They run and hide their heads
They might as well be deadIf the rain comes
If the rain comes (Lennon-Mccartney)
a wonderful world of alcohol and sometimes hockey ramblings....a great place to get drunk or fantisize about being drunk.
They run and hide their heads
They might as well be deadand passion rules the arrow that flies
A million faces at my feet but all I see are dark eyes (Dylan)
Some mother’s child has gone astray, she can’t find him anywhere
But I can hear another drum beating for the dead that rise
Whom nature’s beast fears as they come, and all I see are dark eyes
if you shouldn't feel
less concern about the deep unreal (Hunter-Garcia)
this world is spinning towards a calamity the likes of which we may never have seen before and it's all by design....you see the worse things get, the easier it becomes for rulers to impose their will, extinguish freedoms, steal wealth, and force compliance......i'll try to be brief.
nobody is that dumb.....the gas shortages are by design to inflict economic pain....this administration has killed pipelines, banned drilling and fracking and emptied our strategic reserves....again....NOBODY is that dumb. the other day there was an attack on the Nord Stream Pipeline ( Not Nordstrom Kamala) which will dramatically reduce or entirely postpone the amount of Natural gas that can be shipped from Russia to Germany this winter. A Former Polish defense minister is accusing the USA of the attack, while others are accusing Russia of sabotaging their own pipeline to further punish the EU and launch a smear campaign against the west...we ALL know Putin would never blow up his own pipeline...if he want to punish Western Europe he may turnoff the tap, but blowing it up would be counter-productive....it makes sense that the good ol USA was behind the explosion....at the end of the day it doesn't matter...what does matter is now the Angela merkel has dismantled Germany's Nuclear power industry, people will die this long cold winter while others will simply go broke.
In the USA FEMA has said that we may not have enough oil in our strategic reserves to withstand a prolonged shut down in the Gulf as a result of Hurricane IAN or the next storm...meanwhile POTUS has been tapping into our reserves and selling that oil to China....i'm not kidding, look it up if you think i am .......think ABC and CBS care to report that? instead, they are already talking about more federal spending to subsidize Heating and Electric costs for low income people this winter. they are clearly hellbent on bankrupting this nation , and as inflation continues to roar, the Federal reserve Chairman Powell is saying we NEED 1.2 Million layoffs to slow the tide......people can't pay rent, electric bills or fill up their cars with gasoline and we are going to layoff 1.2 million people......it's by design friends, and it's already too late. ....keep our friends and family in the Great State of Florida in your thoughts and prayers today as Ian makes its agonizingly slow approach...if Alvarez is on the beach in Panama City, I hope he has a bottle of the Jack to keep him company.
New ones comin as the old ones go
Everything's movin here but much too slowly
Little bit quicker and we might have time
to say 'how do you do?" before we're left behind
Past the graveyard, voices whisper to me.
I was walking down the street, early this morning
And the silver tears of rain hung from the leaves
And I swear I heard the voices singing to me (Concrete Blonde)
if you listen carefully to the written words above you can hear Jehnette Napolitano's haunting, powerful voice sharing a song as only she could. I hate this month with a passion.....as our country , our world teeters on the brink of crossing over into the oblivion i feel it's too late. I don't think we can come all the way back this time.....the pendelum will continue swing back and forth...but each time it swings back it stops a few inches shy of previous high-water mark. A full generation is growing up with senseless crime as the norm, elderly citizens are prisoners in their own homes. saturday night in Wildwood Nj an illegal pop up party with vehicle stunts was held on the main avenue. 500 cars descended on the sleepy off season seaside town and proceeded to drag race and spin doughnuts on main street. in 2 separate incidents innocent people out for dinner were killed when first a car went airborne and crashed into a vehicle in the oncoming lane (killing the driver instantly) and a few blocks away a car jumped the curb and slammed through a liquor store window (killing a pedestrian unlucky enough to be on the sidewalk). wildwood police said they were faced with an invasion and were unmanned and unable to control the throngs....too bad buck tooth murphy sent 75 State Troopers to Puerto Rico to help with heavy rains.....the poor tax paying citizens in wildwood could have used them.
in howard beach a 30 year old woman was followed off the train and savagely beaten because she refused to talk to her attacker while on the train...this animal has an interesting rap sheet.....as a 14 year old misunderstood stymie he beat his Grandmother to death in bklyn because she refused to give him money....as a 20 year old he stabbed someone while in Creedmore in the face and neck and permanently disfigured the individual ....oh and of course he was out on parole.
