More to come.

 

 

Today's Tids Issue 6,135 

Unbelievable: 

 

It's the last day of August. You don't have to read Tids to know that, but starting the obvious is lifeline thrust of many an opiner. And the reader, viewer, listenership is comprised by audinces who have a proclicity to a particular brand of obvious. So, yeah it is the last day of August and for some reason that always gives me hope.  

 

Trump is using once again his favorite weapon against the freedom of the press – The FCC. This time it is against Krestin Welker because of a news segment the presiident didn’t like This threat follows Hegseths sacking of the editor Publisher of Stars and Stripes. I’m only reporting what I read in media, but if this drip, drip, drip of media attacks is true, then I'm more worried about America than ever before.  

 

This just in: They have a renamed Canada Geese, Donald's Ducks! 

 

We went to a longtime favorite corn stand yesterday and their ears that looked good and robust were old and tired when eating. That's a disappointment. But, overall, this has been a first-rate delicious corn season. 

 

Photons have mass? I didn't even know they were Catholic. Yeah that;s corny/ 

 

The Question: 

What were emojis called before the dawnig of intelligent civilization? 

 

The Headlines; 

--US attacks Iran for Forst Time in Weeks; All Markets to Open Lower and Continue thorugh the Day; Techs Lethargix. 

--One Dead and Up to 15 Missing After Flash Flood Roars through Grand Canyon.  

--Race against time in Nepal as Teams Try to FInd Missing. 

-- 

Maybe I like Corn season because I find a lot more jokes for your ears. 

 

Don't you wish there was a way to write aletter to everybody you have ever met and enjoyed duribg  life to say I have never forgotten you. Them be able to put it upon the internet wwhich would find every living person, and they would smile for a minute while reading,   

 

In Case you missed it, this just past earnings season was one of the best in years. Compnaies are making money. But if it's not trickling down its not working and that is where bad political ideas get a boost. 

 

Apple's Tim Cook steps down today. A lot of people thought Apple would be doomed without Steve Jobs but Cook added $4Trillion to investro coffers while he was there. The next CEO must guide Thiem through the AI wat=rs.  

 

Sitting on that Clancy jury has to be a tough jobfor these average citizens. They have five choices they must weigh – not Guilty. Not Guilty by way of Insanity, First Degree Murder. Second Degree Murder. Manslaughter. And emotions on this are off the charts. A lot o people can't understand the support by people outside thr Courthouse for a woman wh oappretly methodically strangled innocents with her bare hands. But despite horror of the act, is it first degree murder? That is really the main question. To this amateur it is either that or Guilty by insanity. Any mother who personally ends the life of children must be suffering from soem mental breakdown, Yet, some like Susan Smith are sent to prison for life. What ls the difference. 

 

How many Americans just wake up each morning and begin shaking their heads slowly side to side as the news rolls in, What now? 

 

The biggest political promise pipedream this year is affordable housing,  

 

My Red Sox dream took a step backwards as the were beaten by that Bronx team by a combined score of 25-3 in the last two games. When I see that I remembr that's what we thought we were in the early summer.  

 

In about a week and a half the Tids Pickers will be back, W How great is that, 

 

The question for the ages – why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes? 

 

The earth is an ongoing living, breathing mass of rock and magma beneath the surface, and it has been that way for eons. It does what it wants to do. It seems active now more than in my lifetime. Social media probably can't control it. 

 

While Warsh in his inaugural Fed speech said a lot, he didn’t give us much on the future, even as the Inflation number continues hot with respect to Fed guidelines, Now WS is guessing. WS hates guessing. 

 

The Answer: 

Hieroglyphic's! 

Happy end of August, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!! It wasn't quite as uninteresting as in the past.
