Checks and Balances...


We have entered the Twilight Zone, kids...really
...as the concept of 'checks and balances' is a no longer part of how to control what is happening...say what?...the idea of 'full disclosure' is going to go, unchecked...and it has to be a derivative of the closure of the daily newspaper...the investigative reporters, are no longer...well, employed...employed where?...

Sure, we still have the NY papers...the Washington Post...the USA Today...the LA Times...but, do you have a local one?...in fact, do you even have one delivered to your house or condo?...hardly...most have day old news in them...thus, many fewer writers...so, who in fact, does the checking on the politicians?...

The editors?...so very few of them...the concept of proof of story before publishing it?...gone...kids...gone...now we have the web net...where anything goes....it truly is the 'wild wild west' of information...one can say ANYTHING on the net...in fact, say it 3 times and it becomes a pseudo 'fact'...

Imagine this...one of the major sources of 'news', is the one 'X' controlled by the right hand man of the new Prez....Elon Musk...and the other, Facebook...a now loyal puppet of trump...Zetterberg (Zuckerberg)...so...where does the checking of the occurrences of the new regime happen?...it doesn't...

Did you enjoy the pomp and circumstance of the Inauguration yesterday?...right, not me either...did see some of the vids...the weirdest one?...trump taking the oath, without his hand on the 2 Bibles that 'wild hatted' Melania had in her hands...Hillary Clinton laughing when trump said he was renaming the Gulf of Mexico, to the Gulf of trump, er America...poor Carrie Underwood, realizing that she didn't have a stage, didn't have any music, and had to sing 'America the Beautiful', acapella...she was infuriated after...as she said 'help me out, here'...your choice, gal...

How about his pardoning of the people that were involved in the coup attempt, back in the last election?...that should resurrect the Proud Boys...trump's people...man, we are in for a real ride this section of time...

Ohio State won the Natty Title...as expected...really, they won it when they beat Oregon...too bad, it wasn't those two at the end...not at first...Chip gets a ring, and that is cool...now, just try and follow the portal and see where all the players go...cha ching...$$$...

Tried to watch some more NBA...the Celts at the Warriors...oh man, this Golden St team is dreadful...don't care who is coaching them...outmanned and their new GM is a lost soul...out of his league...(Dunleavy)...BTW, Boston by 40!!!!....

Funny line and partially a 'truth'...the Melania hat, was reminiscent of Natasha on the 'Rocky and Bullwinkle Show'...

A HUGE pardon by Prez B as he left office...of Leonard Peltier...yes, the Native that has been locked up for 50 years...it's about time...

Just a curiosity thing...how many of the immigrants in Detroit have their American citizenship cards?...a different ethnicity, but is trump going after them, too?...or just Latinos?...

As 'Williams and Ree' said, 'we are all the same'...I guess not...

I saw this on the web net...copied it and thought you might get a chuckle...California, in the eyes of someone...

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...
