Philosophy, is the talk on a cereal box

 Religion, is the smile on a dog (Edie Brickell)



This Government shutdown really is a small picture of a much larger problem.......too many elected officials were elected based  off of sound bites or optics......they really don't understand the issues today, and they either do not have a constructive thought or they have become too paralyzed to voice their own ideas........fear that down the road their own words would be used against them.......but here is the thing .....if your thoughts and suggestions are authentic....if they are your own.......if you believe them at your core.......what are you afraid of ? and that eliminates the majority of those governing today........their thoughts belong to the party or their top intern.....they do not understand basic economics, let alone some of the complex stuff they carefully tap dance around..... and so they resort to Bully posturing, Trump derangement sound bites, matador avoidance, Let's have a conversation after these hot microphones are OFF, or my favorite....."my position is available on my website, and I'm either too stupid or lazy to regurgitate what my staff put together".  the sad thing is that those too afraid to govern are being rewarded by the shutdown......the confirmation process for new judges is being blocked/delayed.......air traffic controller new class........pay for the military and other no brainer issues are all idling in the slow lane.....it might be nice if the dbags were also missing paycheks.....but alas, Congress & Senate still get paid as if they were working.......talk about a corrupt system.


for all of about 12 seconds i was rooting for Toronto to beat the hated Dodgers......but that crackhead mayor Ford decided to use our national past time to air commercials , falsely portraying Ronald Reagan of criticizing POTUS use of Tariffs   .....the Reagen foundation immediately cried foul and went on record to say the Gipper was being manipulated by the deceptive commercial.....and in truth President Reagan himself absolutely applied tariffs on Japan because of a threat to National Security.......didn't stop Canada from continuing to air the commercial all weekend......and their target is the SCOTUS and an upcoming hearing for Nov 5th on President Trumps use of tariffs.........talk about a foreign Nation interfering in American Politics ? well of course nobody in our stupid country is even paying attention or understands the intended purpose of the commercials....did i say nobody ?  i stand corrected.....the Great Donn has immediately broken off all discussions with Canada on trade and is planning to Raise their tariffs.......Slainte Baby.

i know it's all part of the judicial game, but it's still disgusting that these defense attorney's are most concerned with how their client can dress for his trial of killing Charlie Kirk ?  it's a blatantly obvious statement that the American jury system is filled with hapless clowns that could easily be swayed by a defendants appearance....and not the facts.

Brian Kelly OUT at LSU.........couldn't happen to a bigger douchebag than Kelly.........I would hate to see Kiflin leave Ol Miss.......but i do hope LSU finds a good coach.

if NYC falls for this act by mandani, they deserve what thy get......he gave a speech last week about 9/11......and how his poor Auntie was afraid to ride the subway in the aftermath because of rampant islamaphobia.......yep, he is serious.......3,000 innocent people murdered by his fellow moslems and his aunt was the true victim........turns out his aunt wasn't even in the country.....and so he quickly pivoted and said he was talking about someone he referred to as auntie......she conveniently died a few years ago.........he talks about affordable housing......but he is a multi millionaire and his wife is even richer.....they live in a rent controlled apartment that was supposed to be for low income individuals......yep....think carefully NY....


Choke me in the shallow water,

before i get too deep

I've been warped by the rain,

  driven by the snow

I'm drunk and dirty don't ya know, and I'm still, willin'
And I was out on the road late at night
I'd seen my pretty Alice in every head light
Alice, Dallas Alice (Lowell George)



nobody had their finger of the pulse of America back in the day quite like Lowell George  and Little Feat....another character of the long dark night taken from us way too soon......but i myself have just extricated myself after 4 long days journeying the roads of the south.....through State parks and national Forests......up mountains, around lakes and so on........we rolled through Greenville, took a respite in the land of JR.......we stopped in Nashville for 48 hours of Mayhem and rounded it out with a Visit to Clemson......saw a hockey game, caught a Blues Traveler concert at the Ryman and ate and drank like a Pirate looks at 60.....

I am Happy to report that America is Alive and Well.........the economy is booming for hardworking Patriots that played by the rules...lowered their heads and endured a lot of BS the past 20 years.....the dark cloud has lifted........and MAGA Nation was out on the streets of Nashville taking a victory lap , enjoying the seasonably warm temps, drinking cold beeeer like oxygen and Loving Life in the USA.

