A Great Day At The Office

My second job, around 1983, was at a Personal Computer store, International Computer Systems. At that time, I managed the largest independent computer store in the country, located in Coral Gables.

These were the beginning days of PC’s, before the XT. We had a 2 floppy IBM-PC and an Apple II. About the best software you could get was Visicalc. We were barely past DOS 1.0.

Now for the good day.

It was hectic every day, as there were 3 times as many people who were tire kickers as there were buyers. We were a block away from a Computerland Corporate store, which we out-sold mostly on hustle and knowledge.

If you go back to my first job, and hanky panky at the office, I talked about being picked up by the cologne girl at the escalator. Her name was Leila. She was scoping me out as we all went out together at the end of the day, and she picked me out as her target. This is the girl who they made the joke about being able to suck the chrome off of a trailer hitch.

Needless to say, it worked. I took her out on a date. If you read the story at the link, I’d been pulling a lot of ass at the time, given the place that I worked. It only took one date to get her to the bedroom. I found out that she had a special talent with her mouth. By far, it was the best hummer I’ve ever gotten. Some have been really good, but she took it a step beyond into being the best. While we dated, it was anytime and anywhere. She even said that she wanted me to sleep well, so that meant nightly.

Of course, she had the obligatory ponytail holder on her wrist.

Well, time took its toll, and we moved on, but she lived a block away from my computer store.

Here’s the good part.

After not seeing her for months, one day, she came into the store. I was on the phone in my office in the back, as it was the weekly call to order inventory. It was a total crapshoot as to what we were going to sell, but I’d be on the phone for about 30 minutes getting what I thought I’d need.

I was happy to see her and waved her in. She came in knowing she was going to blow me as she was grabbing my crotch while I was trying to remember what size memory chips I needed. I signaled for her to go close and lock the door, and before I knew it, my pants were down.

As she was performing her magic, I finally had to tell Sam at the warehouse that I’d call him back.

It’s 2 o’clock in the afternoon of what I thought would be another day of drudgery, making deals on PC’s. Instead, her head is in my lap, bobbing up and down. Her technique was so good that it was over pretty fast with no mess. She loved to swallow. I zipped my pants up, called Sam and told him what had happened, and she just left as she knew I was busy.

It’s not often that you get a hummer at work, and it’s usually not spontaneous. It made for a great day. The whole thing ws her idea as I hadn’t talked to her in a while.

I told everyone when I got home, and my friends all wished they were me, because I told them how good she was at it when we were dating.

Those were the days when HR didn’t ruin everything fun at work.

The Leftists were outraged at the Hockey team winning

Perhaps it’s destiny – The last time the USA Men’s Olympic Hockey Team won the gold in 1980 they had to first defeat the communist Soviet Union.  It was not the final game of the Olympics, it was the second to final game, but it was the only game that was treated as an epic battle of cultural and political ideals and not just a sports competition.  In 2026, the Team USA finally won again, this time against the increasingly communistic country of Canada. 

Maybe this time around the global audience was not as aware of the political nature of the event, but the woke left was certainly spellbound, poised to exploit the outcome as symbolic of an ideological victory over American conservative principles.  In other words, they expected the Canadians to win, and they planned to gloat about the downfall of the US image at the feet of a far-left country.  Obviously, it didn’t work out that way.

To pour salt on their wounded progressive egos, the men’s team is largely pro-MAGA and says they are excited to attend Trump’s State of the Union Address. Leftist activists have been pressuring American athletes throughout the Olympics to denounce the Trump Administration. Particularly, they have called on American representatives to speak against ICE and the mass deportation of illegal immigrants.

The left are pissants, assholes for sure, but just run-of-the-mill, fall-in-line pissant asshole.

Let’s get to the meat of the matter.

Next, there is Susan Rice, who said: Former Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice has promised that Democrats will punish those who “bent the knee” to President Trump.

Yannow, someone sticks out like a sore thumb, and this week it is Keith Olbermann.

Olbermann, like many others, took offense to President Trump’s celebratory phone call with the men’s team in which he spoke about ‘having’ to also invite the gold medal-winning women’s team. The President joked that “I do believe I probably would be impeached” if he didn’t extend an invitation to the women’s team. The women’s team was invited to join the men’s team for a celebration, but declined.

Obama’s ‘Gift’ Sticks Taxpayers With $200M+ Bill As Chicago Hides True Costs Of Presidential Library

Obama Library, in the South side of Chicago, where crime is the worst.

Borg Cube

When former President Barack Obama announced plans for his presidential center on Chicago’s South Side, he described it as a privately funded investment in the city that would give back to the community that shaped his political career.

And while construction of the brutalist eyesore itself remains privately financed through the Obama Foundation, taxpayers are footing the bill for massive infrastructure costs. 

A review by Fox News found that state and city agencies have not produced a unified accounting of total public expenditures tied to the project’s surrounding infrastructure. While individual agencies have disclosed partial figures, no single office has reconciled those totals or clarified how they overlap.

At the time the project was approved in 2018, public infrastructure costs were projected at roughly $350 million, to be split between the State of Illinois and the City of Chicago. Those estimates covered roadway modifications, utility relocations and related improvements necessary to accommodate the 19.3-acre campus in Jackson Park that nobody asked for. 

In July, the Illinois Department of Transportation said that approximately $229 million in state-managed infrastructure spending had been committed to the project. That total includes about $19 million for preliminary engineering, $24 million for construction engineering and $186 million for construction activities. A department spokesperson described the earlier $174 million figure as a preliminary 2017 estimate.

Cornell Drive, a four-lane roadway along the eastern edge of Jackson Park, was removed and traffic rerouted farther west. Utilities, including water mains and sewer lines, were relocated, and new drainage systems were installed. City and state officials have said the changes were necessary to manage anticipated traffic and visitor demand.

The center occupies 19 acres of public parkland transferred under a 99-year agreement for $10, a decision that prompted legal challenges arguing that the arrangement was not in the public interest. Courts ultimately dismissed those lawsuits.

Though often described as a presidential library, the Chicago complex will not function as a traditional library operated by the National Archives and Records Administration. Former President Obama’s official records will be maintained by the federal government at a facility in Maryland, while the Chicago site will be operated privately by the Obama Foundation.

The foundation also pledged to establish a $470 million endowment intended to protect taxpayers in the event the project encounters financial difficulty. According to previous reporting by Fox News, that fund has received $1 million in deposits.

Who didn’t see this coming?

As usual, he fucked the people and didn’t tell the truth about the project. Does anyone remember if you like your plan/doctor, you can keep your plan/doctor? No one is going to go visit this other than some family, friends, and blacks who still believe he didn’t lie and use them. After that, probably a mosque. I wonder if it’s facing Mecca.

What advice would you give to your teenage self?

What advice would you give to your teenage self?

Stand up for yourself and don’t try to make everybody happy, you can’t.

Not everyone is your friend, no matter what they say or do.

Don’t be afraid to hurt somebody else’s feelings if you have to sacrifice yourself.

Realize that you are introverted and that not doing a bunch of stupid stuff because the crowd wants to is not a good enough reason to do it.

Take your time and enjoy what you are doing. It will go by too quickly. You don’t have to do everything right away. Life will let you get the experience if you give it time.

I have a couple of readers (you know who you are) who give way better answers than I do because they’ve had different experiences than I have. I wonder what they will say?

What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?

What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?

Although my ancestors came to this country from multiple European countries, it was too long ago. I have no knowledge of anything beyond which country they came from.

My family fought on both sides of the Civil War. I don’t take sides; I learn from history.

There are some things I can’t change. I was born White and a man. I’m good with it and don’t want to be anything else.

I loved my parents and some of my family. I put up with the rest and avoid some with vigor.

I guess I don’t take it too seriously, as my heritage is a mish-mash of so many things, I could fit into most categories, except the obvious. I’m also too old now to change anything, so I am who I am. I’m interested in the timeline at this point, and who died early or late that is closely related to me. I’m headed to the finish line at some point in the future.

What about you?

The Graveyard of Destructive Ideas – The Begining of The End Of Woke

How do destructive ideas and bouts of collective madness so quickly become policy, law, and the status quo? After all, most have little public support—and are not Western nations supposedly rationally governed?

There is usually a multi-step process on the road to these self-destructive fits of society-wide insanity.

The suicidal impulse so often begins with left-leaning researchers in elite universities (i.e., the tenured in search of a novel, grant-getting theory). They begin insisting that a new existential threat requires immediate government intervention, novel legislation, ample funding, and public awareness of the impending danger.

So out of nowhere, the public is warned that the scorching planet will be inundated by rising seas in a mere decade. Or that millions of transgender youth are our next civil rights frontier, given that they suffer in silence without political advocacy, new laws, programs, and the chance for “life-saving,” powerful hormonal treatments and radical sex-reassignment surgeries. Indeed, the travel time from an outlandish idea by the faculty lounge to liberal status quo is a mere few years.

Next, the media, hand-in-glove with academia, springs into action to persuade the skeptical public to “follow the science” and “trust the experts.” It castigates any doubters as cranks or “conspiracy theorists” who spread “disinformation” and “misinformation”; or as racists, nativists, sexists, homophobes, and transphobes who must be silenced.

Hollywood and sports celebrities often piggyback on the frenzy, hijacking awards ceremonies and pre-game national anthems to out-virtue-signal each other, warning the public that they must adapt and change—or else!

Almost overnight—to take just one example—going to an isolated beach without a mask during the COVID pandemic, showing skepticism about the efficacy or safety of experimental mRNA COVID vaccines, or daring to believe that the Wuhan gain-of-function virology lab (in part aided and abetted by grants and support from Dr. Fauci’s National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases and the National Institutes of Health) was the source of a manufactured COVID pathogen became heresies. And the perpetrators, as always, had to be punished either legally or through social ostracism and cancel culture.

Third, liberal foundations begin funding more “research” to “prove” that partisan “experts” should not be ignored. They also fund activist groups that hit the street to gin up popular support, which often results in the required tumult and occasional violence. They embrace the theory that any disruption will so bother the public that it will support almost anything if it just makes the bedlam go away.

New victims and their oppressors are created ex nihilo.

Yesterday’s radical new policy becomes today’s wishy-washy cop-out, as tomorrow’s once-unthinkable radical idea becomes commonplace and institutionalized. So it was that a few years ago, the public was told of a new and huge victimized group in the shadows, suffering from “gender dysphoria”—an age-old malady known to the ancients and, according to modern researchers before the millennium, affecting about one in 10,000–30,000 people.

No matter—almost overnight, transgenderism joined the gay and lesbian community to become the new LGB—T oppressed. Drag shows, once confined to enclaves in San Francisco or New York, were suddenly mainstreamed into military bases, children’s libraries, and cruise ships. Thirty percent of students on some campuses polled said that they might consider “transitioning.”

Abruptly, professors and students began reading emails appearing from their finger-in-the-wind administrators with strange new runes under their titles and names, identifying their “preferred pronouns”—sometimes the standard “she/her/hers” or “he/him/his,” and sometimes the unfathomable, such as “Ze/hir/hirs” or the plural “they/them.”

Groupthink and mob mentality prevail. Soon, not listing pronouns on correspondence indicts someone as a counterrevolutionary, a transphobe, or, worst of all, a Trump sympathizer.

Fourth, fence-sitting liberal and socialist officials and candidates equate the well-funded activism, the performance-art street demonstrations, and the media fixations on victims and victimizers with growing grassroots support for yet another cause.

This is well illustrated by how initially liberal officials—stunned that 70 percent of the public wanted secure borders, no more illegal immigration, and deportation of the 10 million Biden-era illegal aliens—kept quiet about Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

However, after massive and violent demonstrations in major blue cities—with the deaths of two protestors who confronted ICE officers and tried to impede their efforts to detain illegal aliens—biased media blared out that officers were manhandling “mere bystanders.” ICE is now routinely likened by Democratic politicians to the Nazi Gestapo, well beyond the usual boilerplate smears as “pigs” and “fascists.”

The public buys into the fable that ICE agents were not arresting some 4,000 criminal illegal aliens in Minnesota while elected officials were siccing protestors on them, but were instead “murdering” innocent unarmed bystanders, who were harmlessly protesting ICE’s “goon” tactics.

