London on Fire

Education, kids, education...the bulk of the unrest in London has to do with the rioting kids...it's not a racial thing...the death of a "dark skinned kid" touched it off...but, here's the skinny...the reports have it as the NEET's...not employed, educated, or in training...Britain is thought of having this great educational system...fact is that 17% of their students drop out and flounder about...over 600,000 of them have never worked...thus...they then call out those who are...and say that the others are rich...voila, a series of unrest has developed...

The Stock Market...over 600 points down yesterday...most of it had to with the banking problems and credibility...yet, throughout the world, it seemed to affect every one else...look for a rebound today...at least, that's what I hope...

Beisbol...the Pads had this great streak broken...187 straight games they had won when leading in the 9th by 2 or more runs...Heath Bell, the closer, gave up 3 and blew the save and the streak...boo...the new set up guy, Chad Qualls, had another awful outing...he's not the answer Bud...
get this...Atlanta's 2B, Dan Uggla, has a 29 game hitting streak...which is very cool...BUT...he's only batting .220...what?  He must have bee hitting .050 when he started...
the Pirates go into SF and shut 'em out...what?
the Red Sox and the Yankees are on the tube...not really complaining, but Boston is on 3 or 4 times a week...

The NFL pre-season games start up Thursday...can you believe people actually bet on these?  News from the Bolts camp is mostly positive...the D seems to be ready...and outside of Ryan Mathews being out of shape...the O is good...now, about the special teams...

Where's the sun?

Peter-
Nice to see you are still educating the masses even if it isn't in a classroom.

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...
