eye for an eye

 tooth for a tooth,

vote for me and i'll set you free

Ball of Confusion , Ball of confusion ( Temptations)

this version of hypocrisy 999 is brought to you by the democratic primary for NYC mayor....and this is a good one....wont be over for a few more weeks because obviously we live in a corrupt banana  republic that does not have the technology or desire to settle an election on election day or the day after.

the democrats....the same people that turned a blind eye towards egregious irregularities in the Presidential election....the one that saw power outages and floods halt vote counting in swing states and suitcases of harvested votes turning up throughout the night....the democrats who said you have to respect the integrity of an election despite thousand of dead people voting multiple times.....those same democrats have now turned on themselves and each other in NYC....and why not....their own party was exposed for stealing the nomination from Bernie Sanders and giving the answers to debate question to hillary......well now in NYC a black man ( Eric Adams) saw his huge lead evaporate yesterday when a week after the election the first round of "ranked choices" was released........Adams cried foul....and now less than 24 hours later the board of election admits that they accidentally counted 100,000 test ballots.......but it ain't over.....they still have 200,000 absentee ballots that they are still accepting by mail........so watch out for Miley Cyrus Wiley Circus....the AOC backed candidate....i'm sure they are filling out absentee ballots in the abandoned warehouses of Long Island City ....you know...the spot that Amazaon built their 2nd HQ....oh never mind......and Garcia (not jerry) is questioning the whole process.......keep in mind, this is democrat against democrat and the accusations of cheating and irregularities are flying....but again...anyone who questioned the presidential election must be unhinged.......this is going to be an interesting 2 weeks ( they hope to have final results by July 12th......seriously Guatemala runs a more efficient and professional election that we do.

in 1970....the Temptations were so far ahead of their time it's scary

Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul

Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon

Politicians say more taxes will solve everything

And the band played on

So, round and around and around we go

Where the world's headed, nobody knows

 

we heard the sermon on the Mount

 and i knew it was too complex,

it didn’t amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects
When you bite off more than you can chew,  you have to pay the penalty
Somebody’s got to tell the tale, I guess it must be up to me   (dylan)

and that's really why I blog.....there's an old chinese curse that says "may you live in interesting times". foolhardy westerners use that phrase as a toast, but that is not how it is intended. "interesting Times" are turmoil, havoc and incomprehensible nonsense that defies logic.....and that's where we are today. I was born 2 1/2 years after President Kennedy was shot, and 13 months after the Beatles arrived in America. Before my 5th Birthday we'd see the War in Vietnam escalate, A man walk on the Moon, a half million kids gather in Woodstock and the Mets win the World Series........and that's just the good stuff.....i have definitely lived in Interesting Times......but the last 20 or so years have taken the cake.

i have little or no faith in education system to tell the truth to future generations, we are becoming more of a close communist society with each passing month.  Our liberal social media giants censored the President of the Unites States for Christ Sakes and still RINO's ( republicans in name only) still use Facebook and Twitter everyday to chronicle their lives and brag about vacations.......the NY Post was censored for daring to report on Hunter Bidens laptop.......Facebook for 13 months blocked stories about the possibility of the China Flu originating in a lab in Wuhan........that gindaloon cocksucker from 13th ave....Fauci the Fraud went on national TV in March of 2020 and threw water on the possibility of the Virus originating in Wuhan.......no evidence he said....highly unlikely he said....just another conspiracy theory........turns out he not only knew it was LIKELY....but it was  his group that funded ( possibly illegal funding) the research in question....do you think that little tidbit will make it into little susie cumquats history textbook in 5, 10 or 20 years ? ? ? 

 

it's the same story the crow told me

 it's the only one he knows,

like the morning sun you come 

and like the wind you go (Hunter/Garcia)

so when is a riot not really a riot ?  the answer is a simple one...when the DA and the PRESS say so.

The Bronx and Manhattan DA's have tossed out hundreds of cases against people arrested last year in the George Floyd Riots ......i wonder why .....so did the NY Post....but the Bronx DA Darcel Clark and the Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance both refused comment.....think about that for a moment....an elected official refuses to do their job and then refuses to even comment . So the Police that risked their own lives and arrested these animals did so for nothing.....the storeowners who saw their businesses robbed, looted and destroyed now get to see the culprits go free and have their records expunged....and yet some in high liberal society can't put their finger on why the common man is soooooo ANGRY.

so the nation celebrated Juneteenth saturday for the first time as a federal holiday.....i am fine with that.....i celebrate my Irish heritage every Saint Patricks's day....granted i have to use a vacation day to do so, but still if a group of people find a reason to celebrate...well....that's usually a good thing. What we can only hope for is that in the dreaded classrooms of our nation that the glorified babysitters have the courage to TEACH about how and why Slavery came to an end......and how many white males died fighting for the union and the end of slavery.(doesn't really matter what was in their hearts or what their motivation was...."science" says they died fighting for the union). let's hope they take the lesson a step further and trace the "Root Cause" of slavery......maybe the VP can explain who captured the slaves in Africa and the West Indies and sold them into slavery.......spoiler alert, it wasn't the white males of America......

lastly......saturday night over 1,000 people were lured , encouraged or inspired to show up at the Pristine Pier Village complex in Long branch NJ.....a small patch of High End restaurants and shops with  a beautiful beach that costs $$ to visit during the day and is closed at night.......well the visitors on this night were encouraged to bring their own alcohol and marijuana and have an impromptu / unwanted/ illegal dance party.....the Riots squads were brought in from neighboring towns, people dining in the cafes were harassed during their meals with Black lives Matter chants and an otherwise wonderful spot was ruined....maybe for good.......you won't find me there after sunset ever again, thats for sure........if this is the first you are hearing of this , well that's no surprise......despite hundreds of photos on the internet.....our local channel 2, 5 and 7 News have YET to even work this story into the rotation.....

