Differences

 NEWS ON TV yesterday:

A news network journalist interviewed Canada's  Minister of Defense Anita Anand about the quality of tanks and what is capable of. OMG! All of her questions out of curiosity not knowing that whatever she is asking and the Defense Minister would rather say or state the obvious that she's not allowed to reveal anything out of the ordinary but the interviewer for whatever reason... is she a spy or a journalist? Who she is in favor or showing sides in that kind of war? Or is it not a war because it is a "show off" of how many tanks, what kind of tanks and how it is being used? 

Fortunately, Canada can only allow 4 specific tanks LEOPARD 2 tanks to send to Ukraine. While Germany, Poland and USA will send many tanks. Is less more or more is less?

LOL. Leopards hunt in darkness.

Is it a war, really? Or INFRASTRUCTURES?

Why not? 

Maybe all the Ukrainians would like to return to Ukraine after the war, after all the modern buildings, bridges and once the modern civilization is finally established.  After 1986 Chernobyl Nuclear explosion, the Ukrainians deserved to live in their own land. Ukraine is such a huge demographic agri-eco land area. Maybe that was the plan all along with all those rumors of war or invasions by Russia. Ukrainians are Russians, just like Torontonians being Canadians. 

Why the obsessions of Canadian politicians with Ukraine & Russian war? There are small wars going on  in your own land Canada because it is a country of all immigrants fighting to survive homelessness and unemployment. To add refugees to your additional problems to feed and clothe and house them could mean less benefits or no benefit at all for true Canadians. Less pensions for Canadians who worked so hard for many years would just end up begging like beggars. Then here comes journalists informing the price hike of major commodities had something to do with the war in Ukraine and Russia. CANADA is a huge country capable of producing its own food, gas and oil. Canada has its own natural resources. To blame the war in other countries is just simply stupid. It's not a rocket science.

NEWS about housing in Toronto wherein teachers and University professors cannot afford because their salary(ies) are just not fit for the average working people. Average monthly rate per month for one bedroom is still above $2,500 utilities not included. Would you believe? Believe it or not it's FACT.

FACTS OF LIFE in CANADA is different from facts of life in other countries. If you can afford to dine in high class, social ambience of classy resturants, doon na ako sa "TURO-TURO RESTAURANT."  Cheap! Parang Crazy Rich Asians. Its the richy wealthy people eating beside a stall, eating fishballs and hotdogs. 

While, some ultra rich, wealthy families live in a crappy condominiums in New York because their dwelling whether it looks old and moldy, their place is worth $10-20 MILLION DOLLARS.

I watched all those FBI, NCIS series and those agents never go home anymore, living at the headquarters because it is safer for them and its because their jobs are risky but they are not paid good enough to live in a highly secured homes. 

 

Gun Violence An Epidemic. Why?

 While California had been hit with storms after storms after the earthquake causing power outage, the flood was the next damage being reported after the New Year. Next news from news network, after the flood, drought is felt in other parts of California. Then for whatever it is that some people whose brainwaves are haywire (?) started firing, shooting people. In the news, of a lone gunman who shot 10 people in a dancing hall club. I don't know the reason why the gunman shot those people because the suspect committed suicide. Some people in that community thought it was a hate crime (racism) but the gunman was an Asian who shot Asian people as his victims.

Another disturbing news that a mushroom worker shot his co-workers at the workplace where mostly Asian workers are working in that same company. They caught the gunman and he was under investigation.

OMG! It's becoming a trend now that desperados are so consumed of gun violence and they seemed to choose victims in groups. What could be the reason why? 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

From most of the FBI stories and series I watched on TV, FBI Agents had come to unravel that out of desperation of the victimizers had something to do with such violence in order to save their member of the family or close family member who is in dire need of immediate organ transplant. It's hard to believe but many stories of these violent acts had come to be the only reason why. In the news, there are more than 100,000 patients who are in need of new life saving vital organ: heart, kidney, liver, lungs, skin (for grafting), plasma, blood, etc. Truth of fiction? IT'S THE TRUTH & IT IS ALSO ABOUT FACTS. Long time ago, they only used vital organs from those "volunteers" from prisoners in prison,  from casualty at war (no wonder there's rumor of war all the time), and because human organs are becoming in demand...the human organs are now commodity. It's a shame. Very desperate humans have to deal with organ transplant through the help of pigs. The experiment on having heart from a pig was tried and tested but it didn't last long for the human recipient.

