Banana Republic

-

John Bolton was indicted today for how he handled classified information.

I almost fell out of my chair when I read that.

Do you recall the photo of the bathroom where boxes of classified information were stored at Mar-A-Lardo?

James Comey was indicted, but the lawyer who signed the indictment isn’t qualified to do so.

In NYC, Letitia James was indicted and accused of fraud because she purchased a home for a relative. She does not live in the home, but it is being alleged that she lied about her primary residence.

Know what they all have it common?

They all spoke out about the dumbest orange guy you know.

Arresting opponents because they speak out against the crimes he’s committing?

That’s banana republic leadership right there.

And again, it’s something I never thought I’d see.

We are supposed to have three distinct branches of government so that there are checks and balances.

The DOJ is now working directly for the most vile human that’s ever stepped foot in this country, and no one appears to care.

Troops in the streets.

The DOJ corrupt.

The Supreme Court compromised.

The vice president making false, nasty comments about any American that isn’t Republican.

Every damn day we give up more rights, and are forced to sift through lies.

“Prices are going down. Inflation is gone,” was a statement that King Liar the first said.

He should check the price of ground beef.

A sandwich and a drink at a fast food restaurant will now cost you $15.

I had breakfast with a friend the other day.

We had eggs, toast and corned beef hash, and coffee.

The bill was $50.

And tomorrow, Americans will march to stand up and be heard.

Hope they don’t arrest everyone, but it might happen.

There’s Still Greatness

The other night I got home from work and Kathy and Sam were engaged in a game of backgammon. Sam had never played and wanted to learn. He got some late doubles and won his debut game. (I helped a little). And I thought of my buddy, Gag. We were roommates at Gannon back in 1983. We played at least 25 games of backgammon a night. By the end of the year he wound up beating me by just a couple of games out of a few thousand. That’s 60-year-old Gag in the photo - running the Disney marathon with his son, MJ - they do it every year. To raise money for Duchenne MD research. “He’s running again?” Kathy asked me as we talked about the donation.  “Of course.” “Italian men, man,” Kathy said. “You’re a stubborn, loyal lot.” “I ain’t running no marathons,” I said. “Gag is a maniac.” I enjoy following the posts as the run progresses - on Saturday morning I was fighting a cold or some such crap… …and they were running in the rain in Florida. There is a lot of negative energy in the news we see br...

Heart Heavy

A couple of things happened over the weekend. First off, I couldn't take sitting around not being a part of the world. I decided to forego a portion of my rest my sore tendon. I got up off the couch and headed to work. I just couldn't take what I was seeing on the news and feeling in my heavy heart. Just too much. I headed for the convenience store and my daily chat with a real nice lady who collects my money for the papers. I pointed to the headline about the president's speech on Sunday night. She started crying. I thought of my wife crying as Obama read off the names of the children. I thought of the Bruce song: This is a prayer for the souls of the departed, those who've gone and left their parents broken-hearted. Their lives over before they got started. This is a prayer for the souls of the departed. My boy was still waiting in the driveway for his bus to come. I wanted to grab him and hug him, but he's 15. He might have kneed me in a bad spot...

A Grand Time

“Are You An Idiot?” was sort of a pop song in a career filled with more ambitious books, but it did something that none of the others did. It won the whole damn thing. We walked into the festival in the famous Academy room at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood (they film the Jimmy Kimmel Show next door) and Bruce Haring the event organizer greeted me with the news that I would speak last because “Are You An Idiot?” was the Grand Festival Award Winner. There were 9 festivals across the country that all had winners, including the Hollywood Beach Festival which “Are You An Idiot?” won. It was also chosen as the winner of all 9 festivals. Grand. I made a quick speech - it’s on my Author’s Facebook Page and then we called it a night. We have the Hollywood tour package in the morning and we are kicking around going to the Hollywood Bowl for ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ or the Santa Monica Pier. An awards show is a long night, and we heard from about 40 winners. A couple of the authors cried as the...
