Mistletoe Monday

Happy Monday, kids!...if you are counting, we have 16 days of shopping left...that should be enough time, right?...the tricky part is if you are doing so, via the web net...how long will it take to ship the presents?...which brings me to this...who doesn't use Amazon?...should I invest into their Prime?...next day shipping, so they advertise...any of ya'll out there have it?...is it true?...

This is the time of the year, that 'stars' are recognized for their achievements over time...in DC, at the Kennedy Center...one such recipient this year, is Linda Ronstadt...who was one of my era's best singers...in her acceptance speech, had some choice words for the present regime in the White House...doubt if they will play this, ha ha...anyhoo...they have people sing some of their hits...remember Adam Lambert's version of a Cher song last year?...haunting...so, this time around, the singer is Carrie...the report is that it was unbelievable...the broadcast will be next week...sounds like a show that one can't miss...

More NFL drama...I have no dog in the fight, so to speak...as the NE Pats hosted the KC Chiefs...two really good teams...dang if it didn't come down to a defensive stop inside the red zone by KC...unfortunately, it was marred by more inept officiating in that league...a TD by NE was not allowed, but on replay it clearly was...two of their guys, staring right at...called the player out of bounds...however, the 'rules' don't allow a look at it by replay...give me a break...you have the technology, USE IT!...makes you wonder about it all...the amounts of cash bet on these games...

The bowl games are all set...the Rose has the Ducks facing the Badgers of Wisconsin...surprised me, as I thought that it would be Penn. St, for sure...ah, the early line has Wisc by 3....good lawdy, take that and bet a bundle...then there is SDSU...playing Central Michigan...in the New Mexico Bowl...Dec 21...get this, it is the Aztecs 10th straight bowl appearance...for youse San Diegans....the Holiday Bowl has the USC Trojans versus the Iowa Hawkeyes...Dec 27...

Finally finished 'The Irishman'...let's just say, it was way over-hyped...3 and 1/2 hours...the 'drama' was a bit much...the last hour was a waste, in my estimation...tell me what you think...I give it a C-...and that is being kind...

The NBA...this season could be a laugher...as there is no one challenging the Lake Show...maybe the Clip Joint...or the Beard...but...NOBODY else has a bloody chance...they mauled the TWolves last eve...and, to continue this pattern, PDX lost again...this time to the Thunder (Sooopersonics)...

Sports in general...Russia has been banned from the upcoming Olympics...doping...oh my...and this next is a doozy...for all you hackers out there...Captain America, er, Patrick Reed, of the PGA...committed a snafu in the latest T in the Bahamas...bunkered down, hit the sand on his takeaway...a no no...and didn't penalize himself...but, replays clearly got him...take note NFL...was assessed a 2 shot penalty...well now, the Golfing People have had enough of his shenanigans...as the President's Cup looms this week in Australia...he is one of the members of the USA Team...word out, is that the Aussies are going to be ruthless towards the bloke...that country is a big golfing loving nation...drama?...

Would this bother you?...so many rumors out...that Teerump is going to pardon all his compatriots that were indicted and found guilty of whatever...well, everyone but Cohen...ha ha...would this be a slap in the judicial system?...hey, I keep waiting for the final straw...when the Repubs finally say enough is enough...and they turn on him...will happen...

Gotta bundle up and head on out to the links...wonder if the grounds will be soggy?...

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...
