A Legit Invite?

I read on X(Twitter) that Jimothy has been invited to visit the Trump White House. Given Seattle's Leftist leanings, I doubt he will accept, but you never know. Trump would not be the first Republican President to host a raccoon, as Silent Cal had a pet raccoon named "Rebecca", who was actually sent to the Coolidge family to be an entree at a holiday meal, but thankfully never was eaten. 

The Mighty Spaniards

Spain was the dominant side in the World Cup. Argentina is a good team in their own right but were completely flustered by Spain's relentless defense. The Spanish controlled the action from the start. The outcome was not as close as a one nil score might indicate. The quality Latin American squad could muster nothing, yet the Argentines are a highly skilled side. They just ran into a buzz saw in the Spanish who looked unbeatable in the final contest. Hats off- we witnessed greatness. 

The Sleep Walkers

The French side more or less decided to skip the first half in yesterday's contest. Though their bodies were on the pitch, they failed to deliver any spirit until after their coach (must have) demanded they demonstrate some pride in the second half, which they did. To go down four nil to a team you are faster and quicker than shows a pronounced lack of effort. I only wonder if their hearts were in it from the start, could France have actually won the game? 

Third Place Game

France and England despised each other. The gritty British staved off conquest by Napoleon. The French shuddered at the notion of ripping Europe apart through BREXIT. Whenever these once mighty nations had a chance to have a go at each other, they were all in, but with the World Cup today being a fight for third place, they seem not to care. It was a fairly close run thing for the English who stayed competitive with Argentina, and if this were the game for the gold, everyone would be excited, but for the bronze, the bloom is off the rose. 

Safe to Assume?

Republican states with nary a whiff of election scandal gladly cooperated in the Trump administration's probe of voting, and even in these apparently "clean" states, several hundred thousand foreigners and dead folks were found on voter rolls. It does not require widespread fraud to steal an election but only targeted vote rigging in areas where the vote might be close. There a few thousand corpses and aliens casting ballots might well determine the winner. If they had nothing to hide in the DemocRAT machine states, they too would have voluntarily participated in cleaning up voter rolls and helping Federal authorities make sure elections are fair. In the event, they are demonstrating they have plenty to hide by doing just the opposite. You know who does not want free and fair voting? Those stealing elected office by cheating, and it is not Republicans doing that. 

The England Collapse

Once again, when push came to shove, British footballers folded. They could have never quit as Argentina clearly kept fighting, but it was easier for the Three Lions to take a cat nap at the precise moment that they had to stand tall to prevail. The English are skilled no doubt, but at this World Cup, they decided to shrink when they needed to rise, just as they have in every World Cup except 1966. 

The Spanish Steamroller

I will concede that France is the more athletic side, They are faster than Spain, yet the Spanish have dominated them of late. The reason for this is simple. It is discipline. While the French with great elan are sometimes haphazard in their play, Spain rarely makes mistakes, not never, because the Spaniards are of course human, but when they do, Spain has the concerted effort team mindset to overcome whatever error an individual competitor has made. Does that mean Spain will trounce England or Argentina? Not necessarily because a different opponent offers unique challenges, but I would not bet against the Spanish side.
