A very good message.

It's not a joke or funny, but I think this video is definitely worth seeing.

This short video has music, but its really not necessary.

And it's short to boot. Something to think about.

Journalism in a nutshell...

The 13 Greatest Reads

1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.

2. The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country.

3. The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the

country, and who are very good at crossword puzzles.

4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country

but don't really understand The New York Times.

5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind running

the country, if they could find the time and if they didn't have to leave

Southern California to do it.

6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the

country.

7. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren't too sure

who's running the country and don't really care as long as they can get

a seat on the train.

8. The New York Post is read by people who don't care who is running

the country as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably

while intoxicated.

9. The Chicago Tribune is read by people who are in prison who once

ran the state, and would like to do so again, as would their constituents

who are currently free on bail.

10. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another

country, but need the baseball scores.

11. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't sure

if there is a country or that anyone is running it; but if so, they oppose

all that they stand for. There are occasional exceptions if the leaders

are gay, handicapped, minority, feminist, atheists, and those who also

happen to be illegal aliens from any other country or galaxy, provided

of course, that they are not Republicans.

12. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the

grocery store.

13. The Seattle Times is read by people who have recently caught

a fish and need something to wrap it in.

And remember… Mark Twain once said, “Those who do not read

the newspaper are uninformed. Those who do read a newspaper are misinformed.”

Soviet soldiers on the march in northern

Korea in October of 1945. Japan had ruled the Korean peninsula for 35 years, until

the end of World War II. At that time,

Allied leaders decided to temporarily

occupy the country until elections could

be held and a government established.

Soviet forces occupied the north,

while U.S. . forces occupied the south.

The planned elections did not take place,

as the Soviet Union established a

communist state in North Korea, and the

U.S. set up a pro-western state in South

Korea - each state claiming to be

sovereign over the entire peninsula.

This standoff led to the Korean War in

1950, which ended in 1953 with the

signing of an armistice -- but, to this day,

the two countries are still technically at

war with each other. (Waralbum.ru) #

Communist Party (CPC) had waged war

against the ruling Kuomintang

(KMT or Chinese Nationalist Party)

since 1927, vying for control of China .

Japanese invasions during World War II

forced the two sides to put most of their

struggles aside to fight a common foreign

foe -- though they did still fight each

other from time to time.

After World War II ended, and the Soviet

Union pulled out of Manchuria, full scale

civil war erupted in China in June of 1946. The KMT eventually was defeated, with

millions retreating to Taiwan ,

as CPC leader Mao Zedong established

the People's Republic of China in 1949.

Kissinger on Trump

zephyr — Fri, 16 Feb 2018 14:47:46 +0900

Recently , Henry Kissinger did an interview and said very

amazing things regarding President Trump, He starts with:

“Donald Trump is a phenomenon that foreign countries haven’t

seen.”

The former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger gives us a new

understanding of President Donald Trump’s foreign policy

and predicts its success:

“Liberals and all those who favor (Hillary) Clinton will never

admit it. They will never admit that he is the one true leader.

The man is doing changes like never before and does all of it

for the sake of this nation’s people.

After eight years of tyranny, we finally see a difference.”

Kissinger knows it and he continues with: “Every country now

has to consider two things:

One, their perception that the previous president,

or the outgoing president, basically withdrew America from

international politics, so that they had to make their own

assessments of their necessities.

And secondly, that there is a new president who’s asking

a lot of unfamiliar questions.

And because of the combination of the partial vacuum and

the new questions, one could imagine that something

remarkable and new emerges out of it.”

Then Kissinger puts it bluntly: “Trump puts America and its

people first. This is why people love him and this is why he will

remain in charge for so long.

There is not a single thing wrong with him and people need to

open their eyes.”

When he boasts that he has a “bigger red button” than Kim

Jung Un does, he so transcends the mealy-mouthed rhetoric

of the past that he forces a new recognition of American power.

