Pro Hoops?

Morning, kids...the Horse is back in the saddle...now THAT sounds a bit weird, huh...yes, but I have some thoughts to throw out at ya this am...glad to be back writing, but do miss that desert heat, I must admit...could get used to that...

Watched the 'playoff atmosphere' game of the Blazers and the Thunder (formerly the Seattle Supersonics)...as Okla City, er, where the Sonics were moved to...beat PDX in OT...some candid observations...

1.  At times, the game resembled Pro Rasslin', with flops and cheap shots a part of the matchup
2.  The Thunder play better D than the Blazers...much better...
3.  OKC has 2 legit stars in Russel Westbrook and Paul George...and the TNT analyst, former UCLA star Reggie Miller, let the viewing audience know that over and over and over...
4.  PDX has ONE, in Dame...Lillard...the others faded in the stretch...
5.  The technical foul...given out often and quite proudly in the NBA...I ask anyone this...does the league KNOW who and how many techs are administered?...I can't find it on the web net...is this a hidden gem from the public?...
6.  Finally, the Blazers added and deleted players from their 2nd unit...and made themselves decidedly WORSE...management screwed up...as the playoffs begin, the depth will be the downfall of them...

Case number one for Paul Manafort...he was convicted of 8/18 charges...and the sentence was recommended to be from 19 to 24 years in prison...the Judge in the case, sentenced him to one month less than 4 years...citing, that the penalty is too harsh for the crimes...listen, I am OK with his statement...BUT...why have the numbers so severe in the first place, that a Judge can do whatever he or she desires?...odd to moi...and...Manafort has to go thru one more sentencing in another court room...I am still thinking that he thinks that, Trump will pardon him...for his silence...

Speaking of horses...what is going on at the great race place, Santa Anita?...where a number of horses have been euthanized either training, or racing, on their main track?...22?...something like that...the people there have shut the track down...testing it and so on...is is too firm?...regardless, it is at tragic situation...

The Futures are down again this morning...big time...a 2nd day of it...so...expect the Market to fall...the word is that there is problems in the China market...you tell me, that we don't need to trade with them...wonder if Donny has stock in the China market?...

Trump just tweeted that the Judge in the Manafort deliverance, showed that there was no Russian Collusion...ah, no, Donny, that had NOTHING to do with his collusion...that's coming later...

The Padres continue to roll right along in the Cactus League...scoring loads of runs...yes, I know it's just the spring ball, but, we normally don't score this much...and often...high expectations?...you bet...and the peops are buying into it, already...this is a good thing...

Rolling in the negative...this out...the 'worst' grocery store was announced...ah, unceremoniously...maybe in Yahoo...by far, in this study...was Walmart...not even close was a 2nd...cleanliness, number of items, meats, dairy, and of course, the check out lines...

To honor 'International Women's Day'...wait, aren't they all?...oops...go out and buy the new country CD, 'Girl' by Maren Morris...

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...
