Frankly

Hey Hey, it's the weekend! ...time to sleep in (not)...take the boat out to the bay (no boat)...fire up the grill (the home won't let us have a charcoal one)...sit down with a cup of Joe and read the paper (not arrived)...turn on some new music (there is none)...ah, shoot, it's still Saturday... FRANKLY , my dear, I don't give a damn what the negatives are... The hot topic everywhere in my reading span of web net sites...is...that the dude who allegedly used gals (all ages) for sex for a lot of....himself and some very rich type of friends.... Jeffrey Epstein ... committed suicide in the Manhattan jail he was locked up in...hmmm, this was his 2nd, and final attempt...successfully...do you find it odd, that this was done?...don't they put a guy like this on a suicide watch?...I dunno, I see it on the pixels all the time... Speaking of Trump , wasn't I?...he has signed on to a (another?) very controversial movement in Alaska...after meeting with that states...

You Ready For Some Football?

Morning, kids...ah, just a few too many shots or something...but the Horse is feeling it today...just how old is he, anyway?... a day at the races, Neuman Style ...fun, nevertheless...for you out of towners, it is at the Del Mar Race Track ...about 20 minutes north of the Gaslamp...terrific venue... Yesterday, too, had most of the NFL teams started up this season...who do you follow?...since the Chargers bolted to LaLa, I have given my attention to the Tennessee Titans ...I am mildly interested in the rookie QB's scattered throughout the league...the kid at Phoenix...the dude in NY...even though they play but a quarter, you still get a glimpse of what they can do...at that level... For you collegiate fans , it's the end of the month...that they go...yup, can't wait... The mighty Padres got game number 1 versus the Rockies over at Petco...this is a good thing...if we could finish at .500 that would be a major step up...baby steps, I reckon...at least that shoul...

Chilling Numbers

It was a surreal day of the viewing of Trump , trying to do the right thing...I guess...as he visited the last two cities that were inflicted with massacres ...the problem is...or was...that he was not entirely welcome ...hey, I'm sure there were many who liked his idea...and there we go...the divide of the country that now exists bigger than the 50's... As I have been incensed by the lack of action that is needed, yes, in MY view, to curb the availability of rapid fire guns ...I happened on a most CHILLING article...and graph, if you will... a list of ALL the mass murders in the USA from 1982 until this past week ...the numbers are staggering...it lists the deaths, the injured, the killer (s), and the place it happened...it is called the Mother Jones, Mass Shootings...1982-2019 ...find it, Google it...it is a must read...you may, just may, change your way of thinking on the guns issue... Many people like to use this day, as 'Throwback Thursday' ...and post th...

Confusion

Image
The grieving...the aftermath...the funerals...and those who will be injured forever...physically and mentally...emotionally...goes on and on...and in the space of time, there comes the need of this President...to show his face...bellow out his 'thoughts and prayers'...to those inflicted areas of Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas... There is hatred...towards the killers...tied into the rhetoric that is rampant from this present inhabit of the White House...the crowds of the masses...are in those cities...it is apparent that Trump will NOT face the people...he will be behind closed doors...terrified of what is in the streets...passionate Americans... All the while, he has watched his Democratic opponents...made note of what they  have been saying about him...Tweeting rebuttals...sure, while he is on his grieving plane trip...just what do we have here?...some one that just doesn't get it...I am ashamed and embarrassed of and for him... He is about to touch down in El Pa...

Time For Action

Image
Lost in the day's rhetoric of blame ...is the very real oncoming days of opening the school doors ...as millions of US kids enter and walk through them ...how many parents and children, FEAR that their path may be obstructed by a crazed killer with an assault rifle?...why are the Congressionals, and of course, Trump, so hesitant to act on this extreme danger?... Baby steps ...so it is said... get the rapid fire guns banned ...some have said that you can't get them all...but, let's try...as it is TIME FOR ACTION! ...that means those in power have to stand up to the NRA lobby ...makes no difference if one is Democrat or Republican... DO THE RIGHT THING! ...this notion of 'thoughts and prayers' being the answer is not only pointless but absurd... As I was reading my 23 sources this am, I was struck by all the stories of those who lost their lives...and on the other hand, the number of evasive comments that the leaders used to shift the blame of the massacres...

Brace Yourself

Image
I wish I was going to bring you some good news...just some...but, I am not...instead, I am shouting out a WARNING! ...with the aftermath of the horrific week of massacres, the country is in need of some guidance, assurances of calm, adjustments of rapid fire gun sales, and the much needed peace that anyone in the USA can walk down the street and be SAFE!... However, I must tell you to brace yourself ... Trump is on the tele right now, shouting out his plan...a deeper background check for those buying the guns (duh)...tying it into a bill that deals with the 'illegal immigrants'...for most of the day, the news on the pixels dealt with the massacres...the pain and sorrow that the people had to go through...tragic...but, no mention whatsoever about the remedy... NOBODY talked about the banning of the rapid fire rifles...No ONE!... You see, there is great fear in the USA if ANYONE stands up to the NRA ...who will be eerily silent for days...their mantra is to be out of the ...

Massacre (s!)

Image
In utter disbelief I woke up to a memo on my phone about the massacre of fellow Americans...thinking this was a slight delay in the aftermath of the tragedy in El Paso ...then read that it was but ANOTHER shooting...in Dayton, Ohio ...9 more killed, amongst at least 20 others shot...yes, my fellow readers, TWO MASSACRES! ... How much of this can go on, before our Congressional People do SOMETHING?...stand up to the NRA and ban the assault rifles...this nonsense about its not the weapons that kill, but the deranged shooter...has to stop...just wondering how many shot people does it take for a Rep and a Senator to react?...even, the (gulp) Prez?...'we are sending our thoughts and prayers'...sure seems to be mighty shallow, don't you think?... Where is it safe to go, in these present times?...think about it...we have witnessed massacres in most every place possible...malls, restaurants, bars, movie theaters, churches, schools, concerts, and on and on...what MORE has to ...