Fifth, once the delusion—whether it is of a doomed sizzling planet, a utopian open border, the systemic oppression of a huge transgendered victimized class, or the habitual and flagrant shooting of innocent unarmed black males by predatory racist police—is institutionalized, then the government and institutions, public and private, ignore public opinion. And they begin passing laws and protocols once deemed unthinkable.

The once-meritocratic SAT, originally aimed at nullifying the old-boy admissions network at the Ivy League, becomes “racist” and is dropped. “Defund the Police” becomes the elite white activist mantra.

Soon, the politicians’ talking points become gospel, as formerly crackpot “critical legal theory” and “critical race theory” are used to “prove” that police hunt down minorities rather than the criminals among them.

Productive, safe nuclear clean-energy plants are shut down. Billions of dollars are invested—and lost—by government mandates aimed at phasing out internal combustion engines and subsidizing unpopular electric vehicles. Government-built high-speed rail boondoggles waste billions before laying a foot of track.

Schools and public offices must suddenly install “gender neutral” bathrooms. What follows is the surreal sight of biological men competing in women’s sports and undressing with teen girls in locker rooms—acts that just a few years prior would have landed someone in jail.

However, there sometimes occurs a sixth stage, which we might call the “Emperor Has No Clothes” wake-up call, that occasionally stops the lemmings in their mad dash over the cliff.

Gradually, the public wonders why it pays twice as much for electricity as it did a mere few years earlier. Supposedly doomed polar bears appear to be thriving in the Arctic. John Kerry is routinely spotted on a carbon-spewing private jet to get to climate change conferences abroad. California’s “permanent” drought strangely ignores near-record wet years and snowfall. Too little rain proves global warming; too much is proof of “climate chaos.”

Barack Obama, the Cassandra of rising seas, nonetheless prefers to buy and live in multimillion-dollar mansions on the Hawaii beach and Martha’s Vineyard seaside.

A few brave reporters cite China building two coal plants a month, even as it brags about the Paris Climate Accords and urges the West to embrace “clean energy.”

The public begins to wonder why, after mass shootings, authorities mysteriously conceal the transgender status of the shooter or suppress the perpetrator’s incriminating target list and diary.

Quietly, university studies start citing the cardiac, pulmonary, and hematological side effects of the mRNA vaccines.

Some universities, without much fanfare, begin to reintroduce the SAT after remedial math courses have had to expand to accommodate nearly half the entering class.

Economists at last come out of the shadows to cite data that shows the massive COVID lockdowns were a catastrophic blunder that permanently stunted the education of millions of youths and birthed an epidemic of psycho-social maladies that disrupted entire communities.

Accusations grow that the architects of Black Lives Matter embezzled millions of dollars in donations and spent freely on upscale homes for themselves. Data drips out that police shoot no more unarmed black suspects than white, when compared to the relative rates of arrests by race. The Somali community—the supposed DEI face of the new Minnesota Democratic majority—is found to be at the heart of a $9 billion fraud epidemic. And so it is revealed as most ungracious, treating its hosts’ magnanimity as naivete to be exploited rather than as generosity to be appreciated.

On the border, the old mantra that the crime rate of illegal aliens is well below that of citizens is revealed as politically tainted. Estimates emerge that 500,000 criminals or more swarmed the border, as the body count of U.S. citizens murdered and assaulted by illegal aliens grows daily.

In sum, just five years ago, when Joe Biden and his masters took control of the government, the orthodoxy was that we were to restructure the entire economy along failed European lines in order to save the planet. There were no longer to be the two age-old sexes, but a dozen or more in 2021 America.

“Men” could become pregnant (but only if they were born as biological women). Tampons were politically correct in male bathrooms. Preferred pronouns dotted memos. A swarm of 10,000 illegal aliens a day proved America was compassionate and caring while creating a “new Democratic majority,” given that “demography is destiny.”

Blue-city prosecutors released thousands of criminals either without formally charging them or after merely fining them for lesser crimes. Racial obsessions destroyed merit-based hiring of everyone from air traffic controllers to pilots to professors to museum docents.

And then abruptly in 2025, these destructive manias began shriveling up and were destined for the graveyard of forgotten collective lunacies.

Add the lawsuits against the doctors doing tranny surgery and the death of fake meat, a stupid vegan idea and people might realize that the nonsense that the elite and the woke have been selling is just that.

My Uncle’s Contribution To WWII – The Final Chapter

This if the final chapter of what he wrote. These are the links to the first part of the story. It is all firsthand from a kid who had to grow up as soon as he graduated from high school to commanding men and learning to fly what was then the most complex plane ever built, and very similar to the ones that dropped the Atomic Bombs on Japan.

My Uncle’s Contribution To WWII – A B-29 Pilot

My Uncle’s Contribution To WWII – A B29 Pilot – Part 2, Pearl Harbor To Tokyo

We flew three Prisoner of War missions wherein we dropped food, clothing, and medical supplies to our prisoners in their prison camps. One of the conditions stipulated in the Japanese surrender was that they must clearly mark all of the Prisoners of War camps with a large red cross on the roof, or in the yard, so it could be seen by aircraft flying over. We flew to camps located in Formosa (now called Taiwan), Shikoku and Tokyo. After dropping the POW supplies in Tokyo, we flew at approximately 500 feet over the remains of the city at our leisure, as did several other B-29 crews. The devastation of the city was unbelievable.

On October 2, 1945, our crew was assigned to be in the first group of airplanes to start home in Sunset Project #5. I flew airplane numbered A Square 47 named “Sweat’erOut” to Kwajalein, Oahu, and Fairfield-Suisun Field at Sacramento, California, landing October 5, 1945. Approximately two hours out, we had to feather a prop because an engine was running out of oil. Accordingly, my last landing in a B-29 was a three-engine landing. That was my last flight in a United States Army B-29.

The entire military establishment was in a state of extreme confusion after the War ended. It had millions of men in uniform, and most wanted to get out, but not all. I elected to remain in the U.S.Army because I was married and had no skill other than knowing how to fly. I was given 45 days of Rest, Relaxation and Recuperation leave and told to report to my unit, the 73rd Bomb Wing (VH) at March Field, Riverside, California, on December 4, 1945. That date was extended to January 10, 1946. Orders were changed while I was on leave, and we were now told to report to McDill Field, Tampa, Florida on January 10, 1946…but I didn’t get the change notice. Margaret and I bought our first car, a used one, from Holler Chevrolet on West Central Boulevard in Orlando. It was a 1942 black two-door Chevrolet Cabriolet. We drove it from home on leave in Orlando to Riverside, California, carrying my brother John as far as White Sands, New Mexico, where he was to be stationed. We rented a bedroom living accommodation with an Indian family in Riverside, Calif. before I got the word that we should be in Tampa, Florida. We hopped in our car and drove rapidly back across the United States to Tampa.

While I was based at McDill Field in Tampa, there was a surplus of officers with nothing to do, and I elected to attend an officer’s maintenance-training course across the field. I also got a part-time job ferrying new Luscombe Silvaires from their factory in Garland, Texas, near Dallas, to a privately owned Fixed Base Operator at Clearwater, Florida, for $100.00 each ferry trip. I made four or five ferry flights for him. On one flight, I landed in Orlando to spend the night, and the next day I took Margaret and my sister Mary for a ride in the brand new Luscombe Silvaire. Because it was a two-seat airplane, I had to make a second flight to take my sister up. It was the first time either of them had ever flown. It was while I was ferrying these airplanes that I became aware that Eastern Air Lines was hiring pilots in Miami.

My last flight in a U.S. Army airplane was a four-hour ride (required to be eligible for flight pay) in a B-25 on July 9, 1946.

July 18, 1946, I was transferred to Ft Bragg, North Carolina, to be separated from the U.S. Army Air Corps. My date of discharge was effective September 30, 1946.

I had served in the Army for a total period of four years and six months. First, I was an enlisted man for six months, an Aviation Cadet for nine months, and an officer for three years, six months, and six days. I was 23 years old when my military career ended.

The three Medals and decorations I was awarded were for what I consider rather modest accomplishments:
I was awarded the Air Medal with one oak leaf cluster (in lieu of a second Air Medal)
I was awarded the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with two stars (for two different battles in which I participated)
I was awarded the American Campaign Medal for having been in a branch of the military service.

To be employed by any airline, a pilot must have a Flight Instrument Rating endorsement on his civilian flying certificate. On July 24, 1946, I started flight training for my instrument rating in a Fairchild 24 light airplane at the Cannon-Mills airport located in east Orlando. It was located approximately where the 100 block of South Semoran Boulevard runs today. I obtained the instrument rating on September 19, 1946. I was hired as a pilot by Eastern Air Lines on October 6, 1946, six days after my military terminal leave ended. At Eastern, I flew for 38 years until I reached the mandatory retirement age of 60 on my birthday, January 14, 1983.

P S I was recalled to Active Duty with the newly created United States Air Force on June 1, 1951 during the Korean War. Because my civilian employment was with an airline, I was assigned to the military airline, called Military Air Transport Service, based in Mobile, Alabama, at the Brookley Air Force Base. MATS was the acronym of the military’s airline. I flew the huge unpressurized C-74 Globemaster (equipped with the R-4360 engine) airplanes across the Atlantic Ocean usually to Tripoli, Lybia but occasionally to England or Germany. I was released from Active Duty one year and four months later on September 12, 195,2 and returned to our home in Coral Gables, Florida, to resume my civilian career as a pilot with Eastern Air Lines, for whom I flew the next 38 years.

Interestingly enough, in May of 2001, I was qualified to fly as co-pilot of the only existing B-29 that still flies, owned by the Commemorative Air Force of Midland, Texas. It was 56 years since I last flew in that type of airplane.

My Uncle’s Contribution To WWII – A B29 Pilot – Part 2, Pearl Harbor To Tokyo

This is part 2 of My Uncle’s WWII story of going from high school to a squadron leader who led the last raid over Tokyo in WWII

On December 7, 1943, I checked out as the first pilot on the four-engine B-24 bomber airplane. I was 20 years old. I was based in Orlando for almost a full year. Effective March 1, 1944, I was transferred to the 1st Bomb Squadron of the 9th Bomb Group at Brooksville, Florida, as were all non-combat-experienced personnel based at Pinecastle Army Air Base. I was then immediately transferred to the Second Air Force, Dalhart, Texas for further assignment. I flew as co-pilot on a B-17 for this transfer from Brooksville to Dalhart. It was the first time I had ever set foot in a B-17.

1 April 1944, I was transferred from the Second Air Force to the 505th Bomb Group (Very Heavy) of the 313th Bomb Wing (VH) based at Harvard Army Air Field, Nebraska. I was temporarily assigned (for approximately 30 days) to attend a “cadre training” school at the Army Air Forces School of Applied Tactics in Orlando, Florida, before reporting to Nebraska. After I attended the 30-day school, I had seven days leave and married Margaret Baker on April 30, 1944, in Orlando. I then returned to my outfit in Nebraska.

May 13, 194,4 I was assigned to the 484th Bomb Squadron, 505th Bomb Group, 313th Bomb Wing. I was assigned a co-pilot named Frederick A. Kays Jr. and a Radio Operator named William G. Coyle. We did most of our flight training in B-17s because there was such a small number of B-29 airplane existent worldwide. I had my first ride in a B-29 on July 22, 1944. I checked out as the first pilot in the B-29 on September 8, 1944, when I was 21 years old. The B-29 was at that time the largest airplane in the skies…airline or military. Margaret and I lived in one of the Showboat Motel detached cottages in Hastings, Nebraska, approximately 30 miles from the Harvard Army Air Base. We had no car. Lieutenant Warren C. Shipp often drove me to and from the air base, but it was difficult for me because the Army scheduled training 24 hours per day.

While flying the return leg of a routine training flight from Harvard, Nebraska to Orlando and back to Harvard in a B-17, Lieutenant Otto Haas and I had an engine failure. We landed at the nearest Army airport, which was Nashville, Tennessee on September 10, 1944. On Sept. 18th, we got the B-17 back to Harvard, Neb. with a replacement engine installed. Our Commanding Officer was very provoked with our absence of nine days because the B-29 training program was such a high priority. We were totally unaware of the urgency of our B-29 training.