in reality no lives matter....no lives have value to the dark side of society...and the darkness is overtaking the light....as we crawl excruciatingly slowly through autumn to the winter of certain death, the good in society are like the poor people of wildwood....outmanned and overmatched.
in queens yesterday a man was shoplifting in a Rite Aid.....they called Police and he fled.....he ran across the street and tried to drag a 57 year old man out of his car to steal the vehicle....he drove over the double line up onto the street and through the front window of a KFC.....at a time when shoplifting is no longer even prosecuted if the theft is below $1,000 , why would this suspect up his own charges to grand theft auto, kidnapping, reckless endangerment and or attempted murder ? because at the end of the day nothing matters.....it's all just a game...when there are no consequences for your action there are no deterrents to criminal behavior.
i continue to retreat, retreat, retreat...to a simpler time....i disappear into my beer with my music and memories to keep me company, some real and some were just not sure yet....today we give thanks to Jehnette
And on the bus today, I met the queen of L.A.
At least she said she was and who am I to say?
She was sixty-five and full of life,
She had purple-painted cheeks
And glitter on her eyes
And the troll on the corner, I flipped him a quarter
And he looked at me and smiled.
He wasn't abused, he wasn't confused,
He had nothing to gain and less to lose in Hollywood
Oh WOW! Thought I'd be out of here by now.
Still in Hollywood!

websters defines society as the aggregate of people living together in a more or less ordered community.
here in the United Staes of America, in the dying month of 2022; there is no order or community.
i just returned from a week in Folly Beach SC, and i am convinced that this country is beyond saving. what was already a slow decline of civilization seems to have been exacerbated by the pandemic/isolation/shutdown. Most of the people i encountered had an aggravated chip on their shoulder... a feeling that someone owed them something...that they had been taken advantage of and were not going to let that happen again, that they were the victim of the world and out for revenge. everyone seems to think that they should be first in line, that everything costs too much and if they succumb and pay the prices of admission anyway, then they should certainly get more, more, more than they were promised. the rare acts of civility that were witnessed felt forced and disingenuous....an obvious pandering by white America to the blacks to prove that they were ON their side....i wonder if the blacks are shrewd enough to see through it. and the phony religious people, the ones who are so blessed and accept everything as Gods will or a Gift from God; well they are the rudest human beings around. There also is a bizarre trend of people opening up to strangers, telling or retelling their entire life story, reshaping, omitting details and painting a self-portrait of how they see themselves or wish others to see them. One lady on the train talked across the aisle (loud enough for me to hear 2 rows in front) about her three marriages....her first husband and father of her children was an unhappy man and she left him for the good of her sons.....husband #2 was her childhood sweetheart who never matured, he unfortunately had a bitter divorce and spoiled his own children...so much so that she had to divorce him because again, she didn't want her kids to be exposed to those bad habits...husband 3 was absolutely wonderful and her ultimate soul mate...she met him 1 year ago and they married 6 months ago......she lives with him in Charleston sometimes, but refused to sell her home in Wilson, NC, where she spends weeks at a time alone ...probably banging the lawn guy, mailman and any other swinging dick that passes by the house while good old #3 is slaving away to keep his soulmate happy.....but why, why on earth do i need to know any of this ? then there was the 80 year old black woman who thinks business class means that the train is her home office and she is allowed to WFT (work from train)...with her fake, aw shucks southern drawl, speaking to people on the phone (LOUD) as the sweet little old lady, polite and a bit of a simpleton....all an act....as soon as she hung up she would call someone else and bitch about the person she just sucked up to....telling everyone that she's 79 but keeps working cuz she loves to help people...fraud....and these were the good ones.
