Against All Odds

You watching these NBA Playoffs?...right, me too...the most stunning of a series is going on in the east...where the number 8 seed has gone into the home court of the number 1 seed and...SWEPT 'EM!...that's a wowee...The Chicago Bulls...went into Boston town and have done the unthinkable...

Their best player and leader...is a guy who has emerged...AGAINST ALL ODDS!...his story and background is alarming at best...where you would think that there must be some fudging on some of it, as it can't be that bad...guess again...

Jimmy Butler...grew up in Texas...the dad abandoned the family early in the process...OK, hear that tale way too often...hang on, it gets bizarre...the mom kicked Jimmy out of the house at age 12...what?...the report has it, "she didn't like the way he looked"...true and yet, sad stuff...he was on his own...imagine...

He bounced around the neighborhood...finally settled in on some friends, who's parents would help him out...like give him a place to stay...unbelievable...think about it...he could have turned to crime, drugs, you name it...but he kept playing sports...and basketball was his salvation...as it turned out, he didn't draw enough looks to get a scholarship...and ended up in a JC...where he did, make that, DID get noticed...

Marquette University did...gave him one...and he flourished!...enough so, that he got drafted into the NBA at the 30th pick by the Bulls...a first rounder...now?...he is the best player on Chicago's team...terrific attitude...like an old school dude...plays defense as hard as anyone in the league...just watch them and him...the total package at 27 years of age...

Amazing!...and get this...he has forgiven his parents and supposedly...talks to them...would you?...

The Pads...got hammered yet again...4 in a row...at home...not sure I want to see the debacle...

Well, off I go to the course...but have to mention what every one of my sources have as their headline...that the guy who just was acquitted of a double homicide...former New England star tight end, Aaron Hernandez...hung himself in jail...dead...

 Fittingly, the song for the day is....'Against All Odds' by Phil Collins...

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...
