The Golden Gate Is Not Gold

 Filipinos love a good riddle and answering crossword puzzles. Our desire to answer all the questions and completely finish the job gives us some kind of titillation, the need to continue and persevere until we accomplish the task. It tickles our brain cells, and we feel mighty proud once the cryptogram is decoded.

People ask why everybody loves Jessica Fletcher of Murder She Wrote? Or Ben Matlock or Jake and the Fatman.  Well,  they always solve mysteries.

Too bad, there are a lot of questions and mysteries out there that we may never learn the answers to their intriguing nature. The universe is far-reaching and its mysteries limitless, and there are many things that even geniuses have their arms raised upwards because they don't have answers to some of these queries. 

Let’s explore some of the questions that there are no answers to.

Question: Why is it called Golden Gate Bridge if it is not gold?

Answer: The name has nothing to do with the color.

While it's obvious today that the name isn't related to its color, many tourists assume that it was once gold. In fact, according to the website, “The term Golden Gate refers to the Golden Gate Strait which is the entrance to San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean.

The question has an answer obviously. 

Responding To Netizen's Reaction

Netizen:  US Supreme Court overturned Roe Vs Wade. Any comment?

Response:

It is a great morning for unborn babies.  

What a GREAT day to live in the US! Thank you AGAIN, Donald Trump, for appointing intelligent Judges who value the lives of children.

And for pro-abortion zealots, why resort to murder when you are just living a wanton way of life? Your narrative" This is my body anyway ... I can do anything I want as I please ..." is not in synch with Supreme Court's pro-life refrain.

Abortion to save the life of the mother is acceptable,  but resorting to abortion just because you are single and have enjoyed a decadent and licentious sexual freedom, come on ... abortion is murder. If you don't want to get pregnant ... why so reckless and so irresponsible.

Abortion is not a game ... so don't be thoughtless, incautious, and ill-advised! No matter what ... your decision will haunt you for as long as you live.

Quotable Quotes

 

Short Circuit

 

Four things stunning about the overturning of Roe vs Wade:

1. Stunning how Biden supports overturning Roe vs Wade in the '80s. The old man has evolved... or did he degenerate?

2. Stunning how Nancy Pelosi espouses "common sense decency is a radical agenda." And how sanctimonious she was talking about hypocrisy and bigotry.

3. Stunning how she said: that people will speak out in November. Yes, they will Nancy, and you will no longer be the majority speaker.

4. Stunning how the left will react to this. Will this be a summer of peaceful but gory protests or a summer lovefest with burning buildings as the backdrop in American major streets?
