Reality Check

For some odd reason, I have been reading myself to nitesville...turn off the pixels, 'sleep' the computer, silence my iPhone...my latest?...is this book on the LBJ/McNamara trip thru the Vietnam War...might be a bit too technical...exact dates and all...I guess to prove to the reader, the authenticity...

Thus far...JFK had great reservations about Vietnam and it's leadership...and...before Kennedy was assassinated...the South Vietnam President was dethroned...that WE had a hand in the coup of the South Vietnam leader in '63...orchestrated by Henry Cabot Lodge...egads...what we didn't know...

After the deaths of both those leaders, LBJ took over the reins in the USA...and RADICALLY changed the direction that we were going in Vietnam...that Johnson, was a very insecure man...let me, say that again...INSECURE...needed 'yes men' to surround him...got rid of many of Kennedy's people, within 6 months...and filled his arsenal with 'his types'...and he felt that McNamara was the 'boss'...as we entered the worst era of time in my generation...

I'm bracing myself for more information that will leave me thoroughly disgusted...oh yea, the book is titled 'Dereliction of Duty' by H. R. McMaster...wonder if his keyboard is ready for act II?...ah, the Donny version...

Other...

We had date night over at the ball park...Omni Seats...now, we didn't know this until I talked to owner of them seats...you enter thru the Omni Hotel...which skips the 'common man's entry'...a private port, if you will, and we will...which you use coming and going...the seats are right behind home plate...terrific!...allow us to eat in the Omni Food area...all in all, an A-...the minus?...well, it is THE Padres...lost 5-1...boo...

How about the PGA!...Brooks Koepka has a 2 stroke lead going into the final round today...many blokes so close, ie Tiger...and Rickie...and Justin...Adam Scott has re-emerged onto the scene...where is Lefty?...still trying to stop his ball from going down the slope, I reckon...good viewings today, kids...

Your Prez...oh my...ticked that his former advisee, I guess...and former Celebrity Apprentice gal, Omarosa...has written a 'tell all' book, featuring Donny...got down and dirty when he decided to call her 'a low life'...such a sweet man...

Just a small wonder here...but think there is any chance in the world, that Donny will be in the White House today?...as there is a scheduled 'White Civil Rights' rally in DC...I think he said last year, at the event...there WERE protestors, duh!...'that there are good people on both sides'...

And this from the NY Post...the grooviest trend for the summer?...tie-dye...well, I have known this for years, I tell ya...

Time for the Trib and the millionth attempt at the super Suduko....which I have never figured out...

Now THAT'S a scary pix...

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...
