1974

This was weird, and yet, mind blowing...oops, back in the year 1974!...was listening on me Beats to a CD of the super group of the time...Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young...'CSNY 1974'...this morning...and out of the blue, the screen switched to a concert of the boys...as they were playing in that year...OMG, these were unbelievably talented dudes...could play guitar as well as the piano...and sang their songs...if you want a trip, ha ha, back into time...find this and buy it...

Which triggered my brain into that year, Nineteen Hundred and Seventy Four...comparative costs to now?...hardly...the cost of a gallon of petrol was 43 cents...the median house cost was $34,900...the annual salary was $13,900...imagine that one could buy a Chevy for $4,000...I remember that I thought, that if I could afford a Ten Thousand Dollar car, I would have it MADE ...and this was the time that the country was glued to the TV screen...

As, during this year, the President of the United States was impeached...Richard M Nixon...falling to the leakage of the news of the break in of the Democrat's office in the Watergate Hotel...that he, lied about...that he was involved...Congress subpoenaed many of his cabinet, and interrogated them on LIVE TV...and the whole thing unraveled...it was then dubbed 'Watergate'...ah, yes, triggered by a couple of young newsmen of the Washington Post...who did much of the investigative leg work...Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward...

'All The President's Men' was soon made after...a flick that dramatized the happening...however, the real thang totally unfurled in 1974...as Nixon resigned from office that same year...and took to flight to escape any further condemnation...BTW, he never did admit to the offense...

Yea, so here we go again...abuse of power...that is surrounding us on a day to day basis...as another President is embroiled in a possible 'cover up' scandal...I dunno, maybe that's the wrong term...situation (s), might be more appropriate...as the walls of the protection are crumbling about him...

In the next month, we are to see Congress do what was done in that year...so long ago...1974...subpoena cabinet members...and others, like his personal lawyer...and under oath, speak to Congress...via, LIVE pixels, to the entire world...tell us all, what is the TRUTH...I figure that some of his faithful blokes, will plead the fifth...which will further implicate the BOSS...ah, what else would you call him?...

Other...

The NFL...totally surprised  by the total domination by the Chiefs...and the lackluster play by the Colts...egads, the way below par performance by QB (un) Luck (y)...his throws were lacking zip...however, KC looked and played REAL sharp...and in the nite cap, the Rams whupped the Cowboys...line play...tickled me...it's a good thing...

Today, the Chargers try their River Boat thang in New England...where, Philip has never won...again?...and the Eagles take on the Saints in Norleans...you want the Horse picks?...just in case you do...the Pats scream...and Philly in a donnybrook...but, shoot, I know nuttin'...

I declare this Sunday, as Tweet free...well, at least from me talking about what innocuous, laborious, demeaning, and just STOP! the insanity...

 And, this was the year, 1974, that we got hitched...egads, like 45 years ago...what?...

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...
