I have not posted a whole lot this decade. I have posted more on Facebook and Twitter, and I certainly did not sign up for other social media sites. I do a lot of substitute teaching now and I do other jobs. This was the decade when Fort Smith lost Whirlpool and sensible people out there can understand how big of a loss it was for the town and the surrounding communities. The only people who don't seem to are what I call the "elite", members of the Fort Smith Leadership group. Nothing had really replaced all of those jobs that were lost. Not with Sykes or with other companies. Glatfelter only hired 87 people, a company that started its operation back in 2017. Razorback football absolutely stunk during this decade. Razorback basketball is improving, recently beating the Hoosiers! Razorback baseball has been wonderful. I hope for a better decade where I continue to get old, which I am not too crazy about. "You only as old as you feel." Cable TV is on its way out. Who needs it. Wireless television through the Internet is the way to go. A satellite dish on your roof? Why? I look forward to a happy 2020.

Republicans are known to pick bad VP picks

Republicans are known to pick bad VP picks and then manage to win the election.
This was done when George H. W. Bush picked an unknown Indiana senator, Dan Quayle,
as his running mate. Lloyd Bentsen, Dukakis' running mate, managed to whip him in the
VP debate with those famous words,"Senator, you are no Jack Kennedy." But, look who
won the race, George H.W. Bush. This is a caveat for the Obama-Biden team. Most people
do not know who Sarah Palin and Republicans all over the country are kissing her ass, convincing
us floor people who are working hard for much less that she is an asset, a wise pick for John McCain. Other than this fight she had with Sen. Ted Stevens over the bridge to nowhere, she is not suited for the job. It proves to me that McCain wants to continue the failed Bush legacy.
Just put people with little to no experience in the executive branch just like George W. did

A long while...

Okay, it has been a long while since I posted anything on blogger. We are ending a decade and starting a new decade. Things seem to get worse and worse. We have a president who is now impeached, the most unhinged president I have ever seen in my lifetime. We are laughed at by many in the world. And I don't see anything coming from this. He may be end up being the first impeached president to be re-elected by the electoral college, since he was never popularly elected. No, not yet. Well, I hope this Christmas in 2019 will bring out the best for you this season. What do supporters reason with this? Well, the stock market's up. Low unemployment, but that counts only those who are presently unemployed. Many people have left the job market altogether either through retirement or just gave up looking for work. Gig jobs and temp work seem to be the way to go. Trump is pulling troops out. I read a marquee from a Tribune-owned TV station that he was pulling out 4,000 troops from Afghanistan. We know he pulled troops from Syria, hence, losing friendship with the Kurds. I don't know how often I am going to write in this blog. I just recently gained back my old Google account. I plan on this blog to be pretty much a miscellaneous blog on many things and I won't try to be as political. Psyche! I can't guarantee that. And as we speak, Tulsi Gabbard's candidacy for president is on its way out. She votes "present" on impeachment on both counts. And I find she is way too chummy with India's Modi and Syria's Assad. She is the peace candidate, but way too pacifist for me. Conservative supporters question her anti-Israel stance enough that they will not get on board. Democrats do not need to worry about her. Get her on these issues. She is way too peaceful. So much so, she gives authoritarians the green light! Again, Merry Christmas!
