JFK Assasination
Today marks the 60th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's assassination, as his motorcade passed through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas.
His presidency witnessed initiatives like raising the minimum wage, establishing the Peace Corps, and advancing civil rights—eventually catalyzing the Civil Rights Act under Lyndon B. Johnson. He also navigated the Cuban Missile Crisis, averting potential nuclear conflict. Beyond political milestones, Kennedy advocated for African decolonization and condemned apartheid, prompting a UN arms embargo on South Africa until 1998. Recent polls reveal a 90% retrospective approval rate of the 35th president.
Hostage Deal Reached
WAR
WARS KILL WOMEN
CHILDREN
BABIES
ELDERLY...
What is it good for?
- The Arab/Muslims believe wars will eliminate the Jews forever from the face of the earth...
- Russia believes wars will help them acquire land in Ukraine...
- China believes war will help them conquer the lesser country of Taiwan...
- Mexican Drug Cartels believe wars will help them sell more illegal drugs in the USA...
- Criminals in the USA believe wars with law enforcement will help them become wealthier...
- US Engineering firms believe wars will help them make money when they rebuild afterwards...
With all our education and enlightenment, we are still basically IGNORANT CHILDREN when it comes to thinking WARS will somehow make life on earth better.
It is true that each sovereign nation has the right to defend itself... but, why does it need to think it has to defend itself anyway? Because there are other sovereign nations who believe it is their right to conquer other sovereign nations, thereby ignoring the concept of sovereign.
For me, that is not PROGRESS.
Wars do not create progress. Wars create economic growth because of the money spent to rebuild... but, when we rebuild, it will only be destroyed by future wars.
HOW IS THAT PROGRESS?
Memorizing for the GRADE
For three years prior to y retirement in 2015, I taught business classes at a university here in TN. My students told me they remembered nothing from the previous class because all they did was memorize for the grade.
This incorrect thought process started back in the 1980s/1990s, I believe, when school officials wanted to increase test scores in high school. The teachers taught the students only what was going to be on the test in the hopes of improving scores.
Students got smart and realized that HIGH GRADES would get them into the best colleges and LOW GRADES would get them into the least desirable colleges.
SO THEY BEGAN MEMORIZING.
IT WORKED...
SO THEY MEMORIZED IN COLLEGE.
When one forces oneself to memorize, then before anything else can be memorized, the student must do a BRAIN DUMP...
I experienced this first hand when I was studying for my NETWORK + exam at CompTIA. I only missed one question... but, I remembered very little which was the whole point because I took the exam so I could teach another class at ITT Technical Institute.
I earned an MBA in 1981 and taught business classes from 2011 to 2014 and remembered so much that I hardly ever had to open the textbook to prepare for class. I HAD RETAINED THE DAMN INFORMATION...
I am also sure that you realize that because employers were hot to trot for college grads, they put them in jobs that high school graduates were formally doing. And if you got a Masters then you would be put into a job that formally was done by bachelor degreed employes.
The thinking was that if you were more education you had better people skills, better communications skills, better writing skills, better team work skills, better problem solving skills, and could see the forest instead of the trees.
EMPLOYERS SOON DISCOVERED THAT COLLEGE GRADUATES DID NOT POSSESS THOSE SKILLS...
I taught juniors and seniors. They had very minor problem solving skills, they had entry level high school communication skills, they had piss poor presentation skills and they wanted to be told exactly what to do instead of having the ability to figure it out themselves.
They never read the textbook. Never did their homework. I know because I gave them pop quizzes and they all failed. They did not know how to present a business paper nor did they know how to write a business letter.
I WOULD HAVE HIRED NONE OF MY STUDENTS WHEN THEY GRADUATED and I used to do lots of hiring and firing throughout my 45 year career.
Walking Backwards is Good for One's Health
During the 19th Century, the activity of "retro-walking" was little more than an eccentric hobby, but today research is revealing it can have real benefits for your health and brain.
On an apparent wager to win $20,000 (about £4,250 at the time), a 50-year-old cigar-shop owner called Patrick Harmon embarked on a curious challenge in the summer of 1915 – he planned to walk backwards from San Francisco to New York City.
