Not just the USA, other countries are falling apart.

 I have been watching the news (not American as its just propaganda) about other countries and the problems they are having after allowing massive immigration into their countries. 

Most European countries, Australia, New Zeeland, most of the 1st world countries except Japan who REFUSED to participate in that massive migration. I see why. They have limited space and already have a large population.

But these other countries and the USA are suffering now due to uncontrolled immigration, and allowing illegals to stay in their countries. Crime rates going up. People can't have nice things. No respect of personal property.  People used to be able to leave things in their yards and vehicles. Not anymore. In many areas it is not uncommon to find someone walking door to door in a neighborhood checking out peoples cars and trucks in the middle of the night and taking things. Evidence of this is from the growing number of people using security cameras and doorbell cameras. Package theft is a big problem now so people started getting doorbell cameras and started catching the people doing it. Other times these security cameras capture people looking in cars or the backs of trucks or even worse - going into a persons yard, thru a closed gate to take things that do not belong to them. 

Most but not all of these crooks are illegal immigrants. The remaining tend to be druggies looking for fast cash to pay for their habit.  Some are just habitual criminals. In some countries, homeowners have no rights to stop them or do anything other than lock their property up as best they can. 

This is why we just cannot have nice things anymore. Too many people walking around thinking its ok to take things that do not belong to them as long as they do not get caught. 

Here in the USA, some states allow you to shoot the thieves.  Others allow it only if they break into your home and cross the threshold.  I think every home owner who can capture the theft on video should have the right to shoot, without repercussion. Doing so would eliminate a lot of repeat offenders.  But the anti gun lobby is fiercely fighting that. 

Now we have cities where people are shop lifting at an unbelievable rates. Stores are pulling out of those cities. Cops are not allowed to arrest and prosecute them. Store policies do not allow employees to stop and detain the shop lifters. 

And in some other cities, cops are now being told NOT to do foot chases to apprehend criminals. Which means the crook and just run away and not worry about being arrested.  

In many places, cops aren't even enforcing traffic laws.  Defund the cops is a big political issue and cops are tired of risking their lives for little pay. Many are reluctant to get involved in the arrest of people resisting arrest out of fear if they make even a minor mistake which could end up with them facing a trial in court. 

Some police departments are finding it hard to recruit new people as the aging population starts retiring and officers at retirement are getting out as soon as they can. All due to the negative political pressure being put on police. 

This is destroying our civilization from within. Uncontrolled immigration and lack of proper policing. This leads to chaos and the enemies of freedom are the only winners. 

The Environmental impact of sending just one un-needed letter is ?

 Ok all you Environmental extremists and Greenies out there.  I need your help. And believe it or not, I am one of you, just not as extreme as some of you. 

Can anyone tell me the environmental cost of sending just one worthless, un needed letter? 

I am talking from the very start. The harvesting of the trees to make the paper, the fuel used to run the tree harvester, to haul the tree to the processing plant, the processing/paper plant, the transport of the paper to the printer, the printers impact, the trans port of the printed products (paper and envelopes) mailing it, fuel for the postal deliver trucks, everything.. 

I really would like to know because I just received the most useless unneeded letter from a utility company informing me my utility bill may go up 1 dollar per month this summer! 

Now multiply that by the thousands of other customers who got the same or similar letters, and this is why we have environmental crises going on.   Un needed junk mail is a major pollutant. It is second, in my humble opinion to non recycled plastics. 

So if anyone could answer this, I would appreciate it.

Bingo Drive sucks.

The Facebook game now just plain sucks.

What used to be the premier game of all bingo games on Facebook and probably on line, Bingo Drive  started out as a really cool game.  But now it just sucks. Its become a torture to play this game every day, as it has become a pay to win game, with Gliding Deer Inc the owners being too greedy. 

At first you could win enough credits to keep going as you slowly made your way thru all the nation maps.  

The game revolves around assembling a puzzle. You win pieces by winning bingos. Each puzzle piece contained part of the picture and a description about the "theme" of that puzzle.  Complete the puzzle and you get a big reward.  First they started with a world tour. Each continent had a series of games. Each game had its own puzzle. 

Then each year they added something new.

Holiday games like Christmas, Easter, St. Paddys day, etc. and with these games came some unusual ways of getting a bingo. It wasn't just straight line bingo, or 4 corner bingo. Some games required you uncover 5 reindeer (in any location on that card) to get a bingo. Or 5 potion bottles (for the Halloween games), or treasure chests for the pirate games. Others required birds fly from the top of the card down to the bottom. Another required Christmas presents to drop from the top to bottom and yet another one contained cookies some with cream on them that had to be hit twice before they cleared out. First hit cleared the cream, then another number was below it. Very difficult to get bingos in that one.

