The little red headed Girl has moved away forever. Rats.

For resolve:

A lot of disappointment comes from not doing something about something you know you should have done something about.

Some Democrat observers are quietly saying that Bernie is in for a rude awakening when Hillary goes back on all of the promises she made to get him to go along. It’s what Clintons do.

A millennial tells me the highways will be much safer with automated driverless cars. Personally I will feel like I’m being herded a long like a convention of democrat sheep. And, that subjugation is not a pretty picture to this old hermit.

The Question:

The media biz will be interesting to watch following the departure of Ailes at Fox and the Purchase of Yahoo! By Verizon. Already Yahoo personalities Katie Couric, David Pogue and Joe Zee are getting itchy. And over at Fox, exec VP Michael Clemente has stepped down, and more execs are wondering what life at Fox will be like under Rupert and Lachlan Murdock. Stay tuned on this. MSNBC will be spreading malicious rumors. Hey they’ve tried everything else.

It is one of my favorite times of the year,

When fields of black Eyed Susan’s Appear.

The greenery now turned massive yellow,

Is the kind of sight that makes me mellow.

Did you see where the last VCR ever has been produced? I’d better go out and buy a couple of CD players, before my large CD collection becomes useless.

Barack Obama thinks the USA is in good shape now because Community Organizers like to promote angst.

Trump has tapped into the same audience who elected FDR four times. Dems will blanch at the suggestion that Trump is any way like their hero Franklyn Delano, but let’s face it, few of today’s Dems are like the real Dems of yore. FDR’s message was essentially against the liberal side who proposed and enacted free stuff that would be paid for by, what has been called by Yale’s William Graham Sumner, “The Forgotten Man,” the middle to low end of the economic spectrum, who pays for the liberal programs. It was this group then, and again today who have surprised the experts and algorithm manipulators. So, the more Hillary espouses free stuff, the stronger the Trump “Tired-of-it-all” crowd becomes. It is not about how stupid and crass Trump may appear or how dishonest Hillary is, it’ is about people sick of the BS. Few politicians ever see that.

The PGA Tournament begins on Thursday, an already some are deeming it the tourney for Spieth’s redemption. But, if you, as I, have been watching lately, there is just a huge amount of players who can win on any given day. I have to say that Dustin Johnson has never looked more relaxed, which translates into confidence. I’d have to put him in as the favorite. Speaking of confidence, how much more of a threat will be Stenson after breaking through in a major? Jason Day has looked less that #1 lately, so he has a real motivation. Baltusrol is one tough golf course dripping with history and spectacular moments. The betting odds for this week have Dustin on top followed by Rory, Jason, Jordan, Henrik, Phil, Sergio, Adam, Justin, Bubba and Rickie. Personally. I’d like to see Sergio holding this cup in a year of break-through wins. But, who knows, this golf course could be the real winner.

The Answer:

Charles Bonapart had nothing to do with his namesake in France. He put together a group of men that became the FBI.

The conventions are teaching me that I could really get along nicely without television.

See you all tomorrow.
