Effectively Over

I guess we all can lay down our arms and call it a draw...trump announced that the trump WAR is 'EFFECTIVELY OVER!'...really?...then open the Strait...and send the troops back home...yet, on the other side of his mouth, he proclaimed that the military is 'LOCKED and LOADED'...I guess, just in case, Iran sees things differently...then he boasts back that his WAR is in the 'STATUS QUO' mode...whatever that means to him...got it?...

All the while, the House is in the process of trying to IMPEACH his Secretary of 'War'...Whiskey Pete Hegseth...this morning, the Secretary came out and gave an impromptu talk to the Press...and called it a 'political spectacle '...nope, dude, it is for real...saying that he has the full backing of the president...which, for many, is not terribly reassuring...it's like a pro coach getting the same from his owner...we back him 100%, win or tie...the only thing that will save Whiskey is if the lame duck Speaker of the House demands that the House take a break...go back home...delaying the inevitable...just a guess, mind you...

Now that the Democrats will run the House, the leadership of the minority party, the Republicans...need a new one...as Mr Peepers says he is through...the names that are in front running part of this item...egads, hold on to your toupees...Gym Jordan, and Scalise...now THERE'S a pair to draw to...er, pick from...what about Boebert?...ah, some sources say she is out...got beat...but I have not seen that officially yet...

The makings of the House is a rare delicacy...right?...now THAT'S the beauty of a Democracy...

How are you handling the ups and downs of the Stock Market?...it is based on?...shoot, I dunno...Nvidia is going thru a CEO dilemma...does that affect the numbers?...I dunno...the petrol prices are falling...not sure why...but, if we can get them back to under $2 in Cali it would be wonderful...

Football...hard to figure out who is the bomb this season...the undefeateds are going well...but are hardly the best teams in the land...the SEC has parity, and that throws everything off...the 12 teams in the BSBCS will have teams with 3 losses...no doubt...finish strong, lads...

I read that one of my old schools I taught and coached at in Salem, Oregon...their girls' volleyball team won state!...Sprague HS...terrific for them and a big shout-out to the Olys!!!...

On the downer side of things...also read that one of my old friends from the past...died...the reason was not listed...Bob Moritz...sad thing...really fun guy...geez, a fellow '65 grad...he was from SS, and I from NS...

The last 2 Senate seats, in Alaska and Mississippi, are still in limbo...too close to call...is there a timeline for a decision?...

The NFL...this could be the 1st time I have seen teams that are playing poorly trade their good guys ALREADY for future draft picks...the Colts are one of those teams...do the Chargers play them?...a chance for a win...going for number 9 at Baltimore...a Monday niter...hmmm, Ravens are only 4-5...so there is a chance...don't bet the farm...

'The Morning Show'...Apple TV...I am stunned at how well this series is acted and written...+ I don't know what will happen next...we are in Season 2...shhhh, don't you dare tell me...

The Young Rascals became The Rascals...The Rolling Stones became The Stones...and then became The Rolling Bones...Three Dog Night became the One Dog Night...and now there are no Dogs left...we all age...dang...

TC...The Correction!...