Five days later on September 23, 1944, I, and about 300 other men, were relieved from the 505th Bomb Group, 313th Bomb Wing assignment and transferred to the 236th AAF Base Unit Combat Crew Training School (VH)) Army Air Base Pyote, Texas. Our crew was to be trained there as a B-29 Replacement Crew. Margaret and I rode the train from Hastings, Nebraska to Pecos, Texas, where we rented a room with kitchen privileges with a real fine Texas family named Titus. It was at Pyote AAB that I first met the 10 other crew members whom I later took into combat on my crew. Effective January 8, 1945, I was granted 13 days leave, and Margaret and I rode the train from Pecos, Texas to our home in Orlando. I left her in Orlando when I returned to Pyote because I was soon to go overseas. We continued to fly training flights at Pyote, Texas until February 21, 1945, when our replacement crew was fully trained, and we then boarded another troop train for our transfer to a staging base, Army Air Field at Herington, Kansas, to be processed for overseas duty.

March 3, 1945, we boarded yet another troop train in Herington, Kansas for transfer to our intermediate assignment at Hamilton Field, San Francisco, California. In San Francisco, our crew waited a few days to catch a ride on a Military Air Transport Command C-54 transport airplane from San Francisco to Oahu, Hawaii, to Johnson Island to Kwajalein to Guam, sleeping en route at each stop, save Johnson Island, where the airplane was immediately refueled and departed.

Like all B-29 replacement crews, we were first sent to the island of Guam, because that was the site of XXI Bomber Command Headquarters. However, before we spent a night on Guam, we were assigned to the prestigious 73rd Bomb Wing (VH) on Saipan. We caught a C-46 Military Transport to Saipan, and then received Special Orders No. 65 from Headquarters APO 237 on Saipan dated March 14, 1945, assigning us to the 871st Squadron, 497th Bomb Group, 73rd Bomb Wing (VH) on Saipan. At that time, I did not realize what an honor it was to be a member of the pioneering and historic 73rd Wing. I was living among true heroes with those men. Even today some 50 years later, all B-29 men who served in the Pacific look with awe and admiration at the valiant 73rd Wing who stood alone on Saipan, and flew their missions against Japan for so many months. During our first evening on Saipan, we sat through our first enemy attack alarm when we experienced “condition red”, but saw no enemy airplanes.

Our first flight off Saipan was March 29, 1945. We flew several orientation flights, practice flights, test flights, and engine “slow time” flights before we went on our first combat mission April 13th, to Tokyo in a B-29 numbered A Square 52 and named “Teaser”. It was a night incendiary raid with 16,700 lbs. of bombs. Oddly enough, it was the first time I ever took off with my landing light turned on. Previously, I had been taught that landing lights were only used for landing. As was customary with each take off of the heavily overloaded B-29s, we skimmed the ocean for miles and miles always flying the first hour at less than 400 feet altitude on each mission! The loss of an engine in this precarious situation required immediate salvoing of the bomb load or a crash into the sea. The first B-29, which arrived in the Pacific, “Jolting Josie, the Pacific Pioneer” still lies in the ocean of the end of the runway at Saipan because she encountered this impossible situation.

The first time I landed at Iwo Jima was May 24, 1945, coming home from our 9th combat mission with the number 1 engine feathered due to a gradual loss of oil. The runway was unpaved clay at the time. We had foolishly gone over Tokyo on three engines the previous evening, with the approval of each of our crew members.

We flew our 13th combat mission to Tokyo on June 6, 1945, taking 14:10 hours. Some days later, we received word that we were to fly one of the first war-weary B-29s numbered A Square 43, named “Thunderhead”, to Kwajalein, Oahu, and Travis Field (it was then called Fairfield-Suisun airfield) at Sacramento, California. As we passed through Kwaj on June 14th, we learned that the very first crew to complete their 35 missions and return home in “Dauntless Dottie” (which led the first B-29 raid on Japan on November 24, 1944) had crashed on takeoff the preceding evening! What a shame! We were going home to attend a prestigious “lead crew school” for approximately 30 days at the Muroc AAB, California, which is now the celebrated Edwards Air Force Base. We were to report there on June 29th. Upon landing our B-29 at Fairfield-Suisun Fiel,d I immediately rode civilian airlines from San Francisco to Orlando to visit Margaret. That was the first time I ever rode in a commercial airplane, all DC-3s, flown by United, American, Delta, then Eastern. I was in Orlando approximately 8 days before I had to fly back to Muroc AAB, bumming rides on military airplanes (as was quite common by all military personnel during the War).

We finished our training at the lead crew school at Muroc AAB on July 31 and received orders to report to Hamilton Field on August 4, 1945, for transport back to our outfit on Saipan. Again, we rode the Military Air Transport Command C-54 to Hawaii, Johnson, Kwajalein, Guam, and Saipan. Note: on August 6th and 9th, the two atomic bombs were dropped while we were en route back to Saipa,n our second time.

Contrary to popular opinion, the war did not end after the two atomic bombs were dropped. The Japanese Army and Navy stood ready to defend the homeland from the invasion scheduled for November 1945. Exactly 916 different combat crews of the five different B-29 combat wings flew missions and dropped bombs on Japan after August 9th. (See: Resume 20th Air Force Missions, Library of Congress, published by Richard M Keenan, 1945). “Total surrender” was a difficult concept for the Japanese to accept. On the night of August 14-15t,h I flew my 14th and last combat mission when I led the last B-29 raid off Saipan. Earlier that morning, the pioneer 73rd Wing had sent a “maximum effort” of 161 airplanes to bomb Osaka, Japan. The 13 airplanes I was to lead on this last mission were those that were mechanically unable to go on the earlier Osaka raid, but had been repaired and returned to service since the max. The effort raid took off. It was composed of 1 airplane from the 500th Group, 1 from the 498th, 2 from the 499th, and 9 from my 497th. (However, 4 scratched, and 1 aborted). At the briefing, we were instructed that if my radio operator received a transmission that the Japanese government had capitulated, I was instructed to transmit on voice radio the message “UTAH, UTAH, UTAH” to the other airplanes on our raid. My radio operator never received a message of capitulation, so the voice message was not transmitted, and we all dropped our bombs as briefed.

THIS WAS THE VERY LAST MISSION OF THE WAR! It was XXI Bomber Command Mission Number 330, a night incendiary raid of 13:30 hours with 14,940 lbs of general-purpose bombs to Isesaki, Japan. Our time over the targets is recorded as 0108-0315. When we returned from that all-night mission, the “War Is Over!” proclaimed a huge sign in our 497th Group unit’s briefing-debriefing Quonset hut.

We flew three prisoner-of-war missions wherein we dropped food, clothing, and medical supplies to our prisoners in their prison camps. One of the conditions stipulated in the Japanese surrender was that they must clearly mark all of the Prisoners of War camps with a large red cross on the roof, or in the yard, so it could be seen by aircraft flying over. We flew to camps located in Formosa (now called Taiwan), Shikoku, and Tokyo. After dropping the POW supplies in Tokyo, we flew at approximately 500 feet over the remains of the city at our leisure, as did several other B-29 crews. The devastation of the city was unbelievable.

On October 2, 1945, our crew was assigned to be in the first group of airplanes to start home in Sunset Project #5. I flew airplane numbered A Square 47 named “Sweat’erOut” to Kwajalein, Oahu, and Fairfiel-Suisun Field at Sacramento, California landing on October 5, 1945. Approximately two hours out, we had to feather a prop because an engine was running out of oil. Accordingly, my last landing in a B-29 was a three-engine landing. That was my last flight in a United States Army B-29.

The entire military establishment was in a state of extreme confusion after the War ended. It had millions of men in uniform, and most wanted to get out, but not all. I elected to remain in the U.S.Army because I was married and had no skill other than knowing how to fly. I was given 45 days of Rest, Relaxation and Recuperation leave and told to report to my unit, the 73rd Bomb Wing (VH) at March Field, Riverside, California, on December 4, 1945. That date was extended to January 10, 1946. Orders were changed while I was on leave, and we were now told to report to McDill Field, Tampa, Florida, on January 10, 1946…but I didn’t get the change notice. Margaret and I bought our first car, a used one, from Holler Chevrolet on West Central Boulevard in Orlando. It was a 1942 black two-door Chevrolet Cabriolet. We drove it from home leave in Orlando to Riverside, California, carrying my brother John as far as White Sands, New Mexico, where he was to be stationed. We rented a bedroom living accommodation with an Indian family in Riverside, Calif. before I got the word that we should be in Tampa, Florida. We hopped in our car and drove rapidly back across the United States to Tampa.

My Uncle’s Contribution To WWII – A B-29 Pilot

I recently posted a WordPress question asking whether I was patriotic. Unferth commented that I should write about my Uncle and my Father’s experience.

Before he died, my Uncle sent this document. It’s long, so I’m going to break it over a couple of days so it is readable.

He went from high school to commanding a bomber fleet over Tokyo on the last mission of WWII.

THE WORLD WAR II EXPERIENCES OF JOSEPH A. SIMONDS.
649 Balmoral Road, Winter Park, FL 32789
Serial Number O-799083

Written August 3, 1992. The following was written for no specific purpose. I just thought I might set down a few dates and experiences for my own personal benefit. If the reader enjoys perusing this effort, the writer will be happy. Probably the two most significant events are 1) being on the initial flight into the Pinecastle Army Air Field in 1943, which is now called Orlando International Airport, and 2) flying the very last mission of World War II, dropping the last bombs on Japan.

I was born on January 14, 1923 in the General Hospital in Orlando, Florida. I graduated from the only high school in town, Orlando Senior High School, on Friday, June 6, 1941. I was 18 years old at the time. I enrolled as a freshman at the University of Florida the following September. While in High School, I had taken a couple of rides in an airplane. My first time aloft was in the back seat of a barnstorming Howard airplane from the Orlando Municipal airport. I don’t know in what year that occurred, but it was during the depression years. I enjoyed the flying experience, but I never thought I would ever go up in an airplane again. However, in High School, I joined a fraternity named Omega Xi (a very socially select small group), and one of the members, Mac Nangle, was a pilot. His father owned a side-by-side two-place Taylorcraft, which he kept on a private airport in his orange grove in western Orange County. Mac took me up two or three times. I’m not sure Mac had a pilot’s certificate, but he knew how to fly and had access to an airplane. Sadly, Mac was later killed during the war in an Army basic training aircraft in Oklahoma.

During this era, the people of the United States were about equally divided on the issue of World War II, which was going on in Europe. It had started in September of 1939 when Germany invaded Poland and conquered all of Europe except England. It had been underway for two years when I graduated from high school. In this country, I was among those who favored Isolationism, for I did not believe the U S should again fight in a European war.

On Sunday, December 7, 1941, the Japanese suddenly and secretly bombed Pearl Harbor. The entire world was shocked by this dastardly attack. The United States was thereby thrust into World War II. The exact moment I heard the news I was in a football uniform on the P.K. Younge School grounds in Gainesville, Florida, practicing for the annual football game between my Phi Delta Theta fraternity and the Sigma Nus. It was in the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house living room that I heard Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “Day of Infamy” speech the following day.

In early January 1942 I finished my first semester at the University of Florida and withdrew from school to join the military service. I only considered the Army Air Corps…never gave the Navy a thought.

March 30, 1942 I became an Aviation Cadet in the U.S. Army Air Corps. I was sworn in as a Private at the Orlando Air Base on March 30, 1942 with Serial Number 14052578. I was classified as “Private Unassigned” and sent to my home address in Orlando to await further orders. The pay of a Private was $21.00 per month.

On June 1st, I received a telegram ordering me to “active duty” and telling me to report to U.S. Army Camp Blanding, Starke, Florida on June 13, 1942. While there for only a day or two, we slept in square, eight-man canvas tents, sans uniforms.

June 15, 1942 I was appointed an Aviation Cadet and transferred to the Air Force Cadet Classification Center at Maxwell Field, Montgomery, Alabama. I rode in a private car owned and driven by Ralph L. Smathers of Orlando, from Camp Blanding to Maxwell Field with John Stonecipher, Jack Lee, and two other Orlando boys who were also newly appointed Aviation Cadets. At Maxwell Field, I was issued my Aviation Cadet uniforms and insignia. Also, there I took various tests to determine if I was to become a pilot, a navigator, or a bombardier. On June 26, 1942 I was classified as a pilot trainee, assigned to Class 43-C, and issued orders to report to the AAF Pre-Flight (Pilot) Training Center at Maxwell Field on July 10, 1942. Because we had a few days of freedom, we all climbed in Ralph Smather’s car and drove to Orlando to show off our new uniforms. Margaret’s mother was very impressed with the quality of my military uniform. I recall sitting on her front porch at 520 Anderson Street in Orlando as she examined my hat very carefully. She had, of course, already lost a son in the war when her middle child Joe Baker’s ship was sunk by a German submarine on May 25, 1942 in the Gulf of Mexico. He was probably Orlando’s first fatality of World War II. We drove back to Maxwell Field to report for duty on July 10, 1942. I spent approximately two months in Pre-Flight training at that base.

