Sportswashing and Jan 6

While watching the hearings on CSPAN regarding Jan 6, I flipped over to Fox just to see if they were covering it.  Not only were they not covering it but the announcer was talking about how the entire proceedings was a sham and that the time frames and the videos were not correct. I could only take one minute but knowing that they have a huge audience I was suddenly very pissed off and then I got sad.

Do those people who watch FOX news still believe the election was stolen from DJT?

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

I know the GOP has taken a stand of only talking about inflation and gas prices because the midterms are only a few months away.  

The Republican Party does not think the January 6 attempt to overthrow the Government of the United States was anything to fret over and they believe the investigation is simply an attempt to make sure Donald Trump doesn't run again in 2024.  

If you ignored a subpoena how long do you think it would take for the Marshall's to show up at your home?  And yet there have been more than 5 people who have refused to appear after having been ordered to do so....and none of them have been arrested.

It turns out that William Barr is a reasonable man with common sense values while Rudy Giuliani keeps looking like a complete idiot.

Mike Pence will start his run to the White House within the next few weeks....and if he would testify it would really kick start his campaign.

Don't think for one minute that I want him to be President but when he said no to The Donald it was obvious what his plans were for his political future.

SPORTS WASHING

Look up the definition

Current example of sports washing is the LIV golf tour.  The Saudi's are throwing money at golfers in staggering amounts.  Rumors have put Tiger at being offered one billion and Jack the same for attaching his name.  Both have said no at the current moment.  Phil apparently got 200 million.

The ultimate sports washing will come when they try to buy a franchise in MLB, NHL, NBA or the NFL.

Pretend that you are Jerry Jones and the call goes like this.....

"Hello Mr. Jones this Sheik Salon Abdul Azziz and we met at the Kentucky Derby last year. We have decided to offer you 500 BILLION dollars for the Dallas Cowboys."

KEEP IN MIND THE COWBOY FRANCHISE IS VALUED AT 9 BILLION DOLLARS.

The only problem is the other owners would have to approve but in reality they would probably say...."How much is our share?"

500 billion is a silly number because in truth 50 billion will probably get it done.

I have one question

How much if we just sold them the whole country?

By the way have you looked at the profit in the first quarter for Chevron?   I always claimed that as more electric cars hit the road the higher gas prices would be and that is now and forever our reality.

I will never buy a Tesla but a Ford Volt sounds cool.  Does Aston Martin make an electric car?

Imagine how boring it would be if you went to the Indy 500 and they were all electric?

BY the way the Saudi's have already SportWashed Auto Racing, Horse Racing, Soccer and Military weapons.

The simple answer to a free enterprise capitalistic system of government

is

EVERYBODY HAS A PRICE

and to quote The Dude in the Big Lebowski
