Presidents Day

This is the day to honor our top position in the USA...we call it 'Presidents Day'...most of the pictures include Washington and Lincoln...right?...that are the symbols for the celebration...around here in SoCal, they have already used the day up for the festivities...schools closed, the parking meters not checked, no mail....and thus, the golf courses slammed...I digress...but, Nationally, it is today...

Back in school, I had a hard time connecting to the importance of history...geez, reminder to all of you, that was like 50+ years ago...didn't take long after, that I changed 180*...and found 'the past' so interesting and necessary...became a voracious reader...well, I started to read books...got hooked into the light bios of the famous people of the past...FDR, Ike, and then...JFK, in real depth...it actually took the assassination of him, to really get me going...

And since that horrific day, the TV became the vessel of knowledge and information...that came out, almost immediately, to the common person...up front and personal the President became...from LBJ all the way to the present guy in our top office...still, the pixels don't expose enough...there are too many things behind the closed doors of the White House, that exist...

Nixon was the perfect example of that...his corruption was highlighted with his resignation after Watergate...as the TV showed the sad tale of it all, as Congress interrogated his people that were shielding him...terrific show, but, in reality, a very damning look at what this country can elect...in the supposed 'perfect' government system...this Democracy...

Listen, there were many good times, too...shaking Jimmy Carter's hand, and actually having an intellect in the top office was amazing...the way that Bill Clinton could use the words of the language to soothe our souls...still, he was a glimpse of what was to come...Barack Obama, may be the most illustrious speaker we may ever have...and then, there were the Repubs...Reagan and the Bushes...

That was the era of the Horse being an elephant...really...I was a Repub...don't hate me...I wasn't involved much...but, the TV came back into play in the Papa Bush tenure...hmmm, that word sounds wrong...should be his 'elected term'...that's better...Saturday Nite Live mocked him...satire was born...ha ha...well, it lived on...

And ever since, that show, SNL...has found humor in what the Prez does or says...ie, the other Bush, Clinton, Obama, and now, the bloke occupying the White House...and the present one, doesn't like it...as his continual ploy of suppressing the news sources...continues on...he would like to arrest the people that disagree with his policies...or his past...

I can't or will not ruin the day...with the insane Tweets of Trump towards SNL...it's an isolated case of a...well, let's just disregard this on Presidents Day...the rest is dang good...

Other...

The LaLa Open, er the Genesis...whatever...30 holes on Sunday to garner a W in the event...as the winds and cold took over the course...dictated the method of operation to meander about...Tiger came undone...so did Lefty...as did Spieth...BTW, he has lost his game...badly...and in the final group, Adam Scott and JT, fell victim to the weather...and the one who persevered, JB Holmes, deserved the win...but, oh my, he is a slow player...

The NBA AS game...yup, did watch it...WTH?...how can you have an MVP of this fiasco...KD got it...but, cmon...someone forget to tell Embiid that there was NO defense to be played...ha ha...yawner...

Miranda Lambert found her newest 'love of her life'...a bloke that just had a baby with another woman, 3 months ago...sounds like a good find, Miranda...

Remember when this day was known for 'huge' sales...big reductions...one would find these prices in the newspaper...ah ha, now there are fewer and fewer printed pages...of the paper...

Are you reading, listening, or watching any of Trump's reactions to Andrew McCabe's interview on 60 Minutes?...or, his possible 'threats' to his impersonator on SNL, Alec Baldwin?...I'm a thinking that he may have some form of breakdown...physically, mentally, or emotionally...

Happy Presidents Day...well, it could be...

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...