Irreverent

 From Midwich Cuckoos to The Last Resort to Lazarus project and this month... THE IRREVERENT television series that make us tune in to our TV every Sunday at 6 pm on Showcase. Why not? It's something unusual, the story or plot is somewhat brand new as in haven't seen any story like it. There is no similarity with other movies, shows or series  I already watched.

THE IRREVERENT is a story of a criminal mediator named Paulo (Colin Donnel) who lives in Chicago, USA. However due to an anomaly he got involved in a criminal act, he was able to escape, boarded a plane and happened to met a man wearing the black robe, he's a priest.The priest is Mackenzie was talkative and friendly, chatty and wants to engage Paul in every opportunity to find out who he is. They got drunk but the priest was not drunk enough and when Paulo woke up all his belonging were taken by the supposedly priest who is a thief. Mackenzie left his cassock (black robe) the only clothing he can wear and a pair of hotel's slippers. The next scenes were, finding the village somewhere in Queensland where Mackenzie is supposed to be working as the village's clergyman. Paul on the way to the village, driving the black hearse, being sleepy and tired had an accident and hit the electric post and he ended up in jail. The female police officer Piper, didn't waste no time but shoot mugshot of Paulo and jailed Paulo, it seems that she is not convinced of Paulo's identity as a "clergyman." That was the first episode. The next episodes were sort of more disturbing, complicated and mostly damage control, good that Cameron & Daisy are on his side to help him after Paulo helped them from being punched by two thugs when Daisy accidentally got hold of the box of sealed raw tobacco leaves.

As a mediator, Paulo was very experienced in this kind of problem...he is a negotiator. Only few hours of how to solve difficult situation. It's the role of highly skilled individuals, witty, informative and maybe had been a psychologist/psychiatrist or master of behavioural science and got knowledge for damage control. Where Paul is getting his finance in all those expenditures? I first thought all his money were stolen from him by Mackenzie. You'll find that out in next episodes: Louts & Fishes + 3rd episode: Ashes To Ashes.

Every episode of the IRREVERENT is complicated. It's like a raging volcano is always throwing or hurling molten rocks and whether to shield yourself or just hit the rock back to the angry volcano.

For The Sake of Art & Money

 I have this subject for a while in my mind and don't know when to start and how to begin with its intro because the subject or topic is quite intriguing because it has something to do with identity crisis and gender-bending situation.

My daughter and I usually watch 6TEEN a animated cartoon show for kids at 9pm on Channel 317. On that night, we already watched the episodes shown on our TV so we opted to change channels and look for something to watch. Then on this particular channel, the screen focused on a guy who was asking two guys to let him in the bus because it's already night and he doesn't like sleeping outside but instead the two men didn't bother, giggling themselves until they fall asleep. The next day at sunrise , they opened the bus door for him. The light shines and illuminated on them and I was surprised, omg! Is that guy the bad guy, rather the contravida in the movie MATRIX? How the hell he HUGO WEAVING is a drag queen? I mean, he portrayed himself as a homosexual drag queen in this movie THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA: Queen of the Desert. lol. I couldn't believe that a macho, thug-looking guy will accept the role of a drag queen. So Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce and Terence Stamp were so good in their portrayal as drag queens. You wont believe how expert they are with their acting. They are such a screamers. ha ha! If Neve Campbell made you scream in SCARY movies these 3 macho guys could make you scream too, think that great actors are thoroughly versatile and great entertainers. Funny but weird.

Hugo Weaving (actor for the movies: Lord of the Rings, Matrix, other blockbuster movies, and Samara weaving's uncle), Guy Pearce and Terence Stamp (Zod in the movie Superman).

Talented actors making a living being entertainers. Not all gays and drag queens are homos. They did it for money & for art sake. Revival sort of.

