I have only just begun.

Our Destiny, politicians are politicians: 

 

 

“People say, ‘nothing is impossible’. But I do nothing every day.” --Winnie the Pooh 

 

Watch It! Today is the day big banks and financials begin to report earnings. Will they be signaling we’re heading to a recession. Or that we are already in it. Or, will they surprise us pleasantly. That’s the big bet on Wall Street today, and right now the money seems to be saying, think negative. Yikes. 

 

The crazies on both sides have to stop personal harassment protesting. The more lunacy enters into protest, the more people stop listening. The hypebole has been come horrifying but not nearly as distasteful as the personal attacks and insults.  

 

“The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits” --Albert Einstein 

 

Our intrepid linksters are out there now on the windswept shores of Scotland. They all say as one that they love the torture that Saint Andrews brings, because the victory there is so much sweeter. Amd of course, it is at the birthplace of Golf. The Open odds this mornign  from Vegas Insider have Rory winning followed by Xander and Jordan, and then Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, Matt Fitzpatrick, Shane Lowry, Justin Thomas, Cam Smith and at #10 Patrick Cantlay. Tiger Woods is about 33. My surprise picks are Sam Burns and Victor Hovland, 21 and 22 on the list. 

 

The Question: 

Who won the last five British Opens. (Note: It is really known as the “The Open”. But the Tids editors just try to define it for casual golf viewers. ) 

 

The Headlines: 

--Markets To Open Lower Awaiting Big Banks Q2 Reports. 

--JP Morgan Says Q2 Profit Fell 28% After Building Reserves For bad Loans; Crypto Leader Celsius Fies For Bankruptcy. 

--US and Israeli Leaders Unite To Deny Iran Nuke E Weapons; Biden Makes Holocaust Gaffe. 

--Dozens Of Virginians Unaccounted For After Drenching Storms. 

--US Tourist rescued After Falling Into Vesuvius. 

 

A basketball player named Damian Lillard of the NBA Portland Trailblazers just signed his new contract to stay with his old team. He will earn $57 Million this year and 63 million2 next year. Aah, loyalty. Everybody else in the country is worried about a recession. 

 

Too many people today can’t find housing they can afford. That is just a plain and simple fact. Buy luxury Jewlery stores are doing well 

 

“If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.” --Yogi Berra 

 

I think too many people in this country are beginning to think that the government can control private business. Starbucks announced the closing of several stores in dangerous areas of cities in order to protect employees and customers from potential harm. And there is this gigantic howl for Congress to get involved. And some are saying tye have been closed as retribution for union elections. Hey, business can close stores, move factories, make products out of the country if the union demands eat into the profit promises made to investors. Just take a look at decaying factories in old USA cities. Te last thing any real American would ever want is Congress running businesses. 

 

“Opportunity does not knock. It presents itself when you knock down the door.” --Kyle Chandler 

 

Changing stripes and spots, Department:  

In his campaign Prez Biden said, “Khashoggi was, in fact, murdered and dismembered, and I believe on the order of the crown prince. And I would make it very clear we were not going to, in fact, sell more weapons to them, we were going to, in fact, make them pay the price and make them, in fact, the pariah that they are. There’s very little social redeeming value of the — in the present government in Saudi Arabia.” This week Joe will sit an meet with the “Pariah”. In a Wapo (Khashoggi’s paper) Op Ed piece last week JB claimed his goal has always been to “reorient – but not rupture – relations” with Saudi Arabia. Note also that the Prez was firmly for reopening the Iran Nuke treaty until yesterday when he took a stance (A correct one) with Israel against Iran Nuke activities. The real point is that electing lifelong politicians gets you politicians and not statespeople and leaders.  

 

 

Aldi has some great prices and none are better than those for their great tasting Wavy Potato Chips. Aldi fans have f voted on their favored products and the three winners are White Cheddar Puffs, Strawberry Sparkling Water and Greek Honey Vanilla Yogurt with Blueberries. Also highly regarded are Mama Cozzi’s Pizza, Specially Selected ravioli, Emporium Selection Aged White Cheddar, Giamellino Peach Bellini, Organic EV OO, Fresh Strawberries, Fresh Atlantic Salmon, Kirkwood Fresh Chic Tenderloins and Heart to Tail dog treats,  

 

The Answer:  

Last yea rit was won by American Colin Morikawa. How fast we forget. Also on the 2010-2021 list we have Shane Lowry, Francisco Molinari, Jordan Spieth, Henrik Stenson, Zach Johnosn, Rory McIlroy, Phil Michelson, Ernie Els and Darren Clarke. And in 2010 Louis Oostuizen.. FYI” Tiger won back in 2006 and 2005. 

 

Age is of no importance unless you are cheese. 

 

Never stop chasing your dreams.
