The Newest Year

2016...and so we go...how is this one going to fair?...what trials and tribulations are on the horizon?...some obvious ones...probably no greater than who we elect as our next Prez...sure, other things are important...and will be dependent on that person...the normal, albeit awful, the way terror is handled...the list goes on...but today...is the day...that Horse looks back at...2015...the good, bad, and ugly...this time I have no numbers...like 10-1...

The Donald...since it started so early...we have to include it in this year...I've been asking my Repub golf mates for a couple of years, who's your candy man going to be?...they complain about Prez O mercilessly....and out of the pack of maybe's came Donald Trump...without a doubt, the biggest story of the year...there is no 2nd...now, I'm not saying he will win...but...I have never seen the likes of his every word shown....EVERYWHERE!...and the people want to see him...hmmm...with his poll numbers of approval rocketing, it is hard to imagine a different bloke overtaking him...

Terrorism...in particular...ISIS...who have their path of hatred triggered to spark most anywhere...and have just enough knot heads in the world that will do what the "leaders" want them to do...kill..anyone...they have changed the way that the world deals with this...look for more collaboration of the affected countries in this new year...and by the way, all countries are affected...

The demise of the written word on paper...more and more peops are not getting their news from the local newspaper...the thing that was delivered to your doorstep every day...no...they are now turning on the pixels...or popping on the web net and reading it...I know I have 10 sources I use prior to writing everyday...and yup, we still have the Trib delivered...but, just like on my floor...where there are 8 units, only 2 of us get the paper...25%...is that indicative?...I reckon so...

Music...of any kind...this is the year of the download...if an artist comes out with new stuff...it's near impossible to find a store that even sells CD's...for the most part, one has to go to a service like iTunes...and download the music to your computer...then hear it by streaming...gone are the days where you just pop and drop a disc in your car and off you go...better?...nope...

Concussions...in a field of sports...and most of 'em...have found that there has not been enough protection for the head...the biggest culprit has to be football...the archaic, barbaric, and loathsome battle of big guys...where the deal is to smash one another...it's our modern day gladiator sport...and yes, guys are getting their heads smashed...the elite are trying to protect the players...hmmm...what's the excuse in boxing or anything in the ring?...

Body Manipulations...ha ha...you KNEW I was going to list this...used to be, one worked out to get desired affects of the NEW you...ha ha...not this year...as our new model of imperfection of a family...like Ozzie and Harriet Nelson of the 50's...the K Fam...have done...buy their way...getting new faces...new puffy lips..bigger boobs...and the craze of 2015, butt implants...you heard me right...and changed some average looking girls to some model types that many of the US want to emulate...shoot, worked so well, the guy turned gal, Caitlyn, followed suit...imagine the Dr bill for them...

Chargers...big here...as the NFL Pro team from this area have finally got their wanted desire...to bolt from here to LA...actually to Carson...and the ongoing battle of the owners and the locals have been highly publicized...seems like there are countless votes by the league's owners to "allow" the move...or removal...people here have burned their Charger gear already...

Pro athlete's $...if you have been watching the exorbitant wages that these guys are getting for what they do...millions of bucks for playing a game...this year is the worst...or best...depends on what side you are on...but look at the price of a tix to watch the game...somebody has to pay for these crazy, high salaries...it's you and me...

There you go...it's what I witnessed for the past year...really...I thank you all for following me...I love writing...and it starts my day off well...have a cup or two of coffee...or three...read a lot...and let my mind wander...and hopefully, it intrigues you...or makes you smile...or gets you going...

What do I see in the future?...like you, I hope there is a collar on this mess, called ISIS...the world needs that...and...we all have happy days ahead...

Thank you all for making my day...

BTW...so cool to see so many people's pix on Facebook for their "Happy New Year"...

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...
