i hear Hurricanes a blowing

I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers over flowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin ( Fogarty)


well, i have been talking about this for a while......i'm not sure when the right time to go all cash is, but it's getting close......forgetting sides for a moment....the one thing the market hates is uncertainty, instability and the unknown ( it's really all the same one thing) , and mail in voting is ensuring that the election will be ripe with fraud and even worse...accusations and suspicion of fraud....that means that we will most certainly NOT know the winner of the Presidential election on Weds Nov 5........this election will be contested by both sides in different states......the counting of paper ballots will drag on for weeks.......leading to recounts.......lawsuits....protests....riots....demonstrations......lootin ( any excuse to get free shit)...and general public discontent that will make the George Floyd bullshit look like a picnic.....let's face it, anyone whoever thought of rioting and destroying property has become emboldened by the lack of response from Law Enforcement, they are convinced they can get away with anything....and for the moment they are correct......this will probably drag into December and eventually make its way to the Supreme Court.......the market has persevered the China Virus....mainly because with 0% interest there is no real alternative....but a contested election will throw the markets into a freefall......

that being said.....i think there will be volatile days in September.....and probably some big up days even as late as October.... but me personally, i have already started to slide and rebalance into very low risk investments......i don't want to have sleepless nights in November/December......i hope i'm wrong....i hope the market stays up and steady through year end....but i am willing to forego some significant gains in order to eliminate the possibility of significant losses.........i'll go back to the market most likely in January....and i am not selling all of my blue chippers in my personal IRA....but my 401K i am turning into a zero game for the last quarter......no gain, no loss, little int....but i know on January 1...i will have the same amount i has on colombus day......food for thought........Let's HOPE i am wrong

Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye

another day without end - another ship going out

Another day of anger - bitterness and doubt
I know how it happened - I saw it begin
I opened my heart to the world and the world came in ( Dylan)

wow....just wow.......mayor debozo is now pointing the finger of blame at the courts being shut down for the spike in shooting across the 5 boroughs.

this is the guy that has insisted the whole legal system is unfair to minorities.
this is the guy that has been trying to shut down Rikers Island because too many people of color are incarcerated .....not because he wants to sell the land to developers.
this is the guy that pushed not bail reform , but doing away with bail all together.
this is the guy that 30 days ago told us the Police were the problem and that communities and social workers and  conflict mediators could do a better job.
this is the guy that emptied the prisons because of corona virus, sending violent criminals back into the population.


in an amusing side note......the city is booking all the rooms in 2 upper west side luxury hotels and sending the homeless there......sex offenders, mentally disturbed, all the all stars from the streets.....and the community ?  all these white women who were screaming that Black Olives Matter just a few days ago are now horrified that the Blackest of the olives are living amongst them.....One lady was downright Apoplectic , screaming at a reporter..."this is a family oriented neighborhood" well sweetheart  he's your Mayor.....and you voted for him, not me. I guess homeless black olives don't matter on the upper west side.

when this old world gets you down remember.......there is always beer ......and Dylan

Can’t remember when I was born and I forgot when I died"

woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand

Whose wine, what wine, where the hell did I dine?
Must have been a dream I don't believe where I've been
Come on, let's do it again ( Frampton)


from the sublime to absurd , that is Path of professional sports these days.....sprinkle in hypocrisy and politics and you have the recipe for a big batch of I don't give a F*ck stew........where to begin.? for the heck of it i am going to add in some Onionesque bullet points that exist only in the realm of Jest.....


Woody Johnson.....Ambassador to England and Owner of the Jets is suddenly under fire for sexist and racist remarks denigrating black history month and objectifying women........seems old quotes have surfaced and immediately Jamal Adams ( the safety that demanded a trade to the Cowboys last month) tweeted that we need the Right people at the top........despite Woody's denying the comments......guess there is no need for an investigation , Adams is the judge , jury and executioner........Never heard a player , fan or anyone utter a bad word about Woody the man......very well respected until now....strange to surface out of the blue.........oh, and a silly side note......Woody was appointed to his post by President Trump.....and it seems there is a story circulating the Trump asked Woody to lobby the Golf Club of St Andrews to consider having the annual  British Open return to Turnberry Golf course  ( it was held there in 1977 and President Trump bought the course in 2014 ).....yep, just a coincidence....poor Woody, collateral damage.

