Bingo!

Image
B-7 ...ah, wait a second... BINGO! ...remember those days?...when the casinos went ballistic on this game?...used to be a terrific fund raiser for a number of sites, companies, and churches...so, when the casino biz was a newbie for the 'Indigenous Tribes of America'...their inception began with selling cigarettes, then alcohol, then the BINGO!...shortly after came the one arm bandits, and the rest is history...you ever wonder who ACTUALLY runs those casinos?...it's not the ITA...for sure... G-7 is actually holding a party and Donny is gonna crash it...there are times that I feel the best thing that we have going, is when Trump is on his golf courses...away from all political stuff...anyhoo, the Europeans and gasp, Trump, are meeting...they call it the G 7...recall that I have said that the Euros are joining forces to trump Trump in their own tariff war...can you even believe that this is happening?... B-11 ...the mighty Padres got hammered by ELEVEN runs to zilch......

Tariff War

Image
How'd the latest rendition of the USA / China Tariff War go?...just look at today's DOW...down half a thousand (actually -623 )...almost a quarter of a thou ( -239 ), down at the Nasdaq...as China increased the tariff reversal towards Trump...how many of you out there, even had a clue about the tariff situation...prior to Trump?... his only method of country domination ...or so, he thinks... To combat the Chinese move, Donny was thinking that if the Fed drops the interest rate , the country, er, OUR country would be somewhat happy...but...the Fed did not make a move...and Trump is IRATE! ...took to his Tweet to lambast the Fed leader...his name is not necessary...as if he can, Trump will fire him....or make it so miserable for the bloke to go to work, he will resign... The rumor is that after the bell today for the market...Donny is to unleash even more tariffs on China ...na na nee nee na na nee nee....when you fire from the seat of your pants...or what I call ...

The Land of Barbara

Morning, kids...after a 5 hour drive...with my dog Sammi...BTW, not an easy task....she has become very finicky in her elder age...we landed in the beautiful city of Santa Barbara...apparently, the land of Barbaras, right?...I mean, why else call it that?...to meet up with the nanny Marsha...and the kids with their kid...all good...man, Cyrus is just days away from being a crawler...so strong!...they are great parents...must have had great role models in their past... Barbaras?...I double dawg doubt that there are many here...but still got me thinking about that name...is it not one that was used like way back in time?...let me see...Barbara Bush...K...Barbara Stanwyck ( a real or made up name?)...Barbara Eden (came out of a bottle, like a Genie)...Barbara Hale (Perry Mason's secretary}...Barbara Mandrell (country sanger)...and there were some who were spinoffs... Barbra Streisand...Barbara WahWah...and, of course, who doesn't remember Barbi Benton...is Barbi short for Barbar...

He Said WHAT?

Image
The absurdity of his comments as the acting President of these United States... Donald J Trump ...has been ramping up lately...as he f eels the need to say whatever he wants...or thinks ...the reason?...only he knows the answer to that...but to alienate an entire section of our population with his latest is the most unpresidential, if not inhuman of all...talking the inhabitants of the US now, "any Jewish person who votes for a Democrat is guilty of ignorance or great disloyalty" ...guilty or disloyal...to whom?.... We, the people, need a leader who is reserved in what he says ...who thinks through the entire ramifications of the spoken word...prior to any release... NOT one who blurts out whatever his temper leads him to say...certainly not to alienate a portion of our citizenry ...I have sensed that the power that Trump feels, much like a dictator, has just propelled him to newer depths of belligerent improbable domination ... The eery way that he let time wipe awa...

PB & J

Image
There I go again, using these dang initials for a meaning...but, really, is there only one term for PB & J? ...I'm going to go down this road...what to eat for lunch!...some may call this another 'wackadoodle' moment by the Horse...c'mon, let's talk a bit about it...gluten free?...plant base only?...salads and fat free dressing?...or, oil and vinegar?...healthy shakes?...ham on rye?...tuna on sourdough?...OK, you get me drift...it's hard to beat a peanut butter (chunky) and raspberry jam on 12 grain organic bread ... What the H is with all this organic stuff? ...I even have seen the organic bananas ...ah, what?...you are telling me the Guatamalans (or Ecuadorians) grow these beauts without any pesticides?...we even have stores that only sell organic...just down the road from us is one...and the prices are for the birds...rich birds... you actually think that Donny has organic Big Macs every day? ...geez, I forgot to add burgers to the aforementioned lu...

Messin' With Ya Monday

Image
Hey now, it is at least a 2 cup morning ...how was your weekend?...yup, mine, too...average at best...so much talk about another bloody recession ...alas, that went away, as Trump blabbered out that there is none ...nope...no signs of it...there you go, you MUST be relieved...cuz, if he says it, it is GOLD ...right?...OK, I'm just MESSIN' WITH YA ...one more item this am... Trump is convinced that there is a 'conspiracy' to distort economic data... The Futures are mysteriously UP pretty good this am...not sure what signs we are looking at...as 1 out of 3 economic 'experts' are predicting a recession ...apparently, it will not start on this fine Monday, August 19... JT!!! ...as I thought, he didn't have a great 4th round, but it was enough to win the T ...ha ha, JT won the T ...I humor myself...as he heads to the finals...the top 30 compete...and he starts it with a 2 shot lead on the 2nd ranked dude ...up to 10 ahead of the 30th guy named...just...

JT

Image
Imagine the humility when the people out in the crowd, shout out "JT!" ...yea, sure...it's an earned thang...to become popular enough for that to happen...I mean, one has to achieve SOMETHING!...back a bit, there was but one with those initials... James Taylo r ...the singer...ah, yes, still going strong...even had an album cut that was named 'JT' ...count that as one... Along came this boy band wonder...a 'JT' ...who may have been more popular for dating Britney...ha ha...another singer of sorts...sorry, you who lurve him, but his voice is way marginal...but, he does have the 'it' factor...and makes some mighty swinging dance music...wait, 'swinging?'...I mean groovy....er, rad...far out?...nah....hip?...funky?...getting closer...what do you call it, anyway?...oh well, I am talking Justin Timberlake ...man, it must be nuclear to make all that money, and then rest on your laurels like he has....am I saying, a has been?... That has ...
