well John the baptist, after torturing a thief

 Looks up at his hero the Commander-in-Chief

Saying, “Tell me great hero, but please make it brief

Is there a hole for me to get sick in?”  ( Dylan)

if it is true.......that General Milley held unauthorized phone conversations , behind the back of a sitting President, with  his Chinese equivilant in rank, and promised to alert the Chinese if Donald Trump ever planned to attack.....well then he must be court martialed , charged with Treason and hung......there is no alternative..........as of this morning the general is not disputing that the phone calls were held.

change of topic......no proof, just an observation..... i didn't watch too much sports over the weekend, but when i saw highlights i saw a lot of FDNY hats on coaches around the ncaa, nfl, mlb........i did not see many/any NYPD hats.......maybe just coincidence.......but if not....could it be that these coaches were afraid to offend their players by wearing POLICE hats ?  i hope i am wrong....and i hope both the police and fire were equally supported on the 20th anniversary....but it did not appear that way to me....

lastly a lot has been made about women soccer players being paid less than the men.

whats never mentioned is that both teams are union and both groups agreed to collective bargain agreements that were best suited for them at the time......for example, the women choose guaranteed money no matter how far they advanced in tournaments....the men chose a merit based system that paid higher amounts if they were successful but it was not guaranteed.....the women also chose perks like pregnancy leave, family leave, pay for players in the professional leagues that did not qualify for the national team and apparently contributions to their 401k's.......the men do not have these perks in their contracts..........now that the US soccer federation has agreed to give the same contract to both men and women, we can expect to see rapinoe and the other thespians get another parade down the canyon of zeroes........or will they find something else to cry bloody murder about ?

The Commander-in-Chief answers him while chasing a fly
Saying, “Death to all those who would whimper and cry”
And dropping a barbell he points to the sky
Saying, “The sun’s not yellow it’s chicken”
