First, the emails! Then the headline!
There seemed to be, somewhat, shadowy words in the emails, and something else, too, with the way they were written…
Maybe you’ve gotten emails, like these:
For some security reasons, To help protect your account(s) from unauthorized access, We have upgrade our security system by added a new security features to provide more protection for you Mobile and Online Banking…
That’s exactly how an email appeared in my computer. It was in ‘junk mail.’
Another email, starting out with “Dear User,” said I have some “Annual plan” that I do not have. And that I could click on a tab in the email, or call, to check billing information for the phantom plan.
Putting aside the syntax, grammar, and such, in the emails — since even the nation’s most recent former president wrestled with syntax, and such, when he was tweeting – you’ve got to wonder about emails like the ones that landed in my ‘junk mail.’
Later, online on my phone, ‘comically evil’ flashed up in headline news about Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Both names are familiar to me… Ms. Boebert’s, in particular, since she’s the Colorado congresswoman who’s been in the news quite a lot.
Reps Boebert and Greene “were the only two to vote against a bill to help sick people get vital tissue transplants,” according to an article in LGBTQ Nation. “It’s the kind of bill that Democrats and Republicans can agree on, and most did. 215 Democrats and 200 Republicans… Only Greene and Boebert broke ranks and voted against it.”
And speaking of Ms. Greene, a Georgia congressional representative, she and Congressman “Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) are planning to launch a House caucus based on ‘uniquely Anglo-Saxon’ (read: ‘white people’) traditions.” This “has GOP leaders and Democrats protesting the embrace of blatant racism by some in the chamber,” according to Politico.
Remember a while back, when I was toying around with “the world’s next, best cuss word,” in a Daily Post essay, the word ‘caucus,’ with an adjective like ‘flaming’ preceding it?
So maybe ‘flaming Anglo-Saxon caucus?’ Would that do, for what the two congressional Reps are working on?
