The Kentucky Derby


Being a horse race player since my high school days...at the infamous Oregon State Fair Races
...which no longer exist, my good friends...I have always had my eye out on the biggest single race of the season...The Kentucky Derby...on my bucket list (hint hint Dentist son)...anyhoo, the races down here are splendid, out at the Del Mar Grounds...a trip there is divine...fortunately, I frequent that yard a ton...

BUT, there is none like the race that happens today...in Kentucky...where 20 hosses give their all for the crown as the Best in the Biz as a 3 yr old...as often is, the handicapping of this race is nearly absurd...the credentials it takes to be even IN THIS RACE, is worthy of a look...at betting that hoss...this time, 2022, it is as hard as ever...

You want a winner?...well, so do I...the Kentucky Oaks was the JV game...and I hit it at $5 on the nose...that was yesterday...'Secret Oath', ridden by Luis Saez...listen to me, kids...not sure if it has happened before, but I like that jockey's chances in the Vahsity game...'Charge It'...there will be lots of action on Zandon, Epicenter, Mo Donegal, and Happy Jack...my long shot is Cyberknife, with Florent Gerous aboard...really, there is a case for each and every hoss in the race...I kid you not...

One more adjustment...I watch carefully as to the odds as the race nears...when a ton of bucks change the odds, I look as to why...

Elsewhere...

The Pads won game 2 vs them fish...another nail biter, as the closer was not available. and we went with  plan B...who helped scratch out the win...we are getting great starting pitching, as YU, was solid again...now, if we hit the rock more often, we could contend with them Bums...do not be selfish, Horse, we are better than ever before...as is...

Had an impromptu din din last eve with them Miracle Mackles...and the crowning glory to it all?...Boss Lady made a scrumptious Motsa Ball Soup...tonight we head on out to the bestest restaurant in the city, Eddie V's, for Mothers Day...ah, a day early...joining us, is the MM's...party on, dude...

Saw this...every time the National Anthem is played...every woman and girl, should take a knee...

Sorry chief, but if the public has little faith in the rulings of the SCOTUS, we, indeed, have a major problem in our hands...or is it, in OUR hands?...

According to HIS former Defense Secretary, Mark Esper...trump wanted to launch missiles into Mexico to destroy the drug labs...wanted soldiers to seize ballot boxes...and this...shoot the protesters outside of the White House in the knees...and you forevers, this is what you want in YOUR leader?...

You know what the 25th amendment is?...well, people around donny, talked about it often...

The most dangerous procedure done outside of the USA?...well, before the oncoming abortions?....the Brazilian Butt Lift...a 3 hour procedure that can be DEADLY...and is often performed just over the border in Mexico...'nice arse'...where did the KFam get theirs added?...bet not over the border...

I can't believe that the last paragraph is real...but, it is...22,000 cases that have gone awry...

Another non belief...in the NBA...a player cheap shots another with a slam to the head...which causes the hurt player to crack his elbow, as he hits the floor....and is out indefinitely. and the perpetrator gets a ONE GAME suspension...!?!...what?...he should be out as long as the injured guy is...BAD RULING!...

Well, treat your lady, or mom...WELL...this weekend...as it is hers to cherish...as yes...

                         CHERISH is the word...

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...
