EPSTEIN FILES ARE NOW OLD NEWS

 

He has done it again.  Teflon Donald.   He has managed to steer the news outlets away from the Epstein files, to Ukraine and Putin. 

But anyway

This is a great group

ELECTRIC RICE COOKER

 

Cooking rice on top of a stove is like driving an old standard-shift automobile; it requires constant attention.

 

Electric rice cookers can do the job with no fuss.   If you eat rice, the electric rice cooker is the most obvious choice.

 

Cookers range from fifteen dollars to hundreds.  So, you need to ask yourself, how much rice do you need, and how often do you cook rice?

 

Our old rice cooker finally gave up the ghost

 

My wife and I eat rice occasionally, so spending the big bucks for a cooker didn’t make sense.

 

We recently bought an Aurora six-cup, fifteen-dollar rice cooker.   We have used it three times, and each time the rice scorched on the bottom.   

The beauty of buying it at Walmart is that we can return it with no hassle.

You buy cheap, it’s a crap shoot.

CREAPING FASCISM

 

Fuck the Epstein Files!

Democrats need to quit focusing on the short term.  Trump is not a bright man, but he has reptilian survival instincts.

 

On the pretense of rampant crime, Trump has deployed active-duty military to Washington, D.C.

 

He plans to systematically deploy active-duty troops to other cities on the premise of crime deterrence.

 

This is a smoke screen.  It is comparable to boiling a frog in cold water.

 

The public and the military will become accustomed to active-duty troops deployed in cities with large minority populations that lean toward the Democratic Party.

 

During the next Presidential election, Trump will claim voter fraud and task the military, which is already deployed, to seize voting machines in the states where he loses; declaring martial law, he will use the military to remain in office as President for Life. 

 

If Democrats lose the House and Senate during the midterms, future children in school will learn the Pledge of Allegiance to Donald J. Trump.

REGARDLESS OF TRUMP, LIFE GOES ON

 

 

The Donald Trump Show.  Brought to us by President Joe Biden and Merrick Garland.

 

My wife and I watches the morning news.  The news is Trump, Trump, Trump. We watches the night news: Trump, Trump, Trump…

 

Yesterday it was Trump, Trump, Trump…  It will be Trump tomorrow, Trump next week, next year, the next, the next… 

 

Let’s not fool ourselves, Trump has no plan to leave after this term of office.

 

With that in mind, I will ignore Trump and offer some product reviews over the next few blogs.

 

 

SPECTRUM INTERNET

Our local internet provider has been bought out by Spectrum Internet.     The switch over was automatic.   Here in rural Maine, the switch didn’t leave us much choice.

 

Spectrum made an appointment with me two weeks ago for the installation; they were prompt, on time, courteous, and the representative helped me set up all of my streaming equipment.  There has been a delay in retrieving my original telephone number, but Spectrum reps have kept in contact with me and have been supportive and courteous.

 

 

I was leery of Spectrum.  My internet search uncovered hundreds of dissatisfied customer reviews.

 

So far, I have had a positive experience with Spectrum.   It is possible that the thousands of people who have positive experiences with a product don’t post reviews, so reviews are skewed by the people who have complaints.

 

The only thing I want from an internet provider is for them to be invisible.   I want to turn on my computer or my television and access the internet seamlessly.

 

So far, so good.

YOU WON’T FIND THIS IN A HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY BOOK

 

NAGASAKI, JAPAN, AUGUST 9, 1945

Eighty years ago today, August 9, 1945, the United States dropped a nuclear bomb on the civilian population of Nagasaki, Japan. 

Three days earlier, on August 6, the U.S. had bombed the civilian population of Hiroshima, instantly killing 70,000 of the civilian population of 255,000.

The second bomb was unnecessary, as the Japanese had already signaled their intention to surrender.  (Read American Prometheus Oppenheimer.) 

 

The bomb over Nagasaki detonated 1,600 feet above the city, with the force of 21,000 tons of TNT, instantly disintegrating or burning to death 40,000 of the 195,00 population. With 100,000 deaths estimated by the end of the year. 

The eventual death toll of the two bombs could range as high as one-quarter of a million men, women, children, and the elderly.

Birth defects in Japan as a result of radiation continued for generations. 

(Too disturbing to show.)

When you win a war, you can delete any history that is disturbing.

DESPITE TRUMP, LIFE GOES ON

 

Two years ago, during a winter nor'easter snowstorm, I had to drive at night from Portland, Maine, 100 miles to my home in the Western Maine mountains.  My headlight lenses were yellow from age.

 

In the dark, with visibility probably no more than fifteen yards, and headlights barely lit the highway, the trip was harrowing.

 

Headlight replacement on an older car is ridiculously expensive, so I decided to clean the lens myself.

 

After searching YouTube, I settled on a product that does not require a power drill for sanding and buffing.

 

I purchased Griot’s Ceramic headlight restorer.    I followed the simple instructions, which were easy even at my age.

 

One year later, the lenses are still clear.

 I don't advertise for any product company.   

 But there is no need for anyone to drive at night with yellow opaque headlights when products on the market can restore headlight lenses.

I DON’T LIKE THAT NEWS. GIVE ME GOOD NEWS

 

 

Trump fired the Labor Statistics Chief because he did not like the job market data. 

If the doctor says you have cancer, don’t take the treatment – just fire the doctor. 

 

 

My lord, the labor statistics are not good.

That is fake news.  Fire the Chief of Labor Statistics. Bring me some other news.

My lore, labor statistics are good. 

Ah!  Good news.  My diplomacy triumphs.
