This week 5 American hostages held in Iran were freed. But actually 8 were freed – one given a medical humanitarian release earlier, and 2 women, one a wife of a hostage, the other a mother of a hostage were released. While many repubs are calling foul the $6 billion released, it is Iran’s money and tranches* will be controlled under this agreement. Monies are under strict release for only purchases such as food and medicine.

Wonder if we got interest on this stashed cash? It surely would help the national debt..

Need to send Joe an email with this idea.

Joe Biden is visiting the United Nations this week, and further discussions/resolutions are being probed to end these hostage situations. Go Joe. Maybe I’ll be able to visit Iran safely in my lifetime?

Iran needs to think of the tourism dollars they are missing out on.

*Tranches – portion of something, mainly money – a noun. Learned a new word today! HA! HA!

One final caveat.. Think Antony Blinken needs a Nobel Peace Prize. Don’t you?

In a new florida law everyone can openly carry a weapon. This is what I was told, fact check me, I wish I was wrong. Then with a sigh of relief this person who shared this information with me stated if a business posts a sign that you cannot carry inside their establishment then you are not allowed.

My what a sigh of relief- I jest.

Let’s do a hypothetical here….What do you do when you are sitting next to someone who appears disgruntled or unhappy, and they just “happen” to be openly carrying a gun?

The unsupreme court sure got this one wrong.

And a caveat.. I’ve read much on gun safety and those who were adamant gun owners and protectors of the 2nd Amendment quickly change their mind once they loose a family member to a gun related incident.

Sad it has to come to that.

Jack Smith finally initiated a gag order for the 45th. It was long overdue. By September 25th we’ll have a decision. However, I’m hoping rather than a gag order the Judge will follow up on her promise to move the trial date up, perhaps to October 2023?? Let’s get this over with.

The other night I painstakingly listened to 15 minutes of tr lie repeatedly at his South Dakota rumble. It was disgusting, and how anyone could sit and listen to that lunatic I have no idea. But, let’s face it there isn’t a helluva lot to do in South Dakota. I’m sure they get brainwashed by their pastors on Sunday, then there is fox news in between, and add a dash of the former president. Reality is lost in the messages received and reinforced causing a loss in the ability to think objectively.

These folks might as well live in China.

Then I got to thinking old 45 better get out while he can as with 91 indictments he’ll never see the light of day again once he’s convicted. Justice will be served, but what of the brainwashed?

I send Joe Biden emails whenever something comes to mind which I believe he needs to know. Laugh though you may things do come to pass. With all the Cabinet members getting out on the stump about the Inflation Reduction Act I believe he must have heard me. However, I suggested he do a multiple city gig, perhaps by train approach across the country. This is hard to do as he’s been busy on the global stage, and while I think Jill would do a good job she has that teaching gig.

Love this photo it reminds me of my trip from Denver to San Francisco on the Zephyr. A must do.

Today I sent him an action packed email mentioning 3 things to consider:

• Recruit immigrants for the military. It has been done in the past and worked. They would be phenomenal.
• Move the bases out of Alabama, or at least threaten to so we get that situation resolved. Wouldn’t that put the old tub in a real panic?
• Start talking about the 45th, you need to Joe, the guy is a criminal, and he’s sucking up all of your air space.

Then I also mentioned Kamala’s interview on Face the Nation, and how he needs to give her a High 5. She did a great job, and I learned much. Did you see it? It was amazing to hear their strategy on the international front. Loved the picture of Kamala with all the Indo-Chinese rulers. The only negative was Margaret Brennan being so confrontational about abortion. Kamala said her piece, let it go, she answered the question, and it wasted air time when we could have heard her speak more. Our Vice President makes much sense. The interview is on U Tube if you want to learn something.

Well, that’s my rambling for today.

See you tomorrow.

You probably are wondering why I don’t address the elephant in the room, or the best candidate for the new Big Boy ads..

Yes, I mean the 45th.

It is a no brainer, it is over for him. Residents of New Mexico already established the claim, and removed their county commissioner, who participated in the January 6th attack, from office. All his appeals are finished, but this insurrectionist states he will take his case to the Supreme Court. Let him.