Kissinger once wrote, “The weak grow strong by effrontery.

The strong grow weak through inhibition.”

No sentence better captures the U.S.-North Korea relationship.

Trump is discarding the inhibitions and call the bluff on North

Korea’s effrontery.

His point is that the contrast of American retreat under Obama

and its new assertion of power under Trump creates a new

dynamic that every one of our allies and of our enemies must

consider.

Our allies grew complaisant with Obama’s passivity and now are

fearful due to Trump’s activism. And they must balance the two

in developing their policies.

They realize that the old assumptions, catalyzed by Bush 43’s

preoccupation with Iraq and Obama’s refusal to lead are obsolete.

So, Trump is forcing a new calculus with a new power behind

American interests.

Those — here and abroad — who rode the old apple cart worry

about its being toppled.

But, as Kissinger so boldly states, Trump “is the one true leader”

in world affairs and he is forcing policy changes that put America

first.

How the fight started...............

zephyr — Fri, 9 Feb 2018 12:00:03 +0900

One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot

as a Christmas gift.

The next year, I didn't buy her a gift.

When she asked me why, I replied,

"Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"

And that's how the fight started.....
_____________________________

My wife and I were watching "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire"

while we were in bed.

I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have sex?'

'No,' she answered.

I then said, 'Is that your final answer?'

She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..'

So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."

And that's when the fight started...
_____________________________

I took my wife to a restaurant.

The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.

"I'll have the rump steak, rare, please."

He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"

"Nah, she can order for herself."

And that's when the fight started.....
_____________________________

My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion,

and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as

he sat alone at a nearby table.

I asked her, "Do you know him?"

"Yes", she sighed,

"He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking right after

we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober

since."

"My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on

celebrating that long?"

And then the fight started...
_____________________________

When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept

hinting to me that I should get it fixed.

But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first,

the shed, the boat, making beer. Always something more important

to me. Finally, she thought of a clever way to make her point.

When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass,

busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors.

I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house.

I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her

a toothbrush.

I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well

sweep the driveway."

The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp…
_____________________________

My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels.

She asked, "What's on TV?"

I said, "Dust."

And then the fight started...
_____________________________

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our forthcoming

anniversary. She said, "I want something shiny that goes

from 0 to 225 in about 2 seconds." I bought her bathroom scales.

And then the fight started......
_____________________________

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply

for Social Security.

The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license

to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left

my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but

I would have to go home and come back later.

The woman said, "Unbutton your shirt." So I opened my shirt

revealing my curly silver hair. She said, "That silver hair on your

chest is proof enough for me", and she processed my Social

Security application.

When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience

at the Social Security office.

She said, "You should have dropped your pants.

You might have got disability too."

And then the fight started...
_____________________________

My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.

She was not happy with what she saw and said to me,

"I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me

a compliment."

I replied, "Your eyesight's perfect."

And then the fight started.......
_____________________________

I rear-ended a car this morning ... the start of a REALLY bad day!

The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!!

He looked up at me and said "I am NOT happy!"

So I said, "Well, which one ARE you then?"

That's how the fight started

Squirrels in Church

zephyr — Sun, 4 Feb 2018 07:28:41 +0900

The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about

their squirrel infestation. After much prayer and consideration, they
concluded the squirrels were predestined to be there and they
shouldn't interfere with God's divine will.

At the Baptist church the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistery.
The deacons met and decided to put a water-slide on the baptistery and
let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and,
unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim so twice as many
squirrels showed up the following week.

The Lutheran church decided that they were not in a position to harm
any of God's creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and
set them free near the Baptist Church. Two weeks later the squirrels
were back when the Baptists took down the water-slide.

But the Catholic church came up with a very creative strategy! They
baptized all the squirrels and made them members of the church. Now
they only see them at Christmas and Easter.

Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue; they took the first
squirrel and circumcised him. They haven't seen a squirrel since.

woodpecker

zephyr — Fri, 12 Jan 2018 19:13:33 +0900

A Mexican woodpecker and a Canadian woodpecker were in Mexico

arguing about which country had the toughest trees. The Mexican

woodpecker claimed Mexico had a tree that no woodpecker could peck.

The Canadian woodpecker accepted his challenge and promptly pecked a hole in the tree with no problem.

The Mexican woodpecker was amazed.

The Canadian woodpecker then challenged the Mexican woodpecker to peck a tree in Canada that was absolutely 'impeckable' (a term frequently used by woodpeckers ). The Mexican woodpecker expressed confidence that he could do it and accepted the challenge.

The two flew to Canada where the Mexican woodpecker successfully

pecked the so-called 'impeckable' tree almost without breaking a sweat.

Both woodpeckers were now terribly confused.

How is it that the Canadian woodpecker was able to peck the Mexican

tree, and the Mexican woodpecker was able to peck the Canadian tree,

yet neither was able to peck the tree in their own country?

After much woodpecker pondering,

they both came to the same conclusion: Apparently, your pecker gets

harder when you're away from home.

IRISH TALKING CLOCK

zephyr — Thu, 6 Jul 2017 17:28:58 +0900

After closing time at the bar, a drunk was proudly

showing off his new apartment to a couple of his

friends. He led the way to his bedroom where there

was a big brass gong and a mallet.

'What's that big brass gong?' one of the guests asked..

'It's not a gong. It's a talking clock,' the drunk replied.

'A talking clock? Seriously?' asked his astonished friend.

'YUP, it is' replied the drunk.

'How's it work?' the friend asked, squinting at it.

'Watch,' the drunk replied. He picked up the mallet,

gave the gong an ear-shattering pound and stepped

back.

The three stood looking at one another for a moment...

Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall

screamed,

'You ASSHOLE! It's 3:15 in the MORNING!'

HAPPY FATHERS DAY

zephyr — Sun, 18 Jun 2017 18:36:20 +0900

Car Salesman

A retired older couple returned to a Mercedes dealership where

the salesman has just sold the car they had been interested in

to a beautiful, leggy, busty blonde in a mini skirt and a halter top.

The old man was visibly upset. He spoke to the salesman sharply,

"Young man, I thought you said you would hold that car till we raised

the $55,000 asking price. Yet I just overheard you closed the deal for

$45,000 to the lovely young lady there. And if I remember right, you

had insisted there was no way you could discount this model."

The salesman took a deep breath, cleared his throat and reached for

a large glass of water. "Well, what can I tell you? She had the cash

ready, didn't need any financing help, and, Sir, just look at her,

how could I resist?", replied the grinning salesman sheepishly.

Just then the young woman approached the senior couple and gave

the car keys to the old man.

"There you go," she said. "I told you I could get that idiot to lower

the price. See you later Dad, Happy Father's day."

Once again . . . don't mess with seniors!

The Robotic Car

zephyr — Wed, 17 May 2017 19:40:18 +0900

A man ordered for a voice automated robot car that

does anything he tells it to do correctly without any

error.

He got the car and started sending it on errands.

He became very proud of what the car could do

without mistakes.

One day, he was home and his wife told him to

tell the car to go and pick the children from school

as she was very tired.

The man agreed and said to the car...
“Car, go and bring my children from school.”

The car went and didn't return in time as expected,

they knew something must be wrong.

Several hours later and no car, the man became

apprehensive.

He dressed up and got ready to lodge a report

at the police station.

As he and his wife stepped outside they saw

the car coming with an overload of children.

The car parked right in front of them and said...

"These are your children sir..!"

In the car were their Landlady's two daughters,

his wife's best friend's daughter, his secretary's son

and their neighbours two sons.

The Wife in full anger...
“Don't tell me all these are your children..??”

The man asked her calmly...
First you tell me why our children are not in the car..??