If you saw men wearing earrings and looking like feminine...think again or maybe you are too manly and macho but truth is you are "softee."  If looks can deceive you. Look, who would believe that Rock Hudson was gay? That macho, handsome guy who had fallen for Elizabeth Taylor...so unbelievable. To never judge the book by its cover. You'll never know until you know.

Think about this. Did you know in HISTORY before 15th Century somewhere in the Pacific, all men wore jewelries from head to toes. Men wore earrings, necklace, anklets and adorn themselves with  jewels they could find. While women were just happy with flowers on their hair or adorned their neck with fresh flowers garlands. Only men had to wear earrings and jewelries as it was the symbol of their wealth, status, and valor for every war they had won. While in Europe after the Dark Ages, the European men,  the Founding Fathers of America wore the powdered wigs and make-up or disguised themselves with the use of cosmetics. Why made themselves looked feminine? Same thing. It was status quo or symbol of authority, wealth and that's how it is way back then. Look at those peacocks and lions. Why the male lions and male peacocks are lavishly colorful than females?

 

Australian Heatwave

 The time difference in Australia from Canada made it hard to watch the tennis tournament and the very first tournament was not even shown on Canadian television channels. Good that when AO or Australian Open ATP Tournament finally opened or shown on TV TSN Channels (2 channels) they had the Canadian tennis players playing first ahead of those less popular tennis players. The very first day of AO they had Bianca Andreescu, Felix-Auger Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov. They won the first day, first round of the match. It was hot! The temperature was summer blistering hot for Canadian players. Did you know that over 25 Celsius degrees temperature for weather is more like an inferno hot? That kind of heatwave can cause stroke here in Canada and can spark wildfire. Then the next round the Canadian tennis players had their match again and won but why Auger has to play against Pospisil who is a Canadian player? That's strange. On the second day round for the Canadian players and their opponents suddenly the weather temperature has changed from hot to cold and windy because I think it rained and the game was postponed or canceled for later day or hours? So from hot to cold temp. that could change the situation and outcome of the game. Definitely is. Denis Shapovalov suddenly wore extra clothing, Bianca has to wear her jacket while playing tennis and noticed the audience, the fans, visitors, stayed on their seats feeling cold and good for them some of them brought their sweaters and jackets and maybe some of them have to buy all of a sudden from nearby shops. The sudden change of weather temperature's not in favor for their game in Australia. Looks like...the game is in favor and on the side of Djokovic. Hm, maybe I'm wrong.

So folks, what could it lead to for that sudden change of weather temperature? Hot & cold? It could give you headaches, colds, and less stamina if you are not ready for such drastic temperature change. 

All the Canadian tennis players were out of the AO match after the 3rd round, except Felix-Auger Aliassime. If you can play tennis for 4th to 5th set just like Andy Murray of UK and if you are fanatic fans who can stay at the podium or grandstand for 5 hours under the heat of the sun and dry yourself like a fish then stay. At least you don't need to pay for suntanning bed. By that time of 5 hours watching the sports end, sweltering sweat, you felt the tennis court looking like a blue ocean and two players bathing in their own sweat. Now people smell yourself if you stink like a beef teriyaki or salted dry fish. Opsi, just kidding.

Truth Or Fiction

 A lot of things and stories to talk about, some are important, few stories are maybe fiction, fantasize or just plain BS. Showbiz stories sometimes are full of tricks and gimmicks. Wonder why. Yup wonder why some of them never use their true, real names and their true identities are hidden from the public as in they are only known for their "screen names and fictional character." Only entertainers in showbiz are allowed to use their screen names in public. Writers and novelists have their pseudonyms or ghostwriters have their rights also to use their pen names, well only if you chooses just like Mark Twain. By the way, did you know that the Catholic priests can use their true, real names until the time when they are chosen to be Bishop and chosen to be the Holy Pope. I don't know why, maybe that's part of the conclave and cardinal rule. ?

