EXCUSE MED? WHAT WAS THAT?

First, let me tell you - I have just gotten on a bp med - and my eyes are pretty screwed up today, so tis is basically being typed by touch ....

So - if I goof up, please forgive me .... but on the bright side, my bp is down into the 150s so .... cool, right?

As some of you may know, I love history .... and I love watching documentaries .... such as American Experience on PBS .... well, I've been watching the one they have on JFK ....

They labeled it as the 50th anniversar of his assassination, but its really part 2 of the regular JFK one they have.

But the ting that struvk me ... the reason for this post actually .... is that JFK and Trump have a log in common ....

both were rich

both loved the ladies, and their wives put up with it.

and - and this part shocked me - JFK was a ORANGE MAN TOO!!!

When JFK is getting off the plane in TX, a reporter made a remark of "I can see his tan from here!"

Yeah - youYyou know haw badly Trup would have been grilled over something like this???

I hae a feeling I goofed up that bit completely - I don't think I untypd things correctly .... hmm

Oh wll - that's all I wanted to say.

Just remember - JFK and DJT are quite similar.

SAVING MONEY AT WALMART FOR SENSIORS .... whether you feel like one or not

 sigh - yeah, this is me .... my dr. wants to put me on high bp meds, but I'd rather not, thank you .... hubby's been on them for about 10 years, but I don't feel that old yet ... until I try to climb stairs and my knees start to kill me.

So, I'm kicking it around for a bit .... 

meanshile - I came across this article on saving money at Walmart.

It's too hot for me to read right now (it's in the 90s at the lake this week - YUK) so I don't want to lose it, so this is where I tend to link things.

So here's the link if you like to go check it out for yourself

HEADS UP COSTCO MEMBERS!!!!

 I am not a member - I like Sam's Club better, myself - but my oldest daugter and son are both members .... so I thought I pass this onto you ....

ITEMS ARE BEING DISCONTINUED .... and we are not talking about summer items, we are tlking bout FOOD items.

Found this video on YouTube, so I thought I'd share .... and keep it handy to show my kids next time they come up ... GRAB THEM NOW - you never know when they won't be there!

ELECTION 2026: MIDTERMS, MAINE

 Well, look at this - another woman has come out claiming sexual indiscression ... aka RAPE ... and this one isn't being dismissed this time.

After the last one, who said that Platner was out of control (shook her by the shoulders so hard he left marks, pulling her out of a cab by twisting her wrist, hitting her, etc.) she was dismissed as being "political" not because she lied, or was unbelievable, nor because she hadn't reported it - but because she was A CONSERVATIVE!! that's it.

So, apparently, to the Democrats - it's okay to mistreat people who have different political opinions than you ... but this new one?

Well, it turns out she's a LIBERAL and is being taken seriously.

WHAT?!?! 

Why is she more credible than the first gal? Just because of her political affiliation?

God, I hope not!

I heard some of what she had said to a reporter - and I have to say, it sounded very "lawyer"ish ... that is it was phrased in legalize.

Well - any way it happened ... the Democrats have started jumping ship!

The last one? well, who else, Sen. Berni Sanders - everyone else jumped first and apparently Bernie wanted to make sure the water temp was just right ... but about midday 9July2026, Bernie let Platner knnow he wasn't supporting him anymore and put a statement out for the press as well.

Interestingly, it sounds like Mayor Mondahni flew the coop first.

Platner's response?

He says the reporting is WRONG, and that they will have to decide what to do.

I hope his current wife opens her eyes and starts spilling the beans.

ALERT ALERT: NEW SCAMS TO WATCH OUT FOR

 OMG - so I have a link for you .... first, you need to "subscribe" to this guy - he's very knowledgable about everything going on out in the "Interweb" and such .... 

In today's video - he shared how BANKS are denying help to people who have been scammed - because according to the bank, even though your mom is 78 yrs old and senile, she gave permission for the scammer to enter the account .... sigh .... and the scammers KNOW THIS.

And after that bit of news, there's one which really ticks me off .... it's a scam involving Social Security Benefits ... yes ... this one is a new one - and they are USING THE US MAIL to do it.

Yep, so if they get caught they will be facing a whole host of FEDERAL crimes .... 

So here's the video ... remember, this is NOT my video, I only link to it for your info!!!

FOLLOW UP - UFC PLOT

 OK - here's some moe info .... info on 5 suspects have been released so far ... with an id of the Leader of the group.

Tycen Proper, from OH - age 19, I've been spelling his name wrong
Bryan Omar Roa, from CA - I accidentally misspelled his name too
Michael Alan Thomas, from CA - his name I had correct!
Daniel Eskridge, from KS (I think)... no other info
Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez - the Leader, nickname "Shepard", from NE. Came to USA on Visitor Visa (B2?), it expired Dec 2001 ... granted DACA status in 2014 by Obama Adm. 

Law enforcement believes these men caused the biggest threat, and are already behind bars - none of them got to DC.

Wholly Crap!!!

So, nevermine the coincidence of this guy being here in 2001 - the same year as the Twin Towers ... he got DACA status - which was supposed to go to KIDS who were brought here by their families while they were under the age of 16 yrs.

WOW - the kid came on a VISA ... a Visitor Visa, which means you're just coming to see the sights, then you're going back home - kind of like kids on Spring Break .... but this guy stayed and then ends up PLOTTING AGAINST the US government!

I am trying my best to be kind here - I don't know what this guy went through ... but it can't be all that bad.

I'm just saying ...

ELECION 2026 - PRIMARY SEASON .... kind of ...

Okay - I am a bit behind on this one, but I've been having some issues (like not being able to get decent sleep) but here is the latest news from Special Report (FNC), and, yes, I understand the kirony of the name of the program .... and on my posting it here.

