“What the heck is going on”? 

This is my daily round up of all of the stories that are sent to me through FaceBook, Twitter and e-mails. These stories will be the ones that I find interesting or informative.

Warning: The sarcasm meter is off the charts!

The world is going crazy and while it is in the process of so doing, and before it reaches its final destination, of “CrazyLand,” I am going to continue to be informed.  Feel free to join me, but be warned, as Margo Channing memorably declared in “All About Eve” – “Fasten your seat belts. It is going to be a bumpy night” – or day!

Variations of verbiage for today:

The news continues in this crazy world, where it seems many have a death wish, and do not appreciate the many blessings offered.

Some positive news about jobs growth, slip in unemployment, had some pundits and ordinary folks giddy. Daniel Gross is advising us to “curb our enthusiasm.” There is this “conservative recovery” where apparently, jobs are being added in the private sector, while the government is shedding jobs. I guess the government cannot keep up with the exorbitant pensions and benefits? I had never heard of the “slack attack.” That must be some loose jobs rubber band. J

What have we here? An American organization the NAACP is turning in its country to the UN? Is that organization even relevant anymore? I like the strategy of bringing Hispanics into the complaint. The last name of the NAACP president is certainly interesting. The new reality is that the new class that will need an organization to protect its rights, will be the white male.

Can I change places with this Seattle welfare recipient, and live in a million dollar home? I don’t receive welfare, and I do not live in Seattle, so that could be an automatic disqualification. I like the fact that the couple have been receiving their benefits for almost ten years, but "records show that they accurately listed the address of their current home when applying for the state and federal benefits.” I see this as this couple doing the right thing by listing their correct address  which is a “2,500 square-foot home, which includes gardens and a boat dock, is valued at $1.2 million” Folks, if you have government agencies stupid enough to supply your needs, why not go for it?

Here is another tale of “high living,” this time involving Los Angeles port pilots. Pilots, if you can get it, continue to steer your way to those almost half a million annual salaries. And – if you need a new relative, I am available for adoption!

This story about a Tennessee burns while firefighters watch is conflicting. On the one hand, the homeowners should have paid the required fee. But, to become a spectator to the fire, by men trained to fight fires? I could not do it. I would have been fired for grabbing a hose and trying to fight the fire. I know that the firefighters were “following orders, and just doing their jobs,” or in this case doing their jobs, by not doing their jobs. I see a lesson in this, for the US as a whole. We could come to a stage where no one will be protected by the “authorities.”This US has gone crazy and maybe in the not too distant future, the entire country will be burning down. No, I am not advocating that anyone begins burning down the country. For those unaccustomed to figures of speech, this is one.

If this new organization inserted another letter (right after the letter "L"), into the name of CELAC,  it would be interesting and informative. The big question for me is, now that these nations are banding together, does it mean that the US aid recipients among them, will declare their independence from US taxpayer money? I say “go for it,” gentlemen! Show “big, bad America,” that you don’t need its stinking money – until the next disaster. But, you already know that you can badmouth the US all you want, because your faithful piggybank will always be there. If these countries want to protect “migrants rights,” why don’t they create conditions where their citizens do not have to become “migrants” by fleeing these countries?

Here is one country that could be on the way to self-sufficiency? I doubt it. VP Biden has declared "we're not claiming victory in Iraq"? If not victory, what are we claiming? What we are claiming is that we will continue to pour billions into that country, even after we leave, and Islamists take over?

This is interesting. Muslims are being asked "which house is America to you"?  I did not know about these different houses. To sum up:

This “refuge,” a nation of all nations called America, is indeed the harbinger of the not too far away world of the future. A future world where liberty rules supreme and fascisms of all forms, including Islamofascism, will be remembered as horrific impediments to humanity’s ever-forward-march toward the goal of making this presently darksome village earth a reflection of heaven.

It is going to be very interesting when the traditional America is destroyed and no one anywhere has any place to run.

This is ironic. I did not know that this Indian outsourcer has to outsource jobs within India. When folks make this big issue about differences, in the end, we are united by our love of money, and our desire to save a buck, at the expense of others.

Is this a case of “in-sourcing” instead of outsourcing? There was an international scheme of importing strippers? I like the name of the FBI operation “Operation Dancing Brides.” Now that yet another qualification to becoming a bride, has been added to the mix, those potential brides who are “rhythmically challenged,” may have a difficult time snagging a groom? I recommend Arthur Murray Studios, instead of a pole.

Score another for the unions? Greedy union to destroy black restaurant owner's business?  Will the NAACP take time out from reporting the US to the UN to look into this? I tried holding my breath, but I was beginning to turn blue, which is how I feel about this “assault” on this business owner, no matter her color.

No, say it is not so! Obamacare is not all it is cracked up to be? A former Planned Parenthoo director blows the whistle on Obamacare?  Apparently, “after the passage of ObamaCare the federal government and private insurance carriers summarily dropped pregnancy and maternity coverage from its plans.” Maybe when this is all implemented, the “care” will entirely be dropped from Obamacare.

What would be a day without another TSA encounter of the interesting kind? I am with TSA with this one. This teenager could have been broadcasting her true intentions, by wearing her gun design on her purse, instead of her sleeve! And – she does fit the profile of the new terrorist. She is young. She is Caucasian.  Thank you, TSA for saving us/US from this gun design purse toting pregnant teen!

Finally, it is good to be able to end with good news! Austin, Texas is the job capitol of the world! Well, maybe not the world, but could be of the US. $17.30 an hour for a job? I smell a relocation coming on! I will worry about the qualifications later. At least I have a B.A.

This story has a warm, furry feeling! Dog lost 8 years ago in Virginia is found in Yuba County , CA! This is one time when I can appreciate a chip in the skin.

Miracle saves two year old! Actually, Caleb appears to have been the recipient of two miracles – he did not die, and he appears to have resumed his normal life. Caleb’s mom stated that she was “crying out to God.”  He answered. Yes!

That’s all folks! J
