- POLL RESULTS: Are you surprised by the number of inaccurate poll results over the past few years? Don’t be. Think of the polling process. A polling company is paid to ask a number of individuals their opinions on a variety of subjects. By now most people do not answer “spam calls” or spam E mails. They don’t want to be bothered. But a small number of naive people are emotional enough to offer their opinions. These are the people whose opinions are reported in the polling results. Our point: a special kind of person provides opinions and that seems to invalidate the overall polling results. Now you know.
- TIM SCOTT WITHDRAWS: Any idiot knows that a campaign depends on the constant flow of donations to survive. Tim Scott (R-Florida) had several strikes against him from the start. He’s from the same state as DeSantis–so that’s a complication. He has no national prominence. He has no policy platform on any issue that would gain him votes. So he took the low road. He sucked up to Trump on a national stage to advertise his availability and to get noticed by the Trump camp. He would bring black voters from a predominantly GOP-dominated state with many electoral votes if HE IS PICKED AS A TRUMP VP RUNNING MATE. And that’s his strategy.
- MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PITCH CLOCK: Buoyed by the success of the pitch clock changes in the 2023 baseball season, Major League Baseball has decided to lower the time limit between pitches from 20 seconds to 18. While that doesn’t sound like a big change consider this math. Based on the number of pitches in a baseball game this 2 second reduction will allow for nearly 9 more minutes of advertising at ridiculous rates/minute. Multiply that 9 minutes by the number of games per season and you will see a huge network and League income increase. Once again, it’s all about money and YOUR TOLERANCE OF FEW MORE COMMERCIAL INTERRUPTIONS.
- TRUMP;ANOTHER SELF-INFLICTED WOUND: After alienating women, pro-choice voters, veterans, LGBTQ+ equality advocates, students, climate control enthusiasts, and gun law change proponents, Mr. Trump has decided to diss Obamacare despite overwhelmingly popular support for the healthcare plan that benefits millions of low-income Americans….looks like he’s lost another huge voter block. Keep talking Donald; we’re sure you can find more potential voters to convert to the Democrats.
- ANOTHER NUTTY STORY: Papa John’s Pizza in Athens, Georgia hired a legally blind man to work in its store. (No, this is not a joke.) He required the use of a service dog. When the Papa Johns store manager fired him from working as soon as he showed up he did the American thing–he sued under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Now imagine a blind employee followed around by a dog in a restaurant trying to take orders and serve food. Apart from being ludicrous think of the local Board of Health and its regulations. Imagine the movements of the individual among customers. Consider the difficulty of even making change for customers as they pay. After all this, the company settled for $175,000 and agreed to provide relevant training for its employees. Notice: THEY DID NOT RE-HIRE THE BLIND MAN. Is it possible that this whole episode was a planned effort to extract a settlement? You be the judge…
