"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan

As Kamala Harris's fortunes drop and Donald Trump shows that he can make French fries, we hear some interesting news from the campaign front.
It turns that Joe and Kam won't be together anymore. Let's get the report:
With just two weeks left in the 2024 campaign, there currently are no plans for Vice President Kamala Harris to appear on the trail with President Joe Biden before Election Day, according to three Harris campaign officials and three White House officials. Carol Lee, Laura Leslie, Ashley Etienne and Brendan Buck join the Meet the Press roundtable to discuss.
There you have it. No more Joe and Kam asking for your vote.
Wonder who came up with the idea? Was it Vice President Harris, avoiding the administration's record? Or is it President Biden who still angry from getting the boot in July?
I guess that we will find out when someone decides to write a book about the Harris-Biden split. In the meantime, we are left to speculate so let me give you my speculation.
My take is that Joe wanted out. We've been hearing that the the two camps don't get along well or the dreaded word "tensions" or "bad blood."
Who knows? Nevertheless, you don't get the feeling that Joe and Kam are on the same page.

We remember Annette Funicello (1942-2013)
We remember Annette Funicello. She was born in Uttica, NY on this day in 1942 and died in 2013.
Annette was the cute girl next door who went from The Mickey Mouse Club to all of those sweet movies with Frankie Avalon. Honestly, the movies were pretty good and you can catch them on retro TV.
I guess that life was less complicated back then.

October 1962: A few thoughts about the Cuban Missile Crisis
It was 1962 but still a big part of my past. In other words, it was the aftermath of the Cuban Missile Crisis that consolidated the Castro regime and led to our departure of Cuba.
It all started when the USSR challenged the US by placing missiles in Cuba, or in this part of the world.
For days, the world waited for a resolution. We were down in Cuba at the time and my parents recall just how tense every minute was.
Nevertheless, the world came very close to a nuclear war in October 1962.

October 2010 and memories of Cliff Lee with the Rangers
Looking back at the 2010 post-season, New York came to town for game 1 of the ALCS after the Rangers beat Tampa in the first round.
Game 1 was a disaster: a devastating loss to New York. Remember how everybody was speculating that the Rangers would crack after that horrific 8th inning?
They didn't and you can thank the pitching of Cliff Lee. He was phenomenal in the 2010 post season:
They didn't and you can thank the pitching of Cliff Lee. He was phenomenal in the 2010 post season:
"Lee was 4-0 with a 1.56 ERA in the 2009 postseason.
He has encored with a 3-0 record and a 0.75 ERA to date in the '10 postseason.
He is 3-0 against the Yankees in the past two postseasons.
In all three of his playoff starts this October, he has struck out 10 or more men, becoming the first pitcher to do that in one postseason."(MLB)
And so we remember Cliff Lee......and the 2010 AL champs.

October 22, 1962: President Kennedy spoke about missiles in Cuba
It all started when the USSR challenged the US by placing missiles in Cuba, or in this part of the world.
For days, the world waited for a resolution. We were down in Cuba at the time and my parents recall just how tense every minute was.
There are many books about The Cuban Missile Crisis. The Robert F Kennedy book takes a personal look at the crisis. The Michael Dobbs is more detailed.
Nevertheless, the world came very close to a nuclear war in October 1962.
