RINO incompetent

  Despite the fact that they haven’t run the federal government since 2008, RINO commentators pontificate and write columns as if they matter and are important. Why should anyone listen or care what Peggy Noonan, Karl Rove, Dana Perino and Marc Thiessen say on matters, no matter what the situation is? Yes the RINO’s were in charge for 8 years. Not now, and they gave us two terms of Obama and Biden and Harris. Putin and Russia 🇷🇺 aren’t listening to you. Neither do many of the large Eastern states like New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Maryland. 

Plus  many of these leaders are 70-85 years old. We need new blood and leadership.

Baseball thoughts

 I’ll leave the thoughts on the commissioner who should be fired for another 

 time.

My picks

Toronto over Seattle 

Cleveland over Tampa

San Diego over New York 

St. Louis over Philadelphia 

Toronto has more oomph than Seattle does and the crowd will work to Torontos favor.

Cleveland doesn’t beat themselves.

Don’t trust the Mets and St. Alouis doesn’t beat themselves.

Houston in five over Toronto

Cleveland over New York

Los Angeles over SAN Diego 

Atlanta over St. Louis

Watson and jury shopping

 The arbitrator handed down a six game suspension for DeShaun Watson in his harassment case. The NFL is appealing  this decision. This is immature and wrong because it is jury shopping. Be user they didn’t get their way they decided to appeal. You don’t pick an independent arbitrator to decide something for you and if it doesn’t go your way you squeal like an infant. Who are you to be bigger than the law?

It’s part of a post constitutional society where independent arbitrators can make binding decisions. Executive overreach is scary no matter how sacred the cause.

Mediocrity defined

 I know that I’m supposed to be excited about the Mariners and their big winning streak. However I have no faith in Jerry DiPoto the ex Met reliever  turned GM or Scott Servais the ex Cub catcher turned manager. They look like mediocre leaders who are lucky to be in a city that won’t give them a lot of grief.

How MLS or Major League Soccer can overtake baseball and hockey

 It is possible for MLS (Major League Soccer) to overtake MLB (Major League Baseball) in popularity given the arrogance and foolishness and greed of the baseball owners and commissioner. However they would need to aggressively market their stars to the public in the way that the NBA markets Stephen Curry, Giannis, Lebron, Jokic and Embiid. I don’t know if they are willing to do that. If so then they will surpass baseball ⚾️ and hockey 🏒 and be third behind football and basketball in the USA.

Why we are lucky to be here

 This should probably be called,”Why We Are Blessed to be Here”. Despite all that has happened in the last 27-30 months and even the two terms of Obama, we are blessed to be in the United States 🇺🇸. Let’s take a look at other places around the world which are alleged democratic countries.

Canada under Justin Trudeau has turned into a quasi dictatorship. He and his government are running roughshod over peoples liberties all in the name of public health because of COvid 19.

Britain and other European countries are in economic distress. The Boris Johnson led government will probably collapse in a year or two and then Labour will Take over. That is not a healthy sign.

Many of the South American countries are quasi dictatorship similar to Canada. You really want to live there (not vacation in Rio do Janiero )?

Happy July 4th and Independence Day.

American Exceptionalism racist?

 Some fool who I shouldn’t mention but I read his column  in a blog called Above The Law, on the racist origins of American Exceptionalism said that it’s racist and authoritarian white Christian patriarchal rule. Anyway I shouldn’t be surprised given the fact that the author is a) a Seattle native b) went to Ball State University  and c) lived in China for 3 years. He must think that the rest of the world 🌍 should be like China and North Korea 🇰🇵. Why this blog that is for people in my profession of law is so progressive and one dimensional is beyond me. 

Makes me proud and glad to be a religious Jew where I have a higher power to thank and other standards to live by. Shabbat Shalom.
