The Slap Heard Around the World…
The way we look at it Chris Rock got exactly what he deserved, only it was delivered by the wrong person…
Is violence the answer, depends on who you talk to, Putin would say yes whereas a Buddhist Monk would say no…
Although, certain scriptures of monks have justified Violence due to the nature of the act…
All Will Smith did was defend the honor of his wife, but should he have been the one defending…
That’s where this gets tricky, because really it should have been Jaden throwing the slap on Chris…
Chris Rock is a punk, roasting people can be fun, but what Chris did wasn’t fun and in fact was a show of weakness on his part, which he is, weak that is…
Chris and Will were at odds with each other, so if Chris were a real man he would have stepped up and roasted Will, not Jaden…
Plus what Chris did was poke fun at someone’s disability, something she had no control over and we’re pretty sure that is frowned upon in this day and age…
Especially at the Oscars where they’re put in a spotlight and held to a higher standard than that…
Plus Will thought it was funny and can be seen laughing at what Chris said, it wasn’t until he saw the reaction from his wife is when he changed his tune…
However, at this point Will was feeling shame from his wife not anger at Chris, so this is one reason Will was wrong in his actions…
His actions came not from Chris, but that of disdain from his wife at laughing at her and making her feel uncomfortable…
The right thing he should have done was apologize to his wife then give Chris a dirty look which would have resonated with the crowd more than him slapping Chris…
Plus we believe in a fair fight, Will could mop the floor with Chris Rock there’s no challenge in it for him and that’s not Will Smiths character…
Will rises to the challenges of life that’s why he is in the position he is in today, he’s very successful and deservedly so…
Will you know that, and you should have held restraint, but coupled with your shame and the pent up anger you had toward Chris anyway from your constrained relationship brought out the worst in you…
Look we’re all fallible at times so your actions are understandable, but don’t keep beating yourself up about it Will and stop apologizing for it…
All you’re apologizing for is for your vanity, you’re more worried about your reputation than your wife’s condition that Chris exploited…
You should be apologizing to your wife and focusing on family and her healing from the sadness she is feeling…
The only person that should be publicly apologizing is Chris, and if Chris had a shred of dignity he’d be apologizing to Jaden for calling her out on something she has no control over, but instead you’re making a mockery of it…
You’ve taken your sick and twisted views of life’s disabilities and created a comedy act out of it, you fkn punk…
Chris Rock absolutely deserved to be slapped that night, but not by Will, but by Jaden instead…and that’s a fact!!

A Song for Griner…
Ozzy Osbourne Mama I’m Coming…
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K0siYUjV9UM
This cannot be the song of the month because it’s already been used. We apologize for our mistake we were in a hurry due to the fact we didn’t put out a song last month…
We do not repeat these songs so as to keep them original for the times…
We have mixed emotions about this exchange because the way we look at it, we’ve traded a pot head for a mass murderer…
Although this may sound harsh, it’s just that, how many people will pay for her mistake…
Although on the same hand nine years for a little dab was ridiculous and unfair, but most of us know it’s political…
…and why do WNBA players get to use marijuana, but NBA players don’t…the woman clause…
The other feeling we have is how stupid a person must be to go into a foreign country with drugs, she’s lucky to be alive because the penalty for drugs can be death…
We’re also torn on this issue because she hates America, but yet who’d she call when she needed help and who saved her…America, you’re welcome…
Is she an innocent, what is an innocent, let us use a quote from one of our favorite movies…
“You’re not looking at the Big Picture Stan. Here’s a scenario: You have the power to cure all the Worlds diseases but the price for this is that you must kill a single innocent child, could you kill that child, Stanley”…
The question is how do we know she’s an innocent, who determines what an innocent is and if you’re wrong what is the punishment…
Putin right now is laughing in his diaper knowing he won again showing the world that death and carnage trumps all…
Wars are Bankers wars, so you can count on the fact that someone orchestrated this War on humanity on Ukraine and Putin was just the means…
Hopefully Griner will rethink her absolutism about her ill will on a Country that saved her from a certain death sentence…
We still have a lot of work to do, but at least we’re talking about it, which is a lot more than we can say about other countries that would just rather kill you for opposing their agenda…
Welcome Back, Griner…