It was just few days when Brendan Fraser was interviewed criticizing an institution then recently, he was given award in the Critic Choice Award for his latest movie "The Whale."Good for him. The movie, "The Whale" looks like it's a sad, lonely crying scene situation most of the time for the obese, very ill man trying to survive. It was a struggling movie almost cry for help for the actor Brendan Fraser. The popular actor/ action star/comedian known for the movies: The Mummy, Return of the Mummy, Encino Man, and highly acclaimed movie SCHOOL TIES, the movie that catapulted Brendan to stardom together with talented actor Jason Bourne, I mean Matt Damon. The very first movie that Hollywood took notice of Brendan because he can act in a serious drama portraying the role of a Jewish boy where everyone in his school he attended were sons of wealthy and influential  families and  taunted him for being a Jew. What's it like to be a Jew? In History, based from History, the Jews were classified as low class people and they were Egyptian slaves until Moses took them out from slavery and Exodus happened. In our generation, the Jewish people are known in the entertainment industry and in the jewelry industry (gold and diamond jewelry shop owners). Brendan had uplifted from being taunted, mocked and punched on screens until he became the tomb raiders in the movies THE MUMMY with Rachel Weisz and in the next 2 Mummy movies after.

Enough movies. Let's watch the news in politics. Ukraine never stop to report on how many casualty, death on their side.((In a true document story of Chernobyl, the area where Chernobyl nuke explosion by accident happened in 1986, that wide area was contaminated, radioactive from 1984 to up to this year still "radioactive" and cause for concern. That area is off limits for civilians and those buildings, too many of them (condos, apartments, houses) are actually EMPTY. No humans are allowed to live in that area. RESTRICTED. ABANDONED. Some of the dead people there... were there since 1986, not yet buried nor given formal rites. How huge is that area? Almost like two cities or province that the explosion and contamination has reached the next country. What radioactive materials can do to your body? CANCER! irregular heartbeat causing stroke, cardiac arrest, respiratory illness, of course DEATH)). 

Have you seen the movie SPONTANEOUS?  You should watch that movie.

News from Russia whether they are winning in war or what as they never report any casualty nor loss of any human beings, only in the very first month of the war wherein Ukraine got hold most of the tanks from Russian soldiers and used their tanks against Russia. Hold on, too many foreign journalists there (lol) , asking which ones are Russians and which ones are Ukrainians? They are the same Russians. So what happened... stolen Russian tanks were then painted with the colors of Ukrainian flags. Uhm...Ha ha! lol. Tsk! tsk! (Opsi, sorry nothing to laugh about). A spokeswoman for NATO announced that Ukraine is not an ally or member of NATO. That's the reason why members of the NATO are reluctant to help. Canada and the US helping Ukraine in the war is somewhat questionable that Ukraine had started when they bombed their own bridge to begin the war and then blame Putin. All the Ukrainians blamed Putin for bombing their own Ukraine's bridge! Truth is, Ukrainians bombed the bridge so that the Russians can't pass through their territory. START OF THE WAR. Power outage in Ukraine. NATO or North Atlantic Treaty Organization whose supposed to be in alliance with Putin and other NATO member countries cancelled  the military exercises between the border of Russia and Ukraine. That's the true story news before the war. However, the news of the bridge that was bombed by Zelensky's men blamed it to Russians. Because of the looming news, power outage and other rumors waging in and out of Ukraine when they don't even have telecommunications for news relay other than those news reporters who were there to cover the supposedly military exercises (power outage). While millions of them, they fled their country and moved to Poland and other European countries to become refugees. This part of the story, could be old or hoard stories during the Chernobyl explosion (?). Because Chernobyl and areas outside of Chernobyl were doomed and ABANDONED as in CONTAMINATED. Something is really wrong with their war. Too much HOLLYWOOD! It's a Hollywood movie!! We should just watch MAVERICK or just watch and re-watch BATTLESHIP again and again, great loud music when canons started firing using USS MISSOURI as a battleship to fight the aliens.

Fighting and killing aliens and annihilation of  their species seemed like the best battle ever but fighting with the same human race? Where is your conscience?

