Army Navy Game

For as long as I can recall, I have watched the battle of the service academies play their rival football game...pulled for the Cadets, as that is where my eldest brother went to college...United States Military Academy...there is more to the story, but suffice to say, that is enough for the blog...the level of play, probably not as high as the very good teams in the country...but, really, who cares...as there is so much passion, honor, and tradition on display...not only on the field, but in the stands, and the power of the 2 schools alumni, throughout the World...either retired, or on duty, representing the USA wherever they are stationed...in protection of us...

Their cries of 'Beat Army' or 'Beat Navy' is but a brief respite in their everyday job...the result of this season's game?...Navy dominated...with a terrific performance by their QB slash running back...did so for over 300 yds...and it was as one sided as the score...31-7...still, the pomp and circumstance, made me watch 'til the end...the singing of their anthems...

Over, er down under...there, in Australia...the Americans pulled off a quaint little rally and beat the International Team...16-14...ah, doesn't get closer, unless they tie...I suppose there are some who get into the us against them stuff...I like parts...but, enjoy more...the quality of play...how these Pros can manipulate the little golf ball around...and into the hole...under pressure...Tiger is STILL at another level of golf...truly is amazing to gander at the best dude EVER to play the game, continue his talent...at his age...way coo...

You maybe know my penchant for the misnaming of the best player in the collegiate ranks...the Heisman Trophy...not who wins, but, who it is named after...which I have covered before...check it out...anyhoo, notwithstanding, the winner this season was the QB out of LSU...for moi, I would wait until the bowl games and playoffs have concluded...THEN, have the vote...

Maybe this is a bit much...but Teerump was in attendance at the Army/Navy game...and...stood out like a sore thumb...did you see this?...it was NOT, where's Waldo?...more, like what doesn't belong here?...I digress...

How is your present hunting going?...ah, Jr, I didn't say pheasant hunting...with or without a tag...the completion of said tasks, become quite laborious at times...finding the perfect gift...then, hoping it really is...will it fit?...the right color?...did you save the sales slip?...c'mon, these are the real Q's that must be answered...we are using our upcoming Vegas trip as our duo gift...yet, something must go under the tree...so...

Later on last eve...I was watching some highlights of the college hoops...on ESPN, I think...the Ducks beating Michigan was one...nice W...but, here we go...the other part of the presentation...was showing the Duck Ladies in their win...what?...must say, that was a first that I have seen...was it because right after the win, this old NBA Pro, wanted to get into the winner's photo?....one Kobe Bryant, who is a big fan of the Ducks...listen, kids, these gals are good....really good...it's just not UConn anymore...

This week will be monumental for the House of Reps...as they will vote in total, as to whether or not...Impeach Trump...the fact that it will happen, is one more significant measure of how this government shall work...there will be side stories...there will be acts that will confuse us all...before I pass on added comments, let's just take this one step at a time...maybe, one could count the number of Tweets coming from the White House as a measuring stick...his cry of 'the do nothing Democrats'...will be first and foremost...maybe...they will do at least one thing...maybe...Impeach him...

Time for some Red Zone...I tell ya, cuz, I got no fantasy team, I am not looking at who is playing whom...just sit back and enjoy the games...


Finally, on this day back in 1980...our lives were changed forever, as our son Cristopher Allan Joseph, was born....then, this past year...he and his wife, Leila, had their first son...Cyrus Allan Joseph....it has been another good year...

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...
