Money changes everything........it’s all in the past now cause money changes everything.
Altria stock , MO .....if you have any cash on the sidelines this is a great buy and HOLD.......stock is trading at $45 .....the dividend yield is now over 7%......they are merging with Phillip Morris again....combined they own a big stake in juul....they invested in a Canadian pot farm and they are about to introduce the next big thing IQOS....once America fully legalizes pot they will convert half of North Carolina into a Cannabis Farm.....this stock will hit 75-100 in by 2025.....alas I have been wrong before

waive the white flag
the New York city school system has officially surrendered....with the elimination of entrance exams to the best high schools they are once again punishing success....no more merit based admissions......this simpleton racist Carranzo doesn't understand or seem to care that the gifted students who work hard and take their education seriously are the reason the Delta Program and specialty high schools succeed.....its not a magic building or classroom......if you drop basic knuckleheads into these programs they will not become a genius overnight...but that's what they want to do......which of course will effectively bring everyone down to the shit level instead of raising a few kids up to the next level.....affirmative action for 50 years hasn't worked......billions of dollars hasn't worked......we can't raise stymie to a level of success, so what do we do ? ? let's bring the white and Asian kids down to the thug level...…..great job deblasio.

Disgraciado
i circled today’s game on the calendar the day the schedule was released....Yankees vs Dodgers 4:00 start in the brilliant Los Angeles sun at historic Dodger Stadium.....so many memories, so much history......I honestly was looking forward to reliving the 77,78,81 World Series........imagine my disgust and dismay to tune in and see both team wearing clown suits......you ruined it MLB....the only good thing is since the uniforms are black on black and white on white....we don’t have to because we can’t...read the ridiculous nicknames on their backs.

“In the morning, when we rise
that’s the time, that’s the time, ......that’s the time, that’s the time...I love the best “ ( D.Leitch)
So I found myself on the treadmill at 4:40 this morning with the TV on mute waiting for Curtis Sliwa and listening to my iPod shuffle my 10,000 song catalogue....and Colors by Donavan Leitch came on.....it’s really hard to look at the world with anything but Rose tinted glasses when Donavan is singing......he was one of my brother Jays favorite musicians and he turned me onto Donavan through osmosis when I was 3 or 4.....I clearly remember Sunshine Superman, Jennifer Juniper and of course Atlantis emanating from his room at the front of the house on 76th street, the tar beach rooftop when he couldn’t get to Riis Park or the back deck.......don’t think for a minute that music doesn’t play a significant role in the formation of the brain, personality and most importantly the soul......I am exactly who I am because of the music I listened to when it mattered the most...... and I owe my poetic and sympathetic traits to the likes of Donavan Leitch.....and today as oft times before; I find myself in a great mood after listening to that soft spoken Scotsman.......would be great if thy New Sweater Nite Ramblers could cover some Donavan for SN22......”ah but I might as well try to catch the wind “

Well the sound keeps rollin
And the band plays on , somebody’s favorite tune....
And the roughs in your ears obliterates your fears,
And you can’t get off too soon ( Kaukonen)
It seems the upside down insanity train that is the world today just keeps rolling..... The NYPD Police Commissioner has fired a policeman for doing his job......the 500 pound slob that died that day refused to be arrested by 2 auxiliary cops and two uniformed officers...he put his own life in jeapordy by refusing an order to put his hands behind his back.....and then a black female Sargent ordered plainclothes officer Daniel Panteleo to “ take him down “ ....and officer Pantaleo followed an order and took the slob to the ground and handcuffed him.....the other 4 cops then and only then; jumped in and helped subdue the handcuffed individual.....the female Sargent stayed out of video range and will probably avoid scrutiny or prosecution....Pantaleo should sue the city....but the biggest price we all will pay is having an indifferent police force....and can you blame them ? I don’t....the police are being reduced to a diversified group of report takers....no longer fighting/preventing crime and the blood of all future victims of violent crime is on the hands of Deblasio...Commisioner O’Niel.....and Police Chief Monahan.......
As a follow up to my mainstream media and the fake recession post...... the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose from 18,500 on Election Day 2016 to the 26,000 mark last month......(that’s 7,500 points for you Bishop Ford Graduates ) .....and how many times in the last 3 years did you hear any of the MSM networks tie that news to President Trumps financial policies? ? Yep, me neither......but last week they all gleefully learnt a new phrase.....the inverted yield.....sure fire proof that a recession is coming....and every one that read a TelePrompTer followed that up by speculating that THIS was the result of the tariffs........funny if it wasn’t so sad.
A fairness shoutout to WCBS channel 2 news.....they have a new commercial that is the playing of the National Anthem......with incredible views of New York City, the American Flag and the heartland..... I watched it twice and the cynic in me could not find ANYTHING to complain about.....why they even showed the military, great job CBS...... I was honestly choked up watching.
Hang in there friends, perhaps there’s still a twinkle of light to be found.

And it appears to be a long
It appears to be a long time,
Yes, a long, long, long time before the dawn (D.Crosby)
They say the darkest hour is just before the dawn and I believe that is true, but what keeps me up at night is the fear that we’re a long way off.....which means the near future will get increasingly darker.....I’ve been talking a lot lately about the incivility between the left and the right and the reaching of a point of no return ...during the horrible 8 years that Barry Hussein was in charge I never let my disdain for him override my love of country ....sadly the same cannot be said for those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome......yesterday I watched as members of the Main Stream Media couldn’t contain their glee and verbally tripped over themselves as they reported that the Dow Jones was down 800 points......”could this be the start of a recession “ they asked....”is it Trumps fault because of tariffs “ ....is this the beginning of the end of his Presidency? ....it would have been comical if it weren’t so serious.....these self loathsome cretons hate our President so much that they are rooting for economic failure In hopes of winning an election..........I personally agree with the tariffs and the hard line we are taking with China....this may be our only chance to slow their regime.....I don’t want a deal with China because I don’t think we can ever trust them or expect future administrations to enforce the deal .......SO......I think 5 more years of tariffs and extreme economic pressure will force companies that currently do business in China to look elsewhere...which in turn will weaken their economy further and ultimately stagnate their desire to rule the world....I think the American consumer has to make a concerted effort to buy American made products and absolutely boycott anything and everything made in China........I think and hope that President Trump understands that China is a significant threat and we are not ready to fight them on the battlefield....we have to fight them economically.......I do wish the President would stop criticizing the Federal Reserve and I hope that the Fed does not cave in and lower rates.....as for America down the road? ..........President Lincoln forewarned “A House divided against itself cannot stand”...............and David Crosby followed that up by foretelling . “It's been a long time comin'

Apologies for the doom and gloom, but it’s getting harder and harder to find the lighter side of this life.
