E-Mail Problem Trying To Remove A Bad Address

E-Mail Problem Trying To Remove A Bad Address

03/04/2023 Score Card Comments 0 Comment

I had a significant failure with my two e-mail applications, Microsoft Exchange and Apple Mail.  The problem started when a friend of mine retired from his job and I was told that I can no longer send him any e-mail to that business e-mail address.  I deleted his entry in my computer for that business address.  But, that was not the complete solution.  The problem with Microsoft Exchange and Apple Mail is when I wanted to send my friend an e-mail, I was presented with his home e-mail address and his business e-mail address.  Why?  The reason is that both mail applications, it seems, scans all the prior e-mail from my friend to find all his addresses.  These applications, it seems, fail to ONLY pull up the address from Contacts.  The solution that I came up with was to use both e-mail applications and do a search for all the mail from my friend.  I then selected only the e-mail that was addressed to his work and deleted all those messages. As a check, I performed a search for my friends name and Mac Mail was ok but Exchange was not.  Exchange showed a small warning that more e-mails could be on the server.   Exchange allowed me to view those messages and  I deleted them.  That seemed to be the solution.  It would be really nice for those e-mail applications to include an option to only show addresses to people that are within my Contacts application.  Now I did discover that Mac Mail does have an interesting option.  Go into Mac Mail > Settings > Rule > then make a rule to delete any e-mail from the person.  Next shows the menu options and correct answers:

Description:
If any of the following conditions are met:   From contains E-mail address of person.
Perform the following actions:  Delete Message.

Why President Joe Biden Should Run For Another Term

Why President Joe Biden Should Run For Another Term

02/25/2023 Score Card Comments 0 Comment

Opinion

Why President Joe Biden should run for another term:

  • Biden works for the betterment of all Americans.
  • He Is not a showman, like Trump.
  • He respects Democracy.
  • He performs for the best interests of all.  He is serious about his mission.
  • He is knowledgeable beyond the norm.  He understands the United States form of government and most of it’s intricacy’s. He knows how to work the political system.
  • He works hard and effectively with other politicians and foreign leaders.

A near perfect opposite comparison is about 20% of Americans watch Fox (Propaganda) News channel.  These citizens are being lied to at times by FOX. These people apparently favor showmanship over the truth.  They are easily hoodwinked.  Biden seems to fail this group of citizens because Biden really lacks the bull shit  factor, lacks showmanship, lacks telling lies and he makes his deliveries more like a college professor and not like a live stage actor.

What is really wrong are politicians who strut the stage, lie to achieve gain, are believed more than a more honest politician because of the stage presentation.  Citizens simply are rather stupid who fall for this stage act.

Biden’s attributes are somewhat hidden and less appreciated from the less sophisticated citizen.

During politically lighter times it might make sense for a political party to offer up a presidential candidate that does not have years of experience.  The Democratic Party right now seems to not have any solid and convincing person to take the presidential position.  So this is one more reason to stay with President Joe Biden.  Our world wide political environment today is somewhat harsh and challenging. 

Summary: Biden and the Democratic Party understand the importance and operation of Democracy and will work to protect this form of government because it is constructed to work for all Americans.  Republicans work for big business, the ultra wealthy, and will even use Fascist methods at times to achieve political gains.  Republicans realize they look to be corrupt by some citizens and this motivates some of them to make desperate and stupid political decisions on and off the stage.

Aside: Democrats have taken possession of the major portion of the positive political pie leaving the Republicans trying desperately to achieve political gains.

The Republican Party lacks real excellent leadership that will turn its objectives away from being agents for the plutocracy and work for ALL citizens and not the very rich.

The plutocracy class of citizens appear to be successful at making money and work just as hard to keep their wealth by any means.  This self centered attitude is a major flaw for good honest politics that works best for a well functioning Democracy.  An expanding plutocracy is a flaw for achieving a well functioning government that works for all citizens.  The flaw is these people fail to realize that the United States has driven down a rather rough road and improved it’s product for the vast population of citizens because they, the rather selfish  plutocracy, has not been allowed to take over the process.

