There are no coincidences in politics



Today's Tids Issue 3,633
For worms:

After I sent out yesterday’s July 4th Tids, I walked  a few steps down the street to the park where a band was playing patriotic songs in anticipation of the annual reading of the Declaration of Independence, from the same balcony where it was first read in 1776. I looked across a smiling, proud group of Americans from many different ideologies, who were all similarly content in enjoying the importance of freedoms’ message and a citizenry’s determination. It reminded me how unified this country could be without the divisive Politicians and their unctuous media consultants.

Last week’s financial rally wasn’t signs of a boomlet, but merely a reversal from the over hysterical selling after Brexit. So, the market is even. Going forward now into reporting season, will there be enough profits to support a real rise in stock prices. And will the global economy be able to get out of its own way and show signs of life to support a market upside? Brexit may contribute to a sluggish world economy over time, but the effect on the market today is over.

No Orange jumpsuits?, Department:
New Flash: FBI’s James Comey says Hillary was sloppy, careless, reckless and used bad judgment; gave evidence that she did not tell the truth when she first answered that she never saw a classified email -- but she was not a criminal. Isn’t it odd that this FBI chief said this (And, that there was no outside influence on his department) to a national audience at that very moment when Prez Obama was flying to Hillary’s side to begin his political campaign with her?

The only hope for Trump is that the Repubs too embarrassed by his antics to say they support him, will actually vote for him when inside the secrecy of the voting booth, and then lie about it to pollsters and friends.

The Question:
Exactly 70 years ago today, women were inspired to reveal their belly buttons and more at the beach.  Who invented the Bikini bathing suit and where was cloth saving fashion choice first revealed? Bonus: The actress who portrayed the first ever Lois Lane on screen died last night. Who was she?

The Headlines:
--FBI Takes Pressure Off Hillary campaign; Gives Trump Fodder For Advertising.
--US Stocks Open Lower; Continuing Downward Trend n Frts 20
NASA Space Probe Juno Sends Message From 540 Million Miles Away; “I Am In Orbit Of Jupitor.”
--Multiple Bombings Across Saudi Arabia Not Claimed By An=y Terror Group; Pakistan man Suspected At First Explosion.
HUD Secretary Julian Castro Strong Possible VP Candiate for Hillary.
--New USAToday/ Suffolk U Poll Has Hillary Lead Down From 11 Points To 5.5; “Dump Trump” Forces Likely to face Defeat at Convention..
--US Student Found In Rome’s Tiber Rivers Said To have Been Murdered; Homeless Man Held As Main Suspect; $1500 Charged To Victims Credit Card In Milan.
--New Numbers Showing That Gambling Pays Out Less Than States Expected.

While the world was rejoicing at victories over IS military forces, the terrorist group brain trust seemed to be shifting strategies to random bombings around the world. This has to be one of the craziest wars ever fought, and one of the more dangerous for the average person. It is now you see em’, now you don’t gorilla war.

There are going to be more and more frequent reports on the expansion or shrinking of the Hillary lead over Trump. The problem is that regardless of the two combatants serious discrepancies, the Hillary natural Democrat voters are not leaving at the rate of Trump’s Republican natural voter’s. Trump is forced to find voting constituencies which may never have before existed.

The more people learn of your favorite get-away special places, the less of a special place it will remain over time.

While I truly feel that basketball in both colleges and pros was better when kids stayed in school until graduation, it’s hard to convince a talented player that he’s hurting himself when the current free agent salary offers are averaging about $20 million a year. That goes from the $7.5 Mil for the great but personality challenged Rondo to the 31.3 million per for Al Horford. Rocket scientist – NBA player…Hmmm?

The gossip reporters are having a lot of fun with the Gwen Stefani -Blake Shelton relationship.

Is there an ounce of moral fiber in a political media consultant?

I have never seen so many open ends at the final episode of a TV series than I saw last night at the end of Bloodline. Nothing really ended, but lots began for next year. The plot holds you, but it is among the darkest appearing series of them all.

I think what I dislike most about the 4th are the people who think it is fun to set off really loud firecrackers after 11:00.

The Parking Lot: Chapter 66 continues…
    The first to arrive at the side of McGuire was a obscure appearing man who had been walking in the parade behind the US congressman. The panic covered his entry and blocked police from getting there fast. The man quickly slipped a cell phone out of the inside breast pocket and left, shouting, “We need help here, Get help….!”
     The bands ahead kept playing and marched on while the spectators qt the scene stood silently, eyes wide. The man slipped through now loosened crowd and up a side street to is car. He sat in the front seat and pulled out the phone. The last call was about five minutes ago, and there was a message: “We are delayed.” The man knew why they were delayed, but was it at the island or soemothe hiding place.
  He took out his  phone and texted, “Search the island carefully.”
   He received an instant reply. “The island was a bust. We’re heading home.
   “Go back.”. Then he stopped before sending and dialed a number. “Hello, came an almost immediate response.
   “Listen,” said the man, “turn off the engine, first let it slow down gradually and then turn it off.” Throw over an anchor and watch the island for about a half hour.
   “I’m hungry.”
   “Eat me,” said the man.

The Answer:
Louis Reard first revealed more of the bathing women at a Paris fashion show. Bonus: You have to be a real Trivia King or Queen to know that Noel Darlene Neill was the First Lois who stole Superman’s heart. I know I saw her play opposite George Reeves, but I don’t remember nothing. All I remember is that Reeves looked flabby and underwhelming compared to my image of the Man of Steel. Worst ever job of casting.

You have to believe that FBI Director James Comey had his fingers crossed when he said this episode is closed. I guess he wasn’t talking about the can of worms that just opened.

Take a nap Joe Biden.
