232


When one hears or reads the number 232, people might think that it is a highway...or an area code...NO!!!...it is the number of mass shootings in the USA THIS YEAR!...as I left the writing yesterday, the news broke of another one in San Jose...at a light rail yard...the trams that are prevalent in bigger cities...9 killed, and himself...a worker there...the Congressionals 'our thoughts and prayers go out'...what should go out, is them...and the NRA and their lobbyists...and this morning, out of free and easy Texas...3 cops were killed on a routine stop at a house...I guess we are now adding that to the number...now 233...does your elected official have no shame?...what will it take?...

You tell me...I am at a loss of what to do and think...the obvious is to get the rapid fire rifles out of the hands of the common man...but, there are those who think that there are too many out there....that they own one or many, so they can protect themselves...I guess this is it...we have to start somewhere....anywhere...but, the idea of no background checks in Texas, has befuddled me...help me understand...

So, the NBA players want and love the crowds to return to their games...BUT, the fans are crazed about the return...as the passion has gone overboard...last nite, a couple of incidents...as a player got spat on in NY, and one got popcorn thrown on him in Philly...listen people, it's a game...control yourself...there you go, problem solved (sic)...ah, who is playing today?...Suns at Lakers, and Nuggets at PDX...good stuff...

Beisbol...the mighty Padres took advantage of the absurd OT rule that is in place and won the decider in Milwaukee, 2-1...and the league 'honored' the longevity of the ump, Country Joe West...a pain in the rear to the game, but he has lasted a very loooong time...how did he celebrate the tribute?...tossed out a mgr after having a pitcher change his cap...thought he may be cheatin'...

The BEST album of the day...'Teenage Triangle' by James Darren, Paul Peterson, and Shelley Fabares...OK, this is taking ya'll way back...or, me...course I had this thang for Shelley...'Johnny Angel'...

I have to go thru my stuff and see what I have from The Beach Boys...ah, Saturday Nite concert...think I have a couple of tees, a sweat shirt, and some caps...how about 'Hawaii?'...

Time for some legal issues...a grand jury...in NY...been convened to look at the trump organization...23 members, and it takes a simple majority to get something passed...12-11...supposedly they have been meeting already...3 times a week?...I think that is correct...donny q is claiming complete immunity cuz he was the Prez...don't think the GJ cares much about that...heard yesterday, that a judgment should come out within 6 months...

Ground floor...man, I have thought that this might happen long ago...but the re-emergence of Paul Ryan, in the Republican Party is happening...he will make a speech tonight in Simi Valley, Cali...and will criticize trump and his hold on the party...about time...stay tuned...


Here's a pix for this throwback Thursday...see ya maƱana...

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...