The 14th amendment of the constitution states those who take an oath, even if they had not personally engaged in violence, cannot run or hold an office. (I paraphrase, but check it out yourself).

This same claim is now being brought by two Colorado female politicians, who are republicans, to bar trump from the Colorado ballot. CREW, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, filed suit in Colorado on September 6th.

And the biggest, and scariest fools in this saga are those who continue to financially support a man who would throw anyone under the bus to promote his self interest.

Try to recall one thing he did as President, I can, he doubled the national debt with his tax laws.

Why?

To increase his coffers, and his wealthy cronies.

Nancy Pelosi has announced her 20th run for her congressional seat. In her speech she said her work was not done, and believe this to be true. She still remains a distant advisor to Hakeem Jeffries, and Joe Biden needs her. She is the most powerful fund raiser of the democratic party. In San Francisco she is everywhere from pictures in the Chinese Fortune Cookie Store, (a must see if you visit), to Nancy Pelosi Way in Golden Gate Park.

They say Nancy only eats dark chocolate. Is that the secret to her success??

BUT,

we don’t need a fortune cookie to predict the outcome of this race.

You go girl!!!!

Man can this guy talk, hold his own, and is so easy on the eyes. His only downfall was he was married to Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is donald trump jr’s fiancee. Remember her? How did that ever happen?

GN gave a great interview recently about how he and Kamala Harris are long time friends as they worked together in Cali. He espoused how capable she is, and what a great job Biden is doing, (which anyone with a brain in their head knows).

But the real reason I am following Gavin is he is scheduled to debate de santis, and I am so looking forward to that evisceration. I’m sure Gavin will handle him, and perhaps this will be his last stand? One can dream, and if ron ever sees this blog my taxes will increase, or I will be picked up by a sheriff for some infraction, as he is one who retaliates with a vengeance. Look what he’s done to the Florida Teachers as they backed Charlie Crist for governor, and then there is poor Mickey Mouse, and the New School in Florida, the two District Attorneys he fired without cause, not to mention the bogus Martha’s Vineyard situation with immigrants not even headed to Florida. That last one has legal bills in the 20 million range with the Florida citizens paying for that, I could go on and on….

Just this weekend de santis had a melt down when a black man spoke his truth at an open forum. Can you see de santis on the world stage acting like that?

Let the games begin.

And believe me I’m working on it as I so miss Stephen Colbert. SC must be sizzling in his New Jersey home as he is missing out on all the political fodder he could be using in his monologues. Let’s hope the writer strike ends soooooooon……….

I digress…

At the direction of a friend I sought out the interviews of Vivek Ramaswamy. He really is a joke, and should stay home, and not waste his money, or his children’s inheritance. On the first interview I scanned this trump wanabee admitted to the interviewer that he only started voting at 35, which was 2 years ago. He also stated that young people of his generation will need to take a test to vote When he becomes president. My the man certainly has dreams, but they would be a nightmare for us should he be elected. Even the rapper Eminem put an injunction against him to stop singing his songs. Smart move E.

Since I got such a laugh out of this interview I sought out others, and they all were equally entertaining. But perhaps the biggest laugh out loud one was with Al Sharpton interviewing him. He told Al he would fire 75% of the federal staff as they weren’t working anyway since there is a shadow staff which operates the country. (sic) I do not know how Al kept it together without laughing out loud, but he needs to work on that Poker Face should he interview Viv again. However doubt he will have to.

Aces to Al

And how did Viv become a tech billionaire with the way he conducts himself?

There is hope for us all..

Ever heard of the Wilks Brothers? They started poor, and made billions off fracking, which for those who don’t know– fracking is a process of injecting fluids into cracks of the Earth to obtain more gas and oil.

Well, they have put 8 million into their non-university, Prageru. Sounds like a university doesn’t it? They are making all sorts of education programs for children stating the ice caps aren’t melting, and if they are it is because of the divine intervention of God. And the bulk of their videos stress climate change is not occurring.

And what states have approved this Prager U. information for classroom usage?

Florida and Oklahoma.

Rudy, Rudy, What Happened to you?

Twinkle, twinkle little star wonder how Rudy has dropped so far?

Once America’s Mayor, and now look where you are.

You’ll be lucky if you don’t live the rest of your life behind bars..
