Enough Already

Every Time I turn on the news or look on Social Media, there is someone BASHING our President.
Did you hear the Election Was Over A Year Ago?   If you don't like the man, work to elect new Senators and Congressmen next year.  In 2020 find someone you like and work to get that person elected.  But to all the Liberal Democrats who spend Hours a Day posting Dozens of Anti-Trump stories on Social Media, STOP IT ALREADY!   For one YOU LOOK STUPID!  YOU LOOK BITTER and like a BAD LOSER ON THE PLAYGROUND!   All your posts do NOTHING but make your friends avoid you.  Nothing will change.  President Trump Does Not Care what you think!  He is NOT going to wake up one morning crying and decide to resign!

And as far as those calling to Impeach President Trump, it's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
California Congresswoman Maxine Waters, originally called for someone to do America a favor and  "Take Trump out"!   Once the Secret Service told he she could "Go to jail" for that type of talk, she now chants "Impeach 45" at EVERY EVENT she attends.   She was given an award last night and started her Stupid Rant!

Guess what Ms Waters, It's Not Going To Happen!   It takes a vote in the Congress first, which Speaker Paul Ryan has to allow on the floor.  Then it would take a Three Fourths MAJORITY in Both Houses to pass.  In a Republican Control Congress and Senate, the vote would not even be close.

What Congresswoman Waters is doing and those of you who spend countless hours posting Anti-Trump stories, most of which are Made-Up or Half-Truths, YOU ARE HURTING OUR COUNTRY!
Feel Lucky that you live in The United States!   In a MAJORITY of other countries around the World, you would have already been in Prison for many of the things which you have posted!  If not for our "Freedom of Speech", many Journalist would also be in Prison!
According to those who knew him, Walter Cronkite, A Staunch Democrat and Personal Friend of the Kennedy's, would be offended by the "Garbage" put forth by the News Media these days.

You want to know why Gun Violence has increased?  Look no further than the Nightly News and all the HATE being Reported, by BOTH SIDES!  It's the old adage, "Monkey See, Monkey Do!"
Do YOUR Part To STOP THE HATE!


I do NOT know how to address this problem.
This cartoon was published in the Men's Humor Magazine, but it is Not Far Off Base!  A Fifty Plus Year Old Allegation against Senator Roy Moore of Alabama and a Hollywood Scumbag Harvey Weinstein's "Casting Couch" antics started it all!  IT's A REAL PROBLEM which should have been addressed DECADES AGO but now it has Gotten Out of Hand!  Should Senator Moore withdraw from the election?  Yes!   But I do QUESTION what took these girls So Long to tell their story?   Former President Bill Clinton, has been accused MANY times over the years of RAPE!
But because he was a Popular Democratic President, the accusations have been Ignored and Laughed off!   But yet Republican President George Bush
has been Blasted for his "Alleged" inappropriate touching while taking photos from his wheelchair!   Of the DOZENS of Hollywood Stars and Politicians who have been named in recent days, over 95% of them are Republicans!  Are ONLY Republicans Perverts, Child Molesters, and Bad People?   Or is this the Mainstream Liberal Media in Overdrive to Discredit those who do not share their views?  It makes me wonder?

Speaking of The Mainstream Liberal Media.
Three UCLA Basketball Players were ARRESTED while in China for "Shoplifting Expensive Sunglasses"!
In China this is a crime which comes with a MANDATORY TEN YEAR PRISON LABOR CAMP! 
President Trump met with China's Leader while on his recent Asia Trip and asked him for "Forgiveness" for our American boys.  Something former President Obama NEVER did for our Men and Women in Foreign Prisons.   In a show of Good Faith, our athletes were allowed to return home.   UCLA has chose to "Suspend" the players from the team for an "Indefinite Period!"   You can bet that within the week the Liberal UCLA will have them back on the team as UCLA is ALL ABOUT THE MONEY their sports programs generate.   By NOT have these three Stars playing, people will quit attending the games!

Kudos to Fox News for allowing Anchor Shepard Smith, give his views on the current Uranium One Controversy.   If you have been following this story, Smith's views are opposite of the Fox News Channel's views.
This would NOT have happened on CNN, MSNBC, ABC News and most of the rest of the Liberal Mainstream Media.  Fox News has always said they are "Fair and Balanced" in their coverage.  This proves it!