On September 9, 1942 after completing the Pre-Flight training I, along with about 180 other Cadets, was issued orders to report to The Civilian Elementary Flying School AAFTD, Southern Aviation School, Camden, South Carolina. I reported there on September 13, 1942. The “troop train” ride from Montgomery, Alabama, through Atlanta, Georgia to Camden, South Carolina was my first experience riding on a troop train. There were many such adventurous train rides to follow. When we arrived in Camden, South Carolina, about ten in the morning, we got off the train and looked up at the sky to find it filled with many, many PT -17 training airplanes. And we noted that many airplanes had differently colored lower wings on opposite sides of the airplane. Some were blue, some were yellow, and some were silver. Some airplanes had both wings the same color, but many did not. Before we left Camde,n we learned that the P T -17 has a “ground looping” characteristic which frequently caused the lower wing to be damaged, and therefore changed. It was obvious that the mechanics simply installed any new lower wing they had in inventory, no matter what the color.

On September 15, 1942 I took my first: 32 minute flying instructions in an Army airplane with my instructor Frank W. Poe 3rd (certificate number C-93789). The airplane was a primary trainer Stearmen PT-17. Woodruf Field at Camden, S.C. was a grass airport with no pavement at all. I loved it.

On October 2, 1942 I soloed in that airplane after having received 9:27 hours of dual instruction. My solo flight was from an auxiliary field located north of the main Camden airport, and lasted 20 minutes with several landings. On my first solo landing, I dragged the lower left wing along the ground, but the airplane went straight, and I avoided that dreaded “ground loop” for which this airplane was noted. I taxied to the side of the airport to a buildin,g and a mechanic came out to examine my airplane. I kept the engine running while he shook the lower wing up and down once or twice, then indicated to me that it was O.K. and I taxied out for some more landing practice. I flew 60:00 hours in this airplane at Camden, S.C., before I finished the course and was transferred from a Primary Flight school to a Basic Flight school.

I, along with approximately 140 other Cadets who had not yet “washed out,”, was transferred on November 16, 1942 to the AAF Basic Flying School, Cochran Field, Macon, Georgia. There, I flew the Vultee BT-13 basic trainer airplane for approximately 70:15 hours. I did my first night solo work here. My brother John, who was also in the Army based at Camp Blanding, Florida, somehow managed to visit me briefly while I was based at Cochran Field. This was the first Christmas I spent away from home, and I hardly left my barracks room on Christmas Day because there was no military activity, and I was a very blue aviation cadet.

On January 26, 1943 I was transferred to the United States Army Advanced Flying School at Turner Field, Albany, Georgia. While there, I flew Beechcraft AT-10 and Curtiss Wright AT-9 advanced twin-engine trainer-type airplanes.

On March 25, 1943 I graduated from the U.S. Army flying school at Turner Field, Albany, Georgia in Class 43-C with a grand total of 272 hours flying time. On that date, I was discharged from my assignment as an Aviation Cadet, Serial Number 14052578, and appointed a Second Lieutenant in the Army of the United States with a new Officer’s Serial Number O-799083.

My first Active Duty assignment was to report to the Army Air Force School of Applied Tactics, Bomb Department in my hometown of Orlando, Florida on March 27th 1943. Mother, Dad, and my sister Mary (who had ridden the train to attend my graduation) were delighted, as was I. I reported there and was assigned to the 5th Bomb Squadron, 9th Bomb Group Heavy, located on the Signal Hill portion of the Orlando Air Base. I was assigned to fly as co-pilot on four-engine B-24 bomber airplanes. Soon thereafter, on April 15, 1943 our entire Squadron was transferred from the Orlando Air Base to the new Pinecastle Army Air Field, at Pinecastle, Florida. That was the first day any airplanes ever landed at Pinecastle airfield. The first airplane to land was piloted by our Squadron Commanding Officer, Major Role E. Stone. I flew a little Piper L-4 “Grasshopper” Liaison observation airplane solo between the two airports. The air base was later renamed McCoy Air Force Base and later became the Orlando International Airport.

AOTW

I used to think Prince Chuckles was the biggest retard of the Royals. After all, his parents were cousins, and he said some really stupid stuff while his mum kept him off the throne until he was 70.

Then, I wondered if ex-Prince Harry was even dumber. He married an entitled B-Actress bitch. He went from having millions for doing nothing, servants, yachts, private planes, and access to anything he wanted. He threw all of that and his title away for a bitch. Soon, she will try to take away as much as she can get out of him soon, and drag the royals through the mud along the way. I’d have kicked her sorry ass to the curb for acting the way she did so fast it would make your head spin.

But……..

This week, ex-Prince Andrew took the cake. He was worthless and had a great life, but had to go and fuck underage girls and live a life of debauchery with Jeffrey Epstein. Here’s the catch (especially for cheaters), you always get caught. Your past never goes away.

He got arrested, and the money that was given to the girl he raped, Virginia Guthrie, supposedly 12 million pounds, was authorized by Chuckles, so he’s goingto bring down the king with him if they dig deeper than the surface.

Police continued on Friday to search the former home of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, a day after he was arrested and held in custody for the best part of 11 hours on suspicion of misconduct in public office linked to his friendship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

His arrest follows years of allegations over his links with Epstein, who took his own life in a New York prison in 2019. The accusation at the heart of his arrest is that Mountbatten-Windsor — who was known as Prince Andrew until October when his brother stripped him of his titles and honors and banished him from Royal Lodge — shared confidential trade information with the disgraced financier when he was a trade envoy for the U.K.

Mountbatten-Windsor was the first royal since King Charles I nearly four centuries ago to be placed under arrest. That turned into a seismic moment in British history, leading to civil war, Charles’ beheading, and the temporary abolition of the monarchy.

His arrest is undoubtedly one of the gravest crises to affect the House of Windsor since its establishment more than 100 years ago. Arguably, only the abdication of King Edward VIII in 1936 and the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997 have been as grave for the institution of the British monarchy in modern times.

What a dick. For this, you are the asshole of the week

Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?

Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?

Yes. If you cut me, I bleed red, white, and blue.

Every male in my family served. My uncle flew the last mission over Tokyo. My father helped develop the top-secret Radio Proximity Fuse that stopped the V1, V2, and Kamikaze planes.

I stand for the National Anthem, and if in public, I sing loud enough that people join me.

I’m proud of the USA, warts and all. I suffer through the crap administrations and rejoice in the good ones. I support them all and try to give them respect. If I can’t do that, I give them restraint.

I’m a student of history, and I know what we’ve done around the world. While a lot of blood was shed, we were mostly on the right side. If Congress had gotten out of the way, some of the situations we were in would have been over faster, or wouldn’t have happened.

So Hell yes, I’m Patriotic and it pisses me off when ingrates take a knee or talk shit about the flag when they are representing our country.

Introverts need downtime to recharge their energy. Forcing them to socialize beyond what feels comfortable for them can leave them feeling drained and exhausted. For example, if you guilt-trip your introverted partner into attending two big events in one weekend, they might end up feeling tired and stressed.

So, respect their boundaries and give them the time and space they need to recharge their energy. Maybe the two of you agree to drive separately so your partner can leave when their social battery is reaching empty. Or maybe they’ll sit this event out, but go to another one in the future that’s more important to you.

2. Don’t make them feel guilty for wanting to spend time alone.

Everyone needs downtime to recharge their energy and process their thoughts and emotions — especially introverts. When they want to be alone, it’s not about you. Introverts are simply wired differently than extroverts; you can read the science behind why introverts love alone time here.

Sometimes extroverts make off-hand comments that make introverts feel guilty: “Don’t you enjoy spending time with me?” or “I never have a problem hanging out with you, why is it so hard for you to do the same?” They don’t realize that saying these things can hurt their relationship.

If you find yourself doing this, try to understand your partner’s need for solitude and support them. If the two of you live together, you could help them create an “introvert zen zone” or sanctuary in your home — a place that they can retreat to as needed. 

3. Give them space when they’re in the middle of a task. 

When introverts are working on a task, like looking up information or meticulously planning the meals for the week, they tend to focus deeply. And many of them thrive when doing this deep work. Interrupting them when they’re in the middle of something can be frustrating for them. So, be patient and wait for a time when they’re more available. Or wait until they take a break and seek you out.

4. Don’t push them to be more talkative or expressive.

Introverts tend to express themselves a little differently than extroverts. For example, they might prefer writing a thoughtful text over having a face-to-face conversation about serious topics. They might be quiet in large groups, especially when they’re around people who they don’t know well (like a gathering of your extended relatives).

So, don’t push your partner to be more talkative or expressive than they’re comfortable with. Don’t say things like, “Why are you so quiet?” or “Come on, join the conversation, everyone’s waiting to hear from you.” Believe me, they’ll talk when they’re ready. Usually, this will happen around close friends and loved ones.

5. Don’t assume they’re not interested in spending time with you just because they enjoy different activities.

Introverts often prefer spending time alone or with small groups rather than with many people at once. But… they are still interested in spending time with you. Otherwise, they would not be with you!

Keep in mind that they may enjoy more low-key introvert-friendly activities, such as walking, watching a movie, or having a quiet dinner together vs. checking out the bustling new restaurant. Please don’t take their preference for more peaceful activities as a lack of interest in spending time with you.

6. Don’t criticize them for not being more outgoing. 

Similar to #4, criticizing your introverted partner for not being more social can be hurtful and make them feel inadequate. Introversion is a healthy personality trait that cannot be changed. Yes, your partner can grow and learn — perhaps they need to learn to communicate better — but introversion is in their DNA, so they’ll always have a general preference for quiet and calm. Expecting someone to act against their true nature is unfair.

Instead of criticizing them, appreciate them for who they are. You fell in love with them for a reason, right? 

7. Don’t assume their quietness means they’re mad or bored. 

For some people, sitting quietly side by side might seem boring or uncomfortable. However, for introverts, this situation often has a different feel. Silence doesn’t necessarily signify discomfort or boredom; rather, it’s a space where introverts feel at ease. Allow your introverted partner to just be, to relax quietly in your company. It’s a meaningful way to connect and show understanding of their needs.

8. Don’t assume they’re not enjoying themselves just because they’re not showing it outwardly. 

Similar to the point above, don’t assume your introverted partner is not having a good time just because they’re not expressing it as much as you may be. They just might prefer to express themselves in quieter, more subtle ways. 

9. Don’t expect them to be the life of the party. 

Introverts might be uncomfortable being the center of attention and entertaining others. Don’t expect them to be the life of the party or continuously make small talk, if you, say, have guests in your shared home or go away with friends for the weekend. Instead, appreciate their presence and the contributions they make in their own way. If you have a dinner party, for instance, they might be great at listening attentively to guests and making sure everyone is comfortable. 

10. Don’t assume they’re not interested in making friends or meeting new people. 

Just because someone is an introvert doesn’t mean they don’t want to make friends or meet new people. They just might prefer to do so in smaller settings or through shared interests rather than in large social gatherings. Introverts don’t consider everyone to be their friend (as extroverts might), and that’s okay!

11. Don’t make them feel abnormal for being an introvert. 

Introversion is not weird or abnormal. Plus, 30 to 50 percent of the population may be introverted, so it’s hardly rare!

Think about the strengths your introverted partner brings to your relationship. For example, they might be excellent listeners, offering you their undivided attention when you talk about your day. They often think deeply before speaking, which means their words and advice are usually well-considered and insightful. Introverts also tend to enjoy meaningful one-on-one conversations, which can strengthen the emotional connection in your relationship. And, their love of quiet, low-key environments can create a peaceful, calming atmosphere at home.

12. Don’t guilt them into participating in activities that require a lot of small talk. 

Making introverts participate in activities that require a lot of small talk can be overwhelming and exhausting for them. Allow them to join in their own way or for them to opt-out altogether. Respect their boundaries and preferences. After all, you two can find other activities that appeal to both of you. And the two of you do not have to do everything together.

