Political ramblings with an eye to the sky

Getting a quote a day email can be dangerous, but sometimes they are just what you want to hear.
"The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites'." Larry Hardiman

Latest polls show Hillary slipping a bit…. Democrats you better start thinking about this,, been warning you.

And the latest poll I read had the Republicans all bunched up. Or is this just saying the Republican Party is experiencing a wedgie.
And what is sad is how much time I spent trying to phrase this joke. hahaha

There was an article about Donald Trump and in it he states he has a store worth more than Mitt Romney. I have a piece of paper worth more in values than all of Donald Trump and his money.

And what can you say about FIFA? Well over the last few days it has been said. And where can Mr. Blatter run? Kind a tough being the head of an international organization, “no where to run, no where to hide”


There was an article in the news about the FBI having small planes to conduct surveillance around cities and towns. And then there is the renewal of the Patriot act. The internet is ablaze with people saying how we do not want this yet there is a certain few who just can’t seem to live without it. I wonder if Rand Paul knows his fight is somewhat Quixotic. I definitely wish him well, but he is not getting any help from his friends. I will save them some time and tax payer dollars spying on me. You can count me among the people that think this is fascism, not national security. How much do you need to collect to realize that most of us are more interested in watching football than anything else? Sheesh!

The amount of money wasted by our government chasing crap is unreal. If the Republicans truly want to rid of us government waste, quit spending my money chasing your paranoia. This country does have real enemies, but they are not the same as the Republican party’s enemies such as free speech; right to assemble; I would say free press, but they are already bought out, yet it would still be nice; petitioning the government for our grievances; and specifically for today” The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

You are in a plane, what!?!?!? your search warrant says everything for ten miles?????

There are a few other enemies of the Republican Party, but lets not forget everyone elected to National office and spying on us has taken an oath to protect our constitution. Do they read it? Why are we the criminals just because we care about our country in the correct way? I fear it is a Quixotic battle. I am still not voting for Mr. Paul though unless he wants to make some other changes.

I have a Mavericks obituary for this past season, but it all boils down to one item. And at this point it is spilt milk so I won’t do any name calling now.

Finally some sunny days here in North Texas. Water is still rising downstream a bit so caution there. We are starting to get into the more normal summer pattern for June: hot, humid, and a 10% chance of rain off and on.
