Although I've now been retired for 26 years, I still enjoy Saturday the most.  Don't know why, but it still feels like a day off.  Every day these days are a day off, so it shouldn't matter, but. Not only am I retired, but I live in a senior's community, where, for an entrance fee and monthly charge, there is nothing for me to do, for we are served three meals/day, apartment weekly cleaned with bed linen changed and new towels, have guards and a lot of cameras to protect us, numerous activities to keep us occupied, or not, for I tend to mostly avoid them, and lifetime security, for they have promised to take care of me until I die.  Of course, they won't let you in unless your finances are such that they are secure. You would think I am joking, but after returning from our recent trip, where one portion was a long Oceania cruise from Yokohama to Vancouver, I came to a conclusion that the best place to eat was at 15 Craigside.  Oceania is known for its fine cuisine, ...

Yesterday I underscored that something was wrong with America. If you read it, sure we have declined here and there.  However, the country, relative to the rest of the world, is actually doing quite well.  My overriding apprehension, actually, had to do with the sanity and morality of the voters. The Supreme Court's support for Donald Trump has another Biden casualty.  In Florida,  Judge Aileen Cannon totally dismissed the classified documents case against Trump . At the Republican National Convention which began in Milwaukee today, Trump indicated that J.D. Vance was his veep running mate.   I predicted this last week .  Trump will give his big speech Thursday night after he is selected as the Republican candidate for the presidency.  If he can stay alive, he is now a close lock to become our 47th President of the United States (PUS). This assassination attempt totally scuttled Biden's strategy against Trump.  Now Joe cannot say much about T...

Judge Moxila Upadhyaya yesterday warned Donald Trump : “It is a crime to try to influence a juror or to threaten or attempt to bribe a witness or any other person who may have information about your case, or to retaliate against anyone for providing information about your case to the prosecution, or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice. Do you understand these warnings and consequences, sir?”   "Yes," Trump replied. So what does Trump do? Jack Smith's prosecutors retaliated by seeking a  protective order against Trump .  U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan gave Trump until 5PM to respond.  How dumb can be get?  He can theoretically be held in jail just for this.  Of course he won't be, but could. The U.S. Women National Team made the Round of 16 in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, but is no longer the favorite to win the whole thing.  Next, Sweden.   U.S. should win , as they are given -175 odds to make it to the next round,...
