They sang God Bless America.



Today's Tids Issue 3964
For Standing back Up:

Normally I open each month with my views on a month, but yesterday set me back a bit. And this morning it still hovers. But, we are in fact three days into one of every year’s most beautiful months. A month that is peaceful in a world that more and more is not. It just feels orange with the leaves and pumpkins that abound. Like I have jumped into a giant economy sized bag of Cheetos. The aromas of the changing flora, waters glistens like a million stars; the longer shadows from the sun on crisp dawning’s are sedatives for the soul. Why can’t our world be like October? Why do we think like headless horsemen, despite all of the love beyond the anger?

Three US researchers were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for better understanding …the biological clock?

If you don’t think anger in America is becoming irrational, consider yesterday’s CBS immediate firing of VP/Senior Counsel Hayley Geftman-Gold after she said in a Facebook discussion: “…not even sympathetic” (to victims of Las Vegas shootings because), “Country Music fans are often Republican.”   How small minded can a supposedly well-educated person be! No wonder we have problems – the intelligent are unable to think beyond their bias.

The Question:
Las Vegas also makes odds. What do you think are their picks as the MLB playoffs are set to begin?

The Headlines:
--Local Individual Heroism Is Major Story Coming Out Of LV Massacre.
--Trump Heading To PR, Before Trip to Las Vegas To Meet With Families.
--23 Guns Found In Paddock’s Hotel Room; No Motive Yet.
--Stock Markets Rise Strongly; Tesla Stock Hit After Severely Missing Production Dates For New Model 3; Ford, GM Sales Strong In September.
--Supreme Court Takes Up Wisconsin Gerrymandering Claims.
--Spain PM Calls Catalonian Leadership Totalitarian State.

Baseball playoffs start tonight as the Mighty Minnesota Twins with Joe Mauer still hitting away like he had not aged, against the Ya-Ya-Ya…Well you know who I rooting for.

Two news items I am not interested in: OJ out of prison and the latest on NFL kneeling.

One story you may never see in the main stream media is the results of this study from Pew research; It showed that for the first 100 days, 62% of Trump stories had a negative assessment with but a mere 5% saying anything approaching being positive. For 0-Man it was 20% negative, Bushwhacker – 28% negative and Billery – 28%. Now Trump utterances and other antics certainly contributed to the ease of media being more negative, but in reality, the shock of losing their sure-thing, beloved Hillary presidency sharpened the pencils against the Honeymoon-less President.

Standing headline of the day: “Shootings Renew Call for Stricter Gun Controls.”

You may not have noticed, but with the absence of Michelle O in the White House, Cheetos is advertising the desirability of including their delightfully cheesy snacks in school lunches. Kids will certainly be happy again, but their homework papers may appear a little bit smudged.

Today is not the day for the Tids Editor to begin arguing against the inaccuracies in The Hill’s post massacre tweet.

Have you noticed yet the new, rising Super champ on Jeopardy? His name is Austin Rogers, he is a bartender and in just five days he has already won $188,780. He is kind of quirky guy, an aggressive bettor and pretty knowledgeable. And the has a sense of humor. He will be fun to follow.

Even the owners of Facebook are beginning got wonder exactly what they created. You have to think that Haley Geftman-Goldis is having second thoughts about this pervasive invasive social media. the same way. Next time she’ll pass her postings through the legal department.

The world in which Uber lives just gets weirder and weirder.

The Answer:
Well, the consensus seems to have the Indians and LA in the World series with LA winning on 5 of 9 ballots versus Cleveland’s 2 of 9 and Houston 2 of 9.. The Indians are picked to win the AL series on 6 of with Houston showing up on 3. LA is on 8 of 9 for the NL championship with Washington having the other. Only 2 of 9 have my Red Sox meeting the Indians. Today, 6 of 9 have the Ya, Ya’s beating the Twins, while tomorrow it is the Diamondbacks on 8 of 9 over the Rockies. Last year’s champs, the Cubs, lose on 7 of 9 ballots versus the Nationals.


That new Hyundai commercial with the twosome singing Sweet Caroline just makes me smile, and feel real good in a simple sort of way. But, this morn I saw something that moved me in a different way, the crowd just before the barrage of bullets singing, God Bless America.