2 related Jet stories......the team is also under fire ( like the Redskins) to change their name......AOC ( all out crazy) is demanding that they rebrand as the Hang Gliders as part of the Green new Deal......JETS carries ugly connotations to the gas guzzling days of yesteryear .

Good news for Jets fans though........that famous father-in-son traveling circus from queens...the Wilponzis; have already expressed interest in buying the football with the proceeds from their Mets liquidation...............come in off the ledge Duff.

speaking of the Rangers....Brandon Lemieux has been suspended for the first 2 game of the upcoming playoffs for an illegal check he threw against a teammate in a Rangers Blue vs White scrimmage at their Rye practice facility.....the league has gone to far protecting it's players.

the Toronto Blue Jays are considering changing their name to either the NOMADS or the Wandering Tribe of Israel .   seems after Canada denied the team the right to play any home games because of the CHINA virus , they reached out to the Pirates to see if the could play game at PNC while the Pirates were on the road.......The Bucs said Ok....City of Pittsburgh said ok....state of PA said NO WAY.......seems the last thing the state needs is additional travelers coming into and out of the state to play sports.....the safety of ALL Pennsylvanians is their first and foremost concern.......before you ask......Yes of course.....the Pirates and Phillies have been OKayed to play their Home games in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia respectively ....so the Blue Jays can Play in Pennsylvania as a road team against the eastern division Phillies , but Cannot host anyone as the home team in Pittsburgh.........for the safety of ALL Pennsylvanians of course.

NBA update ?  no thanks

I do however send the League and Lebron a tweet every few days saying #FreeHongKong   just for the halibut.


Quick debozo update....he finally woke up and made comments about ending the city hall encampment...funny thing about these liberals....they no longer even try to keep their stories straight.....like a village idiot he continues to contradict himself at every turn.....yesterday he said the encampment was no longer about protests and was made up mainly of the homeless.......flashback 10 days ago when he shuffled 1 billion dollars away from the Police budget, he said at the time that social workers and mental health professionals should be dealing with the homeless and NOT the Police.....and so at 3:00 a.m. he sent in the NYPD riot squad in helmets and shields to clean out the homeless.........i'm dizzy miss lizzy 

Do you, you, feel like I
Do you, you, feel like I do?
Yes ya do

What a field day for the heat

A thousand people in the street ( Stephen Stills)

Well they weren’t actually in the street but rather camping on the grounds of city hall for the past 3 weeks or so....and mayor debozo who has insisted that he can replace the big bad policeman with Conflict Mediators and social workers , finally decided enough was enough . ......and so who did he call to get the job done ?

Hawk Newsome ? The President of aBLM chapter in the Bronx ? The peace loving demonstrator who declared that White people should not be allowed to live in Bronx and insisted that Jews want to gentrify and steal the Grand Concourse ? Nope

Eric Adams? The Brooklyn Borough President who insisted that communities can police themselves without inviting the NYPD into the hood ? He went so far as to advise brooklynites to talk to and reason with anyone setting off fireworks and don’t dare call 311......and then a young woman ( Shatavia Walls....say her name) was shot to death in the Pink Houses projects for asking a youngster to stop with his explosives.........nope he didn’t call him

Maybe he called the crisis counselors from Thrive? The mental health initiative and approach to dealing with crime, homelessness and substance abuse.....the taxpayer funded group that misappropriated 850 million dollars, the group that was run by the mayors wife.....former lesbian stripper chirlane McCray ? Nope he didn’t call them either.

By now you probably figured out that he did what all Hypocrites do.....he asked the one organization that he has vilified to come in and do the very same things he accuses them of doing.......cleaning up the miscreants, slobs and criminals that are illegally occupying city land and desecrating and vandalizing everything in their vicinity.

