Media shows its Melania Trump contempt

Melania Trump Is Facing Harsh Criticism After Breaking Hospital Rules To Remove Mask

First lady Melania Trump is getting a harsh critique today. She just attended a Christmas event where she read to kids at the Children’s National Hospital. However, the event didn’t go off without a bit of controversy.a woman wearing sunglasses posing for the camera: melania-trump-mask© Provided by littlethings.com melania-trump-mask By Sarah Bregel  

While Melania wore a mask upon entering the hospital, she removed it as soon as she sat down to read the story. The rules inside of the hospital are that everyone must wear a mask at all times. Even though the White House has often pushed back against the pandemic safety guidelines like social distancing and wearing of masks, given the environment, it would be even more important to try to reduce any possible spread of the virus.

Now compare this media coverage of President Obama:

Girl Cries in Obama’s Arms After He Wears Santa Hat to Surprise Kids in Hospital

Dude, Where’s your mask?

Dude, Where’s your mask?

Dude, Where’s your mask?

St. Nick always brings cheer this time of year. But when he’s portrayed by a former president, it’s even more special. Wearing a festive Santa hat, Barack Obama surprised kids at the Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. He came bearing presents. Obama even took selfies with patients and gave out some hugs. InsideEdition.com’s Leigh Scheps (http://twitter.com/LeighTVReporter) has more.

(I guess if your Saint Obama, you don’t spread germs to sick kids. Your actions don’t have consequences. Except for the good press you get. (Just my .02)

I’m Embarrassed…and Mad as Hell

First, I need to apologize to you my readers, for I have sinned. It seems that the 60000 or so articles, photo’s, images, etc. that I have sent to Pinterest were first posted here on my blog. I was as proud as a peacock because my views on Pinterest per month were 850,000. That’s a bunch. But not many followers. Why not? So I did some research into my posts on Pinterest and found that about 25% of them:

  1. The source didn’t exist anymore.
  2. The source, when clicked, led to spam.(Blocked by my anti-virus).
  3. The source, when clicked, led to a dangerous web site. Ditto on blocking.

What this meant was that I was polluting my blog, my Pinterest account, and anyone else who clicked on these bogus sites. That’s why I am so embarrassed. My intent is to provide an entertaining blog where one can find useful info on a variety of topics. I consider myself the Ed Sullivan of the Blog world. You’ll have to Google him, but he wasn’t skilled at much of anything other than being a great mc, but every Sunday evening he brought superior entertainment to the folks watching tv, some in B & W. He was a showman. Guess who brought The Beatles and Rolling Stones to live tv first? Ed Sullivan. Comedy kings, fabulous singers, actors all appeared on his. “Show of Shows”. So that was going to be me. Until I realized that no one followed me because one of four posts led to empty sites, or spam, or worse, malicious sites.

I began to then check every post I pinned to Pinterest. So far I have cut 20000 questionable pins from my account. Am I mad? Oh, you bet I am. So I am using a business account with Pinterest. Do you think I could get at least a modicum of heads-up that many of my posts were questionable. No. 60000 posts later I happen to stumble upon them. I put much time and sweat equity into those articles and posts only to now spend more time and energy inspecting each one for spam and dangerous websites. And I’m mad at these same slimy creatures who post dangerous stuff hoping to snag the unknowing into what they are about to encounter.

The bad news is I’m only half done, checking each image and article until I know they are safe or not. I have taken to mass deletions in some albums. It’s frustrating that there are so many scammers in cyberspace, and I walked into their cobweb. Even the most innocent looking photo or posts can’t be trusted. Fortunately, I have deleted thousands of them and am a fervent convert to checking each source of my posts even if recommended by Pinterest. That’s part of the anger. Even Pinterest doesn’t know what’s going on. But I do, and now so do you.

You have my word that no more questionable articles, photo’s etc. will be posted on my blog and Pinterest until I verify the source is safe.. I apologize again for being so naive. The ghost of Ed Sullivan is spinning in his grave.

Teacher who raped and later married student, dies from cancer at 58

Mary Kay Letourneau, the Seattle-area teacher who gained national notoriety when she pleaded guilty to raping her sixth-grade student Vili Fualaau, died on Tuesday of stage 4 cancer at the age of 58, her attorney confirmed.

Letourneau served seven years in prison for second-degree rape of a child and was released in 2004. She grabbed more tabloid headlines after she and her victim married less than a year after she got out of prison, when Fualaau was 21 years old.

The couple had two children together — one born while Letourneau was awaiting sentencing, and another while she was in prison. They divorced in August 2019, after 14 years of marriage.

Chicago: 104 BLM: 0

104, that’s how any people were shot in Chicago last weekend. Of those shot, 14 were killed, including 5 children. This is the same city that has a black mayor, and a black chief of police. What the city doesn’t have, but surely needs, is BLM.

