2/26/2022: Russia Starts a War; Kyle Rittenhouse. Giggles and Smiles.

 

Daily Miscellany

Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.

Enjoy.  Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".

Russia Attacks Ukraine

On the night of 2/24/22 the wonderful Vladimir Putin attacked the country of Ukraine.

The following day President Biden gave a speech of what would be America's intent.

During Biden's speech he delineated all the things that Putin did to start the war and listed the sanctions to maximize the long term effects on Russia.  He assured us that these sanctions would not just be carried about by the United States, but that the majority of the global population would join in.

Russia's banks were cut off from the American banking system.  The names of the Russian elites that would gain from this Russian attack would also have their funds in American banks held and not be returned to the owners.

Biden went on to list a group of sanctions that would be inflicted on Russia.

It would turn out that the sanctions as imposed are not likely to do much damage to Russia.  Biden asserted that Putin really wants to create the USSR again.

It's a difficult, rather scary situation, this whole war.  What right does a country have to invade another country for no reason whatsoever?

People are going to die.  Sadness and grief will prevail.

And don't forget folks, America has no leader.  Biden has never succeeded in any foreign affairs scenario in his past.

Yes, I am worried.

And please don't forget China.

Kyle Rittenhouse Announces Plan to Even Up on the Jerks Who Lied About Him

On 2/21/22-Monday, I watched Kyle Rittenhouse as a guest on Tucker Carlson Tonight.

He then announced his plan to form an organization that will seek recompense for those who called him names and wrongly notated the events that happened to him.

Interestingly, he specifically mentioned Whoopi Goldberg, who called him a murderer even after he had been tried by a jury of his peers and found innocent.  This woman seems to be getting herself in a bunch of trouble of late.

There was even a time when President Biden referred to Rittenhouse in the negative although later he tried to deny it.

You go, Kyle!

And in due course, consider a career in politics.  You have a leadership and this country needs more leaders.

Review-"Celebrity Big Brother"


CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER follows a group of celebrities living together in a house outfitted with over 80 HD cameras and over 100 microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day and having no contact with the outside world. Each week, one or more Celebrity Houseguests will be voted out of the house, with the last remaining Houseguest receiving the grand prize of $250,000. CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER is produced by Emmy Award-winning producer Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan for Fly on the Wall Entertainment, in association with Endemol Shine North America.




I do quite enjoy competitive reality shows for the most part.  "Big Brother", and in this case "Celebrity Big Brother", is definitely not one of my favorites.  This show focuses on the contenders' ability to get along with each other, at least in part.  I find the frequent boring discussions about who dislikes who, who should align with whom, who should be "back doored" and who should be evicted, to be sleep inducing.

The contenders must live together with no contact with the outside world or with their family.  It's an interesting concept.

However, Big Brother does have some interesting challenges both to determine who will win Head of Household and who will win the power of veto.  THIS part of the show I find interesting.

Currently, as of this writing, CELEBRITY Big Brother is in the running.  My favorite contender of these rather questionable "celebrities" recently got evicted.  This would be Carson Kressley, pictured above.

Kressley was evicted because he was so well liked that he was definitely a contender with a likely chance of winning.  In fact, to no one's surprise, the American audience voted Kressley the most likeable of all this season's Celebrity Big Brother contenders.

Make no mistake, Kressley prefers men to woman but darn the guy is funny, has style and class.

Below are the contenders for this current Celebrity Big Brother Season.

I don't know most of them but do know that Miesha won and she should have.  She played the game quite well.

Miesha Tate35UFC mixed martial artist129Winner
Todrick Hall36Singer, dancer, and YouTuber129Runner-up
Cynthia Bailey54Model and TV personality129Evicted

Chris Kirkpatrick50Singer117Evicted
Chris Kattan51Actor and comedian115Walked

The truth is, Big Brother, both Celebrity and Unknown, is one of the more boring of the competitive reality shows.

But I will watch when nothing else is on.
