We will have opinions, political and cultural highlights, my personal experience, social media details, even TV reviews since I watch so much TV while in my home jail.

MAJOR POLITICAL EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(another update)
Trump cancels Republican convention in Florida
You just know that President Trump has to be disappointed. One of his expected biggest events of the year, as I figure yon descendants, for Trump, who loves large adoring crowds, has to have been the Republican national convention. But Florida has one of these alleged "spikes" in the mighty virus that has captured the world and Trump would have been chastised had he held the convention despite.
Barr appears before House judiciary
-------------------------------------
I must suppose, yon descendants, that when you read this most of you will not have heard of AG Barr. To flesh out the background, Barr is, as of this writing, the country's Attorney General, equivalent to Holder, President Obama's AG.
Attorney Generals oversee the federal Department of Justice. They are in charge of all federal prosecutions and I add this item gently, care and protection of federal courts, offices and other buildings.
The problem with federal buildings of all kinds is that they must, due to such as gravity and physics, be located in some state or another. The biggest problem as of this hearing is in Portland, Oregon, where rioters and thugs have been attacking a federal courthouse in the city and greatly injuring federal agents sent in to protect the building.
The agents were sent in, under the leadership of Barr, to protect the federal courthouse. The agents have not interfered with other local buildings which as of this writing is being handled, here in Portland and all localities across the U.S., by the Mayors of the cities and Governors of the states of location. But when federal locales are attacked it is the duty of the AG-in the case of a federal court under siege-to enter the municipality where it is occurring and using properly deputized court agents to defend the property.
Here's hoping that when yon descendants read this the takeover of our cities by rioters, thugs and Marxists is over with procedures in place to properly handle avoiding it happening again. Know now that this horrible interview of AG Barr by rude interviewers who wouldn't even give the guy a break to go pee, was positively embarrassing.
The Democrats, in charge of this event as they have the majority in the House, threatened Barr with impeachment, accused him of sending storm troopers after the peaceful protesters in Oregon, asked about what he discussed with the president. And through it all, yon descendants, they wouldn't let the guy even answer their questions.
This is because there was no desire for him to answer any questions. The purpose of this joke of manipulation of our government was to get Democrat sound bytes out there that they can be used for what is, as of this writing, an upcoming national election.
But that is not all that Barr suffered during that grueling interview under the Democrat controlled House of Representatives led by Chairman Nadler. Those Democratic representatives were rude and ruthless, yon descendants.
Barr did a great job. Were I he I would have slammed my stuff down on the table, screamed at the a**holes calling me names, asking constantly to "reclaim my time", denying me a break to pee when Chairman Nadler showed up over an hour late.....and left.
It's a good thing he didn't yon descendants. The media would have been screaming loudly the next day "BARR SCREAMS AT REPRESENTATIVES AND LEAVES THE MEETING".
I watched the entire thing.
Not that I have a life or anything.
---------------------------------MAJOR CULTURE EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(one more update)
Olivia DeHaviland, Regis Philbin died
I am no great fan of either DeHaviland or Philbin but they are well known celebrities. Regis, in particular, is a darling of the daytime talk show, yon descendants, you all will probably know about him during your era.
And should yon descendants chance to see "Gone With the Wind" they will chance to see De Havilland. That is if the movie isn't pulled from the shelves as it's about slavery. Her
sister is Joan Fontaine.
Regis was born to host shows and he's hosted many shows. The most famous would be Kathy Lee Griffin. There were many more female co-hostesses and as far as I know Philbin didn't grope the females in his surround or otherwise misbehave.
May they both rest in peace.
PERSONAL NOTES FROM ME RE THE PANDEMIC
(that my descendants may know how I handled it)
Hurricane, Hairdresser Opens
Just a couple of personal notes yon descendants. There is due to be a hurricane next week, first around these parts this year. I don't like hurricanes but will report in next week.
It was announced, on Facebook of all places, that my hairdresser will be re-opening on August 8.
I look like Matlock, yon descendants. I am very excited about getting a haircut.

EDITORIAL
(My opinion for my descendants)
A Four Letter Word That Begins With an "F"
All my life I've played games. I remember, as a child, I'm pretty sure I had a father that played games from cards, to Parcheesi all the way to Candy Land. And even today I love games although there's quite a few electronic games now in the mix.
If I've learned nothing else you got to have established rules for the game and everyone must adhere to them. It's called being "FAIR" and it's a four letter word beginning with an "F".
The rest of America adheres to the doctrine of fairness, from our constitution that asserts all men are created equal to our sports games that have rules and referees that keep it all fair.
Our laws are based on a plank of fairness. If we earned our money we get to keep it in the pursuit of fairness. Should anyone take our money or property by unfair force they are punished by the word of the law.
Lately I note, sadly, that America no longer practices fairness with a dedication that used to be the basis. Men didn't compete in the same game against a woman because men are, by nature bigger and stronger. It isn't fair to the women. But today a man can assert he is a female and now real females are forced to compete against the opposite sex.
I wake up in the morning and learn that "peaceful protesters" have destroyed four city blocks thereby making the definition of peaceful unfair.
Recently there was a group of these peaceful protesters that broke through a legally built fence and threatened homeowners with all manner of mischief. The homeowners came out with what appeared to be firearms and warned the peaceful protesters away.
In the state where this happened it is perfectly legal for homeowners to protect their property and person if danger is obviously upon.
Both of these homeowners were indicted and scheduled to stand trial. The peaceful protesters suffered no punishment.
Where's the fairness in this? It's a law that homeowners can protect their property so that makes it fair. But suddenly a political party decides that their rioters and looters have a right to threaten people in their own homes and should the property owners fight back, THEY get arrested.
It's like playing Monopoly where the rules change when Joe over there lands on properties with hotels he does not have to pay rent. But should I land on a property with one little green house I should play double.
The cheaters on this planet, and please don't tell anybody I said this, are the Chinese. The Chinese practice the game of cheating when you get away with it. If Joe Blow wrote the book it is okay to submit his words for publication under your own name.
And the Chinese now practically run the planet. And the Chinese have influenced one of our political parties, through corrupt money given no doubt, to cheat as an honorable way to control the world.
I'm trying to wrap my head around this. Frankly I have no problem with cheating Chinese but when a political party based in my own country adopts that method of life I wonder what the hell happened to rules, the constitution, the concept of fairness.
Our Lord and Savior believes in the concept of fairness. It's not right to take another human's life and come judgement day hell awaits.
Unless we go to the gate of heaven and the door man is Chinese or Democrat.
Then it's how they decide where to send us as the mood or profit suits them.
