THE RUBICON IS CROSSED

Comey’s indictment a “Rubicon-crossing moment. The Justice Department we have long known dead.” It has become an arm of the government to punish the President’s enemies, regardless of the law. A tragedy for today with lasting implications, even if the case is dismissed.

On this day in 1960, Kennedy and Nixon squared off in the first televised debate. From a viewing perspective, Kennedy was the winner. Nixon’s profuse sweating defeated him.

Orally and only listening, Nixon was the best. TV was new to politics, however. It was all in the seeing rather than listening.

China is the adult in the room now where climate is concerned. Focused and surging ahead while the West is distracted.

Trump announced pharmaceutical products may face tariff rate increases up to 100 percent, updated furniture 30 percent, and heavy trucks 25 percent starting October 1.

Disaster further impacts Gaza City.  Gaza City hospitals are closing and fleeing as Israeli forces advance.

Obama accuses Trump of “truth violence” re public health. He made the comment while in London two days after Trump made his public health announcement seeking to tie Tylenol to autism.

China wants a “super embassy” in London – sparking anger and spying fears.

I find the following surprising. In its numbers. The first time I have seen them so excessive. It was reported in several places yesterday in one report that 820,000 face dire hunger in D.C. Another report claimed more than one million people in Washington are food insecure. The numbers suggest roughly 1 in 10 children across the region are not getting enough food.

A shocking report yesterday. Hard to believe. One of the Nation’s outstanding college football coaches resigned. Clemson’s Debo Swinney resigned because Clemson’s season so far is 1-3. His decision. He was not pushed out.

He specific the Syracuse decision contributed to his resigning. He further claimed he refused to be embarrassed by this year’s record thus far. He claimed this year’s team was “absolute garbage.” Intimating the problem not his fault. He forgets you can’t win them all!

I find Swinney’s words disappointing. I have heard many times over the years that a person cannot be a good winner till he has been a good loser. It took Swinney a long time to reach the point.

Trump’s youth support has faded. Reason: They expect more from an “adult” leader. Like behaving like an adult.

One thing Americans fear most is war. Threat today more than just a possibility.

Syracuse my Syracuse! Looked like Syracuse was off to a great season. Still may be, though doubt surrounds the team’s expectations now.

Our great quarterback Steve Angeli suffered a fractured Achilles tendon. He is out for the season.

Replaced by sophomore substitute Ricky Collins.

Syracuse plays Duke tomorrow. Was expected to win. No more. Duke now a 5 1/1 point favorite.

I do not buy a Syracuse defeat till I see it. Syracuse will require a running game as well as the passing game Angeli provided.

We will find out beginning at noon tomorrow when the teams kick off at noon. The game is being played at the Syracuse Dome.

Enjoy your day!
