QUICK HITTERS…

Does it bother you that Elon Musk–who has access to military secrets through his government contracts–has an on-going relationship with Putin? We know the Trump-Putin connection and that’s scary enough…but Musk has no guard rails and can freely communicate any info he chooses with no oversight. Did the Trump voters think about that possibility? So-called “Make America Great Again” patriots voted to support our Russian ties. Did they think that buddying up to Putin would “make America great again?

Recently President Biden laid a wreath at Arlington cemetery on Veteran’s Day. Can you see Trump–who called the military dead and wounded “suckers and losers”– doing the same? Where were all the vets on November 5th? Did it not occur to them that Veteran’s Day might be re-named “suckers and losers day”? This is a man who can’t understand anyone doing anything for anybody other than himself. And that’s the mentality that will influence his term. Be prepared.

Earlier this month, Jack Teixeira, a young Marine, was convicted of sharing confidential info on a social media platform. He was sentenced to 17 years in prison. Trump, while a private citizen, retained 300 boxes of classified docs and repeatedly hid them from the FBI. We have proof of that situation. We don’t know why he took those docs, what he may have done to compromise our national security (and that of our allies) but we know he held onto them for several months in unsecured and heavily trafficked areas of Mar-A-Lago. Recently that case was dismissed. NO MAN IS ABOVE THE LAW–unless his name is spelled T-R-U-M-P. The further America removes itself from integrity the closer we get to chaos and dictatorship.

Now that the flu season is upon us it becomes critical that every person get vaccinated. Forget RFK Jr. and his stupid rant that vaccines cause autism. ALL medical science knows that is false. BTW, RFK Jr. has NO medical or scientific training, education or experience–he’s just another Trump toady. In November, 1922–right after the “Spanish flu” threatened to end our civilization the US Supreme Court confirmed that all children MUST BE VACCINATED BEFORE THEY WILL BE ALLOWED TO ENTER SCHOOL. And in 2025 we’ll have a nutjob who–without any proof–will lobby against ALL VACCINATIONS. Vaccines are the number one preventive measure on the planet and we still have non-believers. That should concern you. Read the next bullet for a one-time non-believer story.

Your blog editor plays at golf. About 8 years ago, a golfer in my golf league came out as a non-believer in flu vaccinations. He was pleasant but adamant that he would never get vaccinated. Shortly thereafter he dropped out of the league for a couple of years. Three years ago he re-joined the league and your blog editor played in the same foursome. When asked why he didn’t play for several years he recounted a startling experience. In 2018 he contracted the seasonal flu and the virus settled in the arterial leads into and out of his heart. His heart was OK but the blood flow was dwindling. Because a heart transplant was useless doctors placed a mechanical pump in his chest to replace the heart. This pump had “feeders” in and out of his heart that were somehow attached to his vascular system. He had no pulse and no blood pressure. He wore a battery pack on his belt. He explained that the battery pack had an alarm when battery power was failing so he could amp up. He told other players that he would be happy to die if he could just make a hole-in-one. In June, 2023 he scored his only ace…and 7 days later he passed on. This is a totally true story. There is a bench on the 13th tee at the Kenton County Golf Course in Independence, Kentucky with his name on it. Don’t be a fool. Get vaccinated!!

There’s an old saying “he who lies down with dogs will get up with fleas”. Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, has accepted $2 billion from Saudi Arabia. This is the same country that was the origin of the September 11, 2001 New York Trade Towers disaster and they also were convincingly accused of killing an American journalist. Now Trump-Kushner are beholding to the Arabs for a huge amount of money. What do the Arabs expect in return? Stay tuned.

DODGERS WIN!!!! As we predicted the LA Dodgers won the Baseball World Championship. And they are predicted to win next year as well–if we listen to Las Vegas bookies. Now their bankroll is about to land Juan Soto who may be the first billion dollar player in history. We guess the Yankees can’t pay him as much as the Dodgers. You may recall that Fox has a multiple year broadcast contract with the Dodgers for $15 billion. We mention this because of the continuing separation in Major League Baseball between the “haves” and the “have-nots”. If allowed to continue the best players at every position will migrate to the team with the highest contract offer and the rest of the divisions will get whatever is left. The MLB Commissioner has no guts and refuses to see the potential for disaster. When you think about it–this is a reflection of American society.