13. Don’t expect them to be as spontaneous as you might be. 

Introverts may not be as spontaneous as extroverts, and that’s perfectly fine. They may prefer to plan activities (they’re great planners!) and take time to thoroughly consider all the options. Don’t expect them to be more spontaneous than they’re comfortable with. That can be your department.

14. Don’t assume they’re not good communicators just because they’re introverted. 

Introverts may not communicate in the same way as extroverts, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t good communicators. In fact, they can be pros at reading body language, noticing subtle changes in someone’s facial expression or tone of voice, which helps them understand unspoken feelings or concerns. Introverts are also typically good at written communication; they may craft you well-articulated texts or love letters.

15. Don’t judge them if they need to be alone after a social event.

After social events, introverts might need to be alone to recharge their batteries. So, don’t expect them to be up for another social event immediately after a big party or gathering. Or, they might not want to go out for dinner right after a day filled with meetings and socializing at work.

Again, don’t take their need for alone time as a sign of rejection or disinterest. Instead, give them this time, and know they’ll have more energy afterwards.

AOTW

Yannow, I’ve been waiting for this one. You can count on the celebtards to be on the wrong side of just about everything that is good for America, and they can’t keep their mouths shut.

Let’s get the pissants out of the way. First their is the human bowling ball, Jerry Nadler. Fortunately, he is retiring, but he helped set America back during the first Trump Administration.

He came up with this beauty: Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) on Tuesday said Americans would be justified in shooting masked ICE agents.

“What is really the major problem in this country today is the fascism in our streets,” Nadler said during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday. In people who should have never been voted in, he’s up there with AOC, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff and Pocohantas.

Celebtards I can always count on are DeNiro, Billie Eillish and Mark Ruffalo.

One of the biggest assholes is Bruce Springsteen. He got chased offstage recently with USA, USA chants when trying to sing his anti-ice song. A well-known Trump hater, he’s been anything but the Born in the USA person he sang about. People like this should leave if they hate what the country is doing that much. He has ranted for decades against the good in the country.

Here is an excerpt:

Bruce ‘The Boss’ Springsteen apparently earned his alias by bilking fans and venues early in his career, in order to pay his bandmates. He’s spent the last several decades shaking down America, and his latest track – ‘Streets of Minneapolis’ – is no different.

No statement appears to have been made about the revenue generated from the new, anti-cop song. Springsteen will always find a way to turn tragedy into merchandise. ‘The Boss’ is again raking in cash made from his caterwauling, this time over dead left-wing agitators.

Streets of Minneapolis is, naturally, filled with craven falsehoods.

Springsteen portrays Pretti as some harmless peacenik protester — a claim that collapsed almost immediately under the weight of police reports and video evidence.

“I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday, and released it to you today…” Springsteen swelled on Wednesday, as if rushing out propaganda is a form of genius rather than negligence.

The speed at which he pulled together the cliched melodies and a harmonica solo that sounds like it was lifted from outtakes from The Promised Land (1978) was part of its sales pitch.

You are so wrong, you are the AOTW.

Celebrities should shut up about politics. Most Americans are smarter, they just don’t have the platform.

The Dems Knew The 2020 Election Was Stolen, But The Consequences Were 12 Years Of Trump Instead Of Being Done In 8

They did everything they could to get rid of him. There were impeachments, illegal raids on his house (that found nothing), a massive amount of lawsuits, a fake pandemic, a fake January 6th Insurrection, 2 assassination attempts, lawfare, and Russiagate.

They were trying to prevent him from finding out the illegal activities and money laundering of the deep state. He wasn’t one of theirs that they could control and be his puppeteer, like they did with Biden.

What they didn’t realize was that they could have been done with him in 2024. It was very short-sighted by the uni-party, deepstate, and anti-American politicians who vie for power and money in Washington. Instead, they threw their gauntlet at preventing him from running and winning in 2024.

The result? Four more years of Trump, while he was still relevant in the four useless years of the Biden presidency.

He is now dismantling even more of their power, like US Aid, the UN, the WHO, the Climate Hoax and the other lies.

My wife’s relatives live in Scandinavia. I had to cut them off from social media because they believed the news, which also hate Trump and spewed stuff I couldn’t stomach anymore. I’m laughing at them getting a triple serving of Trump instead of this being the presidency of someone else, and Trump would have served his 4 years.

He got stronger in between terms and came down harder on the swamp.

I’m laughing at all of them hating each day they wake up, and Trump has succeeded at everything from lowering food prices, lowering inflation, bringing more peace around the world and defying the global power machine.

I don’t get to see it, but I know the Europeans on my wife’s side must be seething. It’s schadenfreude for me, but after decades of marriage, which gave me decades of America-bashing by them is very funny and just deserved, just like it is to the media, the swamp, and the other retards in government.

First, I’d like to start out with Natalie Portman. I loved Star Wars, and she was a terrible actress and character in the prequels. I hold it against the prequels for the beginning of the ruination of a great story.

Now, like all celebtards, they can’t keep their mouths shut on politics, which they are grossly underqualified to pontificate on. Your job is to pretend to be someone else and distract us for a couple of hours from the political shit we go through.

She said this: Actress Natalie Portman has denounced America’s ICE agents as the “worst of the worst of humanity.”

Speaking to Deadline at the Sundance Film Festival, Portman said that while President Donald Trump and ICE were evil, the far-left protesters represented the “best of humanity.”

“What’s going on in our country right now is absolutely horrific, with the federal government, Trump’s government, Kristi Noem, ICE,” she said.

She is certainly both an asshole and what’s worse, a Liberal White Woman.

Olivia Wilde said the same thing, but she is a broken record on liberalism.

Al Gore’s ‘Inconvenient Truth’ turns 20, and critics say biggest disaster is its failed predictions

Last week, I wrote that the real inconvenient truth about Al Gore’s movie was that it was a lie

I came across this article that details the whole thing far more than I did. It was a scare tactic for money, and to make up for losing to Bush for president. I’m still not convinced he believed all the snake oil he was selling because it was too far out there. The UN, Hollywood and assholes like John Kerry all rode piggyback on this lie, while they flew in private jets and all had 3 mansions or more.

I had to work with industry analysts like Redmonk and Greenmonk, who were influential inside of IBM. I knew it was a lie, but it was their religion and they were willing to lie for money, just like Gore.

Anyway, let’s dive into the truth here. Spoiler, at the end is where you and I get screwed. Energy prices rose, making everything more expensive. All for his ego:

Twenty years ago Monday, former Vice-President Al Gore’s documentary on global warming, “An Inconvenient Truth,”  premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and received a standing ovation. The 2006 documentary was released to theaters the following May and went on to gross over $25 million worldwide.

Gore’s film was a primary catalyst for the climate activist movement, and it generated a lot of concern about global warming following its release. The movie left audiences with the impression that the human race was hurtling toward a dystopian future on a planet baking in unbearable temperatures where extreme weather caused frequent disasters. 

Almost 13 years to the day after its release, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was telling people the world would end in 12 years – presumably five years from now – because of the burning of fossil fuels. 

Matt Wielicki, who writes about climate and energy on his “Irrational Fear” Substack, was once an assistant professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Alabama. In the early part of his academic career, he taught at a local college. 

He told Just the News that he showed “An Inconvenient Truth” to his students. Over time, he began to question the “gloom and doom” narratives Gore presents in his film, he said. 

“People took that as a starting point, and they just kept running further and further with it,” Wielicki said. 

Gore’s film, however, was full of numerous predictions that turned out to be wrong, and it’s likely that the world will not end in 2031, as Ocasio-Cortez predicted. 

Stubborn ice

Among the predictions Gore made in the documentary is that Africa’s Mt. Kilimanjaro would have no more snow on it by 2016. In 2020, The Times reported that the snow on the 19,000-foot mountain remained, despite Gore’s predictions. But the documentary had caused some to rush to climb the mountain before the snow disappeared. Instead, the tourists are surprised to find glaciers still clinging to it. 

Gore also predicted that Glacier National Park would be “the park formerly known as Glacier” after all the ice melted away in the blazing hot temperatures that were to descend upon the human race. The claim made a big mark, and federal agencies began looking closely at glaciers.  

The U.S. Geological Survey predicted all the glaciers in the park would be gone by 2020. Signs were placed throughout the park warning visitors of the impending end of glaciers, which never happened. Instead, CNN reported, the signs had to be removed in 2020 when it was clear the glaciers remained.

Gore also connected Hurricane Katrina to global warming – later renamed climate change – and he predicted that these storms would become more frequent. The reality of human contributions to hurricane activity is far more nuanced and uncertain than Gore discusses in the documentary. 

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has a section on its website dedicated to the topic. 

“In summary, it is premature to conclude with high confidence that human-caused increases in greenhouse gases have caused a change in past Atlantic basin hurricane activity that is outside the range of natural variability, although greenhouse gases are strongly linked to global warming,” the page reads.

Uncertainty and nuance

Meteorologist Chris Martz said that climate science is full of the kind of uncertainty and nuance you see on the NOAA website, which “An Inconvenient Truth” dismisses entirely. 

Since Gore’s film was released – which was given a sequel in 2017 – Gore has continued to make false predictions, the meteorologist said. In 2009, Gore stated that the Arctic would be ice-free in summer within five to seven years. As of today, the Arctic still has ice in summer. 

“We look at the Arctic ice now and yes, it’s declined since 1979 when satellite records began … But over the last 18 to 20 years, there’s really been no trend. And this caught scientists off guard. The models never predicted this,” Martz told Just the News. 

He also said there’s been multiple studies on Arctic ice, and while some predicted an ice-free Arctic, others find the ice extent in the region recedes or grows as a result of natural variability. 

Predictions of cataclysm stemming from climate change regularly get reported in the media, but there’s little reporting when the predictions fail. In 2022, NBC News was one of many outlets reporting that California and the American West were in the midst of a “megadrought,” which was the worst the region had seen in over 1,000 years. 

Earlier this month, NBC reported that California is drought free for the first time in 25 years. The article makes no mention of the previously predicted “megadrought,” nor does it mention climate change. 

Martz said that many of his critics respond to these failed predictions by arguing they weren’t made by scientists in peer-reviewed articles published in journals. Instead, they’re made by politicians or scientists in interviews. But most people don’t get their information from scientific journals. They get it from the media, Martz said. 

“That communication is what’s more important in terms of public perception of what science is,” he said. 

Listening to the experts

Though it had no scientific basis, there was a widespread belief that global warming could cause the human race to go extinct. 

A 2017 survey found that 40% of Americans believed there is a 50% chance of that happening. In fact, the number of people killed by natural disasters has never been lower, a fact largely ignored by the media. 

People appear more likely to be influenced by Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez than the scientific data on deaths from climate-related natural disasters. 

Her statement that the world would end in 12 years was actually a misreading of a special report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which predicted that the world would need to cut its carbon dioxide emissions by 40-50% by 2030 and eliminate them entirely by 2050 to keep temperatures from rising more than 1.5 degrees celsius above levels they were at before humans began burning a lot of fossil fuels. 

There’s nothing in the report that predicts disaster after crossing that threshold, and some experts are estimating that we have already done so. The report estimates that under the worst-case scenario, the global GDP loses about 2.6%, but it would still be about 10 times larger than it is today. But people didn’t read the report. They just heard Ocasio-Cortez warning of end times. 

The report, or at least Ocasio-Cortez’s understanding of it, led her to introduce the ambitious Green New Deal plan, a suite of progressive policies justified as presenting global disaster. It failed to get a single vote when it was brought to the Senate floor for a procedural vote, which would mean, according to Ocasio-Cortez, the world has five years until it ends.

Larry Behrens, communications director for Power the Future, told Just the News that AOC likely spent the seven-year anniversary of her prediction doing exactly what she does any other day. 

“Because she knows it was nonsense when she said it, and it’s nonsense now,” he said. “Make no mistake, she’ll join the rest of the eco-left in their convenient climate silence, hoping voters forget their green crusade delivered record energy prices and crushing inflation. On this anniversary, ‘climate’ is the last word AOC and her allies want to utter because midterms are coming, and voters remember exactly who made life more expensive.”

First, we made it through the storm with little damage. Others weren’t as lucky.

Worse, as you read this, I’m likely on the table for my Colonoscopy, so I’m not really gonna feel like posting much.

About The Ice Storm And Me

I’m going to be in the middle of the Ice storm. There is no telling what will happen as the storm could affect me power wise.