Then they came out with Weekend Race. Then the daily winter race. 

THEN they came out with "spookies" and chests. Get a bingo with a chest and win a spookie. Collect all the spookies in a collection of 10 themes, and win a prize. Finish all 10 themes and get a jackpot prize.  And you could trade some spookies and puzzle pieces with buddies to help you finish your collections.  There was a daily buddy gift part of this where you could send a gift of coins, chips, power ups (low level) or Free spins to a buddy.  

They gave out daily chips too, and on their page posted ways to get even more freebies. The game has power ups so you can increase your chance of getting a bingo. It also has auto daub - for a price. 

The object of winning bingos, getting bingo chips and coins,  all while playing the game was very attractive to a lot of people, Chips pay for bingo cars. Coins buy power ups and pay for auto daub.

Some games only used coins, and not bingo chips.  Nice twist to the game.

Over the years they increased the maximum daily bingo chips to 96. However this last year things changed in a very bad way. 

2 years ago they introduced boosting. Spookie chests now came in 4 colors, orange, blue, violet and pink. Some spookies were extremely rare and could not be traded and the only way to win them was thru a pink chest.  To boost your spookie, you paid more per game. 

A game would start out with 4 cards, and orange chest, and 1 puzzle piece among the 4 cards.  For example, each card cost 2 chips for a total of 8 chips for a 4 card round. For a blue chest you paid 16 chips or double the original price, and there were 2 blue chests and 2 possible puzzle pieces to win. The Violet chest cost you 24 credits, and gave you 3 chests and 3 puzzles. And last the Pink chest cost you 32 credits, up to 4 pink chests and 4 puzzle pieces. Getting a puzzle piece still required you get a bingo. 

And it was harder to win puzzle pieces. If you only paid for boost 1, only the top 2 rows of a 15 piece puzzle would show up in the puzzle cards. If you collected 4 of one, you could trade up to the next piece.  If you boosted, you had a better chance of seeing the higher number puzzle pieces. 

And of course all the time they kept pushing buying more bingo chips and coins from them at ridiculous prices.  And this got worse each year. 

It used to be that you could win enough to keep going, and keep up with new games coming out every month. 

But this year it all changed. They introduced ranking. At first you could only trade with someone of your own rank, and it did not allow trades between say a 2 ranked person and a 6 rank person. This killed off the buddy incentive and trading of puzzle pieces and they lost a lot of people over this.

Then they increased the price of each game base on your rank. A 2 ranked person pays standard price of 12 or more credits for each 4 card round at boost 1. A 8 ranked person pays 60 credits per 4 card round at boost 1 and still only collects 96 credits per day. This means you cannot even afford to play 2 rounds per day unless you manage somehow to win credits - or buy them. 

Also, winning any kind of bingo became harder. Then they started pumping out games, a new one every other week and people cannot keep up. All the time they push buying their bingo chips and coins. But people will not because too many did buy them only to see them wasted away due to the fact that getting any bingo, let alone one with a puzzle, became so difficult. 

People are spending 2 and 3,000 bingo chips on new maps and only getting 3 puzzle pieces. It is very frustrating to them, and its why many are walking away from the game. 

Now we have people who save up bingo chips for a week and only play 1 day a week, because its all they can afford. Many have simply quit the game. They came here to play bingo, not head games about how to collect overpriced bingo chips. And its getting worse.

At 60 credits a round, I save up for a week the play about 8 to 10 rounds in 30 minutes and I am out of credits for another week.  Ptthhhhhhhh!

That is why Bingo drive now SUCKS. They do not listen to the players. They are only interested in forcing you to buy their chips and coins.  Too bad.. There really isn't anything else comparable on face book to compete with them.  Oh well. When enough people leave the game, maybe they will start to listen to the remaining players. Or maybe they will just shut down; which is what they should do now.

I am tired of Stupid Americans.

 And I am sure the rest of the world is too.

Tired of all these 3rd world immigrants that refuse to embrace their new country, and instead of  melting into it, are trying to change it to the 3rd world sh*t hole they just escaped. 

Tired of Ignorant Americans claiming Corporations pay no taxes, when they pay the vast majority of the taxes. The truth is most American citizens do not owe any income tax at all, yet are fooled into paying it by the US Treasury Department's poorly trained people.

