Things that annoy me (1 Viewer)

Expectations are so low now that even when a software glitch brings the world to its knees, it gets only warmed over media coverage. Anyone who missed the movie "Idiocracy" should give it another try now that we are living it.
 
The USA team of all-star NBA players beat South Sudan today by one point. Imagine if we had played all of Sudan? LOL. I have no interest in watching the Olympics but hope all our woke teams get rolled. I find it hard to pull for many US players these days.
 
The Secret Service Director. Even in the age of "Idiocracy" she pushed the bounds of incompetence. I watched the entire hearing today and kept expecting a phone to ring to tell her that she was fired.

Her resignation was announced this morning. I was surprised. I did not expect her to go while the current occupant of the Oval Office is in place.

That was a brutal hearing. In a rare show of unity, every member of Congress was outraged by her incompetence and arrogance. Whoever advised her on how to approach that hearing did her no favors. I'm sure she got a call yesterday giving her an opportunity to resign before they fired her. Just by the grace of God did she avoid going down in infamy. At least one wrong has been righted.

Agree, as a non-political bystander, I thought her comments were pathetic, she had no clue.
 
Evidently the Secret Service told Trump he should not hold anymore outdoor rallies, just indoor ones from a safety standpoint.

As Tom says, you can't make this stuff up.

Funny how COVID is no longer a thing. Big crowds indoors. No masks. No problem. A couple years ago the same folks would have claimed it was reckless. Biden has COVID and he is carrying his mask in his hands.
 
The closing of the Westwood Village and Bruin theatres in LA. Those are great movie theatres. Saw many a movie there during college. Sounds like there is an ongoing effort in Hollywood to save them.
 
What really annoys me today................Palestinian Militants (I am sorry, they are NOT peaceful protestors) burning the American Flag...............in Washington DC. I believe in free speech, I do not believe in this type of expression NOR is it what our Founding Fathers intended. I truly believe it should be a criminal act. Not everyone may feel that way, but I just find this to be unacceptable. On top of that, this is IN the USA and it looked like a scene from Tehran. Am I the only one that finds this to be absolutely nuts and why as Americans is it tolerated?

We have no strong leaders right now. This is the most pitiful group I'v ever seen. We need to throw them out and start over.

Here's 9 year old Johnny Clem. Ran away to join the Army and when they wouldn't allow him he tagged along behind the regiment until they made him a drummer boy. More of a man than most in Washington D.C.

They seem to get a free pass to do this everywhere in the West.

It is disgraceful and I'm not sure where the police are when individuals are violating the law in plain sight and even filming themselves doing it. With that said, I think these are only a handful of numbskulls. The media makes it a much bigger story than it should be. Ironically, they use each other. The perpetrators get exposure for their cause and the media gets a story to run endlessly. The endless cycle of idiocracy.

What may be worse is the fact that a material number of our leaders did not meet with our biggest ally in the World today when he was in Washington. That is disgraceful too. Literally speaking right now, Israel is one of our only true friends.

This didn't happen overnight, neither here nor in the rest of the West. Here, it's just the latest stage of a process that has been underway, at various rates, since the 1890s.

Yeah try that in their countries. Too much guilt in western countries. Look at the history of non-western countries, see how innocent they are.

And if those same people do gain the upper hand, all those useful idiots being used today, may finally realise they were duped, just before they get to experience flight, but without wings, from the roof of a multi-story building.
