Johnny, Roisin up your bow

and play your fiddle hard
'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals the cards
And if you win, you get this shiny fiddle made of gold

But if you lose, the Devil gets your soul (Charlie Daniels)

Donald J Trump just played the Demonrats like a Stradivarius.....in yet another major issue facing Americans; the Republicans have seized the High ground and stand with the masses....the working class men and women , the ones whose only crime is driving to work, the cops, firemen and nurses that work overnight shifts and keep this city functioning , the ones that just want to live to see the sunrise and chose to drive into the cesspool of Manhattan instead of risking lives and limbs on the lawless mass transit system.......the Republicans STAND with You.

Kathy Horseface hochul wants to turn Manhattan into an elitist playground, where only the 1% can afford to visit ......Utopia on the Hudson....no cars.....no peasants parking in front of the doorman apartment buildings.....why stop there Kathy ? why not ban those noisy garbage trucks that wake us up everyday.....and those large tractor trailers that deliver Food....and the UPS gas guzzlers that delivers trinkets from china on an hourly basis........can't get enough of a good idea. 

Yesterday was the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of Iwo Jima.....a bloody siege that would change the course of the War in the Pacific and the direction of mans time on the planet....it took 4 days for the US forces to take control of mt Suribachi and Raise the Flag over the island on Feb 23rd......the fighting would continue for 6 weeks and see 7,000 Americans lose their lives.....there aren't enough words to describe the heroism and importance of this battle and i know my readers are well versed on the subject.....but i can still implore you to give it some thought today, say a quick prayer and raise a glass in their memory.

Tonight the Red , White and Blue take to the ice to face our future 51st state in the 4 Nations Final.......truth be told i am nervous....very, very nervous......but it would be a great way to Kickoff Sweater Nite 27 weekend........here is an updated lineup of events

Well, that ol' Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle down on the ground at Johnny's feet
Johnny said, "Devil, come on back if you ever wanna try again
I done told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best there's ever been"
And he played........