Here’s an idea…
Why don’t you stop making phones and start improving our connections…
We were standing outside a Best Buy and other technology companies and the best connection we had (outside) was two bars…TWO BARS!…
Sick and tired of having to put your phone in some certain area in order to get two bars…TWO BARS…lol…
5hVnz Point of View…
There is only one NCIS and it’s spelled…NCIS…
The LA’s, New Orleans, Hawaii, Red, Jag etc. etc. are nothing like NCIS…
NCIS the main NCIS series is the longest running show of the franchise and for a reason..it was the best…
The reason it was the best, is because of Mark Harmon, why, because he brought out the best in people…
The people that are on there now are just actors playing a part, there’s no naturalistic artistic beauty in the way they portray their roles…
McGee is one of the longest running characters on the show now and we’ve noticed he’s becoming a script reader like the other employees on the show…
He used to have a natural artistic beauty, but his boss left and he forgot all that he learned…
sidenote: we use their stage names because we know it’s just a show, it’s not real lol…
Nick Torrres for some reason we can’t seem to get over his 70’s show personality with the new one, so stereotypical…
Jessica Knight is the female version of Nick Torrres…
Jimmy Palmer kept some individuality in the new series, but he’s only one person, not enough to save the show…
Kasie Hines lol, no Abby Sciuto AT ALL, and not a great actor…
Leon Vance the replacement for Jennifer Shepard is also still on the show, was hard at first to get used to him after Jenny, but we grew to appreciate him..,
Now the real reason it SUCKS…is because you replaced Leroy Jethro Gibbs with…Gary Michael Cole aka Alden Parker…
First of all you needed to replace Gibbs with a Woman, you needed to replace Gibbs with a Woman, and did we mention you needed to replace Gibbs with a Woman…
Look we never missed an Episode of NCIS and after watching half of the first season of Alden Parker’s version of NCIS got us watching the originals from the beginning…
McGhee stop acting, stop being a verbatim screenplay reader down to the artificial emotions that are written for you to portray…
Get rid of Gary Michael Cole and maybe, just maybe we’ll give you another chance, but if you don’t mark these words, you’re shows audience will lose interest and the million dollar paychecks will stop…and that’s a fact…
**UPDATE**
So excuse us for pointing out a problem without a solution…
The replacement for Gibbs should have been…Abigail Borin Special Agent C.G.I.S first introduced in Jurisdiction Season 7 Episode 18…
She then reappeared in Season 8 Episode 11 Ships in the Night…
Then again in Season 9 Episode 5 Safe Harbor…
Then again in Season 10 Episode 4 Lost at Sea…
Then again in Season 11 Episode 6 Oil & Water…
”Semper Paratus”, Borin…
Then again in Season 12 Episode 5 The San Dominick…
Abigail transitioned over to NCIS: New Orleans which didn’t last to long, due to unaddressed safety issues on the show…
Come back to NCIS Abi and save the show pleeeeaaase…
Just saw the ratings for NCIS and they are lowww, no surprise there…
**UPDATE**
When Anthony Dinozo leaves the NCIS Season 12 #24 “Family First” is the announcement Season 13 #1 “Rogue” is the reality and Nick Torres debut…
McGhee looks like he went through a whole transformation really loving life now that Tony is gone…
…Hey Mcgetful, you’ll always be PROB to Tony, so stay humble…
Gibbs really struggled through these episodes, it looked as if he was going through the transformation himself, but on the downslope…
…but he’s Gibbs and being bad turned out to be a success, the new team is in place…
Ode’ to Leroy Jethro Gibbs…hmm hmmm hmm 🎶

5hVnz Book of the Month…
Ernest Hemingway

Its depiction of the existential disillusionment of the “ Lost Generation ” echoes his early short stories and his first major novel, The Sun Also Rises (1926). A Farewell to Arms is particularly notable for its autobiographical elements. Plot summary…

You Created the Monster…
Putin is a product of many, Russia has been labeled as the Evil Empire to many, when in fact they’re wrong…
If you continually accuse someone of doing something regardless if it’s true or not they’ll eventually become that person…
Putin has just become the monster you’ve called him for years…
In fact he said you called me a pariah so I might as well strike America…
In school all you’ll hear about is how England, France and of course America conquered Hitler, but this isn’t true…
Russia was the reason Hitlers band of cronies couldn’t succeed…
They also lost more people than any other country something like 20-30 million Russians…
We couldn’t imagine living under a communist rule where freedom of expression is not allowed…
But who are we to judge, it’s easy to pick and pry at something you know nothing about, other than what media tells us…
We recently wrote where Putin was a blood thirsty maniacal tyrant, but now we’ve chimed in with the name callers…
If we had to guess why Putin is doing what he’s doing we would say he is disappointed with Ukrainians…
Russia by land mass is huge, but their population or they’re Russian population is dwindling…
There’s no loyalty to the Russian way of life anymore, whether that be communist ruling or something else is merely speculative, but something is off…
What’s sad to us, aside from the countless loss of life, is the pathetic military and military equipment Russia has…
It’s laughable on how unprepared, unprofessional their military is, and is truly a sign of weakness to us…
What we don’t understand is why isn’t President Zelensky attacking Russia, they’re completely left wide open…
We’ve said it before, defense doesn’t win the game, defense just gives the offense more opportunities to succeed, but if offense isn’t advancing then your fate is inevitable…
So President Zelensky a piece of advice, strike or be struck…
However, there’s a better way to end this war and we feel the World owes it to the people of Russia…
The World needs to say in one voice, Thank You Russia for Conquering Hitler and Stalin and ending their horrific campaign…
Russia needs to be given the credit they deserve for WWII and apologize to them for not recognizing it sooner…
Thank you Russia and we’re sorry for taking so long to give you the accolades you deserve…
Unfortunately Putin you’ll still need to answer for the countless innocent lives you’ve murdered and the Russian soldiers you’ve put in harms way, in this life…or the next…and that’s a fact!!

