Just THINK!


Before YOU go off on a defense of, or an accusatory rant...of the latest mass shootings, and killings...of children...put YOURSELF in the situation...a parent dropping off YOUR grade school child at school...as YOU meander off to do whatever YOU do...work, household, attend school YOURSELF...whatever YOU do...assuming that YOUR loved one is safe and at the school...

Which has taken hours and hours of dedicated time...to protect all that inhabit that space...security, locked doors, prepped teachers and staff, trained for the horrific things that may happen...that hopefully, will never occur...at YOUR school...

And then it happens...a shooter...young, as usual...armed himself with newly bought assault rifles...flak jacket...ammunition...with the intent of assassinating as many people as he can...this time, it is grade school kids...YOUR kid...how can this happen?...

YOU turn to whatever YOU can...religion?...why God?...why?...family?...spouse?...all so helpless...life seems to stop...as it should...now, just THINK!...

This is not unique...it has occurred often in the past in the country...the USA, supposedly the safest place on earth...some call for better mental health checks...OK...some call for tougher laws on guns sales...OK...some call for all teachers to be armed with their own guns...OK...some say that God will protect them...OK...some say for better background checks on potential gun buyers...OK...there are more...

In a few days, in the same state of these latest murders...Texas...the NRA is having a convention...featured speakers include the present Texas Governor Abbott, the Texas Senator Ted Cruz, and the hammer, former President trump...imagine...

For the life of me...I have never been as angry as I am now...what are our elected officials doing?...over and over, we see horrific bouts of killings, due to the assault rifle availability to all the people in America...Congress throws out their 'thoughts and prayers' and does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!...

We have but one option at our disposal...and that is to VOTE wisely...

Moving on...

A head cold...is what I thought...have had them over the past years a few times...we were to head on up to Montecito, to see the kids and their kid...our kids...all of them...but, to be sure...took a Covid test for safety...hey all, after 4 Covid shots...all the boosters I can have...the Horse has Covid!...WTH?...canceled everything...notified everyone I have been around...4 letter word, 4 letter word, 4 letter word...

Symptoms?...just the head cold...fortunately...but am quarantining for 5 days and then will test again...Boss tested negative...TG...we are in jeopardy for the Nashville trip...at the end of next week...

Sports...the Warriors mailed one in...same reason I gave yesterday...the Pads lost, as we went to Stammen, who can't pitch on the MLB level...he gave up a dinger...why?...why do I know that, and management does not?...

The interview of Steve Kerr on the latest assassinations...'we are being held hostage by 50 Senators'...is so telling and right on...as I said earlier, VOTE wisely...the only real say we have...

Not a good day, May 24...

Pete, you always amaze me with your insights and perspective. Thanks for writing this Blog. Always entertaining and often introspective. Sorry about the Covid. These school shooting are a senseless and selfish act. What is the answer? You mentioned several possibilities. I agree with all…and the final solution Vote wisely. Take care…~ RB

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...
