Closing Argument

(Closing Argument)

If one were to listen to the desperate pleas from Democrats and the media on the dangers of a Trump return to Office, hyperbole knows no bounds. Trump is a facist. He is Hitler. He wants Hitler type generals. Former Secretary Clinton, known for her "deplorable" comment from the 2016 Campaign and has now compared to the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden set for Sunday and how she is reminded of a Nazi Party at the same venue in 1939.


Mirroring the Clinton remarks is Vice President Harris and running mate Walz. In the terminal phase to this Campaign there is the attempted narrative that horrible things will be happening to Trump's "enemies." He plans to incarcerate if not execute his enemies. His actions will make January 6th look pedestrian at best. He will be a dictator.


Or he could be a hero, if only for one day. The hit from David Bowie reflects how out of context Trump critics sees the former President. That being said, no one really believes that Trump will be the threat he has been made out to be. Trump is not going to jail the on-air or periodical  "talent" or any troublesome Democrats. Why would he ? Sitting back in the Oval Office behind that desk he could observe all his Domain and all those he out-maneuvered to return to "back where it started."


The World Series between the Dodgers and the Yankees kicks off tonight. However, how many teams fell during the Post-Season before the Fall Classic commences ? Major League Baseball has been a good analogy for a Club that started Opening Day and dropped the first few games and were dropped to the bottom of the Standings. But, like the movie Major League, the Cleveland Indians' new owner assembled a team so bad that she thought would finish last so she could move the Club to Miami. Upon learning the "plot," the team went on to win 32 more wins and beat the Yankees for the AFC East Pennant.


Donald Trump was like the Indians when he last left the White House. Then, like in the movie, he has gone 32-0 to get where he is now. That includes the lawfare, the ballot removal attempts, the indictments, the 34-count guilty verdict and at least the Jack Smith case is the only one with any remaining viability. And, the former President has survived two assassination.


A lot of people will be un-happy with a Trump win. That is the bad news. However, perhaps the good news is that they could be collectively miserable while living a long life.

TEQUILA !

(TEQUILA !) Happy Cinco de Mayo or May 5th. One can hope that a lot of you out there are awash in inebriation, seeking to mainline tequila shots or enjoying a nice margarita on the patio. Or, in other words, relax. Take a breath. De-compress. May 5th as it happens is the anniversary of Mexico's victory over French "occupation" of Mexico by Emperor Maximillian, brother to Austrian monarch Maria Theresa in what has been called the Battle of Puebla. The reason France was in Mexico in the first place was that Mexico, after the Mexican-American War and a more civil conflict called the Reform War, had bankrupted Mexico City. Mexican President at the time was Benito Juarez, who repudiated all foreign debt, of which France, Spain, and the United Kingdom were all major holders. A naval expedition was dispatched to Veracruz and France's Napoleon III thought it would be a good idea to establish a French "empire" in Mexico. But, on May 5th, 1862, in the aforementioned B...

Keeping The Faith ?

(Keeping The Faith ?) Happy Memorial Day ! This is the day when the nation pauses and recognizes the contributions of the men and women that strove, and often times perished in the defense of this country. How many campaigns and battles have been seen over the years with Americans in harms way. Theirs was not a pursuit of glory, necessarily but they are remembered as such. As an example, take the Joe Rosenthal photo of the "Iwo Jima Flag-raising," February 23rd, 1945. Most people know what that is and not a few have a copy on their wall. Three of those Marines survived Iwo Jima and went on a bond tour to promote that picture. The U.S. was able to fund the rest of the War off of that drive but the Marines in question did not fare well. Private Ira Hayes, the last casualty of the Volcano Island died of exposure some years later. There was one other Marine, Rene Gagnon, and who was originally believed to be Navy Corpman, John Bradley. Since then, the "place" in the Ros...

Siege Of The Alamo

(Siege Of The Alamo) Any visitor to Downtown San Antonio will recognize the City's most famous landmark, the Alamo. An old Spanish mission that means "Cottonwood" in English was the site where the likes of Jim Bowie, William Barrett Travis and Davy Crockett and about another 185 Texians defended the Mission and its compound for thirteen days against the Army of General Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana and his 5,000 troops. The garrison was finally reduced on March 6, 1836. However, the Texian defeat at the Alamo and another one at Goliad, bought time for General Sam Houston time to fall back and then face Santa Ana at San Jacinto. There, Houston's army surprised the Mexicans and yelling "Remember the Alamo, Remember Goliad !" all but wiped out the Mexican force. Santa Ana was captured and was forced to recognize the Republic of Texas. Which is now the State of Texas and, like 1836 Texas War of Independence, there is a new invasion from Mexico. Not the armed body o...
