Calm Down, People

Reading the headlines, watching the video clips, and listening to the PEOPLE responding to PATRIOTISM...or, is it that?...an issue of kneeling as the National Anthem is being played...to some, i.e. the Prez, it smacks the country in the face...and there is no place for it...how dare you!...to others, it is freedom of speech...a form of rebellion, as they have felt slighted in their own country...and feel that they have the stage to demonstrate...does it not seem like it is a racial divide?...

First of all, we need to all calm down...listen to one another...and adjust accordingly...over reaction is not the solution...but, is the actually the opposite of what the intent should be...to call out that 'all players who do so, should be fired', or 'don't go to the games if they kneel'...are simplistic ways of coping...and are non solutions...

On the other hand...just try to rationalize any of this to a soldier, who has been fighting for the country...who has been in real battles, not the basketball or football 'wars'...where the 'combatants' make a million or more bucks...hmmm...seem a bit different now?...black, white, red, male or female...I dunno, kids...

Perpetrating...you will listen to the Anthem be sung...and shortly thereafter, the play by play dude will announce to the TV listening crowd, who was not standing during the singing...what?...'just for the record' is the response...leave it alone, dude...let it run it's course...by highlighting it, it just becomes more of an issue...

Oh my...the latest is the 'honor' of the winning teams of diff sports going to the White House...and players are saying that they won't go...OK, don't...see ya...but know, it becomes a bigger than normal...item...are we backing into another racial division in our country?...or...making this bigger than it needs to be?...you tell me...

Other...

The Ducks went into the desert and got spanked...as you know, I was very leery over this match up with ASU...growing pains, kids...new coach, new system, and new direction... there will be bumps along the way...

On the other hand...the continual rise of the Aztecs...in a monstrous rain storm in Colorado...beat the entire Air Force...and snapped a hex on the game after biz, where in the past 50 years, SDSU lost their 1st game after being plopped into the Top 25 teams in the nation...BTW, this Aztec team went into ASU a couple of weeks ago, and beat 'em...I keep tellin' ya, this is a better unit then you think...

As beisbol is finally finishing their regular season up...and the playoff teams are a clinching their spots...these Padres keep a battling...I will give credit to Mgr Green and his staff for keeping the boyz a driving...beat the Rockies last eve, 5-0...we need 2 or 3 top flight pitchers to land here in the off season...too much to ask, GM Preller?...do your job...

The Beach Boys...they were incredible!...we were seated in the 7th row, right in front of the one and only Bill Walton, and his entourage...gosh, the place was rocking...as the crowd was alive from the get go...yup, it was a special night...FUN FUN FUN!...

The PGA playoffs...forging to the front, is the Brit, Paul Casey...hmmm, this always humors me...he lives part time, er most of it, in Scottsdale, Arizona...in lieu of England...ah hem, a tax issue...does he have a green card, or is he a US Citizen now?...I dunno...if he wins that $10 million buck bonus, he'll have to say that he is Americano, I suppose...and please, Paulie, stand during the Anthem...

Let's get serious here...we have NO food in the condo...none...the cupboards and refrig are bare...no milk today...none...no mac and cheese cartons in the closet...none...there is loads of Sammi food, but no people food...none...we do have coffee...but no creamer...none...I'm at a loss...do we go out and have a breakfast, or, trudge on over to the market...and fill up the barren spaces...

My Fantasy Football team...needs some magic from the Packers...are the offensive tackles still out?...hey, QB Rodgers, has to have time to throw...these rookie OT's won't work....

Me tummy is growling...

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...