Something To Talk About

 Just this morning, a "journalist" for movie stars made comments about two movies and you can feel the air and his bias assumption on those two new movies: OTTO starring Tom Hanks and PLANE starring Gerard Butler. Tom Hanks is probably there's no introduction with who is because he is a top Hollywood big shot, actor of blockbuster movies Da Vinci Code & Angels & Demons. Well he was already known for early movies with Meg Ryan in Sleepless in Seattle and Turner & Hooch, known for his drama/comedy. While Gerard Butler's known for action packed movies such as Olympus Has Fallen, London Has Fallen, etc. and this newly produced movie PLANE. The journalist think that the movie Plane is marked 2 stars only because the characters in that movie are "unknown" or in other words not popular or their life stories not much important maybe to the story? Action packed movie setting in Jolo, Sulu in Mindanao. That's a haven for terrorists and beheading is just normal. If a plane crashed in that jungle, you are not only about to meet those notorious lawless rebels but the vast dark jungle full of wild animals and venomous crawlers and those millions of mosquitoes causing malaria?

Hmm, don't know the entire story actually, because it's new and haven't watch it yet. While the movie of Tom Hanks, you should bring a towel because it's a tearjerker that's what the journalist said.

To find that out better to watch the two movies and check it out for yourself. 

People grow old and actors and actresses grow old. Tom & Gerard are no longer spring chickens. All the action stars are getting older and their physical abilities might change and the delivery of the actions and messages could have impact in their movies. Aren't we all perfectionists? Even if we are not perfect. lol

Look at Michelle Yeoh. She was younger and talented, with martial arts skills to add to her credentials and yet didn't garner any awards but her movies were all blockbusters such as: movies with Jacky Chan, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (with Zhang Ziyi), The Mummy: The Tomb of the Empire Dragon (with Brendan Fraser), Crazy Rich Asians, then what gives her the 2023 Golden Globe award in EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE is when the only movie that shows her without make up and having to wear ugly clothing. lol. Maybe that's it, she needs to show her true colors of identity as an Asian woman (Malay). She's beautiful though. I first thought she's Diane Lane.

Jennifer Coolidge was also shocked that at her age, just as when she's aging gracefully that's the time when she's given awards and accolades. She's a riot though, funny and natural. Jennifer Coolidge known as  Stifler's mom in "American Pie." I first thought that was her first movie or first showbiz appearance, turned out she already guested in Seinfeld's tv show when she was first starting in showbiz. Oh, remember her being the stepmom of Hilary Duff in an old movie. 

Book: SPARE. Now I'm curious to read Prince Harry's story. Why he was stripped of his "royal status and his military conquest?" WEIRD. Totally strange. If the writer was not able to explain his outrage of falling from grace then something is wrong. The only reason why a military man has to suffer this kind of consequences could be a huge scandal or secrets they don't want to reveal and they should answer for this in a military tribunal in a court. Aha! But because Harry is a member of the Royal family then is the rule of law different? In all these troubles, Harry made a wrong choice of choosing Meghan then. Or just the two were just "doubles for the real ones." That's what it is... every tree has a little sap and their sap is larger than life.

Everyone should have their spare. You can fool yourself and tell your own story, who cares who believe? Well, until now some humans only believed in the Old Testament and still waiting for the prophecy of the New Testament to happen. Surprise yourself.

Today's News

 IN THE NEWS TODAY FROM CBCNNEWS & CNN: The two news networks had the same story news feeds. FAA or Federal Aviation Administration had a computer power outage. Flights were once again cancelled and delayed in many airports in the US. The news showed airports in Dallas, Texas + Reagan airport, and airport in LAX. Planes are grounded for the time being until all matters were resolved. 

News of the flash flood in Montecito, California was shown on tv screen and awful mudslides, had one large, tall tree falling itself on the ground down to the road.

According to the woman being interviewed (Lt. Gov't) , that part of California suffered six consecutive storms which is not normal in barely a month's. Six storms happened in their area of responsibility for a year not for two weeks only this month which is unusual. You have to remember that they also had been struck with earthquakes last December 2022 causing damages and power outage.

While Nelson, BC is the site of an avalanche killing a police officer while skiing on the snowy alps. 

It was just recently when a cop on probation was killed by a gunman during a highway inspection. Last year, a police officer also was a victim of a stabbing done by a homeless man living on tent. Hmm, don't know why the RCMP or cops here in Canada has to patrol on duty alone by himself or herself. Aren't they not allowed to have two cops (partners) in one police car? A back-up plan for police patrol officers are much needed not just body camera to support them in a dangerous situation.