the train home left Charleston at 9:00 am, but the last leg at 8:00 on a Friday night from DC was worthy of a short story...i think if i read a full description of the train i would be skeptical....i would assume this was a collection from years of travel combined into one train story for the benefit of the reader...but i assure you this collection of insanity was not only on the same train, but within 2 rows in either direction of my fucking seat...i am the magnet for crazy...i used to enjoy being the craziest person on mass transit, the drunken maniac that other people didn't want to sit near....now i blend into the background. Across the aisle was a black lady that got on in Fayetteville and was drinking vodka and sweet tea for 6 hours before she had an epiphany that our train wasn't really Business Class , but Coach Class with assigned seats, she bitched, moaned and slurred her words to anyone that would listen...until another black woman who worked for Amtrak but was off duty sat in the seat next to her...within minutes they were arguing and threatening to have each other thrown off the train...the Amtrak lady put in her earplugs and started singing gospel songs loudly, the Drunk switched seats and started a new conversation with a bicyclist across the aisle ( this is isn't business class, this is coach, this isn't business class) the bike rider was a special douchebag....60 years old...rode his bike from Pittsburgh to DC and now was taking the train home to Westchester....total loser....wearing gym shorts with his bike and helmet stored in the overheard .....he went on to tell her he has a son with aspergers syndrome and the kid was a fucking pain in the ass....never settles down and was driving this POS crazy...then came the black guy with a French bulldog in a crate, he was a breeder and he was selling Coco and delivering the dog to someone in NYC....of course the crate didn't fit in the overhead so COCO was placed next to the garbage bin that was overflowing at the front of the car in the wheel chair reserved section, and the Breeder took his seat next to the bike guy in front of me.....scumbag hipster gets on with an electric scooter that doesn't fit anywhere...walks up and down the train 10 or 15 times...as if a secret compartment was going to suddenly appear that would be big enough for him and his man bun and his scooter....then come the drunks....two people in their late 40's with 4 bags , and they couldn't stand up or speak.....hammered and wasted are not fair adjectives....these 2 were beyond bombed.....they collapsed into the handicapped seats one row ahead of me and across the aisle....and immediately start talking to Coco and demanding to buy the dog.........conductor makes an announcement, THIS TRAIN IS SOLDOUT....if you don't have a ticket , get off now.......guess who doesn't have a ticket ?? 10 minutes after departure here comes to conductor into this wing of Bellevue to check tickets...the drunks are asleep; he wakes them up.... the guy takes out a wad of cash to buy a ticket on a soldout train...conductor says he is going to throw him off the train at the next stop...Baltimore....i can envision a 90 minute delay as we wait for the Cops to board the train and escort these drunks OFF....it's 9:00pm i left my hotel at 7:30 am...i have an uber scheduled to pick me up in Metropark at 11:00pm,....a 90 minute delay will push me to 1:30 am and obviously i would have to reschedule my pickup......thankfully the drunk says he bought tickets but he can't find his phone...conductor looks him up and confirms he has coach tix and they just have to leave business class.....drunk lady starts rambling again, THIS is Not Business Class, this is not Business class...they move to the Cafe Car.....the Cafe Car has been closed since Alexandria...the angry spoon that was running the cafe car has been on her dinner break and told everyone that she doesn't have any of the complimentary beverages because everything was expired...our fault ? nope, she blames the strike that was actually averted the day before....don't try to figure that out...thankfully we had a cooler bag with a 12 pack of pints each that we have been drinking since Chucktown......THIS is NOT Business Class, Business class has tables and free beverages......THIS is NOT Business class.....eventually we approach Trenton....1 more fucking stop...3 separate sets of police vehicles with emergency lights flashing in the blocks around the station....but the drunks decide they are getting off the train...or he is.....she is passed out....conductor tells him this is NOT NY , this is Trenton.....drunk wants off....steps onto the platform......then wants to get back on but is standing on the platform arguing with the conductor....here we go.....conductor tells him to sit down and shut up or he's calling the cops....i am starting to think i should get off here and call Uber....thankfully the drunk sits down.........we get to Metropark....we decide to take the elevator because we have 4 bags....elevator opens......20 year old kid lying on the floor of the elevator convulsing, heroin overdose hopefully.....unfazed we take the stairs....
that being said, Folly Beach was nice.....great bars, friendly people.... sadly we encountered 2 girls at different coffee shops that could not make change....oh no, they had the physical pennies, dimes, nickels etc.....but their "machines" weren't working and telling them that if it costs $7.54 and the customer gives you $8 dollars ......how much do you give them back? not a joke or an exaggeration ...these weren't teens or foreign nationals working on summer visas....these were mid 20's American females...ones that probably took 100K in student loans to go to East Carolina and get banged at Frat parties for 4 years...unable to make change with a machine........well, like i said....society is dead.

as august lies dying in the ditch of this dry scorched earth, i ask myself when it will end, where is the respite? i don't see it, i no longer believe it. the seemingly never-ending struggle to get through this month and breath again is tiring. i'm tired of the news, tired of the weather, tired of my memory. i trust nothing and nobody...i'm tired of the whole box of rain.

