We learned that Dave Nelson passed away in 2018.    Dave was born in Oklahoma on this day in 1944.

His career included playing for the Senators/Rangers in 1970-75, an All Star selection in 1973 when he stole 43 bases and batted .286.

Recently, he was with the Brewers doing media and PR work.

Do Democrats respect legal immigrants?

New York is joining other states in approving drivers’ licenses for illegal immigrants.  This is from the Hill:
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) will sign a bill allowing undocumented immigrants to apply for driver’s licenses in the Empire State, a counsel to the governor announced Monday evening.
The measure was approved by the state assembly last week and passed the Democratic state Senate on Monday, according to WKBW.
Cuomo has long supported the policy but has expressed concern that information collected through the application process could be used against immigrants.
In a statement, Counsel to the Governor Alphonso David said Attorney General Letitia James (D) has reviewed the bill to ensure there are safeguards preventing the data from being used for such purposes.
Governor Cuomo is concerned that Information could used against illegal immigrants?
This entire law is insane.
First, how do we know the real identity of a person in the country illegally?  Are we doing background checks in their home country?
Second, it will create a tremendous vote fraud potential.  What stops a person from getting a license and then registering to vote?
Last, and important, it mocks the rule of law.  What do we say to those who respected immigration law?  What’s the point of paying legal fees or waiting your turn if New York can do a shortcut and give you a license?
A bad idea from a political party that has lost its senses.

And the lights went out in Uruguay Argentina and Brazil?

On Sunday, Uruguay, Argentina, and portions of Brazil went dark or the lights went out, leaving millions of people in shock.
I learned about it when several friends on Facebook reported it and said “hasta luego” or the Spanish for “see you later”.  My friends were running on batteries!
Do we know what happened?  I don’t think so, but this is what Bloomberg reported:  
A huge power failure cut off electricity in all of Argentina and Uruguay on Sunday morning, according to media reports and a regional utility.
Parts of Brazil and Paraguay also were affected, the BBC reported.
A “massive failure in the electrical interconnection system” has left “all of Argentina and Uruguay without power,” 
Edesur Argentina, a power company serving more than 2.5 million customers, said on Twitter.
So what went wrong?
On the humorous side, my friend from Uruguay said that the “Gods of futbol” did not want fans to catch the game against Ecuador.  (Uruguay beat Ecuador, 4-0).  
The “Copa America” is underway and “futbol” is all that matters down south.  
At another level, there is talk of a “cyber attack,” exactly the kind of explanation that will drive “conspiracy crazies” in Argentina totally mad.  I can hear it:  Evita did it from the grave!  It won’t be long before a tango about the power outage goes up the charts.  “Argentinos” love tragedy songs and this one fits the bill.
On a political level, it highlights just how backward some of these “government run” enterprises are.  It may be a blessing in disguise if it encourages private investment in some of these state companies!
According to what I hear, it will take a few weeks before we know what happened.  In the meantime, get ready for lots of conspiracies and tangos reliving that Sunday that Buenos Aires went dark.

Beto getting a little desesperado….

Image result for beto cartoon images
On a scale of 1 to 10, let’s call this one a super act of desperation. How else do you explain a human being saying that he will make it easier for boys who thinks they are girls to compete with real girls?
In another time, the Democrats would have politely asked that person to register as something else rather than a “D.”
According to news reports, Beto O’Rourke has decided to stroke the extreme left wing of the party by saying this:
Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke released his plan for “LGBTQ-Equality” Wednesday and one element of the plan would ensure that transgender males would be allowed to compete on female sports teams. In announcing the plan, O’Rourke exclaimed that it would “ensure LGBTQ+ Americans can live openly without fear or discrimination or violence and would immediately reverse the Trump Administration’s Discriminatory policies.”
This is so insane and crazy that I can’t read it any longer.   Beto’s idea would ruin girls’ sports, specially soccer where girls are doing so well!
Beto has a lot of problems:
First, he’s been replaced by the guy with a husband, or Mayor Pete.  Beto has a loving traditional wife who stands by her man when he is announcing for president.  The liberal wing would rather see a man stand by his husband.  To paraphrase the old saying, this is not your dad’s party anymore!
Second, Beto has turned boring and weird, i.e. trip to the dentist on video?
Third, he is not running against Senator Ted Cruz anymore.  He is back to being the unknown fellow from South Texas who went to private schools and married a rich man’s daughter.  In other words, he is the classic white guy who benefited from being white in a party that hates that.
So Beto is desperate for the magic to return.  Unfortunately, it’s not going to return.  Maybe he would have been better off getting a show on MSNBC and courting his devout followers until he could run for governor in 2024.
Yes, it’s time to say “adios” to Beto.  He is done and he can blame himself immensely for that!
