One and a half million people were evicted from their homes in Beijing in preparation for the 2008 Olympics.

When Teddy Roosevelt was a child he had debilitating asthma. The doctors did not understand the disease at the time and told him to smoke cigars and drink coffee and whisky.

There is an entire industry to help students cheat to get their degrees by having their papers written by unemployed graduates and professors. It’s kind of brilliant because students can’t get caught for plagiarism because the papers are brand new.

The Rock Editor:   Is this ancient or recent history, LL ?

In The Middle Cat:    It begins around 1713.  This article is too long for the average reader.  In short, Gibraltar became a symbol of British power.

Remember when the three R’s meant READING, WRITING & ARITHMETIC? 

Those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end. I miss those days.  Nowadays, the Witches & Warlocks of the left gather in their BIG TENT to stir their caldrons of evil. They kill (abort) babies up until the moment of birth, allow males into ‘what should be womens sports and safe places’, and approve gender reassignment treatment to children.

(More on this gender reassignment BS to appear in a later Soapbox Post. I am trying to become less angry so that they cannot have me carted off to jail for expressing my opinion.)

Since we cannot have our Reading, Writing and Arithmetic back,  as a consolation prize, I present to you, three new R’s that will ABSOLUTELY  ANNOY the Democrats, Socialists & Communists:

RED, RIGHT, & REPUBLICAN.

 

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business.  She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.

She kept records and any rooster not performing was replaced. This took a lot of time, so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters.  Each bell had a different tone, so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing.  She could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.

Sarah’s favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen but, this morning, she noticed old Butch’s bell hadn’t rung at all. When she went to investigate, she saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.

To Sarah’s amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn’t ring.  He’d sneak up on a pullet, do his job, and walk on to the next one.

Sarah was so proud of old Butch that she entered him in a show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the “No Bell Peace Prize”, they also awarded him the “Pullet Surprise” as well.

Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making.  Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren’t paying attention?

Vote carefully in the next election.  You can’t always hear the bells.

In 2015, Daniella Perez, a woman in a wheel chair who had no feet, won a treadmill and a walk-in sauna on the Price is Right. She tweeted a photo of her shocked face during the win with the caption: “When you win a treadmill on national TV, but you have no feet.” Her upbeat attitude and jokes about “popping wheelies all day” made her an instant social media favorite.
