February 13, 2022. The decision camewith plans to rig games so that the Buccaneers would“win” every game on up and including to the SuperBowl. This means that the involved coaches, playersand management would need to be “casually”informed, including the most important part; theconclusion. This would require subtle channels ofcommunication without the risk of leaking to the pressor the fans.And so, there was a reason for the sudden surge offumbles by the Rams in the final 25 minutes of thegame after having been leading 27 to 3. Unfortunatelyfor the Buccaneers, the field goal kicker was notproperly informed. Just before the end of the 4thquarter,… Read More »Rigged Games gone Wrong

Let’s use former New York State governor Andrew Cuomo as a prime example of corrupt politics and how it can sway supporters long term. Supporters of Andrew Cuomo, (whatever ones are left) will tell you that nobody loved New York more than him, and especially loves the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, thinking that it wouldn’t operate well if he was still in office.However, it was Andrew Cuomo who put out and executive order ten years ago to cancel maintenance on the sewage and drain systems that provide water to escape. He also sharply reduced the money for renovations on streets that had undergone construction from utility digging. That’s why there are so many floods in subway tunnels now in New York City. I don’t think he had taken a NYC subway or bus for over 40 years. People saying “nobody loved NYS more thanhim” is a surprise to me.Some think Andrew Cuomo had who fought the… Read More »Prime Example of Corrupt Politics

Among other things, patronizing can be Like discriminating people based on gender or race and takes away from the credibility or success and makes the question for having something earned even bigger. It affects every aspect of life.People getting rewarded based on what gender or race rather then merit or achievement. Everyone talks aboutdiscriminating people but few talks about patronizing people.It’s nothing new either. For example, baseball greatJackie Robinson is in the baseball hall of fame, has hisnumber retired on every baseball team in the US(including those teams not existing in his time), but notfor the right reasons. But here’s the interesting part.Everyone today knows he is a black man. But mostpeople who don’t follow baseball don’t know very muchelse about him, his accomplishments as an athlete, hislife or even where he’s from. Some people don’t evenknow he was an American. So, for all the hardship andhard work he had underwent to play baseball, he… Read More »Patronizing can be Like Discriminating
