don't murder me

 i beg of you, don't murder me

pleeeeeeeease, don't murder me (Garcia/Hunter)

Robert Hunter of course was talking to the Dire Wolves in the timbers of Fenarrio , but these could just have easily been the final words of Declan Sullivan. ....lest we forget Mr Sullivan was an junior honor student at Notre Dame....he had a double major in marketing plus film,television and theatre.....he also loved football......so it was natural that he volunteered to film the teams practices for their coaching staff....that is what he was doing on October 27th 2010...an extraordinarily windy day ....gusts reported of upwards of 50 MPH in the South Bend area........yet he was sent into the scissor platform that hovered high above the practice filed.....until....well until it did not......it came crashing down, killing the young Mr Sullivan immediately......and now the cocksucker , self righteous, smug, conceited piece of shit that sent this young man to his death has walked away from Notre Dame in the middle of the night.......giving the school that stood by him the middle finger as he leaves for the $$$$$ that LSU was dangling.....Brian Kelly, the man who this past year surpassed Knute Rockne as the winningest coach in school history has abruptly quit........it serves both of them right....he is a total douche bag ....but so is the farce of Notre Dame Football.......as Billy Martin would say "one's a born liar and the other is a convicted one".

"sat down to my supper, 

twas a bottle of red whiskey

said my prayers, went to bed

that's the last they saw of me"

let's give Thanks

 on this day of Thanksgiving 2021, I remain grateful for all that i have and all the people  that i know. I share with you a Thanksgiving poem by Edgar Guest circa 1917,

Give me the end of the year an' its fun 

When most of the plannin' an' toilin' is done; 

Bring all the wanderers home to the nest, 

Let me sit down with the ones I love best, 

Hear the old voices still ringin' with song, 

See the old faces unblemished by wrong, 

See the old table with all of its chairs 

An' I'll put soul in my Thanksgivin' prayers.

i done run into my baby

 And finally found my old blue jean

I done ran into my baby

And finally found my old blue jean

Well, I could tell that they was mine

From the oil and the gasoline    (ZZ Top) 

first off, this pathetic old man in the white house was reading a statement off the teleprompter last night and said the instructions out loud ....he said " End of Quote"........not a joke, google it.......he is a modern day Ron Burgundy....if you put it on the teleprompter, he will read it......Good Night and Go Fuck Yourself San Diego.

historically i have played loose with the facts in order to lighten up the news and keep this blog fun....so i feel compelled at times to say "not a joke"....yesterday was one of those days......when Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was questioned on how many barrels of oil the US consumes on a daily average she said " I don't have that information in front of me".....OK, you are the energy secretary and you are holding a press conference to address releasing the oil reserve to combat gas prices....maybe you should know ..........or is it because she knows that 50 million barrels does nothing for the Average American....? America consumes 18 million barrels a day....do the math..but wait theres more

Fox Business is reporting that the 50 million barrels released will primarily go to CHINA and INDIA to relieve the global shortage.......again....not a joke........even Rodney couldn't come up with these jokes.

So the President is tapping the national Oil Reserve.....something that has only happened in the past because of War or the aftermath of Storms that halted production in the Gulf of Mexico....

.will anyone on the evening news remind America that President Trump took advantage of Historically low gas prices ( $38 a barrel) to restock and tap off our national reserves last year ? don't hold your breath.

will anyone on the evening news point out that it was President Bidens policies of cxlng pipelines and restricting fracking that have lead America from the point of Energy Independence to being a whiny bitch crying about Opec ? don't hold your breath.

i try hard to be happy....but then i open my eyes each morning and i am confronted with my beloved country sliding down a ravine into the muck and mire of a third world nation.

**follow up from yesterday, a BLM spokeperson in milwaukee said the attack on the Christmas Parade was just the start of a racial civil war.......think Norah O'Donnell will find time to mention that ?

