All We Are Saying

Does the Senate not remind of you of times gone past?  Sit ins, sit downs, protests, burning of the draft cards, and on and on.  As John Lennon sang it, "Give Peace A Chance!"  I think it's cool that we have Democrats that are that passionate about what they can't control.  In essence, that is what protesting is.  Let the dominate side know that they are there, and they have a different view.

In case you have been under a rock, or flat out don't care much about our Congress, there have been a group of Democratic Senators who have been staging a sit in over the lack of gun control bills passed by the group.  I think I have seen strong verbal battles by the other side with the protesting group.  The rule is to not have any video of what's been going on.  Ha ha!  "Senators, will you please all turn off your cell phones!"  Regardless, the overall leader, you next Republican boy, Paul Ryan, has shown contempt for it all.  Finally, he adjourned the Senate for a vacation.

My first two paragraphs were done with almost proper sentence structure...ha ha... I got yet again a reminder of what I do on a daily basis....write with a bunch of periods that separate my thoughts...yes sir and yes mam...if you are an English major lover, er you just want the sentence structuring you learned in high school...well, you are out of luck with the Horse...this is what I do...

Back to the real issue...is it not the responsibility of the Senators to vote for the items that represent their own state and people?...regardless of where they are getting their lobbyist money contributions from?...should it not be free from whether one is Repub or Demo?... apparently not...as many of those who have been chosen, think it is their right to vote the way they WANT to...

I listened to a good doctor... who was in high favor of the "electoral college" form of voting...have the elitists lobby their own decisions for the "good of the masses"...as many of those, are not smart enough to make correct decisions...this gets worse...that the common person vote is not all equal...this is a real discussion...oh my...

I guess I am in the political mode...Trump...have you ever seen or heard of a probable candidate that has been so lambasted by his own party?...it will take a major change of thoughts by the Repubs at their convention to make this a go...I can't believe that the Demos will have a cake walk to the presidency...so...is it not the responsibility of that party to make him attractive to the rest of the nation?...geez...can that be done?...questions questions questions...hmmm...

Protest songs...can't believe it has got back to this...CSNY...Barry McGuire...the Youngbloods...John Fogarty...and on and on...shoot, the Beatles...was there ever a better song in a movie than in the blood bath Apocalypse Now, than "Satisfaction", by the Rolling Stones?...

OK...I am leaving alone the loss by the Pads...well maybe not...the newbies, P Erik Johnson and 2B Schimpf, are major busts...and NOT MLB material...no way, no how...

Draft day in the NBA...and probable trades, too...hmmm...does this even affect the Blazers?...or the Warriors?...however, the transition of the Lake Show will be big...and the entire city of LaLa land will be rejuvenated...so says Horse...I have spoken...  ... ... ... ... ... ...just in case you are counting my periods...ha ha... ... ... ...

PS...had a wonderful bloke from my golf club bellow out to me..."I'm waiting for some big thoughts!"...ah, er, thanks for reading....

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...

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