Did he at least OWN the decision?  Did he go on CNN as he has in the past to explain and defend his decision to end the encampment and his method for achieving this ??No
He sent the NYPD into the park at 3:00 a.m. and as of this writing has issued NO official comment or press release.....he’s probably sleeping and hoping that nobody will know what happened.

HYPOCRISY will destroy this world.

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.

how many rivers do we have to cross

Before we can talk to the boss? Eh!
All that we got, it seems we have lost
We must have really paid the cost ( B. Marley)

Bob Marley may have been talking about Jamaica Ghetto's in the 1970's in the above lyric from burnin and lootin ( a great song) . and it applie today.

Yesterday.....July 15th......30 days after the NYPD was ordered to disband the plain clothes anti-crime unit .....that order came from Mayor DeBOZO and andrew evil eyes cuomo ......a group of black leaders rallied to demand the restoration of this Police unit....amidst the backdrop of a 1 year old child shot to death on a Brooklyn street at a family bbq  ( at midnight) and 53 shootings over the weekend, these leaders gathered at Cadman plaza and planned to march over the Brooklyn Bridge to City Hall...this Unity March was mainly black religious leaders from Crown Heights & Bed Stuy, but there were also Jewish and Muslim Groups participating.......but BLM and the Left would have NONE of it.......these indignant little white girls from the suburbs apparently want lawless chaos ( so long as they can take the LIRR home before sundown ) and they are fine with the shooting spree that is taking place in these black neighborhoods..........as the police were trying to clear the bridge so the unity march could proceed they came under attack from bat wielding animals occupying the span......on the other side of the bridge was the sounds of silence, nothing at all.......no answers for the grieving family of that 1 year old, just more PC political speak........all that they  had, it seems they lost......they must have really paid the cost.


Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight
(Save your babies' lives)
Burning all pollution tonight
Burning all illusion tonight

Just the basic facts

Can you show where it hurts ? ( Gilmour/Waters)

15 shot in 15 hours this weekend in NYC .....including a one year old baby ....at a street side BBQ.....at MIDNIGHT......good place to bring a baby....nothing bad happens in bed stuy.....let’s be honest.....his life really didn’t matter.....

And in chicongo.....64 shot......13 Dead......cmon chi town , ya gotta get those numbers up.


And in Bayridge of all places.....a back the blue rally supporting our Police was mixing it up with a black olives matter protest.....right in front of the Lief ( multi year host of Sweater Nite’s annual Gala) the world is spiraling out of control.

strongly worded reprimand

yep.....that was the official response from the filthadelphia eagles towad desean jackson after his twitter tirade against the jews and quoting hitler and louis farrakhan, and quite frankly ( anne frankly actually) i am fine with that.........long live free speech ......as long as it applies to everyone......i think desean jackson is entitled to make his comments about the jews extorting the world.....my problem is , was and always shall be with ....say it with me...HYPOCRISY.......all the media and athletes around the world attacking Drew Brees for saying he respects the flag and views taking a knee as disrespectful.....those same people turned into cricketts and are too fearful to criticize a black man like desean jackson.

i know i have said it before....but it deserves repeating.

Colin Kapernick did not have a problem with the Police when he was the starting QB in the Super Bowl. with media from 185 countries and 35 different languages on hand, Kepernick used this platform to talk about and show off his tatoos and took a moment to kiss his biceps. It wasn't until he lost his starting job as QB of the 49ers a few years later  that he was caught on camera sitting his broken down ass on the bench during the National Anthem...embarrassed, he said nothing to the media......two weeks later he graduated to kneeling.......and a week after that he wore socks depicting Police Officers as PIGS and decided to issue a statement saying his kneeling was about protesting Police brutality. Those are facts, you can look them up ....but hurry....because unpleasant history and facts are under attack......hopefully this blog stands the test of time and flies under the radar of the cxl culture.....truth is , even though i am just a little doggie fm new jersey, if i ever published this blog under my Dads name....well he would loose his job immediately.....so until he retires, i have to stay under ground....how is that possible in the freest society in the history of the world.?

incidentally.....may bozo has banned large group activities like the West Indian Parade and the San Genarro Festival through September....BUT BUT BUT he was on CNN last night ( i didnt watch but saw the clip on fox business) and he said BLM protests are exempt and allowed to continue......yep.....HYPOCRISY.

don't be surprised if the shines in crown heights turn the west indian day parade into a BLM march...with dancers and samba music and marijuana smoking.....all with the mayors blessing.


in honor of Charlie Daniels , i will leave you with his favorite tweet.