Unfortunately, my health issues continue to deteriorate.   Without going in to it, as we all have our problems, there is Nothing which can reverse the issues and it will continue to get worse and worse.  Just in the past six months I have noticed a "Dramatic Change" and after consulting with my Specialist, she decided to Literately Double the dose of my main medicine.  The Upside is that it allows me mobility and reduces some of the pain I suffer twenty hours a day.

The Downside is the main side effect listed for the drug is "Depression, Increased Thoughts of Sucide, and Drowsiness which can affect your ability to Operate Motor Vehicles."     That usually would NOT be a problem except that my Wife Sharon is "Back East" for the next thirty to ninety days.
Don't worry about me even Thinking of Taking My Own Life as I overcame that Side Effect of this drug three years ago when I first started taking it.  I do NOT have any of those thoughts.   I have had to limit my driving to days when I fell 100% safe behind the wheel, which is about three days out of seven. 

Thank Goodness that "Domino's Pizza Deliverers"!  As do about twenty other places in my area. 
On a positive note, my Mind Is Good ( well, as good as it ever was ) and I wake up each morning and are able to Thank God that I am alive!

One of the things which I am "Thankful" for in not being able to sleep at night, is being awake every morning at 3:00am PST to watch "Mike & Mike" on ESPN!
Their show on ESPN2 Television, has kept me informed on the latest in sports and at the same time Made Me Laugh and Made Me Cry.  This Friday, the "Mike & Mike" show signs off for the final time as Journalist Mike Greenberg (left) and former NFL Great Mike Golic (right) end their almost 18 year run.  A LIFETIME in Television.  The Monday following Thanksgiving, Mike Golic will team with Trey Wingo and also his Son Mike Jr., to host a new show "Golic & Wingo".  Greenberg, will co-host a new "Morning Variety Show" live each morning from New York's Time Square starting in early 2018.   I am sure that "Golic & Wingo" will carry on in the morning tradition of Fun and Sports Information!  Trey Wingo, has always been one of my Favorite NFL Annalist on ESPN and seems to have a Great Relationship with Mike Golic.   You know they said that "60 Minutes" would never be the same once Mike Wallace left, but it has gone on to flourish year after year.  I see continued Outstanding Success for the new "Golic & Wingo" show for many years to come.    After all, Mike Golic has Grandkids he needs to pay their way through Notre Dame!  ( if you watch the show you will know what I am talking about )

And NO, I never got one of their Bobbleheads!  lol


I want to wish Everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!  For the 35th year in a row I will be spending Thanksgiving with my friend Tim from Ohio.  No matter where we have lived over the years, Tim has always made it a point to spend it with Sharon and myself.  For about the 4th time, Sharon will be away and so it will just be Tim and I having a Great Meal at one of our Favorite Las Vegas Restaurants.

Living in Las Vegas and now with OJ Simpson also living here, this Thanksgiving Cartoon just seems fitting.

I hope you and your family enjoy your special day.  And of course your Black Friday Shopping!

Friday Thoughts

I had to get some work done on my car so I dropped if off and when they called to tell me it was ready they said the could not send anyone to pick me up for about an hour.  I told them "That's OK, I will just take a cab".
So on the way I reached over the seat and tapped the Cab Driver on the shoulder to ask him a question.  The drive SCREAMED and Drove Up On The Sidewalk all in a panic!  I said "What was that all about?  I just had a question!"  He told me "I am sorry, I have only been doing this a week and you startled me.
You see my last job was driving a Funeral Hearse!"

Some Signs just say it all!


I live in an "Age Restricted" neighborhood which also has some Very Strict Rules when it comes to solicitors.  I even have a small plaque above my doorbell which says "Please, No Solicitors".
But it NEVER FAILS that about once a week a group of "Jehovah Witness" ring my doorbell!
And it happened again today!  I was taking a nap in my easy chair when "DING-DONG"!  I looked out the Peep Hole and sure enough, there stood a group of five JH's waiting to hand me a "Watchtower" when I opened the door.  To his credit, the Leader of the Jehovah Witness group apologized and said he will make sure I get put back on the list.

Don't get me wrong, I support and respect everyone's religious beliefs.  My wife's Niece and her family are Jehovah Witness, and yes if they rang my bell to hand me a "Watchtower" they would get the same greeting!  Maybe one day I will change my feelings when it comes to JW's, but I don't see that happening ANYTIME Soon as their beliefs are so Totally Opposite of mine.

