Pandemic update-8/13/20-The election looms closer, Biden chooses a VP!

 

Yes I am compiling a Blog about the great pandemic of 2020 and how my country stupidly shut down the economy.  We will have opinions, political and cultural highlights, my personal experience, social media details, even TV reviews since I watch so much TV while in my home jail.  We shall, as always, end with a smile.


MISC. PANDEMIC NOTES OF THE WEEK
(an update for my descendants)

Below is a picture of the "pole people" who have lived down the road from me, yon descendants.

Someone has, for the 15 years I have lived here, taken the time to dress them based on the season or weather.  Note they are now wearing masks.

MAJOR POLITICAL EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(another update)
President Trump, yon descendants, issued executive orders this past week that, who knows, might affect your own retirement and medical costs.  He raised the federal contribution to unemployment to $400, down from the original $600 a week, but still a nice piece of change.  

He also imposed a payroll holiday for FICA and medicare payroll tax to stop being deducted from paychecks.  Trump said that if he is elected he will continue the stoppage of these deductions, both employee and employer contributions.  THIS will greatly affect you all, yon descendants, if the decision to stop this robbery of your paychecks is put into affect.

Now this has problems and frankly, yon descendants, probably will never happen.

The original social security and medicare taxes were imposed so that we will have money coming in when we retire to live on and for medical needs.  When we get older, yon descendants, we need to stop working and our health needs increase.  The method of paying for this was established to be deducted from our paychecks for SS at 6.2% and medicare at 1.45%.  Our employers are expected to match these amounts and our income at retirement is based on the average of our highest five years of working.

Then congress passed the best law they've ever passed, proving it IS possible.

The 401K/IRA law allowed individuals to save their own money toward retirement, all tax free until we retire and withdrawals are then taxed but we will probably be paying fewer taxes as our incomes will be less.

Many of us, to include myself yon descendants, after a lifetime of banking our own money, realized just how much that 7.65% times two should really come to and it's way more than we're paying in.

Perhaps it's time for us all to sit down and reconfigure why with over 15% of paychecks being put away during a lifetime of working, we get so little from it.

I get waaaaaay more from my 401K than I do my social security.  And I contributed waaaaaaay less out of my paycheck than I put into that 401K.

Remember, yon descendants, you read it here first.
-----------------------------------
President Trump was pulled away from the podium this past week yon descendants and it was a bit shocking.

Seems some nut was firing a gun near the White House and the Secret Service wanted to get the president to safety.

I am worried that when you read this, yon descendants, your history books, if you have one, will indicate that President Trump was assassinated.  Yes, yon descendants, they hate him that much as I see it.
------------------------------
Finally, yon descendants, let not your history books indicate that America ever had a Vice-President Kamala Harris.
See the source image

As of this writing former VP Biden has appointed a lying corrupt one much like himself, picture above.

Yon descendants, I cannot stand this woman.  Intriguingly, she appears to be unliked by many in this country, probably because she's yet to declare anything that she hasn't backed out of within a week.

She's a senator from California and if God does really bless America, her and brain dead Joe Biden will NEVER be elected.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
----------------------------------
MAJOR CULTURE EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(one more update)

Two culture events this week yon descendants that caught my fancy. Her name is Ellen DeGeneris and perhaps you might still know her in your day, yon descendants.

She became famed by her admission that the poor dear is a lesbian.  Then she got way more fame and fortune than her talent deserved.  This past week lots of Ellen's employees and other celebrities have come out to announce that Ellen is a mean and nasty person.

May she fell frm grace and get out of our lives.
---------------------------
Rachel Ray, a famous cook with a likable, perky personality, suffered the burning of her house.

Because of this awful pandemic, yon descendants, Ray and her husband have been hosting the daily Rachel Ray cooking show in their home.

Something bad happened.

Chalk it up to another victim of this awful pandemic started by the Chinese.

-------------------------------------
PERSONAL NOTES FROM ME RE THE PANDEMIC
(that my descendants may know how I handled it)

First, I hate any kind of facial hair upon my face. I don't know how males can stand it, constant pickles of hair peeking out every day, having to shave every day.....I would hate that.

But female humans, as they get older, often have those little hair things cropping up in nice smooth female faces and it's not how God meant it to be.

