Monday's video: The too political Grammys

Like many of you, I think that these awards shows are too political. The ratings keep dropping and it makes sense...

Schumer caught between reality and the left

We understand that Senator Charles Schumer rejected President Trump’s “2 million” plan, the idea being discussed in public:   

The New York Democrat on Friday accused President Donald Trump of using a proposed path for citizenship for young undocumented immigrants as cover for making sweeping — and damaging — changes to the legal immigration system.     

“This plan flies in the face of what most Americans believe,” Schumer said on Twitter. While Trump “finally acknowledged that the Dreamers should be allowed to stay here and become citizens, he uses them as a tool to tear apart our legal immigration system and adopt the wish list that anti-immigration hard-liners have advocated for for years.”

The one-page proposal released by the White House on Thursday would allow as many as 1.8 million young immigrants to become citizens, while also calling for $25 billion in spending on a border wall and security as well as sharply restricting family-based immigration and eliminating a visa lottery system. White House officials are hoping the Senate will put it up for a vote, but it appears doomed to fail.

What do Americans really believe Senator Schumer? Did you forget what happened last weekend with your shutdown? 

I like President Trump’s proposal, even if I was surprised by the 2 million. At the same time, legalizing 2 million who are already here may be a very small price to pay for getting all of the other stuff, specially updated immigration laws.

It amazes me that Senator Schumer is not jumping on this plan. It must be because he is getting an earful from the left.    

President Trump is winning this battle and Senator Schumer can chat with Senator Manchin about it.

All politics means low ratings

A headline that does not surprise me: "Grammy Ratings Fall From 2017 As Politics Dominate Music’s Biggest Night....."

Senator Manchin wants the wall and the crazy rhetoric to stop

Senator Manchin is finally speaking out against the crazy stuff coming out of his party:

Democratic Senator Joe Manchin told House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to stop her divisive rhetoric on immigration and work with the Republican party, Sunday on CNN’s “State of The Union.”Host Jake Tapper played a clip of Pelsoi claiming President Donald Trump’s immigration plan seeks to “make America white again,” and then asked Manchin what he thought of the quote.“You know what, we don’t need that type of rhetoric on either side. From Nancy, Paul Ryan or anybody else” said Manchin, of West Virginia. “We have the wall. We need to repair the wall. We’ll need to build more wall. We need to do whatever we can to secure the borders.”

The Democrats need more people like Senator Manchin.

RIP Norman Lyons

We learned that Norman Lyons passed away.    He joined the Texas Rangers in 1993 and became the team's face in community relations.   

I met him in a previous career and found him to be quite a gentleman.

RIP Norman Lyons.

The Grammys too political again!

Not surprising, the Grammys opened with politically charged performance.........not surprising they will end with another night of very low ratings.....makes no sense but these people make no sense.....

July 2006: A baseball rarity

Baseball note: Back in July 2006, the ChiSox played a series against Boston.
It was a regular season series between the last 2 WS Champs.
Frankly, I can't think of any other examples of the last two World Series champions playing each other in a regular season series.

Dems to Trump: “Yo quiero marchas no soluciones”

President Trump has a message to “dreamers”:  a path to citizenship plus security & changes to outdated immigration laws.   It is an incredibly fair offer.   It allows more than the 800,000 to stay in the US.

As expected, Democrats say no.    Why?   Because they want marches not solutions!   Senator Schumer and Rep, Pelosi do not want President Trump to sign the law that accomplishes what Democrat majorities never did.

Let’s remember that President Obama & Democrat majorities never passed immigration reform or The Dream Act.

The Democrats will lose this battle more decisively than they lost the shutdown debate last week.
