Some humor in this frazzled world in which we live

Hope some of these are new to you. Have a great day     Retired Person’s Perspective

1. I’m not saying let’s go kill all the stupid people.  I’m just saying….. let’s remove all the warning labels and let the problem work itself out.

2. I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People move out of the way much faster now.

3. You can tell a lot about a woman’s mood just by her hands.  If they are holding a gun, she’s probably pissed.

4. You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone you’ve just met?  That’s common sense leaving your body.

5. I don’t like making plans for the day….. because then the word “premeditated” gets thrown around in the courtroom.

6. I didn’t make it to the gym today.  That makes 1,500 days in a row.

7. I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim.  I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

8. Dear paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers:  If you find one, what’s your plan?

9. Everyone has a right to be stupid.  Politicians just abuse the privilege.

And now the funniest of all:

10. Romney, who couldn’t win a turtle race with a thoroughbred stallion, suddenly is telling us what it takes to become the president. The GOP is really scrambling trying to stop Trump, but the American voter is mad. Go home Romney!

Do you doubt the power of our  “unbiased” media? Personally, I do not watch TV for my news — they all sicken me with their innuendos, clichés, and beauty over substance priorities; ever seen a — to be PC — less than photogenically enhanced person as an anchor? And, of course gender plays a very important role.

Prior to the stock market opening each morning, I browse the Internet to see if anything of significance happened overnight , and if so, I scan selected news sites — both “unbiased” and biased — to see what the talking heads are saying. Personally I’d rather read it than have to listen to them. How do you know if the site is biased or not, you ask? Actually, it is very easy. May I show you?

Go to the link below,  not for it’s content as I am sure you already know the results of Super Tuesday, but let’s determine the slant of the site. It will take you to the Republican results. Look at the photos of the GOP candidates, and don’t forget the photos that slide in and out along the right side. Now go back to the top and go to the Democratic results.  And once again, look at the photos. Is there any doubt in your mind who this site supports?

In case you live under a rock, or typical of many Americans who only see and hear what they want to, I’ll give you a hint. Look at the photo at left and tell me who the site supports?

Within the past twenty-four hours two American men, who happen to have been black, hosted awards ceremonies. The contrast between the two can best be described as humble and arrogance.  Once again, Col Andy states it well.

As one may guess, I am not a fan of the Hollywood elites. I do not show much favor for those who live according to their press clippings. How well I remember Cruise’s comment about comparing what he does to those who actually do run to the sound of gunfire. A joke it was not; he actually believes it.

As with Col Andy, neither I nor my bride chose to watch the Oscar’s, our time is best spent enjoying something with substance than watching several hours of self-aggrandizement at its best.

I may get into trouble with this post, but then perhaps it will generate some lively discussion. We shall see. I just read a story sent to me by a friend entitled Megyn Kelly tells Colbert how she’ll start next debate – Trump’s not going to like it! I’ve included the link below in case you have not seen it.

I’ll try not get political and discuss my views or my leanings, but since I am a retired Marine, it’s easy to guess on which side of the I sit. I once was a FOX news fan, and I liked Kelly, but over the last year or so I found FOX losing it’s so-called “fair and balanced” status. TV News anchors tend to read too many of their own press clippings e.g., O’Reilly, Rather, and Cronkite to name a few.

Then came the first FOX GOP debate. It garnered the highest viewer rating for any debate, but for me it was the “straw.” I stopped watching FOX and changed to CNN for I now believe they have become the most “fair and balanced” of the talking heads, but then that is a personal opinion. I am sure you have yours.

I found the question posed by Kelly to Trump both unfair and an attempt to embarrass and belittle him. I seriously doubt neither Mr. Carson nor Ms. Fiorna would have known the answer. Perhaps some of the politicians on stage might have been able to name some, but not all of them. In fact, I doubt if the current white house resident knows all their names.

So, why would she ask Mr. Trump that particular question? I really don’t know the answer, but I suspect it may be that Kelly does not like Trump. Perhaps it’s be due to some of the things he’s said that disturbs her as a woman. For example, his reference to that O’Donnell woman as a “fat pig.” I won’t comment on that except to say that woman has called conservatives all sorts of foul, unrepeatable names in her unremarkable career, but then I guess that’s okay since she is a woman and a member of the Hollywood elite.

FOX hyped the last GOP debate as “The Rematch,” undoubtedly an attempt to surpass their record ratings of the first debate. However, wisely — in my opinion — Trump opted out, leaving  Murdoch’s FOX with no “Rematch.” To save face FOX called Trump a “coward,” which of course all his opponents immediately followed in the name calling. Bit did it negatively affect his ratings? Nope. In fact, they went up.

I take no sides in this debacle. Everyone wants specific answers. They demand to know exactly what each candidate is going to do when/if he/she wins. What’s your plan to fix this and fix that. Spell it out so we can choose who has the best plan for our malady’s.

Get serious. Three of the folks standing on the stage are not politicians; they have never sat in on a subcommittee hearing, they have never been briefed on key issues by department secretaries, nor have they ever lied to get elected. They are a mixture of self-made Americans, some held high positions, some made money, some created jobs, some saved lives, but they all love America and want it to be great again.

Who does this Kelly person think she is? She doesn’t speak for me. She doesn’t ask the kind of questions I want answered. This is not a presidential debate, it’s to elect someone to participate in a presidential debate. I want to know about the real person, what the person truly believes in. What are his/her true beliefs, the principles by which they live. I don’t expect them to know the proper names of all the terrorists on the top ten watch list.

If I were able to ask Kelly one question, it would be, “Who the hell do you think you are? If I were Trump, I would opt out of this debate as well. He doesn’t need to be there, but Ms. Kelly, who has now become one of the Hollywood elites, certainly needs him there.
