Election 2026

   Don't forget to vote: November 3. Is it legitimate? Yes, but don't believe the doubters-Republicans/MAGA scum. 

Where are the Ukrainian Children

    So, missiles rain down on Kyiv. Civilians die. Winter is around the proverbial corner. Starlink systems are being choked by Musk(he denies this).  But is anybody asking about the thousands of children kidnapped and forcibly removed from their homes at the start of this war?

     Shortly after the Rus Army invaded eastern Ukraine, Rus agents began a sweep of towns and villages to gather up as many children as they could find. It did not matter if the parents protested, they were shot and killed or left for dead after the takeover. These little helpless victims were sent back to Russyan territory(the largest state in the world) where they were placed in institutions until families could come and grab a few. The Rus State-Kremlin state would then allocate quotas of support for the stolen/kidnapped children so they could be properly Rus-ified(converted to proto-Communists.

     Nothing has been heard from the EU on the issue. The missiles continue to fall; Ukraine asks for more drone support from the EU. sTump says its ok to use Rus diesel.

     What does the Orange-haired baboon say about the children? Nobody knows. 

Oh My: Los Angeles Dodgers Go Down-Again

       There's no joy in SludgeVille today. Even the army of homeless folks whoo populate the vast street network of Los Angeles are packing  their meager belongings(shopping carts, old TV's, discarded clothing, filthy pots and pans; castoff detritus of every description; half -eaten food stuffs, old sleeping bags, newspapers(for warmth), a magazine or two, and the usual baseball bat used against I.C.E. and other vagrants.

     The home town fans who love Dodger Blue are into heavy drinking, again, as their beloved homers are on the brink of being dumped from the World Series 2026 race. They have lost 3 games in a row. Theyhave lost 3 Games in a row. What an embarrassment :who does that and calls themselves a contender-maybe the Los Vegas team, or San Diego. But not the storied Dodgers formerly of Brooklyn, NY.

     Even 1st baseman Freddie the Freeloader Freeman has been in a slump. Where is Ohtani? Where is Ohtani? Where is Ohtani? NObody is talking. Where is Mookie Betts? LA needs anew coach, that is sure.  What will the owner say when this debacle is in the books? Nobody cares what billionaires say or do unless they are Elun MAsk.

    One more game before the Dodgers go home(oh, they are home).

No more 3-peat rumors, please. As the homers laughed and greeted the change in the lead, they screamed in support. And then-the boys from Milwaukee came back from ther dead hitting 2 homers in a row off of---------Mr. Snell, former great pitcher for LA. He stinks up the yard with a terrible performance worthy of boos and hisses.  Go home; you will not pitch anymore this season, anywhere, 

Milwaukee 6, Dodgers 2

Brewers lead 3-0. 

Milwaukee Brewers Punish Dodgers

       So, sports fans, did you see this coming:  Dodgers lose two in a row to the Brewers in best of 7 league championship series. Shocking.

     Pundits are asking: WHy is Ohtani not on the bench? The player is obviously hurting. Put in a healthy player and look for better outcomes. Keeping him in the lineup tells us you are losing hope. The next pitcher has a lot on his arm in the next game. If L.A. lose a 3rd game in a row- look out: trouble a "brewin'. 

Agriculture and Diesel: Bound Together

       So, the price of diesel fuel continues to rise.  WHo needs diesel anyway?  Is your car runiing on this fuel type? Do you arrive at the filling station looking for the single green hose? Of course not; and you pity those pickup drivers who need diesel to feed the beast under the hood.

     But many others needs this fuel, and many of these 'others work in agricultural production from beginning to end. If you are farming or ranching, your operation depends on a ready supply to run the tractors, harvesters, pickers, shredders, seeders, and all the haulingn units needed at the market end of cycle.  Quite a bit of the cost goes to fuel requirements or diesel. So, as the cost rises, profits diminish and shrink. Have a loan; have payments;  have a family; have student loans; all the above?  

     So sTump in the Oval decides to make a deal with MAd Vlad of the Rus country. Stop bombing energy sites and I'll allow you to export diesel again.  Mr. Putin laughs and continues to bomb.

 

Diesel prices continue to rise. Iran provides more support for Houthis in Yemen who continue to bomb Saudi Arabia.  Prices rise some more.

 

  The elections are 2 weeks away: can the farmers and agricultural folks hold out? 

Chicago White Sox Lost Three in a Row

    It was a sad day in Chi-Town as one of the local teams went down in defeat to its nearby rival : the Cleveland Guardians. Sox Manager-Will Veneable did his utmost to win the last contest that would send the team on. It didn't happen as the Sox bats went silent in the face of dominant pitching and timely hitting by the opponent.

     In a feat of rare quality, the Guardians came back after losing 2 straight at home. It seemed a foregone conclusion that the Sox would win 3 out of 5. No, it was not to be. The boys from Chicago were spent; they had little to offer during those 3 contests, unable to muster the hitting or pitching needed.  SO, the game of baseball demonstrated again: it's not over until it's over! 

So sayeth the baseball gods.  The final score: 2-0. And it wasn't that close. 

The Rus Continue to Attack Civilians in Ukraine

   So, Mad Vlad and his Kremlin gang target public transportation-buses loaded with passengers getting to work and getting home from work. Defenseless civilians. This what Russya is all about these days. Stymied by the defense establishment in Ukraine, totally lacking manpower and equipment, the Russyan army is out of options excepting the possibility of scaring innocent civilians. Oh, and we have not forgotten the kidnapping of children by Little Green Men in the DonBass Region.

   Those millitary units will be uncovered and their soldiers and leaders will be held accountable for their crimes against children. What nation other than uncivilized barbarians capture children, remove them from their mothers , and enslave them in a foreign land? 

   So, we have a modern nation; an educated nation, a nation with historical literary and artistic accomplishments of world class levels; but within this country are legions of madmen, ready to carry out the bidding of poisoned dictators. These children await deliverance from this imprisonment. The world waits for the Rus to return to civilization and give up its failed request to expand the borders of the largest country of the planet.