It's the IIHF 2023 Women's (Teens) in Sweden :USA (1) vs Canada (3). Canadian Team (3) in the lead as of now...

Context

 Are you a speech writer? How great are you? Sometimes we think that a speech we ought to hear from politicians are straight from the mouth of the speaker, orator or deliberator like what they are sayings are the context of the speaker but most of the time the speech is written by another writer. It has the body or text from the speaker but speechwriter usually prefers the speech who will deliver the message. 

Who are the preferred speechwriter of US Presidents? Who was the speechwriters of known popular politicians? Are the full body of speech straight from the brain or mind of the ones who will deliver the speech?

Answer: I don't know. Unless if the messenger of speech revealed anyway.

Question: Do you think the messenger or the speaker or whoever delivers the message memorize their own speech for the public and to the assembly?

Answer: Supposedly, the messenger or speaker could memorize the speech for the satisfaction of the assembly and for the public, makes them eloquent, like a genius, brilliant.  However, you can choose different mediums such as the use of tele-prompters or notes at hand. Or simply you can use the earphone, listening device and just follow the "dictator's command." Which is convenient? If a speaker or the one that delivers the message is honest or simply true to what they are supposed to say, you don't need to memorize messages like you cannot make up stories if its a true story.

In TRUE STORY you are the only one who knows the truth. If they don't believe it then it's their problem.

Da Vinci Code + Angels and Demons

 Once again the old movies of Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon were on the screen of our TV. The two movies are based on the two blockbuster novels written by the genius author DAN BROWN.

What so good about watching replays and reruns of these two powerful movies give you the basic education of cracking codes and decipher what is the true code being unravelled. 

Are you a code cracker or code breaker? By the way, a hacker is different from a code cracker.

DA VINCI CODE.  A murder happened in Louvre, in France. Robert Langdon (a Harvard professor and symbologist) met the female investigator named Sophie. While they were into investigation, French police starting eyeing on Prof. Robert Langdon as a suspect. Sophie and Langdon tried to escape. While in their daring escape they learned about themselves, the nature of their work and through all the obstacles they run, avoid, get trapped and Langdon had to crack some codes for those whose after them (one of them > the albino guy who was truly devoted to protect the secret) until they finally get into the old crypt where Mary Magdalene was buried. Through the many conversations throughout the chase and until group of scion or the Priory who were descendants of the bloodline of  whoever they thought Sophie was through the bloodline of Jesus Christ. Sophie was kind of surprise and chuckled that if only she can turn water into wine while trying to dip her toe on the old pond. Anyway, somehow Langdon was convinced that maybe Sophie was a descendant of Jesus Christ, not until he accidentally hurt his chin while shaving and the blood drop on the sink marked a knife or sword-like and he was appalled and he hurriedly went to the glass inverted pyramid in Louvre and his tears had fallen...

Yeah, yeah, Langdon you are the descendant of Jesus Christ! ?

ANGELS & DEMONS. Once again, Prof. Langdon embarked himself in the quest again together with another woman, a female scientist named Vittoria Vetra who is more than adventurous and had ripped the piece of one of the pages in the book (from Sistine Chapel Library). They were trapped inside, the only way out is to break the glass walls. The story or situation is actually the CONCLAVE for the next Vicar of Christ (Pope). Conclave is done in secrecy. All the Cardinals  and high ranking Vatican bishops were gathered in a secret chamber locked for the votes to count. Only Father Carmellengo (Ewan McGregor) who was able to go back and forth outside of the chamber and he is meticulous and strict and he follows everything by the book. However, beyond reasonable doubt that although the Vatican is a sacred place of worship, demonic beings also happened to be in the scenes. You don't have to see demons as demonic creatures, ugly and scary... How and why somebody who saved millions of people become the enemy and had to suffer and be the sacrifice? Who are the angels and who are the demons?

Have you played chess before? 

OLIGOPOLY.

Maligo na kayo. You need to freshen up.

Refresh. My God it is already YEAR 2023 and still they are into 2020, 2021 and 2022. 

Forget about the past because it wont help your future. You have a life to live and move on.

START ANEW.