***early ZZ Top circa 73-77 was some of the greatest rock blues ever, pickup Fandango if you can still find it **

if i ever get back my blue jean, Lord how happy could one man be"

 

i will stay with you

 if you stay with me, said the fiddler to the drum

and we'll keep good time on a journey through the past  (N. Young)

sometimes you don't need a magnifying glass to spot the abnormalities....sometime the differences are glaring.......take for instance the MSM response to the events that unfolded in Waukesha, Wi on Sunday evening. Darrell Brooks was apparently fleeing a domestic abuse incident and drove his SUV through a Christmas parade and killed 5 women aged 52 to 81 (that were part of a beloved troupe performing in the parade known as the Dancin Grannies) and sent over 40 people to the hospital (including 18 children)

Although the media reported the story, i have yet to see anyone at CBS, ABC or whomever give the incident a Catchy Title and image ....like the ones they usually trot out when they intend to milk a story for a few weeks....like 'Murder in Miami"....."Collapse at the Shore"....."High School Horror" etc etc .....i don't watch CNN but according to Greg Guttfeld they were portraying the assailant as the RED SUV ....as if it were driverless or a posessed automobile.....why are the avoiding focus on Darrell Brooks ? maybe because he is a career criminal who was twice released on small bail in the last 12 months, even though he apparently has an active warrant for his arrest in Nevada ? maybe because he was released from jail after running over a woman with the very same SUV earlier this year ? Or maybe because the District Attorney in question ran on a platform of low bail....and then immediately through one of his junior assistants under the bus and launched an internal investigation into the measley $1,000 bond his office requested 10 day ago ?

One aspect of the case that has yet to be raised is the correlation between this event and the now famous event that occurred miles away in Kenosha . Darrell Brooks was fleeing a domestic abuse incident, so too was Jacob Blake.......Darrell Brooks got into his SUV and fled at high speed to escape the area........Jacob Blake may very well have done the same if the Police did not stop him.......we will never know who may have been plowed to death had Blake been allowed to flee the scene as so many liberal talking heads have suggested the Police should have allowed.

Yesterday we spoke of professional sports........i vividly remember the day i walked away from the NY Mets for life.......in a pathetic , look at me orchestrated event for the MSM cameras, Dom Smith took his place on the field for the Mets-Marlins game....and then walked off the field in tears ...stopping only at home plate to drape it with a BLM t-shirt......he then boo hoo'ed his way through a press conference and said he was too upset ov the Jacob Blake shooting to play baseball........i wonder how he feels about the Dancin Grannies.......i did notice that the Milwaukee Bucks played a home game last night...a mere 24 hours after their fellow citizens were mowed down by a career thug.....i'm sure there was a moment of silence.......I wonder if the Packers plan to take a stand against this senseless waste of life and draw attention to this low bail fiasco that is endangering everyone .........i wonder if Lebron James wants to have a conversation about any of this ?

I also wonder why the Boston Celtics acquired the talented Center Enos Kanter , but have thus far played him sparingly ? could it be because he called out Lebron James and Nike as hypocrites for making sneakers with chinese slave labor and for putting profits above all else ?

I've given up the game, i got to leave

 The pot of gold is only make-believe

The treasure can’t be found by men who search

Whose gods are dead and whose queens are in the church (Dylan)

although i drift further from the world of sports with every passing season, i am reminded that the games themselves are not the problem....but rather as society continues to erode it is the miscreant participants that destroy the foundation......But every now and again you hear a wonderful story that came to the stage because of sports....Jared Casey is one of those.

