PDX Improves

I'm a betting that there were a gaggle of tele sets turned on to the LaLa Lakers at Portland last eve in the opener for both in the NBA...of course, due to the official beginning of the LeBron era in the purple and gold...not to be dismayed, the show was good...PDX won...yet, James was just fine...here is my take...

The Lake Show is kind of fun...speed is the key for them...BUT...they are woefully weak in the middle...and even moreso in their 2nd team...which will be an achilles heal, if they do not trade for some proven dudes...they are a work in process, often going where they don't find each other...it's a long season, kids...my grade for game number one?...C-...

The Portland Trailblazers...you know, I really liked what I saw...there is a quiet confidence with their 2 star guards...seemingly added a 3 point shooter in Nik Stauskas...they played hard and aggressively...and, gulp, with a change in their D philosophy, too...maybe, just maybe, they can move up and NOT be the one that gets eliminated in the playoff scheme...justing by last eve, it won't be them...their grade?...A-...

Trump...he is out on the stump...talking...blabbering...putting foot in mouth...whatever you call it...I'd say he is embarrassing himself, but that can't happen...embarrassing the Presidency, YES!...but, himself?...he is oblivious...his latest, and I do mean, latest...is when he praised a candidate for body slamming a reporter...'his type of guy'...I can't make this crap up...

We watched the CMT Show about women in country...most of my favs were there, either singing or presenting....something...Little Big Town, Lady A, Kelsey Ballerina (?), and of course, the queen of them all (now), Carrie Underwood...who brought the house down with 'Stand By Your Man'...

What is your take on the disappearance of the Washington Post writer in Turkey?...Trump says to not rush to judgment...there is some 'collusion' talk...I dunno...it's all about the Saudis...does he have a Tower there, too?...I just don't want to dig deeper...so tired of this and him...

The Bosox are in the World Series...think we are going to hear Neil Diamond's 'Sweet Caroline' a bit in the next 2 weeks?...listen, they are loaded and pack a big punch and are MY favs to win it all...regardless of who comes out of the NL...

The question mark...make that the BIG Q, is how many people will actually get out and VOTE...there is a small sample size to go by....the Tennessean reports that there is a BIG early turnout in the midterms there...hmmm...promise on the horizon?...

Mega Millions approaching $1 billion bucks...shoot, I think I may have to invest 2 dollars in it...I mean, I throw that much away every time I tee off....oh yea, I went to buy some new golf balls...bought 3 dozen...and none of them are the Pro V's...we'll see how this experiment goes...and yes, I did find me some Taylor Made M2 irons...to match up with me driver, which I absolutely lurve...fore!...

Putin just released this...that in his estimation that 'the US is losing it's global domination'...thanks, Donny, thanks...

Finally, I will tell you this...Gladys Knight sang in that CMT Show...and looked and sounded GREAT!...at 74...she was with the 2 gals from Little Big Town...

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...