With the aid of a friend and a small car mirror attached to his chest to help him see where he was going, Harmon made the 3,900 miles (6,300km) journey in 290 days, apparently walking every step backwards. Harmon claimed the journey made his ankles so strong that "it would take a sledge hammer blow to sprain them". READ MORE...
Get Yourself Ready
Some of us will stand in long lines the day after tomorrow as after Thanksgiving sells draws in hordes of people looking for bargains.
Between Thanksgiving and Christmas is pretty much a dead time for businesses as they wrap up FOURTH QUARTER ACTIVITIES, pay out end of the quarter dividends, and bonuses for some staff members.
New Year's Eve is just another reason to get drunk and smoke a few joints of marijuana as we welcome in 2024 in a mental maze of being HIGH.
And... ALL THE SHIT STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN...
Marketing Wizards look for new ways to convince the general public to waste their money buying something that they don't need to justify the bonus for 2023 for doing the same thing.
Many of us make more money than we really need, live in multiple houses that we don't really need, have a plethora of expensive vehicles that we don't need as we try to spend the money we have and in turn justify the need to earn MORE money.
None of us who are in this kind of financial situation give a rat's ass about all the families and individuals living at or below the poverty line because we believe in our HEARTS that if we can do it, so can they...
What a frigging stupid and imbecilic thing to think. Do you think they actually want to live at or below the poverty line? What do you not understand about some people being mentally challenged, making it physically impossible to achieve the same results that you have.
When you put a rat in a cage and electrify all six side of the cage, the rat will simply give up, lay down on the floor of the cage and DIE.
The rest of the Americans are treated like Pavlov's Dogs and no matter how many time they hit the lever, they will never get anything to eat, even though the lever worked before.
You're saying these people are like you?
Do you think everyone is like MICHAEL JORDAN? And can be like him if they just spend more time practicing...
People may be stupid as shit, but they are not that stupid.
Russia Against LGBT Movement
Russia's justice ministry has filed a motion with the country's Supreme Court to ban the activities of what it calls the "international LGBT public movement" as extremist.
It is unclear whether the ministry's statement refers to the LGBT community as a whole or specific organisations.
It said the movement had shown signs of "extremist activity", including inciting "social and religious strife".
The ban could leave any LGBT activist vulnerable to criminal prosecution. The extremist label has been used in the past by Russian authorities against rights organizations and opposition groups such as Alexei Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation. READ MORE...

Pro Palestine or Pro Israel
Sure, it is their right to say that because of our FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS in this country, but what this movement fails to grasp is that:
Number one - NO ONE CAN CONTROL THE JEWS ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN ATTACKED
Number two - is the Jews pleaded with HAMAS to let the Palestinians who wanted to leave the Gaza strip leave and HAMAS refused
Number three - name calling the President of the United States is just going to make him and the Democrats more resolute to support Israel
Number four - if this movement was really sympathetic to innocent civilians being murdered, then they should be sympathetic to Israel for all the women, children, and babies that Hamas killed.
Number five - since this movement ignores NUMBER FOUR, then most Americans outside of the protesters are going to IGNORE the movement
Because of these five points the Palestinian Movement is going to have about as much influence as a fart in a spacesuit.
Protesters say the other side is wrong
The other side says the protesters are wrong
If both sides are wrong, THEN NO ONE IS RIGHT
If you don't understand what I just wrote, then you have no concept that these issues can only be resolved by COMPROMISE....
And, if you don't realize that, then who is really stupid here???

Supersonic Nuclear Powered Plane
The vision of Barcelona-based designer, Oscar Viñals, The Hyper Sting would travel at a speed of 4,287 km/h (2,664 mph). That’s more than three times the speed of sound and almost twice the speed of Concorde. Put simply: it would cut the transatlantic flight five-fold.
It’s being hailed as the potential next generation of air travel – but it’s not the first foray into supersonic passenger air travel. Viñals is the designer behind other large-scale, fast-flight projects, including the Sky Whale and Big Bird. It would fly 170 passengers within its 328ft (100m) interior – that’s 100ft (30m) longer than the Concorde.
Plus its wingspan of 169ft (52m) dwarfs Concorde’s 85ft (26m). READ MORE...
