I wondered how long it would take.

Not the actual deeds , but the threats.

Massacres are occurring, seemingly weekly.  Mostly in colleges, but occasionally in high schools, rarely in elementary/middle schools.

But the copycat threats are appearing with regularity in middle schools now.  Or on what is called "social media" involving middle schools.And that is mysterious to me.  Why would ten, eleven, twelve and thirteen year old kids have access to "social media"?  Especially when practically every "social media" outlet has rules that prohibit these ages from posting, reading or in any way participating.

Oh, now I get it.  Parents.  Parents who are too gutless to restrict their children.

Now it begins to make sense.

Since parents cannot deny themselves, they just can't bring themselves to deny their children access.

I was watching football games over the weekend and was not really keeping count, but I would hazard a guess that among the 'fans' at the games, fully 90% had their cell phones, etc., on and were watching them much more than the games.

Stupidity.

They could have saved themselves about forty/fifty dollars per seat, stayed home  in an easy chair and done the same  thing they were doing in the stadium, without all those darned people disturbing them.

But they just cannot deny themselves.

I do not own a cell phone.  I do not own a tablet.  I do have wifi, only because it came with my ISP's package - but have never used it.  I do not own all the other doo-dads that modern day parents seem to think are absolute musts for themselves and their children.  I make do with a big old desk computer and a land line telephone.  Never have a problem with dropped calls, except those that people with cell phones make to my house.  Almost every time we get a cell phone call, the caller has to recall due to a dropped line or some other defugalty derived from the cell phone.

I have never been guilty of distracted driving due to a cell phone, etc.  And I will protest long and loud if I ever hear of some snot-nosed kid trying to take away my land line, just because they don't think it is worthwhile.  As far as I am concerned, the break-up of the old AT&T was the single worst decision the FCC has ever made.

HJJHCAGD!

Polls, polls and more polls.


I've been entertained today by the MSM.

People asking why Clinton is being shucked by so many potential voters.

And the MSM failing to supply the correct answers (if they give any answer at all.)

And of course, why is there  going to be a debate among the Democrat candidates.
You will note that I use the term Democrat, instead of the MSM characterization that assumes the name of the party is the National Democratic Party - when it is NOT.   And it has become almost standard for the conservative media to use the same term.

I have yet to see many Democrats who are democratic.  Instead, most recently, they are purely Socialist.  You do not have to have a name like Bernie Sanders to be a Socialist.  For Hillary Clinton has moved so far beyond Sanders to the left.  So much so that she makes Bernie look like a left of center Republican.  So much so that, were I voting in the Democrat primary, I would vote for Bernie.

Oh, the debate.  Sorry, I digressed.

Let's see, there's Clinton, Sanders, O'Malley, and a couple more losers that I can't remember right now.  But that makes no difference, Clinton will be in prison, during her first term, if she is elected, Sanders doesn't have the chance of a snowball in you know where, and O'Malley?  Who in the heck is he?  I never heard of the rascal until the campaign started, so there is really nothing to debate.  BUT, the debate is being carried LIVE AND IN COLOR by CNN!!!!!

Clinton lost ten points in the last ten days.  By the end of November, she will be below zero if the trend continues.  But her campaign is already out there with an explanation of why she is really going to be ahead after losing New Hampshire, Iowa and Nevada.  Because, they say, she has 84% of the black voter in South Carolina, and will retain all the black vote that Obama reaped in 2008 and 2012.  They fail to mention that women do not like her, white men do not like her, and by golly, you cannot win the presidency with the minority votes only.

No one is interested in what either Clinton or Sanders has to say, except those who want it all given to them at the expense of the rest of us.  Both want us to pay 100% of education related cost from pre-kindergarten through PhD.  Neither of them has come up with a plan to pay for all this, but we must have it , don't you know?  After all, what's another trillion or two that we borrow from China?  And you millionaires down to less than half-millionaires, get ready, your tax rate will be at 90% again, just like under Bill Clinton.

How much money do you have in your pocket right now?
