The Art of Diplomacy

Hey, all...was in the desert for a couple of days...meeting up with compadres, golf, feed bag, drinks, and a din din ...all fun and great stuff...the golf was at Cimarron GC, which was in great shape and just...plain...old...good times...

This is a pix from the club house...notice the mountains in the background, sporting some fresh snow...doesn't get much more picturesque than this...

So what did you miss while I was away?...not much from the White House...mired in a bloody government shut down...over a silly wall that Trump wants in the worst way....well, all his ways are the worst...I digress...


He had some of the major players in to the Big House, for a session of negotiations over his structure...which didn't last long...he asked Nancy Pelosi if she would give him the dough for it...she said no...and he stormed out of the meeting...that was it...wasn't he supposed to be the master of diplomacy?...of course, not...he owns the bullying pulpit...thinks that he can get whatever he wants by doing so...rule by intimidation...you know bosses, er, leaders, like that...

Tomorrow, there will be 800,000 govt workers not getting a pay check...they shall thank Trump for the lack of money...his form of diplomacy...listen, kids...I have been aware of all the Presidents in my lifetime...not fond of a few, LBJ and Tricky Dicky...but, the rest, have been true leaders...this one, Trump, is by far the worst that the country has EVER had...not even close...

The finals for the D1 football game was a blow out...as Clemson won for the 2nd time in 3 years...tickled me...as we  were at a happy hour in  La Quinta, watching it...I would say 75% of the patrons were pulling for the Tigers...yes, Jimmy crack corn...but, watching 'Bama lose, was kind of nice...

As we were driving into the heat, well, it was supposed to be...it was more mild, I'd say...we noticed the billboards promoting the Beach Boys in town!...Feb 1...we got on it...got our buds, Deb and Lar, in motion...and we will return for the gala event...CHEERS!...if you have never been to one of their concerts, get after it...so much fun...our number has to be in the double digits...FUN FUN FUN...

And, of course, many thanks to them Mackles...for sittin' our Sammi!

Well, we are back and will start writing again in the am...Horse talk...

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...
