Dumb as a Rock

Image
There you go, the current inhabitant of OUR White House ...calling out his, get this, kids, HIS Secretary of State...that he hired and fired... Rex Tillerson ...like so many of his former cabinet members...they were the best, and then the worst...imagine...working for the bloke...his chosen words for him, 'he is dumb as a rock' , and follows up with 'he's lazy as hell' ... Trump ...aren't you proud of him?... Not such a good day for Trump yesterday...as two of his formers got some devastating legal news. .. Manafort and Cohen ...recommended that they both get extensive prison time...the Mueller reports are one thing...but, more devastating was from the NY Federal Court...siting so many penalties for Cohen ...and 3 of those, implicated the one and only, number 1 ...alas, Trump ... More fodder for the incoming House of Reps people...the 'I' word is imminent... IMPEACH ...listen, there are to be more releases prior to the end of the year...and I thi...

The Days of Reckoning

Image
Are the walls a tumbling down around the present inhabitant of the White House? ...as today, we have another Mueller release , a probable 10 sheet report, filled with redactions...ha ha...who knew what redactions were, until a few days ago?...I digress...anticipation of what will be recommended for Manafort and Cohen, too?... Trump had a bevy of his Tweets hit the web net...this am...wonder who proof reads what he sends out?... grammatical errors make me wonder, just how smart this bloke really is...using 'bye' in lieu of 'by'...however, the point really is...he is trying to fend off any 'arrows' shot his way...Injun talk...I think (he thinks) if he throws enough crap out there, something's gotta stick... Hidden item this fine morning, is that his Chief of Staff, John Kelly ...is to abandon him...er, resign...before he gets fired by Trump...the memo that has been leaked, is that the two haven't talked, er, communicated, for awhile...the hits k...

Hope

Hey, kids...how are you this fine am?...well, the winter has hit San Diego... we had lots of the rain stuff ...cold and windy, too...really...more of the same today...egads... was on the 8th hole out at Sycuan and then BOOM! ...thunder to our north...and very dark skies...er, sky ...we decided, smartly, to quit after 9...and got out of there...for those who know me, I am terrified of the thunder and lightning... Spent much time lately talking about the dang Stock Market ...and there are rumblings about that the opening bell is going to be BAD ...this after the day of mourning for Prez George HW Bush...when the market was closed...BTW, the most uncomfortable front row of the eulogy...where the living Presidents and their wives sat...when the current one, Trump, arrived...there was extreme tension...just a guess, but he has to be one of the most disliked people on the planet, including by the formers... There is so much jargon about with the release of the Mueller recommendations ...

Market Swoon

Image
Maybe that should be, Market Plunges! ...aghast was my response to yesterday's total collapse of the Stock Market. .. the Dow dropping almost 800 points... 800! ...this after assurances that there was going to be a rebound prior to the end of the year...well, it has 26 days to do so...and if yesterday, is any indicator...we may be in trouble financially... Trump ...declared himself 'Tariff Man' ...I can think of many other nicknames more appropriate...as the so called trade war with China continues on...seemingly, the market reacted to him and it. ..thus, shocking the investors in a sell off...really, it is out of the commoners hands...right?... I speak of the 'indicators' ...of things on the horizon...none bigger than what Mueller released last eve, concerning Mike Flynn ...in essence, recommending little if no jail time for his involvement in the Trump Regime...the lies that he gave...as he spoke to the Mueller people 19 times ...the report itself, had ...

Flicks

Top of the morn to ya'll!...it is the time, that we all embrace the Holiday Season in some form or the other, right?...sure we do...as I look outside of me condo, I am a little dismayed...as there are but a few trees lit up ...in years past, there have been a gaggle of 'em...wonder why?...maybe, these units are 2nd homes for the rich and famous...and won't be here for a bit...I dunno...still, c'mon folks... My blog title is 'FLICKS' ...time to watch some movies...started last eve, with a whodunit thang... starring Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman ... 'Secret in Their Eyes'. ..really was good and had never heard of it prior...gosh, we have seen so very few over the past 5 years, thus, they are all NEW to us... lay some on me, if you have the time... Like I know this means Jack to ya, but I brought out my old Nike putter ...with the extreme fat handle...and haven't putted that well for a long, long time...it's a good thing...takes me wrists mo...

The Bowlers

Image
Hey, not sure what I will find when I arise most every Monday...the affects of the past weekend and all...one of the hot topics is, the naming of all the colleges and universities going a BOWLING! ...no bigger money maker in the biz, than college football...it all starts with THE committee choosing the Final 4...and the rest tumble down into the 40 or so bowls... The list of the four, included Oklahoma and deleted Georgia...and yup, had Notre Dame in...the undefeated record certainly the impetus...they will get hammered by Clemson ...I get it, just don't agree with it...the more entertaining game, will be 'Bama and the Sooners...be careful  here, as the Tide may be without their lefty QB...48-47...ha ha... My hopes that t he Ducks would end up here in the Holiday Bowl, SQUASHED!...as Utah got the nod...dang... UO is going to the Redbox Bowl in Santa Clara ...and rumors from the great PNW is that QB Herbert, WILL PLAY...who is in the Potato Bowl?...listen, I really don...

The Final 4

Image
Yesiree, Bob , I watched a lot of football yesterday...helped me formulate my FINAL FOUR teams for the D-1 Championship...of course, this will ruffle the feathers of some, but deal with it...it's just one guys opinion...and WILL NOT be the consensus of the committee, who names the real participants... Alabama / Georgia ...an inexcusable play call by the Bulldogs with 2 minutes to go in the game...tied at 28...their drive stalled...4th and 9, at midfield...got it?...they ran a fake punt!...with the Tide set up in a normal D pattern, and NOT in a punt return one...why they didn't call a time out and squash the play, is THE REASON , they got beat...took 'Bama less than a minute to take it in from there, and get the winning score... Oklahoma played enough D to beat a very decent Texas team...I felt that the Sooners, were just so so in the match... Ohio St in a laugher over Northwestern... UCF , minus their hurt star QB, came back from no where to beat Memphis...in a...
