She’s hired!

That was perfect. Yesterday I began to feel fed up with the lack of news reliability with what’s available. BION, I am spending more time taking care of my family, less time on DeFaceBuhk, and more time on my art teaching career. I don’t have time to scour for that gold nugget which is a reliable briefing on the news.

Today I have reached it up to here. ShittyNews fatigue has overcome me. Every “fact” I’ve heard about the Chinese Virus situation has been reported both ways: 180 degree variety on the news. Today I read that Bill gates is pouring Chinese KoolAid down our throats. “They beat the epidemic! Why cant we?” That retarded gentleman with way too much money; I should’ve dropped him when I had him up on that rope.

Advice please.

I only watch our Governor DeWine’s reports.
T’hell with t’Trump.

In 2004, DeWine co-sponsored an amendment to renew the Federal Assault Weapons Ban. He has repeatedly received an “F” rating from the National Rifle Association.[77] He was endorsed by the National Rifle Association for Governor.[78] He was one of only two Republican Senators to vote against the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act,[79] which banned lawsuits against gun manufacturers, distributors and dealers for criminal misuse of their products. In the 2006 election cycle, DeWine was the first senatorial candidate to be endorsed by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and displayed that endorsement on his campaign webpage.[80] In 2019, Governor DeWine proposed a Red Flag Law for Ohio that would allow courts to take a gun from a person if they are seen as a threat to others or themselves.[81]/ Wikipedia.

The media today is a day care center with video cams.
They are not factual nor do they even try to be, and they don’t even have any entertainment value.
Like flying through a storm with no sight and no gauges – you’re on your own.

Shown as a threat by whom, Casey? Ah, there’s the rub! Who decides? “They, the plain and fancy they”, whoever they are. Welcome to the Star Chamber.

H.

WTF you talkin; ’bout? Did I write “threat”?

Oh, I see it now. In the wikipedia quote. Yes, red flag laws are only sensible to commies. Normal people see straight through them instantly. When Gladys Kravitz is in charge of my guns…

Once by the Pacific

The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.
The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
The cliff in being backed by continent;
It looked as if a night of dark intent
Was coming, and not only a night, an age.
Someone had better be prepared for rage.
There would be more than ocean-water broken
Before God’s last Put out the light was spoken.

— Robert Frost

At the Sulzberger’s Summer Home

Bright blooms of flame spattered shadows on that tide
Whose strangling fingers clawed into our lands,
And scraped out slots, fresh graves upon our sands.

A far-off signal flared and sputtering fell,
Its bloom of sparks erupting deep in slate,
But, like our last edition, this signal came too late.

The drumming bursts of broken cannons
Stomped along the edges of our gilded cage,
And faded like the lies we smeared on our front page,

Faded until all we heard of want or wish or war
Were the screams of our grandchildren slain
Beyond our gilded sand, upon our once fruited plain.

— Van der Leun

Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
