50 Years Ago

Image
Before you just say, 'here he goes again...'...bear with me...the significance of 1969 was unbelievably a stronghold on our history here in the great US of A... FIFTY YEARS AGO! ...it's hard to believe that it has been that long of time that has passed...my senior year in college...well, my first one...ha ha...here is a brief glimpse of what I am talking about...some of these thoughts are backed by some great photos... The US landed a man on the moon...in a completion of the desires of Pres JFK, we continued on with his plan to have the mission done...NASA was huge in the 60's, and really, in the 70's too..."one small step..."...you must know that the advent of TV news was taking off...none of this 24 hours a day stuff...national news was 15 minutes, and after some of these events of '69 , they expanded the time to 30 minutes...there were three that we all followed, CBS, NBC, and ABC...really...for you in one of the younger generations, people re...

Hold Outs

Image
Afternoon, kids...had a way early tee time and had no time to talk...now I do...let's just say I am a tired doogie...95* out at the course, and little wind...makes for a very HOT round ...on the 16th tee, I was sweating big time...this after loads and loads of agua...still...can't imagine how the blokes in the desert do it... The item for this day, has to do with the upcoming NFL camps ...as we all get ready to draft our fantasy football teams...I mean, this is all for you and I, right?...who is hurt, who is in tip top shape, and what does the FF magazine say?...alas, the one thing that keeps coming up... the money that running backs want. ..and are willing to sit out, until they get the cash that they think they deserve... HOLD OUTS! ...which affects their teams, and more importantly, how this affects the fantasy draft...c'mon, get real... One of the said RB's, is the dude from the vagabond Chargers , Melvin Gordon ...listen, I hope the best for the Bolts...w...

And Furthermore

Yes, I wrote my blog yesterday AFTER the conclusion of the Mueller stint on the Congressional floor...I listed my takeaways from the occurrence...today, the headlines are the 5 that my different web sites declared as theirs...ah, MSN did a one up, and bragged that they had SIX ...ha ha...unfortunately, in the end...it will be another day in the life of this sitting President...more brouhaha...more name calling...more self denials...more Tweets...and for goodness sakes, that screeching voice of his, BELLOWING out his latest accusations and... bullying tactics ...not sure if you saw his, undressing of a NBC reporter, after her asking a Q of him... he was disgusting and, well, he thinks he can do and say...whatever he wants... and furthermore... My concern is that the followers of him, are passionate about their path...just don't get it...I just don't get it...I talk to them...I listen...I want to argue...but, there is no give...it is what it is...I don't underst...

The Mueller Interrogation

Image
After 2 sessions of the House of Reps interrogating Robert Mueller ...we have some interesting observations...first of all, that we ( so few of us have read the Mueller Report) are extremely vulnerable to our biggest enemy in the world, the Russians...that they are still manipulating our voting process and system...the largest moment of the sessions, is that they are embedded...does this not scare the hell out of you?...it should... A personal sidelight...I have said repeatedly, the first thing I would do, would be to hire a multitude of geeks...to solidify our web net...as large a number as needed...to deal directly with the likes of the Russians...and I'm sure others, ie, the Chinese...Trump has not done this...of course... His incessant Tweeting went ballistic after the end of the last session...repeating his bellows of 'no collusion, no obstruction'...and they went on...more ridiculous statements of his poor poor pitiful me...is there a worse one than 'preside...

Boris

Image
Our very neighborly United Kingdom, ah across the pond...just elected their new Prime Minister...an ally of the Brexit movement there... BORIS JOHNSON ...who has been all about their political field, as Foreign Minister, a member of their Parliament, as well as an advisor for like...forever...the rep from their Conservative Party...is a friend of (supposedly) of Donald J Trump...actually, has quite a personal look, eerily similar to Donny...egads...American born, it has been said...hey, I am not judging, just printing what is what...a good thing for the Brits?...the first thing on his agenda, is how to handle the crisis in Iran...so, let's see what he does... I got some memos that the reason for Iran's aggressive actions lately, has to do with Trump's embargoes on their country....that they are hurting...thus, they are lashing out...listen, kids, that very well could be the impetus...not disagreeing...my comments have to do with, watch out for them and....what are we (...

Shocker!

Image
I can't emphasize enough about the rise of tensions with IRAN! ... they have been testing the waters , recently...and it's just not the USA...witness, the apprehension of two British tankers... blatant disregard for repercussions, I fear ...or will there be?...today, they announced that the have arrested 17 US CIA agents ...and have sentenced some to DEATH! ...in a most bizarre response, the Trump regime said that this all was FAKE NEWS! ...that Iran is prone to lying...wait a minute, kids...let's look at why they would release this ...I can't give you ONE good reason!...NONE!...there has to be merit to it, and I repeat what I have been saying way too much recently... who do YOU believe?... To add to his discomfort, Trump will be on the hot seat... HOT SEAT ...this Wednesday, as Robert Mueller will bring to life his report ...of course, Donny has let out a flurry of Tweets, lambasting Mueller...helping set up a very informative day on the Congressional floor....

The Open

Image
Shane Lowry is the home guy, that has a 4 shot lead in the Open...Scotland, er Ireland...one of the two, or both...by all accounts he is a class dude, and I'm tickled that he has a chance at the major...who could come from behind?...Rickie has to put together a huge run...if ya'll want a Yankee to win...Tommy Fleetwood is the closest...so much depends on the weather...if bad, NOBODY can catch Lowry... The mighty Padres continue to wallow in the mud...well, lose...listen, they are better...but, good lawdy, the decisions by Mgr Green in the 9th were just...awful...took his team out of an opportunity to tie the game...bunting, in Chi Town, where it is not needed...sending a guy on a steal...and POOF!...there it goes, the chance...and the game...wonder if he talks to his assistants?... HEAT!!!. ..the midwest and well, the east...are getting record heat temps...witness the people at da Cubbie game...they actually cheered when the wind picked up...really... I need to restat...