5hVnz Song of the Month…
Glen Hansard - My Little Ruin (Session Acoustique)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bSxK7tw1VHI
This months song goes out to the people of Ukraine in the pursuit of saving democracy and their freedom from a blood thirsty maniacal tyrant…
Make no mistake, these heinous crimes against humanity are not the works of the Russian people, they are the blood thirsty deviants from Serbia…
Martial law has been implemented In Ukraine and means that 18-60 year old boys and men are being told they need to stay and fight…
Their World is being destroyed beyond repair all around them, losing their livelihood and yet they continue to fight knowing they have no support from anyone…
Putin has no respect for life anymore, because he’s dying. but believe it when we say it, dying or not he doesn’t have the balls to stand up to the International Community…
The surest way for Evil to prevail is for Good Men to do nothing…
If you were wondering where all the Real Men went, they can be found in Ukraine…and that’s a fact…

Where the Oscars Failed…
The Grammys did not…
The Oscars refused to allow President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to speak but the Grammys stepped up…
What Putin, not Russia, but Putin is doing to Ukraine is a sign of Impotence on his part, a sign of weakness in the art of negotiation…
We love Russia and didn’t know much about Putin other than his biography…
The sanctions that you are imposing on Russia won’t hurt Putin and his Oligarchs because they’re billionaires, they can afford it…
Sanctions only hurt the people of Russia and need to be lifted immediately…
You sit back because you’re too afraid to step up, thinking that your inaction is not a reaction, well think again…
You’ve supplied Zalenskyy with ammunition and money so you’ve involved yourself and the rest of us…
If you think Putin hasn’t noticed this as an act of aggression then you haven’t been paying attention…
You’re sitting back watching one man and his army of Soldiers like it’s Gerard Butler playing Leonidas in 300…
In fact there’s probably some sick f*cking Director/Producer hoping Zelenskyy dies on the battlefield so their movie about him will bring in lots of profits…
If you think Putin is going to stop at the Ukrainian border, you’re wrong, he’s demented, and wants it all…
He wants all that land, he sees weakness in the U.N. and NATO and has Gone Hitler…
You think he’s afraid of France? Lol, not in the least bit, and when push comes to shove he’ll get backers…
The World is Hangry, and War is here, it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when…
You can take a knee and beg or you can stand and fight..,

The Nawlins Po Boy…
A few years back we had a Po Boy from a local restaurant that come to find out was not a conventional Po Boy…
Years ago we had a Po Boy that was good and was our first Po Boy ever, and this was what they call a Traditional sandwich…
It was our first and was our last up until this modernized version we were blessed to have had…
This restaurant was all about New Orleans, or as they liked to call themselves, Nawlins (not the name of the restaurant)…
They had an incredible menu and everything they made was to perfection, ohhhh to per-fec-tion…
Unfortunately, we saw a flaw in their business design and knew they were going to go out of business…
Sure enough we had an insatiable appetite for their Shrimp Po Boy and went there only to find out they were out of business…
Not a surprise to us, obviously, a disappointment for sure and has left us salivating for a Po Boy ever since…
Time had passed, memories have faded and days have blended into another as they do, until one day…
A friend of ours told us about a hole in the wall Grocery/Deli that made Po Boys and we were alive once again..,
For two days all we thought about was this sandwich and even had to leave work early in order to make it there on time, but tragedy had struck again…
They had to close down the Deli, not because they couldn’t sell em, it was because they couldn’t find good help…
They had one girl that did more work than 4 guys could and when she had to leave the states is when he closed up shop and got rid of the 4 guys…
He’s not out of business, he’s just running the grocery store now, with 3 people he can trust and couldn’t be happier..
We’re happy for him, and he’s selling all the ingredients that he used in his Po Boy with recipes, that’s cool…
However, that doesn’t do us any good at the moment because he’s in restructuring mode and doesn’t have all the ingredients yet…
So a little bird told us about another restaurant in town that did Po Boys and the clouds lifted and the sun appeared once again…
This is when we realized why the first Po Boy didn’t really stand out to us as the best sandwich we’ve ever had…
It was good don’t get us wrong, just nothing really spectacular, fried crab, lettuce and tomato and mayonnaise yay…
What made the Nawlins place stand out to us is that they sautéed everything and the flavor was seared into it, you didn’t need to add a thing to it, it was perfect…
Look, we appreciate tradition to the craft, however, sometimes you need to expand your horizons a bit…
It’s simple really, you can only eat so much of the same before getting tired of it…
Sure, it’s nice to have familiarity and to go back to relive that experience you once shared with that meal, but sometimes the memory is better than the meal…
Example, we went back to a place we used to go to as a kid to have the rellenos that we loved then…
The ownership was the same and the siblings were now running the show and the menu was the same, but it just wasn’t as good as we remembered…
The same could be said about the Po Boy, but of course our first experience wasn’t memorable enough to want us wanting more, but the new version of this sandwich could be…
That is, if it doesn’t take us a lifetime to find it again…
Don’t be afraid of change, we’ve told you how to evolve and how to remain pertinent so embrace it, but never forget…
Until next time…