Where are you guys? Marching somewhere safe, I suppose. Going to build another safe zone for yourselves. In some safe city, I suppose. Going to preach to us, how much you matter? While you hide away someplace safe, there’s some real discrimination happening. Not white against black. Try black against black. Discrimination and killing.

I challenge you to get your caravans together, from all over the country, and come to Chicago. I dare you to establish a safe zone in Chicago’s West Side. I dare you to disrupt the flow of drug trafficking that goes on there. Just be prepared for some serious discrimination. And it won’t be from us whites.

Ironic, Isn’t It ?

No, not the Alanis Morrisette song, it’s real life happenings in the U.S. A business owner got arrested and fined $7500 for daring to open her hairstyling business before the locals allowed her to. Ironic then, are the people who might loot her business and NOT be arrested. But if they were, they would be released within hours because of covid restrictions. Only in America.

Heartbroken in Chicago

The brutal killing of one black man has morphed into mass demonstrations all over America. That’s not such a bad idea at all. However, Dr. King is probably spinning in his grave at how his non-violent approach to racism has been corrupted into a sporting event of looting, burning and violence. Is this the justice for George we were expecting. No, justice was hijacked so stores could be emptied, business’ set on fire and grudges against police and society in general could be acted out.

If that’s not heartbreaking enough, here is the gut-kick. This past weekend, 27 people were killed and 92 shot all unrelated to the protests going on. This is black-on-black violence that white America doesn’t want to hear about, let alone protest against. I wonder why they chose to ignore this every weekend event when tv camera’s aren’t present. Where are the mass protests ?

Die Bitches. Just Die!

This is a message to all covid-19 coronavirus spores that are starting to melt under our late spring’s heat and humidity. For all of the millions of innocent people around the world who have suffered, died and experienced extreme misery due to you, I have just one thing to say as you scream out, “Help me, help me. I’M meltingggggg”. Just one thing to say to you:

Die Bitches, Just Die !

TV Commercial Rant

There are certain types of tv commercials that tend to drive me up a wall.  Commercials for prescription meds, commercials for weight loss products and, my favorite, commercials for insurance company’s.

Prescription meds are perfect for those who have scaly, reptilian skin or those who seek relief from the pain of arthritis.  But really.  The side effects are horrendous.  OK, dry mouth we can live with, sunlight sensitivity-ok wear sunscreen, but when side effects include risk of hearing voices, growing a third arm in the middle of one’s back or the “usual” risk, chance of stroke, maybe it’s time to just bear the malady.

Weight loss commercials are another pet peeve of mine.  Does Marie Osman keep gaining and losing the same 50 pounds that she says she has lost on her diet plan ?  Or does she simply remove her 50 pound hair piece and call it a weight loss ?  I just want to know that if I were to lose 50 pounds, would I gain it all back and more when switching back to regular food ?  Spill the beans, Marie !

By far my fav commercials are insurance ones.  My lord, how many “mascots” does one company need to hawk its product.  I’m referring to G….(who shall remain nameless) as an example of overkill of spokespersons, alive or animated.  First it was a friendly gecko, followed by a friendly female (Flo) who morphed into playing multi-characters at the same time.  Then came the guys who looked alike , or not. The gypsy fortune teller, the half-man, half-motorcycle, that’s right, Casper the friendly ghost, etc.  If nothing else, they are all just a bunch of friendlies trying their best to snatch your money.  Hey, how about cutting back on your commercials and passing that saving on to your customers !  Uh oh.  Almost forgot friendly Dennis Quaid telling us that his ad is really just a commercial for insurance, no kidding.  Lately a new mascot/buddy has appeared, an emu and a sorta over-eager sidekick guy.  And how about the trouble-making mayhem guy.  Lately, he’s playing an anti-social cat. Unbelievable.

I know I missed a few, but fear not-more will come, friendly folks and animated what-cha-ma-call-its all designed to tell you how they are all saving you money, cuz you know you are in good hands with them.

WordPress Doin’ Me Wrong!

Things are not going well in my blogosphere today.  I’ve not been able to log into WP until now and it seems I’ve only had 2 visitors to my blog all day (it’s 2:21 pm Chicago time).  Come on WP.  I’m apologizing now for all of the posts that have been sent to me that I haven’t gotten and responded to.  To all who have tried to visit my blog and failed, thank you for trying.  I’m just going to post this and call it a day.

But, it’s Friday, the weekend, so I’m wishing all of you a fantastic weekend filled with love, laughter and fun.  Remember to keep creating, whatever form that takes.  Bye !

 

Note to Dems, nothing is Free!

“Nothing is free. Everything has to be paid for. For every profit in one thing, payment in some other thing. For every life, a death. Even your music, of which we have heard so much, that had to be paid for. Your wife was the payment for your music. Hell is now satisfied.”
