The Beatles: Get Back
by Simon inanyone watching this?
i've just started the 3rd and final episode which starts with i presume stella (no, heather) mccartney as a little kid playing in the studio while they record.. overall it's an amazing behind the scenes view of how they created the album and likely how they worked, the past songs and times they referred to and the camaraderie they had most of the time.. mccartneys song-writing and musical brilliance comes through of course.. overall i give it 5 stars if you're a beatles fan but can see it being too long if you're not.. personally, i have an ever-growing collection of outtake recordings of the beatles and bob dylan and have often come to like them more than the released tracks because they are just so raw and unpolished and you often get to hear how a song developed and evolved over time to the version you finally heard released.. who knew we'd be getting some fresh beatles material all these years later?!.
who knew so many fluffy coats and jackets could be worn by so many people in one place..

US Government Insurrection Attempt
by Simon inso now we know the russian dossier was a fraud, the whole "russian collusion" was a hoax, and we know it was funded by the clintons and promoted by the dem's media allies.. given that this was the basis for an actual attempt to remove the elected president of the united states, this was an attempted insurrection.. clinton is guilty and should face charges.. given that they did this, does anyone still believe that they wouldn't commit some lesser, election fraud, crimes?.
if so, you still haven't learned anything.
"fool me once" and all that ....

The Poor the Wealthy and the Middle Class
by Simon inthe poor spendthe middle-class savethe wealthy invest.
the unique circumstances of the lockdown and stimulus checks has highlighted these differences in stark ways.. on one hand, you have jumps in sales and valuation of companies like foot locker and nike, as people spend their "free" government money on sneakers.
they blow it on useless tat.

Tax on Unrealized Capital Gains!
by Simon inso janet yellen, the us treasury secretary, thinks taxing unrealized capital gains would be a way for them to fund their runaway spending.. first, they claimed that the real cost of their nonsense spending was $0, so they were lying then or are lying now ("why not both?!").
second, they claimed that money printing doesn't affect inflation, so why not just print the money instead?.
third, the "for billionaires" is to get the feeble minded masses on board, those that live on benefits and vote democrat for more "free money", but the irs monitoring of $600 bank accounts is also apparently to target the ultra-wealthy as well.

Alec Baldwin Shot a Woman Dead
by Simon inso alec baldwin shot a woman dead on set and seriously injured another man.. what do we put this down as?
a tragic accident?
maybe ... except that implies no one was to blame.. the more you find out, the more it seems that this was due to negligence and lack of attention to safety.

Taxpayer Money Direct to Union Pockets
by Simon inthe dems are not even trying to hide what they do anymore.. the latest is a direct payoff for political support by providing a $4500 subsidy on electric vehicles ... but only if they are made by union workers.. it's not the job of government to put their hand on the scale, especially not to benefit those who support them politically through campaign contributions.. corruption - it's what they do best.. https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tesla-union-bill-tax-incentive-unionized-ev-makers-2021-9.

Bank Bail-Out / Bail-In
by Simon inremember the last financial crisis, where there as a bail-out of the banks?.
have you ever stopped to think what the "out" part of bail-out means?
normally you think of bailing water out of a boat, or maybe jumping out of a plane, but in financial terms the "out" means "outside money".

Biden - Inappropriate Toucher and Killer of Children
by Simon inny times report on the drone strike in afghanistan - they killed an aid worker and his family including 7 children.. it was done as a political stunt so biden could claim they struck back at a terrorist (although it was a suicide bomb attack).. the attack was due to his incompetence and the drone strike done to distract from it.. his inappropriate touching of young girls now seems tame compared to his murder of young children.. he should be prosecuted.
he should be jailed.
he won't be, because us politics.. if you voted for him you're a shit that supports an inappropriate toucher and killer of children..