In fairness the only show i watch on Evil ESPN is college Gameday, and they never disappoint....and yesterday was no exception....On November 13th the 31 point under dog Kansas Jayhawks beat the Mighty University of Texas in Austin,  on a risky two point conversion in OT.......and that is just the tip of the iceberg. The player who caught the conversion pass was a walk-on fullback that have never played an offensive snap before ( he was used only as a special teams player on kickoffs) FB Jared Casey from Plainville Kansas.......now comes the really amazing part.......20 years ago while pregnant with Jared, Mrs Casey was told by her doctor that the child she was carrying would only live a week because of a rare blood disorder that they discovered.......her and her husband were devastated but held true to their Christian beliefs and she carried the child full term.......obviously he didn't die......he grew up and fell in love with Football, but when he graduated high school the only offers he had were from Junior Colleges........he chose to go to KU and try out for the team.....he made the team but only played on special teams ...........his parents still drove to every game....even the 11 hour drive to Austin.....one month prior to the game Mrs. Casey lost her brother in law, and before he died Jared visited and gave his Uncle his KU receiver gloves.........before the game Mrs. Casey said a young boy in Texas gear came up to them in the stadium and said one word "Believe" and walked away.....strange occurrences in the desert no doubt.......as the game went  to overtime the Casey were starting to feel they were witnessing something special......what they didn't know was that the Kansas tight end was injured in oT and ruled out for the remainder of the game.......Kansas scored at the other end of the field to make the score 56-55........and decided to go for the WIN...or loose the game if they failed.......his Mom decided to video tape the play but his Dad couldn't bear to watch and buried his head in his hands.......neither of them realized at first that Jared was on the field playing tight end.....the QB rolled out and threw back across the end zone for the win.........as the Jayhawks mobbed the tiny tight end his parents finally realized that it was Jared who caught the pass.....as Mom continued to video tape, Jared made his way to the other end of the field and made eye contact with his parents and gave them a thumbs up ...in the grand scheme of the College Football Playoffs this will register not even a footnote......but to me.....this was the play of the year.......maybe somebody needed to hear this story.....maybe someone who is dealing with a devastating medical prognosis or someone who has just lost a child or a brother in law or anyone special.......that play won't change the world, that play won't save humanity, but hopefully somewhere....someone....will be inspired to BELIVE....and i had to share that ! 

My patron saint is a-fighting with a ghost
He’s always off somewhere when I need him most

first to fight for right and freedom

 And to keep our honor clean; We are proud to claim the title

Of United States Marines.

With great honor and respect we would like to wish the United States Marine Corp a Happy and Healthy Birthday ......246 years ago a recruitment drive began in the Tun Tavern in Philadelphia ( a spot near Penn landing that is now marked with a historic landmark sign as the original building was razed) by Sam Nicholas and the Manager of the Tavern Robert Mullan....to recruit an elite force of veteran men to assist George Washington and capable of fighting both on land and at sea.

Through the past two centuries and a half the USMC has distinguished itself as the greatest fighting force the world has ever known. As horrific as the battle against Germany on the shores of Normandy was, the campaign in the Pacific was far worse. Perhaps because these battles were fought on islands in the sea , the press at the the time was unable or unwilling to share the unfathomable details with the folks back home .....at least not the brutal details of hand to hand combat against the Godless Japanese bastards.

 Guadalcanal, Bougainville, Tarawa, Guam, Tinian, Cape Gloucester, Saipan, Peleliu, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa saw the most fierce fighting the United States has ever experienced in her glorious history. The Navy rose from the ashes of Pearl Harbor and forced the ultimate surrender onboard the Mighty Missouri , but make no mistake; that war could not have been won at sea alone. The Human sacrifice to take and hold they key series of islands that lead to the Japanese homeland were crucial in the eventual dropping  of the Atomic bomb by the Enola Gay.

I interjected once at a bbq on behalf of a friends father.....a WWII Marine Vet ( no names please) who was engaged with a simpleton career civilian...a pompous ass that loved to bloviate about nothing and was minimalizing at best or mocking at worst the role of the Marines in the Pacific. ( surely it was a failed attempt at humor for a socially awkward introvert), but i couldn't listen anymore and had to school this man who was 20 years my senior............now my friends Dad certainly didn't need me sticking up for him, but i had been drinking cold beer in the hot sun and couldn't resist........he pulled me aside discreetly so that nobody's feeling were hurt and just said "he's not worth it".............that says more about his character and that of his fellow United States Marines.......God Speed and Thank You All for saving the World....truly the World's Greatest Generation.

Here's health to you and to our Corps

Which we are proud to serve; In many a strife we've fought for life

And never lost our nerve.

