The Un-Civil War

Image
For as long as I have lived...well, up until 2020...the very contentious football game pitting the Oregon Ducks and the Oregon State Beavers...that would be held right after Thanksgiving... in November, duh...that would pit the the masses who cared...to one side or the other...in good fun...it was called 'The Civil War Game'...that's all...we would wear our fav team's colors...and root root root for our guys... Things have changed...as the name went down...due to political and social means...egads, flimsy stuff in the Horse's book...wait, do I have a book?...not sure if there is a name attached to it anymore...too bad...then UO and others, fled the Pac12...to the Big 16, or whatever it is now...and this matchup was in jeopardy...cooler heads prevailed, and the game is still on...both teams enter at 2-0...the Ducks are favored by 16 1/2...what?...them Vegas boyz are coo coo...it is a toss up... Anyhoo, it is a 12:30 kick off... Yahoo has Kamala up by 5 points, this j...

No Mas!

The results of the Debate...are staggering for trump...in a bad way...try like he may, to sway even his forevers...it was simply devastating to his campaign...yet, my good friends, it showed who he really is...and for once he stumped me...really...in light of the unsurpassed arse kicking...he then has said...NO MAS!...to put it in Haitian language...he will NOT debate Kamala again...one would think...let's say that again...the Horse thinks that he has to get back up on the saddle and give it a go...as, as is, he is on a downward spiral...this thing called MOMENTUM...that VP Kamala Harris HAS!...is just rolling along, and getting bigger and bigger... You will see the MAGA empire, ah, that is what it is?...crumble about...name calling...FROM WITHIN!...already started, as MTG has gone after the super influencer of the radical right (redundancy?), Laura Loomer...until yesterday, I had no idear who she was...who her herself, then went after Senator Lindsey Graham....a staunch trump ally...

Quick Vacay

Image
Good afternoon, all...we took a quick vacay up to Temecula...and NO, we did not feel the LA earthquake...a 4.7 one, somewhere about the Malibu Beach region...7 miles deep?...not exactly sure what that means... The reason for the season...er, trip, was to see the legendary Alabama...and stay at the site of it, at Pechanga...well, mixed reviews...lines lines everywhere lines...no bueno...to check in, to get the keys, and to get into the arena for the show...egads, what a circus...and a mess... The room was fine...but, the way the set up is for the pool...it is virtually impossible to use it, if you are staying but one day, as we were...closes at 5, and it was until 4:30 to actually get the keys...and it opens at noon...ah, what?...so much for that...we are to be out by 11... We did celebrate our 50th at the Steak House... it was super...great service and they treated us with a comp desert...the pricing was not cheap, but not extraordinary... The show...had a weird, very south feel to it....

A Powerful Message

Image
I am not going to surprise you...in my response to the DEBATE ...have not heard the numbers yet...as to how many people watched it...my guess, it is off the charts...and YES , it was a monster step for VP Kamala Harris ...as she continuously rattled trump...as he did what I thought he would do...go off script and make a foo of himself...ah, I guess that was off script...that may have been his plan all along...an inept showing of what he is all about...himself...why he is running for the office...he wants to be the supreme ruler... It started when she crossed over the stage and shook his hand ...he was dumbfounded and it did not stop...so many pundits have said that she 'baited' him...ha ha...whatever is was, it was a marvelous show of debating...by an expert...and a person wanting to lead the country...for the people... If you were in the middle of the pack, wondering who you may vote for...this DEBATE may have swung you ...it opened my eyes even more-so...she is the real deal,...

We Listen, We Watch, and We Judge

The concept of double posting...as the Horse did yesterday...was to get off my chest, the concerns I have for the country ...as they infiltrated my brain...and the words needed to emerge...judge for yourself, if they were correct or incorrect...it is the space I needed for clarity... Tonight's debate, will be the most watched political event, probably in history of the pixels ...surpassing the Sooper Bowl, too?...well, that's up to the sports junkies, who have but one item on their minds...ha ha...well, on that day, it is a true statement... The methodology used by both the debaters, will play immensely on those who are turning into the broadcast ... attacks, denials, avoidance, animated retorts will dominate the 1 and 1/2 hour show...it will be a show, right ?...as we... We listen, we watch, and we judge ...thus, pop yourselves some corn, make sure you have an ice cold beverage, or two, ready for the event...the Main Event...and for goodness sakes, don't talk during delibe...

Concerned

Image
Not sure the last time I posted twice in one day...in fact, I don't think I ever have...but, I have concerns...about too many people that may be shielded from the truth...as I see it...and how you should, too...egads, I am sounding like an evangelist...believe in my basics and all else follows...right?... I have been getting innuendos that there is only one path to follow...and it's opposite of mine...hmmm...are you listening to what trump has been saying lately?...that the masses who oppose him, he wants to incarcerate...if he gets the job...he wants to eliminate the Dept of Education...in fact, I can't keep up with all the crap that he is throwing at the wall...hoping that something sticks... He is even going as far as suggesting that the election will be stolen from him...again...do you realize the last time...he had his henchmen, follow and harass vote counters?...he had the audacity to call and beg for more votes, after the fact, in Georgia?...of course, you do... Basi...

The Night Before

Image
Morning, kids...I am here, cuz it's just too bloody hot to play golf in 103* heat ...so, you get my wisdom after all this am...the word of the day, is PREPARATION! ... as this is the night before the probable only debate between VP Kamala Harris and trump ...ha ha, even in that intro, you know where I am going with this...you MAGAs turn away... Huddling up, with their team of debate influencers...both candidates are being prepped on what to say, how to say it, and the cool way to dodge the uppercuts ...more important, is that if they can say a PHRASE that will resonate with the millions of people watching... The way that trump has worked with his cabinet, or, the way he didn't ...makes me wonder if any session of 'experts' can tell him anything...'that he doesn't already know'...he will try his best at bluffing...intimidating...and lying...his trademark for the past, what is it, ten years?...he will undoubtedly please his forevers...BUT, that's not who ...

Pay to Play

Image
The money making caper...if you are a football program in need of cold, hard, CASH...you probably will sell your soul to get it ...like agree to play a substantiated power house university...for the money...and at the same time, get your tails beat...usually badly...humiliated...in their humongous arena, filled with rabid, hostile, fans...as they are awaiting the slaughter...these BIG time schools, need their patsies...to fill up their winning schedule with 'sure things'...ah, they paid for it... So...Notre Dame...one of them rich, fat, cats...paid $1.4 million out to Northern Illinois for the pleasure of pouncing them ...got the pix?...except, yesterday...an odd thing happened...not only did NI take the moolah, but the WIN, too!...the best laid plans, went afoul for the mighty Irish... Up north, the Ducks met their match again...Boise St, whom they have never beaten over the years...it's true ...and by half, it looked like the trend was continuing...BSU had their number......