*** For those who had previously read the above remarks, you know there was another paragraph about how I answer the door when a JW rings my bell.  I had a friend who was a Jehovah Witness who was "Offended" so I took those two lines out.   Someone else asked me if I would even answer the door that way if it was my Niece and her Husband?  The answer if yes, I would not care as previously stated. All anyone has to do is Show Up or Ask.  But I did not wish to offend anyone who reads this blog.


Have you followed this story about the lady who worked for a Government Contractor and when President Trump's motorcade drove by as she was on her bicycle, she Flipped Him Off!
Well, she got FIRED!   No one would have even known it was her if she had not put it as the Main Photo on her Facebook Page!  Seems besides being Disrespectful, she had signed this little thing called a "Morals Clause" which allowed her employer to fire her for posting distasteful photos!  I am so sick of hear people say, "It's her right!  Freedom of Speech" and on and on.  But it is NOT!  She signed a "Morals Clause" which allowed her Employer the right to decide what is or is not Distasteful!

I have gone back and forth with George Takei, you remember him as Sulu, from the Star Trek series as both the Legality and Freedom of Speech issue on this firing.

The first thing I want to note is just how RESPECTABLE both Mr Takei and I have been to each other when discussing this issue.  It's too bad that more Disagreeing People cannot be this Civil to the other's view.  While we both still do not agree with the other, I feel that I have made a solid acquaintance with this Legendary Actor.

I do not want to make this blog about politics but I give President Trump an "A+" for his Asian Trip and his continued calls to get the nukes away from the North Korean Leader.
Bar None, Kim Jong Un, is the Biggest Threat to the World than anything else like Global Warming, ETC!  If there is No World, we have No Need to Stop Global Warming.

Can you believe that "Black Friday" is just two weeks from today!
I already have a few things picked out to buy, but this is NOT one of them!
Something tells me this would be considered "Child Abuse" in most states?

Even though my wife is Back East until After The First of The Year, I Don't think I can AFFORD this Christmas Gift.
Maybe I should start a Go Fund Me Page?  Somehow I still don't think I could raise enough to make the purchase?

As I mentioned, for the Third Time in the last Ten Years, my wife is traveling to the East Coast and Florida for the next two months.  For the 35th year in a row, I will get to enjoy Thanksgiving Dinner with my Ohio Friend, Tim.

No matter where we have lived, Tim has joined us, and in a few cases, just me, for Thanksgiving Dinner.  For the 7th year in a row, we will enjoy the "All You Can Eat" Thanksgiving Meal at "Big Dog's Brew House" here in Las Vegas.
For Under $18 you get all the Turkey, Dressing, Yams, Mashed Potatoes and Pumpkin Pie you can eat!   And it includes your soft drink.  It is better than most Casino's Buffet's and about Half The Price!  Of course we both wished Sharon would be here but Business is Business.
It's not a shocker to see most Turkeys dressed in costume this time of year!

But even Dressed Up you still cannot take a Turkey to Church!
Seems they use......Wait for it.......... "Fowl Language"!
(Sorry)

Did you see where before he met with President Trump this week, Philippine Leader, Rodrigo Duterte, said he was a Gang Member as a teen and killed at least one person!
I hope they patted him down before the meeting!  Give President Trump credit for taking time to meet with him as Duterte called former President Obama the "Son of A Whore".  Needless to say, President Obama took President Duterte off his Christmas Card List!

Are you like me and SICK AND TIRED of hearing the Liberal Media attack the FLOUS Melania Trump over how Expensive the clothes she wears in public?
NEWS FLASH:  She Can Afford It!   Former First Lady Michelle Obama dressed in Expensive Gowns but you never heard any complaining out of the media.  The Big Difference is that Mrs Trump OWNS her own clothes where Mrs Obama had to Borrow hers.   Give me a F'N Break! 

Would you rather see her meet World Leaders in Wal-Mart Tennis Shoes and Sweatpants?

Little Debbie has sent SHOCK WAVES through the Snack Cake World by announcing the one of their "Snack Cakes" would be Discontinued!
By the end of the year we will say Goodbye to either

Christmas Tree Cakes
Nutty Buddy
Oatmeal Cream Pie
Honey Buns

How will America Survive?

My vote goes to eliminate either the Honey Buns or Nutty Buddy.  It would just not be Christmas with the Christmas Tree Cakes and the Oatmeal Cream Pies just MAKE YOU FEEL like you are eating Healthy, even though you are not!

This cartoon tells the Entire Story about Little Debbie eliminating one of their cakes.



