90+% of our press are……..dopes

Now let us explain, s’il vous plait.

First what meaneth the dots in the title above?  Simple answer – we don’t print most of the words – well none of ‘em – that preceded the descriptive definition – dopes.

How did we calculate the 90%?  Simpler answer – we have been around for a while – quite a while.  Actually we do use the descriptive + plus sign because it has always been very obvious that it is more than 90% but we were not certain of using 95+% and obviously knew that 100% would be at least modestly difficult to defend.  Alas – it can’t be defended and here are two good reasons why:

1. First a guy by the name of John Kass.  We’ve read him for a long, long time.  He is a Chicago guy –well he is on the second page of the Chicago Tribune and this is what we usually – no, not always, but darn near – like and admire about this one man – he is getting better and better by the day – by that we simply mean in our opinion – this one dopey guy writing these few words – he sees the situation and he knows darn well it is not good and yet he still has to balance that with good writing or else – well you figure out what else, huh?  An example – well read his article published today and afterwards ask yourself this simple question – the dopes in the 90+% of today’s American media and the one pile of ____ party cannot bring themselves to apply one standard to all – and that is just one of the reasons so many are not worth watching/reading/listening to.

2.  Now the next guy – a guy named Jason L. Riley.   Holy smokes folks we have just found him recently (last year or so) – not over the years as mentioned about the guy above.  Not only is he a darn good writer and observer and simply aware of what the heck is actually going on - he has the ability and the skill and simply the guts to put it together and write it/reveal it and not give a tinkle of nonsense to diminish it.  Why do we mention this characteristic?  Well name a Republican who acts in a similar fashion, huh?   Mr. Riley is located at the Wall Street Journal. 

Closing comments s’il vous plait.

Now we are pretty darn sure you may need to subscribe to one or both outfits to promptly get their commentaries – observations – wonderful writings.  But we also think you may be able to get their writings by moving around and checking up on them.  Pls don’t hold us to that.

Up to you – we do find them way above – really those words are woefully inadequate to describe their observations and simple presentations compared with 90+% of the dopes in America’s media today and yes we mean 90+% of the TV dopes (heck, we are probably being rather generous  in limiting that observation to just 90+% of them dopes, huh?)

Our modest closing suggestion – turn off the TV – read these guys – find others – heck if you’ve got a good one let us know, huh?   But also know this – we will check ‘em out and maybe agree – maybe not, huh?

The American Debt Discussion and Awareness

We start with a simple human being medical example – let’s say some guy, hypothetically,  recently  visited the medical center a week ago and was tested and examined and had samples of this and that taken and came back a few days ago and was told the following:

·         Some hearing loss

·         Immune system not quite what it used to be

·         Occasional urinal incontinence

·         A possible tumor in your liver needs further analysis

We all know that the last one needs immediate attention – the others need to be dealt with and there are several well known methods.  But a tumor?  May be a big problem – let’s hope it is treatable – get moving – deal with it.

Is this simple example appropriate elsewhere?  And if so – where – and further who should be doing it – and further – let’s just say we have an example – then – what are the next steps?

Yesterday morning we did something we seldom do – for about 12 or 15 minutes we clicked around between the Sunday Morning news/interview shows – whatever – and we were most interested in what those shows – their reporters and whatever – and their guests and whatever – were questioned about and discussed or talk about or try to discuss.

Now, at this moment in this brief writing we, TheFundamentals, will state what we think is America’s number one problem, much like a tumor:

DEBT

Here is the DEBT of the United States of America now (rounded out):

$ 20,000,000,000,000.00

If you have interest in this number and its recent growth please go to:

https://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/histdebt/histdebt.htm

We have just a few things to say before we close up this brief essay:

1.    Number of times we heard it discussed Sunday morning – ZERO

2.    Number of times we heard anyone attempt to raise it – ZERO

3.    Number of times we heard or saw someone mention it in an indirect fashion – ZERO

4.    Enough

This is all we have to say in closing – we did not bother to try to rank our closing statements:

1.    We have no clue who is the stupidest – American media or American politicians and bureaucrats (not the military) or just all the rest of us

2.    Take the politicians – the only one we have heard mention it briefly and recently is the new president (please go to:  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wud7UvrpgLg )  – all the others we watched are simply stupid,  ignorant, afraid or ________

3.    Why do we vote for ignorant dopey people?   Or watch them?

4.    Even better – ask yourself – do I intend – will I leave my kids – my grandkids with debt I didn’t repay?

5.    And then ask yourself this – what in the _____ am I doing voting for _____ who will?   Or watching ________?

6.    Please fill in the blanks after you have read and contemplated an answer!  We can’t because we do not print the several words that come to mind.

Worth watching - listening

When we watched it early this am less than 3000 people had done so.   We imagine that will rise.

It is a shame when one simply grasps this waste – this simple idea – for a democracy to survive it simply must have facts and information – basic knowledge and value it.

Our press or whatever you call the printed and viewed people – alas, darn near all of them – are simply lacking this one simply fact and need.  Today.  In our beloved land.

Some thoughts about “what is going on?”

Pls keep in mind our above first three words – okay?

