Just when you thougt it was safe to vote in a primary, or CAN anyone on F'ing Facebook FACT-Check before they post Un Truths

all right lets get right to it,

- Trump is horrible - I firmly believe that is he is elected President, it will mean a major shift in this country. I think he will alienate our allies, and piss off our Friends to the point no one will support us in anything. this stupid fucking wall that Mexico is gong to build is simply ludicrous, and the story in today CNN about a tunnel under the US / Mexico Border shows how GD stupid it is,,

1st off  - this country with all our problems and all our issues,,, is GREAT - we don't need Donald Trump to make it great - like he even could. and I am to the point that I can't understand how people even support this Jerk.  When the 2nd amendment gun swallowers  hear any thing about taking away or limiting their guns they are all - yea come take it, and Over my dead body ,,, its the Law that we can have guns,  some f ing how they forget that when the candidate for Prez says that women who get abortions should be punished,  ummm  what happened to Roe v, Wade,, did that get over turned ,, is that not the law???  good for the goose not good for the gander - I think they just have there head so far up their assess they cant see out anymore,,  and He tweets a photo of his opponent wife and says "he started it" !!  Ya presidential.

How can i keep from,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, singing??

Nah,,, that ain't it,, I could never sing,,, Maybe I would have been better off if I could have ,,, maybe not.


IF only  ,,,,,,,,,,, Then ,,

What exactly can I do ? hummm,,,   that might take some thinking ,,  Not smart enough to get a degree in ANYTHING,, barely  got out of HighSchool . Not athletic enough to be a Jock,, played a little baseball,, but hey - not that good at that , although I could hit..  some...   Was runner for while,,, and Quite frankly ,, wish I wasn't  - if I knew that as a drove past or revisited places where I ran races , I owuld be tormented by my recent battle with weight gain,,  I'd give back every race, every marathon medal , to not have those thoughts. I don't have a "career",,,, I got a job managing cause it paid more,,, back in the day maybe I was a good manager,,,  but truth be told - Just so-so today.  I  do bit of DIY around the house,,,  and more often then not end up making a mistake there that costs me time and labor and Materials in some cases  - because of lack of forethought  and average talent.   Odd to be at this spot in life and not be really good at one thing.  As they say "Jack of Many trades - Master of none". Husband ,, Father,,, doubt if I am much more than a Journeyman at those things either,, but , as they say ,,, its a Cruel world out there and TODAY - we are going out there - again ,

The presidential race just more interesting with Sanders and Cruz winning Wisconsin,  Clinton and Trump focus on the NY primary in about 2 weeks. I still don't see how Bernie overtakes Hillary - as I think she will have enough delegates to get the NOD in the 1st ballot at the convention, and I think to opposite is true from the republicans,,, I don;t see how the Trump gets enough delegates to win on the 1st ballot, there-by throwing that convention open to the likes of who knows who,,,   and I am not the 1st tho think that if Trump does not get the nomination, he WILL run as an Independant.  and that might mean the end of the Republican party for this election,,, and who knows maybe splinters that Party forever.

Baseball season started ,, we have tickets to 12 games as part of a joint Season ticket group,,, we will see how that works out.  I tried to take more games at the beginning of the year, so that when the Yanks are out of it in the 2nd half - I won't feel bad about not going tot he games I paid for,,, Yamks lost the home opener, Betances gave up the winning runs in the 7th,, 8th ? and I had to hear John Sterling do one of his famous "if only ,,,, then " statements,,,,   if only Betances did not give up that 2 run single,, then it would be a tie game,,, yup - IF only ..... then,,,

So back to the 1st paragraph,,,, maybe thats my mantra -- "IF only ,,,,,,,,,,,,Then ..."

Where are they now ??

so the latest in the Political arena is that the TRUMP has made a statement that is really interesting from several angles.

