Well…just a little short one on the jaw-dropping stupidity that is coming out of ole JEB!’s campaign over the past couple of days…with the rise of the Black Lives Matter group and it’s interaction with the various campaigns since they started in earnest, ole JEB! thought he’d get out ahead of it by announcing that he met with BLM in Las Vegas before a speech he did there…only one teeny, tiny little problem with that..it was a lie…he met with some black people and a repub lobbyist but BLM was not there…not one of them..but, ole JEB! thought it was a good idea to lie about it…either that or he thinks that all black people belong to BLM so if he meets with any black person, he has met with BLM….and this guy wants to be president of all of America….what a lying sack he is….just go home, JEB! you are way out of your depth…geez…

JEB! really is this stupid…
Well…I’m sure you heard this idiots comments on the Planned Parenthood nonsense when he said that he didn’t know why we needed to spend 500 million dollars on women’s health…yeah, that is pretty stupid…but he really topped himself at a foreign policy seminar yesterday where he said that the Iraq war was “a good deal” and he would do it again even knowing that the reasons for going to war there were all lies. Here’s the cost of his “good deal”…over 4400 dead US soldiers (not counting the PTSD affected ones that came home and killed themselves), over 115,000 dead Iraqis, 1.7 TRILLION dollars in direct costs that possibly could balloon to over 6 trillion dollars once the total costs of care for the troops is counted….I don’t know if he is stupid or just cynical but to me, and anyone else, this could never be a “good deal”….war is never a “good deal” and the toll on the military and our country done by his “good deal” will never be repaired…I just hate this guy and his entire family…geez…
August 14th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done so that was progress…the car looks good but that was all I did…okay…I got one thing done….slept okay last night and had a weird dream that had the low battery chime from my phone in it…yeah…strange…feel a little crappy this morning after being good all week but not last night….not sure I am going to have cocktails much anymore….I am sore…at least my back is today and that has been bugging me for a week now and I don’t like it…it’s not as bad as when I was younger but it seems to make me stiffer now than it did…not much to do today…pool, of course, but at a new place and I’m not sure I like that much….but that’s life and I guess I have to deal with it…more later…
New server….
Well…just got the site migrated to a new server that should make it more reliable….so maybe no more week long outages…I hope anyway….have been working on a new topic for the day and haven’t found one yet…have been kind of busy getting the car cleaned after all the gravel yesterday but I have it done now…new wipers…and that irritates me a little..bought some Michelin wipers that you would think would be high quality and they only lasted about 4 months before they started to steak like crazy…and the paint on the arms faded so bad they looked like they were 10 years old…and, I went back to rain-x for the windows just to try to keep them clean for a while….but, no politics right now…going to go back to the phone and look for a topic…more later….
August 13th
Well…running a little late today with doing the grocery run and wanting to have that second cup of coffee that I haven’t gotten to yet…not sure what that means but it sounded good in my head…slept okay last night but not good but better than the other night so that is something…didn’t get much done yesterday but go out and scout locations to shoot pool and did not find one that is better than the Shame…so, that looks like where we will be going this week…and, all of the roads to the bars that I checked out were just graveled so my car looks like it has been in the salt for a month and that means a wash this morning before the bike ride….what a pain….it looks like the day will be working on the car to get it clean and changing the wipers, along with rain-xing the glass to see if that will help on the cool mornings….the Lions start their preseason tonight so I will have something to watch tonight instead of digging back into shows I’ve already watched….
Oh, one thing I forgot earlier in the week was to say RIP to Buddy Baker…one of the Nascar drivers that I like when I started to follow the sport many, many, many, years ago…who died earlier in the week at 74….
JEB! crashes and burns on foreign policy…
Well….in what was supposed to be a defining speech that would show ole JEB!’s foreign policy chops, his speech at the Reagan library instead exposed the shallow, naive person that ole JEB! is especially on the middle east. His speech did the normal crap that is red meat to the right….Obama bad, Hillary bad and right wing policies of intervention are good and necessary and the only thing that will bring peace to the middle east….but the whole problem here is that the interventionist crap plays well with the right in this country but is ridiculed by the rest of the world for what they are…the purile thoughts of someone out of his depth and is reliving the bad decisions of the neocons that roiled the middle east in the first place….but the big thing is his statement that he will rescind the Iran deal on day one if he is elected…but the rest of the signatories to the agreement and the UN are saying “not so fast”…you can’t abrogate an international agreement unilaterally on a whim….and that sums up the unreality where ole JEB! lives….he lives in the same fantasy world where his party resides…that the US can do anything they damn well please and everyone else just has to take it….he is just detached from reality…and will never be elected…ever…geez…
August 12th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that is cool…there will be groceries this week….back to sleeping crappy again just like yesterday and I almost forgot what it was like to wake up exhausted…but, I remember now and I don’t like it at all…I did get some stuff done yesterday so that was progress and I do have some things to do today, too, so that will keep the boredom at bay some….I have been so sore lately that I may have to take a day off the bike to let things heal up some…and these are not normal pains…well, now that I think of it, they are except for the shoulder stuff so we’ll go hard again today to see if it makes it worse….I do have to wash the car today but the workout and bike ride come first…not much to do today…just the car and cooking lunch but I may take the easy way out for that and just make a pizza…I do feel good that I have been losing weight but not fast enough for me…more later….
Bye, bye Rick…
Well…it is with some glee that I read that ole rick Perry’s campaign is dying quickly to the point that he has stopped paying his staffers and has told them that they can start looking for new jobs. Now…I knew this was going to start happening at some point to the candidates from the ‘kiddie table” debate but I thought this grifter would be able to grift enough money to at least make it a couple of more months….I think his billionaires have given up on him and now he may even have to get a job somewhere…I would suggest a greeter at Walmart would be the perfect thing for him….he’s not bright enough to do anything else…no matter that he is wearing “smart” looking glasses…what a maroon…and good riddance….
It is to laugh, JEB!
Well…just read an article that made me laugh out loud on the new attack that JEB! is trying to level against Obama and Hillary…and it goes like this…that Iraq was in control and everything would have been just fine if that darn Obama would have just kept up the policies of ole GW…and that ISIS is the fault of Obama, too since something, something….yeah, I know…you’re laughing, too at this bit of absurdist revision of history…never mind that the entire upheaval in the middle east was caused by his lying brother and his cronies who lied and lied us into a fake war that they wanted…and that ole GW’s policy of disbanding the Iraqi army with nothing to take it’s place is what is fueling ISIS now….most of it’s leadership comes from the officer class of the army who were summarily dismissed by Bremer, the idiot. So, I can’t wait for the rebuttal by Hillary who has been more and more of an attack dog against the repubs on the campaign trail and won’t let JEB! slide on this one…should be fun to watch….
August 11th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday an I made some cash so that was cool…the sleep is back to the height of crappy and I am exhausted this morning just sitting here and doing this…but, I am hoping the coffee will counteract some of that so I can get the workout and bike ride in…it is another gorgeous Michigan morning out there and it would be a shame to waste it by being a slug….didn’t get much done yesterday but I did miss getting wet…twice…just walked in the door fro the bike ride and it started pouring and just got back from an errand in the car and it started to rain just as I got the top up….small bits of luck that I’ll take….after going hard on the bike the past two days, I am sore today but it’s not bad so I can live with it….not much to do today…I have a few things to do around here that need to be done today so that will be the priority for the morning…going to need to take a nap later with only getting about 4 hours of sleep last night…more later….