There are lots of ways for females to rid their faces of this unwanted hair but for me, the best is to apply wax upon where the hairs are growing, cover with a piece of fabric, then BOOM, rip it out.

The skin remains smooth for about six weeks whereby those electronic things keep hair away for a week or two.

With the pandemic thing going on, such as waxing my face is not possible.  Damn, I'm having a hard time getting the hair on my head cut.

I began to look like Abraham Lincoln and finally did the only thing that got the hair off my face and left it smooth.

RAZORS!

Yes, I purchased special pink razors with gentle blades designed for females and hey, it works okay.  Gotta shave more than once every six weeks but it's easy enough and I won't have to rip our facial hairs with my fingers should the Chinese decide to send us another virus.

OVER THE INTERNET
(social media explains so much)

Image may contain: 5 people, meme, text that says '45 OUT OF 50 US GOVERNORS DID NOT FORCE COVID-19 INFECTED PATIENTS INTO NURSING HOMES BUT 5 OF THEM DID Andrew Cuomo (NY) Tom Woll (PA) Phil Murphy (NJ) Gavin Newsom (CA) Gretchen Whitmer (MI) THAT IS NEARLY 40% OF ALL COVID- 19 DEATHS IN THE UNITED STATES THAT'S NOT AN ACCIDENT, THAT'S PREMEDITATED MURDER! reddit'

REVIEWS TV SHOWS
(since I watch so much TV, not for my descendants)
Big Brother' Sets 2-Hour 'All-Stars' Return for Season 22 – TV Insider


CBS-Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.  It varies.

It's really weird.  Big Brother is a competitive reality show that I'd give about a C in terms of interest and entertainment.

I am a fan of competitive reality shows in general, some more than others.  Big Brother is a bit boring and loses my interest easily.

This year, because of the pandemic of course, the contenders for Big Brother are all former contenders on the show, a not unusual show setup.  But they had to be quarantined, pass tests and there is no live audience.

This year they have something called a "safe" room.  There are `16 contenders, all former show contenders.

At least they are producing a show which was questionable because of the pandemic.

They still have Heads of Household, Veto contests, the sorts of things that I watch.

It's when the contenders start sitting around or laying in beds talking, which they call the "social game", that my eyes glaze.

I'd be terrible at this game.  Here's hoping my yon descendants go on Big Brother and show me how it' they ever go on the show.

EDITORIAL
(My opinion for my descendants)

Time to admit we are at war
-------------------------------

Cities are being ransacked and looted on a daily basis.  The municipal governments in charge of such things are doing nothing to stop it.  Even though they could call in the National Guard to obtain peace, those in charge do nothing.

Although they do demand we all wear masks outside and while we're in the shower.

They want to not open schools, keep all sports shut down, not allow gyms to open.

They want to destroy the economy.  

Who are "they"?

Evidently they are our enemies, many of whom live right here in America and are part of the opposition "army".

Because you don't need tanks to wage a war.  And if you use tanks, airplanes and guns to attack America, you'll likely lose.

But come up with an idea to unleash a deadly virus across the planet but initially intended for the United States, get all those politicos you've been bribing for some twenty years while the middle class carried the country on their law-abiding backs to be on your side, scare the hell out of this same middle class with thieves and rogues.....THAT'S the way you can win a war with America.

Well maybe.

Don't forget to get the media on your side.  Media types are full of themselves; they have no great loyalty to the truth.  Create soap operas of the pandemic, attack the duly elected president that all should hate....it's genius in a way.

Finally get the most corrupt of them all, a guy with slim-pickings for brains and who's been all over the planet soliciting bribes, paying off his family and kids AND many other politicos in his party.....and then have this corrupt guy choose his female running mate, a female who pretends to be African American, who adores lies, who's been corrupt as he who will be president until she who will be president can ascend.....Whew....it's as simple as that folks.

We are at war.

Oh yeah, wage a war on their culture, their statues, their history.  Be disrespectful to their icons such as the flag.  Make an underclass and coerce them to your side.

Wage a war that they don't even know they are fighting.

And when Joe Biden and Karmala Harris finally get it all straightened out.....they will have won.

Defeated America without a tank.

Pretty smart.  If they win I will be sad but I will definitely admire their genius.

That's all.
