SIGN COLIN KAEPERNICK

I don’t  agree with the stance Colin Kaepernick took by not standing for the National Anthem, but barring him from playing football is nonsense. Their ae black football players who display a fist when the Anthem is played displaying their disgust with the way minorities are treated today.

Don’t even try to tell me minorities are on equal footing with us white people. Football team owners are cowards; they are concerned as all rich people are, the bottom line.

The Baltimore Ravens are interested in signing Kaepernick as a back up to Joe Flacco who has an injured back but they are interviewing current and former players on the topic, including retired linebacker Ray Lewis. Bull Shit, Ray Lewis!!

Isn’t he the guy who pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice with the stabbing deaths of two men in 2000, both deaths remaining unsolved. Give me a break.

PETE ROSE STRIKES OUT AGAIN

Poor old Pete Rose, he can’t get a break, again by his own wrong doing. His Hall of Fame induction into the Phillies Hall of Fame scheduled for next week announced by the Philadelphia Phillies won’t happen because of recent events.

The “recent events” center on court testimony earlier this week from a Cincinnati woman, identified as “Jane Doe” filed a sworn statement in federal court stating she had a sexual relationship with Rose beginning in 1973, (44 years ago) when she was 14 or 15 years old. She said the relationship lasted several years.

Rose cannot be charged with statutory rape stemming from the allegations because the statute of limitations has expired.

Rose who was  given a lifetime ban from Major League Baseball, including the Hall of Fame for gambling on Major League games and his own team while managing for which at first he denied then years later admitted.

His excuse for the rape was he thought the gal was 16 which was the legal age in Ohio.

 

SESSIONS; WITH FRIENDS LIKE TRUMP….

Poor battered Attorney General Jeff Sessions who after a week of verbal insults by his boss the Make American Hate Again president must be thinking; “With friends like Trump, who needs enemies”. I give him credit for biting his tongue instead of lashing out at his boss.

Trump expects loyalty, but gives none in exchange. When Trump was at the bottom of the polls in the primaries, Sessions was the first and I believe the only U.S. Senator to endorse the jerk. Trumps campaign then took off with many southern governors endorsing him. Now the kick in the ass as thanks.

Sessions was not my choice for AG, not because of his political party, but as his positions on civil rights and segregation, but he was my AG and I had hopes he would pull a reversal on his positions as Lyndon Johnson did when he was elected president and had to represent all Americans not just his state.

Johnson’s new position cost the Democrats the hold on the southern states, but to me it was worth it. Now that they have power, the Republicans from those states are trying to reverse the civil rights movement and revert to the 60’s. Good old GOP, always looking forward.

 

I Rest My Case

After today’s story by the Washington Post stating our stupid leader Trump leaked critical classified information to the Russians i rest my case from my previous post.  I tell you the guy has monetary obligations to Russia. They own him.  He needs to be impeached. He makes Hillary look like a Saint.  

SHWED WINS BY NARROW MARGIN

LAUREL MAYOR John Shwed won reelection by his narrowest vote winning 83-72 over new comer Jeff Roberts, who co-chairs with his wife as directors of the Laurel Chamber of Commerce.

Roberts had been a residence of Laurel for two years but has been active in the community. Shwed has had opponents before but was easily elected each time. This was his closest contest.