Talisman “The Lucky Charm”…
“Facemasks are not required, as no evidence is available on its usefulness to protect non-sick persons…
The author goes on to explain a myriad physiological dangers associated with mask wearing:
In addition to hypoxia and hypercapnia, breathing through facemask residues bacterial and germs components on the inner and outside layer of the facemask. These toxic components are repeatedly rebreathed back into the body, causing self-contamination. Breathing through facemasks also increases temperature and humidity in the space between the mouth and the mask, resulting in a release of toxic particles from the mask’s materials. A systematic literature review estimated that aerosol contamination levels of facemasks including 13 to 202,549 different viruses. Rebreathing contaminated air with high bacterial and toxic particle concentrations along with low O2 and high CO2 levels continuously challenge the body homeostasis, causing self-toxicity and immunosuppression…
And some psychological harms of masks:
As described earlier, wearing facemasks causing hypoxic and hypercapnic state that constantly challenges the normal homeostasis, and activates “fight or flight” stress response, an important survival mechanism in the human body. The acute stress response includes activation of nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, and the immune systems. These include activation of the limbic part of the brain, release stress hormones (adrenalin, neuro-adrenalin and cortisol), changes in blood flow distribution (vasodilation of peripheral blood vessels and vasoconstriction of visceral blood vessels) and activation of the immune system response (secretion of macrophages and natural killer cells). Encountering people who wear facemasks activates innate stress-fear emotion, which is fundamental to all humans in danger or life threatening situations, such as death or unknown, unpredictable outcome. While acute stress response (seconds to minutes) is an adaptive reaction to challenges and part of the survival mechanism, chronic and prolonged state of stress-fear is maladaptive and has detrimental effects on physical and mental health. The repeatedly or continuously activated stress-fear response causes the body to operate on survival mode, having sustained increase in blood pressure, pro-inflammatory state and immunosuppression…
And the conclusion:
The existing scientific evidences challenge the safety and efficacy of wearing facemask as preventive intervention for COVID-19. The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such as SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks…
Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects. These include hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, activation of fear and stress response, rise in stress hormones, immunosuppression, fatigue, headaches, decline in cognitive performance, predisposition for viral and infectious illnesses, chronic stress, anxiety and depression. Long-term consequences of wearing facemasks can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature death…
Anyone who thinks that “science” is settled after a year of implementation of a mechanism that ostensibly reduces disease spread does not understand the meaning of the word. Science is a process, by which new information and evidence are incorporated as they are discovered. Anthony Fauci and Andrew Cuomo are exploiting the term “science” to convey to the public that certain beliefs cannot be questioned”
Covid lawsuit
“The mandate exceeds the county’s powers under state law or is unconstitutional, that the mandate violates the right to privacy under the state Constitution, that the city’s practice of questioning those who request a religious exemption violates both the 1st Amendment and the mandate itself and must be ceased, and that the city can’t take an adverse employment action against city firefighters without providing them with an opportunity to challenge it”…
“And while science may predominantly dictate mitigation measures going forward, a variant that is less lethal is provoking a serious examination of whether broader questions deserve more emphasis in public health decision making”…
Stock Market Formula…
The media makes everything sound worse than it really is because they’re desperate for ratings…
The stock market has a formula that lets you know what risk the stock market is trading at…
It’s quite simple, under 100 is low, 100-200 is moderate and 200-300 is high…
Use this formula to determine for yourself the risk factor and stop listening to morons in the media…
Take the dollar index (DXY) pronounced Dixie, then multiply it by the 10 year bond index then divide it by 1.61…
The answer…144.17…
Now, don’t confuse Risk with Volatility, they are different and they have a measurement for that as well…
It’s called the VIX The Volatility Index and it’s currently at 21.67, that’s low, once it’s up around 50 is getting high…
Now you can make your own determination on how you invest “your” money…
Hope this helps…
Quote of the day…
“We, the people, will multiply the fires of resistance in a way that it will not be possible to repress all of us”