I am tired of stupid peasants who are jealous of people who take the time to learn the nations and their state tax laws so they can take advantage of every loop hole and deduction available to them. 

Tired of lazy people who think health care is a right. If it requires the services of another, it is not a right. These same ignorant people think health care can be free - because they are too stupid to know the government will increase taxes to pay for it. And soon we will be waiting in line for weeks for simple x-rays the way they do in Canada and other such places that have national health care.  

Tired of lifer congress people who are out of touch with every day life in America. 4 years in congress and they accomplish nothing.  We need term limits.

I am tired of people complaining about the rules, then try to change the rules in the middle of the game. They do not want to play by the "rule book" unless its in their favor. They do not want an equally fair competition. To them if they are losing, its not fair, even if its by the established and agreed upon rules.

I am also tired of Politicians who are Bar card carrying lawyers, who ignore our written laws, and are never held accountable. These people need to be arrested, charged, and when convicted, have their law licenses pulled.  Written Statute law overrides, anything any public official says.  If what they say violates the law they SHOULD know, they need to be held accountable in a proper court of law. 

In December 2020, our nations leaders both on a federal and on the state levels proved beyond any doubt that we have the most incompetent, most useless government leaders of any known nation, when they all refused and/or failed to demand verification of their states election results.

The only result we the people have, is we now have proof that our votes really do NOT count. So why bother voting? I sent my voter registration card back last week. 

We now have a village idiot sitting in the white house with a clear case of dementia running the country. WOW.. How could that ever happen in a properly ran mature country?  

Fact is folks, the USA I grew up in, the USA I was taught to respect, to fight for, to leave to my children and grand children, no longer exists.  We are united in name only. We have become like every other 2nd world failure country.  Already those who put the current group of village idiots into power are complaining about them.   Ha ha. I hope you get what you voted for.

My eyes are slowly going dark and soon I will be making the crossing to the next reality. So I won't have to stick around and see the terrible devastation this group is going to impose on this country. I will be in a better place.

You people had your chance.. You blew it..  now don't come crying to the rest of us; we told you this would happen. 

Major issue with HP Ink jet printers.

 If you have a HP Inkjet printer, and use printing sparingly, you need to pay attention to this major(?) flaw with HP printers.

Ink Jets need to be used, to be printed at least 2 pages of text or one good picture every 2 or 3 weeks. Failure to do this leads to the ink drying up inside the print head which in most cases, is not replaceable and you end up replacing the entire printer.  And they are not cheap. 

If you get the dreaded "There is a problem with the print head" error, with no error code, there is a 99% chance this is what has happened and it will cost you bucks.

HP Printer error "There is a problem with the print head"

 Officejet 6968 less than 2 years old, less than 3 reams of paper ran thru it, 4th set of inks that are less than a month old. And since the last windows 10 update, I am getting an error of  "there is a problem with the print head" with no error code.

HP website says its time to replace the printer.  This means it was JUNK to begin with.  

Not at all happy with HP printers if this is the standard of their quality. 

Yep, America is racist and here is the proof and the source of most of it : Main Stream Media.

Ya know, I spent most of my life living with people from different ancestry lines. I am Scott-Irish. I have family that has  Polish, Dutch, Latino, Italian, French, German, Asian, and others in their ancestral linage. Don't know if we have any African yet, but it would not surprise me if we do, as we seem to have everything else.

A person's color of their skin has never mattered to me, because I grew up with people of all different colors. Different hair color, eye color, skin color. Some sunburn fast, some tan nicely some never tan at all. We are all different as individuals yet are still family.  Some have straight hair, some have curly hair, some have kinky hair and a few guys have NO hair!.. and they are family.

So I see main stream media constantly pushing racism on us. Why? If America is the great melting pot, and we are all equals, what does it matter what a persons skin color is? A crook is a crook. A criminal is a criminal. A good person is a good person.  

It is the main stream media that is creating and causing all these problems with their constant pushing of their idea of racism.   It is their constant reporting of "black folks" being "oppressed" by white people. Ignore the fact that many of these so called "black criminals" that we never see in the news, are arrested and taken to jail by "black" Police officers.. yet that is not racist at all. Only when someone who is "white" or European ancestry is involved, does it become racist. The media never claims its about the law, and always claims it is about keeping the minority down.  

Such hypocrites. Why? Because 95 percent of the time its just one minority group. The "blacks" that are being "put down" and reported on.  This is the main stream media narrative and it is intended to create strife and destroy unity among the people of this great country.

So yes there is Institutionalized Racism in America - and it all starts with Main Stream Media.
