GOD SAVE AMERICA.

Surely some can do a recording of this song parody,


God save America. Save us from Trump.

He’s a liar, a coward

Who treats everyone as a chump.

From his stealing, to his cheating

To his endless acts of sin.

God save America. Don’t let Trump win.

 

God save America. Don’t let Trump win.

He’ll divide us, misguide is.

Tear our country apart with a grin,

He’s a godless, evil demon,

A cruel and heartless gnome.

God save America, my home sweet home.

Most Vet Bills are Great no Small.

 I remember when veterinarians cared about animals. They were always portrayed in dramas like All Creatures Great and Small as capable, warm-hearted  doctors who did their best to cure any creature in pain without asking much of their owners. No more.Today's vets are incredibly expensive  and seem to care more about the dollar than the dog. Suspecting my cat has diabetes I called a traveling vet. Though he is not that far away he quoted $195 just to show up before any charges for care. I quit my old vet when every average visit cost $200 or more. Another vet, who treated a truly beloved cat cost me $1,600 and the cat died anyway under her incompetent care. Greed is everywhere and there's no reason vets shouldn't jump on the bandwagon. But most people can't afford these costly charges, which means that many animals will go undiagnosed, untreated, un-vaccined and generally unseen because regular checkups and treatment are too damned expensive.

Far too much information.

I like standup comics. Very often they say highly trenchant and funny things I admire. But I am not interested in their body functions and sexual activities, which seems to occupy most of today's male and female comics. Call me odd, but diarrhea, constipation, gas etc. are not funny and will amuse only the sickest scatalogical audience members. I also am not interest in their sex lives. I just watched an otherwise funny young woman tell me more than I wanted to know about giving a date a hand job.. Yuck. Sadly because audiences are so stupid, today's comics are terrrified of using too few fucks and shits. I can no longer watch Sarah Silverman since I am still disgusted by her routine about her sister's incontinence. True the audiences seem to be amused but these vulgar disclosures, but I suspect many are also offended and only want to seem cool to the otherwise low brow audience.George Carlin where are you?

AMERICA'S RICHEST LIARS.

 The winners in this category are Quincy Bioscience makers of Prevagen, a product that claims to stimulate the memory despite not having an iota of  proof. Yet they continue to sell this placebo at the outrageous price of $40 plus a month. Aiding them are lots of other liars, the persons in their many commercials who swear they are achieving miraculous results that are unlikely or impossible. These liars encourage naive TV viewers to waste money month after month on these useless pills. Sadly this is a very successful scam considering how many costly commercials are run and how often. I should feel sorry for the gullible customers who buy this snake oil, and end up lying to themselves about non-existent benefits.  Still if one doesn't do a little research, one deserves to be screwed.

The Hypocrisy of Facebook.com


I love it, Facebook.com will have videos showing all kinds of nudity, tons of homoerotica, violent movie scenes, and animals being savagely attacked.But you can make the most innocent of comments, and suddenly you're barred from using the site, or forced, for no good reason, to reset your identity and password. I was so punished for commenting on Randy Rainbow's running for President satire, "I wish it were true. He'd have my vote." Now since I am a Luddite and useless with computers, I have to hire an IT person for $100 to jump through all the hoops Facebook has lined up to get me back in action. As I said before, you cannot speak to anyone to plead your case. Their word is law.Take it or leave it. Since I enjoy the site, I'll pay up, and avoid freedom of speech from now on. 

Kicked off Facebook.com

I love Facebook.com. I use it every day, and make lots of comments, which seem to be appreciated by their customers. But today I watched a Randy Rainbow video in which he comically is running for president. I commented, "I wish it were true. He'd have my vote." Within 15 minutes Google wrote to me calling my comment inappropiate and insisting I change my password, and other things which I didn't understand. Being an 80-year old Luddite, it's too much stress and work, so I must say goodbye to Facebook.com. Sadly Google, like so many companies, does not allow you to speak directly with them so one must accept their unfair dismissal.

TRUIST BANK IS THE WORST!!!!!


If you're thinking of opening an account with Truist Bank, think again. I was stuck with them after they absorbed  Sun Trust, a very friendly, efficient, problem solving, easy to reach bank which Truist is not. In their latest statement I noted a check cashed to me with an unfamiliar name for a large amount. Distressed by this, my goal was to clear up this problem with their fraud division. This proved hopeless as I was on hold for 30 minutes before I gave up. I then called their Customer Service Department. Same thing. Waited and waited and despite a recorded voice saying someone would be with me soon, nobody was. Even if your are at a branch with a question, they take your name and put you on a waiting list and have you wait and wait. I have never dealt with such an incompetent bank and plan to remove all my funds today, which I am sure will be a huge hassle. So be smart. Don't put any money in a Truist bank in the first place, unless of course you're a sucker for punishment.
