Eating Their Own

-

It’s hard to even imagine what the GOP is doing.

Matt Gaetz and Kevin McCarthy are at war in the House, and they are torpedoing a bill that they proposed!

They’re going to shut down the government over the military spending bill that they authored!

And Gaetz and the fringe crazies are saying that McCarthy has to go if he doesn’t completely agree with every single of their demands.

All of that sound crazy?

I’ll break it down further…

…members of the party are holding other members of THEIR party hostage!

And the entire reason for the whole eating of their own is that they’re all putting the eggs in the basket of the man who has lost them every election since 2016.

All of it is amazing to me, and it can’t be because Putin Jr. is a great guy who everyone loves.

It appears that they all loathe him.

It also appears that they can’t believe that he did an amazing job when he sat in the seat…

…because he didn’t.

There’s zero evidence of him having done anything right at all. (Other than the massive tax cut for the wealthy).

The economy (no matter how much he crows about it) wasn’t the greatest economy ever before Covid hit.

And Covid was completely mishandled.

And it was absolute chaos every single day.

So, what is the point?

Why are they eating their own?

I imagine that’s the billion dollar question.

What does the former guy hold over the entire GOP?

I have a theory - that I’ve had since about 2015 - but it’s not all that important because they aren’t caving at all.

They’re going to shut the government down.

They’re going to oust McCarthy and they’re going to eat their own and destroy their own legislation.

And they’re holding the entire country hostage.

It’s going to blow up…

…all there’s left to wonder is how big a mess there will be.

And for HIM?

It will never be anything but insane.

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,”
