My predictions for the Trump-Biden debate Sep 29!

At 8PM CST, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami Florida will host the first of three Presidential debates. This time around, it will be hosted by Chris Wallace from Fox news. It is likely to be one of the most watched 90 minute debates in history.

Pitted against one another will be a man who has been pounding the rally trail for months versus another man who has spent the majority of that time in his bunker at his home!

One man has a rather enviable track record of accomplishments over the past three and a half years while the other has little to show for 47 years in public office.

One man shut down the the country in late January, knowing it was going to hurt the economywhile the other was encouraging international travel to continue.

One man is a veritable attack dog while the other seems very confused at times.

One man has elevated the lifesytles of millions of blacks, Hispanic, Asians and Latinos while the other has no track record of doing very much even as VP to Obama for over eight years.

One man is a proven leader while the other hides behind distortions, parsed speech and outright lies! One man, Donald Trump deserves another four years while the other, Joe Biden, deserves a good care center.....

The bottom line. This won't be a debate at all....it will be a free for all.

Update: I was not counting on the moderator taking sides...

Perhaps the only solution to climate change!

Climate change.... Is it really real? Yes, of course it is. Geologically earth's climate has always been changing. At one point, about 715 million years ago, the entire globe was thought to be encased in snow and ice. Yes, that's just how strange things can get. Yet, that is not what most climate change enthusiasts are concerned about in 2020. They want to know what can be done now to get the earth back to a more 'normal condition' whatever that is. I'll take a stab and say they want to reduce the average global temperature... 'Averaged as a whole, the global land and ocean surface temperature for March 2020 was 1.16°C (2.09°F) above the 20th century average of 12.7°C (54.9°F) and the second highest in the 141-year record.'

Today, many younger citizens here in the US, are clamoring for our government to drastically change our carbon footprint, in the belief that if we can get to 'carbon zero' thing would improve the global temps over their lifetimes. That is, assuming that all the other countries would do likewise. Good luck with that! The truth is that some other major countries like India and China are bring coal-fired generators online as fast as they can.

Fact: 'Nearly two million metric tons of fuelwood and charcoal are consumed each day, in developing countries. That's about one kilogram, daily, for every man woman and child. That's also pumping a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which aids in the cause of greenhouse conditions.'

So, the thing is, if we are going to significantly lower the global average temperatures by even a degree Celsius, we will have to work very closely together....and... that simply is not going to happen. If you happen to listen in on a session of the United Nations, that will clue anyone in on just how big the problem of getting even a few countries to agree on much of anything anything... So, what would be a viable alternative?

In my opinion, there is only one possible solution that could effect rapid change... The mass killing of billions of souls. Ideally, the world's current population of 7.8 billion souls would have to be cut in half! Am I being serious? Yes, I am. And the task of reducing said population needs to happen quickly, if anyone alive or even their kids will ever see any improvements. Could this even be done with a willing population? No. Aside from the ethical considerations, there would remain the shear logistics of disposing of billions of dead and rotting bodies. Think about having to kill one hundred thousand or so every day for a year! How could you do this? Perhaps a lottery of some kind where you have a 50% chance of survival? Even if everyone agreed to stretch this process out by 25 years, that would still mean 4000 or so could receive their 'checkout ticket' each day. I somehow do not think that would work out very well. I know I would fight to live!

Yet, consider the possibility that China (along with members of the Deep State) have already come out with a rather clever plan – Today's reality is that they have managed to kill just under one million thus far this year with one single 'unintentionally released' virus – aka Covid-19. And, maybe they have other even more potent viruses on the way, just waiting in the wings... Yes, a spirited enough campaign with a witches brew of deadly viruses could get the job done over just one decade, place China firmly in charge of the world with the Socialist States of America reduced to satellite status.

Banned from Face Book for three days!

