Well…just when you thought that trump and his cronies couldn’t get any dumber….yesterday idiot boy ordered our military to murder the head of Iran’s army…and with that have set the middle east on fire no matter what they lie and say that this murder has made the middle east “safer”….but, if it is safer, why did the idiot Pompeo just tell all Americans in Iraq to run to the exits and get out right now? Look, this is just another example of the lawlessness that is rampant in this administration….not even bothering to inform the congress that has the only power to wage war…not the executive branch, not some liar of a president who is doing this for only one reason…to distract from the fact that he has been impeached and to give Moscow Mitch an excuse to go in front of the cameras and gravely say that impeachment should be put on hold in a time of war…see how convenient that is? All trump had to do was start a war and he is free and clear from the consequences of his criminality by being even more of a criminal….and the repubs are all chiming in with exactly that talking point…that impeachment of a “war time” president just can’t go on…even though there is not one “get out of jail free card” in the constitution anywhere. So now we have the most corrupt and dishonest group of criminals starting another mideast war that will cost thousands of American, Iraqi, and Iranian lives and the idiot trump doesn’t take to the tv to explain it at all since his too damn dumb to even understand what he has just done….and the rest of the world is going to pay just because this asshole just can’t stop being a criminal…this is the modern repub, folks….

January 3rd
Well…running a little late today and I’m not sure why….I did stay in bed til 6:30 so that may be part of it…I did sleep okay and had some weird dreams that were welcome after not having any for so long…I do need to ease into the day, though since I’m feeling a little slow and unmotivated right now…and I’m still getting used to the fact that they changed all of the shows I ran in the background on tv in the morning on the first of the month….I had gotten so used to the Lone Ranger that I never really thought about it or watched it as I did the first one of these and then got to catching up on the news…but now, the new shows actually get my attention which interrupts me and I’m sure I don’t like it…okay, just a little crabby this morning with the big orange idiot trying to start another war in the middle east that I will talk about later…..didn’t get a lot done yesterday after working on the bike and getting a ride in after the flat but I do need to do better today and get some cleaning done…the dust is turning from bunnies into wolves and need to be dealt with before they turn into raptors….but that is going to wait until more coffee and some news…and maybe another one of these before the ride…who knows? More later…..
It’s been a day…
Well…so, I was hoping for a nice easy day and a bike ride this morning…and when I rode over to JBP to take a look at the trails, it started out that way….the trails were snow an ice covered, as I expected, so I turned around and headed back here but got a flat just leaving the park entrance…luckily, it was a front tire and I didn’t feel like walking a mile and a half back here so I just started to ride it back here at about 3mph and waited for the tire to come off the rim as it usually does but it made it all the way back here so that was cool. So, I got back here and then headed to Meijers to get another tube and this Meijers had the Slime tubes that I like that are much thicker than the cheap Schwinn ones that I bought last time…and only 8 bucks so that made me smile a bit….so I replaced the tube, put the bike back together, and decided to scout out bike lanes on the streets around here and was able to find enough to get 10 miles in today…so, until the trails thaw, it looks like I can still ride every day…and I think I’m going to ride into the city tomorrow to just look around and see if they have any bike lanes there that may be usable after it gets warmer in the spring….I may just be able to ride outside all winter if this bike lane thing works out…pretty cool….
The media can’t do math….
Well…I really do wonder if most of the media are just stupid or if they are getting paid off to push the repub candidates. Just today, Andrea Mitchell went on her show to tout the fact that the dementia suffering trump raised 45 million dollars in the last quarter of 2019 and that it is more than any dem candidate and the dems are in trouble…yadda yadda…first…apple and damn oranges Andrea…trump is raising money for the general election while the dems are raising it for the primary season but, lets do some math and lump all of the dems together and see what the results are…with just the three that have reported so far, the dems have raised over 77 million dollars and that is without either Biden or Warren included…and their number should be close to 25 million each so, again, do we need to give the media a math lesson? Which is larger, dementia sufferer trump’s 45 million or 77 million+50 million? I’ll give you a guess but just one…yep, you got it…127 million is larger than 45 million but it seems that the media doesn’t get it. I think it’s just more of the “horserace” bullshit that the media has to push to keep the right wingers happy and continue to get access to the repubs…and that’s it….this isn’t a damn horserace, it’s the future of our country and the future of truth in our country…media, quit this bullshit and report dementia trump’s fundraising as anemic as it is….something like “dems smash trump in fundraising” would do it….and the bonus? It’s the truth so it’s a two-fer….geez….
January 2nd
Well…that ends that…I’m glad the holidays are over and things can get back to normal…even though I didn’t have a lot to do this year, it is still nice that it’s over….so, let’s get back to it…going to start getting healthier by gradually changing my diet over the next month or so…have been lazy and eating some junk food that I know I shouldn’t and that is going to end this month…okay, no these are not resolutions just realization that apples are better for me than chips so that’s where I’ll start…and no cocktails for a while, either….just don’t enjoy them like I used to so what’s the point? Slept okay last night but I think only eating a chicken leg quarter yesterday and skipping dinner is going to catch up with me later this morning…my stomach is bitching at me already so I may have to take something for it soon…yesterday was such a sports bust with all of my teams losing that I really don’t want to talk about that…oh, I already did yesterday so I don’t need to today…still sucks….didn’t get anything done yesterday but I will start to clean up some of the tools I have been using around here since the kitchen is a mess and I really don’t need all of them out…but that is going to wait for a while since I do need to have coffee first….I think I’m going to take the bike out today to look at the trails and see how bad they are after the snow Monday…they will probably be a mess but I need to get out with it already over 40…and then look for road lanes that are clear to at least get a few miles in today…more later….
Kind of a sucky sports day…
Well…I was really looking forward to all of the sports to watch today and it was okay until my teams started to play…both Michigan and Man U are stinking up the place and I really think I like games better where one of my teams is not playing….after all, you can’t be disappointed if you have no stake in it….and this year, it appears that every team that I root for is really bad and that just compounds the problem when you can’t say “at least the Wings are playing good” and have something to look forward to. Oh, well…so I think I’ll look for something else to watch other than those two games until the Rose Bowl starts at 5….and I’ll be back to politics tomorrow…I need to take the rest of the day off and just veg…still not feeling 100% with all of the pain I’ve been having and my lungs are still iffy so I’ll use that for an excuse….
January 1st
Well…another year starts and the good thing is that I don’t have to be depressed about paying over 800 bucks in rent….I did sleep okay last night but feel a little slow this morning with having an extra half cocktail but I haven’t had any coffee yet so that may be part of it…and I didn’t get up til after 6 so that may be a win…not sure yet…I wonder when I got too old to go out to celebrate NYE? Last night was just another night for me and I didn’t hear from anyone…is that a little lame or is it the normal progression that comes with getting older? Who knows? I do know that all of the tv shows that I have been watching in the morning for background noise have changed today and I’m not sure what I think about that…I mean it was comforting to have the Lone Ranger on every morning and now I need to find a new routine…just found out the News Radio is one of the the new shows so I guess that will be okay….I did take a look at the stats for my site as a kind of NY thing yesterday and found that, in December, I had over 3,500 distinct visitors to my site with over 12,000 visits so thanks to everyone for coming here and reading my stuff…I know that’s not a lot when you measure it against other sites but it’s pretty cool to me and keeps me motivated to continue to try to have something to say every day….and I did the math and found that I did 811 of these last year….that seems to be a lot to me….not much to do today…soccer starts in about 20 minutes and then there will be football, too with Michigan playing at 1 and Man U at 3 so I’m going to settle in and just veg it out for the day…more later….