If the Army and the Navy

Ever look on Heaven's scenes, They will find the streets are guarded

By United States Marines.

welcome back my friends

 To the show that never ends

We're so glad you could attend

Come inside! Come inside   (ELP)

the left is so bold.....they do not even save their opposing hypocritical views for separate press conferences.....exhibit A ....Phil Murphy.

yesterday Gov Murphy called on Jack Citterelli to concede the election.........5 days earlier he pleaded with supporters and the press to wait until EVERY vote was counted before declaring a winner.....'that's what our democracy is all about" he said.......then the AP declared him the winner with over 75K votes as yet uncounted.....and he said Cittarelli was "behaving downright UN-American by not conceding"......spoiler alert....that's not even the hypocrisiy i am referring to......in the same press conference he stated that he felt Senate President and fellow Democrat Steve Sweeney was entitled to a recount after loosing to a local truck driver............downright UN-American ? gotcha

exhibit B  the reaction to Winsome Sears.

Winsome Sears emigrated to America from Jamaica at the age of 6.....her Dad says he had $1.75 in his pocket when they landed in the Bronx and he found a job to support the family. She is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps and last week became the first woman of color to be elected Lt Governor in Virginia's history..........surely Disney already has a movie in the works.....heck the obamas will use some of the mad loot they took from Netflix to produce a mini series on this womans life......schools will be named after her and statues erected..........one problem, she is a  Republican...those awful people that choose candidates based on ideas and not the color of their skin, Gender or sexual perversion.....

BUT....this victory did not sit well with African American Liberals......Joy Reid and fellow lib Mike Dyson declared Sears to be "nothing more than a black mouthpiece for white ideas".....hows that for unifying language ? so if it wasn't bad enough that they are pusghing critical race theory down childrens throats and trying to divide everyone in this country based on skin color......now they want you to believe that ideas are either white or black..........a house divided cannot stand.

we live in a political world

 Wisdom is thrown into jail

It rots in a cell, is misguided as hell

Leaving no one to pick up a trail  (Dylan)

common sense question.......if a man robs a bank and is apprehended in the chase.....and is found to have a child in his car........what do the Police do after the arrest ?

I can tell you what they don't do.......they do not incarcerate the child with his father in the same cell in the county lockup , that much i know for sure.

So.....if an adult decides to cross the border from Mexico and enter the United States illegally, and has a child with them......why wouldn't the border patrol separate the two and try to find a non law breaking relative to come take possession of the child..?

better question.....why does Joe Biden want to give these two individuals 450K each for their troubles ?

ive worked with people who weren't able to save 450K on their IRA's after 30 years on the Rock Pile.....i know if i was picking avacados in gutamala for 30 cents a day and living in a mud hut...i would grab a kid and hit the road to tijuana........a 450k lottery ticket is quite the incentive....despite jen psaki insisting that the border is closed.

incidentally , from the land of hypocrisy; comes this little gem buried in this mornings news......international travel is back........JFK and other airports to welcome international flights.....but incoming tourists MUST be vaccinated ......***UNLESS****....get this.........unless you are coming from a country where the adult vaccine rate is less than 10%..........seriously, let that sink in.......people coming from the countries with the lowest amount of vaccinated people DON"T have to be vaccinated.....where is the logic ?  if we follow the science and doctor Schotzke.....shouldn't it be the exact opposite ??   shouldn't we be restricting ANY travel from countries with less than 10% vaccine rate instead of making an exception for them ?

oh....and people under the age of 18 are exempt.........so again......while Big Bird and Sesamee street are pushing American children between the ages of 5 -12 to get vaccinated.....(.and it's only a matter of time before that becomes a mandate for attending school )  international teenagers are free to come into the country without a vaccine......head scratching logic...