Benghazi ain't going away.

how many times can a man turn his head

pretending he just can't see ? (Dylan)

well now let's just wait and see the how many of the cancel society come forward and call for the head of Desean Jackson ? Let's see if the NFL network reaches out to player reps from every team to get their reaction, let's see if the League or Roger Goodell issues a statement and if anyone decides the leagues response wasn't swift or decisive enough......let's see if Nora O'Donnell and all the talking heads lead with the story on the evening news.

remember when Kareem Hunt of the Chiefs was caught on video pushing a white girl to the floor in his lobby hotel and then kicking her while she was on the ground ? I do...….I also remember wabc tv ny anchor Toni Yates saying " cmon people, remember there are cameras everywhere"...…..yep , she wasn't outraged with the act of a man kicking a woman......she was disappointed that he did within eyeshot of a camera …..

now let's see the progressive, woke culture find it within themselves to accept Jacksons' apology or excuse his comments or just ignore them altogether.

The answer to that my friend is blowin in the wind...….but not in the brees…..as in Drew Brees ..who issued 3 pathetic apologies for standing UP for the Flag and our National Anthem.

People say I’m no good

And crazy as a loon
Cause I get stoned in the morning
I get drunk in the afternoon ( Charlie Daniels)

So yesterday afternoon I was drinking beer in the pool when the above referenced song came on my iPod stereo and I thought to myself that I have to work that quote into an upcoming blog post.

On Saturday my Independence Day playlist with loaded with multiple Charlie songs, he was a steadfast Patriot and loved America with all his heart.

This morning my music alarm went off as it always does at 3:45 and too my delight was blasting Charlie singing in America ( one of his finest songs).

It was starting to feel like Charlie was trying to contact me all weekend and so it Was a terrible shock just now when Neal Cavuto reported that Charlie Daniels died over the weekend after suffering a stroke.....I’m shocked and saddened.....I saw him last year at the Basie and he was great......I followed him on Twitter and for the last 5 years or so he would put out the same tweet every few days ....” Benghazi ain’t going away “ was all he would say.....he hated Hilary with a passion......he would also tweet Goodnight to the World and at least one bible scripture a day........this was his last one that I saw .

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans-8

Good Night to you Charlie Daniels, and if you were trying to tell me something, .....I got the message ...God Bless you Sir .

and i wonder if it interests anybody

outside of a small circle of friends ( Phil Ochs)

67 shot in Chicago so far this weekend and it's only Sunday morning......nyc ?  mayor bozo is not as forthcoming with total stats but we do know it has been violent as well.....2 yr old white  boy was slashed above his eye while sitting in his stroller in Morningside heights and required stitches......a police vehicle caught gunfire in the Bronx.....Astoria, crown heights, east Harlem and bed-stuy all reported shootings Friday night.....but hey , who cares , let's all focus on corona virus in Texas,that's what is important.

and baltee-mor ?  wheres' dat ?

Oh my....in the little Italy section of Baltimore...on the Birthday of the Nation that owes so much to the brave explorers that founded this new land....the natives were apparently restless....they tore down a statue of Chritopher Columbus and then dumped it in the inner harbor...….I promise you this....I will never go to Camden Yards, the Inner Harbor or Fells Point again and I will never visit the city or spend a dime there....this city is not worth of our support......I suggest that anyone thinking of visiting that city ever again should think twice.......the Mayor made a statement before the weekend stating that they had higher priorities than guarding monuments...…...a signal perhaps to the MOB of animals to go ahead and do what you want, we won't stop you.
