Made in China

An article in the Trib made me think about what's been bugging me lately...the golf grip company, Lamkin, was talking up their product...about the necessity of changing the grips on your clubs more often...to adapt your grip to your, well, grips...and to pick either rubber or leather then..wait...their product is made in China...what?  It's where most golf clubs are made...what?  The "American Made" Callaways, Taylor Made, Ping, on and on...and I got to thinking...we pretty much bought all our furniture new for this condo...and EVERYTHING we bought was made in China ...different stores and suppliers, but all made in China ...so when we talk about the lack of jobs in the US, maybe, just maybe, we need to point our finger at our "American" businesses...always, just follow the money...the lobbyists allow our politicians to farm out these products...get into it and you'll be shocked...well, maybe not...
OK, I know I'm hard on the Bolt's management...and Norv Turner in particular...not a fan...but all indications that his boss lurvs him...garbage...
DWTS...for my dancing friends...I'm not sure who the front runner is...it does look like QB Warner is a goner...your girl, Bristol, didn't fall, thus...she was highly praised...oops, not a fan...
Are you excited about the upcoming World Series?  I like the Giants...well, in this series...
The 9 month NBA season starts today...go Blazers...talk about a long shot...who are the assistant coaches now?  I see the old ones all left...Heat at the Celts...a good starter...
The Gahrs just left...had a great time...
Man, my fantasy QB went down for a couple of months...T Romo...had won 4 in a row...and couldn't possibly lose the game...then poof, down he went...
Have I told you how much I hate the negative politician ads?  Or politicians themselves...

I came up with this myself so don't blame MSNBC or FOx. The middle class of america has been slipping economically for decades. Now we have a recession caused mainly by greed at all levels. Its all about jobs.They are gone and many not coming back. Why? Two things. Technology and international competiton. Both have eliminated jobs in america.Businesses exist solely to make profits. Cutting labor costs is one of the best ways. So it is in American Business interest to eliminate jobs and benefits whenever posssible. Small bisnesses create jobs, but those jobs don't pay much and have few benefits. Businses wnat tax breaks to help with profits not to create jobs.

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...
