7 Mass Shootings in 7 Days...in the USA


Tragedy on all levels...throughout our country...the MASS SHOOTINGS!...where is it safe?...seems like we had this conversation a while back...the exact same one...at that time, we were talking church, movie theater, night club, school, even grade school, recreation yard, in cars, on military bases...the list goes on and on...add to that recently, massage parlors and now...grocery stores...what the H?...in fact, we have had this in the USA...>

7 Mass Shootings in 7 Days!...

Usually, the mode of the killings is via the AR-15...accompanied by a handgun or two...shoot, I may have the name of the assault rifle wrong... I am not a gun toter...but, the fact that they are readily available for anyone, is beyond me...the common man does not need one of these...shouldn't have it...and there should be a law against it...of course, one of the first defendants of the gun, was the NRA this am...guns don't kill, but people do...right, but if they weren't readily available, the % would certainly go down...


Colorado, who has had way too many mass shootings...has to deal with the one yesterday...the Q is always, WHY?...10 people murdered this time...10!!!...imagine the heartache of all...for you who believe otherwise, it's your prerogative...but, I think, in these cases, the death penalty shall be available...not mandatory, but available...

Let's move on to more calming things....sorry...

Maybe not so....the dilemma on the southern border...the amount of youth that have traversed over it...forget about political crap for the time being...BUT, the fact that people would risk their lives to flee their country where they were born...for a chance elsewhere...I hear the Americans say, but not here...is this 'our' problem?...the world's former police force....I don't have an answer...just a query like you or I must have...

Have to go the Big Dance...as another one of the 'favorites' was whittled down by a Pac 12 team, the mighty Ducks of Oregon...whupped Iowa easily...and...how about USC rocking Kansas?...wooah...5 of the sweet sixteen are from the Pac 12...so wrong were the ESPN pundits...so wrong...Prez O was right on...as was Bill Walton...hmmm....

In the Ladies version...the Ducks won over South Dakota, who actually missed like 25 straight shots in the 1st half...ah, what?...25!...many were clangers, too...

The passing of one of my fav hoopsters of all time...Elgin Baylor...86...a Laker star...but, was a 'hero' of mine when he played at Seattle U in the late 50's...I actually had a coach that played on the same team with him, Roger Judd, when he was at the College of Idaho, his first years of hooping in college...

The spring break mess in Miami...throwing BEYOND caution to the wind...their lives...terrible...

Snooki's song of the day...'Leave The Door Open' by Bruno Mars, Anderson, Paak & Silk Sonic...OK, my older elder PNW senior citizen, you have me baffled on this one...you are so much more hip on current tunes, than moi...I confess...


You watching Idol?...they had duets last nite...it was cool...there is some real talent...too early to figure the top 5 yet...

Today, our son opens up his NEW DENTAL OFFICE to the public!...if you live in the Montecito/Santa Barbara area, check it out...

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...