That's not to say that our great nation does not have a long, hard fight in front of us......the truth is the left was smart enough to seize the education system 40 or 50 years ago.....and we have to deal with a lot of people that have been brainwashed by the liberal ideology that globalism/Socialism is better than Capitalism....that open borders and traveling Nomads are better than controlled immigration and protecting our sovereignty , and that by tearing down the top echelon of society you somehow raise the bottom rings of the ladder.........the demonrats own the teachers union and use them as a piggy bank.......they have been fighting hard for decades to eliminate the Catholics schools and now the Charter schools.....they despise choice.....they want one singular voice telling students from 1st grade to college that America isn't exceptional, that we were built by slaves and trans is normal and not a mental disorder...... that it's okay to defy Federal law to protect an illegal alien but don't you dare try to form a sanctuary city for the unborn fetus........and for the first time in our lifetime there was a glimmer of hope on the college campuses.......a beacon of free, honest, truthful speech.......and after he was murdered by a trans adjacent assassin,  i was shocked to learn that conspiracy theories immediately arose to accuse a tired old villian.........Israel.......are they simple enough to believe that everything  bad in the world is the fault of the jewish state or are they clever enough to spew this nonsense as a distraction to the vapid ?
The next two weeks will offer a glimpse into the future of America.........NY stands on the precipice of electing a Jew Hating, Moslem, Socialist as mayor.......Nj may chose another DEI empty suit without a plan or an idea.....even her own party has distanced itself from her lone position on energy costs.......she was admitted to the Naval Academy at a time when anyone with a pair of tits and a pulse was given a free pass.....and she was caught up in a cheating scandal and not permitted to march at Graduation..... and down in Virginia the party of tolerance is supporting an AG Candidate that wants to put a bullet into his opponents head and the head of his children.....and their candidate for Governor can't bring herself to condemn these words......so yes, there is a lot of work ahead of us......

silly side note....the liberal left media is losing their minds because DJT is building a new ballroom on the White House.....using his own $ and Corporate donations.....unfortunately they couldn't delete all the clips of CNN reporting with admiration and glee when Obama spent $200 million of taxpayer $$ to construct a basketball court at the same White House........selective outrage and hypocrisy rule the day.......but hey......at least we still have NASHVILLE.



2+3=BEEER


 And I been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me weed, whites and wine
And you show me a sign
I'll be willin', to be movin'

Suddenly I turned around

 and she was standin’ there

With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm” (Dylan)



There is a lot that can be said of Donald J Trump......the positive and the negative....but for today at least, he should be allowed to bask in the glow of accomplishing something that most of us ( including me) felt was impossible........imagine if someone in the final 20 hostages released was a friend or family member ?  so many times over the past 2 years i felt as though the hostages were already dead and that Israel should just go into ghaza and kill everyone.......i am stunned and astonished that they somehow got 20 more innocent souls released....well done.


Where do the American protestors pivot now ?  for 2 years they have cried about about a fictitious genocide, ignoring the fact that Ghaza and Hamas started the conflict and took human hostages.......but now the war has been ended by their greatest enemy....the evil Dr Orange .....what now ?

i suppose there is a big huddle this morning with Bernie, AOC, Omar and the rest of the jv squad.......how do we react ?  how do we find fault with Trump? how do we shift focus in a different direction? which buzz words will the echo to Martha Brennan , Norah O'Donnell and meet the press ?

how tiring it must be to limp through life as the perennial victim .


Kudos Mr. President......i personally did not think it was worth the time or effort to focus on the hostages for so long.....but i stand here corrected.

2+3=BEEER

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation an’ they gave me a lethal dose
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn
“Come in,” she said, “I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

Look out any window

 any morning, any evening, any day (Lesh-Hunter)


it's one of those Box of Rain days.......i feel invigorated....i have time and i have energy.....i may take a swing at the great American novel.....or just spend more time on this wildly popular Blog.


One thing i love about AI is messing with Google's Chatbot and their AI mode search.......i ask deliberately bizarre questions just to annoy the robots....and see what type of jibberish they come back with.......i'm also hoping that when the robots go to Happy Hour across the street and sling back a few beers they tell funny stories about my questions......my top 3 lately have been 

which one of Bidens Uncles was eaten by Cannibals ?