If you don’t see any posts, you know what happened.

I will point out that this is a good reason to have a diesel truck instead of an electric car.

I tested my generator, and it’s working. I have plenty of ethanol-free gas.

I wish the best for those who, like me, will be in the mess.

If that isn’t bad enough, I have a colonoscopy scheduled for early this week. It may or may not happen, but I’d like to get it behind me, pardon the pun.

May God bless us all.

From the source linked below: For much of his life, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. carried around something peculiar. While most people keep cash, family photos, and credit cards in their wallets, Holder revealed to a reporter in 1996 that he keeps with him an old clipping of a quote from Harlem preacher Reverend Samuel D. Proctor. Holder put the clipping in his wallet in 1971, when he was studying history at Columbia University, and kept it in wallet after wallet over the ensuing decades.

What were Proctor’s words that Holder found so compelling?

“Blackness is another issue entirely apart from class in America. No matter how affluent, educated and mobile [a black person] becomes, his race defines him more particularly than anything else. Black people have a common cause that requires attending to, and this cause does not allow for the rigid class separation that is the luxury of American whites. There is a sense in which every black man is as far from liberation as the weakest one if his weakness is attributable to racial injustice.”

When asked to explain the passage, Holder replied, “It really says that … I am not the tall U.S. attorney, I am not the thin United States attorney. I am the black United States attorney.

Ending The Climate Scam At The USA Hating UN

Trump withdraws US from key climate treaty citing UN’s ‘hostile agendas’ to USA

To start off – ‘A day of liberation!’: Pres. Trump tears up 1992 UN Rio climate treaty that started the whole UN climate scam!

Trump cut funding to the UN from $17 Billion to $2 Billion. They don’t deserve $2 from us. We have to sit and listen to them trash the USA, while dining on steak, lobster and champagne paid for by US taxpayers. The cabinet spots are held by representatives from despotic or terrorist countries. Yes, the same ones chanting death to the USA and Israel and that the USA is the Great Satan.

The UN Climate Scam is a slush fund for a problem they can’t solve with every penny from every citizen of the world, yet they continue to perpetrate this hoax because it is a bank for them to live large, while the middle class struggles from paycheck to paycheck.

Sure, it started with Al Gore’s lies about Florida being underwater by now and the Artic being ice-free, but has been co-opted by the UN because enough undereducated people have bought into it.

Now This:

Our long national nightmare of UN bureaucracies exploiting global warming as pretext for forever-increasing taxation, spending, redistribution, and control over Americans is winding down at last.

On January 7, President Trump issued a presidential order withdrawing the U.S. from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). America is also breaking free from a stinking pile of bureaucracies determined to be wasteful, ineffective, and harmful international organizations by the U.S. Department of State.

CFACT has been there for the entire wild ride. CFACT was there when the beast was born in 1992 at the UN’s Rio Earth Summit. We were there in 1997 when the UN adopted the Kyoto Protocol. We were there in 2009 for COP15 in Copenhagen, where the UN threw in everything it had, yet failed. CFACT was there in 2015 when Obama dropped America’s defenses and dragged us into the UN’s disastrous Paris Climate Agreement.

CFACT served as your eyes, ears, and voice at the most severe climate policy flashpoints and the seemingly interminable UN climate conferences in between and since.

For over three decades, CFACT has worked tirelessly to debunk climate exaggerations on everything from weather to sea level to polar bears. (The polar bears, by the way, took no notice of the scare, feasted on fish and seals, and thrived the entire time.)

CFACT laid out the cold hard facts on climate “solutions” such as intermittent, inefficient wind turbines, solar panels, and short-range electric vehicles that solved nothing, while enriching a well-connected few.

When climate computer models projected a warmer planet than real-world measurements revealed, CFACT called them on it and made sure you knew.

Never again dare we permit ruinously expensive public policy be made while evading genuine, clear-eyed cost-benefit analysis.

Marc Morano, editor of CFACT’s Climate Depot, said that President Trump “unleashed a long overdue POLITICAL CLIMATE EARTHQUAKE, by formally withdrawing the USA from the UN climate scam! Our long national nightmare began 36 years ago when President George H.W. Bush got the USA into this whole UN climate mess by signing the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, aka, the Rio Earth Summit treaty. This treaty has served as the underlying basis for all of the climate nonsense foisted on the U.S. these many years.”

Marc compared Trump’s withdrawals on Fox and Friends to Jenga blocks. “Trump has pulled out the base of the blocks, and it’s collapsing,” moving the U.S. beyond climate policy “yin-yang.”

Team Climate, as you may have surmised, is apoplectic:

  • “By withdrawing from the IPCC, UNFCCC, and the other vital international partnerships, the Trump Administration is undoing decades of hard-won diplomacy, attempting to undermine climate science, and sowing distrust around the world.” –  Al Gore
  • “This is a colossal own goal for the United States. It will hurt their economy and their citizens. The science is clear: Climate change is a threat multiplier that affects every aspect of society, from health to security to prosperity.” – Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of UNFCCC.
  • “As they take a machete to international laws, Trump’s withdrawal from dozens of conventions, treaties, & organizations should surprise no one. It’s a direct assault on global climate action.” – Friends of the Earth
  • “The U.S. will miss out on the global clean energy boom, costing jobs and economic growth.” – Ani Dasgupta, World Resources Institute CEO.
  • “Letting this lawless move stand could shut the U.S. out of climate diplomacy forever.” – Jean Su, Center for Biological Diversity
  • “This withdrawal from the UNFCCC and other bodies is a betrayal of future generations. President Trump claims these organizations promote ‘radical climate policies,’ but they’re essential for survival.” – 350
  • “The United States’ withdrawal from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will harm decades of progress on the climate crisis, threaten American jobs, and reduce economic opportunities as other countries increasingly look elsewhere for clean energy technologies and climate solutions.” – National Wildlife Federation

Nothing could be a greater tell of the true nature of the feckless, shameless climate campaign than that domestic and international Socialists adopted it as their own. The hard-Left crowd has never been right about anything, yet the harm they have done over the years can be measured in abandoned freedoms, squandered prosperity, human suffering, and countless lost lives.

Let us never again let anyone near the levers of power who expects us to believe that Marxist control of the means of production is an effective means for fine-tuning the thermostat of the Earth.

Though this is a momentous day, don’t expect Team Climate to graciously accept defeat and depart the field.

The media is not through amplifying the extreme pronouncements of global warming pressure groups without vetting.

The climate Left is already lying in wait for the chance to reverse President Trump’s reforms.

However, it took a two-thirds vote of the U.S. Senate to ratify America’s membership in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. It only took a bold presidential action to withdraw. A future president will need a fresh two-thirds vote to drag America back in. That is a tall order indeed.

12 Reasons to Celebrate Introverts on World Introvert Day (Jan. 2)

Why We Should Celebrate Introverts By Jenn Granneman

1. Introverts really know their stuff.

I have an introverted friend who is basically a walking encyclopedia of Celtic myth. For example, if you ask him about the hero Cú Chulainn, he can not only tell you how he died, but also what kind of chariot he drove around in. Listening to him talk, I’ve found myself thinking, “Wow, he really knows his stuff!”

That’s because many introverts love learning and adding to their vast stores of specialized knowledge. It’s no surprise they often become experts in their field.

2. Introverts are problem-solvers and idea generators.

Introverts tend to gravitate toward working alone. Rather than chatting in the break room, we’re often the ones sitting at our desks, quietly turning ideas over and over in our minds. And there’s a big benefit to this. When you’re with other people, your brain is forced to multitask. Even if you’re not talking with someone, part of your attention is occupied just by their mere presence, research suggests.

When you’re alone, you can clear your mind and focus your thoughts. All this deep, concentrated thinking can lead to novel solutions and brilliant ideas. Working alone can even lead to more ideas. “Decades of research have consistently shown that brainstorming groups think of far fewer ideas than the same number of people who work alone and later pool their ideas,” according to psychologist Keith Sawyer.

So forget the brainstorming group. Take a cue from introverts and spend some time in solitude.

3. Give up? Not yet.

Speaking of problem-solving, introverts tend to stick with problems longer — well past when everyone else has moved on to another topic or gone home for the day. Albert Einstein, the world-renowned physicist who developed the theory of relativity, was probably an introvert. He said, “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”

4. Introverts make better team players than extroverts over the long run.

Corinne Bendersky and her colleagues found that while extroverts make great first impressions, they may disappoint us over time when they’re part of a team. Their “value and reputation at work diminish over time,” explains Bendersky. “On a team, you’re expected to work hard and contribute a lot. But they’re often poor listeners, and they don’t collaborate.”

Ouch.

Introverts, on the other hand, may work harder on a team because they tend to be conscientious; they don’t want to be seen as not pulling their weight. So, while companies may initially be attracted to extroverts, bosses should remember that introverts pack a powerful (yet understated) punch.

5. Introverts are capable of incredible depth and intimacy in their relationships.

We “quiet ones” have a penchant for quality, one-on-one time and deep conversations. Instead of talking about the weather or what you did this weekend, we want to peek into your inner world. What have you learned lately? How are your ideas evolving? How are you really? When you have an introvert in your life, you may experience emotional intimacy like never before.

6. Introverts know the power of words.

As the nickname suggests, we “quiet ones” tend to listen more than we talk and think carefully before we speak. We try to choose our words thoughtfully because we understand that once said, words can’t be retracted or easily forgotten.

7. Introverts are low maintenance.

You can leave an introvert alone for hours (or even days!), and we’ll be content to do our own thing. No need to constantly text us, check in on us, or “babysit” us.

Why? Because introverts tend to be self-starters, and many of us are drawn to working quietly and steadily on our own. In fact, you’ll probably only hear from us if we have a problem we can’t fix (and believe me, we’ve tried solving it a dozen times before coming to you). Similarly, we don’t need constant praise, gold stars, and shoutouts in the company newsletter (although sure, those things are appreciated). If we’re working hard, we’re likely drawing motivation from within.

8. Introverts can be the calm in the center of the storm.

Reserved and often self-contained, introverts are known for exuding calm — even when there’s a storm raging inside us. We’re often the ones quietly creating an action plan while everyone else is stressing over the company’s latest policy change. And in this way, our methodical approach to chaos benefits everyone.

9. Introverts “get” you.

Although it may seem counterintuitive, solitude can actually help you connect better with others. Why? Because spending time alone — which introverts love — may enhance our empathy, especially for people outside our typical social group, according to research. Being alone often involves reflecting on our actions, beliefs, and experiences, which helps us develop a deeper understanding and stronger empathy for others.

10. Introverts look before they leap.

Compared to extroverts, introverts generally prefer a slower, more deliberate pace of life, and this difference stems from the way our brains are wired. Many of us hate rushing into things; whenever possible, we take time to consider all potential outcomes before making a decision. This applies to our careers, personal lives, and relationships.

For example, one study found that extroverts may jump into a new relationship more quickly than introverts. An Katrien Sodermans and her colleagues revealed that divorced extroverts were more likely than divorced introverts to remarry quickly. While this isn’t always the case, hastily made decisions — such as committing to a new relationship before fully healing from the last one — can sometimes lead to regret later on.

11. Introverts create worlds inside their heads — and help create the world we live in.

Introverts are artists, actors, musicians, entertainers, writers, and more. Famous creative introverts include Lady Gaga (she has said, “I generally really keep to myself and I am focused on my music.”), Bob Dylan, Meryl Streep, Lorde, Audrey Hepburn, and more. David Bowie is also thought to have been an introvert; experts believe he coped with his anxiety and introverted nature by developing various stage personas. Even the “King of Rock and Roll,” Elvis Presley, was described by his friends as a “loner” and “introverted.”

There are so many famous creative introverts that it’s impossible to name them all here! Just a few more examples include Steven Spielberg, Shonda Rhimes, David Letterman, Harrison Ford, Gwyneth Paltrow, Elton John, Emma Watson, and Tom Hanks… the list could go on.

12. Who runs the world? Introverts.

When we think of leadership, especially in the corporate world, words like “bold,” “overconfident,” and “selfish” may come to mind. But there’s a different kind of leader emerging: the quiet one. Today, about 40 percent of executives describe themselves as introverts, including Microsoft’s Bill Gates.

Gates believes that introverts can make great leaders because they know the value of being alone and focusing deeply. Speaking at an event in 2013, he said, “I think introverts can do quite well. If you’re clever you can learn to get the benefits of being an introvert, which might be, say, being willing to go off for a few days and think about a tough problem, read everything you can, push yourself very hard to think out on the edge of that area.”

