It was reported that the fact checkers have been removed from Facebook. No more Facebook jail! Well, the opinion people haven't gone anywhere as one of my remarks was removed. I was informed I couldn't say that! I was given the option to appeal that decision instead of being banned from commenting. I didn't appeal as what I was saying is of little consequence just being my normal charming self. There are a block of people on the left that just don't like me, or my opinions. Okay, the feeling is mutual. I was just amused by that, I was told it was insensitive. At least that was their opinion, my opinion is that I just stated a fact. Sometimes the facts are insensitive I suppose, but it doesn't change anything. The truth shall set you free.
I haven't heard any more about TikTok going dark. That's a newer phrase I hear used quite a bit, going dark. I remember when we just operated in the shadows. It's not really dark when you shine a light on it. I expect TikTok will continue as usual. There is too much financially to be lost if it doesn't. Remember when those on the left were screaming at the sky. That was nothing if TikTok goes dark, there will be a meltdown of epic proportions. Talk about temper tantrum. I'd like to see it personally, I'm certain it would be quite entertaining. Are the baristas still on strike against Starbucks? All that surely made a great impact, didn't it? No double caffeine latte with foam for you! Pumpkin spice, forget about it.
The inauguration ceremony has been moved indoors. I'm guessing that global warming has taken a break. The news said Ronald Reagan did the same thing, moved it indoors. Seems like a reasonable thing to do given the forecast. I've heard you can watch in some stadium or dome something like that. The news has been going into all the details for security measures. Leaving no stone unturned is the phrase they are using. There will be agents on the rooftops, even if those rooftops are slanted! Drones are being deployed as well. Three miles of anti-scale fencing is being erected.
In other news a ceasefire has been established between Israel and Hamas. We'll have to wait and see how long that holds up. Personally I have no confidence in that at all. I think the best we can hope for is a pause, an exchange of hostages and prisoners, time to catch their breaths before starting all over again. If you know anything about history that is the most likely scenario. Israel was attacked and they responded to that attack. Now I keep hearing how bad that is, that Netanyahu is the bad guy. All I can say about that is, you attack me and I will respond. All is fair in love and war. Any notion that war can be waged in a "civilized" fashion is just nonsense. That isn't the nature of war and never will be.
The state of California is on fire. The rush is on to place the blame on someone or something. The fires rage on and daily I hear reports that progress is being made. Then I hear another fire has begun. The devastation is unbelievable. Firefighters are coming from all over the world to help. Some are blaming the climate and some are blaming the politicians. Still others insist the fires are being set by arsonists. Illegal aliens are being blamed as well. I can see no reason why anyone would want to do any of that, how would it benefit them? But then again I have seen entire neighborhoods destroyed by those living in that neighborhood protesting perceived injustices. So, I guess you just never know.
Lots going on in the world and it can get overwhelming if you allow that to happen. The best thing you can do is accept the truth for what it is. You can't change the truth, rewrite history or heal the past. No, all you can really do is cause no harm in the future. Just keep moving is my advice. Don't get overly excited, stay calm. It'll be alright. All this will pass, replaced by something new that became old. Remember when X was twitter. LOL The more things change the more they remain the same.