and i could pay you back with one good hand ( Hunter-Garcia)
but what is the card player did not have to pay back his loan?
what's wrong with bidens plan to forgive student loans? i don't have all day, how about someone/anyone explaining what's right with the plan. but seriously though lets cherry pick the most egregious elements of this plan. today let's talk legality and motive.
First of all it seems to be an illegal use of powers. At best and overreach by POTUS..at worst a bribe paid to a narrow group of voters where POTUS is lacking support....says who ? well ultimately the SCOTUS will decide, but for starters both Nancy Pelosi and Biden were quoted on record in 2021 as stating the President does NOT have the power to do this.
So how and why did he? the white house is trying to piggyback on the heroes act in the aftermath of 2001 that gave the POTUS very limited power to forgive debt in time of national crisis.
what national crisis? covid.....you remember that is the same pandemic that POTUS declared victory over back on July 4th 2021. covid is such a current crisis that the Fed Govt has stopped buying vaccines...stopped trying to enforce illegal mask mandates or shutting down classrooms. Fauci is retiring and the CDC is apologizing for getting EVERYTHING wrong from the outset.
at a time where (according to the white house) our economy is booming.... unemployment is at record low and inflation is roaring so much that the Fed has been raising rates at record clips...so why are college graduates seemingly unable to find a job and pay back their legal obligation? well, they're not.
so this clearly seems to be a violation of our election rules...this is a bribe....biden has no support from 20-30 year olds and so he is giving them between $10 and $20K in the hopes that they will return the favor at the polls.
I have talked tirelessly about the socialists trying to take down our Capitalist economy and throw the country into economic and social chaos, so they can in turn impose their will on the people .... well one little nugget in this bill that nobody is talking about yet. There is a provision that caps that amount of the monthly/yearly payments on the remaining loans a student must pay.....5% of your gross income...and after 10 years the balance is forgiven. This is a clear incentive to earn little or NO money for 10 years, so you do NOT have to pay anything back...this is a message to work off the books and or continue to live in your parents' basement...it's all part of the socialist playbook
if and when this gets to SCOTUS it will be interesting to hear the Govts case.....i don't have to point out the unfairness of this policy but maybe tomorrow we'll highlight some examples.
Everybody's bragging and drinking that wine

The great Lenny Dawson has passed away at the age of 87……he was my first “Favorite “ player….I immediately gravitated to the Chiefs, and remain a loyal member of the Chief Kingdom today….thanks for the memories.
a week before Super Bowl IV the FBI leaked that Lenny was part of a gambling investigation.....sound familiar....they said his phone # was found in the possession a Detroit gambler also named Dawson but not related...........Lenny said the guy called him to offer condolences when Lenny's Dad died earlier that year.........NBC news ran with the story and Roselle had to issue a statement saying there was no reason to suspend him.........it got so bad that Nixon called his buddy Hank Stram and said tell Lenny he shouldn't be worried, the DOJ is not investigating him................Leonard went on to Matriculate the ball down the field expertly and Crush the Lief Erikson Vikings and like magic....the allegations disappeared........i wonder if this story will appear in his obits that are being wirtten across the Nation today ? he was a Great Man.....the NFL lost a true legend.
There's a woman being grabbed
They've dragged her to the bushes
And now she's being stabbed ( Phil Ochs)
do Black Lives Matter ?
no, not really....at least not to most blacks.
case in point.....last Saturday at 5:00 am a 52-year-old black man Kutin Gyimah was driving his cab in midtown. He picked up 5 black teenagers and drove them to Far Rockaway. They refused to pay their fare and instead tried to rob him, (guess he had something they wanted, money, and in today's society you just take what you want) so he chased after them, they circled him and beat him to death and left him to bleed out on the street. He was a married father of 4 young girls (8,7,5 and 3 yrs old) , he worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic to provide for his family and now in a flash he was gone...and the widowed mother of 4 ? what becomes of their family dynamic? without a loving father, a mentor and the structure of a nuclear family..what chance do these 4 girls have in a fucking slimepit that is new york city ?
the killers ? two 20 year old men....a 15 year old girl, a 13 year old girl and an unidentified young girl....i suppose that is what Gyimahs little daughters can look forward to......13 year old HO's hanging with 20 year old men at 5:00 a.m. in midtown.
one week later.....other than a press release and some hot air from mayor adams we have nothing....the Taxi & Limousine commission setup a Go Fund me page.
