Retaliation

The headline for today, is how the US retaliated for the drone attack...coming from?...well, that is what is unclear...at least to the public...killing 3 soldiers and wounding more than 40...Prez B promised a return of fire...the countless news sources said it was from an Iran backed group...listen, kids, that could be a number of possibles...you know them...the Hezbollah or the Houthis, for probables...thing is, as I have said repeatedly, the entire area is combustible...

Yesterday, was the mission...85 pointed strikes in Iraq and Syria...EIGHTY FIVE?...how many camps are out there that we have to address?...the report is that there are 16 dead and 25 wounded, this according to Al Jazeera...of course, Iraq and Syria, promise retaliation...here we go...it was just a matter of time...despite the overture of the radical right, we had no strikes in Iran...

OK, at the home front...we continued on with the Spielberg/Hanks series 'Masters of the Air'...wooah, it does put you right in the cockpit and the other spots on those flying bombers of WWII...metal, arms, petrol, and a crew of youngins...War is Hell...and this series is RIVETING!...

San Diego...the 2nd wave of possible monstrous rain...to hit here, it is predicted on Sunday...wonder how long this will last and be lasting?...the effects of...as we are scheduled to go via Cosmo at the end of next week...up the coastline, north...that could be in limbo...

'Polk Salad Annie'...have no idea why this came into me noggin'...it was the dance song, that seemingly all the bands covered back in my dancing days...Tony Joe White, was the original...back in '69...college days, mi amigos...then, Elvis, put his stamp on it...huunh, huunh...listen to it, it had a great beat...

Speaking of Elvis...he never wrote any songs...he may have tweaked a few...but, write?...naw...the 1st he got credit for, sort of...was 'All Shook Up'...hey, he wasn't even the first to record it...David Hill, was the original...for kicks, listen to that version...

As we await the Sooper Bowl, it is time for the silly weekend...the All Star game...which now...is with flags...yup, the All Stars play flag football, rather than the padded game...JCC, and this cat won't watch a second of that trash....I'd rather watch a tennis match...

Did you know there is a Halle Bailey AND a Hallie Berry?...gets me all confused...I thought that they were the same...

From 1882 to 1968, there were 4,743 lynchings in the United States of America...the highest number of lynchings occurred in Mississippi, with 581 recorded...this according to the NAACP...these were the documented ones...

Going to leave you with this...trump...owns hotels, golf courses, and extravagant get aways...and YOU, the common man, can't either afford to stay there, even get on the grounds, or dream about setting your body near the complexes...ONLY the rich tycoons can...yet, YOU, idolize this guy...YOU are what he calls 'his people'...YOU, you forever, are a pawn...just a pawn...that he uses at his whim...like get him elected...
