True Version of the Three Bears Story
A far more accurate account of the events of that fateful morning....
Baby bear goes downstairs, sits in his small chair at the table. He looks into his small bowl. It is empty.
'Who's been eating my porridge?' he squeaks.
Daddy Bear arrives at the big table and sits in his big chair... He looks into his big bowl and it is also empty.
'Who's been eating my porridge?!?' he roars.
Mummy Bear puts her head through the serving hatch from the kitchen and yells,
For God's sake, how many times do I have to go through this with you idiots?
It was Mummy Bear who got up first.
It was Mummy Bear who woke everyone in the house.
It was Mummy Bear who made the coffee.
It was Mummy Bear who unloaded the dishwasher from last night and put everything away.
It was Mummy Bear who swept the floor in the kitchen.
It was Mummy Bear who went out in the cold early morning air to fetch the newspaper and croissants.
It was Mummy Bear who set the damn table.
It was Mummy Bear, who walked the bloody dog, cleaned the cat's litter tray, gave them their food, and refilled their water.
And now that you've decided to drag your sorry bear-arses downstairs and grace Mummy Bear with your grumpy presence,
Listen carefully, because I'm only going to say this once...
'I HAVEN'T MADE THE F......... PORRIDGE YET!
New English Word
New English word: Every once in a while somebody hits it right out of the park…. Not yet found in the Oxford dictionary, but discovered to be a "coined" new word on T-shirts sold on eBay: Read slowly, absorb the facts that in this definition! I love this word and believe it will become widely recognized. Finally, a brand new English word that describes not only the present but our future:
INEPTOCRACY - A DEFINITION
Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers .
World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is set to hold its annual meeting for heads of state and executives next week in the alpine resort town of Davos, Switzerland, as the global economy teeters on the verge of recession.
This year's forum will be the first at its usual time in mid-January since the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was canceled in 2021 and postponed to May last year, resulting in reduced attendance. It's scheduled to begin Monday and will run through Friday.
World Economic Forum President Borge Brende noted the economic headwinds hanging over this year's event.
"There is no doubt that our 53rd annual meeting in Davos will happen against the most complex geopolitical and economic backdrop in decades," Brende said.
Attendance is expected to be back to its typical level when the forum begins next week. Brende pointed to "record participation" by at least 52 heads of state, more than half of them from Europe, and nearly 300 government ministers. Several recently elected leaders will attend the event for the first time in their current roles, including President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. of the Philippines, President Gustavo Petro of Colombia and President Yoon Suk Yeol of South Korea.
Several Biden administration officials, including Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, FBI Director Christopher Wray, U.S. Agency for International Development Samantha Power and U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai will attend.
Additionally, senators Chris Coons, D-Del.; Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.; and Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., will reportedly be in Davos as part of the U.S. delegation. READ MORE...
World's Elite in the Swiss Alps
Ever since the very first civilization was created, we have always had a group of elites who lived differently from the people over which they ruled. It started with power and military might and gradually changed over to wealth as one group sold what the others needed.
The wealthy sold items like: food, shelter, vehicles, clothes, shoes, pots and pans, cleaners, machinery, appliances, computers, computer chips, utilities, entertainment, etc. Companies would buy out their competition allowing them to grow bigger and bigger.
Then those who purchased goods and services as they were able to generate more than they needed demanded more and more, allowing those companies to become wealthier and wealthier.
A American company moves down to Mexico and pays the worker $1 an hour which is twice what they were earning. A year later, those same workers want $5 and hour. The American company pays the increase but raises its prices to compensate. The American company get wealthy in the process because most of their expenses remained the same and they were able to increase profits.
The Mexican worker did not care about what they were doing until the American company shut its doors because their labor costs were too high... The Mexicans went back to $.50/hour and cussed the American company.
Not everybody is a farmer... but damn near everybody has to buy food from a farmer if they want to survive... The farmer gets wealthy... and that's how it works.

Broccoli & Cheese Soup
I cut up on broccoli bunch along with one onion and heat them in a pot of water. Once they are soft, I pour the mixture into a Ninja blender and mix it up for 2-3 minutes, maybe a little longer to make sure it is all liquid.
Back into the pot the mixture goes, and I add two tablespoons of soup starter from Creamy Cauliflower and Creamy Mushroom containers. I got these containers from Yoder's an Amish store nearby by.
As this mixture cooks, I add black pepper and dice up the second bunch of broccoli. Once that cooks for about an hour, I will add 4-6 slices of cheddar sliced cheese and make sure that is blended in properly. I let that mixture cook for another 60 minutes then cool and put into plastic container for later consumption.
I do not add cream or half n half to give it another texture because it adds in too many calories and the way I have made it is perfectly fine on taste for me.
My soup is enough for 3 meals and has about 100 calories per bowl.
Finally, I will take out a baguette from the freezer, thaw it out, and eat with the soup. The baguette was purchased from SAMS and cut into quarters, wrapped and put in the freezer for later consumption.
With the bread, my meal is 320 calories.
Today is a Federal Holiday
Some say this change was for the positive while other say it was for the negative... however, change is change and it is change that moves us forward...
MLK Jr laid the foundation for BLM to grow and flourish and it is BLM that laid the foundation for WOKEness to filter through our society as well... both of these movements had negative influence on the American society...
However, this should not cloud or influence the impact that MLK Jr had on our society... MLK Jr's message was one of unity not one of disunity... we are all one people and as one people we should come together despite our differences.
Moving into equity is the wrong message to send because we were all born with different skills and abilities and if you don't have a particular skill or ability, passing a law that tries to make it so, will change change the reality.
- Some people have natural athletic skills
- Some people have natural musical skills
- Some people have natural mental skills
- Some people have natural leadership skills
- Some people are naturally beautiful or handsome
THESE NATURAL GIFTS CANNOT BE SHARED VIA EQUITY
Classified Docs in Biden's Home
An additional five pages of classified material has been found in US President Joe Biden's family home in Delaware, the White House has said.
Mr Biden's lawyer Richard Sauber said he discovered the additional documents on Thursday which were immediately handed to the Justice Department.
Mr Biden's lawyers have said the documents relate to his time as Barack Obama's vice-president. A special counsel is investigating Mr Biden's handling of the files.
The discovery of documents throughout the investigation has been called a political embarrassment for Mr Biden, as it comes during an ongoing investigation into former President Donald Trump's own alleged mishandling of classified files. READ MORE...
