A Military Parade

Image
Top of the morn, to all of you out there...as we end up another very hot, and humid week in SoCal ...headlines, usually have the name TRUMP connected, somehow...right?...and most of 'em are started by Donny...in some type of rant during the nite... via a Tweet, or Tweets ...does the bloke sleep?... Well now, the most disgusting of his latest...the cancellation of his much wanted 'Military Parade' ... the cost appears to be prohibitive at this time (92 million bucks) ...hmmm...is this not the action that most dictators demand?...the viewing of their arsenal?...put off for a year...will Donny still be at the helm?...to view his most wanted celebration of POWER?... So many condolences yesterday for the 'Queen of Soul' ...remembrances of her, in the past...one such, was by President Obama...as she sang at his inauguration...not to be outdone, Donny said some nice things about Aretha Franklin...ending with "you know, she worked for me" ...does the guy...

Not sure how one can sugar coat the true, 'demise of the Padres' ...if you r ead the Trib, watch the local pixels, or hear the rant of the ownership themselves ...you'd be thinking that the fact that there is promise on the horizon ...that the franchise is loaded with blue chippers in the minor leagues...just ready to pop up in the bigs, with all there awesome abilities...ah ha... Listen, they are in the minors ...and we have witnessed a huge gap between that and the Major League... HUGE! ...the term given for the youngins, PROSPECTS ...to me, is a misnomer ...and the club has brought a few up to play with the San Diego team...the results?...moderate success, at best...especially, the pitchers...the BACKBONE to winning in this 'National Pastime'... Reality is that the San Diego Padres , along with the Miami Marlins , they are the WORST two teams in the National League ...again...and again... 'keep the faith' , is kind of the motto...in 2021, 'w...

Say What?

How ya'll doing this month?...the last one of the summer...egads, I didn't say that, did I?...sorry...but, for the MLB boys, it's the dawg days ...it's the time that they have been together way toooo long ... tempers flare up a bit and we have them donnybrooks...perfect example is the game last eve with them Bums and Giants ... Of course, LaLa's Puig was at the center of it...shoving and taking a poke at SF's catcher, Hundley ...ah, a former Pad, amongst others... both of the boys got tossed ...in the replay, shouldn't have gone that way... Puig was the aggressor and like many officiated brouhaha's...the easy way is taken, eliminate the two ...too bad, as they were wrong... Yesterdays' rant...about the Trump candor. ..like he hasn't had the most odious of all in the history of the Presidency...well, he Tweets a lot of it...Nixon would have given him a running for the 'title'...anyway, the Press Sec for Donny, Sarah Huckabee Sand...

Total Embarrassment

Is there anything more EMBARRASSING than that of what is being talked about in and about the WHITE House . ..the exchange between Omarosa and the President ...which she says...has TAPES to back up what she is divulging... about him...and his candor ...there are strong accusations of using the N-word...ah ha... The combustible environment within the inner circle of Trump , is beyond control or belief...the idea of 'here today and gone tomorrow' is certainly a day to day issue...witness the once employed therein, Omarosa ...and the aftermath...yes, and more of his candor... The last couple of days...his rants... after the uncovering of the audios and her BOOK ...her 'tell all' ...so how does he handle it?... name calling ...WHAT?...our PRESIDENT of the USA?...the bombardment of name calling of her... 'the low life'...'crazed'...'wacky'...'deranged'...and the topper?...'good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that DOG ...

Bodacious Golf

Morning, kids... a quickee , as I have a real early tee time...you know, beat the heat...sort of...anyhoo, how about the climax of the PGA? ...terrific win by Brooks Koepka ...as he and the final pair, Adam Scott , played marvelously...but...part of the day (maybe most) was devoted to the dude who played like yesteryear... Tiger ... wowed the crowds ...made a major move up the leader board...got within one stroke...most of this done, while missing the fairways...one more glitch to fix in his comeback... ended up 2nd ...now for you or moi, that would have to suffice...as it paid over a MILLION BUCKS! ... Gosh, it was fun to watch...my only wish was... to see Brooks and Tiger in the SAME pairing ... Where was Lefty? ...I digress... Oh yea, the Pads won the series with Philly ...dang, figures the game we see live, they lose... Gotta roll...have a miracle Monday ...

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...