What was the one thing Kamala Harris said she would do differently than Biden if elected President ?

How many Democratic politicians did Conservatives  assassinate during Jan 6th protests ? 


and of course , does 2+3=BEEER ? see the response below



No, in mathematics, 2 + 3 = 5

. The equation

2+3=BEEER2 plus 3 equals BEEER

is a non-sensical, humorous phrase that is sometimes seen online and in meme culture, similar to other absurd math "problems." It's not a real or solvable equation


Finally , AI recognizes me as being ABSURD.....


anyway....i also intend to make Millions like Mikee Sherrill by daytrading in my accts.....now that i am no longer subject to my firms draconian restrictions......and although i love the blue chip high dividend players, i have also done extremely well the last 18 months with some technology stocks........i loaded up on PLTR at $30.......NVDA after the split at $120....VST at $160.....and some bitcoin and ethereum...

Today i want to share a home run play.....definitely a swing at the fences....not a sure thing....but i think a logical play...and i will share my reasons.

the stock is Aurora Innovations....symbol AUR...this is their analyst objective recap

Aurora Innovation, Inc. develops the Aurora Driver, which is designed as a platform to adapt and interoperate among a multitude of vehicle types and applications. The Aurora Driver is an advanced and scalable suite of self-driving hardware, software, and data services to transform the global transportation market. The Company has integrated the Aurora Driver into numerous different vehicle platforms designed to meet its requirements: from passenger vehicles to light commercial vehicles to Class 8 trucks. It intends to launch Aurora Driver for Freight, its driverless trucking subscription service, as its first commercial product. Its second core market focuses on passenger mobility, initially targeting the ride hailing space with Aurora Driver for Rides, its driverless ride hailing subscription service. Its third core market is local goods delivery, which spans several sub-segments, including last-mile parcel and post, prepared food, grocery, and business-to-business (B2B) delivery.


so the piece i am betting on is their driverless freight trucking subscription......America is buying more online and wants everything shipped to their front door asap.....America has a shortage of 18 wheel drivers......Sean Duffy is using ICE to stop and apprehend illegal aliens that are driving these trucks and putting ALL Americans  in danger.........the demand is there and will only increase.....AUR is already operating limited driverless freight service between Dallas-Austin-Houston......these trucks can drive all night without taking a break......24/7 back and forth and back again.....and no drivers union to pay/negotiate with........there is competition in the field although AUR seems to be the leader......whomever gets their first can basically write their own ticket...everyone from Amazon to Walmart would love to ship their goods from the San Diego ports to Athens Georgia without worry of an accident...liability or theft ....and here is the kicker.....i initially bought at $5.75   a share....their 52 week range has been from $4.75 to $10.75.........today it's in the low range of $5.45.........so nothing is given....but theres a good chance it could double just on speculation or a good story like it did back in February and go back over $10.......on the down side, it's only .70 cents above it's 52 week low.......so it probably won't dip much below that bottom ( famous last words)..............anyway....this is a risk........AI is wide open......but this one is a relatively cheap stock with real world potential.......driverless freight is coming mainstream in the next 5-10 years......AUR may not get there first.....but i think it's got a fair shot..........but like my college picks.....i have been wrong before.

2+3= an absurd Meme......oh...and BEEER


And it's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
Or leave it if you dare
And it's just a box of rain
Or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
And a short time to be there

Almost Heaven


Life is old there, older than the treesYounger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze (J. Denver)




This morning i awoke to 53 degrees....the coolest it has been here since i moved........0% humidity.......not a single cloud in either of the 4 directions.....i donned a light sweatshirt , grabbed a cup of coffee and took my pal for a walk.......i let him linger over all the interesting smells he could find......i did not have to rush home and sign on.....i said a prayer as we walked....a prayer of thankfulness......nobody knows how long we will live, but this morning i made it to retirement.....and we all have lots of friends that did not......and so if i am gone tomorrow or enjoy another 5,10,15 or 20.....know that i experienced a day like today.......and i was grateful.

Dark and dusty, painted on the skyMisty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me homeTo the place I belong
