Friday Stuff

What are those alarms that are going off in DC?...lots of 'em, too...the CLIP (change in leadership in low places) Show is at it again...more and more comings and goings in the White House...and this one is downright scary...John Bolton has been named as the National Security Advisor...listen kids, this is the THIRD one in this present administration...what?...WHAT?...3rd...yes, he replaced H.R. McMaster..who?...right...

Let's take a look at Bolton...former ambassador to the United Nations...that has had some interesting quotes and feelings that were 'leaked'...after all the revelations of what Iraq really had, he still thought that invading that country was the right move...called former Prez O a muslim, you wonder why that kept coming up?...he was the one that kept it alive...and this, he is on record saying that attacking North Korea first, is the correct path that we should be on....whew...let's relax a bit, Horse...people talk...but when you are in command, your REALLY have to make moves...talk is cheap...we can only hope...

But, National Security Advisor?...gasp...

Staying with the POTUS...think he isn't watching CNN right now?...one of his former gal pals let out her confessions to the pixel world...this while he was awaiting his child born, right?...then, he will switch to CBS on Sunday, for the next revelation...Stormy will be the featured event on 60 Minutes...if his marriage survives this week, then more power to Melania...ah, don't we, the USA, look just grand to the rest of the world?...

Well now, I have gone a bit political on ya...so let's keep it up...Congress passed a 'spending bill' to keep the country afloat for awhile...and you got it, for some reason, POTUS has hinted that he may VETO it...wait, kids...his Repub Congress sent it to him...WTH?...a shutdown looms...again...his balking at it?...there is no cash for the WALL!...wait, I thought that Mexico was going to pay for it?...I can't make this stuff up...

BREAKING NEWS...Prez T DID sign in the spending bill, after balking at not...

China is understandably upset with the sanctions that Prez T has put on them over steel and aluminum...higher import duties...ah yes, now THEY are gonna do the same to us...ie, these two...PORK and ALUMINUM PIPE, amongst other thangs...pork?...we get pork from China?...and we give them aluminum and then they make the pipes...good lord, we the people, know nothin...

Let's take a break...and talk other...

The sweet sixteen...round one of 'em was more of the same...extreme upsets...I think I got one right of 4...ha ha...talking guys hoops here, kids...today, I want two to happen...both teams from the same conference to win, West Virginny and Kansas...yea, and I doubt if I watch much of it...what I fear, is that Duke is going to win this whole thing...if I were a betting guy, I'd pop $100 on the Blue Devils...

Good luck to the Ducks and Beavs in the ladies Big Dance!...OSU versus Baylor should be a beaut...still, can anyone beat UConn?...

That match play T in Austin...if you are a golf junkie, then you have to watch the match between Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed...hey, Patrick has supreme confidence in his one on one game...interesting, as he doesn't transfer that skill to the total stroke events...anyway was asked about the recent Ryder Cup, and his pairing with Spieth...his retort was 'my back still hurts!'...how do you spell a__hole?...guess who I am pulling for?...

This just released...9 Iranians were fingered for a massive cyber theft of US Universities...man, I have said in the past...if I were elected Prez, the first thing I would do, is hire a bunch of geeks from the tech world and clean up our computer systems...

I know all of you in the Horse Nation have been holding your collective breaths as we wait on our new Beamer...ya, the one that got a dinger by the 'detail dude', er, I am assuming it was a dude...and then the company decided to replace the entire door...yea, you heard me right...well, today it was to be delivered to moi....why am I skeptical?...

Your Sports Illustrated baseball prognostication mag came out this week...and guess where the mighty Pads were listed?...dead last in the west again...the Bums were listed 1st...calm down Horse, its one bloke's version...hmmm, I see us in the hunt...iff (math terminology) our starting pitching develops...a big if...hey...I just don't read this mag much anymore...so, I called up and canceled the bloody thing...and NOT because of the Padres prediction...ha ha...

Finally, after a horrific Stock Market day...will their be a rebound?...let's hope...