1) that he would answer a hypothetical question - what if ,,  almost no one will get drawn into that trap

2) to make a statement so outlandish that you have to know is gonna create a shitstorm,  To punish a women for having an abortion,,, what has to be emotional enough -regardless of the circumstance,  but to suggest - what ?? Jail time ??  Seriously,,,, and the Dr, / health care person that performed the procedure ??  and in case you forgot your biology - there was another person involved in the pregnancy,,, like  oh yea the father ! No "punishment " for him ?? Just the women,

3) If the statement TRUMP made was ok,, why then did it need not one,, but 2 retractions with in  like 2 hours

and what is more interesting is the reaction from the pro - Trump people.  WHERE ARE THEY NOW ??

When he said we are gonna build a wall to Keep Mexicans OUT ,, and then he said BAN all  Syrians  - oh yea except for his rich friends , they are ok to come over,,, for get the law if you have money ,,, and the attack on Meagen Kelly,,  ALL that was defendable,, And he Tweets a picture of Ted Cruz's wife, and defends that  as "Hey - HE STARTED IT" (I loved Anderson Cooper telling him that was the reaction of a Five year old,, NOT a person running for President )   , but I don;t see any FB posts, or Tweets about this  ???  What the matter your boy not so defendable now,,,   You might need to look at your Girlfriend  / Wife / Daughter,,, and try to defend this asshole ,,, and can't do it,,..


And I can't wait till he gets on the same stage as Ms Clinton (Madam President ) she will tear him a new one,,, actually - I think he will do it to himself,,, I guarantee her stratigists  are planning on attacking him on something that will get his blood to boil ,, just to see what he says ,,, and when he calls her the B word or the C word ,,, that will end the Race for president.

But even before that - Maybe we get this "open" convention that they are discussing,, and we see some fireworks there,,,,

Topic #2 - LAST WEEK TONIGHT - and John Oliver

Rapidly becoming my favorite TV show, he is absolutely great,,,  Very funny. and VERY topical,, he takes on many of todays issues. He backs up his statements with FACTS, and Actually has something to contribute to the conversation , as they say,,,  When HBO 1st ran promos for the show,, I thought no way,,,  but now I am a huge fan,,, IF you dont watch you should,,,, check out the Stories on Televengilists, and his story on the TRUMP

AND what is great ,, is that YOU TUBE has them !!!




And if you think Televangelists

Lets Talk about something else

I am remonded recently about the start of another baseball season,,, and I have to relate a few  items before we get to the actula discussion of the Yankees team and a realist view of their chances of a 28th World championship.,

so we have the technology (Iphone 6)  today to deliver subject specific content (Yankee news )  to an end user (me) , SO I have these alerts turned on so I can keep up with any news from Tampa and Yankee spring training.  So I get absolutley breaking news - 1st alert is about Cc sabathia and that he feels better after completing his rehab from alcohol addiction - really - what has he been drinking ??  he feel better now >??   you think a guy making that kinda money could afford Top shelf Liquor !!
2nd story (and I am not making this up - is about a groundskeeper captuirng  a Racoon at Steinbrenner Field,,, If I'm Lyin ,,I'm Dyin  see below,,,

"TAMPA - While the Yankees players were tucked away safely inside their clubhouse for a union meeting Sunday morning, Steinbrenner Field stadium personnel spent about 20 minutes trying to catch a raccoon that had camped out on the net behind the plate."


The uninvited raccoon doesn't go away quietly from Steinbrenner Field.

Ok,, then some real news,,    the Yanks newest pitcher is suspended for 30 games for violating the Leagues domestic violence policy ,,,, hummm  how about the LAW ,, might hey wanna talk to him also,,,,  he can either pend the 30 days Stone Drunk - or maybe open a business capturing Wild animals,,,

then Finally - the Stenbrenners say that the  team is not for sale..  Damn it ! I was thinking of Buying a  team , and now the yanks are off the market ,,  I gotta look elsewhere ,,, perhaps the RedSox,,, they suck - they should be cheap enough !! 

