Gerrymandering

Morning, all of you early risers out there in the land of the web net...the political world has been abuzz with quite a few happenings...as we have slept...some are earth shattering, and some are just for show...but, one item just jumped out at me, as our Supreme Court wants to get involved in the election system we have....hmmm, but how?...

On a much smaller comparison, the same sort of thing happened way back when the Horse was in the teaching field...switching boundaries to get some sort of equality in the distribution of people in the schools...called GERRYMANDERING...my gawd, just an awful name...almost as bad as indigenous people...

One school had an advantage over the other...'better' kids went to one school over the other, perhaps, others...in the same school district...alas, the change of the boundaries were made for equality sake...so we were told...some schools went to the fad of the time, 'forced busing'...to accomplish the said goal...sure, we might think that it was to give the less fortunate a chance at 'better' schooling, er, education...how'd that work out?...

Which has been an issue in the last Demo debate that popped up with VP Joe Biden and Kamala Harris...at the time, he didn't like it, and she was a benefactor as a student...I digress...

Our Supreme Court is attacking the concept...switching boundaries for VOTING purposes...some may say to benefit one party over the other...and there we go...is this used for local level items?...as I don't see how it affects nationwide things...but...why is the Supreme Court ruling on it?...there must be some significance for their interest...

Number 2...

Donald Trump made a giant step for mankind...well, he would like to say that...as he did what no other US Prez has done...set foot on North Korean soil, well, concrete...in a gesture of good will between the 2 countries...a very happy Kim was there to greet him and pose for some very opportunistic photos of the grand event...

This could be a good thing...whatever it takes to sit down at the table and talk armistice...with that country...is of benefit for all...I'm sure that South Korea and Japan HOPE that it is for real and not a publicity stunt...well, the World does, too...

This is breaking....the new WH press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, was injured in a scuffle with some North Korean guards, as she was paving a way for the US journalists to get access to the Kim/Trump meeting...so much for 'good will'...

However, in his 'gallant' trip abroad, he (Trump) took along his daughter Ivanka...not quite sure what her position is...do YOU know?...and she was videoed trying to commingle with the leaders of Europe...totally embarrassing for all concerned....which begged the query, 'what is she doing there?'...

Number 3...

The latest poll...the top 3 of the Demos has had some changing...don't make too much of this...cuz, it will bee bop and scat a whole lot in the next year...but, the leaders are VP Biden, Bernie, and now, Kamala...not sure when the field of 24 gets shaken up a bit...as I said yesterday, the donors have to say no to the improbable wannabes....

My latest poll...'we' call it the Horse Poll...has a different result...my top 3 are Kamala, Bernie, and Mayor Pete...who can stand up and beat down the incumbent?...go face to face and make him wither in his shoes...there is a vast amount of time left, but, this is what I am looking for...my mind is not made up...

Da sports...

The mighty Padres are flexing their muscles and their YOUTH...in another smash mouth W at Petco...lambasting the team from Saint Looey....5 dingers and a solid 12-2 victory...shhhh, don't look now, but SD is in the running for a wild card slot....ah, as above, there is a lot of time left...

All stars?...figure it will be closer, Kirby Yates...and since the manager of the Bums picks the reserves...maybe he might choose another Pad?...wishing and hoping, more than a reality....

The NBA blokes go a scattering about today, rollicking into their new towns...maybe, that should be frolicking....keep an eye out on Kawhi, KD, and Kyrie...might there be some trades, too?....CP III may go somewhere new...and your Blazers will stay pat...

Such a great story in the PGA...as a 36 year old has not only picked his life back up from a tragedy...where he lost his parents and his girl friend in an airplane crash...but has found his game...and is rocking the field in Detroit...Nate Lashley...not sure if I have ever pulled for a guy MORE to win an event...

Did you see one of the names in the upper echelon in the LPGA T?...none other than Paula Creamer...the Pink Panther has re-emerged!...another hope for a nice finish for her....been like forever...

And...

This whatever cold that we have...not only got us bad, but kept us from being with the grand baby...boo...do any of you out there in Horse land have it?...ugly stuff...

4th of July big bang...so hope we are well enough by then to party down, Garth...

Beisbol should not be played on a soccer field...

Thanks for a waiting for me blog today...took a while...