So, there were quite a few Primaries - where those representing the MAJORITY of a party are elected to go onto the ticket (with the exception of CA, where they just continue the count until they get the two candidates they wanted in the first place).

The most interesting vote in my mind this week (Tues. June 16th) was the primary for Mayor of DC, but why?

It is not even a state - its a place, a conglomeration amounts several states, which does not have any representation in the federal tax code ... that was the point ... it was meant to be autonomous, so that no one state could hold "extra" power over the government.

But - since the late 60's/early 70's, I can remember my mother saying/claiming that the Democratic party (as well as worker's unions) were being taken over by Communitsts ... well she was completely wrong .... it is being taken over by Socialists.

In Seattle & NYC, they have unapologetically elected Mayors who openly admit their alignment with the Democratic-Socialist Party (aka Socialists) and now DC has put up a Democratic-Socialist as well ... by the looks of it.

Current Coucil-member, Janese Lewis George (I don't think it's hyphenated) has taken the Democratic nomination for the fall election ... she is an open, FAR LEFT leaning politician with a variety of ideas ... in DC, like MPLS, they use a "Rank Choice" voting system - you vote 1-2-3 for who you like, they then count the votes, if no one wines the "majority" (here defined by 50%+ of voters) then a certain number of votes get tossed out, and the number 2 votes get counted - I don't believe the first count is recounted, I think those stand - and then if there still  isn't a 50%+ majority, they count the 3rd choices, and the first two votes still stand.

Now, if you didn't vote I hate rank choice - it's the easiest to cheat with ... there is nothing which says recounting the ballots 3 times (the norm for most places) will result in 3 identical totals ... in fact, it usually doesn't.

But, so far, as of Wednesday night at least, she have a double digit lead over her nearest opponent.

So ... DC, Dem-Soc (but they aren't finished counting yet)

Let's go to other ballots ...

GA- Republican ballots:
    Senate
        D- Ossoff, incumbant
        R- Collins, Tump's choice
    Governor
        D - Bottoms, former Atlanta Mayor
        R - Jackson, beat out Jones (Trump's choice)

So we will have to see what happens here.

CA? Well, it sounds like they are STILL COUNTING ... now I know what people I know in CA say their votes don't count anyways. Geez.

Los Angeles Mayor race was counted just long enough to push Pratt (I think that's his name) out of the race, but, dang he had a great showing!

For state Governor - where only the top 2 vote getters move on (thus the reason they seem to always have Dem Govs) - will actually be a Rep against a Dem!!

I don't remember who won, but I know this will be a very rare time for CA

FOLLOW UP: UFC ALLEGED ATTACK

 Ok - so I just started watching OutNumbered (FNC) .... I'm just a little behind but not by very much - I'm actually doing better.

And they had a bunch of info of the case I thought was worth sharing.

Number of people attending the event: 4000+
Number of people at "Watch Party" outside of event: 10,000+

From the case file (at least that's what they say):

"... the co-conspirators discussed using drones to drop explosives on the north side of the White House to create panic,  and funnel event attendees toward locations where the co-conspirators would have  snipers prepared to kill certain high value targets ... the co-conspirators' murder plot appears to have been motivated by their anti-government ideology."

United States District Court

Central District of California

And while the actual motive is still being investigated .... apparently, on of they suspects said they had planned to target capitalist elites, billionaires, or politicans who received donations from the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee ...

wow - so EVERYONE, basically, in DC!

So this was plot number 5 or 6 - that we KNOW of - on President Trump's life???

What the H is going on???
Mama's don't let you babies grow up to be .... assassins, I guess.

I am not going to touch the 2nd Amendment at this time .... it just doesn't feel like the time for it.

According to a clip of Vice-President JD Vance, he claimed there were actually 23 people involved in this plot. 

Now, on Good Morning America (ABC) - which was the first place I heard about this - there were only 3 people mentioned, but 4 states mentioned.

Ohio (the place which called the cops)
Missouri
Nebraska
California (and it seems this is the state where the other 2 came from)

The question is: 
Who is paying for all this???  They have to have some really deep pockets whoever they are.  They not only would have to pay for the drones, but likely for the ammo and rifles as well.  Definately for the intel needed to work it all out.

Nor is it likely to have been a recent plan, it would have been quite some time - unless some AI had been involved at some level as has happened in some recent incidents, but those issues were supposed to have been figured out already and corrected/removed from the system.

So I guess there's an issue of a possiblitly of a 501(C3) or 501(c4) having been used. yikes.  I know that a c3 is generally used for churches and other  non-profits, but I'm not exactly sure what a c4 covers ...

The "leader" was supposed to have begun to get frustrated because some people started to drop out ... but what he did say was that he placed some of the corruption of government on the Jewish people, and blames them and Israel for the current war with Iran.

Yeah - I'm guessing that's a bunch of horse hockey!

The guy from Ohio, was only 19 years old! He had used $3,000 to buy his guns and ammo, plus magazines .... wow - I can see why his Mom was so upset ... that money is supposed to help you get into college, or a trade school - not pay for a bunch of falbercarb!

I'm thinking the "leader" is likely the 31 yr old from California - I had his name and accidentally deleted it .... bummer ... 

the other person from California, is in his mid-20s to late 20's (I don't remember which) 

Everyone is assuming these guys are liberals, that they lean to tje Left because they are from California - but there is a part of the state which is more Right leaning, although usually towards the north of the state.

I'm thinking the list of reasons why is a bunch of bull whistle and it all comes down to just wanting to make a name for themselves ... get themselves in the history books.  And I hope that CA, for once, will keep these guys IN JAIL for the rest of their born days!

But .... we now, wait and see what happens.

I'm going to guess there will be a lot more updates coming.