Just recently I posted the words 'shoot them'! This was in response to another post depicting elements of antifa and BLM gangs who were out trashing yet another city will beating in the heads of store owners who were trying to protect their businesses. I sincerely meant what I said. The police have an obligation to protect people under assault with and including lethal force! This opinion, apparently, is not followed by the censorship bureau at Face Book. One can almost get the idea that this social site approves of violence as a means to an end. One could even accept the concept that Mark Zuckerberg is all in when it comes to bigotry, racial divisonism and socialistic group think. Seriously Mark?

So, I was suspended for a month over that comment. But, was I mad? Not really. Especially when I consider just how far off the rails the Left-leaning social sites like Facebook, Google and Twitter have become. They seem to have developed the concept that you can say anything, only so long as it fits their concept of correctness. Well, I'm sorry. I'm not always 'correct', what I am is truthful. 

In the coming weeks, I fully expect the noose around the collective necks of American citizens to become ever more tight as the Democrats make one last push to collapse our Republic. Whether we submit meekly or fight tyranny will be the true question of this Nations morality and heart.

Chicken pot pies. Good or bad?

 

Ever since I can remember, I've eat the venerable chicken pot pies from either Swanson or Marie Calendar. These easy to fix meals are a snap to prepare, hot and very filling. they're often my fist choice when shopping the frozen dinner isle at about $1.30. But, are they all that good for you to eat on a regular basis?

Here's both of these meals from a nutritional standpoint;

From most standpoints, both pies are very similar, and so both share some troubling statistics. The worst, in my opinion, is the salt content followed quickly by the saturated fats. This is a combo that can be tolerated by the young, but which can do a real number on older folks who might need to watch both intakes...

From a taste standpoint, I'd give a nod to the Swanson product over the offering from Marie Calendar. From a strictly health standpoint I'd treat them the same way I treat most McDonald's food - eat just every so often!

DanO's Grand Slam breakfast! Sort of...

 My idea of a great breakfast is actually a takeoff on Denny's famous Grand Slam meal. Instead of the pancakes, I subbed two slices of french toast along with two sausage links and a glass of milk!

In case you've never made French Toast, the process is very simple. Just add 2 eggs to a bowl, add a bit of milk, whisk it all together, soak a couple pieces of bread in that mix and cook in a frying pan over low medium heat. That's it. Add a pat of butter and some syrup and you've got a done deal!

This quick prep meal is a real winner in my book, and at about 600 calories, it's certainly filling!

Bean with Bacon soup!

If there was ever one soup I was very sure I wouldn't like, that'd be Bean with bacon. That belief persisted right up to my fifties when, one day, my dad made up a batch. I was astonished at how good and filling this soup was!

Biden's grand plan for climate change!

Biden is currently absolutely positive that a mere ten trillion investment, made over the next ten years, will have a dramatic effect on climate change. He doesn't mention the small facts that both India and China are both raging ahead with coal burning generation plants that will easily offset any US efforts by at least tenfold!

Embracing AOC's Green New Deal will also guarantee that America goes back to being energy dependent on countries that really hate us. What we can look forward to; offshore drilling - to be stopped, coal mining - to be cut way back, Fracking - no f'ing way, Jose! In their place, it'll be dams, windmills and large solar farms! (You know like the Solyndra plan that went bankrupt under Obama and Biden....

Seriously, there is no problem that the Democrats can't screw up even more, then by throwing boatloads of money at. Here's the Big Five from the previous administration....

Now, as to the fires we're all witnessing on the West Coast. The truth is that some of the problems are due to climate change. But, that change is a natural part of the world's climate not being the same decade after decade. The other part of the forest fire problems has been  directly linked to a massive failure, by the Democrats, to not manage those areas properly over the past 50 years! (Also, the fact that people are intentionally setting fires isn't helping very much). Just as in the exploitation of the Covid disease, the Democrats could not resist blowing that crisis up via Party sponsored arsonists...

So, that seems to be Joe's game plan for November; 1) keep the people afraid of a virus and 2) plumping everyone up to waste trillions on a long term problem that they, in fact, neglected for decades.

Amid all the distractions that's been 2020, I hope people will start asking the Democrats for some realistic Party planks..... Sadly, that will not happen - Their sole 'plank' is to hate Trump.
