GREAT EXPECTATIONS
GREAT EXPECTATIONS
How about THIS stat…
55% of millennials expect an inheritance within five years, but only 22% of boomers plan to leave one. On top of that, most millennial payouts won't arrive until the 2040s (VISA Business & Economics)
HAHHAAH.. THAT is a communications lapse that is gonna lead to family strife .. In LOTS of families ..
This reminds me of one of my psychology professors from college. She polled parents at parent’s weekend anonymously. One question asked how many of them were still having regular sex. I think the result was like 65% said yes.. … She polled the college students in her classes .. “Are you parents still having regular sex” … and less than 20% answered, “Yes” .. (And then said, YUK !!) …HAHAHAHA…
Disconnected Realities, eh??? …
ANYWAYS…
IRAN: Blah Blah Blah .. Bombings … Blah… Straits of Hormuz .. BLAH BLAH…
I am NOT downplaying the seriousness of the situation… The USA is blowing up large parts of Iran and people are dying.. Which is awful .. It’s just .. The story keeps going and going when it was supposed to “end quickly”
and..
MICHIGAN: It looks like it’s the lettuce !!
If you haven’t heard .. infections of the parasite cyclospora have broken out in several cities .. The parasite is usually found on food and if you eat it, within a few days, you are on the toilet.. For a while .. like a week or more .. and the movements are “violent”
Michigan has more than 3,300 cases recorded and they think it is due to shipments of bagged lettuce and salad greens.
So.. WASH YOUR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES before you eat them .. and if you get salads for lunch at delis or fast food places … Maybe switch to hamburgers for a while.. Walk an extra mile or two to burn it off !!!
and…
SUPREME COURT: There were hearings yesterday discussing the budget for the Supreme Court. These are normally routine, but the budget increases for security became a main talking point.
Justices Kagan and Coney-Barrett told the Congressmen that the threats are escalating and becoming more and more common. In the scheme of things, it’s not a huge amount of money for the USA .. But, put yourself in these people’s shoes.
Every delivery… Every Amazon guy… Every pizza .. could be one of these kooks trying to kill them or their families. They need and deserve whatever money is necessary to have US Marshals and/or Supreme Court security .. It’s just a sad reality that we are here as a country…
IN DA SWAMP:
SHE IS IN .. Lindsey Graham’s sister Darline was sworn in to take his Senate Seat. She will serve until January when the Senator elected in November is sworn in.
The Graham’s story is extraordinary .. Their mother died of cancer in 1976 when Lindsey was 21 and Darline was 12. Then, their father had a heart attack and died in his sleep a year later. Lindsey became Darline’s legal guardian and raised her while he finished law school.
and…
It’s About Time ..
A bipartisan push to make Daylight Saving Time permanent is heading for a chamber-wide vote after clearing a key House hurdle. The House Rules Committee teed up a floor vote on the Sunshine Protection Act, which would allow states to enact Daylight Saving Time year-round — with an option to opt out. The committee approved the rule in a 6-4 vote.
Proponents argue that resetting clocks has negative health impacts, while permanent Daylight Saving Time would boost outdoor recreation, tourism and economic activity, among other benefits.
I hate the clock changes.. I am in favor of this legislation .. It’s about time.. (Get it.. see what I did there… is “About Time” ….HAHHAH)
and..
ICE has suspended doing “Car stops” for the time being… This is obviously to calm the tensions over the two recent shootings when the drivers would not stop.
Not sure how this one is gonna work… They just gonna follow the car until the illegals get out? The car runs out of gas? .. Trump supported the stoppage yesterday… But, this morning he is saying they should NOT stop the “Car stop” thing..
and..
Trump says the FBI investigating Lindsey Graham’s death is a “waste of time” .. I dunno .. It COULD be the heart thing that the doctor’s say .. or it COULD be made to look like that.. There are A LOT of people in Russia and Iran that hated Graham .. Whaddaya think?
SPORTS:
GOLF: The OPEN Championship starts tomorrow.. (Tonight if you live in the USA) .. Scheffler, McIlroy and Rahm still the favorites.. I don’t like the odds .. Kinda like this John Keefer kid to top 20 at +500 .. Former Amateur standout.. Turned pro 2024.. He finished 3rd last week at the Scottish.. Maybe I’ll wager $1
and…
MLB: The ALL STAR GAME: The American League wins the All Star Game .. Their pitchers recorded 15 strike outs in the shut out..
and..
WORLD CUP SOCCER: Spain advances to the Finals with a win over France 2-0 … France’s high powered offensive stars just never got it going against Spain’s defense..
TODAYS GAME: England vs Argentina … 3:00 EDT
CELEBRIDIOTS:
HANG IN THERE SULLY: Captain Chesley Sullenberger, the guy that emergency landed the jet on the Hudson river with no one dying, announced he has Alzheimer’s .. He’s in fairly good spirits .. and it’s early .. He forgets stories he just told, etc… But, he knows what’s coming..
and..
The “sequel nobody asked for” for Moana (The 2016 animated film) is out .. The “Live Action” Moana film.. and.. Well.. it cost $250 million to make .. and they spend $120 Million more to promote it .. and it opened to $43 million in the USA .. Sometimes these things linger and people keep watching.. So, if they get lucky .. they might ONLY lose $100 million .. Maybe they’ll make it up selling action figures ..
and..
Emily Ratajkowski sold her book “Mother F*cker” for a reported 7 figure amount.. It’s a “tell all” about how she got divorced and decided to go on a binge of sleeping with different men.. (Sadly, No .. Raj didn’t make that list) .. HERE … The book is described as, “an examination of modern female identity through her experiences as a newly single mother on the dating scene in New York City,”
Any of you gonna buy it? I mean.. I like to “examine Emily’s female identity” but I’m not sure I want to READ about it .. HERE.. HERE.
