Some more random thoughts

My University of Georgia Bulldogs welcomed the University of Texas into the Southeastern Conference going into Austin as an underdog against the number one team in the country and winning 30-15 despite the best efforts of the referees. In addition to the outrageous overturning of a pass interference penalty I counted at least three holding calls and one hands to the face call that were missed. There were also two video reviews that went against the Dawgs despite evidence to the contrary. The pass interference call was overturned after the Texas fans showered the field with bottles and assorted litter leaving the impression as Kirby Smart noted that the referees “tried to rob us.” He also said “But I will say now we have a precedent that if you throw a bunch of stuff on the field and endanger athletes, that you’ve got a chance to get your call reversed.” Sic’ em.

I am sure that he will be fined. The SEC fined Texas $250,000 for its fans’ demonstration. $250,000? You have got to be kidding. That’s probably what they pay their back up punter. If the SEC had any guts it would have fined them $1 million plus docked them 3 scholarships. Don’t mess with Texas?

The University of Tennessee beat Alabama. The Vols’ fans ran onto the field demonstrating that they must have thought it was a fluke. I wonder if Alabama fans ever storm the field? 

Did you see Trump’s interview at the Economics Club of Chicago? That interview should be enough to convince people to vote for him. That Harris declined their interview is no surprise. If she had agreed, her performance would have been worse than Biden’s at the debate and she would lose the election in a landslide. Trump was asked tough questions about the economy, about tariffs, foreign affairs and domestic social issues. He answered them all without equivocating or being evasive. He may be a bully, a cad and amoral but in this election, he is better for the country than Harris. If Harris were subjected to exactly the same set of questions, her responses – or lack thereof – would frighten even her supporters into considering to vote for Trump.

I didn’t think Bret Baier was rude to Kamala Harris just because he kept trying to get her to answer his questions. I actually thought he kept throwing her soft balls.

Isn’t it amazing that she has still not held a press conference and the media is letter her get away with it?

Only the blind could ignore that Trump and Vance will agree to be interviewed by anyone with a microphone while Harris only talks to Oprah and the View.

The democrats are campaigning only on abortion and Jan 6 saying that Trump wants to be a dictator. They are also running ads in Georgia saying that Trump wants to cut social security which is a lie. Trump has repeatedly said that he will not cut social security.

As to being a dictator, isn’t that what Joe Biden has been, ruling the country by executive order and having his administration enact an agenda opposed by the majority of Americans?

Democrats actually love dictatorships if they are the dictators. All their efforts to establish one party rule shows that for a fact. They want to abolish the Electoral College, they want to pack the Supreme Court, they want statehood for Puerto Rico and DC. All would entrench the democrats as the majority party and let them impose their dictates on the rest of us. Isn’t that a dictatorship?

Harris did not go to the Al Smith dinner. Along with her stance on abortions, one wonders why Catholics would vote for her.

What happened to all those stories about Harris being difficult to work for and having high turnover in her staff? Did all of a sudden, she became a wonderful sympathetic boss?

Harris is trumpeting that economists say that Trump’s economic agenda will be more costly than hers and have a higher rate of inflation. Trump was asked about that in the Chicago interview. He rightly stated that those economists did not take into account that his program would create more economic growth and was not a simple add on to the existing economy. I wonder how Harris would have handled such a question. Another word salad?

Trump going to McDonald’s and working in the drive though was brilliant and funny. One wonders why the Harris camp didn’t do it first since she claims that she once worked at McDonald’s during college?

Apple News loves Costco. Every day there are several stories on Costco and occasionally one on Trader Joe’s. I have yet to see one on Sam’s Club (which I prefer to Costco). I guess Sam’s does not have the hip left coast cache of Costco and Trader Joe’s. Strange. So they are being ignored despite the Walton heirs all being guilt ridden democrats.
