What is happening in the House of Representatives only draws comments of clown show and idiots. Looks like no Speaker until next week. Bipartisan solution? On top of all that, former speaker Kevin McCarthy publicly blamed President Joe Biden's climate policy for catalyzing the Hamas attack. Huh??? Read this.
The
Arab World is of course supporting pro-Palestinian protests, such as the one in Baghdad, Iran to the right. Of course
Europe had some of this, and police in Paris used teargas and water cannons to break up the banned rally. However, there was also a sizable, but peaceful, gathering around Times Square in New York City.
Only in America.
Israel is in a pickle. They almost surely will expand their ground incursion into the Gaza Strip, but, as
The Atlantic reported, Israel is
Walking into a Trap.
- You can't root out a terrorist group that runs the country.
- Israel has warned the populace of the northern part of the Gaza Strip to move away, but where do they go? Egypt won't admit them, and neither does Israel. Food, water, power and more have been cut off.
- All this humanitarian mess will cause an international backlash.
- Then Hezbollah to the north, with 150,000 more dangerous rockets is awaiting some signal to attack.
- There would be no formidable Hamas, nor Hezbollah, if not for Iranian money. Sure, Iran is wisely appearing to keep hands off, but they are orchestrating everything. And there is very little the USA can do.
#23 Michael Jordan might well have been the greatest basketball player in the world. We now have a
new greatest pumpkin, all of 2,749 pounds, which has a name, Michael Jordan. The previous heaviest was one grown in Italy, mentioned in one of my
postings last month.
The 50th World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off was held in Half Moon Bay, California. To the left are the four finalists, mostly from wine country, Napa and Sonoma. The winning pumpkin came all the way from Minnesota.
The Great Pumpkin was introduced in 1959 by Charles Schulz in Peanuts, and appeared annually in October. Appeared first in a 1966 TV program, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, which became the #1 program that week in the Nielsen TV ratings.
Snoopy is dressed as a flying ace from World War I, where his doghouse is imagined as a Sopwith Camel fighter plane, and he is engaged in a dogfight with an unseen Red Baron. Linus waits most of the night in the pumpkin patch, but the Great Pumpkin doesn't appear. He proclaims that GP will surely come next year, and this became an annual TV event. Apple TV+ purchased rights, and the final program occurred last year. Will there be a continuation this year?
Here is a
heartwarming pumpkin story. Inmates at the Daviess County Detention Center in Kentucky for the past decade have grown their own pumpkins to donate to the community. 1500 this year. In particular, they paint the pumpkins and pass them on to the Hermitage Care and Rehabilitation Center. Up to 80% of this nursing home residents never have a visitor.
From the Pacific Northwest through the Southwest, tomorrow, or Saturday, beginning at 9:13 AM Pacific Daylight Time, there will be an annular solar eclipse, which means the moon doesn't quite cover the sun. Why? Happens because the moon is furthest away from Planet Earth. A partial eclipse should be visible from 8 AM in Eugene, Oregon, moving into Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and southwest Texas. Other states could see a crescent shape. The eclipse continue through Guatemala, Columbia, Belizde, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Brazil and northwest Mexico. This will be the final "ring of fire" solar eclipse visible in the U.S. until 2039...but only in Alaska.
This is useless sports news for all of you, but for the first time since 2017, Gonzaga isn't the West Coast Conference men's basketball preseason favorite. It is Saint Mary's. So what? Well, remember the Lahaina wildfire? St. Mary's is playing Hawaii next Friday, October 20, in a charity exhibition game at the Manoa Campus Stan Sheriff Center.
And yes, Taylor Swift did attend the Broncos at Chiefs Game last night. Here, a photo of her with Travis Kelce's Mom.
This will not be a
Barbenheimer weekend, but her
The Eras Tour film, which is 2 hours and 48 minutes long, and given a
Rotten Tomatoes 100% rating by both reviewers and the audience, will break records. In a way, it's a shame that
The Exorcist: Believer, which also opens, with Leslie Odom Jr. and Ellen Burstyn, got 22/59 ratings from
Rotten Tomatoes. Yes, a smashing
Swift Believer weekend might have even drawn me to a theater.
