Month: April 2021

The latest police shooting involving a white officer and this time 16 year old African-American girl is making the rounds throughout the media. Of course the main theme is racism, why not, Sars-Covid2 deaths are down, can’t talk about the southern border, Kamala is handling it……..

The officer rolls up on the scene to a girl pinned against a car and another girl ready to swing a knife to the girl against the car. After jumping out of the car he has an opportunity to yell a few hey, hey, hey and then make a decision. He chose to shoot the girl with the knife, game over, girl dead. Almost on the same day two girls aged 13 engaged in the same struggle here in Cincinnati, one being stabbed with a knife both African-American and no police to engage. The one 13 year old died in her father’s arms.

The propagandist media, let’s just call it what it is, jumped on this story, like Acosta jumping on a Trump story. Racism, racism, racism, followed by police reform. The usual rolled out talking heads with the big talking points, blah, blah, blah! There was no coverage of the two girls from Cincinnati. Let’s not forget everyone’s favorite NBA superstar LeBron James adding his high school diploma knowledge to the mix. Well it is true, I as well, only have a high school diploma. I apparently have one thing LeBron doesn’t have, cognitive reasoning. I guess a better way to put it is I don’t have foot in mouth disease!

Our pal LeBron decided to post in the aftermath of this latest shooting, a picture of the officer along with the hashtag YOUR NEXT! Please tell me what that means to you? It seems pretty apparent to me what it means! Hopefully one of my 50 million twitter followers will take you out. One of ESPN’s resident asshats, Max Kellerman even came out in defense of the tweet. The defense was LeBron meant this officer was going to be next to go to jail. Max even went so far as to call anyone who disagreed with his esteemed opinion, uneducated with a low IQ. If you were a politician trying to use it for a story, you are corrupt and on the take.

Here is my take. First Max Kellerman’s opinion literally means nothing, it would take an idiot not to see the meaning in LeBron’s tweet. You must be an NBA suck up narrow minded twit! Oh wait, you were once fired by ESPN for an egomaniacal urge to get paid for more than you were worth. Remember you were the original host of Around the Horn!! LeBron, obviously you have read one too many first pages of many books. Your big claim to fame of being a big reader of books and you have the Instagram posts to prove it, one page one book at a time! If you would have taken the time to read the whole book you would know once you finish the book you would get the full story! Since you basically look at the cover to get your information you had to remove a tweet because you didn’t have the full story, you fool! Now you may have given an excuse as to the deletion of your tweet! but once a fool, always a fool! So Mr. Educated Man you may need to go to college to finish your education on how the world actually works!

So Corporate America, your foray into politics brings many challenges ahead. How will it affect your lobbyists? They are on your payroll, you use them to get policy changed! Will you make the politicians angry at your insolence toward the job they do? Wait some of you have tax breaks given to you in your home states, will it go away? With your ad today in the New York Times are you thinking too globally, not locally? Remember to this day elections are in the states hands to do with as they see fit.

Profits, you have to love profits, they are the life blood of your whole organization. People can loose their job depending on how the profits shake out. As a corporation your employees can take you to the profits you need. You train them, grow them, they perform the job to the maximum attenable levels. Everything is great and prosperous, good for your corporation!

Here is my take. The point all of you are missing is this government has been eroding the work ethic in this country for years. For all of your pandering to Congress and money spent making legislation happen, it is about to bite you in the ass. Thirty years ago, welfare was a help up, now it is a lifestyle. The government has made it so you are all in or you get nothing at all. I worked seven days a week at one point, two of them being in a convince store that accepted food stamps. You see people buying stupid stuff and using food stamps and they have $1200 to spend, my feathers ruffle! When you come into said store and three generations are in the store educating on how to use the system, now I am pissed off.

Corporate America do you see what is in front of you? For all of your pandering to Congress you allowed them to create a lazy society, your workers! The said middle class, from which they gained most of their tax money and gave you, your tax breaks is now fat, lazy and not willing to work. Even before Sars-Covid2 companies were damn near begging people to come work for them. Please take a look out your window, your worst nightmare is about to come true.

The government, your tax benefactor, needs revenue as do you. People aren’t willing to work. Tax revenue down, government bills may need to be paid, guess who pays the bills now, the general public and Corporate America. Congress isn’t going to cut their salary and somebody has to pay guess who is next…… At some point Corporate America is going to go in front of Congress and beg for workers and ask for help. So Corporate America is only willing to pay so much to do a job to keep profits up. Congress is only willing to give a small tax break. Welcome to communist Russia folks, they will tell you the job you will do and how long you will work and the pay you shale receive, but hey 81 million people voted for this timeline.

Since the beginning of the Sars-Covid2 pandemic it’s been wear your mask, social distance, don’t kill grandma and trust the science. My wife and I would have been some of the frontline workers who stood in the face of the pandemic to serve the public, we are bread vendors. March 11th 2020 was the beginning of the pandemic for us. Eleven days in a row we would walk into our supermarkets and mom and pop shops to no bread on the shelf. No wonder, the media was death by virus, death by virus and finally death by virus for months.

