DOZENS ARE DEAD AS PLAGUE OUTBREAK MENACES MADAGASCAR…..In case you didn’t know.….many of the world’s best cooking spices come from that country……at least 24 people have died and more than 130 have been infected.….this one is different than the previous ones…..because it’s affecting larger urban areas and ports….which will increase the risk of person-to-person transmission…..bubonic and pneumonic plague seems to be the cause.….ten cities are reporting cases…..including the capital Antananarivo.….and it’s spreading fast…..this plague is cause by the infection with the bacterium Yersinia pestis….and it spreads through the bite of infected fleas….and is carried also by rats…..swollen lymph nodes, fever, chills and coughing are sure signs..…that you have it..…the incubation is short…..and you can die within 12 to 24 hours…..so, if you might be thinking about going in that area…..not a good idea…..and just remember..…the Seychelles and the Maladies are close by…..if you might be thinking about going there…..remember…..this virus is airborne.
NORTH KOREAN WORKERS PREPARE SEAFOOD FOR U.S. STORES AND RESTAURANTS…..Ha…..I bet you didn’t know that did you…..Americans are buying salmon for their dinner from Walmart….or ALDI….and you’re subsidizing the North Korean government…..while they build nuclear weapons…..the government is sending tens of thousands of workers worldwide…..which brings in a revenue estimated from $200 mil to $500 million a year….and some of the products they make wind up in the U.S…..which is considered a federal crime…..and some of the workers are employed in Canada, Germany and elsewhere in the European Union….American companies are not allowed to import products made in the NK….yeah, right….because of a law which was signed by Trump….he probably signed it because he’s not getting anything out of it…..it’s a long and interesting article…..look it up.
AUNG SAN SUU KYI STRIPPED OF FREEDOM OF OXFORD OVER ROHINGYA CRISIS…..I really hate to say this but I agree with them…..I would wear a T-shirt with your name on it….while I performed on stage….in support of you while you were under house arrest….and believed what you were saying to your supporters standing in front of the gates surrounding your compound…..because you were speaking for change in a country that was controlled by the military….but now….with what’s going on in Myanmar….. I feel like a fool.
CAMILLA SLEPT WITH PRINCE CHARLES TO GET REVENGE…..Ugh…..there are some things I don’t want to imagine….when it comes to what happens in a bedroom…those two…naked?….ugh!
IT’S SUNDAY……WE MADE IT!…….And if you woke up in a joyful and party mood…..then blast Rick James….You and I……loud….and dance while you make breakfast…..and if that ain’t working….then pop in Three Dog Night and start singing…. “Jeremiah was a bullfrog….he was a good friend of mine”…..and if you’re off to church…..you need some Hezekiah Walker…..to get that gospel in ya early…..and if you’re mood is more peaceful today….try Adagio for Strings (quartet: arrangement from 2nd movement Opus 11) and if you’re not sure you want to wake-up yet…..then go over to your sound system…..find the cut by Mountain called…..Mississippi Queen….. or something by Jimi Hendrix……or Beethoven’s 5th….and air guitar or conduct the orchestra….until you pass the hell out…..have a great day!
MIKE PENCE TAKES A STAND (AND WALKS AWAY) AFTER NFL PLAYERS KNEEL…..He said…. “I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our flag or our national anthem”…..me either…..it’s nice to find out our second in command still doesn’t understand why they’re taking a knee….but it’s cool…..you don’t want to see that….then git!…..it was probably a PR stunt to try and sway the ignorant masses who still think the protest is political……he had to be in LA at 4pm…..the game ends around 4:30…..he didn’t come for the game….and it cost thousands of taxpayers money just so he could pull this stunt…..and his boss went on Twitter and said…..he told Pence if they take a knee to walk away…..oh, oh…..almost forgot…..you do know the Alt-Right and Nazis marched again in Charlottesville this weekend…..and Pence spent close to a half -a-mil to fly to a game and protest against athletes who take a knee against injustice….but he and “IT” didn’t say a damn word against the “march of the racists”…..and they had a police escort…..if Black Lives Matter had done the same….…..the police would’ve had on so much gear and guns…..you would’ve thought you were playing PS4’s Call of Duty.
ESPN SUSPENDS JEMELE HILL OVER NFL TWEETS…..Isn’t this amazing?…..come on you have to admit…..this is amazing…..now we have a clown running things who can say whatever “IT” wants on Twitter…..but when someone else voices an opinion…..and that someone happens to be a woman….and black one mind you…..she receives a two week suspension from her job?`….now could it be that ESPN was afraid of all the advertising revenue they were going to lose….or are they afraid to piss off the good ol boys?
THANK YOU FOR THIS KENNY…… “As a lifetime Dallas Cowboys’ fan. Huge supporter …bleeding silver and blue…I’m very upset and offended over comments of owner Jerry Jones. He stated that ” no Cowboys’ player will not stand for national anthem…or show disrespect for flag…let’s make that clear.” Very strong words and message from an owner who is an NFL HOF’er as an innovator…a pioneer and an architect of the world’s highest valued professional sports organization. I am disappointed that an owner of your prominence and influence and who has enjoyed many appreciable relationships both professionally and personally with the many African American players that have helped make the Dallas Cowboys both 5X’s SB Champions and a model franchise. Jerry Jones has chosen to stand on the other side of this most important issue and narrative of this anthem story. You and others who resent their stance know the players’ positions and protests have nothing to do with any disrespect for our flag or our country. Your directives show total disregard and insensitivity to the issues of police brutality against people of color…unharmed black men killed by rogue cops and set free and unaccountable by judicial systems….massive longtime inequality and acts of systemic oppression against people of color…..racism and simply that Black Lives do matter. Your players ….Black and White …are Americans…entitled to 1st Amendment rights…freedom of speech and expression. Signing them to football contracts doesn’t allow you to overrule or circumvent their rights. You and many like you chose to elect this President…his regime and their political agenda. They chose to inject themselves into it…ridicule and infect with racial and divisive fake news our national past time of Pro Football. Don’t blame the players…..know better who you chose to get into bed with.”…..and I’m not even a Dallas fan….but I agree with Kenny on this…..I would love to see what would happen if Dez, Dak and Elliot took a knee…..Jones might be a chicken-shit racists…who doesn’t give a damn as to why people are taking a knee…..but there’s no way in hell he would keep “dem niggras” out of the game……I will bet you 2 horses…..4 goats and an old pair of Nike’s…..that would not happen…..way too much money to lose!…..and now it seems like the NFL is starting to cave in to the owners….and wants the players to stand.
THANKS FOR THIS ONE KEVIN…… “Under what condition does a symbol of our people gain more importance than our people? By what stretch of the imagination, does the flag for a nation, founder in protest of mistreatment, suffer any loss by the people it represents protesting mistreatment? At what point does a worship of inanimate objects not oppose the Constitution itself, in denying the most basic premise, that all power and purpose of this nation derives from, and for, we, the people? I cannot, as a veteran sworn to protect the Constitution, place a flag or anthem above the status of our own citizens”……..US Navy Veteran….Dan A.