What Is The Attraction Of Fascism?

What Is The Attraction Of Fascism?

02/15/2023 Score Card Comments 0 Comment

Some Factors Of Fascism:

  • You can be ignorant of history and thus fail to understand how your decisions and operations might not work.
  • You can have very little compassion for the interests, health and welfare of others.  You are self centered intellectually.
  • You think your decisions are more important.
  • You are attracted, enticed, with what little you know about former fascism elements and governments and how they are wrong for societies.  You may be attracted to having tight control and not understand you loose society input.
  • You understand that your abilities working from within a democracy are rather pale.  Less chance for success when you have to work within an intelligent group of people.
  • Fascism might be seen as the best method for rather quick political gain and maintaining your gains.
  • Fascism is usually attractive for the insecure individual.
  • Self centered and selfish intentions planning and actions can more easily be started to finish under this form of dictatorship.
  • Fascism officially controls information release to the public including truth and lies as a means to control the political situation.
  • Fascism is believing my ethnic, religious group, is superior and my group should get more politics and legal rights than other groups.

Fascism is Against:

  • Free speech.
  • A free press.
  • Equal freedom.
  • Equal legal process and protection.
  • Racial equality.
  • Liberalism.

Fascism Supports:

  • Self centered interests.
  • Inequality.
  • Discrimination.
  • Nationalism.
  • Racial purity.
  • Democracy almost requires, thrives, with a population that has a good education.  Fascism seems to flourishes within a low education population.
  • Fascism, in some instances, exists in countries that has varied ethnic groups that make gaining political consensus difficult.

Other Factors:

  • Government by the wealthy, plutocracy, typically supports Fascism because the wealthy do not want to include a broader class of the population.
  • Fascists are usually homophobic or showing dislike or prejudice against gay people.

Summary:  Fascism is an attraction for some people that are self centered, selfish, ignorant, conniving, insecure, etc.

My daughter, for Christmas 2022, gave me an utterly stupendous, surprise gift.  It was a surprise because I had never heard about this product before, Jessie’s Nutty Cups Handcrafted Peanut Butter Cups.  It was a surprise because the contents tasted utterly fantastic.  I love peanut butter but the peanut butter flavor seems to be way less pronounced when eating each candy.  The whole candy is a sort of gestalt  experience in that the whole candy, for me, was way more than the sum of each component of chocolate, peanut butter and any specific add on for that candy piece.   I had lost seven pounds of weight due to contracting COVID.  I totally lost my self discipline by not eating ONE candy after diner but TWO.  And, I even had a candy after my lunch which I normally would never do before.  I rather quickly put back on the seven pounds of weight and have gone over my normal weight due to this candy.  So, let me warn you, be forewarned, if you are anything like me, this candy is somewhat dangerous.

Evaluation of the Republican Party, 2023

Opinion
Note:   This article is not complete and over time more information may be provided because this subject is huge and changing.

  • Republicans seem to fail to appreciate how much better democracy is than any other form of government.  Quite a few are willing to embrace Fascism. 
  • Conservatives seem to lack having a good education because they have some pretty unhinged political beliefs that point back to them making well unreasoned political decisions.

“Highly-educated people increasingly identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party.”

  • If Republicans had a good education, they seem to lack the ability to put it to work by organizing what is important and what does not matter much.  History is full of teaching relationships which seem lost with much of the Republican Party.

“Results confirm that conservatives have lower sensitivity than liberals, performing worse at distinguishing truths and falsehoods.”

 “American conservatives are more likely than liberals to hold misperceptions.”

  • Conservatives have difficulty accepting anyone who looks different then themselves when measured by looking in the mirror.  Quite a few Republicans live in white only communities and these conservatives do not feel comfortable around anyone who does not look and talk like themselves.  This is one reason for their bias against immigration and minority aid.

“Research has shown that voters who favor Republicans are more likely to hold racial biases against people of color.”

