Happy Friday! Betcha didn’t think you’d make it through this week. Congratulations!! We made it and can hopefully have a relaxing weekend to get us ready for the next week. As I sit here writing, I’m listening to Oscar Peterson, one of the greatest pianists of all time with Ray Brown on bass. It isContinue reading “April 11, 2025”

Wow!! Ziggyman should go out and buy a lottery ticket. I made a prediction on the blog Monday that by the end of the week there would be a retreat from the tariffs announced on “Liberation Day.” This was what I wrote, Trump is a narcissist and seeing his favorability numbers plunge from even MAGA’s;Continue reading “April 9, 2025”

Happy Monday and Happy Birthday to John Prine. RIP. Hope you had a great weekend doing whatever felt good – golfing, marching, golfing, protesting, golfing. You get what I’m talking about here. If not, here goes. While many folks in the United States of America were protesting the actions of DOGE, Elon Musk, and PresidentContinue reading “April 7, 2025”

I wasn’t going to write today after sitting in front of the telly with CNBC on all morning, watching the stock market drop, drop, drop, and then drop some more. But hey, I’m a big boy so I’ll pull my pants back up and ramble for a few. No, Donnie, I’m not feelin’ the ‘liberated’Continue reading “April 3, 2025”

Happy Fool’s Day! I was going to start with a big, big, really big “Breaking News” announcement for April Fool’s Day, but after seeing people being snatched off the streets by masked Gestapo agents and people mistakenly sent to the prison in Salvador, I thought it best to forgo joking around about a certain thin-skinnedContinue reading “April 1, 2025”

We came to the beach house yesterday and on the way down I turned on MSNBC on Sirius XM in the car. Whatever program I was listening to jumped back and forth between JD Vance in Greenland and Trump in the oval office. My, oh my. Now I know why Trump kicked out reporters fromContinue reading “March 29, 2025”

Back on March 14th I wrote about some MAGA voters suddenly having “buyer’s remorse” as they are beginning to feel the effects of this administration’s policy decisions. Decisions that were both forecasted and, for the most part, politically supported by those who are now suffering the consequences. The theme of that post was that electionsContinue reading “March 26, 2025”

OMG! I first wrote about DJT putting together a ‘Kakistocracy’ (government by the shittiest) in Mountain Man Musings on November 21, 2024 and expanded on that several times in subsequent postings as he added either inexperienced or incompetent people to Cabinet positions of his administration. Today, I rest my case, your Honor. What we justContinue reading “March 25, 2025”

Happy Friday! I should be taking a nap after getting up early the past 2 mornings to take the missus to her cataract surgery #2 and the post op this morning. Everything is good, other than the pouring down rain. The traffic this morning going up the mountain was steady car after car. Spring BreakContinue reading “March 21, 2025”

Happy “Hump Day.” Well, we’ve made it to the middle of the week and, other than continued chaos, we haven’t had to jump into bomb shelters yet. You will be surprised by me on this one, but I’ll give Elon a “high five” for having one of his SpaceX shuttle capsules bring the two astronauts,Continue reading “March 19, 2025”
