Question about an item in a credit report

I recently ordered a copy of my credit report from Equifax. Everything was fine, no questions about what was there except a couple addresses that my ex had after we split. Nothing worth worrying about.......
Until I get to the section where you see the soft hits that don't affect your score.
There were two entries in 2021 by Pentagon, in Alexandria VA. There was a phone number listed which I called and it was not in service.

Does anyone have a reasonable or at least humorous explanation?

Imagine being Russia, wanting to buy a Democrat, and only being able to afford Tulsi Gabbard.

Smooches Gracias

For the hearts. Sometimes you never know how much you need something until you receive it.

From the bottom of my heart. Thank you!

Ahmed Arbery Trial

Am I the only one that thinks this testimony by defendant, Travis McMichael is a disaster.

"I'm highly trained to diffuse volatile situations." Also, "He reached toward his waistband. I assumed it was a weapon and I was freaked out" "I went back home and was still freaked out"

Also trained in proper handling of firearms but his truck seat was so new that his shotgun slid off the seat on to the floorboard so he couldn't reach it if he wanted to.

My dad's health is bad after a stroke and hip replacement but when he told me to grab my gun so we can chase down a suspect, I did it.

All of his testimony has to do with assumptions about Mr. Aubery.
Assumed he was armed
Assumed he was stealing
The victim wouldn't answer my questions and kept running so that made me suspicious.

If the prosecutor doesn't chew this guy up and make him account line for line for each of his mistaken assumptions and all his illogical reasoning for approaching Mr. Aubrey in the first place.

Random thoughts about Christianity


Maybe Jesus hasn't returned because he sees all the crosses and crucifixes as a warning.

If they actually found the body of Jesus would they cancel Easter?

If God made Adam from dust and Eve from Adam's rib, did they have belly buttons?


That is all. Back to work.

There are two kinds of people

Those who walk away saying, "I wish I had said.............." and those who walk away saying, "I probably shouldn't have said.........."

I'm definitely in the latter category. Sometimes my brain kicks in, convinces my mouth to join and before you know it, some smart ass or sarcastic thing flies out and I often think, ooooh, I shouldn't have said that. Except this time...........

Flash to this past Saturday. Had to be in Florida for MIL's medical procedure. She lives near The Villages and we had to go there for her appointment, after which we stopped at a Starbucks on one of the squares. As we were leaving, an HOA of Karens were gathering on the sidewalk. They were wearing flag hats, holding up signs and handing out fliers. Even without hearing them, you just knew. As I walked by, I heard the Q-speak. Masks don't work, Dr. Fauci is wrong, vaccines are bad. blah blah blah. barf barf barf

Walking by I said out loud to no one in particular, "When did America get so stupid? And not just stupid but stand on the sidewalk holding signs proudly announcing your stupidity, stupid." (for the record, I was saying "stupid" in my best Julia Sugarbaker indignation tone; "STYUPID", super cathartic)

My car was parked in front of a restaurant next to the storefront where the HOA had gathered. As I turned to open my car door, I notice a lady on the patio of the restaurant with her phone out, I assume, videotaping the Karens. Then she did it. She encouraged me. She gave me a thumbs up. Well, I turned back to look at Team Q and saw one holding the sign, "My Body, My Choice". Did I mention my brain and mouth often go rogue? So that happened. I pointed at her and started shouting, "OMG, SHE'S PRO ABORTION. MY BODY MY CHOICE, THAT'S PRO ABORTION".

Swear to the Universe she had the most confused look on her face before looking at her sign, turning to her co-Karen and in the most distraught tone of voice and body language, cried, "NOOOO, THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS MEANS".

Now I'm practically howling and I'm in my car and here comes smarmy face Karen with her bless your heart you just need to learn the truth attitude. I stopped her in her tracks with, "I believe in science. Dr. Fauci was an expert on viral diseases long before your Lord and Savior, Donald John Trump revealed himself to you. And as I finished I backed out of my parking spot and at the top of my lungs shouted GOD BLESS THE SCIENTISTS, GOD BLESS THE SCIENTISTS, GOD BLESS THE SCIENTISTS.

I look over at the lady on the patio, who was now laughing hysterically, and as I drove off I gave her a thumbs up. This time, I drove away saying, "I'm so glad I said............."

So actually, there are three kinds of people.

As for the GQP response

I thought Clayton Bigsby represented his party perfectly.

I have an idea............

What if we start PhotoShopping "ANTIFA" over the Trump & Maga gear for the still-wanted fugitives of the Capitol Insurrection?

We could enlist MAGA unwittingly in finding and exposing the traitors.