 

What Peace There Maybe In Silence

 I was waiting for that weather forecast of storm to hit the island but it never happened. Is that miracle or just that the wind blew the storms away from the island? We have something to be grateful about.

Daughter and I watched the continuation of the ballot counting, rather votes intended for the nomination for Speaker of the House in the US Representatives in Capitol Hills. Did you know that majority of them had in favor to resume the counting until wee hours of the morning of January 7, 2023. Historic! After all the dramatic consequences between those politicians, finally at he 15th round, they finally had chosen US Rep. Kevin McCarthy (the son of a Californian firefighter in Bakersfield) as the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, with 216 Votes against US Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. 

We waited for their speeches. One long eloquent speech coming from US Rep. Jeffries and one long, full of many quotes, wise sayings and anecdotes from US House Speaker Hon. McCarthy who has a keen sense of humor similar to former US Pres. GW Bush. Abraham Lincoln is his favorite President.

I told you so. They are for McCARTHY. Congratulations. It took 15th Rounds. 216 Votes.

And the winners of the IIHF JUNIOR HOCKEY TEAM CUP 2023 is CANADA for Gold. Silver for Czech and Bronze for USA.

The return of FIRE COUNTRY starring SEAL TEAM Hero MAX THIERIOT in his dramatic/action series for episodes NO GOOD DEED once again on hot water while almost suffering from hypothermia trying to save lives. 

TV News trying to infuse fake news and trying to mess up news. You know what? I watch CBC NEWS for true, real news. In the news since the very beginning of the "supposedly war in Ukraine." The news was a scene between Pres. Putin of Russia chatting with Pres. of France sitting side by side at the table in Russia. This is after the  Winter Olympic Games in China. The meeting was kind of in good terms. Then news suddenly had it that there will be military exercises in Ukraine together with NATO allies. They are ready. In another television network group of hardliners suddenly asking Pres. Putin, "when will you invade Ukraine?" Pres. Putin was seen, his face was kind of stern, confused about the question. I was shocked too of the question because NATO ALLIES are supposed to do the MILITARY EXERCISES ONLY. An exercise. Next scene, Pres. Putin was seen sitting in a long table farther away from his military officers and high ranking government officials. ? The military exercises suddenly became an invasion. How that happened? Zelenskyy the actor suddenly raised war against Russia and bombed their own bridge. It was not Russia who bombed Ukraine's bridge it was Zelenskyy's order, it was Ukraine's aggressive move that started the war. He should just shovel and plow snow. Yeah, 36 hours ceasefire is quite too short eh? One day and 12 hours. Then suddenly Sean Penn get in to the scene. Look, if that's Hollywood movie in the making why tried so hard to fool all the people in the world? If that's how the mass migration should take place for the undocumented then there will be wars and rumors of war even if there is no war. INVASION could be a secret migration or influx of aliens to chosen country for the sake of better opportunity.

 Some people are dead because they are in the lines of fire and some people are alive because they had chosen peace.

The Latest Situation

 Bomb cyclone just happened in California causing flood. Then the news network announced that Vancouver Island will experience the same situation. Hmm, really?

Caution: Just be prepared.

------------------------------

CONGRATULATIONS JUNIOR HOCKEY TEAM for winning the IIHF Championship in Halifax, Nova Scotia 2023. Team Shane Wright (Team captain), Connor Bedard, Milic, Clarke, Otthoman,  Del Maestro, etc.

GOLD MEDALS & the 2023 IIHF CUP - the CHAMPIONS!

-------------------------------

As of this morning this is the result of the third day in a row in choosing the Speaker of the House for US HOUSE of Representatives. (Still on going...as of now for the next ballot counting).

Usually is the situation of  >Rep.  McCarthy failed to become the Speaker of the House as what those broadcasters stated on TV screen.  That's their English version. Would it be possible to state that its Rep. Jeffries who failed to become the Speaker of the House? Simply because he got the votes higher than those candidates in the ballot voting for the 12th times and yet he is not allowed to be the winner as the Speaker of the House. 

What does it means? This will go on and on until Rep. McCarthy is chosen. Somebody just said that he'll be there for the long haul up to July. lol.