Where is the Black Outrage?
Where are the Marches across the bridges?
Where is Black Lives Matter handing over a check?
Where are the protests outside the homes of the Killers parents?
Where are the know it all , little jewish princesses from long island ? the ones who took the LIRR into manhattan to protest for sleepy floyd ?
nowhere to be found......makes you wonder, if a crime does not have a white male symbol of authority to blame...did it really happen at all ?
weds a savage career criminal, a sex offender on lifelong probation; sucker punched a 52-year-old stranger on the Grand Concourse, the victim is still in a coma and may not survive.
Police immediately made an arrest as they had crystal clear video of the attack and charged Van Phu Bui with attempted murder.
the Bronx DA's office lowered the charges and the attacker was released on zero bail.
The NY Post and National media went on a full court press with non stop playing of the horrific video.
Friday that filthy Kunt Kathy Hochul held a press conference and tried to take credit for the re arrest of Bui, she said ( I swear to God) that New Yorkers need to know that it was because of her personal interest in the case that this vile scumbag was incarcerated a second time....what she failed to mention was that it was also her direct involvement in bail reform that set this menace to society and thousands of others just like him free without bail in the first place. if the state of NY elects this Kunt in November then they all deserve to be sucker punched or raped on the grand Concourse.
but more importantly...it begs the question....if the video didn't exist, would anyone care?
And I'm sure
It wouldn't interest anybody
Outside of a small circle of friends
can go hang themselves
My faith is as cold as can be
I'm stacked high to the roof and I'm not without proof
If you don't believe me, come see (Dylan Hucks' tune)An’ it strangled up my mind
An’ now people just get uglierSpent a little time on the hill
Things went down we don't understand
but I think in time we will
Now I don't know but I been told
in the heat of the sun a man died of cold
Do we keep on coming or stand and wait
with the sun so dark and the hour so late? (Hunter-Garcia)
they melt into a dream (Garcia-Hunter)
a friend relayed a classic story last night....he was in Clavins yesterday making arrangements for his Mom, and as it so often does when people from 11209 are chatting...the conversation turned to Dano......the funeral director told a story about having a few libations in a Bayridge watering hole and it just so happened that Dano was doing the same....after nodding at each other from across the bar for a while the Woodman approached.....and said ....." Hey Clavin, what are you doing ? sizing me up ? ......just remember, half size should mean half price " as only Dano could...busting chops on a funeral director......your wit and wisdom are missed something fierce
And when you hear that song
come crying like the wind
it seems like all this life
was just a dream
Stella Blue
And a lots of work to be done
No place to hang out our washing
And I can't blame all on the sun, oh no (Eddy Grant)
a massive inflation bill will be headed to the POTUS desk this week....it includes a govt rebate for electric vehicles.... let's look at the economics and then the social problems with electric vehicles.a recent study showed it takes approximately 7 1/2 years to break even on an electric car...that is the $$ you save by not buying gas, verse the higher cost of the vehicle....problem is this does not factor in the cost of using electricity to charge your vehicle....spoiler alert...electricity is NOT free......so the Govt is pushing to have charging stations installed everywhere....but again they will not be giving away the electricity, they will be selling it to consumer....another very serious problem with this is our current electric grid and it's capabilities......everytime the temps hit 90, CON ED and other utilities are talking about rolling brownouts and how people should avoid running appliances in the mid day because of the high demand that Air Conditioners put on the system....(in Spain it is now against the Law to run an AC below 80degrees..talk about progress) so can you imagine adding a few hundred thousand or 5 or 6 million electric vehicles into the equation ? but let's move on.....so in make believe land , where electricity is free, it still takes 7 1/2 years to break even.....now you start to pocket all that gas $$......the lifeline of an electric vehicle battery is currently 10 years......so in 2 1/2 years it's time for a new electric vehicle....here comes the social hypocrisy part.....what becomes of the old car / battery ? landfills? these batteries can not be recycled or used again, so what do we do with 100, 200, 300 million huge dead batteries every year or so as Americans turn over to new electric vehicles? crickets from the left.now the silly part....60% of our current electricity comes from FOSSIL FUELS (20% fm Nuclear and 20% from renewables)..........so in reality, while that new electric car is zipping around NY, San Francisco or LA and not smoggin up the streets...and everyone is patting themselves on the back .....somewhere in the suburbs a huge power plant is burning coal to generate that precious electricity ......so under the one earth policy, this is a net zero benefit.....cleaner air temporarily in the cities, same expense to the planet....but just like the homeless problems....the demonrats say, out of sight out of mind.Phil Mushnick raised a good point yesterday.....with USC and UCLA now added to the BIG 10 , and annual flights to California for all of Rutgers sports teams to play conf games...where is the outrage from the student body climate police?We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
then I come 'round again
It looks as though tomorrow I'll do pretty much the same. (Hunter-Garcia)He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse
He's always on a steady course.
