Nothing Is Gonna’ Happen

-
So, after yesterday’s blog about the end of the Trump presidency I received a SNL skit about it from a beloved member of my family.

It’s a great skit with Woody Harrelson and a couple of the SNL actors.

“Nothing is gonna’ happen,” is the punch line...

...and it scared me.

As I read the news that William Barr is touring the world trying to find “evidence” to discredit United States intelligence that implicated Trump.

Read that sentence again.

The head of the Department of Justice of the United States is going to other countries to dig up dirt on the FBI and CIA in defense of a crazed man who thinks he’s king.

When I read that on Monday night, I felt bile rising because for the only time in my life I became aware that:

WE ARE NO LONGER BEHOLDEN TO THE CONSTITUTION!!!

I don’t want to write about this anymore.

I don’t want to read any more of this!

A new book is being published about the border war.

He asked if they could shoot the migrants in the legs to slow them down!

Pompeo sent out a tweet that they weren’t going to cooperate with the House impeachment inquiry.

Now there will be subpoenas that may also be ignored.

Then there’s crazy Rudy

“I’m Trump’s lawyer! I was just looking out for my client.”

Two questions later:

“The state department knew! Of course they did! I was saving the country. I should win an award!”

And the lies.

My God how there are lies. They go on every show because the media wants it to be a game!

“The whistleblower was all hearsay!!”

(Except it was backed up by the actual transcript released by the White House).

Then there’s Joe Biden and the billion dollars he promised the Ukraine because he needed to fire the prosecutor who was investigating his son because kids shouldn’t be in business with a politician.

That’s all false!!

But now people are saying, “what’s up with Biden and the Ukraine?”

It’s the same misinformation that is repeated day after day.

“Obama sent a pallet of cash to Iran.

(It was their money from the 1978 hostage crisis and it wasn’t delivered on a pallet).

“Clinton is running a pedophile ring from the basement of a pizza parlor!”

The place in question didn’t even HAVE a basement!

And America is asleep at the wheel!!

How did Hitler pull it off???

I’ll never ask that question again.

The best part of the SNL skit was when the character saying:

“It’s never gonna’ happen.” (In terms of Trump being carried out of the White House).

Said:

“Yeah, it’ll work because Americans LOVE to read.”

People!

We have to read!!

We have to stand up!!!

The DOJ is collaborating with Russia to discredit United States Intelligence!

This is not a drill.

It’s gotta’ happen!

Now.

Suits

-
Like a lot of other people we got pulled into the series, ‘Suits’ on Netflix. I’ve never had much fun hanging around lawyers who have questioned me as a construction safety officer. I once testified in a case where the opposing lawyer started questioning me by going through my educational background. “So,” he said, racing to a crescendo, “You graduated from college with a degree in Communications-Journalism and suddenly, 30 years later, you’re a ‘safety expert.’” He actually made the quotation marks with his fingers. I just looked at him. “How does that happen?” He bellowed, sure that he was going to discredit me. “Well,” I said. “I knew I was overqualified to become a lawyer.” The courtroom erupted in laughter. Even the judge chuckled. The rest of his questions landed flat. So, I wasn’t all that keen on a show about lawyers, but ‘Suits’ is great. Meghan Markle became a princess because of the show, and she is very good in it (and a beautiful woman). Yet, there is so much more. The wri

My Buddy, Dave

-
Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I bet you tha

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C’mon, Oliver,”
