Why Georgia Voters Should Vote Democrat

Why Georgia Voters Should Vote Democrat

Comments 1 comment

The current United States government is effectively a  plutocracy that works for the wealthy class of individuals and neglects the less well off citizens. 

The United States has for a very long time shown an ever widening gap between the rich and less well off citizens. 

It should stand to reason to vote for political office candidates that are NOT rich.  Wealthy individuals seem to look out for their own business interests first if not always.   This often times conflict with the interests for the majority of less well off Americans.

A major current component of this situation is that the US Senate is comprised of the rich.  “More than half of those in Congress are millionaires”.   Most in Congress act to benefit only the wealthy and not the overall general public.

The two current GOP Georgia candidates are wealthy.

This is a very good reason for Georgia voters to vote for Democratic candidates to help more of their citizens in these difficult times.

  • John Ossoff. (net worth is between $2.3 million and $8.8 million)
  • Raphael Warnock.  (Net worth: Between $555,014 and $1.3 million)

Another good reason for Georgia voters to vote Democratic is that Republicans are allegedly too self centered and selfish to care for all Georgia people.  For example, as of December 29, 2020 the US government Republicans have blocked the $2,000 stimulus needed by a vast number of citizens to properly survive which, once again, highlights the incompetence of that party to serve the needs of all our citizens.

Christian Bible:  Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves.

My California drivers license was due to expire July 2020 but I was sent a letter from the DMV, June 5, 2020, extending the expiration of the license to November 2020.  This was obviously due to the pandemic.  I expected to take a written exam and also behind the wheel test.  I spent two days studying for the DMV written exam.  There are 6 California practice exams on line. 

I went to the DMV, arrived just before 2 pm.  I wanted to check the DMV situation out one day prior to getting there early to start the process.  My daughter told me to get there early.  I was planning to arrive real early the next morning to avoid crowds.  I saw a very long line off to the side of the DMV building extending into the parking lot.  There were two easy ups canopies tied together at the head of the line where two DMV people were sitting at a table.  I went to the easy ups to ask how long it would take.  One of the DMV persons at the easy up asked if I was over 60.  I was given a paper and was told to go to the entrance of the DMV and started the process.  I got my license in just under one hour.  No written test.  No behind the wheel driving test.  I am SHOCKED!  This includes real ID for air travel!  Incredible!  

I then get my new drivers license with the real ID mailed to me in just 12 days!  YIKES – INCREDIBLE!

Information Reporting Web Sites Are Not Recommended Unless You Are Really Careful.

 

Be careful of web sites that give you information for homes and cars.   They may lead to monthly payments.  Pay particular attention to the cost.  I personally do NOT trust the these web sites because I do not remember agreeing to monthly payments.

ON LINE HOME CHECKS

I noticed that I had a charge that came up every month that I did not expect. It appeared on my credit card statement as follows: ONLINEHOMECHECKSCOM 866-2037898 UT

When you try to get a report on a property you have TWO options.  Make sure you choose wisely. The option that I though I had selected was one report for $1.  I am sure that is what I selected.  That is NOT what took place.

I was charged $18.95 each month.  I must have tried to find the value of a house at some time in the past but by asking for the value of the house I inadvertently subscribed to their monthly service.  I had to call their number 800-704-9751 to talk to a person who stopped this charge.

  • I had to call and give the person answering the phone the last 4 digits of my credit card.
  • I then had to give my name.
  • I had to give the e-mail address that I used.
  • I then asked to have the service stopped.

Pittsburgh Post Gazette newspaper endorses Trump for allegedly flawed reasons.

Pittsburgh Post Gazette newspaper endorses Trump for allegedly flawed reasons.

Comments 0 Comment

The Editorial Board of the Pittsburg Post-Gazette, October 31, 2020, endorsed Donald Trump to continue being the president of the United States in the article titled:

The man and the record

They listed a lot of reasons for their endorsement but almost all were, allegedly, false when fact checking their claims.  Following are some major reasons they listed:

“Under Donald Trump the economy, pre-COVID, boomed, like no time since the 1950s.”

