Random Thoughts

Now Blake Lively, actress is suing her former co-star and Director Jason Baldoni for sexual harassment.  Seems he sexually harassed her on the set of their movie 'It Ends With Us'.  Guess the lawsuit is where it is actually going to "End With Us".  But she claims he not only sexually harassed her but cast aspersions about her character, hurting her career, causing pain and suffering to her and her family.  We're a little bewildered here because isn't she married to the Deadpool guy, Ryan Reynolds?  Why didn't she just have the Deadpool guy beat this Jason Baldoni up?  What's a lawsuit going to do?  Give her money?  She's already got money.  C'mon Ryan Deadpool guy, go get that guy.

And the Congress got together under the umpteenth threat of Closing the Government, God forbid and passed a spending bill.  Like wow, we're all supposed to be thankful.  Sort of like getting presents on Christmas morning.  Now what would happen if they actually closed the Government?  Well the friends of the millionaires club also known as our Congress, wouldn't get paid.  OMG!  No, that would be double OMG or OMG!! which as readers of this column know, is the absolute end of it all.  An actual closing of the Government might last ten minutes or maybe a New York minute.  So, the next time they threaten this, don't get all excited because it ain't gonna, ever, happen.

And, what happened to the Drones?  For weeks before Christmas the Mass Hysteria was full of stories about The Drones, The Drones.  The Drones filling the skies over New Jersey, New York and even DJT's golf course and then...  Nothing, Nada, Zlich.  Where did they go?  And we're not sure which disappeared, The Drones or the stories about The Drones.  Either way, are we safe now?

Mendacity

Would you give 15 million dollars to someone who was "liable for rape"?  Of course you don't have 15 million dollars but let's say you're some rich S.O.B. who has quite a few billion?  No!  You you would stand on principle.  Good for you.  

BTW why would anyone pay a rapist?  How would the victim feel?  Like she was raped again.  Right?  Well looks like you're not ABC news or George Stephanopoulos.  Because they did just that.  ABC just agreed to pay 15 million to Former and Future President of the United States DJT's Presidential library.  They also threw in another million for his lawyers.  All because George Stephanopoulos kept saying DJT was "liable for rape" when that, just wasn't true.  BTW, ABC and Stephanopoulos have got to be wondering why they have to pay for saying something that wasn't true.  And, at this point can we say...  The truth hurts.

And as the skies over New Jersey and New York fill with not Christmas lights but those of unknown origin Drones, all manner of culprits have been assigned to their source.  It's Iran, the Hamasses, the Hezbollalas or even the evil empire themselves, the Russians!  But we kind of doubt it's any of them, as the Hamassess are going extinct, the Hezbollalas are running for cover, Iran sold all it's Drones to the Russians and the Russians are stuck in the mud.  Our Federal Government claims they don't know but it's nothing to worry about.  No one believes them, not even other politicians.  Which if we stop to think about it, is kind of refreshing for a change.  But before this turns into another Covid miss information saga or gets labeled Dronegate, let us say we think the Drones are ours.  The Drones have the good ole U.S. of A. stamped all over them.  Nothing else makes sense, not even Aliens.  So now you ask why would the Government lie?  Very simple, it's what they do.

And CNN got caught with their pants down.  Seems they interviewed a supposed prisoner held by Assad in Syria.  It turned out out that he wasn't  an actual prisoner but rather a brutal prison guard.  We're not saying the whole scene played out like a bad segment of Jerry Springer, Real Housewives or some other not quite, Reality Show but a whole lot of other people are saying so.  CNN is claiming they were duped.  This would be really bad for CNN, a really big blow to their status and credibility except, well...  No one watches them anymore.  

Mendacity definition: untruthfulness, lying

Getting There

We've all seen the MVP of the World Series, the Superbowl or other championships, standing amid confetti or sprouting champagne, trophy in hand, smiling broadly and saying. "I'm going to Disneyland!"  The season ended in final victory and Disneyland is the cherry on top of the sundae or the icing on the cake.  We'll for Bashar al-Assad it's not Disneyland, it's Moscow.  Now Bashar did not  look right into the camera, as he got off the plane there but he was smiling just as broadly as Patrick Mahomes or Freddie Freeman.  Bashar is still upright, still breathing and still above room temperature.  For a Middle Eastern despot who has been deposed, that's just as good as winning a World's Championship and going to Disneyland.

For Donald John Trump HLH, HIAH, Former, Future and some seem to think, current President of the United States, it's the White House.  He actually lives pretty near Disneyland, so he could just go there anytime he wanted.  But what he wanted was The White House.  And he's got it, in spite of being impeached twice, indicted 90 something times, convicted 34 times and shot.  We don't expect him to look into the camera and say.  "I'm going to the White House." as everyone already knows it.

For the Islamic Rebels who've just taken over Damascus, they say their next stop is Jerusalem.  We're kind of thinking, they might have a better shot at Disneyland.  If they're not on a no fly list, as yet.  Then again, maybe they have a better shot at Moscow or Tehran.

And this last Sunday, The New York Jets once again snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory.  The New York Giants just lost ignominiously.  The fans of both teams may well be gnashing their teeth.  Some of them are on staff here and they are.  But the more savvy among the fans are keeping their eyes on the prize.  With the season for both teams firmly in the toilet, the savvy amongst us know that wins are impediments right now.  The goal is getting the first pick in the 2025 draft or as close to it as possible.  That will put them on the path to the Superbowl, at some imagined point up ahead.  Right now, the Jets have 3 wins and the Giants only 2.  The only team in their path are the Raiders with only 2 wins.  So the goal here is to play out the string, loose them all and hope the Raiders win 1 or even 2 more games.  Now some of you are saying that's no way to play football!  But remember, the object is getting there and there, is the Superbowl.  Hopefully, before the decade is out.  Sort of like the goal of getting to the Moon was, back in the 1960's.
