The fight (if you can call it that) last week between the former Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson (and someone that has few things in common with Trump) and no it is not having served as POTUS. His opponent Jake Paul a 28-year-old former You Tuber, Disney Channel series Bizaardvark actor turned Boxer. And by most accounts an overall Douchebag. Honestly, I did not see the fight live and only saw a clip or two.
Pero as many have said afterwards, I did not miss much. I refused to watch, even if it would have only taken one click on my TV to do so. And for those that did, found out Netflix was overloaded with what was estimated at sixty million plus and the reception sucked. Not to mention the live audience at Jerry world that was 70,000 plus fools, I mean people. Pero hey their money and they can spend how they want Ca No. Maybe I’m’ too old to know I should have been tuned in.
The biggest winners were of course the Winner Jake Paul and Mike Tyson that reportable made 20 to 30 million each. The biggest losers, the people that thought they might see a real fight. The fight did last the whole eight rounds, that because I suspect the fighters agreed to stay up until then. This was nothing more than a glorified exhibition with a wrestling element to increase interest. By all accounts it was a Real Stinker. I feel bad for the young fighters that are giving their all and may never see their kind of payday. Pero for me I really felt that our country had already fallen for a con artist on November 5th, and I was not going to take any part in another one.
As I write this (Nov.19th) I am at least close to going through all the stages of grief. It has been two weeks since the unimaginable for many , including me happened again. Do not’ get me wrong it is not that I was not aware that he (Trump) had lots of folks that supported him for reasons that include racism. Now most people will deny that, and you know what I will give them the benefit of the doubt. Pero if you are dressed in Nazi Get Up and go around telling people that White is Right. Or you say that the others are poisoning the blood of America, and you promise to deport all people that may or not be legal immigrants, “If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, it must be a duck.”
Pero to be fair a large part of the Trump voters were people that blamed Biden and Harris for the price of eggs. Which yes, they do cost too much but I have never seen Biden or Harris with a price gun going around stamping the price of eggs for $5.00 a dozen. As we all know the price of everyday grocery items are affected by many things but not by who is president. And that will include Trump once his takes office I want to share with you part of a commentary I read from the Chicago Tribune whose title is I am a Mexican American who voted for Trump No, I do not hate myself.
He said the party (Democrats) spent the last four years demonizing men and blaming us for all of society’s’ ills. Then they spent several months drinking beer, releasing camo hats, and attempting to “love “guns to desperately win our votes. Former president Barack Obama noticed Black men were not falling in line, so he resorted to shaming his brothers, saying they were sexist, even though Black men supported Hillary Clinton in 2016. He went on say “Democrats we are Latinos or Latinas, not Latinx or Latine. Stop trying to change our language and our culture.
When I read this I thought this guy must be a real Latino MAGA guy that drank the Kool-Aid. Pero the following is how he describes himself “I’m’ a proud first generation, college educated and Gay Mexican American” and he adds “With an undocumented family in the United States.”
What, what? His description of who he is a real head spinner for all Anti-MAGA folks. Even the MAGA folks would say “What are you doing here” I will attempt to paraphrase his response to that, Latinos like me are getting jobs, paying for the costs of living, buying a home, growing and helping our families and making sure the American Dream is attainable and still alive. In the last four years all that has become harder. This situation clearly upset many Latinos who broke from generational loyalty to Democrats.
So, I guess what this guy is saying is what Democrat strategist James Carville said in 1992, paraphrasing ‘Its’ the economy stupid’ That phrase helped Bill Clinton defeat Papa Bush. And yes, the price of eggs is expense, Pero to blame the president or any party for all economic woes is very shortsighted. That said the Democrats have some work to do to win back all the folks that decided that Trump had a better idea. All that said I appreciate being able to listen and possibly learn from other people’s views, this is a Thinker.

The sky is falling, well actually it was just a panel that fell from the roof at Jerry World on Monday. However, it is fitting that the first time they decide to open the roof for a game this season this happens, maybe God is saying ‘Close it, I don’t even want to watch’ Me too God, me too.