  • The rich have learned how to not pay taxes thus getting more wealthy.  One reason for this is the tax code is somewhat flawed.  Gains from long-term investments, such as from stock sales, are taxed at a lower rate.  The rich then use their wealth to pay politicians for tax lowering favors.  Democrats were the ones who were most interested in a higher tax burden for the wealthy.
  • For some rather stupid reason Republicans think that there should be a smaller role for the federal government.  A huge county like the United States requires a lot of government administration and support for it’s citizens.   Larger government costs more and the wealthy class of Republicans want to pay as little in taxes as possible.  But they utterly fail to realize that every citizen pays taxes (they pay less) and government is in business of serving the needs of all citizens as equally as possible and differentiating some services according to need. 

“According to a 2021 White House study, the wealthiest 400 billionaire families in the US paid an average federal individual tax rate of just 8.2 percent. For comparison, the average American taxpayer in the same year paid 13 percent.”

  • They think government should function for the betterment of the rich class of people and not spend money for the general population by paying for Medicare and Social Security.

Republicans keep asking that Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid be funded less or done away with.  Problem is that the citizens of the United States have already paid into those three insurance plans:

Social Security Disability Insurance is a payroll tax-funded federal insurance program of the United States government.

Medicare Insurance is a government national health insurance program in the United States.  Medicare is funded by the Social Security Administration. Which means it’s funded by taxpayers.

Medicaid Insurance is a federal and state program that helps with healthcare costs for some people with limited income and resources. The program is funded jointly by states and the federal government.

Opinion

Th Freedom Caucus grew out of the former Tea Party.

Big government, created the modern American middle-class but the super rich viewed many of the FDR legislative solutions for this transformation as a threat.  These self centered group of retards wanted to dismantle the hugely successful country of the USA thus diminishing it’s democracy. 

“We can either have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can’t have both,” said Associate Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis.

Currently the United States is ranked number 4, almost at the top of the US News and World Report ranking.  In 2021 the USA was ranked 6.  The USA top ranked, #1 categories are “Power” and “Agility”.

Here is a rough list of Tea Party’s political agenda items that reads like a list written by stupid, not fully developed, selfish, uneducated people that will surely diminish the success of this nation if any come to be accomplished:

  • The repeal of federal campaign finance laws.
  • The immediate abolition of the Federal Election Commission.
  • Abolition of Medicare and Medicaid programs.
  • Oppose any compulsory insurance or tax-supported plan to provide health services, including those which finance abortion services.
  • Favor the deregulation of the medical insurance industry.
  • Repeal the Social Security system.  Social Security should be made voluntary.
  • Abolition of the governmental Postal Service.
  • Oppose all personal and corporate income taxation, including capital gains taxes.
  • Repeal of all taxation.
  • All criminal and civil sanctions against tax evasion should be terminated immediately.
  • Repeal of minimum wage laws.
  • Complete separation of education and State.
  • Government ownership, operation, regulation, and subsidy of schools and colleges should be ended.
  • Condemn compulsory education laws.
  • Repeal of all taxes on the income or property of private schools, whether profit or non-profit.
  • Abolition of the Environmental Protection Agency.
  • Abolition of the Department of Energy.
  • Dissolution of the Department of Transportation.
  • America’s railroad system should revert to private ownership.
  • We call for the privatization of the public roads and national highway system.
  • Oppose laws requiring an individual to buy or use so-called ‘self-protection’ equipment such as safety belts, air bags, or crash helmets.
  • Abolition of the Federal Aviation Administration.
  • Abolition of the Food and Drug Administration.
  • End to all subsidies for child-bearing built into our present laws.
  • Oppose all government welfare, relief projects, and ‘aid to the poor’ programs.
  • The privatization of the inland waterways, and of the distribution system that brings water to industry, agriculture and households.
  • Repeal of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
  • Abolition of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
  • Repeal of all state usury laws.”

Today, the Freedom Caucus is also promoting these changes:

  • Eliminate metal detectors for entry into the house of Congress.
  • Eliminate the Ethics Committee.
  • Defund the FBI.
  • Reduce the funding for the IRS so the really wealthy individuals will not have their tax returns audited.
