SO TRUE, SO TRUE. A FEW VISUAL REMINDERS OF TODAYS GOP.

 




CONSUMER ALERT: Southcoast Health Urgent Care.

 



As I have done in the past, if I am subject to a Very Negative Consumer Experience in the Marketplace, I report it here.

Southcoast Health Urgent Care

Located in Seekonk, Mass.

Although it sounds like I was there for an emergency, I was not.
I had never been there before, and it was just to receive a physical 
examination to address certain concerns. However, the Vile and Repugnant
behavior of the admitting staff was what I would have expected if I was entering
Prison as a Convicted Felon. There was no examination, I was handed back my
Insurance Card after I dared to question a specific company policy that could have written
by a fourth-grade intellect.

If you think I am biased, they have Google Ratings by patients who rate them between 1-5 stars.
Check it out, I should have done it, but the close proximity to my home, (5 minutes at the most), caused me to let my guard down. Live and Learn.

FACT CHECKING TRUMP, AND ANYONE ELSE. PART 1.



FACT CHECKING- Evaluating a Factual Claim or Assertion of Truth for its validity,

and whether or not it can be relied upon to provide a satisfactory conclusion or judgment about 

the Reality of any Given Subject. 


It is up to those making such Claims or Assertions to provide Testable and Examinable Information or 

Evidence to back up any such STATEMENT OF TRUTH.


Donald Trumps personal opinion is of no value without factual data that can back up what he is claiming.

For that matter neither is anyone elses, BUT HE IS THE ONE MAKING A

FACTUAL ASSERTION/CONCLUSION ABOUT THE 2020 ELECTION.


However, so far any Evidence he has provided has been revealed to be Faulty, Incorrect, or

Useless* in backing up his opinions. He and his Allies have lost every single Court Case.

When proper Intellectual Scrutiny is applied, TRUMP HAS NOTHING...NOTHING SUPPORTING

HIS ACCUSATIONS.


If you believe he is being treated unfairly: HOW? If you believe other Politicians are not subject to the

same standards, provide examples. Remember, there is a big difference between saying the following: 

"I BELIEVE RATES OF UNEMPLOYMENT, INFLATION, CRIME, etc ARE CAUSED BY THESE FACTORS." (Relays Information that can be checked)

and

 "I BELIEVE UNEMPLOYMENT, INFLATION, CRIME, etc ARE CAUSED BY THIS  (POLITICIAN, PARTY), DESIRE TO CHEAT OR HARM THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.


TO BE CONTINUED...

" THE DESRICK ON YANDRO." SOME CLASSIC FICTION HITS THE MARK, AND WE SHOULD PAY ATTENTION.

                                                                 PICTURE FROM PODTAIL.


EXCERPTS FROM THE STORY "THE DESRICK ON YANDRO."

BY MANLY WADE WELLMAN.

(TWO MEN CLIMB A HILL CALLED YANDRO. THE HILL HAS A DESRICK

LOCATED AT THE TOP. YET BOTH MEN ARE VERY DIFFERENT. THESE ARE TAKEN FROM THE

END OF THE STORY.)



"That's it," puffed Mr. Yandro. "The desrick."


I looked at him then, and knew what most he wanted on this earth. He wanted to be boss. Money was just something to greaten him. His idea of greatness was bigness. He wanted to do all the talking, and have everybody else do the listening. He had his eyes hung on that desrick, and he licked his lips, like a cat over a dish of cream.


"Let's go in," he said.


"Not where I'm not invited," I told him, as flatly as anybody could ever tell him. "I said I'd come to the top. This is the top."


"Come with me," he said. "My name's Yandro. This mountain's name is Yandro. I can buy and sell every man, woman and child in this part of the country. If I say it's all right to go into a house, it's all right to go into a house."


He meant that thing. The world and everybody in it was just there to let him walk on. He took a step toward the desrick...Mr. Yandro snorted at me, to show how small he reckoned me because I held back, and he headed toward the big door."If she's there, she'll show me the gold," he said.


=====================================================================



A few observations about the Narrators companion.



He wants to be boss.


A Man who wants to do the talking, and everyone

else do the listening.


If he says it's all right...it's all right. 



Take these observations for what you will.