So weeks before the mask mandate happened, here we were the frontline workers, exposed to the deadly Sars-Covid2 virus. The panicked public and our fellow bread vendors all close together in one aisle, supposedly the ideal situation for an outbreak of the virus. Corporate America stepped up to combat the virus. Close early to clean and sanitize shelves and areas of the stores, follow up on the mask mandate by making their own mask mask mandates for employees and the public alike. The experts constantly changed the facts to fit constantly changing narrative.

Here is my take. We are a year and a month into this pandemic and the media, corporate America, the experts as well as the mask police are living a dream. If you live in the real world you will come to find out that all the posturing for the virus by these entities has been a complete and utter failure. The general public does not follow your draconian measures. The two week lockdown period to stave off overrun hospitals, never came to pass. One of my fellow bread vendors delivers to a few of the local hospitals, during that period, paramedics and those first responders were sitting around on their phones, not running all over the city to pick up the sick or dead. The hospital was cutting hours of the staff as well.

Corporate America, I hope you don’t think your staffs are following your mask and cleaning edicts, well they aren’t, we have a show folks. If you are in any of these stores before they open, like we are, from store management down to the stock boy, 95% of the employees are not wearing masks! One chain store even goes so far as to have a countdown to have the mask ready before the 6 am opening! We see no cleaning going on anywhere, we see business pre-pandemic!

To the mask police do you recognize what is going on around you? You have shopping options available to you, if you feel uncomfortable out in public. If you walk around making a list and checking it twice before handing over to management as to who has a mask and who doesn’t have a mask, guess what? Management doesn’t care, they still have Corporate America to answer to aka, sales and profits, not your little tattle tale list. They might appease your instant gratification by asking said offender to put on a mask or pull up their mask but as soon as you walk away, mask down or mask off! Happy now?

To the so called experts, you have been so wrong, all along. We have been shoulder to shoulder, nose to nose with other vendors and the public since the beginning of this pandemic. All of us should have been infected with Sars-Covid2 multiple times based on your principles of how this virus works. Guess what, I had the virus in December 2019 before it was a thing in the United States. Guess what nobody else I work with contracted the virus including my wife whom I spend 24/7 with. Go ahead and spout your knowledge and you list of accomplishments, the real world is continuing on, the Earth is spinning, the Sun rises, it sets. This set of issues like some of the ice ages will flesh itself out in time.

Everything is racist these days. Racism is a tool used by Democrats to push their agenda forward. Call something racist pass it on the their useful idiots who go out to the public hollering and screaming racism and call for change! Whip the public into a boycott frenzy if said company wants to be racist we will not shop or buy from you, agenda pushed forward!

First topic on my agenda is Georgia updating and strengthening it’s voter ID laws. They already had on the books showing your ID to vote in person. You now have to show ID for absentee ballots, the thing is, it doesn’t have to be a drivers license. It could be a social security card or a cable bill of all things. Wow that is pretty racist, isn’t it? Joe Biden called the new voter ID laws the return of Jim Crow on steroids. Some quick research and first Jim Crow was not a real person. Secondly, Jim Crow laws were state and local laws that enforced racial segregation in the southern United States. These laws were enacted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by white Southern Democrat-dominated state legislatures to disenfranchise and remove political and economic gains made by black people during the reconstruction period. Jim Crow laws were enforced until 1965. Hmmmm, enacted by white southern Democrats, what party is in charge now? Anyway, Delta Airlines and Cocoa-Cola are headquartered in 7 Georgia both CEO’s came out with statements saying how the new laws were a step back to Jim Crow era laws and racist. Wait, I thought the goal of every company was to make money and reach as many customers as possible.

Major League Baseball, welcome to the club. You didn’t think you would escape woke politics did you? The NFL was indoctrinated with all of the kneeling and National Anthem controversy. The NBA had their China issue. Joe Biden went on ESPN to hammer home the point the new Georgia voting laws were again the return of Jim Crow era. He suggested that MLB move it’s All Star game from Atlanta to a different site to protest these new laws. Well low and behold a couple days later MLB came out with a statement condemning the new laws and they would move the game in protest.

Here is my take. Democrats are trying with success to put politics in the board room. Their agenda to control everything with big government without actual policies of substance is coming to fruition everyday in front of our eyes. The bad thing is their woke subordinates are putting politics in front of profits. NFL ratings were down roughly 20% from 2019. You would think with the pandemic T.V. viewership would be through the roof. NBA ratings are down 30%, what could be going on? The Coke statement regarding the new Georgia voting laws happened on Monday, the stock market price has dropped $1.39 since Tuesday, funny! Delta Airlines got a response from the state of Georgia regarding the new voter ID laws, your $135 million a year tax credit on jet fuel is going to be revoked. As the saying goes, go woke, get broke. I think the conservative crowd and the crowd that are just sick and tired of being told what is racist and wrong with this country are taking their money elsewhere. My wife and I are both football fans and did not watch a single snap of football this year. ESPN got the cold shoulder. I don’t watch the “news” and haven’t in at least 25 years. I do my own research and form my own opinion! Those of us on the other side of the fence also have a voice but we tend to show our voice not jump up and down and scream in your face. Our money will be spent on those companies that join us on the first Tuesday in November every election year to get political, not to push a political agenda on a daily basis.
