Thursday Tidbits

Morning, kids...gosh I feel good today...coffee is black and hot...deep roast, I think...Seattle's Best No. 5...up before the sun breaks out...it's the quiet of the am that gets me a thinking...plan of attack of the day, I suppose...maybe, just maybe, knowing Maui is a couple of weeks away...that, yup, THAT will bring a smile to the face...right?...egads, our 42nd wedding anniversary...

You feeling manipulated today?...I bet you and I will never sit down at a meal that the candy peops will be at...for at least $1,000 + a plate...this is the season of it...as they are all over the country, gathering up $ for their campaigns....from the rich and famous...and you, yes YOU, are at the mercy of them...the 1% that Bernie talked about...who come up with the influence to get what they want...by the giving of a bit of their money to the candy peops...you KNOW how much I hate lobbyism?...you SHOULD, too...hey there you go, I'm trying to manipulate YOU!...ha ha...

Mylan...the company that has a medicine that will fight some terrifying symptoms to an allergy attack....like peanuts for some...others, of course...raised their price to over 600% of the original price...cuz, they could and wanted to...the brass of the co. defended their position...weakly...and reduced it...kind of...still got a healthy raise...they have the monopoly on it...so they figure they can do what they want...

Bosa...the kid from OSU...this signing thinger is at an impasse...what a joke...he will be getting a boatload of money...wants some clarity in the contract from the Chargers...like no one else has ever had...hey, Joey, you are a football player...do your thing...being a negotiator you are not...imagine the guys in the Bolt's locker room...you will be a tough sell to them now...

Nike closed out their golf business...hmmm...that leaves the likes of Rory McIlroy without clubs...ha ha...gotta find another sponsor to fit him with suitable sticks...apparently, he is in no rush to do so...hey, let's see how THIS system works...the fight to see who he chooses and who gives him the best contract...right?...what he needs is a new mind that operates his putter...he is at a loss there...

Did you know that Jimi Hendrix was a backup player for the likes of the Isley Bros...and for Little Richard...and Joey Dee and the Starlighters...and on and on...before  he hit it big at Woodstock and then his solo thing...and he was also a paratrooper in our army, 101st Airborne...only here on Horse's blog would you get such fascinating tidbits...

Drafting 4th in the upcoming FF extravaganza...yes, I should get a great QB...that's what I'm after...figure I should get either Cam Newton or Aaron Rodgers...if not...RB Todd Gurley of the LA Rams...what, they moved?...where have I been?...or WR Antonio Brown of the Steelers...hmmm...who would you choose?...

You see this?...Uber...the taxi type biz...lost over $1.2 billion bucks in the first quarter of '16...what?...how on earth can that happen?...

Also, about in the 1st quarter of '16, we bought a picture of a pier on the SoCal coastline...have been trying to figure out where it is...got it, the other day...the Pier at Pismo Beach...you knew Horse would crack the case...

We're gonna go get some fine food at a beautiful restaurant for breakfast...pinch me...

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...