Can we get to some real news,,, like is Teixeira healthy ??   If and When he gets hurt who is the back up ??  Some guy named CASTRO is playing 2nd base ?? He hits better than DD but that's National League Stats,,,

OK,,

Somebody wake me up

this is a dream  - right,,, we can't be seriously thinking of electing Donald Trump president. !!

 the man is a Narcissist,,,  if it ain't about him ,, it ain't !  he does not want to serve the county  - the only person or thing Mr Trump is interested is serving is himself. He is a Bigot, read the record,, he has insulted the entire Muslim community ,, and essentially every Mexican/ Hispanic in North America. He make fun of people disabilities, mimicking a reporter that has a disease that has his arm move in a strange way... and then insults a paraplegic reporter - saying something about not needing or knowing how to buy pants. He insults John McCain,,, sayin he is not a war hero because he got caught and was a POW , and was tortured,,, that's not a hero >?  he said he likes solders that did not get caught better. He has consistently insulted women, from reporters, to his opponents, saying "Look at her face" .. just go check the record...   He refused to rent to minorities, mainly blacks,,, ok he settled that suit without any pledge of guilt,,, but paid lots of money to get out of it,,,

We are going to build a wall to keep Mexicans out
We are going to stop all Muslims from coming to this country
We  call people that don't agree with us Stupid and Clowns, 
We insult Women, and Persons with Disabilities,,

and we want to call our self  "President"  ??

You think I am making this up ??? Google "Trump Women" or  "Trump insults" or Trump anything,,,, and watch the videos ,, and listen to him talk,,, and ask yourself - this is our President,,,,


I think if he does not get the nod for Republican candidate , he will run as an independent, essentially splitting the Vote and giving the election to the Democrats.
I think he will say something in one of these debates, that is so vile that even the GOP will run for cover,,,  and
 I don't think he can beat Hillary in the General election,,,

I knew Dick Nixon and you are no F'ing Dick Nixon

Have you been watching the Political process in Iowa and New Hampshire ?  and are your fucking kidding me,,,

Can you see any of the Circus Clowns that the Republicans have falling out of the Clown car and showing up at the Debates ??   I can't ,,, I guess I simply DO NOT believe in the things that the Republicans believes in,, and Seriously that Rubio guy,,, bit Christi nailed him ,,,,   I think Rubio did give that same old canned speech and Christi called him on it,,,,

and there are just too many of the them to have an effective debate,,, they need to pair this down to 3 or 4 ,,, and I am glad to see that Qualudes are still in vogue cause  Ben Carlson musta taken a hand full - and although he says he wants to run against Hillary , I do not think Trump would do that well against her,,, she is tougher than he is,,, and I think she would kick his ass,,,

I still like Hillary,, but that Bernie guy is really growing on me,,,,    so we will see,,,,,

In case you was wondering - Disney was great - as usual,,,, funny to say ,, I really love that place,,,,  my wife asked this time,,,,   "so how did a trip nearly 40 years ago - turn into an obsession  ??"  We are headed back in December with the whole Family - that will be another great trip with our older Grandson , really understanding more and the younger one just being aware of whats going on,,,,

shhhhhhhh   - I will be back in some shape by then,,, I cant stand it like this anymore,,,

I am pissed at these artists that think they are so stinking Star Spangled great that they wont let music services like Spotify play their music,,,,  really  - Garth Brooks is worth like half a Billion dollars and he is all high and mighty about this - jesus ,, give me a break,,,

What else is happening ?? Snow city to the South of us,, Westchester and LI are getting it this year,,, we have zip,, although spose to be some Monday and Tuesday,,,,


I am more and more drawn to the DYI projects that I am doing,,, makes my day job harder to do ,,, While I am not sure that I could do it for a living - there is physical aspect that I my knees back and hands may not be able to handle,,, ,  am sure that I could supplement my retirement with that kind of work,,, and without sounding vain,, I am good enough at it that people would pay me to do it,, so right now,, I am taking what they givin cause I m working for alivin,, but not sure for how much longer...........  speaking of it 4am,, and I gotta get going to work !!     Give me a call if you are of a mind too,,,  actually how would you know my number !!  hahahah,,,,  Later Dudes and dudettes
