As I Write this Morning

The onslaught of the people of the Ukraine...the pawns...by the pawns of the evil dictator, Putin...continues on this morning, as I write...the bombardment of the shells on the capitol city of Kiev...as the rapid movement of his troops...may take over the city by the end of the day...in his relentless need for power...of power...by power...while his very own people in Moscow and St Petersburg are walking the streets in PROTEST of his actions...of WAR...risking their own lives in the process...this is the will of the people or the will of the dictator?...

Kyiv?...whatever the spelling...as we watch in horror the destruction of land and man...by the orders of a madman, hungered by the greed of notoriety, and the will of fear...no, donny, this is not a trait of a smart and cunning leader...but that of a brutal dictator...who brutalizes and intimidates...

Sanctions...I wondered out loud of the effectiveness of them...as the Russian Stock Market tumbled 33% yesterday...making the elite people of the country, Russia, at the brink of losing what ever they had in the stocks...and growing disenchantment of what Putin has been doing with the troops...his pawns...

In a once in a lifetime happening...the catholic Pope, Francis...went to the Russian Embassy in Rome to personally express his concern about the WAR in the Ukraine...all angles may help...but Putin is not a listener...

As I said in the past few days...and as Prez B has said now...that Putin has greater ambitions than just the capture of the Ukraine...he wants to be the guy that re-establishes the USSR as it once was...at all costs...no one man, can stand 'til the end...he, too, will fall...and fail...hopefully, sooner than later...

Let's move on...

I thought that the PDX Blazers would give a scare into the topsy turvy Warriors...in Portland last eve...not so...not even remotely....as Golden St laid 132 points on 'em...wow...and sure, the Nets got pummeled again...this time by the Celtics...YET, Vegas still has them as the odds on favs for the Champ....???...save your cash...

Has Russia ever made a car?...a tank, yes...a plane, yes...a ship, yes...but a car?...

And please, tell me...what is wordle?...nobody has told me...

You know, I would invest into some baseball cards this time around...as they could be of value...the only year that MLB didn't play a game...even Covid couldn't stop 'em...but the greedy owners can...

This just out...the Kremlin is going to impose retaliatory sanctions on the west...ah, laughable...they need to impose them on the north, south, east and west...

And more...the Russian stock market crashed...as Russia's elite lost $39 BILLION DOLLARS !...who funds Putin?...

PEACE!

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...

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...
