What's Going On?

I keep referring to the similarities of the early 70's...the protests, and yes, the mob mentality that erupts from them...sadly...might there be a better song for this?...'What's Going On?' by Marvin Gaye...

The issues are different...but, the passion is the same...how else can one voice their displeasure?...take it to the streets...then, we were talking college and university campuses, for the most part...now, we are seeing the cities of our great nation, enduring the path of the protests...

Then, why does the result bring with it the riots?...and the awful parts of it...the looting...the tearing down of YOUR own cities...the burning of structures, cars...why?...this is a good thing?...I will never understand the rationale...the protesting, yes...the destruction, no...is there a sinister group behind this phase of the 'mob?'...

Marsh has said something that I think would be prolific...have the TV people, well, those covering the seemingly countless protests, interview the individuals involved...where are they from?...what are their concerns?...of course, you will get the finger pointing, the swearing, the gesturing...but, behind all that, there will be a truth that will stand up...a view that is needed by all...

Speaking of 'standing up'...there is none of that happening from the leadership of the country...a telling part of just how we are governed....his Tweets of threats, are not what 'WE' need...that only thing that that does, is shield himself...what is so needed, is the calming effect of the top position in the Nation...and, we are NOT getting that...the protection of all the people...

So often, the path of destruction has always been...OVER THERE...somewhere else...not here...and with the countless cities having to endure this...it has taken over most of the country...cooler heads MUST prevail...civility must return...as even in the smallish community of Salem, Oregon...there were protests...troubling, were the armed owners of the businesses, protecting their own...is THIS what we have come to?...

Perhaps, the commentary from a song may drive it home...in Snooki's song of the day...'Imagine' by John Lennon...'You may say that I am a dreamer...'...

As I said yesterday, I have no solutions...answers?...no, just more questions...we, the people, must find the path...the right one...the search is on...but, there has to be a better way...than the one that is currently being used...is NOT the right one...

Probably no better time to call for the rallying cry of...

PEACE!

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...

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.....

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
