RNC seems to have been a success

 As stated earlier, I am boycotting all television and sports.

Everything I have heard about the conventions has come from the internet.  For better or worse, that is the way it is this time.

I am pleased that the convention seemed to accentuate the positive.  Not everything is a bed of roses, but things are not so bad.  Not even now.  It is mostly confined to places where the Democrats are not really opposed like they should be.  A two-party system can check off the excesses of the other.  Everywhere you see Democrats running unopposed, you see suffering.  Why would anybody vote for that?  Maybe they aren't.  Maybe the only reason they stay in power is corruption.  That could end this time.  Let's hope so.

If a positive vision doesn't win, then what can you say?  Frankly, the only way Trump loses is if the Democrats steal it.  They have offered nothing constructive that I can see.

Sure the Democrats are scary, but I won't offer any further scary scenarios.  Anybody should be able to tell what to do this time.  It should be plain as the nose on your face.

Security issue

 Chrome says my blog is "dangerous".  I'm looking for the cause of this problem.  Be assured that there is no danger arising from any bad intentions on my part.  If there is a security issue that I can detect and correct, it will be done posthaste.

Time for GOP to Deliver Knockout Blow - by Robert Ringer

Time for GOP to Deliver Knockout Blow - by Robert Ringer: The DNC’s four-day snoozefest gave us a pretty good preview of what to expect over the next two-and-a-half months — lying, lying, and more lying.  No surprise there.  Neither was the fake patriotism the shameless Dems put on display. Having spent the past several years praising China, Black Lives Matter, Planned Parenthood, and “peaceful protesters” …



comment:



This piece was written just before the convention, and as of this writing, tonight is the third night.  What to make of it so far?



The polls say nothing to me.  Not even Rasmussen anymore.  The fact is, the lies are so thick that the truth is buried so deep that not enough people will even get close to it.



Let's hope the truth wins whatever that is.



But I wouldn't bet the ranch on it.

Construction Simulator game update

There's a kind of love-hate thing going on with this thing.

On the one hand, I love it that they have so many machines that you can play with.  On the other hand, the game simply does not explain things as well as it could.   Not only that, it also seems to act creepy as hell sometimes.  There was a section in which cars were slamming into my vehicles deliberately.  That is not my imagination, folks.  The cars were intentionally slamming my vehicles.

Then, during this same stretch, my vehicles inexplicably malfunctioned.  For example, stuff just disappeared.  After awhile, I found it UNDER my vehicle.  In order to get it out, I had to pull it out THROUGH the cargo bed of the vehicle.  Talking about bizarre.  There are other examples, trust me.

One has to wonder what brings on this type of action.  There's nothing I can prove, of course.  However, I was tempted to start making videos and posting them here as proof of the bizarro type behavior.

Evidently, the machine called off the dogs for awhile.  But just later today, something happened again that was strange.  Something that should work didn't.

You can explain some of these things away, but not all of them.  I am wondering what is driving this odd stuff.  I like the game, but this stuff sucks.  Yeah, and this stuff went into overdrive when I was about to write a nice review of it.  They could use one.  The game doesn't rate as highly as some other games.  I bought it in spite of this.  It is just too bad, that's all.

A Cuban businessman speaks at the RNC

 

Comment:

Watch this speech.  You have to be struck at the emotion in the man.

Here are a few facts:

Remember the boat lift of the Carter Administration?  You have to be one of the older folks to remember that one.  Tens of thousands fleeing communism in order to get to America and to freedom.  He is not claiming to be one of those people, by the way.  I include it to make a point about people who wish to flee communism.  It happened all through the Cold War Era.  

The Cold War is said to have ended more than a generation ago, so memories may be fading.  But not mine.

There was a fellow employee at a company I worked for, and he was Cuban.  He told me he left Cuba in order to get away from Castro.  Nothing like knowing someone personally who went through what you only see on television screens.  What I heard here sounds pretty real to me.

But in the media, all you hear today is how "dark" the messaging was at the opening night at the RNC.  Just remember from the history books that not everybody thought that Castro was a communist.  He fooled a lot of people into going along with him.

Don't be fooled.  Check things out.

Amygdala Hijack: When Emotion Takes Over

The "best of all possible worlds" has sent you a link from Healthline: 

This message was sent by me to this blog for posting.  

Comment:

This link was found in a Google search for the part of the brain that processes fear.  It seems that today's media has become one gigantic fear porn machine.  

Look out!  They have hijacked our amygdalas.  Someone call the POLICE.  Ooops!  Sorry.  No more police.  Too bad, so sad.

Look, it may sound a bit frivolous, but this is serious.  Stop watching all the fear porn.  If you are making up some of it, then please stop.  Enough of this garbage.

Neo-cons endorse Biden.

 

Let's see: Obama ran against Bush, and Bush was one of those rascally neo-cons who got us into endless wars. Oh, yeah. Those guys. Now they are running WITH them. How's that for a turnaround?

Looks like Democrats are only for wars that they start themselves. But when the war goes bad, like LBJ's war in Vietnam, it becomes the GOP's fault.

They must be desperate to team up with the neo-cons. They know they cannot win in a free and fair election. That's why they have to steal it.

That guy in this next video is making the speech that seems kinda familiar....
