Saturday Morning Confusion: Drumpf?

 Our question this week is rather straightforward kids!

Who's the worst U.S. president in history?

Allan: There was this one guy who started a trade war that killed 300,000 American jobs in his first two years. 

Then he signed a tax bill that flatlined the stock market and forced the Fed to start lowering interest rates to try to prevent a recession. 

Then he said a global pandemic was a liberal hoax to kill the economy he spent three years destroying and he set records for the six worst point drops in the history of the Dow, most new unemployment claims in history, and the largest deficit in history. 

He was investigated and found to have welcomed and encouraged election interference by a foreign government and to have obstructed justice to cover his crimes. 

He got impeached once for abusing his office to try to coerce a foreign leader into helping him smear a political rival. 

Then he got impeached again for inciting an insurrection to try to stay in power after easily and predictably losing his re-election bid. 

Then he got indicted for almost 100 felonies after leaving office.

I forget his name. 

Draft dodger. 

Admitted sex offender. 

Painted himself orange and wore a dead rodent on his head. 

Wore elevator shoes. 

Misspelled three-letter words on a smartphone. 

Kept filing for bankruptcy. 

Called himself a winner. 

Dump? 

Rump? 

Plump? 

Chump? 

Drumpf?

Something like that.

Edit: I’ve never done this before, but this post was like catnip for morons and the most brainwashed fascists I’ve seen all flocked to the comment section to bleat their alt-right propaganda. So I’m disabling comments on this. 

I’ve also deleted some of the worst garbage that was posted. 

Wow. These people really need therapy.

Saturday Morning Confusion!

 "Many have passed away, and those who are still here are called "the elderly.""

We were born in the 40s-50s-60s.

We grew up in the 50's-60's-70's

We studied in the 60s-70s-80s.

We were together in the 70s-80s-90s.

We got married or not and discovered the world in the 70s-80s-90s.

Adventuring into the 80s - 90s

We're settling in to the 2000s.

We became wiser in 2010s.

And we’re going strong into 2020 and beyond.

Turns out we went through EIGHT different decades...

TWO different centuries...

TWO different millennials...

We've gone from phone with operator for long distance calls, pay booths, video calls worldwide.

We’ve gone from slides to YouTube, vinyls to online music, handwritten letters to emails and Whats App.

Live games on the radio, black and white TV, color TV, then HD 3D TV.

We went to the video store and now watching Netflix.

We've known the first computers, punch cards, disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones.

We wore shorts all through our childhood, then trousers, ep pants or mini-skirts, Oxfords, Clarks, Palestinian scarves, jumpsuits, and blue jeans.

We avoided childhood paralysis, meningitis, poliomyelitis, tuberculosis, swine flu and now COVID-19.

We've done roller skating, roller skating, tricycle, bicycle, moped, gasoline or diesel and now we drive hybrids or electric.

We played with the little ones

horses and checkers, ostrich and marbles, 1000 threshold and monopoly, now there's candy crush on our smartphones

And we read... much

And our schoolmates religion was not a subject...

We used to drink tap water and lemonade in glass bottles, and the vegetables on our plate were always fresh, today we get meals delivered

Yes, we have been through a lot but what a beautiful life we have had!

They might describe us as “ex-annuals”; people who were born in this 50s world, who had an analog childhood and digital adulthood.

We should add the Biological Revolution that we have witnessed. In 1960, biology was very descriptive. We have witnessed the event of Molecular Biology: the molecules of Life have been discovered: DNA, RNA etc. When you see everything that has come from it: gene therapy, gene fingerprints, and others the progress is considerable.

We kind of have "seen it all"!

Our generation has literally lived and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life.

This is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE".

A big congratulations to all the members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE.. "

I was there but over by the trees! (dark left trees)

Saturday Morning Confusion!

 Sometimes it can be funny to randomly shout: "Hey Asshole!" in a crowd... just to see who turns around!

Saturday Morning Confusion: Drumpf!

 It's stuff like this that makes me wonder just HOW STUPID the average American can be!

Every person who worked for Donald Trump during his term as President,,, has publicly stated that this man should NEVER be allowed to hold public office again!

Never!

No Way!

And yet... about a third of Americans still think the guy is GREAT!

(Go figure!)

Saturday Morning Confusion!

Allan: 

 On my way home yesterday, I witnessed a vehicle hit a motorcycle from behind and send the driver 25 feet into the air landing him in a ditch. 

I immediately called 911, pulled over and climbed down to stay with him until they arrived. 

He wasn’t moving and I assumed the worst. 

 A medical professional happened to be driving by and pulled over to help as we waited. 

I stayed and held Joe’s hand and asked him questions to keep him awake and with us. He told me about his wife, joked about his motorcycle and asked me to take photos so he had a cool story to tell. 

 Once EMS arrived, I backed away and a woman watching said 'I’m shocked you did all that.’ 

