Lean On Me


Sports builds unity...a cry that practically every coach who has the team in their repertoire shouts out to anyone who'd listen...how being part of a team makes you a better individual...that if you have faith in what we do it will get you through...the tough times...believe in the lord...there is no I in team...act like you've been there before...how can you let down your team mates?...well, football teams are the biggest culprits...mainly due to having so many guys on their teams...and there are so many ways to motivate...
I just saw a piece on this very same topic...the USC Trojans have been using the '72 song by Bill Withers, "Lean On Me"...thing is the rookies have to sing a song in their hazing period of becoming a part of the team...and that's what he sang...the Coach, Pete Carroll, took it one step further and invited Withers himself to a team meeting...punked them as he posed as a NCAA official...turns out to be a huge building block...cool stuff
The mighty Padres were nursing another victory into the 9th last night...leading 1-0 as Heath Bell entered to close out the game...not so fast my friend...turns out the bases were loaded, two outs, and...two strikes...check swing that appeared to be the third strike and game over...wait, the 1st base ump says no swing...next pitch, bases clearing double...game over...and a loss...
OK, Dux fans...can the team rebound and beat a punchless Purdue group out of the Big Ten? The pundits say yes...I'm not so sure...
The Beavers have the test of playing in the desert...should be able to pull it out...
Don't look now, but Tiger is in the lead at the BMW in the next to last event in the PGA playoffs...??? still have no idea how it's decided...
Enjoy your very own TEAM!!!

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