We live in a political world

Turning and a-thrashing about

As soon as you’re awake, you’re trained to take

What looks like the easy way out

could be i already found him

 Lefty Ruggiero in the movie Donnie Brasco when asked "hey Lefty, whatta ya gonna do when you find the rat ?

and so now, after being played for morons and fools...an insider with the Mets has confirmed what most of suspected....there was no Rat or Racoon...or Ratcoon  in the dugout tunnel this summer....but instead there was an altercation between middle infielders Francisco Lindor and Jeff Mcniel.......everyone right on down the line circled the wagons and stuck to the Rat/Racoon story........their little inside joke at the expense of their ignorant fans....but now we hear that Lindor followed Mcniel into the tunnel and grabbed him by the throat.........let that sink in..........ask yourself......had the roles been reversed.......had utility man and probable trade bait Jeff Mcniel grabbed the 300 million dollar man by HIS throat .....would we have heard about it immediately ? would Mcniel have been fined, suspended or even released ?  would louie rojas have told the press that theres' just no place for that in the game and would the Mets have insisted that violence isn't part of the winning culture they are building ? 

 It's my opinion that Lindor threw JD Davis under the bus when he made an error early in the year ( Mets lost 3-1, lindor was hitting .200 and he said the defense let the team down ...Davis made an error that night) because he preferred his fellow latino Louis Gillorme as his infield partner.......and he lobbied for Javy Baez instead of Mcniel at 2nd...........very similar to when that other POS Santana cried when a young left fielder misplayed a ball in the Miami sun in the first week of the season that cost him a run in a 2-1 loss.....that outfielder was none other than Danny Murphy........

so maybe it's not racism but just preference......if i had a choice to hang out in a bar and have a few beers i would chose to do so with Mcniel and Davis instead of those imported Ricans Baez and Lindor......but the undeniable fact is that Met management covered up an ugly transgression by one of their star players.....protecting their investment ? perhaps.......but let's not get on a soap box and preach down to the world the next time an ordinary Joe or Jeff does something similar.

in short, i hope the mets trade the few guys a like this offseason, so i can laugh as they loose 100 games......remind me again ?   how many games did Don Smith say he was too upset to even play after the 13 soldiers were killed in Afghanistan ?  how many times did he make a spectacle of himself and drape home plate with a Blue Lives Matter T-shirt after an innocent police officer was killed in the line of duty ? ? ....sorry...my mistake.....those grand jestures are saved for miscreant thugs who are injured while slapping the shit out of their baby mamas.....good to know.

Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room

Only to find Gideon's bible

Gideon checked out, and he left it no doubt

To help with good Rocky's revival

it's a beautiful morning, ah

 I think I'll go outside for a while

And just smile  ( Felix Cavaliere / The Rascals)

oh yes it is......it seems that the Suburban Moms and Housewives of Virginia ( and hopefully the whole country) have made a statetment on Education in this country....or maybe they just hate the way that moron Mcauliffe dances...

maybe the pandemic will be given credit for this awakening....for it can be argued that once the demonrats forced all the schools in this country to go remote, that the parents suddenly found themselves more involved and able to listen in on the zoom classes.....and they weren't happy with the CRT horseshit and the basic marxist socialists tendencies of the brainwashers entrusted with educating their children....maybe this was the gut punch the country needed to wake the fuck up before it's too late...time will tell.

meanwhile in Newark, Camden and Trenton i am sure they are busy filling out absentee ballots to steal away Jack Cittarelli's lead....but hey....in a state where horsface has 1 million more registered voters, it speaks volumnes that he  is loosing with 88% of the vote counted.

let's hope this is an indication of things to come in the mid terms and 2024....in the interim....crack a beer and enjoy Felix Cavalierre and the Rascals on this weds morn

Seems to me that people keep seeing more and more each day

Gotta say, lead the way

It's okay, brand new day

Gotta say, it's okay

Brand new day, gotta say, lead the way

Oh, oh, oh

i'm your prime cut of beef, i'm your choice

 I wanna be elected,

I'm your yankee doodle dandy in a gold Rolls Royce,

I wanna be elected,

Kids want a savior, don't need a fake,

I wanna be elected,

We're all gonna rock to the rules that I make,

I wanna be elected, elected, elected.   (Alice Cooper)