Yeah, people it's Groundhog day or Lazarus Effect. ?

Don't worry about it. Did you know Pres. George W. Bush when he was elected for office, it took time for the results to be admitted because of the problem with CHAD. However, he won because he is a winner.

Because of the many right wing or radicals, election process in the US is determined by two options POPULAR VOTES & ELECTORAL VOTES.

Do you know why? You know what? I don't think that VOX POPULI, VOX DEI is believed in such process that's why higher intelligent, intellectuals are summoned to do their executive decision and thus the Highest Supreme Court Judges are asked to cast their votes.

 

Is America GREAT or Not?

 WHO ARE THE LOBBIES?

The right to choose the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE is the right and privilege of the members of the HOUSE OF THE US REPRESENTATIVES in CAPITOL HILL. Wow!

It is day two of the ballot counting in choosing the right Speaker of the House. Once again, US Republican Representative KEVIN MCCARTHY was denied of votes and instead Democrat Rep. HAKEEM JEFFRIES had garnered higher votes. Is he "Hakeem" a Moslem? 

Moslem is the true correct spelling many years ago because it also signified the word "Mosque and Mosaic." Only then in the millennium the Moslem was transcribed into Muslim. 

I am not being racist. It's just religion also played a part in politics and history. Let say for example, too many Moslems are approved to be in the US Representative over Christians, definitely the oath taking would be their hands swearing and placing their hand on the book of Koran (Quran). Now you probably know what I mean. Just for instance...I read a lot of books about conversion. The best conversion was the Pilgrimage of Ferdinand Magellan to the island of Mactan, from then on Christianity spread throughout Philippine archipelago. It took 500 years reign for that Spanish conquest and inquisition.

If whoever garnered higher votes win but it's not the case in this situation at the US Representative.

I don't know why. I should not tell you why. lol. Do you know why? What code is valid? The richest man or the one who holds the key?

Do you like watching the rap-concert stage drama HAMILTON? How about watching the movie PATRIOT of MEL GIBSON? Did you ever watch the popular television series TURN WASHINGTON SPIES? How about the movie ABRAHAM LINCOLN and BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI? 

Well, if you are familiar with US HISTORY and had favorite liking with war movies you'll probably wont appreciate what is happening at Capitol Hill in choosing who should be their House Speaker.

If you cannot decide on who should be the leader of the floor, or who should be the Lead House Speaker then you know why other countries never pay attention anymore to "how great is America."

This is your GREATest (context) for the year 2023. So far...

So how you can get away from January 6 when that date is intended for JOAN OF ARC?

You know what? There is SUBWAY! Bowl way or subway. lol

HOCKEY? BEDARD is the youngest hockey player who is already sensational and would be the next Sidney Crosby in the making.

Mental capacity

 There was a game show wherein the whole family has to win the trivia questions. The first portion of the show the trivia was for the Older members of the family and the second portion for the youngest member of the family. If the older members won the trivia against another competitive family then the youngest of the member of the winners family then has that one and only question of which one the youngest has to choose as their prize. For example the prize is a brand new family car and the other prize is a toy car. If the youngest member of the winning family had chosen the toy car then it's the toy car their prize not the family car.

So many times, the youngest members of the family aged below 10 years old or below 6 years old  had chosen the cheaper prize.

It's a total rip-off actually. There's probably a fight when they come home. lol. The blame game.

The minds of the younger and the older. It's EXPERIENCE dude that matters.

Latest News

 Before the year ends from 2022 to 2023, did you know of the "prisoners' swap" between Russia & Ukraine? Pres. Putin release all the Ukranian prisoners with the deal that Ukraine had their Russian prisoners released. It was on TV News. Truce or something that we thought war is over as Pres. Putin was seen having toast of wine with his army and had them awarded with medals. With the missiles being fired again? Also featured their (Russian) thank you letter to Santa for the gift of ammunition. What?! Hmm, getting ridiculous eh?

Anyway, North Korea fired ballistic missiles in the ocean and that's normal. Why every year they fired missiles? Test? Or they are sort of weather balloon experiment? Or changing the weather patterns in the sky. ( Maybe afraid of the "Dome" crystallization effect).
