GET IT STRAIGHT PLEASE ...

This morning I turnd into Good Morning America (ABC) and got an update on the shooting of a man in Madison, WI ....

You'll notice that I did not mention his age ... or his race ... they are at this point insignificant ... until we know more, they are not necessary to mention ....

Now if only ABC news had receieved the memo!

First thing out of the reporters mouth was the race of the dead man - however all he said about the officers involved were their JOBS .... apparently, cops don't have a race these days ....

I'm sorry, but if the ethnicity of one is important, then the ethnicity of ALL should be equally important.

But ... that must just be me, I guess.

Any how -- as it turns out Madison police, for some rason, do not wear body cameras ... wait - how did this happen?  I thought all police were supposed to wear them??

I'm going to guess that it's an EXPENSE thing - and the city can't afford it .... even though Madison is a huge college town, it's got students from all over ... you'd think they'd have opted into the program but I guess not.

Story is....

Over the weekend, the police were called because a man was trying to open car doors without any keys .... and the police found him, tried to stop him, but supposeably he FLED ON A BICYCLE .... and they LOST HIM for about 1/2 hour.

Well, bikes are kind of slippery - they get to places police cars can't ... like stairs, skinny alleys, etc. etc.

well, they found him again 1/2 hr later and attempted to arrest the guy ... only this time (at least according to ABC News) he had a "fixed blade" weapon.

To me, we're looking at either a kitchen knife, or an ax, whatver - just not a pocket knife ....

And they tazed him - that's a lot of eletricity going through his body ... but the tazer didn't work!!!

Okay - now I'm thinkiiing, the guy has to be on something - it's pretty hot out, so I doubt he's got a down jacket on - THEN A VIDEO BEGINS ....

Yup, it took that long for a video to start ...

A small (4-6 officers) group of officers try to take him down .... the reporter said he was "on the ground on his side" - I didn't see that, I saw him sitting on his butt, on the ground, one arm in the air ... and then you can hear 3 shots ring out.

Last night, the Madison police  tried to give a news conference about what happened, when a man took over he mic/conference and wouldn't allow them to speak.

Ok -- I can see the guy being upset, but why not WAIT for them to say something before you take over?

Guys - If we don't get this under control, people like Manson, Hitler, and Stalin are going to win ...

Everyone - step back ....

Everyone - take a breath

Everyone - just LISTEN to the police first.

But most importantly ....

Everyone - look BEYOND the color of somone's skin ... right now, all we can say is that even if this guy had been white, the tragedy would still be the same.

HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ....HONESTLY

 Okay, so they say there has been 3-4 US service personale killed overseas - 3 in Jordan ( they found bits of one amongst the rubble) and the other up north tryng to defuse an Iranian drone.

Very sad.  Very sad. God Bless them and the Peace to their famililies. 

But you know what? THERE'S GOING TO BR MORE!

It's a WAR, not a bank robbery, for Christ's Sake!

Get off your high horses -- this is not a "quagmire" as I've heard some democrats say this weekend .... we've been there a whole 6 months and most of that's been in negotiations hh.... everyone take a breathe.  everyone calm down ... and everyone just think this through ....

We, well the government, has finally figured out that no matter what Peace Treaty they have with the PM of Iran, chances are very great that they will ignore the Treaty anyways .... because no one is taking anyone in the center of the country seriously.

The Iranians are even going to far as to bomb their firends in order to get them to fight .... what the Hey????

And if you don't recognize it ..... these are Gestapo Tactics ... This was how they had their own people working for them - and this is why we can never let it happen again.

You thought Oct. 7th was horid - now imagine it EVERYDAY ... they force young men to join their army, they force them to believe in Alla (no other name, just that one), they forc so much on the people, that they are AFRAID to speak against them ....

If they do, they get shot in the streets.  They watch their families starve, they watch their sisters, women, children get tortured and killed - not that they are worth all that much over there.  All a femaile is worth is the Sons she can have, and the food she can cook.

But - even with all this going on .... STILL we are voting for the DSA over here ... the Socialist wing of the Democratic party.

They aren't looking at the Big Picture - they have Tunnel Vision - they only see what they want to see and ignore all the rest.

So with a TOTAL death count at 16 right now (although there may be more which I haven't heard of yet) they will be SCREAMING for us to get out.

Only thing is - this is NOT the time to do that.

They are hiding something and we need to find out what it is?

And I'm pretty sure its linked to the Nuke program or the Oil shipments .... or their links to both russia and china ...

We can NOT pull out now .... we SHOULDN'T pull out now. 

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!!!