And finally, This Week's NFL Picks!
I like Chicago over the Aaron Rodgerless Packers
The New York Jets over a Hapless Tampa Bay
And my Upset of The Week?
Buffalo over New Orleans

There is a "Good Chance" you will see many empty seats this Sunday as the Veterans have organized a "Boycott The NFL" for this weekend in honor of Veteran's Day.    The NFL has already experience Low Television Ratings and Poor Attendance this season due to the Players Kneeling before the National Anthem.  The Ironic Thing is the Kneeling started as a Civil Rights Issue and NOT an Anti United States Veteran Protest.  This weekend will be a "Real Test" of what American's Really Think!

Have A Great Weekend!

Church Shooter & Mental Health

The shooting over the weekend at the small church in Texas was nothing short of TRAGIC!  But several Politicians and Liberals who use Every Excuse they can to call for Gun Control are missing the point.
This was NOT a situation where Gun Control would have made ANY DIFFERENCE!  The Bigger Issue which needs to be addressed in MENTAL HEALTH!  Especially when it come to our Brave Troops returning from Service to Our Country.   This shooter was NOT some Muslim who had entered our country illegally, he was a Proud Service Member who had Mental Issues who was given a Dishonorable Discharge from the Air Force a few years ago.
He had Served His Country and once we "Dumped Him Due To Mental Health Issues", he had trouble dealing with life's little problems that Mentally Healthy Americans are faced with each day.  Finally, he snapped!   He did NOT get his weapons legally so Gun Control would have done NOTHING!

The Las Vegas shooter from five weeks ago has now been identified as a man with Mental Issues who had lost an Obscene Amount of money in the casino as well as a Non-Valid Lawsuit.  He decided one day to get revenge for his losing by taking over fifty lives on innocent people.   The Las Vegas shooter was offered Free Help to Stop Gambling, as is everyone who enters a casino in Nevada.  But his Mental Health issues where ignored, even as he continued to Legally Buy Firearms.

I have a Wonderful Cousin who is a Mental Health Professional and deals with people who need help each and every day.  I am sure for every ONE person she helps, there are HUNDREDS of others who for whatever reason, do not seek or receive help.  From speaking with her, I know being a Mental Health Professional is NOT EASY!  They deal with issues that you and I could never even imagine.  And you think that at 5:00pm they are able to just walk away and go home like everything is just peachy?  Think Again! 

As a Government, we are too quick to give our Returning Vets a Handshake and a Boot Out The Door when their service is complete.  We need to spend more money on things like Continued Help for our Service Men and Women.  Even if it is just taking time to pick up the phone and ask "How are you doing?" every week or two.

And what many did not notice was that President Trump was the First Politician to come out and call this person someone who was in need on Mental Help.  Of course that all got lost in the SCREAMS of Liberals and Hollywood calling for Gun Control!

Why, a YEAR after the election, are the Democrats and Liberals still spending their time "Resisting" each and every thing our President does?   Their are Websites, funded by Liberals, and Petitions, funded by Liberals, with A GOAL OF DOING NOTHING but WORKING TO MAKE OUR PRESIDENT FAIL! 

It is time to put all the "RESISTANCE" to an end and work to make our country SAFER and BETTER! 

I think the "Resistance" Democrats and Liberals are going to be SHOCKED when they are NOT RE-ELECTED next year.  Politicians have Lost Sight of why the people voted for them.  They were elected to SERVE THE PEOPLE who went to the polls to vote for them to vote on legislation the PEOPLE want.  Not what some Self-Center Party Leader who has an Agenda to RESIST EVERYTHING the other party wishes to accomplish. 

WAKE UP WASHINGTON!  The PEOPLE voted for you to SERVE US!  Not for you to bow to Special Interest Groups!

I think there is a "Silent Majority" out there who Supports our President and Supports many of the things he wishes to accomplish.  The elections of 2018 will be a RUDE AWAKENING for those Liberals and Democrats who have spent the past year doing nothing but "RESISTING".

Finally Some Indictments!

FINALLY, we have some Indictments in the On-Going Russian Investigation.  Paul Manafort, was indictment for amoung other things, Money Laundering.
It should be noted, there was NO EVIDENCE of ANY Russian Collusion by The Trump Campaign or the President himself!  This is a LONG way from being over and there may be additional people charged, including Top Democrats, perhaps even Hillary Clinton.

