(Thanksgiving Day) I've been watching for about 70 yrs. I noticed something I should have been aware of, But never realized before. I know its main purpose is to help push movies and new stars and certain entertainers the young are there to see in person. But on this occasion, I noticed a high school band from South Dakota (200 strong, I love the bands) came marching to the performance location (in front of Macys) got into formation and began to play, young smiling, facing the cameras, for 5 seconds, when as they were just starting NBC went to a commercial. Gone never to be seen again on the broadcast. All the practicing, travel plans, costs to family, school etc. How about grandparents and others waiting and planning to watch them on TV. I know this not an earthshattering story but for me I wouldn't miss one of those lipped-sync Bwy plays they were pushing all during the parade.

While some regulatory oversight is necessary, federal rules should not be used to dictate what vehicles Americans can drive". How was this ever able to happen? Who benefitted not us (the people who are paying for it). I Quess the lobbyists and the people in the know were given the heads-up to what stocks to buy. In a Democracy ( Pres Biden) aren't we all supposed to be included. WHERE'S MY STOCK.

                                     I hope everyone is going to have great Holidays this season. I'm sure you're all aware of people canceling Christmas and Thanksgiving because of the election results (I'm sure their children understand why). Unbelievable as this seems, you have to realize these are probably the same people who totally went along and believed all the phony trials and lawsuits of the last few years. Personal attacks on candidates' families and friends, from not only the opposing candidates, but from the newspapers and all the media people once trusted to get their information. I hope all the participants, the Judges, prosecutors, DAs, celebrities, CEOs, etc., will face the consequences of their actions. A person was killed, families destroyed financially, careers destroyed, and attempted assassinations, some justice has to be had! PS Thank goodness Whoopi comes away with her Charlotte-Rousses, as you can see, she really needed them.

Now we wait to see all the promises come true. (I'll settle for 50 %.) All for only a few Billion bucks the campaigns spent.

What ever happened to that?

 10/25/24                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The Melendez bros blew away their father and mother(with shotguns, At close range) at the ages of 21 and 18 yrs, because of abuse they suffered as children. No police or child services reports., to my knowledge, over those years were ever disclosed. But there was an estate worth millions who their parents controlled, and a jury convicted them to life, with no parole. Should the citizens of California be concerned that other cold blooded killers will be released(even after being legally convicted)back into their communities. I'm no expert in this case but I'm not getting it. Maybe the public should get to see the crime scene pics.

That being, is Putin gaslighting us? Russia has been a constant threat for 75 years, cold war. Walls, massive parades showing off the newest armament. Our Defense budget (Almost a $ Trillion) always rising to keep up with threat. Our intel-agencies tell us they have hyper-missiles, jets that are seen off our coast buzzing are jets, nuclear subs etc. etc. Yet there not able to handle Ukraine. Where are all these weapons. They're using old equipment, convict soldiers, mercenaries and now North Koreans. Can it be a new plan to economically hurt us and our allies who are sending billions and billions to Ukraine, which we don't have, with apparently no end in sight. And if they can't win in this war, what are we worried about?
