An Observation About "Stupid People.": Stupid People Don't Know When to "Shut Up."

...Stupid people think they know it all and can say it all. An example of someone stupid is the last person who was
President of the United States. (For Clarity: NOT ... the current President, but the one before Joe Biden) I find it
hard to type his name.

...That person, thinks he.."Knows It All"
...But he really knows very little. Almost as if he knows, "Nothing At All"

I want to point out one thing about this idea: It took many years of observation of people to figure this idea out. (for me)
...Others have figured it out, but for me, it took a very long time & lots of experience of watching myself, and other people
to figure this one out. (for me)

A suggestion on living longer - (for those who sit a long time, LIKE ME!)

Take a movement break every 30 minutes, say experts. No matter how much you exercise, sitting for excessively long periods of time is a risk factor for early death, a new study published Monday in Annals of Internal Medicine found.

Here is a link to this study.....................(Not a new study...I kept it a long time in my email list..Yes, a very long time.......
Yes, more than five years...SORRY. (better late than never...this is VERY important

There could be a "LANDSLIDE" in this election in our favor. Three factors are:

1. Young Voters, 2. People who support Abortion, 3. Women

That is the key to our landslide. (if there is a "landslide"?)

If all those in the 3 groups show up..(or most) we will win in a "LANDSLIDE"

An opinion on why Trump won't run in 2024. He won't have enough money!

In my opinion it is that simple. Why? The super rich Republicans will not support Trump because they
know he is going to lose. Trump is a liar and a crook and it is that simple. Trump stole documents from
the government, and the FBI had to go into one of his apartments to get those documents.

The resulting publicity from the ..."Stolen Documents" and the Jan 6 Insurrection Hearings, have destroyed
Donald Trump's political value. Trump cannot win any election with 30 percent of the vote. It is that simple.
Repeat: Thirty percent doesn't win an election. It never has, and never will.

Incredible Advance of the "INTERNET"- All Kinds of Street Maps and Travel Maps for Everyone

....I was looking up for a high school that I taught at and the internet gave me a map of where it is. I realized at that
moment the fact that the internet provides maps for all places almost everywhere. And you can adjust the map to any
size immediately. I used to have to buy maps at a bookstore. Now everyone can get a map of any city or place at any
time for free. If your computer has a working printer, you can have a copy of it immediately. Cost?...ZERO.
Repeat: Any kind of map, and anywhere you want. If you have a working printer, it is yours immediately. Also, if you
want a certain part of the country, (like Yellowstone National Park) you can probably get that too immediately. No, I
haven't checked that out. Sorry.
Repeat: You can adjust the map immediately to any size. That is if you want a special neighborhood in a city, you
can have that immediately too. (If you know the name of the neighborhood and where it is) You can adjust the computer
to make it a large map of the entire city, or a small map of that neighborhood alone. In the days when you had to buy
maps (yes, I saved them) it might cost a lot to purchase the maps for the trip. Now, all you do is ...copy and print
a map you find at Google Search, and then print it and you have it. (Yes, any size and shape of any map, ANYWHERE
IN THE ENTIRE WORLD...

...OK, most anywhere, because some places are totally private and people who own those places find ways to stop
people looking for those places ...(No, I don't know that for sure, I assume that)
.... Computers have changed the map industry for everyone, anywhere, and any time.

I was wrong to post that one about pictures from other countries. I am sorry. I didn't...

mean to offend anyone.
The wording was totally wrong......
... It should have read.."See the U.S.A. we got some great places to see.
....Sorry again.

Elon Musk buying Twitter will destroy his fortune. All the publicity I've read is very bad.

Another one who was sure he could..."Bet Away With It"

No proof at this point, but lots of competition coming to Tesla.
Do you think he will be able to pay back the loans that he has gotten.

Maybe, Maybe Not ....we will see.

Donald Trump Jr.'s reaction to Paul Pelosi's attack shows exactly how low we have sunk

https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/31/politics/donald-trump-jr-paul-pelosi-reaction/index.html

This is an article found on the internet from CNN, at link above, written by Chris Cillizza

The attack on Paul Pelosi was terrifying. A man broke into the house of the 82-year-old husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the middle of the night and hit him with a hammer. Paul Pelosi suffered a fractured skull among other injuries. The intruder shouted, “where’s Nancy?”

Donald Trump Jr. appears to thinks it’s funny.

Late Sunday night, Trump Jr. shared an image on social media of a hammer and a pair of underwear with the words “Got my Paul Pelosi Halloween costume ready.” Trump Jr. wrote: “The Internet remains undefeated.” (Sidebar: I’m not going to share a link to Trump Jr.’s post. You can find it on the internet if you so choose.)

Which, even by the low standards set by the eldest son of former President Donald Trump, is egregiously bad. But, unfortunately, not unexpected.

Trump Jr., even more so than his famous father, has reveled in the idea that he is the king of the deplorables – someone willing to say and do things that other people want to but are too afraid. Trump Jr.’s MO has always been – as it likely will be for this incident – that he is just joking, and that people need to stop taking themselves so seriously. He’s the cool guy who doesn’t ever get offended while the rest of us are the squares who are forever on outrage watch.

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