Ain't no time to Hate,

 barely time to wait

Wo-oah, what I want to know,

where does the time go?

while preachers preach of evil fates

 Teachers teach that knowledge waits

Can lead to hundred-dollar plates

Goodness hides behind its gates

But even the president of the United States

Sometimes must have to stand naked  ( Dylan)

and today on the world stage.....an old man suffering from dementia, a shadow of his former self, stands naked at the podium, alone....afraid to hold a joint press conference with Vladimir Putin for fear of being exposed as incompetent.......like arrugula.....a vegetable........if you read this in a novel 10 years ago you probably would have stopped reading .....the leader of the free world....the president of the United States , on 3 occasions at the G7 summit referred to Syria as Libya.....a president who openly admits that they will kill me if i take anymore questions or speak off script .......seriously, you would have stopped reading that novel and decided it was too far fetched.........yet.....here we are.

And if my thought-dreams could be seen

They’d probably put my head in a guillotine

But it’s alright, Ma, it’s life, and life only

and the rockets red glare

The bombs bursting in air

Gave proof through the night

That our flag was still there  ( Francis Scott Key)

Happy Flag Day to all the citizens of these Great United States.

Happy Birthday to Donald Trump.

Happy Cup Day to the 1994 Rangers.

and Happy engagement anniversary to the lovely couple that adopted a sweet  dog like me....

well i've never been to spain

 But I kinda like the music

Say the ladies are insane there

And they sure know how to use it

They don't abuse it

Never gonna loose it

I can't refuse it

Well, I've never been to england.......(hoyt axton)

couldn't help but hear the King Elvis Presley singing that gem that Hoyt Axton wrote after watching the Vice President of the United States make a complete ass of herself by answering a question from a fellow black liberal Lester Holt about whether or not she had in fact ever visited our southern border..."well ive never been to Europe either she answered in her best hillary clinton "what difference does it make" arrogance....good thing Holt is a stymie or else he would be labled a racist.....and last night she snapped at a female hispanic reporter from Univision for daring to ask her when she is going to visit the southern border....it has been 79 days since she was appointed the border Czar.....still no visit.....still not even a single press conference on US soil.............sing it Elvis, You Still ARE the KING

Well I've never been to heaven

But I've been in Oklahoma

Well, they tell me I was born there

But I really don't remember

In Oklahoma or Arizona

What does it matter

What does it matter

Man Thinks

 cause he rules the earth he can do with it as he please

And if things don’t change soon, he will

Oh, man has invented his doom

First step was touching the moon (dylan)

far be it for me to disagree with Mr Dylan....of course he was right.......but in todays lesson i believe the first step was the creation of the ATM........in our little world that would be the Citibank ATM on the corner of 75th and 3rd......the concept of having access to your $$ in the bank ( not that i had any) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week was intriguing.........and my circle of friends  being all of 12 or 13 years old,  we saw this tiny room with an ATM as a potentially warm and dry place to drink beer when the elements were against us..... and so Steven McCormack opened an account and received a coveted debit card......and now we had a place to drink a beer or smoke a joint without being exposed to harsh weather....ah but i digress.

soon...the convenient ATM lead the way for banks to close or shorten their hours........soon non bank affiliated ATMs sprouted up in bodegas , outside train stations, at ballparks and arenas.....places where you were isolated or desperate for access to your own $$.........and with that came fees......big fees.....first the ATM that you used would charge you......then the bank that housed your $$ would charge you for using a ATM that was not their own........i was finally outraged when PNC bank bought the Garden State Arts Center.......installed PNC bank ATMs .....and began charging $10 for usage.......one desperate night and only once i fell victim..... after that i planned my cash on hand well in advance....moved all of my accounts to CHASE and if i can't get to a chase atm, i do without....

around this time the internet was exploding........every retailer hand their own website.......at first they asked if you wanted to create an account with your email to receive a discount and emails on upcoming sales.......it quickly morphed into our current situation where you can't even purchase something without registering and giving up your birthday.

and now its the APP.......no more physical tickets to concerts, ballgames or even the train.......buy it on the APP and download......Wall Street ? no more physical certificates....everything is computerized.

below deck Med ?  the Boat crashed becuase of computer malfunction.

Nuclear Sites.....Weapon Depots.....Fighter Jets, Tanks, your personal vehicle ?  all controlled by a computer

we are the ultimate fatted Calf being groomed for the slaughter........our entire existence hangs in the balance of the computer..........

and now come the hackers........pipelines paying ransoms.......Meat distributors being shut down for days.......doesn't anybody else see what's happening ?    WE ARE DOOMED........death by our own technology......i hope i am wrong....but i doubt that i am........but hey, lets talk about what flavor ice cream Joe Bidens eating....ha ha ha........so glad the scary orange man is gone so i can bury my head in the sand.

Oh, man is opposed to fair play

He wants it all and he wants it his way
