Happy Fourth of July!

 

Elder Abuse

I tuned in to watch the Trump-Biden debate and was horrified.

As much as I don't like Biden, I actually said "This is elder abuse" 

They should have thrown in the towel.

I have seen presidential debates where on side did not do very well.  Those were like football games where the score was 31-10 or something.  At least they got on the board.  This one seemed to have a score of 47-0...at halftime!

I reminded me of "Rocky IV" where Apollo Creed was getting clobbered by Dragov and Rocky was thinking about throwing in the towel even though his friend was going to be mad at him.  Fine...at least you are alive to be mad!

I don't know if there is enough time to find a replacement for Biden and, personally, I hope they don't so that he goes out and gets demolished.  If I had the misfortune to be running the DNC this year, I would concentrate on Senate and House races.  No candidate there would want to be seen with Biden.

It is beyond time for him to go.  Biden has put the country in danger with the open border nonsense and people have died. Some maintain he has blood on his hands.  It could be seen as that way.  Others are talking about invoking the XXV Amendment and having him removed.  That might be one way around the ballot deadlines.  They know this better than me.

If Biden were to be replaced, who makes that decision.  Are they going to have primaries so the people can decided?  Or is it going to be some backroom deal? 

Given the recent "Democratic" predilection for authoritarianism, I see backroom deal.

So much for the "Party of the People" 

Gotta better idea.  Go back to representing the People (yes, capital P) and go back to your working-class roots and classical liberalism.  Not this failed pseduo-Communist garbage. 

As I said before, they will end up in the dustbin of History.

Hopefully, sooner than later. 

Hurtling across PA and Ohio!

Chelly and I spent the week in Pittsburgh, tromping around Steeltown.  We went to the Cathedral of Learning before heading off to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.  I paid homage to my old friend, the holotype skeleton of Tyrannosaurs, and spent four hours in the museum.  The we found the site of Forbes Field, the old home of the Pirates and Steelers.  After going up and down the inclines at Dusqune and Monongahela, we grabbed some pizza and got ready to hurtle westward.  

 The next day, we charged into Ohio, making our way to Cleveland.  I growled at the Browns stadium before making out way to Canton.  After hanging out around there for a few hours, we headed for home.  Going through West Virginia and "Lizard Tail" Virginia, we made it home in time to feed the cats, who angrily demanded where we had been.

The furry overlords rule over all....LOL

Even T-Rex yields to their authority.

Happy Memorial Day!

 

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

The kicker gets famous

 

Kickers are usually the smallest players on the field, but they have outsized influence.  Often, they are the difference between winning and losing and frequently hit the field goal at the end...or miss and lose.

Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker gave a graduation speech at Benedictine College in Atkinson, Kansas, that seems to have ruffled the liberal elite.  He called on women to be homemakers and mothers.  

  Immediately, we see the "outrage" from the usual crowd.  We even saw the NFL Diversity, Inclusion, Equity guy distance himself from the opinion, which, by the way, is the opposite of inclusion.

Meanwhile jersey sales for Butker's #7 have skyrockets and may degree-bearing women have come out in his defense. His own teammates have supported him as well,  It is pretty obvious that the "wokism" stuff is getting stale.

We have freedom of speech in this country.  Attempts to "dox" people or get them fired for something that is not "fashionable" is akin to MacCarthyism.  

Like I said before, wokism needs to make room in the dustbin of history somewhere between Nazis, feudal monarchies, and communism.   

And disco!

Go Butker

Aurora Borealis!

 

I have seen the Northern Lights before up in Canada.  I have even seen them out here in the desert  a couple of times.  Its not easy to spot sometimes, but it is still an amazing sight!  

Usually it is a product of reflections of the lakes in sub-Arctic Canada and this year it was due to a Sun storm.  Still really awesome stuff.  Waiting for some moron to turn it into something political.  LOL

Nonetheless it does remind me of looking up in wonder the first time I saw them in Saskatchewan.  I was lucky enough to be on the edge of Regina away from city lights.  This time, Michelle and I were out in the desert watching it as coyotes howled.  That was interesting!

If you did not get to see it, check it out on Youtube.  Not the same as seeing it in real life, but better than missing it completely!

Happy Greek Orthodx Easter!

 

HAPPY GREEK ORTHODOX EASTER!  You know, the real one :-P
