West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah RiverLife is old there, older than the treesYounger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze (J.Denver)Whatever you think or feel about Soccer, you have to love the spirit of a team of men representing the USA in the World Cup. On home soil, in the summer of our 250th year.....this has a story book feel to it.
Last night the boys in Red, White and Blue survived the refs and Bosnia.........the zebras disallowed 2 of our goals for offsides , and i am in no position to argue about the validity of those calls ( most bizzare offsides rules in all of organized sprts) and we also had to play a man down for most of the 2nd half after a questionable Red Card was issued to one of our star players ( Balogun, for those of you keeping score at home) .....and unfortunately he will be suspended for the next game..........could you imagine Messier missing a playoff game because of a penalty he took in the prior game ? ....absurd sport.
If it's Tuesday weld, it must be Belgium...............or something like that.
Monday night we take on the belgiuminians .....and it feels like we just lost to them in the last world cup.......nope that was the Dutch in 2022.........mustve been 2018...........nope, we didn't qualify for that World Cup......... in yet another episode of where does the time go.....we lost to Belgium 12 years ago in the knockout stage of the 2014 WC........I do know that i was in the Dubliner on Stone Street for the game with my former Head Linesman and a crew.....not 100% sure who else was there.....feel free to add a comment below if you were there......2014 was a good World Cup....watched most of it in Texas-Arizona in Hoboken.....but we gathered on Stone St for the knockout stage.
anyway God Speed to the Lads.......
I.........I
I Believe...........I Believe
I Believe that we will win.........I Believe that we will win
stock market disclosure.....although i was touting a DJIA melt up with the conclusion of the war......and it still may happen.....but i am taking a cautious path......i moved an additional 20% out of equities and into Money Market yesterday.....i think the country is starting to suffer from Trump fatigue.....I still support him , but i am disappointed in POTUS and the Republican party.....they had 2 years to get the important stuff done and they failed miserably......i think we get slaughtered in November and then things will grind to a halt.....def no rate cuts this year....B of A still predicting 2 or 3 hikes instead.....i'll put a nice nest egg on the sides gaining 3.5-4% interest........i also still buy the series I bonds through Treasury direct.......i am waiting/expecting for that one event that sends the markets tumbling...hopefully nothing bad happens around this weekend....but hey, we are at War....and we know there are plenty of Loyal Iranians living on our shores....so stay safe.......at some point most likely i will put that 20% back in at a deep discount......just pray its not at anyone i know expense.
I can't be a hypocrite and complain about the Scotus decisions handed down , especially Comey-Barret......there is a difference between common sense logic and deciding Right from wrong, and interpreting the constitution ......SCOTUS job is NOT to write the laws....but rather to decide legality.
Birthright citizenship may very well destroy the Country.....but it is up to Congress to amend that ......and take it away.....the 14th amendment was put in place after the civil war to grant Citizenship to the children of freed slaves( the parents were not citizens) and that was the right thing to do at the time.......they did not envision global travel or our enemies trying to manipulate that.....but it is NOT the role of SCOTUS to make that decision......just as they must uphold the 2nd amendment and not except the argument that the framers could not envision automatic weapons......it is the role of Congress to write the laws.......but just as they slept for the past 50 years and did nothing about abortion, immigration or even gun control....they certainly will not get anything done on Voting or Birthright Citizenship.....but to get mad at Scotus would be the equivalent of blaming a meter maid for not catching the Son of Sam..............when we all know it was Charlie Higgins Sr that eventually caught the Son of Sam.........who knows, maybe he was hanging out in a shoe bar .
side note.....it is interesting to see the leftist democrats getting devoured by the further left socialist's and communists in their own party........seeing Jewish Congressmen Dan Golden being barred from a coffee shop in downtown Brooklyn because he supports Israel.....or the other fruitcake in California getting chased out of a park ....he supports lgbtq-lmnop ......he decriminalized the act of knowingly giving someone aids through sex.....he backs trannies in all sports.....but he is obviously a jew ....and so the Hammas wing of the demonrat party chased him away.......it would be hysterical if it wasn't so frightening.........Schumer and Jeffries say NOTHING.......but they wil probably expect us to stand up when the crowds come for THEM.....
anyhoo......i'll be back with a Patriotic ....AMERICA 250 message before the 4th.....stay safe, drink plenty of icey cold fluids.....and remember that 2+3=250
