This year could end with a bang.
Scientists recently spotted an asteroid on a direct collision course to Earth — projected to hit a day before the presidential elections in November.Gretchen Whitmer is the governor of Michigan. She has pretty much shut down her state, excpet when it involves activities for herself and family. She made a name for herself, and not a good one, when last week at the DNC convention while standing at a podium, a hot mic caught her saying, "It's shark week, motherf**kers.**
Whitmer is also the only governor who has Big Ten teams in her state who wanted the sport shut down. We've now learned that all Big Ten athletic directors wanted to play. The commissioner, Kevin Warren, of the conference said 'No'. "Let it be written. Let it be done". I do find a conflict of interest in the commissioners dictates. His son plays in for Mississippi State in the Southeast Conference. If he is worried about boys dying doesn't he care about his own kid? Or, maybe he has another motive. Last week when Warren decided there would be no football he wrote a letter to justify his beliefs. In it he spent a great deal of time writing about Black Lives Matter. I don't get it. Or, maybe I do.
Over to the west in Minnesota Sen. Am Klobuchar said the same about football. What these two females must not understand is college football is America. It's the flag and apple pie.
In Michigan football is a really big deal but by voting to eliminate it you've shut down any hope of Michigan State and the Univ. of Michigan to strut their stuff. Many democrats in the the Wolverine state are not going to jump on board with the governor.
This action on the part of these pols has to be political since I've know few women who have ever put on shoulder pads and a helmet.
Politically, this is not too smart.
**I'm willing to wager I've heard the word MF's more in the last six months than at any time in my life. I've heard it by politicians, people on the street and by hundreds when I watch You Tubes of rioting.
I'm biased on this subject buy I rarely, if ever, hear it said by people on the right. It's most often said by folks screaming in anger and some perceived threat. "No justice, no peace" comes to mind.
Have a nice day.
Joe Biden cited a quote made famous by Chinese communist dictator Mao Zedong during a digital fundraising speech with former Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett.
"We’ve got to get real economic relief into women’s hands now,” Biden said on Monday evening to the 14 wealthy donors who attended the digital fundraising session.
According to the pool reporter who watched the event, Biden then cited the Chinese proverb, "Women hold up half the sky."
The phrase comes from a proclamation by Mao in the mid-20th century that helped grant certain rights to women in China.

One of my former high school baseball players from the 1980's immediately got on Facebook following the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha. The young man quickly chastized the police for shooting Blake in the back seven times. Being his former mentor I got back to him(we communicate often) and suggested he might tone it down until we know all the facts. "But he was shot in the back", he said.
He was shot in the back I'll admit but let's let it play out. Sadly, the uber liberal governor of Wisconsin came out against the police. The mayor, a democrat, came out against the police. It took almost no time for the rioting and burning to begin. Why, it's almost as if there were orgaznized groups of haters who could be in attendance on a moments notice.
I went to You Tube last night to look at some of the damage to this city of 100,000 located directly north of the Illinois border. It's devasting. The downtown was, once again ravaged. A car dealership saw 100 of its vehicles go up in flames. Why? What was gained?
Why is it when these anarchists loot and burn they seemingly never go after grocery stores, Payless shoes, clothing stores for young children, welfare buildings?
No, they hit the high end places of business. They're going after the man. Kenosha illustrates that all of America is under attack; not Chicago, Portland, Seattle and the other major cities. The criminals are coming after the common man.
Last year, in the run-up to what would be Hugo Chávez’s final election, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter provided the ultimate cover for the late caudillo when he called the Venezuelan election process "the best in the world." Today, as the country roils in the aftermath of a contested election to elect Chávez’s successor, we now know that is not the case.
