President
Biden has signed early today the debt ceiling bill but the Fitch rating service
while maintaining our AAA credit rating is still maintaining a “negative watch”
as quite clearly we have not taken the needed steps to control our increasing
debt before any significant rise in borrowing costs make that task more
problematical. Former Vice Chair of Target claims the tuck friendly wear that
conceals male equipment making it probably easier to enter women’s locker room
or bathrooms by concealing male equipment is cause for boycott. Florida Rep
Maxwell Frost showed America any sense of decorum and decency he has completely
lost at a Paramore concert belting out “F*** De Santis F***Fascism (wonder if
he will have the idiocy to utter those words in the House that prompt censure).
Profit rules and Gay Pride in many places drools as commentators have pointed
out Gay Pride events are found everywhere during Gay Pride Month in places like
U.S. or Canada but nowhere to be found in the Middle East Muslim countries
where being openly gay can result in a toss from a high story building without
a parachute. Once again in the Taiwan Straits the Chines Navy is playing
navigation chicken with U.S. and Canadian warships conducting joint naval
exercises there (Biden must get off the pot and accelerate the shipment of
already paid for advanced fighter aircraft to help Taiwan defend itself and us to
have to not face a real nightmare if China invaded to destroy or capture some
90% of world’s chip making capacity there). Former Obama and Trump W.H. Doctor and now Representative Ronny Jackson is
claiming the W.H. medical staff is guilty of medical malpractice in allowing a
really cognitively impaired Biden to run again. DeepAI founder and
CEO Kevin Baragona
is a rabid prompter of AI but warns it
is a two edged sword capable of bringing great benefit to society but capable
of inflicting great harm and he questions Washington’s commitment to properly
oversee its continued development when VP Harris has been appointed by Biden as
the AI czar. To no one surprise Oklahoma destroyed Tennessee 9-0 and will face
the winner on Monday of the Stanford v. Washington Game to be played on Sunday
at 12:00 P.M. PDT—Go Cardinal!

Noted Holidays: World Club Foot Day: Created by Ponseti
International Association on this day in
2013, on the anniversary of the birth of Doctor Ignacio Ponseti, the creator of the
nonsurgical, low cost Ponseti Method which is usually 100 % effective of curing
club feet in the some 200,000 infants mostly in developing companies that
develop the congenital disorder.
Word of the Day: the word of the day is “anthrophobia”
which means afear of humans which is
fortunate if you are hiking in the woods or camping that most animals have but
in bear country would be advisable for hikers and campers to be armed.
Song of the Day: The number 1 song on this day in 1974 was “The Streak” by Ray Stevens on a run of 3 weeks week to share with 35 other songs achieving number 1 ranking, while 25 acts achieved number one hit status for the first time. Here is a recording of Ray Stevens performing “The Streak”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRdWEpCF5L4 June 3 “The Doctor Is In”: Doctor Jill Biden, former
Second Lady with Biden as VP and now the First Lady with him, was born on this
day in 1951 in Hammonton, New Jersey, the oldest of 5 sisters. She met Biden on
a blind date after her divorce with her first husband and married him on June
17, 1977. She is the first First Lady to have a teaching job at a junior
college lever which she has continued today. It is believed that she has
supported his run for reelection but at his age if he wins and his two cranial
aneurisms many wonder if her major role during his second administration will
be that of Edith Wilson who sheltered and protected Woodrow Wilson from the
public learning the effects of his stroke.
June 3 Historical Events
In Rhyme
1. On this day in 2013 the trial of
transgender U.S. Army private Manning began for leaking classified military information
to Wikileaks/The prosecution claimed Manning aided the enemy and 90 years in
prison they would seek/Manning was convicted and sentenced to 35 year to be
credited with pretrial served/On January 17, 2017 to the ire of Reds, Obama
commuted all but 4 months to bring his time in prison and jail be more like
what he thought Manning deserved.
2. On
this day in 1989 the CCP ordered the PLA to move into Tiananmen Square to
remove protestors who had been there for 8 weeks/Proving by the killing of a
1000 or so it was futile to from the CCP any democratic reforms and freedom
seek.
3. On this day in 1979 a Pemex drilling platform
was drilling 3600 meters beneath the sea floor when it blew/And each day the
amount of oil leaking grew/It took 9 months to stop the ultimate 3 million
barrels oil spill/The only silver lining was that the Ridley Kemp Turtles were
airlifted from their nesting sites before the oil coming their way would kill.
4.
On this day in 1943 white American sailors and Marines in Los Angeles started
attacking Latino teens and young men wearing Zoot suits/With 5 days of attacks
and almost 200 injuries the idea we were a land of racial tolerance the riots
did refute/The only good coming out of this racial mess/Is that no one ended up
in a morgue in funeral suit dress.
5. On this day in 1781 in a little known fact/Jack
Jouett at night began his 40 mile ride to warn Thomas Jefferson and Virginia
legislators of Tarleton’s impending attack/Tarleton was feared for his Tarleton’s
quarter/Where those surrendering would see their life soon shorter/But for
Jouett, Jefferson’s life that night could have come to an end/And one of our
greatest presidents would not be there to the Northwest Lewis and Clark send. Famous Quotes: The Charleston Daily Progress October 26, 1909 Praising Jack Jouett:
“Hearken good people: awhile abide
And hear of stout Jack Jouett’s ride;
How he rushed his steed, nor stopped nor stayed
Till he warned the people of Tarleton's raid.
The moment his warning note was rehearsed
The State Assembly was quickly dispersed.
In their haste to escape, they did not stop
Until they had crossed the mountain top.
And upon the other side come down.
To resume their sessions in Staunton Town.
His parting steed he spurred,
In haste to carry the warning
To that greatest statesman of any age,
The Immortal Monticello Sage.
Here goes to thee, Jack Jouett!
Lord keep thy memory green;
You made the greatest ride, sir,
That ever yet was seen.”
