Back To Normal

Such a welcome relief...sunshine!...and makes your day seem a lot brighter, right?...at least for this day...rumors abound that the wet stuff returns for a bout tomorrow...egads, pass us by, mother nature...enough is enough...

The final season of American Idol started up this week...and the producers interlaced nostalgia throughout...doesn't seem that long ago, that Kelly Clarkson, was tabbed as THE American Idol...and so it went...with all of it's cute parts, and it's frustrating ones...the judging, which brought about the negative as a positive...well...it made Simon Cowell a household name...and rich...and he was bigger than the singing...interestingly, he isn't mentioned much now...and the secretive voting process...my bugaboo...but...it did bring us one of the best singers in the world, Carrie Underwood...

So off we go onto the journey...it is a cool premise...and this set of judges have been retained...JLo, Keith Urban, and Harry Connick (jr)...the shows were fun...the talent seems real young...and we will watch them grow...last season I was bored with it...so far, am feeling the opposite...

Powerball...you buy these?...it's going bonkers...it's like up to $700 million...your odds are off the chart...however, for a mere $2 ( I think)...you, too, could become rich rich rich...that is of course, after taxes...for me, the odds are better to win the Pick 6 at Santa Anita...hmmm...but not for the amount that is being raffled off...late breaking, Powerball is up to $800 million...

Your boy, the Donald...is staying stable at up 17% over the next bloke, Rafael (Ted) Cruz...and the other side is down to two...Hilz and Bernie...with her having the lead...ho hum...time for some real debacle to surface...I feel it...

After giving my pix for the playoffs yesterday, I gandered at the pundits version...they were similar...I have 3 visitors winning...never a safe choice...and am betting against the Skins...let's be serious here, I could miss all 4...and the champ game?...solid pick...and probably boring...

Now, for some real humor...the Trib was giving it's grade for the departing Charger Organization...today...and it's a hoot, kids...like giving the crew of the Titanic an evaluation right before it sank...the ownership is a joke and pathetic...and thus, everything beneath them is so far below acceptable levels, that it has to be awful to work for them...they fired 6 asst coaches, and yet retained the head coach...these are blokes he brought in...has he no shame?...run, don't walk, Carson...

The stock market...a bit of a rebound...talked to my money man, Jon..."hang in there" was the advice...there will be a jump...if anyone has a clue, you are da man...no clue...

I have the best deal of all for our annual stay in Maui...they have given me the same rate for the last 10+ years...I commit to 2 weeks...in September...love that place...you know, maybe we will look at 6 month leases there...hmmm...

The Golden Globes was an absolute joke...without a doubt, the worst of all of these odious award shows...how do I really feel?...OOOOOOPS...major flaw in this...thanks Sis Jill for the head's up...it was the People's Choice Awards...still awful...

Too bad our tee time isn't today...it's beautiful...

And, for you Elvis fans...it's his birthday...cheers...

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...