She saw my confused face and replied 'Honey, this is the south. I’m just saying. I’m shocked you did all that for him’ and my heart sank. I was speechless. I didn’t care what he looked like. I didn’t care how long I had to sit there. I didn’t care about social distancing. He needed help. 

 We don’t have to look the same to be kind to one another. Not a single person is born hating others because of race, political views or background. 

People learn to hate. 

My favourite saying by Nelson Mandela, 'If they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love.' 

Love everyone, including yourself. Humanity is MY race and love knows no boundaries."

Saturday Morning Confusion: D.S.T.

 

Saturday Morning Confusion: My G-G-G-G-GENERATION!

Allan: 

We have this image of our grandparents or older relatives as being strict and righteous... but having lived through the dynamic eras of the 60s and 70s they often hold hidden depths of coolness beneath their more conventional facades. 

Remember: These decades witnessed the rise of countercultural movements and the free-spirited ideals of hippies, after all!

The experiences they gained during these transformative times could include adventures, rebellions, and a taste for unconventional living that they might not readily share. 

It’s a humbling reminder that we don’t necessarily know every aspect of the lives of the people around us and their complex personalities.

Saturday Morning Confusion! Queer is, as queer does!

 Back when I was a teenager in the 60's there was only 4-5% of the population that identified as queer......!

TODAY, because the "gay agenda" is not only making homosexuality acceptable... but actually PREFERABLE..., we find that about 30% of GEN Z here in 2024 identify as (at least) bi-sexual! (LGBTQRST etc.)

There's something really wrong here folks!!!!!!!!  

 Me... when I first get up in the morning!

Allan:

With the revelation that DNA proves humans are not related to other mammals on earth, why is the “Theory of Evolution” still presented in educational books as a plausible reality?

Dear Christian: Turn off your computer... you're too fucking stupid to be on the Internet!!!!!

Saturday Morning Confusion!

 

Saturday Morning Confusion: Biden's problem!!!!!!

 

One morning a husband returned after several hours of fishing and decided to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, his wife decided to take the boat out and go for a ride. She motored out a short distance, anchored, and began to read her book.

A short time later, along comes a game warden in his boat. He pulled up alongside the woman and said, “Good morning Ma’am. What are you doing?”

“Reading a book,” she replied, (thinking, “Isn’t that obvious?”)

“You’re in a restricted fishing area,” he informed her.

“I’m sorry officer, but I’m not fishing, I’m reading.”

“Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and write you up.”

“If you do that, I’ll have to charge you with sexual assault,” said the woman.

“But I haven’t even touched you,” said the game warden.

“That’s true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.”

“Have a nice day ma’am,” he said and he left.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It’s likely she can also think.

Saturday Morning Confusion! Here's Waldo!

Dear Friends: I've had a few complaints today that not only was Waldo not in that picture yesterday... but that HE DOESN'T EVEN EXIST!!!

Well... I can assure everyone that Waldo not only DOES exist... I also have proof that I've known Waldo for a long time!

Back in the 60's I spent my teen years hanging out  at Canada's "hippie haven!" (Yorkville/Toronto) I found this photograph of me and my old friend Waldo cruising "downtown" on a warm summer weekend! (That's me highlighted in the red circle... and Waldo is in the yellow circle!)

Yorkville, July 1967

Saturday Morning Confusion!

My parents came here from there!!!! They loved it here and didn't want to change a thing... just get their piece of the pie!

Saturday Morning Confusion!

 Over the past several months I have been getting multiple notices from various sites telling me that I won $1,000- for this and that... 

So I guess I had better look after cashing in that money before they change their minds... (It must now total tens of thousands of dollars!)

Will let you know how it turns out!!!!

Look at how the surface wind is shaping the clouds around Mt. Fuji!

Saturday Morning Confusion: Proof That The World Is Nuts!

 Way back in 2007, I put this article on my blog, and yesterday I got a message saying that the post had been put behind a warning for readers.....

In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the animals must be female. (Having sexual relations with a male animal is punishable by death.)

In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman’s genitals but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror.

Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This also applies to undertakers. (The sex organs of the deceased must be covered at all times.)

The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.

There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the first time. (Time for a career change!) Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to marry.

In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife can legally kill her adulterous husband but may only do so with her bare hands. The husband’s illicit lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired.

Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England, but only in tropical fish stores.

In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her husband; the first time this happens, her mother must be in the room to witness the act.

In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter simultaneously.

In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines except that Prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending machine only “in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on thepremises.”

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Who volunteers for this stuff?)

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (Is that why Flipper was always smiling?)

The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated. (How the hell do you get an ant drunk?)

Butterflies taste with their feet.

An ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain. (Mine is bigger than my stomach.)

Starfish don’t have brains.

And, the best for last: Turtles can breathe through their butts. (And I thought I had bad breath in the morning!)