Other introverted leaders include Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr., Barack Obama, Jill Biden, Eleanor Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln — and many others — as well as many of our greatest U.S. presidents.

Yes, introverts may be the quiet ones who eat lunch alone. They may also be the ones curled up at home with a good book, avoiding the party. But introverts are so much more than that. They are artists, visionaries, and leaders who bring quiet strength and understand the power of the inner journey.

Today — and every day — they deserve to be celebrated.

Source

So everyone celebrate together, separately, and alone. I disagree that Jill Biden and Barack Obama were leaders. They were power hungry people who shouldn’t be celebrated.

My Take On Emoji’s

I’ve written about this before, but it’s worth the effort to repeat myself.

I hate emojis and refuse to use them. Not only is it a waste of time after you’ve already typed what you’re going to say, but they are just clutter. Oh, they think they are clever, but those of us with a mind think otherwise.

Most of all, I think they are childish or for girls. I lose respect for any guy who sends me one. I refuse to send them back. I don’t even know if anyone has noticed it from me, but then I don’t care. At least my son won’t use them either. I didn’t even have to say anything.

It’s like wearing makeup or girls playing with dolls. It covers up something or tries to make it look better, but not to me.

Worst of all is an emoji for an answer without any words. I roll my eyes.

I guess some people think it’s cute, or that I’m a grumpy old man, but I also don’t have a lot of time left, and I’m not going to waste it on something I just said in words.

Oh, and a repeat emoji is the worst. I got it the first time. It’s like typing in CAPS, IT IS ANNOYING.

New Year’s Resolution Farce

It seems that the majority start out the year with some new life changing commitment (or last year’s rehashed that didn’t get done, so they’re going to make it this year). This is going to sound a bit negative, but I’m just calling a spade a spade. I’ve been around long enough to see the pattern of how this works.

I wrote about how quickly people abandon their resolutions a while back. It tells me just how committed people really are, or are they just giving lip service to fit in with the crowd?

Well, here are 5 Of The Worst New Year’s Resolutions And Why They Are Destined To Fail.

Oh, I see them crowding the gym in January. By March and sometimes February, it’s back to normal. They get in the way, and I can look at them and know who’s going to make it or not in January. Oh, they have on their new gym suit and sneakers, but that will be in the back of the closet in weeks.

This goes along with losing weight. With GLP-1 shots and pills now, it’s easier to be the Jetsons and take a pill rather than put in the work.

I’ve got news for you. It will come back to haunt you after 50. You can’t get youth back. You have to fight off health issues your whole life. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. It’s hard work that takes tenacity.

The same goes for eating healthier. It’s hard to do. You have to make your own meal to know what is in it. I’ve noticed the trend of having food delivered from a restaurant. They make it tasty, but as unhealthy as you’d imagine. People take the path of least resistance, so they stop making their own food and start ordering pretty quickly, or go out to eat. You pay more to be less healthy.

I don’t have a lot to say about the travel. It sucks worse each year. I try not to fly anymore because the whole experience isn’t worth it. There isn’t much I have to see, either people or places that would make me want to suffer the current airline experience. They cram more people into smaller seats, making fewer arrivals/departures on time. The planes are dirty and are alarmingly less reliable.

What I will say is people get over hyped about escaping, more than they really want to go somewhere new. The introvert in me doesn’t make me want to visit anyone, but that’s me. If they are in driving distance, I’ll consider the minimal time I have to suffer seeing them.

Learning a new skill? That probably lasts shorter than going to the gym. I bet DuoLingo has a ton of new accounts next week that get abandoned shortly because it’s hard work to learn a new language.

Passion

To commit to anything, you have to have a passion for it. Otherwise, you’ll go through the motions until you’re bored. Then, it gets shelved. It’s a pattern I’ve noticed my whole life, not just with this, but at work, at home or any other activity that sounds good. I love it when they do something because everyone is doing it, possibly the worst reason anyone should try anything. Do it because you want to and you have a better chance of making it.

Maybe some will get scared into better health because of a near death experience. Even then, a lot won’t. It has to come from within. I have a brother-in-law and a son-in-law who both have life-threatening conditions. They eat and drink like there is no tomorrow.

Commitment

Pretty soon, I see the same people at the gym that I saw in November and December. They are the ones who really are going to stick with it. A New Year’s Commitment is as good as a wooden nickel. If you are there in August, I’ll believe you’ll be there in February.

The fat people I see either at Walmart or my family’s get-togethers need to put down the fork and the wine glass, not take a shot. Their health is falling apart because of the life decisions they made 30 years ago.

That means they failed 30 times on New Year’s Resolutions.

It’s why I call BS on this tradition. If you are really committed, you’ll already be doing it.

As for me, I’m not doing anything other than staying committed to being healthy and working out. I’m not getting any younger and even healthy habits won’t stave off the inevitable. I can prolong it, but I’ll be in better shape to enjoy it.

So what are your New Year’s resolutions? Let me know if you make it to the summer.

Oh and PS, please don’t get a pet. That isn’t a resolution. It’s a 10-15 year commitment to an animal’s life, not your convenience or TikTok account. If you aren’t really going to love it above yourself, just don’t do it.

Are you a good judge of character?

Are you a good judge of character?

I’m an introvert. I read body language better than most people because I’m not talking. I’m listening and observing. I’m rarely trying to impress anyone, so I’m usually sizing them up as to their intentions towards me.

I’ve had people do me favors and fuck me over. I’ve studied martial arts for years and had to anticipate my opponent’s intentions.

Working for years for both the best and the worst has taught me to read people. Here’s how I dealt with Executive Egos

Most of all, I’ve been married for decades and have kids. I’ve never been more surprised by that than anything.

So yes, I’m a good judge of character because I’m patient and won’t jump to conclusions.

Once I’ve decided who you are, though, it’s hard to move me off of that position, especially if I think you are an asshole. This includes family. I can spot a fake like a Jedi.

Man Puts The ‘Dealer’ In ‘Car Dealer,’ Gets 40 Years For Selling Weed

One Virginia man was just sentenced to 40 years in prison after he was caught selling weed out of a luxury used car dealership in the city of Newport News, the Virginian-Pilot reports. Can’t have anyone selling a product that’s legal to possess, right?

Yannow, Eric Swallwell is running for Governor of California. He’s just a douchebag and doesn’t even qualify for AOTW. He’s better qualified for Benedict Arnold 2.0

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) jumped into the California governor’s race.

This guy is one of the most insufferable persons in Congress. He tried to run for president and went nowhere. He seems to think he’s way more important than he genuinely is.

Delusions of grandeur.

Swallwell made the announcement on Jimmy Kimmel’s show because of course.

But Swalwell’s announcement video lists two jobs facing the next California governor.

Good luck with that one. He’s just a piss ant, though.

A long-time asshole is Debbie Blabbermouth Wasserman-Schultz. It figures a Liberal white woman would spew such nonsense, yet here we are.

The Democrat Party has taken a break from comparing President Donald Trump to Adof Hitler to warn that the president is a larger threat to the United States than Islamic jihad.

The hysterical remarks came during a Tuesday appearance on NewsNation’s “On Balance,” where host Leland Vittert asked Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) whether Islamophobia or jihad posed the larger threat to American life and values, following the recent terror attack targeting Jews at Bondi Beach that killed 15 people and wounded dozens more.

“I think we have to focus, quite frankly, on, if we’re worried about the threat to American values, on the person who’s in the White House. I mean, we have a president,” Schultz, who is Jewish, said. “Yeah, I’m going there because we have a president who has completely undermined our democracy.”

The link to the spew from her is below, but it’s such nonsense that you could just take my word for it. I read it and thought, what an asshole.

5 Survival Tips For Introverts Attending Large Events (plus my bonus)

5 Survival Tips for Introverts Attending Big, Crowded Events

ByEllie Matama December 19, 2025

An introvert walks through a crowded event

Big events or parties can become overwhelming for us introverts, so look for little ways to maintain your energy.

I have no problem socializing with my family or close friends. I am comfortable doing so because I have known them for a long time, and I interact with them just a few at a time. There’s no having-to-get-to-know-you period.

But it’s an entirely different matter to attend big, crowded gatherings where almost everyone is a stranger (hello, holiday parties or awkward job-related networking events). Sure, for a short amount of time, I can make small talk. Of course, I need to recharge my energy afterward.

Yet, in everyday life, social interactions are required. The good news is there are plenty of things you can do to maintain your energy as an introvert when you have to attend a crowded event. 

How Introverts Can Survive Crowded Events

1. Arrive early so you can pick the best spot.

One study found that about 20 percent of employees regularly arrive late to work. If you are an introvert, you can’t afford to be late for an event because people will notice your tardiness (hello, suddenly being the center of attention!). In addition, you may have to engage in unnecessary awkward interactions as you make your way to an available seat. Plus, you may have to explain your lateness later, which will further drain whatever energy you have left.

So arrive early and be prepared to stay for a while. When you arrive early, you can choose the best seat or standing spot for your needs. That way, you can still be alone among the crowd.

For example, find a seat or table on the fringes or near the back, which will enable you to move freely without having to ask people to move whenever you need to get out (i.e., escape to the bathroom). You could also choose a spot near the exit for the same purpose. 

2. Go with a “human shield,” a.k.a. your favorite extrovert or outgoing introvert.

As an introvert, you may find it challenging to interact with many people at once. But some people you know may actually like doing so. Your family members, friends, or your significant other may be more outgoing — and they may thrive in crowded situations. See if they’re willing to go to the event with you. This will enable you to talk less, since they will happily do most of the talking for you.

Or, you can go to the event with a colleague who enjoys socializing. There’s no shame in using them as a “human shield” while representing your company or department. While they schmooze with everyone, you can thoughtfully listen and pick up points for discussion later on (i.e., at the next company meeting).  

And, speaking of talking less…

3. Embrace your listening skills.

Remember: As an introvert, listening is one of your superpowers. We speak about 125 to 175 words a minute, but we’re able to listen to about 450 words a minute. Therefore, you’ll learn more by listening than by talking a lot. Also, when you aren’t talking, you can pay more attention to people’s body language, which can offer more information about their state of mind than what they actually say.

Plus, people feel understood and cared for when someone listens to them. So you may make a great first impression just by listening!

Once you’ve absorbed everything they’ve said, take the time to process it before adding your thoughts. That way, you’ll have something valuable to say based on all your gathered information.

Want to feel more at ease in social situations?

Discover the secrets to enjoying fun, meaningful conversations. Know exactly what to say — even if you’re introverted, shy, or socially anxious. Feel less drained and have more energy while socializing.

4. Look for small groups talking about topics you care about.

Even at the most crowded events, small groups tend to form because people with similar interests gravitate toward one another. That’s great news for introverts, as you’ll feel more at home if the topic is one you’re passionate about. Even if the group is talking about something similar to a topic you want to bring up, now’s your chance to change the subject to that one instead. And, when interacting in a small group, you won’t get socially burned out as quickly.

5. Block out the noise.

As an introvert, there may be times when you can’t take all the noise, small talk, or all the people anymore. But you also can’t leave the event… yet. In that case, you need a way to block out the noise.

You can do this in many ways: Listen to music or an audiobook (or just put on your earbuds to make it look like you’re listening to something or on a call; they’ll still help tune out some of the noise!); make an actual call; or excuse yourself to “step outside for a moment.” If you’re worried that these things will make you seem aloof or antisocial, remember that most people aren’t looking at you, anyway, and won’t even notice.

Yes, I know, having to attend crowded events and make small talk can be a nightmare for introverts. However, the more prepared you are, the more you’ll preserve your energy.

I’m always the same, so if I’m not nice to you, look in the mirror to understand why.

They say in 3 generations, no one remembers you anyway, so who cares what they say about me?

So in conclusion, it’s not important to me what people say about me. I gave up caring about that in high school.

AOTW

Despite the lowest gas prices in years, the trade deficit is down, narcotics that kill millions of Americans are being stopped at sea, and crime is being addressed in the major cities (unless a mayor rejects it), there are some assholes still in Congress.

A runner-up award goes to Governor Pritzker in Illinois, a city known for its crime and murder rates. He refused help from Trump to clean up the mess that Chicago has been for decades. It’s as if he’s against helping the regular people, but then he’s a fat assed billionaire who doesn’t give a shit about anything but power.

