Not many scam/spam calls on my end. Any unknown callers are ignored. If they leave a message (they usually don't) I'll listen to it, but usually the message is total silence. I think it's due to the nature of robocalls and how they respond to automated messaging.
Just in case I may have missed something, I'll do a search of those unknown numbers; they're often cable companies, cellphone companies, and often, real estate firms. There have been a few calls from a pediatric medical practice, which is baffling. I suspect they are all part of the modern marketing machine.
Mystery calls were more frequent when I first got my cellphone and my old number was carried over. I added those numbers to the "ignore" directory on the phone until it was filled up, and then saved them in the phone directory with names specifying a variation of "spam," like spamm, sspam, zspam, etc. I haven't gotten any calls from those numbers in a long time; I suspect that after a few attempts they give up and move on to another victim.

Of course it will be a simple matter for Kim Il Sung...
I don't get it. How does my reference to Kim Jong Un connect to his grandfather? This seems more than a simple brain fart, Uncle Ken.

Although I've been trying to ignore most of the news lately, a notice from the AP sneaked through. Our ever-optimistic president is hosting his first re-election fundraiser next week at one of his own hotels, of course. His obsession with money transcends greed, but this could be a ruse to raise money for the inevitable defense fund. If his lawyers are hiring their own lawyers you know something is afoot.

Carnivores, beware! There is a recently discovered tick in the northern states that causes an allergic reaction to bacon and red meat. Let me be the first crackpot to claim that it's an insidious plot by the Big Vegetarian lobby to destroy our way of life.
