CNN Is Cooked

-

The New Hampshire Town Hall was a bad idea that turned out much worse than imagined.

There was zero chance that I would watch it in real time, but I wondered if Katelyn Collins would push back on the lies.

She tried.

But he lied right over her attempt to beat him over the head with facts.

And it’s like watching a punch-weary fighter. Eventually, she was bound to get buried under the avalanche of lies because they simply keep on coming, and normal people just want to move on.

Yet, what truly doomed CNN here is that he should’ve never been invited on.

He was behind the insurrection and while he hasn’t yet been held to account there are a lot of his followers in prison because of what happened that sad day.

He should’ve been disqualified because of that.

Yet, there was also the fraud case.

His company was found guilty of all sorts of fraud.

That should stop people from believing his lies. It’s all fraud.

Instead, he raised money off of it, and still received the CNN invitation.

Did anyone at CNN consider doing the right thing for the country?

Yet, there was one more question raised by a court ruling this week.

He was found liable in a civil case that centered on sexual abuse and defamation.

The jury found his actions despicable.

The people in the town hall audience clapped for him  and laughed along with his rage-filled, lies and rants as he made light of rape and told lies about abortion.

I watched 3 or 4 clips.

Shut it off.

Disgusted.

Not by him…

…he’s evil…

…but so are those who are propping him up in the chase for revenue.

He will be the nominee of that party.

Disgusting.

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,”
