Don Baylor died; tornados in Delaware?; Coal on North Korea sanctions list, unanimous
===================
I was paused when I heard that former Baltimore Oriole Don Baylor died, only 68 years old.
My mind raced for the memory and sure, Don Baylor played right field for the O's, a dependable player showed up every day and played with finesse and talent.
Don Baylor, famous Baltimore Oriole, may he rest in peace.
--------------------
Since everyone's on vacation not much going on politically but we did have some tornados touch down in little ole Delaware right before I write this.
We have had tornados in Delaware, often little "Dust Devils" spinning sweetly on the side of the road.
I remember one year when a hell of a hurricane roared through Delaware, right down the road from my house.
-----------------------
North Korea has been put on sanctions by the United Nations, by a unanimous vote, no less.
This creep Kim Jung-Un needs to be in the crosshairs of a sniper and boomb…boomb. End of the guy with the worst haircut on the planet.
And no brains.

North Korea Acting Up
===============
Below a quote:
<<The new analysis completed last month by the Defense Intelligence Agency comes on the heels of another intelligence assessment that sharply raises the official estimate for the total number of bombs in the communist country’s atomic arsenal. The U.S. calculated last month that up to 60 nuclear weapons are now controlled by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Some independent experts believe the number of bombs is much smaller.>>>
----------------------
Kim Jung-Un is a fat slob of a turd with the world's worst haircut.
Evidently he is in the business of developing nuclear weapons with China and Iran his main customers.
Now he shakes his fat fists and vows to nuke America….in, of all places…GUAM!!!
Seriously, Guam?
Well whatever cause all this guy wants is more money and free food cause he knows he's got the west by the gonads.
South Korea sits nearby and that now vibrant and growing country could get blown to the ashpile.
Japan also sits close and heh, who knows, Kim Jung-un might decide to lob some nukes to China.
The UN agreement to put strong sanctions on North Korea has Kim Un all upset.
I might have tongue a bit in cheek here but this guy is dangerous and what's the deal with one silly little dictator holding the whole world in its bad decisions?
Someone needs to put Kim Jung-Un in the sight of a sniper rifle and end the problem of him being alive.
Threatening to nuke America….not a good idea.

North Korea keeps up threats, President Trump guilty of threatening Kim Jung-Un.
-----------------
Had my nails done yesterday by an immigrant from Vietnam. Goodness I told him my experience with Vietnam, to include singing in the rain, protest, and a first husband who went to Canada to avoid being drafted.
The fellow told me how his parents saved and scrimped and worked so he could come to America.
Anyway, it was quite an interesting hour.
Me and the Vietnamese manicurist did discuss the fat little dictator from North Korea with the world's worst haircut.
"China!" the South Vietnamese guy shouted (seems the North Vietnamese are still the enemies). China is the source of all problems in that area "Steve" told me.
Heh.
Steve told me about the awful NorthVietnamese, the Russians, the awful Chinese and he thinks someone needs to blow Kim Jung-Un off the map.
Now we have liberals all over the place mad at Trump for daring to say that America will pour fire and fury down upon them if they dare to soar nukes to the American territory of Guam.
Why does that statement make the little snowflake pussies get all upset?
I read the wisest words of all somewhere recently, forget where, forget by who.
But it you keep threatening to kill people at some point they are going to believe you.
It ain't rocket science.

Raiding Montafort's home, the Mitch Mcconnell flap.
-----------------------
So the FBI conducts a pre-dawn raid into former Trump campaign manager, Paul Manafort.
Why?
For sure Manafort has a lawyer of his own so I must assume this matter has been handled legally.
But somebody sure wanted us to know about it because it happened in late July of this year.
Are we to be scared?
---------
If I had to name one of the two dumbest political things done this past year, number one be that NJ Fatso plopping his big butt down on a lawn chair on a private beach when he had already shut down such private beaches controlled by state government across New Jersey.
The infamous Mitch McConnell comment about having a president who does not know what he's doing is the number two in stupid political action in 2017.
For the record and for a smile, appointing that Anthony Scaramucci as Communications Director was one of the top ten of this category.
So McConnell tells a meeting of his constituents that Trump is just not up to snuff and lacks experience.
Of course that's what they all think. And they are sniffing with disdain.
But the citizens of McConnell were not amused and it sure made talking points across the fruited plains.
Heh.

Diana, a tragedy waiting to happen
---------------------
Seems the tragic anniversary of Diana's death is coming up soon and since all the politicos are on vacation telling their constituents how awful President Trump is, thought I'd offer my thoughts on Princess Diana.
First, during Diana's several years of fame and attention I was very much the sort of female who followed her life.
I am somewhat of a fashion fan and on this, Diana was one to watch. Just a hobby, an interest, she liked it too judging by her flair for fashion.
As for Prince Charles and the babies, well I am an American and such as royalty didn't interest me all that much. But how could one ignore?
Even now I pay attention to Prince William, his lovely and classy wife who doesn't encourage paparazzi to follow her everywhere, and their two adorable children.
What's the REAL true story of Princess Diana? Because I will provide in few words.
She was a very pretty 19 year old woman, very fertile, nubile and would produce healthy heirs.
Prince Charles had been in love with that Camilla woman forever but she had been married, already had kids, and didn't mean the silly British unwritten rule of appearing to be virginal.
I'm pretty sure Diana knew that Charles only wanted her to produce and heir and a spare. In fact I've seen her quoted saying such a thing.
Charles is now married to Camilla so we know it wasn't fake. Diana was but a young woman but she knew why Charles chose her. It was obvious those two didn't even like each other. And trust me, I go around that Prince Charles person should he ever cross my path because by me he's a liberal dumb bell.
So Diana gets all these male lovers, to include the Hewett and the Doctor Khan. Turns out Princess Di was quite the stalker.
In short she was a childish, silly woman who created an image of herself that almost worked.
Until she met up with Dodi Fahid and talk about a loser. This guy had not one thing going for him except a rich father.
Indeed it was often Diana herself who called the photographers to tell them where she was going to be.
All the boo-hooing about nosey photographers makes me smile. Diana was a total nobody without that paparazzi.
She hops into a car driven by a drunk, no seatbelt, and the inevitable happened.
It's not that Princess Diana deserved a happy and fulfilled life. But she made a lot of those choices herself and they were, how to say this kindly? Really bad choices.
Steve was of course correct. China is pulling the Nork strings.
On Don Baylor:
My first wife was from Massachusetts and when I was stationed in Wash DC we used to go up to watch the Red Sox play in Memorial Stadium in Baltimore.
This was in 1986 when the Red Sox were very good and went to the World Series (only to lose to the Mets after they had it *almost* in the bag!). Don Baylor then played for Boston and was one of the big reasons they did so well that year.
So I can say I watched Don Baylor play in Baltimore BUT it was with another team!