Talk to Mister Ed! (Livingston/evans)but ive never been wrong,

i owe my confidence in writing and my personal style to the author Jack kerouac....sure I read Hemmingway and Salinger, Hunter S and other unique voices, but in the end, it was Jack and the reading of On the Road that launched my own writing career. My never ending search for humor and inspiration in everyday life, a door or window to something else.... my desire to not set THE record straight.....but to set MY record straight///and it has been one of the joys of my life.......BUT
The single biggest influence on my life is without Question Jerry Garcia. Jerry has been with me basically every step of the way, every day, for as long as i choose to remember. The one constant in my life. I learned early on in life that were two types of Music....the Grateful Dead....and....everything else. It's an acquired tatse, that is for certain.....as Jerry himself said once when trying to explain Deadheads to an interviewer......."we're like licorice .....not everyone likes licorice, but those who do....REALLY like Licorice".
He has provided the soundtrack to my life....i can't remember a day that i have not listened to at least one song of Jerry....wherever the road takes me, the music of the Grateful Dead follows me. ..( Classic Bumper sticker from the late 70's read: Who are the Grateful Dead ? and why do they keep following me ? ) ..and so today on this drizzly Monday morning, on what would have been Jerry's 80th Birthday, i will repair to Club Gato......i will pack a cooler of Beer, i will grill steaks and listen to the Music of Jerry Garcia ALL Day and into the Night.....he has been gone an unfathomable 27 years and yet is still alive and well in this Deadheads Universe. I don't think he ever understood how many people his music influenced, but then again; maybe it was that understanding that weighed so heavily on him...who knows, who cares....today is a day of celebration....it begins what has been come to be known as the DAYS BETWEEN......his birthday of Aug 1 and his untimely departure Aug 9........for everything in between I echo the thoughts of millions......we will survive.

the demonrats love to bitch about Big Business....bitch and moan about corporate welfare and demand that private industry should pay higher taxes....then why are they passing a $250 billion spending bill to invest and encourage private companies to build microchip plants in Ohio ? surely Microsoft, Apple and all the rest can build their own plants with their grossly inflated profits ....i kind of remember that shrewd cat AOC stepping in to BLOCK Amazon building a 2nd headquarters in her district because she didn't approve of the tax breaks that Evil Eyes Andrew was giving them.....and yet lame duck kathy hochul is seizing several city blocks around Penn Station through eminent domain (literally taking buildings and destroying private business) and handing that property over to Voranado (Private Builder) so they can build 6 new office towers.....as if that weren't enough....she is taking the city's CUT of taxes from the new buildings ; money that is used to fuel NYC budget and pay Police, Fire, Sanitation etc etc, and giving that tax break to the developers. i ask these questions, but in truth we all know the answers.
let's start at the top with chips & salsa bill. well it IS an election year......and Ohio is always a swing state.....so promising to build a technology plant in a swing state can't hurt......then let's say we are doing this to compete with China (even though American Big Tech is in Bed with the CCP) that should quiet questions about Hunter/China from the likes of pea brained nora odonnell(she doesn't deserve the apostrophe) and lastly and probably most importantly......the 2020 election was signed sealed and delivered by BIG TECH, they shut down a story from a major news source ; the NY POST and Hunters' laptop, and froze their Twitter account......if ever there was a crime family in these United States it is certainly the self-loathsome leftist scum that permeates silicon valley......let's give them a big fat thank you to the tune of 250 billion.
Hochul ? Voranado was one of her big contributors, so she is giving them a sweetheart deal under the guise of fixing our transit woes.......in truth this is another nail in the coffin of NYC....i see a not-too-distant future for the isle of Manhattan, one in which the few businesses that remain are ALL located in the Hudson Yards and these 6 new towers....all the workers will live Out of State and come into the city each day and never stray further than 4 or 5 blocks from Penn.....the Police will setup a heavily guarded perimieter (maybe a wall) around the business district...and the rest of manhattan and the outer boroughs will be illegal immigrant breeding grounds and a wasteland.