WRONG: “… growth in Trump’s initial three years in office was 2.5 percent — barely above Obama and well below the growth under the Clinton, Reagan and Johnson administrations.”

_____

“Unemployment for Black Americans is lower than it has ever been, under any president of either party.”

Wrong:  Under Obama the black unemployment rate started at 12.7% and slowly improved down to 7.5% which equals 5.2% improvement.  Trump’s administration kept this improvement going from 7.5% down to 5.4% which equals a 2.1% improvement, less than half as the Obama administration accomplished.

_____

“Under Mr. Trump, our trade relationships have vastly improved and our trade deals have been rewritten.”

Wrong: “President Donald Trump is painting a false picture of a U.S. economy unaffected by his trade war with China and other countries.”

_____

“He has put America first, just as he said he would.”

Wrong: “Instead of putting America first, he has put Donald first.”

_____

“He also kept his promise to appoint originalists to the Supreme Court of the United States. His third appointment, Amy Coney Barrett, is the best of all — a jurist whose mind and character and scholarship ARE first class.”

Wrong:  “… the nation now suffers a president, a Senate and a Supreme Court that do not represent the views or wishes of a majority of our people.”

“We may soon learn whether Justice Barrett is the independent jurist who strictly and honorably follows the law, or whether she will bring the court into further disrepute as the American people increasingly see it as simply another partisan branch of government.”

_____

“Under Mr. Trump the United States achieved energy independence for the first time in the lifetimes of most of us.”

Wrong:  “It is true that in the final months of 2019, “the US gradually moved into being a net exporter of crude and products,” he said, meaning the country exports more than it imports.”

“But the US is still importing 7 million barrels per day of crude and more than a million barrels of refined products,”

“United States is not yet strictly speaking energy independent”

 

Conclusion:  If you perform an Internet search to find out if this newspaper is biased or not you should discover that it is right leaning.  From this posting example, one might also draw the conclusion that this newspaper is allegedly dishonest at a time in our history that we really need clarity and honesty.

October 27, 2020, I ordered this book:  SHADOW NETWORK: MEDIA, MONEY, AND THE SECRET HUB OF THE RADICAL RIGHT by Anne Nelson, hard back.  I was under the impression that the book would arrive in just a few days.  October 29, I checked my order to find out that it had not shipped but would arrive November 26!  YIKES!  That is almost a whole month to wait for the book.  I quickly went back to peruse the Internet and made sure that my Google browser had “Shopping” selected followed by “Show only,” “Available nearby”.  Barnes and Noble showed up as having limited stock.  I called the store and they did have the book and told me to refer to their Barnes and Noble web site price which was a few dollars less.  I have a Barnes and Noble card which should also give me a discount.  In every case, up to now, Amazon delivers items I purchase within a few days but not this item.  I am paying more but I really want to read this book.

Android Phone Fails To Send Pictures Using The Gallery Share Function

Android Phone Fails To Send Pictures Using The Gallery Share Function

Every time I would take a picture with my Android LG-V30 cell phone and then send that image to a friend or family member, using the Gallery share function, the image would NOT be sent.

When viewing the photo you just took in Gallery, you will see a number of menu options just below the image you just took.  The menu items are as follows:  Memo, Related, Edit Share, Delete.  The menu I use to send my photos to a person is Share.  When I choose Share a new screen pops up with the title “Share via.  Tap to send images, music, videos, etc to nearby devices wirelessly”.  Below this screen menu are icons showing small images of my most popular people that I communicate with and below that are a huge selection of applications you can use.  

I always choose the icon images of family and friends and seldom go down to Messaging or Email choices.  But this would fail to work until I made the following change.

Solution:  Settings > General > Apps & Notifications > App Info. > Gallery > Data Usage > (Turn this next setting ON) Unrestricted data usage.

This worked for me.  I know it did because shortly after sending my first image I got a quick thank you response from the person I sent the picture and text to.  Also, the image and my text, that I had just sent, kept showing in Messaging application and did not disappear.
