On the “Go
Woke Go Broke” Front Disney’s iconic brands are in a losing value crisis as
Disney’s movies and parks seem to have ventured into the political woke world
big time as its recent SEC filling alludes to: “we face risks relating to
misalignment with public and consumer tastes and preferences for entertainment,
travel and consumer products.” Evidently not stated but should become blatantly
apparent that admission to a Disney park for a family out is more like having
to take out a mortgage rather than enjoying a family friendly outing.
On
Biden’s gaffe front it would appear the proclivity to gaffes has transcended
Biden’s failing cognitive state to members of his cabinet as the Peter
Principle Poster Child Education Secretary Miguel Cardona touted at the Western
Governors Association Boondoggle at Jackson Hole, “As, I think it was President
Reagan said, ‘We’re from the government. We're here to help.’” What
Reagan said was,“ The nine most terrifying words in the English language are:
I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.” The quote was
to highlight the inherent inefficiency in government that creates more problems
than it solves.
On the growing antisemitism font,
the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers Local 59 facing intense backlash for its
resolution calling for a repeal of anti-Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions legislation
on the grounds it interferes with the free speech rights of Palestinian parent
and is holding a closed member meeting on how the perceived are threatening
Jewish families and students.
On the destruction of faith
in our military due in part to its woke mandates, it what is really outrageous
news if there is any shred of human trafficking in federal schools run by the
military, in sting operation operated in
Georgia by the Coweta County Sheriff’s Department, arrests of 26 people,
including Stephen Hovanic, former chief of staff for the Americas education who
was arrested for soliciting sex.
On the Grinch Front Joe
Biden and Jill Biden win the prize for being the biggest Grinches after denying the existence of a 7th
Grandchild being forced to admit it but instead of adding a 7th
stocking which would be the right thing to do, Scrooge Jill had all the
grandchildren’s stocking removed, so they would not have to face their
self-induced embarrassment of having to welcome her to the White House—what a
pair of small minded creeps.

with Scott Silberman and others at Shop.Org after looking at data showing
growing online sales on the Monday after Thanksgiving created the day first
celebrated on the Monday after Thanksgiving in 2005 and is now the day on which
the largest amount of online sales occur which should come as no surprise after
being bruised and battered on Black Friday and lured into couch mode with the
traces of tryptophan and the plethora of college and pro football what better
way to go gift shopping than to use your fingers on the keyboards to go
shopping without leaving the comfort of one’s house, assuming your credit cards
are not near the max out mode.
Word of the Day: The word
of the day as we continue with words starting with “b” is “blackmaster” which means
an undertaker.

November 27 Historical
Events in Rhyme
1. On this day
in 2020, Iran’s top scientist involved in the development of an atomic bomb for
Iran/Was assassinated by a team of assassins believed to be from Mossad as he
was returning to Tehran/His 3 armored car convoy failed to the assassination
deter/The proof will be in the pudding to see if his death will a long delay in
becoming a nuke power insure.
2. On
this day in 2009 once again/the threat of Jihadist attacks is never a question
of if/But rather a question of knowing when/On a Nevsky Express high speed train
between St. Petersburg and Moscow an explosion would it off the tracks lift/96 would
be injured/and 28 would die/By a second bomb to try to the investigators’ death
or injuries insure/Exploded by remote control but further deaths and injuries denied/
3.
On this day in 1989 in Columbia we learned/An Avianca bird during a drug
cartel war if targeted would crash and burn/Avianca Flight 203 with a bomb
aboard planted by the Medellin Cartel on orders from Pablo Escobar/Who thought
Presidential Candidate César Gaviria Trujillo would be
aboard and would plummet to his death like a flaming star/He was not and worse
for the Medellin Cartel he would go on to win/2 years later Escobar would turn
himself in/In a plea deal he agreed to 5 years/But with no extradition and in a
private cell to be constructed by him where all
of luxuries would appear/Later in 1992 when authorities wanted to
transfer him from the Life of Riley to a standard prison cell/ He escaped not
wanting to endure confinement in a setting beneath the status of the head of
the Medellin Cartel/ He went into hiding as his cartel collapsed/Discovered and
a day after his birthday after a shootout, the Columbian Army National Band was
playing “Taps”.
4. On
this day in 1978 SFO Mayor Moscone and openly gay supervisor Harvey Milk was shot
and killed by Supervisor Dan White/Who dodged a first degree murder conviction
with the “Twinkie Defense” that diminished his capacity to know wrong from
right/Convicted of manslaughter to serve 5 of 7 sentenced years/The murders
launched Diane Feinstein’s mayoral then long term U.S. Senate career/ After
serving a year of parole in L.A,/He returned to SFO to on October 21, 1985 in
his garage allow carbon monoxide to him slay.
5. On this day in 1968, 5’3” Penny Early
broke in the world of athletics the 1st class ceiling/To have the sports world reeling/She
became the first female jockey to be licensed as a parimutuel jockey but when
she tried to race/All the male jockeys at Churchill Downs boycotted her three
races to merit only disgrace/Horse racing is not a question of strength but of weight,
reflexes and with one’s mount being able to bond and anticipate/No wonder the
male jockeys must have felt threatened and refused to in their economic suicide
participate/The second glass ceiling was more of a joke akin the Bill Veeck’s having
3’7” midget Eddie Gaedel lead off to be
walked on 4 pitches and by a pinch runner replaced/Early was signed to a short
term contract by the Kentucky Colonels of the American Basketball Association
to in a game against the Los Angeles Stars to inbound the ball to a player who
called time out as she was subbed out to gain a glass ceiling breaking place.
Frustrated over maintaining her weight she became a trainer in 1974 but trying
for a comeback as a jockey she suffered several injuries and maybe frustrated
that she was too early for the equine sport she adored, committed suicide this
year on June 23, at age 80.
Quotes on the shootings
of Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Milk by Diane Feinstein that several weeks
earlier had indicated she would not run for reelection on the SFO Board of
Supervisors: “As president of the Board of Supervisors, it’s my duty to
make this announcement: Both Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk have been
shot and killed. Look, I couldn’t sit in George Moscone’s chair for seven
years, and some of it, I think, is that I became mayor as a product of
assassination. I had run, and I had not won, and that was a very difficult
thing for me to reconcile in my own mind.”
“I still believe that if I could
have been there for that three weeks, I could have stopped it,” Feinstein said,
her eyes reddening. “Now, who knows? Who knows? ”