AOC ? she wanted to take the 3 billion in tax breaks and repair the subways...she didn't understand that the $$ in question doesn't exist without first luring the business(AMZN) here.....what can i say , she is one dumb C*nt....but she looks good in fake handcuffs

thanks for nothing....NYC political blowhards AOC and Scmucky Schumer did not have a single press conference, tweet or press release in defense of Bodega worker Jose Alba.....they allowed their latino immigrant constituent get sent to Rikers and charged with Murder in his self defense killing of a career criminal (simple simon)....they remained silent as Go Fund Me took down a grass roots movement to raise money for his bail........thankfully the Association of Bodega workers and the local community took matters into their own hands....they raised bail and protested daily outside the DA's office, Fox news continually aired footage of the older man defending himself against a young punk, and finally yesterday...that POS alvin (nothing to bragg about) dropped the charges. In her defense...AOC was pretending to be arrested in DC yesterday.....she placed her hands behind her back "as if" she was handcuffed as she was led away from the demonstration...but this dumb (fill in the blank) couldn't resist giving a raised fist salute to her follower....thus blowing the handcuff ruse.
it's hysterical to see all these liberals worked up over crime these days....what exactly did they think the outcome of defunding/disparaging/blaming the police would be?
Mayor Bowser ( an insult to real dogs) is crying because the DC homeless shelters are overrun with illegal immigrants that have been shipped up from Texas by Gov Abbott......she says the illegals are being tricked to get onto buses bound for DC .....she may be on to something.....who the hell would willingly visit the nations' capital,,,,,but seriously; she is making Abbotts point for him......why should Texas shoulder the burden of all these illegals ....let's let the sanctuary cities take their share.
don't listen to these meterioligists.....drinking ICE COLD BEER is the only way to survive a heat wave.
Almost aflame still you don't feel the heat
Takes all you got just to stay on the beat
You say it's a living, we all gotta eat
but you're here alone there's no one to compete
Thieving in the alley
Fighting every inch of the way (Dylan)
where should we start today ? how about college football ? now that USC and UCLA are destined to join the Big 10 , i suspect we will see a return to the rankings for both....cause we know the Big Ten voters only see the world through big ten glasses.,,,,,suddenly both programs will become overated and inflated....i can honestly say when we used to gather for the Grand Daddy of them all every New Years Day, that i never suspected the Rose Bowl could ever loose it's stranglehold on the bowl season....we were lucky in the 70's to see the Likes of Ohio State and Michigan take on the powerhouse teams of USC.....the colors and pageantry of the big game was a sight to behold......just one more thing that was special and now pretty much reduced to rubble....the BCS or CFP or whatever it is these days has robbed that great game of it's best combatants........we may live to see the day the Rose Bowl is between Nebraska and Utah......under the lights of the Reebok Rosey Bowl Domed AstroTurf stadium .
Texas Tech...or should i say the Matador Club of Lubbock has signed 100 of the Red Raiders football players to NIL contracts.....each and every player on the team will be played $25,000.00 by this private club....first question, do they still get a free ride scholarship? but of course our colleges and universities, the ones that scream the loudest about equality, diversity and all that jazz....are in fact.....the most racist organizations in the nation.....each and every decision about admittance and or financial aid is based on the applicants ethnicity and the wealth of their parents.......doesn't matter if the parents are paying for the tuition.....talk about organized crime.
DOCTOR jill biden skipped surgery this week to go Martha's Vineyard and stump for donations for her husband....she spoke in past tense about how dementia Joe had such high hopes for his administration but was sidetracked by unforeseen problems.......i think it's very obvious that Joe will be stepping down or removed from office by December......President Harris will take the reins and the MSM will get in lock step and start painting a rosy picture on the evening news
that scumbag gindaloon fauci announced his quasi retirement 24 months in advance.... guess he thinks the republicans won't come after him in january if he is a lame duck.... guess again you murderous slimeball.