Not to be outdone though, is this week’s winner, Al Green. He made an ass of himself getting thrown out of the State of the Union speech, and like Pritkzker, he’s only after making noise instead of helping his constituents.

He filed a bill for the impeachment of Trump, whose only real basis was that Al is an asshole. Dutifully, Congress, from both sides, shot it down. Even the democrats who publicly criticize Trump wouldn’t go for this.

So instead of trying to help Americans, he winds up being the Asshole of the week.

Kids Games When We Used To Play Outside, Red Rover, Smear The Queer

Last night, the left lost their minds when Bijan Robinsin commented on his play as it related to a game we played as kids. He called it smear the queer, but we knew it as kill the man with the ball. He had to walk it back, but I know he didn’t mean it.

If you grew up before video games and actually played outside without a helmet, it was great fun. If you don’t know it, look it up. It will be a good education for you on why our generation tried harder at most things. The struggle was real, like real life, everyone against you.

Another good game was Red Rover. It’s where you line up kids in 2 groups, holding each other by the arms, and pick someone from the other side to run and try to break the hold. Red rover, red rover, send x (next victim) on over. In reality, it was a way to clothesline a kid from the other side, also great fun.

We also played war, kick the can, and baseball, where a parked car served as 3rd base. The game would stop for a while if a car came through, but there weren’t as many back then.

And then there is dodgeball. That’s where you’d hit the girls and the fat kids first. Nothing beats a good shot to the face though. That’s the real score

If you didn’t have a ball, there was kick the can.

Sometimes it was stickball. Kids from NY know that one well.

Life was easier back then, and we didn’t need a Switch or Xbox to play video games. Our moms kicked us out of the house, and we made stuff up.

If there were not enough other kids, you could climb a tree or throw something for the dog to chase. I grew up in an old tangerine farm so that is what we had, way before tennis balls were dog toys.

We moved on to paper football

Oh, to be young again.

Name your top three pet peeves.

Name your top three pet peeves.

Unless you are new here, you know I’m an introvert. That puts small talk at the top of the list. It’s usually meaningless and content free. It’s irritating to listen to. Talk to me about something deep that stirs my intelligence and/or emotions, or has great content, then I’ll want to engage.

Next, big crowds. I usually avoid it unless it’s impossible. Sometimes a small crowd is big if they are people I don’t want to be around (like family gatherings).

I look for the first excuse to not go, or leave early if I have to. If I’m stuck in an auditorium, I’m by the exit so I can leave.

Finally, internet arguments. You can be the top expert in a field, write a thoughtful piece that is fully documented with facts, and the first comment is: bullshit. You can say almost anything, and people will find a way to argue about it. See a few posts below on commenting.

\

Regarding Commenting

First of all, I love the comments. Some of you guys are very interesting and funny. I write to different groups, including introverts, the intelligentsia, political individuals, car people, and others. I’m getting to know you all more closely from the stuff you write.

I even connected with one reader who knew Denny from Grouchy Old Cripple, but neither of us knew it until I started AOTW in Denny’s honor.

I wrote about Stupid Things Smart People Do a long time ago. One of them is arguing on the internet.

I’m likely to post about anything these days. A lot of posts get tumbleweeds for comments. I think I’m all clever, and then crickets.

Occasionally, I’ll be content-free in my head and post something meaningless, and it’s a barrage of comments, like What’s it like to have an extremely high IQ.

Once in a while, I get off the wall comments that are out of left field. I saw this meme and thought about it.

I can write some offensive stuff and know it. Hell, I do it on purpose sometimes. I don’t care if you disagree with me, but keep it civil when you write back. My favorite are people who outthink me and write clever stuff.

I also ask questions that are set up by WordPress and answer them as honestly as I can. I love it when people answer them also (Bocopro is a great writer)

I have it set up to approve all comments, and if it gets too out of hand, I’m not going to let it on the page. It just starts a fight I don’t want to see happen and piss off others. If it’s spicy and will start a discussion, I’ll let it go. I also am not going to let people post their blogs that have nothing to do with my post. They have their own blog, and I read it there.

All I ask is that you be civil. I know that the people on the left hate my ass by now, but I don’t care. They aren’t smart and write childish things. I brush that off and move along, which is what they should have done to begin with.

So keep up the commentary. Many of you are better writers than I am. I enjoy reading your stuff.

23 Little Things Introverts Are Thankful for Anytime of the Year

“Waking up early or staying up late, when no one else is around. Peace. Silence. Bliss.”

Turkey. Pumpkin pie. Awkwardly chatting with Great Aunt Gladys. If you live in the U.S., you’re probably celebrating Thanksgiving. Inevitably, at some point, you’ll be asked to name something you’re thankful for. With that spirit in mind, here are 23 things introverts are generally thankful for — anytime of the year. What would you add to this list?

1. Coming home and finding the house unexpectedly empty. There’s nothing better than sneaking in a few hours (or even minutes) of unexpected solitude. Time to relax. Time to decompress. No obligatory, “How was your day?” Just space and freedom to be yourself. Ahhhh…

2. When your friend cancels on you at the last minute, and you kind of wanted to stay home anyway. This is just like #1: unexpected solitude.

3. Getting a Saturday afternoon to yourself. Perhaps even better than a few moments of unexpected solitude is knowing that you have hours and hours of alone time ahead of you.

4. Finding out that the party/event/meeting is ending earlier than you thought. Sure, introverts can socialize and even be leaders in the workplace. But for many of us, those things don’t come naturally. “Peopling” is a skill we’ve had to learn — kind of like learning a foreign language. And we all know how mentally exhausting it can be to speak a language you’re not entirely comfortable with. Any time spent away from the group (and in our natural inward “habitat”) is something we’re thankful for.

5. Discovering a good book that you can’t put down. Books (along with movies, music, and art) transport introverts to the place we love the most: the energizing world of ideas and imagination.

6. Having a meaningful conversation. How are you a different person today than you were five years ago? What’s on your mind lately? Do aliens exist? In our fast-paced society that values polite chitchat over substance, deep conversations don’t happen often. Yet it’s these meaningful interactions that nourish introverts and provide us with an antidote to social burnout. Something to be thankful for, indeed.

7. Meeting a fellow introvert who “gets” it. Or an extrovert who “gets” it by respecting your need for space and solitude. Feeling understood by another human being is about as magical as it gets.

8. When there’s a dog or cat at the party. Saved! (From small talk with humans, that is.)

9. Headphones. Pop on a pair when you’re in a public space — like a bus, airplane, coffee shop, or at your desk — and you signal to others that you’re not in the mood to chat. Hallelujah!

10. Arriving on your own to a party so you can leave whenever you want. For introverts, hell is being trapped somewhere surrounded by noise and people. Having an escape mechanism is key.

11. When someone says, “How are you?” and really means it. See #6.

12. When you don’t have to make awkward small talk. For some reason, people find silence awkward. So we strike up conversations about the weather with strangers in elevators. Or we erupt with a cheery, “How’s it going?” when we pass someone we barely know in the hallway at work. When introverts can get through the day with minimal chitchat, we’re thankful.

13. Waking up early or staying up late, when no one else is around. Peace. Silence. Bliss.

14. Downtime after a busy day. Socializing isn’t the only thing that drains introverts. Any kind of incoming stimulation, such as noise, time pressure, or activity, gets tiring. After a busy day, when we don’t have to do one more thing, we’re thankful.

15. A weekend with no social plans. But that doesn’t mean we won’t be doing anything. We’ll make our own plans. Introvert plans. Plans to read in bed. To binge watch our favorite show. To lounge around the house.

16. Self-checkout lanes, drive-throughs, food delivery, and online shopping. No, introverts don’t hate people. But we do try to minimize our “people” intake, because each interaction drains our limited social energy — especially the kind of surface-level interactions that usually take place in restaurants and stores.

17. Having to go to a store but unexpectedly finding it not busy. If you can’t do #16, this is the next best thing.

18. Time to think before responding. Many introverts struggle with word retrieval, because our brains may rely more on long-term memory than short-term memory (extroverts do the opposite). For this reason, we may have a hard time putting our thoughts into words, especially when we’re put on the spot in a meeting, on a first date, or when called on in class. We’re thankful for people who give us a few pressure-free moments to collect our thoughts before demanding an answer.

19. Texting. Similar to #18, introverts tend to feel more comfortable expressing themselves in writing than speaking. That’s because writing uses different pathways in the brain, which seem to flow more fluently for introverts. We’re thankful for every time we can send a text message instead of making a phone call.

20. Public spaces that are actually quiet. When parks, restaurants, coffee shops, bars, buses, and trains are chill, we’re thankful.

21. When you get to do your thing, uninterrupted. Alone time isn’t just about being alone. For many introverts, it’s a way to reconnect with our passions, hobbies, and artistic pursuits. It’s when we do deep, concentrated work. When our alone time is fragmented by other obligations (or interruptions from loved ones), introverts can get stressed. A long stretch of unbroken time to do our thing is something we’re immensely thankful for.

22. Your favorite beverage, a cozy blanket, and your favorite show. Alone.

23. “Me” time. Doing whatever relaxes you, energizes you, and brings you joy.

Study Finds Tattoo Ink Accumulates In Lymph Nodes

I could have put this in a Different Headlines post if it weren’t for the fact that it is a red flag for men.

I’ll get to the science of the matter in a minute, but if a girl has tats, multiple piercings, dyed hair in an unnatural color (pink, red, green, blue, purple, etc.), these are your red flags about how crazy she is, and how far you should stay away from her.

She’ll say a tramp stamp is a rite of passage, like a belly button piercing, but that is just a place to hang the air freshener.

They do say that the best sex is with the craziest bitches, which I’ll attest to, but leave as soon as it’s over and don’t get into a relationship.

Now, for the article:

A new study shows tattoo ink drains into the lymphatic system and accumulates in lymph nodes, diminishing the effects of immune cells. This accumulation of ink pigment triggers both local and systemic inflammation that persists for months.

A third of American adults, roughly 32% – or about 80 million people – have tattoos, and they should read this new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS).

“Despite safety concerns regarding the toxicity of tattoo ink, no studies have reported the consequences of tattooing on the immune response. In this work, we have characterized the transport and accumulation of different tattoo inks in the lymphatic system using a murine model,” researcher Arianna Capucetti wrote in the study.

Capucetti continued:

Upon quick lymphatic drainage, we observed that macrophages mainly capture the ink in the lymph node (LN).

An initial inflammatory reaction at local and systemic levels follows ink capture. Notably, the inflammatory process is maintained over time, as we observed clear signs of inflammation in the draining LN 2 mo following tattooing. In addition, the capture of ink by macrophages was associated with the induction of apoptosis in both human and murine models. Furthermore, the ink accumulated in the LN altered the immune response against two different types of vaccines.

On the one hand, we observed a reduced antibody response following vaccination with a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine, which was associated with a decreased expression of the spike protein in macrophages in the draining LN.

In contrast, we observed an enhanced response when vaccinated with influenza vaccine inactivated by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Considering the unstoppable trend of tattooing in the population, our results are crucial in informing the toxicology programs, policymakers, and the general public regarding the potential risk of the tattooing practice associated with an altered immune response.

As we noted earlier this year, “Many tattoo inks contain chemicals that have been classified as carcinogenic — or cancer-causing — by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.”

While black tattoo inks use carbon black, colored inks contain pigments designed for industrial applications such as plastics and paints. More troubling, tattoo inks are far less regulated than pharmaceuticals.

We have already covered two important studies:

  • A 2024 Swedish study tracking nearly 12,000 people found that individuals with tattoos had a 21% higher risk of malignant lymphoma compared with those without ink.
  • A Danish twin study published earlier this year reported similar trends. Tattooed participants showed higher rates of skin cancer.

Dr. Trisha Khanna, dermatologist and medical advisory board member at Codex Labs, recently told The Epoch Times, “Current regulations on tattoo ink ingredients are not sufficient,” adding, “This is a growing concern among dermatologists.”

And laser removal could make it worse.

Introvert Thanksgiving Nightmare

Introverts hate being put on the spot, icebreakers, and networking events. My Brother in law (who I nicknamed Flounder from Animal House) did this to me on one of the 2 worst Thanksgivings I’ve had. He was at the other one also. I mumbled some answer when I should have just passed and felt awkward the whole meal.