Actor Kevin Spacey, issued an Apology to an actor who claims Spacey "Sexually Harassed" him many years ago.  Spacey, used this opportunity to come out as being Gay, which I don't think really shocked anyone.
What did surprise me was just how quickly many of his friends have came out BLASTING His Behavior ( which is to be expected ) and distancing themselves from the renowned actor.    What is disappointing to me is just how quick your well known friends will turn on you to protect their image.   
Netflix, decided today to Cancel the series, "House Of Cards" which stars Spacey.

What happened to Loyalty and Compassion?

Speaking of Compassion, I have a Dear Friend who just cannot catch a break in life.  She Hates her job, her Finances are in Shambles and her Love Life does NOT Exist!
Here is a woman who is Highly Educated, Has A Professional Degree, A Wonderful Personality, A Great Sense of Humor, ( she can rival mine on a good day) and although I HATE using the One to Ten Rating Scales for someone's looks, I would rate her a SOLID Nine and Pushing a Ten on a good day.    So why can't she find the "Love of Her Life"?  Honestly, I think most men are WEAK and have a hard time accepting anyone who is "Better" than them.  Guys, there is NO SHAME or ISSUE in "Dating Up" or someone you feel is "Way Out Of Your League"!  Love is Love!

If there are any Single Men who feel they would like to meet my friend, drop me a line and I will put you in touch.


I have a good friend who is a Divorce Attorney.   I asked him one day, "Billy, why are Divorces so EXPENSIVE?"
He smiled and said to me, "Because they are WORTH it!"

I feel sometimes it is just your time to die.  A California Couple who survived the Las Vegas mass shooting five weeks ago have met a tragic end.
According to the California State Patrol, the pair died in a fiery crash just three weeks after the shooting.   There was another girl who died a week after the shooting, also in a car crash.

I was in California over the weekend.  I HATE LOS ANGELES TRAFFIC!
It took me AN HOUR to go FIVE MILES on Saturday in Los Angeles.  Where are people going?   Traffic was less congested in Hollywood through the "Tourist Portion" of the city near the Chinese Theater and Jimmy Kimmel Theater.
For those who will ask, No, I did not see Richard Simmons this trip.
But I may end up spending Thanksgiving in Hollywood seeing other friends.  Maybe I can catch up with him that trip?

Do you have things you Wonder about when you are doing Nothing?
Like

*     When one of my Ex-Wives told me "The Last thing I want to do is to Hurt you", I should have Realized that Hurting me was STILL on her list!

*     We Never really Grow Up!  We just learn how to Act In Public.  Well, at least Some of us do!

*     Why do people say "Sex is the answer."  Sex is the Question!  The Answer is "Yes"!

*     When I think of the idiot in North Korea I realize that War is Not what determines who is Right!  It actually determines who is Left!

*     Why do we Invite people to our parties that we Honestly hope do not show up?

*     The old saying goes, "Money cannot buy happiness".  True, but it could make life a lot easier to deal with!


Do you ever see an Interesting Stranger in a grocery store
And want to go up to them and Introduce Yourself?   As a rule I am a very shy person, but I have done it a few times.  You may be surprised what happens.


Help Me Understand?  How is it that I have Hundreds of people I do Not Even Know Following me on Twitter?
Honestly, I am "Flattered" as I know most of them read my blog.  If you are NOT Following me on Twitter, feel free to do so at
@itsdano

Why do those who continue to Resist EVERYTHING President Trump does, do things which HURT the American people?  The President has proposed a Tax Overhaul which will LOWER Taxes for EVERYONE!
This has caused the Stock Market, and Most American's "401K's" Skyrocket!  But the Resistant ( The Democrats ) continue to spread lies and rumors about the President's plan which THEY HAVE NOT EVEN READ!  Why?  To RESIST everything the President does.  President Trump could Cure Cancer and the Democratic Resistance would find a way to Block It to keep the President from success!   Give the man a chance!  The Silent Majority Elected Donald Trump, and the Silent Majority will VOTE OUT any Senator and Congressman who Resists the President. 

COUNT ON IT!




Did you hear the ASPCA has Filed Charges against a blind man for Bungee Jumping?
The man "Loved It" but the Dog was scared to death!
Well, it could have been true!


I was not able to go to any Halloween Parties as I was in California visiting friends.  The Number One costume for the ladies this year?
You guessed it, "Wonder Woman"!  I had a friend dress as Wonder Woman and she looked MUCH BETTER in her homemade costume then this $200 outfit. 
No matter what you do tonight, even if it is just handing out candy, BE SAFE!

So Much Talent In Vegas

I know it has been a couple of weeks since my last blog.  I have been under the weather big time but am feeling better.  I also have an appo...