NYC Police are warning about serial sex attacks in manhattan being on the rise. they even release a few videos of perps following their victims and then attacking them on the streets.....BUT....i have to say...two of the most recent attacks occurred this sat/sun between 4:00 and 5:00 AM near Central park West....the victims were young attractive females walking home alone.......are you fucking kidding me ? i stopped walking home alone after 9:00 pm over thirty years ago in Bayridge.....in this day and age, what planet are these people living on ?
Trying to be tender
With somebody I remember
In a night that’s always brighter’n the day
Seen a shooting star tonight
And I thought of you
You're tryin' to break into another world
A world I never knew
I always kinda wondered
If you ever made it through
Seen a shootin' star tonight
And I thought of you ( dylan)
tough stretch for the families and friends of the World Trade Center Victims. although the Saudi govt was never officially charged in the attacks, 15 of the19 hijackers were from saudi Arabia and the mastermind behind the plot was Bin Laden...a saudi prince in exile that was still being funded by that govt. Most people feel that Saudi Arabia was complicit, if not 100% responsible, in the attack.
First came the LIV golf tourney, where many of the games best players took millions from saudi arabia to play in their tournaments, and even Donald Trump offered up his Bedminster course for the saudis.
Then on Friday night Fox Sports was showing an ariel view of the Freedom Tower and the 9/11 memorial and inexplicably placed Yankee and Red Sox graphics over the footprints/fountains.....they immediately apologized BUT.....whoever made the decision in the first place sb exposed and fired....in my opinion.
lastly , our commander in Chief made a visit to Saudi Arabia to beg for oil.....as sad as that was, it got worse.....the President of the United States exchanged a fist Bump with the crown Prince....just two old pals saying hello.....long forgotten was bidens quotes from last year that he would make the saudis pay for killing Koshoggi.......and more recent amnesia when the saudis refused to take a call from POTUS at the beginning of the war in ukraine........yep, all is forgotten.
Kudos to Steve Mac for sending an incredible video of Dano dancing to the music at Citifield during Dead & Company a few years back......i was stopped stone cold in my tracks.....it reminded me of just how much i miss that guy....our world is a lot emptier without him.
well......some of us still remember
And the world puts on a new face
Certain things rearrange
And this ol' world seems like a new place ( Smokey Robinson)
"Read the polls Jack, 92% said they'd vote for me"
that was an angry old white man reacting to a question about a poll that says 2/3rds of registered demonrats do NOT want dementia Joe to run again.......his defense was to site the other poll that did say 92% of them would vote for Joe if he was their candidate........well ...that's apples and oranges.....obviously demons will vote for whomever their candidate is.......but the original poll shows that 66% of them don't want Joe..........I too will vote for whomever the Republican nominee is, but that doesn't mean my choice will emerge as the party nominee.
" a 10 year old Ohio girl was raped and had to go to Indiana for an abortion" that too was sleepy Joe last week.......he was outraged......he was filled with anger and empathy for that girl and all women.......2 problems.....not true....the Ohio Attorney Gen quickly pointed out that Ohio has a provision to allow abortions in cases of rape.......but here is the real reason you won't hear about this little girl ever again.
she was raped by an ILLEGAL ALIEN....Gerson Fuentes was in this country illegally and he raped a 10 year old child........the left thought this story would be the poster child for the summer and run up to November...but it turns out , instead of highlighting the abortion issue, it reminds the public about the crisis at the border that the MSM is ignoring........the liberal doctor who shared this personal information about the abortion to the media shuld be facing charges for violating HIPPA....but hell....the spoonjiah queen that stabbed Jose Alba in the bodega (before he put simple simon to rest) hasn't faced any charges........and the charges against Alba STILL have not been dropped.
Go Fund Me, Go Fuck Yourself.
These miserable fucks took down a Go Fund Me account that was setup to raise bail for Mr Alba....not the first time these liberal pricks have done this.....they also shut down a campaign to raise money and support the Canadian Truckers.........but any sambo that wants to raise money for hot sauce or to buy new hubcaps is OK........anyone who wants to raise money to help people get abortions ? ok .....anyone who wants to raise money to fund BLM and anti-police protest ? OK.....riase $ for Kyle Rittenhouse defense attorney's ? NOT OK.......go fuck yerself go fund me.
i'm a little excited today.....maybe it's the early morning heat.....maybe it's because the doctor imposter jill biden called my Mexican friends Breakfast Tacos , who knows.....maybe i just need to smoke crack in a pool and film it like Hunter.
What's this ol' world comin' to?
Things just ain't the same
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game
Oh, yeah
