_It’s definitely hot here in North Texas. It’s not record breaking, but it is news
making. It’s interesting how many of the
record hot days here in Grayson County Texas are from the last century. We have not yet become an urban heat island
here. So, what you see and feel is what
you get; and it’s pretty close to what folks got 100 years ago or 50 years ago. I’m not denying climate change, I’m just
making an observation.
_The British are coming. It appears that our cousins in the
UK have finally had enough. Mass immigration
combined with a lack of cultural assimilation have finally reached the boiling
point. Many British citizens, generational
British citizens are fed up. They
have learned a lesson that inclusion is a hard pull when people come from entirely
different cultures and religions. And if
they don’t look like each other it makes it even more difficult. Not impossible, but not something that just happens
because certain progressive elites think it’s a good idea. Everyone must work together and want to get
along. And frankly, the newcomers end up
having to want it the most and work harder to get it. So far, that’s what we’ve seen here in the United
States. Perhaps because we are a nation
of immigrants. But it’s not easy.
_Donald Trump may have dodged the assassin’s bullet, but he
is now shooting himself in the foot on a regular basis. Ignoring the counsel of cooler heads and
seasoned advisors, he’s making it personal. Trump is also showing signs that his age is
catching up with him. It’s not a good
look. The GOP, with Trump leading the charge,
is on the way to losing the November election, not only for the White House, but
“down-ticket” which means the Democrats will control the Executive Branch, The
Senate and The House.
_Excluding the bizarre opening ceremony, I enjoyed watching
some of the Olympics, especially track and field. The USA did well. Those from Texas or developed in Texas showed
up and showed out. But the Olympics has
too many events and too many participants with no chance of winning a medal or
even being competitive. Fewer events, fewer
athletes and a shorter, classier opening ceremony would make the Olympics much
better in my opinion. (Old guy now pulls
up his pants, slaps a newspaper against his leg and rattles the change in his
pocket.)
"It is greencards that become blue passports. It is unlearning the language of our grandparents. It is knowing how to pronounce Arkansas and Illinois. It is enjoying barbeques on somber national holidays."-Anamika Nair
