…..But at least I’ll know a bunch of people there….now, when Nicole has what some women call…. “Their Days”…..and from my life experiences…..those are not…. “Happy Days”…..and she’s off to the store to get those OB things….women need….I always ask her….. “Are you off to get some more of those LA Rams Odell Beckham plugs ?”…..don’t worry…..I can still run very fast….anyway,….
THICH NHAT HANH…..This is a message from His Holiness the Dalai Lama……
“I am saddened to learn my friend and spiritual brother Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh has died. I offer my condolences to his followers in Vietnam and around the world. In his peaceful opposition to the Vietnam war, his support for Martin Luther King and most of all his dedication to sharing with others not only how mindfulness and compassion contribute to inner peace, but also how individuals cultivating peace of mind contributes to genuine world peace, the Venerable lived a truly meaningful life. I have no doubt the best way we can pay tribute to him is to continue his work to promote peace in the world.”
SNOW FALLS IN THE SAHARA DESERT…..Nope,….no climate change going’ on here folks….
LUC BESSON…..One of my favorite directors….born in 1959….he has created some of my favorite films….La Femme Nikita….Léon: The Professional….The Fifth Element…..and one of his most beautiful films….for me….Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets….the one which broke his film company…..because of the cost of the production…..and no one basically went to see it…..but it is a beautiful science fiction story…..I even liked Rihanna in it…..do a binge weekend and watch his films.

THE QUEEN UNLIKELY TO HAND OVER THE THRONE TO CHARLES….She ain’t no spring chicken anymore….so sooner or later….someone is going to sit on that chair….too bad it won’t be Harry.
TODAY WAS A GREAT DAY IN THE SUPREME COURT FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BRIBE A LAWMAKER…..This is from an article I found…..Wednesday’s oral argument on one of the remaining safeguards against excessive money in politics was no exception…..at least five of the six Republican appointees displayed no openness….and no fear of the very real possibility that rejecting the arguments would effectively legalize bribery….the case is Federal Commission v. Ted Cruz for Senate….and it involves a federal law intended to prevent campaign donors from putting money directly into the pockets of elected officials…..specifically, the law permits candidates to loan money to their own campaigns…..but forbids the campaign from paying more than $250,000 of that loan from funds raised after the election takes place….federal laws draw a sharp line between money donated to a campaign….which can only be spent on the election effort….and money given directly to a candidate…..which is ordinarily not allowed……it doesn’t matter what happens….the stage is set….for the RECH-publicans to do….whatever the hell they want to do…..and the law be damn!
FLORIDA COP ASSAULTED A FEMALE OFFICER FOR DEFENDING A SUSPECT IN HANDCUFFS…..And the video was captured on the body cameras….of two other cops just standing by….two different angles….so, of course the suspect was an African American….and the bad cop….a 21 year veteran was leaning into the backseat of the squad car….when the incident seem to be going….in an aggressively wrong way…..good cop tried to calm the situation by grabbing on bad cop’s belt…..and pull him away….without a second pause….bad cop turned around….grabbed good cop by the throat and pushed her back several steps….while he was heading back to deal with my man in the backseat….he screamed something at her….there is a video online you can watch….just letting you know….the ones who released it…..muted the sound….bad cop was place on desk duty…..the police chief found his behavior to be disgusting….and that the videos speak for themselves….he also said….good cop…..is the kind of good cops we need.
