The Optimist

Morning, kids...how's the week been for ya'?...here at the home front, we have finally settled in...adjusted to the time zone and all...the little lady has been working all hours and me?...yes, still between jobs...it's been like purnt near 17 years or so...the right one hasn't come along...

Back in DC...the vote on the Kavanaugh Confirmation is to take place today...our 100 Senators have his fate at their disposal...call me the eternal OPTIMIST, but I am holding out for some crossover voting...and making Trump go back to the drawing board...the REALIST in me, sees that the Republicans will be afraid of the backlash of that, and will be intimidated into staying on party lines...he WILL be confirmed, until....the mid-terms...when the Democrats take back the Senate...there you go, OPTIMISM over REALISM...and then, the present regime will face that nasty term...IMPEACH...stay tuned for the November vote...

Tom 'Terrific' Brady threw his 500th touchdown pass last nite in the win versus the Colts...3rd to do so...longevity and ability, right?...at the age of 41, he has both of those...still, I am amazed at the lack of 'genius' in the defensive schemes in all of football, regardless of the level....Brady sat back and picked apart the zone...nary an all out blitz...this is the norm...RUSH THE PASSER!...with more than 3 or 4 blokes...who at 290+ lbs are dog tired...

Protests...the rage of the sixties and seventies...will be resurrected this year and next...people are fed up with the obvious male bias...that Trump exudes and pompously trots about extorting to all his 'followers'...I just can't believe he gets away with what he gets away with...however, his time will come...the wall will fall, with him on it...evil always does...and when it does, there will be 'dancing in the streets...'

Martha and the Vandellas...BTW, an odd bit that struck us...in the Carole King 'Musical' Show...there was nervous laughter, as she and her co-hort, Gerry Goffin, composed a song...were singing it, then the stage changed and the Drifters emerged and sang the same song...the black group...hinted at...well, there was nervous laughter...written this way?...and the same thing happened a bit later, when the black gals group, the Chiffons, emerged...'One Fine Day'...I dunno, it was uncomfortable...

Follow the money...recall the Arizona hoops coach scandal?...the day has come and it's in court...a hint of what's to come...but, a prospect and his daddy, were offered hundreds of thousands of dollars to sign with certain colleges...the list is building...the names doing the offering are highly known, the coaches are still coaching...and the process used, has been revealed...so, now what will happen?...the hint is that it is wide spread, throughout the collegiate world...let's use allegedly...

Brett Kavanaugh....wrote his own OP-ED, to try to clean up his act at the Senate hearings...referring to his nonjudicial rants...that he should have been more in control...duh...you are right, Brett...and, oh by the way, to say that you would be NOT PREJUDICIAL and biased is another...NON-TRUTH!...yup, you probably will be chugging a bunch of your beloved beers tonight...in celebration...hey, call up Donny and go out and hustle chicks, too...Melania is outta town...yes, I am very cynical right now...

The latest in stores a closing?...this just out...Mattress Firm...700+ of them...hmmm, doesn't that affect the percent of people losing jobs?...the government just told us that the numbers are dropping of the unemployed...not sure if I believe that stat...

You beisbol junkies...your teams still in it?...mine is not...of course, the Padres were eliminated 2 months ago...it would be fitting if Cleveland wins, and Brad Hand gets a ring...

We have this odd looking thing, falling from the sky...anyone know what it is?...it resembles, gulp, like bits of water.....could it be...rain?...

And THAT'S the way it is, 10/5/18....

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...
