Let's Revisit 'WOKE'


BREAKING NEWS...VP Kamala Harris has been tested positive for Covid 19...what is more alarming, is that she has had her shots, and her two boosters, to boot...we are all at risk, still, kids...

The terminology used quite often in all of the news services...'WOKE'...people glance over it and think, I suppose, what it means...think they know what it means...the Horse has done this prior, but it is something worthy of redoing...there has been usage of 'WOKE POLICE', 'WOKE BRIGADE', 'WOKE CULTURE', 'STAY WOKE', 'WOKETOPIANS', and there are others...

The past tense of wake...kind of gets it going...I woke up...but the latest usage probably, and I do say probably, started in the release of a song by Erykah Badu, 'Master Teacher'...in 2008...where she used a phrase in her song, with passion 'I stay WOKE'...with reference to racial awareness...and it caught on...

The dictionaries try to cover the definition...often using it, er, referring to it, as slang...WOKE is social and racial awareness...perhaps, the latest of the attempted definitions...as people adopt words to fit their use of the language...as righteous the word is, the 'awakening of the people' to what's really going around them...the word got caught up in the 'Black Lives Matter' marches and revolts...the chatter was often and filled with WOKE...

Of course, those who disregarded the state of those affairs, or disagreed with them...used WOKE, too...more as a negative to slash the people who were voicing their opinions of the state of affairs...yes, you know...the other side...as divisive as this country has gone...since the 50's...pretty much referring to WOKE as them...the other people...the 'WOKETOPIANS' was the slang term that one of the ever loud mouth politicians out of Florida, Matt Gaetz, came up with...pictured here, is another Floridian, the Guv DeSantis...in his STOP speech...

Is it as simple as black and white?...hopefully, this will help you try to sift through the jargon that the news services are saying and using...a better understanding of WOKE...

Moving on...

I had said yesterday, that there wasn't a winner in the American Idol group this season...well, one that is a true standout...not so fast, Horse...there is one...I'm not saying he will win...as the voting patterns on this show can be bizarre...Jay Copeland...a sleek voice that is a cross between Al Green and Johnny Mathis...yup, that good...

The Nets got hammered and are out in 4...the pundits just lost all reliability...as they had them as the winners in the east...ah, so did the Vegas Boyz...the leaders of that team, KD and Kyrie, were one on one...and got beat by a team...who'd coach those two?...not moi...

Elon Musk bought Twitter...OK, that means what?...changes?...what kind of?...is he a buddy of donny?...who'd a thunk it would cost $44 billion bucks?...ah, what?...$46.5 billion?...

Your guy trump, apparently knows the Brits situation, when it comes to the Queen...stating that Prince Harry is whipped by Meghan...and the Queen should have stripped them of their titles...our judicial system is not whipped by trump...and in NY, they have slapped a daily $10 grand fine, until he comes up with what they want...documents subpoenaed for the state attorney civil probe of his business practices...hmmm, he has always told his people to ignore the subpoenas...let's see where this goes...

One of my topics yesterday, was the right to pray...this time by a football coach...well, isn't it always?...separation of church and state in the schools...the SCOTUS is addressing the issue...stay tuned...

A quote by your guv in Florida "San Francisco is a dumpster fire"...and fears Californians importing destruction to Florida...hey foo, that should be exporting...

How can a guy, this charming looking...fire a 4th straight score in the 90's?...pull hook 10 straight drives for one...

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...
