Rich set our teeth on edge

There is a saying in the Bible, the parents have eaten sour grapes and the children's teeth are set on edge. In refers to the concept that children suffer from the sins of their parents.

In our case, the rich have spread the crumbs of their enterprises to their squabbling children, the Democrats  and the Republicans. They then have the media to blame the other side for their suffering.  And what is surprising, it works. The Democrats and Republicans split each other's throats as the raise prices, take away benefits, and take more of the pie created by the workers. 

The top 1% not take for themselves the same portion they give to the bottom 50% and laugh as the conservatives and liberals cut each other's throats. They don't even give us good candidates any more. Which old fart are you going to vote for?

What's On My Mind

 I thought I would like a place to publish whatever is on my mind.  I am not going to cater to any crowd intentionally.  But I have biases.  I used to blog a lot about a decade ago. I had a few hundred readers on a regular basis and a few thousand on some of my more popular blogs.   But that was then, and now is now.  So, what is different.  Back then, they judged my blog by how much sense I was making and how much I was bringing with my words.  Now, readers will try to identify my bias and decide if I am in their tribe or if I am one of the others.   The merit of my ideas doesn't matter much these days. Most people just take the side their tribe takes.  If they decide I am on their team, then they listen and agree without examining my thoughts, or unfortunately, their own.   So let me tell you what team I am on.  The human team.  Humanoids.  Homospapieans. I would like to say I am a humanist.  I'm an Independent politically.   Okay, but what you want to know if I lean left or

Do Any of Our Politicians Feel Their Connection to Humanity

  I watched Biden's press conference, where he tried to show he was mentally okay, then confused Egypt and Mexico.  I got a text message from Nikki five minutes later saying that Trump is confusing her with Nancy Pelosi and Biden is confusing Egypt and Mexico.  Both old farts are on a downward trajectory as I am at 76.  I can not believe the American people can not make a course correction and elect Nikki.  I am not a big fan of Nikki, but I consider the cognitive decline of our President much more worrisome than someone I don't align with all their policies.  I actually contributed about $50 to her campaign, although resistance is probably futile.  The confidential documents fiasco is another place where they need to throw out all the rules and start over.  Under present rules, everything is confidential.  If I were in charge of the world, I would charge Trump with perjury for his lying about the documents and then slap his wrists.   I would only slap Biden's wrists.  Sayi

Tic TOC agrees to pay Trump $500 million

Everyone knows Trump needs money for his new York judgements. And as you know Congress is in the process of banning Tic TOC from being distributed in the U. S. Tic TOC simply pays Trump's legal bills and Trump gets Republicans to back off on banning  Tic TOC. It's a Win/Win for all the elites that matter.  That's the deal that's going down over the next ten days is it not?  That's the deal that's going down over the next ten days is it not?
