TPP

Morning kids...and sometimes it happens...Horse gets caught up in the world of politics...this time he is baffled...TPP...Trans-Pacific Partnership...so it is called...you know what is going on?...here you go...

It's a bill that the Senate and the Prez are battling over...very confusing and lengthy...with add ons so it may turn the non-believers into those who do...in essence, it's the Demos who are blocking it...and the Prez wants it...the Demo Prez...

Prez O just last week went to Orygun to meet with Nike officials...that is what they are called, right?...or maybe the CEO and the rest of the brass...AND members of Congress...there, that's better...and discussed some parts of the bill...er, like the bill itself...seems like this has touched a very irritable spot that the only American made shoe company felt...here's the deal...there are so many arteries to this bill, it's near impossible to talk about in a single blog segment...

Age of the workers is a tiny part of it...breaks in taxes is somewhere...would boost global economy, and on and on...get this...

"We need to fundamentally renegotiate American trade agreements so that our largest export doesn't become decent-paying American jobs."...liberal Bernie Sanders...guess what side he is on?...

And so it goes...Asia and Europe are the base of our concerns...as that's where so many of our goods are made...and that's where the foundation of our marketing system lies...you think that this is confusing?...just ask a US Senator...

By the way, if this would pass the Senate, it has NO CHANCE in the House of Reps...let's have another beer...or bourbon...wait, you think that all of our problems stem from abroad?...the price of bourbon is rising...American made...and the reason given?...the demand is bigger, and yet, the distilleries don't have enough barrels...what?...c'mon China, can you please take some of our wood that we have shipped over...and turn some of it into barrels...and then ship them back to Tennessee...so we can have enough of the sweet stuff to drown our sorrows in...

Think about that, Senators!...now, it all makes sense to you...as you blokes and blokettes imbibe more than the average American...and it hits you right where it hurts most...right in your kisser!...

I rest my case...

Sports...what a horrible day for the favorites of mine...the Clip Joint mailed in their pathetic effort in Houston...from the get go...and let the Rockets win...sure seemed like it...and the Pads...gave up 4 in the 1st and it was a slaughter in Seattle...we had one bloke come up with the bases loaded twice...early on...and he (sub SS Barmes) came up empty...and the rout was on...and Buddy left our starter out to get hammered...he must have one of them master plans that I don't get...pass me some of that expensive bourbon, please...

Idol...as I feared...the best got knocked out again...the gal, Jax...the girls don't win this show...anymore...this time...two very average guys compete for the champ...and this time...it disgusts me more than ever...there is a reason for this to be canceled...

DWTS...and talk about ridiculous...there are three very good dancers in the event...and one very touching ex-soldier...and the sentimental vote won over...and the Olympian got the heave ho...hey, I have said this forever...they need to list the actual votes by the public...

I'll skip the finals...

What a terrible train wreck in Philly...have yet to hear the reason for it...as you know, we take the Amtrak quite often when traveling to Santa Barbara...should there be concerns?...  

Significant weather system coming...well now...it's not like in the PNW...but it does create chaos on these streets...and much needed water...will be here on Friday...the 1st day of the T out at Sycuan...we will play THAT by ear...the actual counting rounds are on the weekend...and the "storm" will have passed...no problem...

And that's the way it is, on this fine day...Wednesday, May 13...is it OK to have some Jack Daniels on my cereal?....I'm out of milk...

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...
