Well…sitting here waiting for my son to come over so it’s a good time to do this…oh, and I won at pool yesterday….slept pretty crappy again last night and I am worn out today so far….not sure what is going on but I don’t like it….it was a pretty good day yesterday but I didn’t get a lot done…I did get some cleaning done so I wouldn’t have to do that this morning…not sure how much I’m going to get done today…I am going to get a bike ride in after the Man U match at 10 but I think that will be in full thermasuit since it will still only be in the 30′s…I am looking ahead to next weekend when it is going to be in the 50′s for three days straight and with every good day, we are getting closer to spring….okay, need coffee and to watch some soccer….more later….

Mike Flynn and the Russians..
Well….I can’t understand why the Russians meddling in our election has fallen out of the news but maybe Mike Flynn (the National Security Advisor) admitting he was in contact with the Russians during the campaign will bring it back into the spotlight. This should be an impeachable offense for the idiot trump since I can see quid pro quo written all over these meetings…kind of like this…”if you can help us get elected, we’ll get rid of the sanctions on you from attacking the Ukraine”…wink wink….don’t even need the winks here…it was blatantly putting their own election over the United States foreign policy and telegraphing that trump would be a lapdog for Putin…just as we see unfolding right before our eyes…where are you repubs? Get started on the impeachment….
February 10th
Well….feel pretty crappy this morning and I’m not sure why…I don’t think I ate enough yesterday and that may be it…only had about 1200 cals yesterday and I need more than that even without riding the bike….didn’t get a lot done but a little work around here but I need to do better today with my son coming over early tomorrow….slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of and that is a little disappointing with having some good ones earlier in the week…not too sore this morning but I am creaking around here today with stiffness…just can’t get everything loosened up and that is annoying….just will not give in to being old….need to clean today but that is not going to happen until I get more coffee…..more later….
The trump shopping network…
Well….if it wasn’t bad enough that the tasteless, classless trump hung gold all over the white house, now his staff is turning it into the trump shopping network. This morning, one of his chief idiots, Kellyanne Conway went on the air from the white house to hawk Ivanka trumps clothing line..yep, she actually did a commercial for her clothes on government time when she is being paid by the government. Not only is this the most classless thing that has ever been done in the white house, it is also illegal…so the law and order repub administration, three weeks in, has broken federal law for the umpteenth time….what are you going to do about this repubs…nothing of course, since you are a bunch of shameless hypocrites that spent 8 years crying about the lawless Obama administration that did not break the law….get on it and do something…
Don’t trust Gorsuch…it’s a front…
Well….the news is buzzing this morning with the “disagreement” that the SC nominee, Neil Gorsuch, is supposedly having with the idiot trump over trumps attacks on the judiciary after they slapped him down on his immigration fiasco…don’t believe it. Gorsuch is such a right wing corporatist who doesn’t believe in voting rights, or women’s rights to choose that they needed to do something to make him appear more moderate than he is…and what better way than to fake a disagreement with the idiot trump? This is all a front to sell his nomination to the American people and give the repub senators that are going to vote for him cover when they do…making him appear independent when he will be trump’s toady and supporting the worst of the fascist trumps ideas that will ruin this country even more than anyone can predict…..mark my words, this is all just a scam…you’ll see…
February 9th
Well…crap…thought I was going to have another nice night of good dreams and sleep last night but no…oh,well….not too sore this morning and I have been productive already with getting the grocery run done…but, it is cold out there…only 14 degrees and the wind is blowing like crazy…below zero wind chill and I froze just getting the groceries in the car…it is supposed to warm up over the next few days and I look forward to that….need to get cleaning done today and tomorrow since my son is coming in sat with my new laptop…the guys at plex did a software update yesterday and took the whole system down and that is annoying…didn’t realize how much I used it until now….I did get my fed taxes done yesterday and now I can pay my car insurance…might have to use the rest of it for a new phone since they have stopped supporting the software for the old one….can’t believe you can get a nice laptop for less than a damn phone….more later….
Add another one to the B-3 count…
Well…sitting here watching the 2016 New Orleans jazz festival and Elvis Costello and there is a B-3 being used on stage..on the left hand of the stage just like most of the rest….so, add another one to the B-3 count….
France and Yemen now school the idiot trump…
Well…another day, another couple of countries understand that there is no dealing with trump…..the president of France was just dumbfounded after a phone call with the idiot trump…he couldn’t keep a train of thought and just ranted about unrelated stuff all through the call…going off on everyone who questioned him and made a bunch of personal attacks throughout the call….real presidential and that makes one more country that doesn’t see the point of even talking to trump….and then there’s the botched raid in Yemen that killed over 30 civilians, didn’t get any of the terrorists that were the target of the raid, and that was authorized over dinner without any military people even being there…just his son-in-law, and the racist Bannon…and the result of that raid and of banning anyone from Yemen coming into the country? Yemen has just said the US can go to hell and get out of the country, not allowing any more anti terror raids there when Yemen is a hotspot for terror organizing…boy, that sure makes us more safe doesn’t it trump? What an ignorant idiot…repubs, where the impeachment?
Racism silences Elizabeth Warren…
Well…how much clearer is the overt racism of the repubs these days when they defend a known racist, Jeff Sessions, by using a senate rule that was put in place in 1902 to protect another racist in the senate from being called on advocating the murder of AA’s? And to have the turtle McConnell silence her just when she was reading a letter from Coretta Scott King from the 80′s that made clear that Sessions was a racist then and should be excluded from consideration to be the new AG. Back in the 80′s Sessions was up for a federal judgeship and had such a racist trail that he couldn’t get approved then, but in the new repub party that doesn’t matter…the only thing that matters is power to them and they really like the idea of having a racist AG who will take voting rights away from those damn minorities who vote for the dems. This one is a two fer for the repubs…they shut up an uppity woman who dares to think she is equal to the men in the senate but they then allowed two male senators to continue to read the very same letter…these actions distill what the repubs are about these days…hatred for women and minorities are at the top of their agenda…and this crap needs to be slapped down hard….
February 8th
Well….slept okay last night and had dreams of being in a movie with lots of fast cars…and here’s a weird thing, I was driving a twin turbo Corvair…all of you out there that are near in age to me remember the Corvair…not a performance car by any means and I never owned one so I’m not sure where that came from….strange….feel okay this morning after being good for three days in a row and tonight will make it four…..I did get out and get my hair cut yesterday and I really needed it…had to get more allergy stuff since they are really bad and I can’t breathe at night….not too sore this morning and that is a welcome departure from the past few weeks…actually feel pretty good this morning…think I’ll try to get my taxes in today since I just got my 1099′s yesterday….and I can use the cash….don’t have a lot to do today….I have already put some ribs in the oven to cook low and slow for lunch and then there is soccer this aft but that is about it…more later…
