Daily Miscellany
Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.
Enjoy. Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".

Elon Musk Buys Twitter
The Twitter board of directors is reportedly ready to accept Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s $43 billion offer to buy all outstanding shares to bring the platform firmly under his control. Twitter was reportedly more receptive to a deal after Musk managed to secure $46.5 billion in financing. MRC President Brent Bozell welcomed the news on Twitter: “Today marks a new milestone in the fight for free speech. For the leftists, just remember you can always make your own platform if you don't like it. #TeamElon.”
-----------------------------------------------------
I, for one, am very happy that this Elon Musk purchaser of Twitter has negotiated a deal that brings me joy.
In addition, I am to understand that Donald Trump also is starting a cloud of his own called Truth Social. I heard this medium is, at this time, very difficult to get into.
Social media is a new element to our culture. All of a sudden everyone in the world can talk to each other. All of a sudden political, criminal and other news is instantaneous. But many people think social media is a curse to our culture. There are some changes that are needed, let us not deny.
One of the first things that occurred with the advent of social media is censorship. It was okay to state one's opinion loudly before Facebook came along. Without social media, only a few people in our surround were heard for their hatred of this politician or political party, or disgust with some people for their sex preferences, or damn, even criticism of their clothes. Social medial allows such things to be revealed to the whole world.
This result then allows those that don't wish for bad things to be said about their favorite politico. So government quasi-agencies took over control of much of social media and all of a sudden our freedom of speech is gone.
Americans were not going to take this removal of our freedoms so easily. It took us a while to realize just what, exactly, was going on.
But we have wealthy people in America. And, heh, we have social media to get out widely-distributed messages.
And now begins the change.
We are restoring out freedom of speech and kicking out those who would shut us up permanently.
They thought they would get away with it. Perhaps in Russia they would. Americans have had entirely too much freedom to give it all away.

Kamala Harris has been tested positive for COVID . It is asserted she had no symptoms.
She certainly has had bad luck as a Vice-President who can't do anything right.

Orin Hatch died
Orrin Grant Hatch was an American attorney and politician who served as a United States senator from Utah from 1977 to 2019. Hatch's 42-year Senate tenure made him the longest-serving Republican U.S. senator in history. Hatch was also a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Wikipedia
---------------------------------
Some of the things Hatch was known for was: 1)his defense and subsequent appointment by the senate of Justice Clarence Thomas. 2)Hatch was instrumental in shepherding the 2017 tax reform act into law 3)His worst action was defending defending a Justice Department settlement with the Bank of Credit and Commerce International on money-laundering charges.
More than anything, Orrin Hatch served as a Senator for 42 years. He will be remembered always for that more than anything.

Some Republican Nastiness
It is obvious that while President Donald Trump is greatly disliked by the left leaners here in America, us peons have discovered that quite a few Republican politicos dislike Trump.
-----------------------------------
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was outed as a blatant liar when audio of him saying that then-President Donald Trump was responsible for the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and should be pushed out of politics emerged publicly last week. The contents of the recording were first reported by The New York Times in a piece adapted from the upcoming tell-all book, “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden and the Battle for America’s Future.”

In response to the Times’ report, McCarthy tweeted: “The New York Times’ reporting on me is totally false and wrong.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Kevin McCarthy is not to be trusted and certainly should not be give the title of Speaker of the House should the Republicans take it over.
Instead of defending our then duly elected President, McCarthy was defending the traitorous Liz Cheney and berating Trump.
I will never trust this man. Never.

Madeline Albright funeral
Madeline Albright was buried last week.
There were issues with Albright but she will always be noted for being America's first female Secretary of State. May she rest in peace.

THE FLY ON THE WALL
Yes I am a fly and yes I also Blog. I tend to wander around among the politicians and hear their conversation. Because I am a fly beneficial to humanity, I share that which I hear. Bear in mind my spelling. I am, after all, only a fly.

THE FLY ON THE WALL
Yes I am a fly and yes I also Blog. I tend to wander around among the politicians and hear their conversation. Because I am a fly beneficial to humanity, I share that which I hear. Bear in mind my spelling. I am, after all, only a fly.
Working on Elon
This fly admits to having attended this meeting on how to stop the Elon Musk/Twitter deal all by myself. Usually the smarty-pants spider finds out about these somewhat secret meetings held in the big white building. Unfortunately those meetings are more for human interest than flies. For they never serve anything with crumbs at these meetings, trying to keep secrets.
So this fly just knew that while there might not be any crumbs at this special meeting (sometimes various attendees bring their own treats), it was of interest, even to this fly.
Seems that this Musk guy purchased some big social media company known as Twitter for lots of money, this fly knows not much about money. Now this fly knows birds that twitter and that's when I began to watch the human news for info on this deal.
"We can't do anything to make him sick," one human shouted, after this fly spent an entire hour listening to the many suggestions on how to get rid of this Musk guy. And with this only one attendee brought a doughnut which shed no crumbs.
"We're not doing anything that will get us in trouble. We just encourage him to eat things that are bad for him. I hear he hates peanuts," another attendee responded.
The human shouting then went full volume.
"Give his kids drugs," was one shout.
"Get fake pictures of his wife with another woman," was another shout.
"Bribe a bank employee to empty his bank account," was yet another.
These kind of absurd shouts continued for another half an hour. Even this fly figured out that the attendees were frustrated and were realizing that soon Elon Musk would be in full control over Twitter and the birds will sing.
Something about freedom of speech......
