Super Sunday

Is it just me or has this been an unusually under-hyped Super Bowl? The death of Laker great Kobe Bryant took a lot of air out of the sports world balloon.

Well. I may have rooted for San Francisco back when they were led by Notre Dame's own Joe Montana and battling the other Evil Empire, the Dallas Cowboys. But as a general rule I can't root for California teams so its Kansas City for me.

Jack,

That's a pretty big blizzard, but the one here in 1978 was worse.

My Dad and Mom had tanks and half-tracks in front of their house. The National Guard had to use tanks to get cars off the interstate.

Thicydides was right with pericles early decisions including corcyra captain, thats why it doesnt make sense.

I was looking at it and thinking "why are you screwing your friends?" They tried to downplay it by saying "we're only helping with their defense" as if that wouldn't rapidly get tested and fail.

Good afternoon! It is a bit chilly for a beach walk today,so we took a ride along Casey Key. The Gulf water is beautiful,every color from green to blue to the white froth of the surf. Driving back we saw someone walking two beautiful,sleek looking white dogs. I said to hubby, I think they are Great Danes. They were white with some black spots. They were certainly not Dalmatians,too big! As soon as we got back to the house, I looked up white Great Danes. Yes,Great Danes can be white with black markings. Very impressive dogs.

[clarice]

Never reject sbw.

I went thru my files to show what FB has blocked of mine--hilariously stupid. Maybe it will be my first post when I'm back in.

I was remembering being in London when the Brits won the World Cup in soccer, not rugby. That would have been 1966, when they beat West Germany. I gather it was the first (and only) time they won it, which would explain the massive celebration in the streets. Piccadilly was a madhouse.

[henry]

Great game winner in 66.

I've seen that Geoff Hurst goal a thousand times Henry. They would play it everytime England played. I don't think it cleared the line and as you know it has to be completely off the line. But before VAR, and when Goalies wore neat wool caps:)

[JM Hanes]

Captain Hate:

"All true but it sends a terrible message to the base that they had to go to the other party to find a credible candidate."

But perhaps not as bad a message as changing the Convention by-laws so the pols can knock Bernie out in the first round, and/or trying to raise Hillary from the dead for another go.

[GUS]

What policies of the FULL COMMIE did or does AHOY CAPN' adhere to.

[henry]

JiB, the next vid was a longer highlight film for the game. It showed the Hurst goal from an angle I hadn’t seen before... from just behind the goalpost. The ball clearly passed the goal line. Which surprised me, I thought it was barely but not completely over the line as well.

Nonetheless, you have to win in spite of blind refs. Germany didn’t.

[JM Hanes]

Clarice:

I'm not convinced that Facebook, Twitter etc are actually doing the policing. I think there are whole cadres of lefties who live to report conservative posters/twitterers and that HQ relies heavily on those reports to direct them to "sensitive" content. That revelation came to me when I landed on a twitter page where whole blocks of totally harmless videos were sequestered. It seemed obvious that somebody, or bodies, had just started with the post they didn't like and then just run down the page reporting tweets from there.

[Captain Hate]

But perhaps not as bad a message as changing the Convention by-laws so the pols can knock Bernie out in the first round, and/or trying to raise Hillary from the dead for another go.

It's pretty obvious they don't have any good options. Because of the influence of the media I'm not even sure what the donk base is.

My favorite reply to Bill Kristol's, “But for the time being one has to say: We are all Democrats now.” was the one from somebody named Tony Shaffer:

"LOL - dude - you are all Trotsky now...🤡"

[Jack is Back (Again)!]

Isn’t Tony Shaffer ex-Military officer?

[JM Hanes]

Captain:

"Because of the influence of the media I'm not even sure what the donk base is."

Very true. I do think it's a pretty safe bet that Democrats as a whole are not as far left as Bernie and AOC. Those two have energetic, but self-limiting, constituencies. Last time I think Bernie got a lot of votes from Dems who just didn't like Hillary much more than we did. Of course, I doubt those folks are any happier with the idea of Liz Warren. OTOH, in the past 5 years or so, I've heard more people actually admit that they are socialists, than I've ever heard in the past, and I mean people who ought to know better, not callow youths.

[clarice]

jmh, I think that's the case, and that the "monitors" are young, overpaid people in a miserable job who just follow on.

Dunno about his vertical dimension but his IQ seems short. :) :)

[MissMarple2]

Here's a question I have. Suppose Bloomberg gets a box or whatever and no one says anything, and then he gets elected. (Unlikely, given the things that henry and clarice outlined that he has said.)

How is he going to appear in public with foreign leaders, when he looks like a little shrimp? Some leaders will be taller than he is!

I think Trump is right in an inartful way. People need to think about this.

The reason I believe there is hope for the continuance of the American experience is that we survived 8 years of Obama and get to reset with Trump. People are wise to the manipulation of the Dems and media.

In a way this may be our golden age.

According to General Kelly, Bolton is a copious

working for Trump.

Now that Mike Bloomberg is in spotlight, it's worth mentioning his top pol. adviser, Doug Schoen, was up until 11/19 an active foreign lobbyist for Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk.

Schoen worked for Pinchuk for 20yrs (!) before abruptly terminating & joining Team Bloomberg.

Many moons ago Daniel Shore had a call in program (on either CNN or C-SPAN I forget ?). Anyway I called in and asked him if people (like him) just might be involved with the Pentagon Papers just to boost their public persona and CV.

Jim,

MrsJ has remained a registered Dem just so that we can get all the campaign literature and polling calls. She doesn't vote that way, but it is interesting to see what the Dems are up to.

Someone must have signed me up for the Progressive Party, but they seem interested mainly in getting money. The rest of their info is to stir up the far left.

Korea was for centuries the Hermit Kingdom. Like Japan, they killed any foreigners who came ashore.

Their great national victory is when Admiral Yi defeated the Japanese navy with his turtle ships.

Koreans think their country is the center of the universe just as the Japanese and Chinese do. A very interesting dynamic that has been playing out for thousands of years.

Reminds of the time many years ago when my husband as a young lawyer was handed a file and sent to court to defend the distributors of a film "Deep Throat"..The courtroom was packed as the govt played selective portions. When he rose to defend the film as being not out of whack with community standards, the Judge , a socially conservative Black man (and many Blacks are) , responded, "I don't know what the standards are in YOUR community, but in mine this offends ours.

I remember that Clarice. In the case of DEEP THROAT, it's much like cable TV today. The airwaves "belong" to "the people" (read government). The internet is unregulated generally speaking. Awareness of the COMPLETE BIAS of SOCIAL MEDIA, is important to our side. And we need to be vocal about it.