·         Debt and deficits – it appears America has joined the group of nations or whatever one calls them that simply print money to maintain some form of status for the dopey political idiots – call them as your please – a rather new and totally different basis of being than why we are here and what our good founding folks – mostly our brave young men who fought and died for this place

·         What does this mean?  What most likely will occur?  Well if you don’t know or don’t care or don’t think about it we have no interest in answering those questions for you because –  if you have studied history even occasionally or modestly you have an idea and if you watch the nonsense and listen to it (more below) coming from the media dopes of this day, well you should know

·         So now what?  Does the Donald know?  Does the Donald have a chance?  What is in store for the Donald?  Well now we get into the real realm of fiction and uncertainty – heck folks do we know?  Pls read on if interested.  We do think about it and then you perhaps can answer the question – do we know?

·         First we must speak briefly – why waste our time – about the incredibly ridiculous media in our beloved land by asking this simple question – how on earth did we end up with these nonsensical and simply #*&%(@ people?  (We regret mostly just in this one case/situation – our refusal to use needed but mostly four letter words when describing obvious ridiculousness).  Perhaps you have an answer to the question – how on earth did we end up with these nonsensical……

·         We don’t.  It actually terrifies us – not us as in this guy – but us as in his and others kids and grandkids – we owe them so much more when it simply comes to reality and history and just an even basic level of human being awareness and knowledge….

·         And folks we are simply discarding our responsibility to be adults who pass along a solid basis just as was passed along to us!

·         Back to the Donald and others – now what?

·         Well, we simply do not know.  He does not seek us out – does not share what may be going on as he ponders the next weeks – heck the next year or two.  We simply do not know.   But we worry for a couple of basic reasons or possibilities:

o   The Donald has dough – lots of dough – and most of us do not.  For those of us who worked hard – and for a fairly long time – put up with the bad and the good – we call it “life” – well we are okay.  Life expectancy will take care of us….

o   …but as we have said – we worry about our kids but mostly because our kids are older we worry about our grandkids and all their kids not even remotely planned or conceived or even being pondered now

o   In other words we worry about the future of the US of A

o   Our beloved country brought to us by simply many, many hard working regular folk who only sought one simple situation – get me/us away from the dopes who ran things for themselves

o   And that is simply how we close – these few brief words –

o   Please get us away from the dopes that run things for themselves

o   And this thought – too late?  Or not?

o   Enough for today…

One woman…

…who is a Mom – and very possibly the Donald’s top human being who supports him.   Are you interested?  If so…

…please read on.

TheFundamentals is simply in awe with this one American who must find a few things many of which are missing by the media and Democrats when it comes to the Donald.  Here are a few:

·         A quote from the recent WSJ article – “I consider myself a member of the pro-life rank-and-file,” she says. “Just one of the tens of millions of Americans who fear the cavalier way innocent human life is treated today.”

·         And here is one of her rather simple explanations about life – She is opposed to abortion. Her reasoning is “We grew up with sonograms. We know life when we see it.”  Ponder that for a moment or two, please.

·         A quote – She states, "Everything I learned about life and business started on that farm."  What farm you may ask – well read about it here:  http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2016/09/meet_the_nj_native_whos_running_donald_trumps_camp.html

·         On August 19, Trump named Conway the campaign's third campaign manager.  She served in this capacity for 10 weeks, through the November 8 general election, and was first woman to run a Republican general election presidential campaign.

·         We wish to repeat those words – “…first woman to run a Republican general election presidential campaign…” and offer these two comments…

o   …and win…

o   …and not get much credit from the dopey American media

·         Now here is one of our favorites – Conway told CNN she was only tweeting what she has shared with President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Pence in private.  What you may ask did she “share?”  Simple – discontent for Mitt Romney which to this one fellow is just simple awareness coupled with an ounce of wisdom.

·         And our all-time favorite statement from this phenomenal female human being –

o   "I would say that I don't play golf and I don't have a mistress, so I have a lot of time that a lot of these other men don't," she told the Fox Business Network.

o   "I see people on the weekend spending an awful lot of time on their golf games, and that's their right, but the kids will be with me, we live in the same house, and they come first," Conway continued.

Now please understand this, if you will.  TheFundamentals is simply writing about this one person with a certain level of concern and also a high level of hope.  Are we concerned about whether this one human woman is this darn good?  Well only because we are a bit concerned about the Donald folks and yet this one person – this woman – this Mom – this wife – simply must see and experience something that the American media don’t or can’t or won’t.  Heck folks it’s not just the dopey media, its darn near every dopey Democrat anywhere in our wonderful land.

And if you are suspicious or doubtful as this one guy sometimes is; well, folks, lets support this one woman.  The Donald appears to be – we hope we are not missing something!

Has America ever had so many dopey, dumb Democrats?  Ever?  Well we can’t be certain as they are disappearing in a number of elected places but if anyone wonders why?  Well, just read the list.   Is this what our founders did?  Is this what our fairly recent but now departing older elected folks did?   

FEDERAL DEBT

Here is the article we just read:

http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/federal-debt-climbs-105464794162691-2016

All one need do is read the brief commentary from our retired top Military Man (at the top of this page) to know where we stand on this issue.

Yet, for reasons that simply display his complete stupidity, the departing dope in the white house says nary a word about this - his one "accomplishment."

Bye-bye Barack.  PTL you are leaving!  Much of this government of yours is simply a disaster.  Just like your "home" city/county/state!
