The FBI announced today that with the aid of a third party they have successfully unlocked that I-Phone that they had previously sued Apple to force the company to write new software to bypass the security/privacy settings on the phone. I heard a report that the data retrieved was encrypted and that it would take the government time to decipher the information. Personally I think it’s all a scam… the FBI needed a way out that would save face since the courts were siding with Apple. So the FBI has fabricated this story about finding a way into the phone’s databanks without Apples help. That’s why they have also said the data is encrypted… it gives them time for the general public…
Read morePrimary Day in Florida
Well today is most likely dooms day for Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential run. Kasack might hang in there a bit longer if he manages to win in his home state of Ohio. And then it will be down to two… Trump and Cruz. The good news is that Florida isn’t likely to be the brunt of any election jokes this year. That’s because the entire election process from nomination to election day is going to be such a monumental joke on a national scale.. I don’t think I have to go too far out on the limb when I say by the time Election Day arrives we are all going to be physically sick from watching and listening to all…
Read moreThe Silly Season
The Silly Season is about to get underway… The first of the 2016 Presidential Primaries is going to happen in Iowa on Monday. That is if you can call what they do in Iowa a vote. I’m not convinced that anyone knows exactly how they decide who wins and who looses. Caucasus participants are forced to endure hours of boring speeches and protocol and in the end nobody takes a tally of how many people support each candidate, but a winner is ultimately declared. As screwed up as the process in Iowa is, it boggles my mind that everyone puts so much credibility to the outcome. It’s the first of 52 primaries that are to take place and in respect…
Read moreOscar, Pure White Under All That Gold?
The Oscar nominations were announced yesterday and once again certain race baiters have pointed out the lack of nominees of color implying that the Motion Picture Academy is nothing but a bunch of racist old white folk. Angel from the morning radio show The Monsters in the Morning was making the argument that most of the 6,000 members of the Motion Picture Academy that vote for the nominees don’t have the time or the interest to watch the lesser known and therefore often overlooked movies featuring black actors, producers and directors. I’d take that thought just a little bit further and make the argument that if the object of making a movie for our black actors, producers and directors was…
Read moreThe Wiz
I watched the live performance of the Wiz last night on NBC… The costumes were great and the show as a whole was entertaining, however there was one slight deviation that they took from the original story that left me wandering… ‘What the hell were they thinking’? When it came time for the Wiz to send Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tinman and the Lion on their quest to prove they were worthy it wasn’t to bring back the wicked witch’s broom they were told to outright kill her. Now I grant you in the original story Dorothy splashes water on the old hag, which causes her to melt and she’s dead. However, they didn’t set out to kill her it was an…
Read moreAnimal Cruelty or Just Plain Stupidity?
Once again an instant of animal cruelty has become the most important news story on the planet. Some lady put duck tape on her dog’s snoot to shut him up… took a picture of it and posted it on social media and the rest is history. Of course the picture went viral as did the backlash towards the dog’s owner. Due to the numerous calls to the police they felt obligated to expend resources to track down the woman and have now brought animal cruelty charges against her despite the admission by the woman that the duck tape was only on the dog for one minute. Is this what society has become? We react to anything on social media as…
Read moreDonald Trump
I’m not sure when it is going to happen… I can only hope that it does. Donald Trump finally says something or does something that will awaken the American people so they too can see the man for the big blow heart that he is. He thinks nothing about calling others idiots, stupid, morons, pathological, ect. ect ect. He’s making grandiose policy statements that our current economic situation will never support. He may be a brilliant businessman… lord knows he frequently tells us so, but you can be the most effective manager on the planet, but if you don’t have the money to backup your ideas those ideas are going no where. Besides the fact that we could never come…
Read moreVeteran’s Day
Today is the one day that our politicians have set aside to honor and give thanks to those men and women who serve and have served in our military… protecting the freedoms that we enjoy on a daily basis. The president makes his annual appearance to lay a wreath at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and make a speech about the state of our veteran affairs. This year’s speech wasn’t much different from those given before… the president brags on what a great job his administration is doing providing medical treatment, emotional support and job training to those who serve in our military. It’s too bad we can’t all be wearing the same rose colored glasses that President Obama…
Read more3rd GOP Presidential Debate
We need leadership in Washington… Blah Blah Blah. I’ll be that leader… Blah Blah Blah. I can get the job done… Blah Blah Blah. I have a plan… Blah Blah Blah. I’ve done this that and the other thing… Blah Blah Blah. What an absolute waste of everyone’s time. What’s worse is there were moments when I thought I was listening to a Democrat debate. There needs to be income equality… Blah Blah Blah. We need to raise the minimum wage… Blah Blah Blah. The richest American’s don’t pay enough tax… Blah Blah Blah. What is wrong with Washington is painfully obvious and the minions on stage last night just exemplified the problem.
Read moreUS House Speaker
WTF! Kevin McCarthy drops out of the race to be elected the next US House Speaker and the whole process goes through a meltdown? Oh my Oh my… what shall we do? How about follow the protocol and get the job done. How pathetic are you when you can’t even conduct a simple election amongst yourselves to choose a successor for the retiring Speaker of the House. When McCarthy bowed out there were two other names in contention… what was so wrong with choosing from those two? Instead the current Republican leadership went into panic mode apparently trying to get someone with right set of qualifications to step up to the plate. Mean while the Democrats are having a field…
