Sporty Saturday

And when have you had such a action packed Saturday for all type of sport?...been awhile...and pretty much will find your choice of one, or many...for moi, it was the Derby...

As the fav, American Pharaoh, pulled out a thrilling stretch drive to narrowly beat one of my long shots...ah yes...so I hit the Exacta, and $10 across the board on Firing Line...and made some cash, my friends...both these jockeys are from SoCal...the back to back winner, Victor Espinoza...and the elder stud, Gary Stevens...cheers!...

The Clip Joint did the upset...and beat SA in a barn burner...two very good teams playing like it was the champ game...this would not have happened if the league didn't have the ridiculous division winner clause...which put the Blazers in the upper tier of the bracket, even though they had a much poorer record...I'm sure the owners will change this...back to the game...when it came down to the real deal...CP III hit the winning shot, on a fallaway one foot banker...as he was hobbled most of the 2nd half...great drama...and LA moves on...and the returning champs, the Spurs, are done...

The Fight...like I have said all along...I don't care...and that is not the sentiment of so many people...who couldn't help but catch the battle...somewhere...everywhere...anywhere...really surprises me...as the sport of boxing has been replaced by the battle royal thing...MMA, or something like that...which I don't care for, either...oh yea, Floyd beat Manny...ho hum...

Lost in all this...where the Americans ( and others) flocked to their favorite event...was the Pads winning yet again versus the Rockies...and securing the series...go today for the sweep...a nooner...and have to admit, the timely hitting is nice to see...even though we have not dominated the league, we are a work in process...and keep getting better...I have to continue to tell myself this...I want to win them all...play 'em one at a time...

Finally...today...Cris and I play in the alumni golf tourney in LA...takes a couple of hours to get there...and it's a fun event...as we have won it 3 times...out of 7 that we were there...at Los Serranos...a very long course...whew!...

Sports!...

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...
