Reading news requires “more reading.” For days, most that I read are Left-wing media exalting the Midterms “victory” of the Democrats. Yet the numbers, today: Senate: Red 49, Blue 48. House: Red 217, Blue 205. Governor: Red 25, Blue 24. Tight race; GOP leads. Yet while there’s not much talk about the loss of popular Blue rep Stacey Abrams, shaming royale hit Republicans who lost. Whoever wins, my issues: War, inflation, mass shootings. End it, fix it! 🤨🗣👥
A subtle kind of racism that pervades here, there, and everywhere: When other people, especially those from perceived “poor” countries, are categorically dismissed, treated, or ignored as dumb, clueless, or “backward.” You see, the Uber driver could be a former finance minister in Egypt; the gardener was a doctor in Laos; the subway busker was a physicist in Cuba; the Red Lobster kitchen help was an English teacher in India. Yet they opt to stay quiet and refuse to argue. 🤨🗣👥
Simple Minds isn’t happy with the success of “Breakfast Club,” the 1985 film where the Scottish band’s “Don’t You (Forget About Me” was the theme song. Fact is, the John Hughes movie pumped up the song to #1. As of July 2022, the video with clips from the movie, had been viewed more than 240 million times. Whiners for more attention? Like John Lydon a.k.a. Johnny Rotten whining about “Pistol.” How many suddenly clicked Sex Pistols after viewing the Hulu series? 🥺🎼😭
Never I’ve been so annoyed with following election results till this Midterms. How media drive, muzzle, and push you to their preferred “insight” of who actually won, regardless of the tally numbers—is irritating. Raw figure, 11/12/2022: Red leads Blue albeit very close. So call it that way. Very close. But no, coverage is opinionated-nasty, self-righteous, misleading. This election is a showcase of how America widened its divide in a bonanza of partisanship hate. 😏🗽😒
The “antisemitic book, docu” that Kyrie Irving got in trouble with are now bestsellers on Amazon. Sales of most recent “banned” book “Maus” by Art Spiegelman soared 753 percent in 1 month, following the hoopla. You dig? Anyhow, pro/anti thoughts by people are fine with me. Life. What pisses me off is when giant corporations trumpet that they cut their endorser/s because they “stepped over the line.” Come on, Nike! You’ve been stepping over line for decades! 🤨🗣👥
Basketball is the Philippines’ top sport pastime. In the 1930s, the country of my birth was #3 in world ranking in basketball (yes!) Till we deteriorated. The Philippines’ performance in the last FIBA was the worst that I’ve ever seen! Again, we are vying for a slot in the next FIBA and possibly, Olympics. What country watches the NBA the most? The Philippines! 63 percent! Hmmm. We watch basketball as a community. No politics talk in front of basketball. No way! ?⛹️🇵🇭
Midterms. Republicans win the House. Senate, a tight race. Some politicians of either side, who are only “good” for online flash or internet “fame,” lost. Good. The GOP victory is not supermajority. Traditionally, that is fine for participatory democracy. But with the current schism of hate, not good. Weakens America and Washington loses clout, globally. Yet only half of the U.S. vote. Doesn’t matter. No need for a referendum on today’s economy. Clear as daytime. 🗽🇺🇸🗽
