I'm Backkkkk...sort of. Happy St. Patrick's Day ! - Mehdi Hasan On New Zealand - Unfortunately Beto O'Rourke Is One Of "Them" - Shane MacGowan For President !

Hope BREXIT doesn't ruin it

 Hola, I am recovering from the first phase of laser treatment, which means I'm not in any pain...just peeling.  It was pretty weird, so much for "going to the light" and no they did not laser my brain.  If you are planning on doing this, the best cream for afterwards is the Dermend Fragile Skin Moisturizing Cream, but it is outrageously expensive - like around forty dollars for a 4.5 oz tube.  So, go to ebay, where I've been picking up a stash, running anywhere from eight dollars to 17 dollars, no tax and sometimes free shipping.

Only one more trip back to wound clinic at end of month to give me the all clear...which means YEAH ! I can start taking Himalayan Salt Baths again, except I don't have a Himalayan Salt Lamp or any Shilayt.  I can't go in the sun, so nothing is getting accomplished around here.


But I am making a carrot cake for St. Pat's. So, despite what happened in New Zealand, have a Happy St. Patrick's Day...unsure on Beto O'Rourke, still checking him out. I should be back soon, check the links for the latest of course.....



UPDATE/EDIT 03/17: I made the carrot cake from scratch last night, am making the icing after this update.  Before getting into some raucous Irish music, important report on the New Zealand massacre from Mehdii Hasan, and he is right:

 - From The Intercept:

Don't Just Condemn The New Zealand Attacks - Politicians And Pundits Must Stop Their Anti-Muslim Rhetoric
By, Mehdi Hasan


And regarding Beto O'Rourke, a real bummer...he is one of "them" - the report is long and not completely revealing, look at the comments :

 - From The Intercept:

Beto O'Rourke Is Running For President And It All Started With Weed 
By, Ryan Grim & Robert Mackey




xxxooo.... I submit therefore, that Shane MacGowan run for President, or at least be Bernie Sander's running mate.  xxxooo 

end edit.

Best Review of the Michael Cohen Testimony: Shields and Brooks - February 2019 Execution Stats For TIJ: 145 Dead

Courtesy Frontera.info


 Before the next storm hits and the electricity goes out,here is a quick backup of videos covering the Michael Cohen testimony which many believe will open up a pandora's box of Trump demons.  Already Cohen has accused Trump of perjury, bank fraud, insurance fraud, election fraud, witness tampering and threats, and making false statements (not to mention Trump's racist persona):

From CNN:

Cohen's Testimony May Be The Tip Of The Iceberg 


 Michael Cohen will return on March the 6th for another round of testimony. 

~~~~~

It seems that even the most progressive talking heads are taking a back seat as far as reviewing the Michael Cohen testimony, but I did catch this last night and felt that to date, it is by far the best review of the week's events, a must see...they nailed it:



  - From PBS - 03/01/19:

 Shields and Brooks 

~~~~~

The Local Stats....

Yesterday, Zeta reported that there were 145 people executed in Tijuana the month of February, with a YTD total of 364 killings in the city:

From Zeta - 03/01/19:

Matan a Hombre En Camino Verde 


This seems to be the lowest monthly fatality number compared to last month and every month of last year.  Still, that is a high numberTime is needed to measure the full impact of the Mexican Ejercito deployment in our region.

You can keep abreast of the situations here, note the attacks on Federal& Municipal Agents and of course the beheadings, leg left in front of a school, bodies burned, and women and children shot and killed:

Frontera Policiaca 


Frontera Policiaca Rosarito 


Zeta Tijuana 


~~~~~



 Slightly bummed out...have to go back for another leg wrap, then laser surgery this Friday in La Mesa....maybe they'll just laser my brain.  Paris says woof, Daca Bob has been a good boy, Susan is in and out.  I hope we don't have an earthquake , look:

~ From Frontera.info - 02/18/2018

Se Registran 63 Sismos En BC y Otras 6 Estados en Las Ultimas 12 Horas 


~~~~~


So, just remember to keep flip flops by your bedside in case you have to jump up in the middle of the night in the event of a quake so you don't step on glass. Don't miss Randy Rainbow up in the corner - oh what the heck, here it is again:




Over and out for now.

I Don't Want to Drown In My Own Tears

I tripped over one of Paris's toys, fell and sprained the heck out of my wrist, that's why I haven't been here.  Actually wearing this compression wrap on my leg didn't help matters, because the sock over the wrap had loosened up and was disorienting my balance. Gawd, what a mess.  So, for days I've had my wrist on ice and tried to keep it elevated.  The good news is that the leg wrap comes off for good this week.  I told Mike, that's it, I need to go to the hot springs for at least two weeks. (Right...) Meanwhile, Daca Bob was in another fight and back to Dr. Silva's. Poor little guy, he is completely confused.

We left off with the deployment of the Military and Federal Police in Tijuana and Rosarito Beach.  It's a little difficult to say if it was their presence alone (which authorities already have stated the stay will last forever) which impacted the decrease in violent executions, or if the drug guys just cooled their heels to gain a better perspective of the Ejercito's strategy or navigate different strategies of their own; perhaps new deals and alliances are being made all the way around,  maybe everyone is dead and it is over, or the freezing temperatures and rainfall (13 inches to date here) or all of the above which accounts for the lower execution numbers.

What I can tell you is that the Military is everywhere.  In Rosarito, they are going up and down Benito Juarez and pulling cars over.  When they pull a vehicle over and take the person(s) out of the car, the Military and the Federal Police completely surround the vehicle - no one gets in, no one gets out. And, I will be back this week with the stats and local reports.

Briefly, we are looking at a wild week ahead regarding the Mueller Report and the so-called National Emergency:

The National Emergency:

 - From MSN - 02/24/19

 The Washington Post

 "A bipartisan group of 58 former senior national security officials will issue a statement Monday saying that “there is no factual basis” for President Trump’s proclamation of a national emergency to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border."

The Mueller Report

I thought I heard somewhere that Mueller is going to release his report this week...


 ~ From Raw Story - 02/24/19

" And yet another group says that while worse may be coming, what we already know amounts to a damning imputation of Trump and his allies."

Why The Collusion Matters - Here's What Almost Everyone Misses About the Origins Of Robert Mueller's Investigation
By, Cody Fenwick, Alternet 

Well, not everyone...we're still waiting for Big Jim Risen's report on The Intercept.  
Everything that is anything here on Democracy Now !. 
BTW, I have not seen coverage of the Piedras Negras affair on the local news here, it is on DN under "Immigration".

~~~~~~

I read that Spike Lee walked out of the Oscars after "The Green Book" took best film. Well okay Spike, but after all, it is Hollywood. I actually cried after "The Green Book" - and did the same after your "KkK" film.  We can sit and talk about  white 'saviors'; but couldn't the same said about your white heroes who stood up and backed your main (black) character? You had me believing  they were sincere. Apparently the realities of racism in American history can be portrayed in a zillion forms.  Well, the final episode of True Detective is on tonight,  my verdict is still out on that one.

 Still, if nuthin happens with the Mueller Report or axing the National Emergency, I don't want to drown in my own tears...although I won't be completely shocked. Paris says woof.
