Well…as you can see, I’m running really late this morning with doing the bike ride first to get back here for the F1 race that starts in a few minutes…slept okay last night and felt really crappy when I got up and that made for a long bike ride…and only having a half cup of coffee before I went out didn’t help…didn’t do much yesterday but watch sports with soccer and races on…and I just remembered that the Tour de France is on, too, so I need to remember to watch that later….so today will probably be another veg day…at least for a while….I did get my berries for the traditional ice cream and berries this morning but that will wait until later in the week…more later….

North Korea beats trump…
Well…we all know that trump and his cronies are the most inept bunch of morons that have ever infested our government…whether it’s the idiotic tariffs that have already cost thousands of American jobs and have stopped investment here with the “uncertainty” of idiot boy’s policies….or it’s the incoherent foreign policy that has the rest of the world basically ignoring trump, the wreckage he is leaving behind is immense. The latest is the misguided attempt of a diplomatic solution to the NK nuclear program that just blew up yesterday. Did you expect anything else? After the idiot trump met with Kim and declared that their nuclear program was no longer a threat after he talked to Kim for an hour, it was revealed that NK is going ahead full steam on expanding and modernizing it’s nukes…and the idiot’s SoS Mike Pompeo crowed that the talks that he just had with NK were “productive”, NK has a really, really different take on the talks that consisted of Pompeo threatening NK and telling them they had to get rid of all of their program for nothing in return…NK called the talks “regrettable” and got their upgrade in status giving up nothing for it…and China got a tighter grip on Asia that, under every damn president other than idiot boy, we had fought to prevent. That is the problem with morons who think they’re the smartest people in the room…they can be manipulated easily by telling them what they want to hear…then our adversaries do what they want anyway…impeach…
More daily deals…
Well…you know that I’ve talked about the store, Daily Deals before when I got 6 pounds of ground chuck for 6 bucks…and today, another deal came across my phone that I had to check out. They had 5 pounds of fully cooked, smoked pulled pork on sale for 5 pounds for 5 bucks…and it even has bbq sauce in it already…so I got a 5 pound brick that is now thawing in my fridge so I can cut it up and put it in storage bags….when I did the math, and using a quarter pound per sandwich, that makes each one about 40 cents and that will make a meal for me…hope it tastes good, but how can you ruin smoked pulled pork?
July 7th
Well….need to be running early today to get back here before F1 qualifying at 9…and then soccer starts at 10 but it is only 55 outside right now so I need to wait until 7:30 to go out…it was an okay day yesterday with all of the sports on and today looks the same…identical, actually, so it will be a good day….other than the sports, didn’t get anything else done but I will get some cleaning done today….the kitchen and bathroom need to be done and I should go on cobweb patrol, too….I just need to get motivated and that is the hard part….my back has been giving me fits the past few days and it is starting again this morning…not too bad so far but just annoying…okay…need more coffee and to read a little news…more later…
A little more World Cup…
Well…just watched a stunning match with my guys from Belgium knocking off Brazil 2-1 and I actually stood up and cheered when the final whistle blew…and that leaves my two teams still in it…at least until tomorrow when England plays Sweden early in the morning…Belgium went up 2-0 in the first half but the Brazil just kept throwing attack after attack at them….and scored a goal at around 75 minutes to make the rest of the match pretty nerve wracking….this is the best word cup that I have seen since I started watching them in 1994 when the US hosted them…. and my guys from Man U, Lukaku and Fellaini were terrific all day…I’m still smiling…
Bye, bye Scotty…
Well…sitting here waiting for the first match of the day to start and thought I’d do a short one on the good news that the swamp thing, Scott Pruitt, resigned yesterday under the threat of a 19th investigation into his tenure at the EPA. His ethics challenges and criminality should be no surprise to anyone who has seen him do the same damn things when he was in Oklahoma but it appears that no ethics and criminality is a job qualification for trump’s administration…and his resignation letter was as deranged as trump’s speech was yesterday…saying that it was god that put trump into office…now they are calling Putin god? But, we can’t breathe easy yet, the guy coming in is just as bad and will continue the damage that trump and his cronies are doing to the country and the world….impeach….
July 6th
Well…need to get going early today since it is a huge sports day…F1 and soccer on all day and it all starts at 9…slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly today…the pain from working on the car is abating so I can move without wincing and that is a relief….I did get a good bike ride in yesterday and eating more appeared to give me more energy in my legs…we’ll see about today…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today will be the same….I am looking forward to Belgium playing Brazil this aft and I really hope Belgium wins….this world cup has been a good one and two of my teams are still in it so that is cool…okay, need to have more coffee and get ready to get on the bike…more later….
19 investigations and counting…
Well…the one man swamp that is Scott Pruitt continues to ooze more corruption ever day and today is no different…it was revealed this morning that Pruitt and his staff has been has been “scrubbing” his calendar and has falsified or hid records of meetings he has had with the industries the EPA is supposed to regulate since they may
“look bad” since the only people he meets with are lobbying to gut all environmental regulation in this country. “Willful concealment or destruction” of records is a federal crime that could result in jail time…but this is not the worst part of the destruction of the EPA…independent analysis has concluded that the regulations that are being cut will result in 88,000 deaths over the course of 10 years…yep, trump and his administration are going to kill over 8,000 Americans a year just so he and his cronies can profit more from polluting this country….but hey, what’s 8,000 lives compared to the need for the rich to get richer?
See, I told you I was going to get back to politics…
This is too funny…
Well…with the idiot trump heading to England this weekend for some reason, the protesters there are gearing up for massive rallies in every city he is scheduled to visit, with estimates of over a million people who are committed to showing their displeasure of trump in general, and his racist immigration policies specifically. One of the funniest damn things that is going to happen is a balloon of a trump baby in diapers that is going to fly over Parliament…the permit was issued by the mayor of London yesterday and it was met by cheers by the people who have been raising money to build and fly the balloon…I don’t remember what the Obama protest balloon looked like…oh, that’s right, there wasn’t one…he wasn’t the buffoon that trump is…impeach…
Where’s the new civil war?
Well…sometimes the hard right bullshit that I try to avoid bleeds into my news feeds and makes my jaw drop…the latest one came from Alex Jones and his crazy assed website called Infowars when earlier in the week he bleated breathlessly that he had discovered a super secret liberal plan to start a new civil war and lock up all of the conservatives in the country…and he “knew” it was going to happen on the 4th of July….and that was yesterday…I tweeted all day trying to find out where it was so I could go and participate but it was so secret that no one knew where it was…I’m sure that was part of the super secret plan…darn, I am a little miffed that I missed it…I could have waved some sparklers to show my support…and have a cocktail to toast the participants…I wonder how I can get into the super secret loop so when the next one happens I can be included? Darn….
