A Good Man Smeared....

Thanks for checking back this week.I am only going to talk about one subject today. I am going to share a few memes that will help to illustrate the way I feel. Sorry....This is a vent Blog.

Today the Senate Judiciary Committee decided to delay the vote concerning Judge Kavanaugh for another week. I do not understand how the American people can not see what is happening here. A last second tactic to discredit Judge Kavanaugh seems to be working. I can not say whether the accusation against him is true or not. I do know that I question why it took all this time to come forward. If it was such a terrible thing, I would think it would have been brought to light by now. Sen Feinstein held on to the charge and introduced it at the last minute. The fact that all of the accusers seem to have links to people that have something to gain by blocking this nomination, is more than a coincidence.

The Left would do anything to prevent this nominee from being confirmed. They said so even before they knew who the nominee would be. They oppose judge Kavanaugh simply because he was nominated by President Trump. When it seemed that the nomination would succeed, suddenly, accusations arose. It is just too convenient for someone to come forward after 30 or 40 years.

I do not want to say that sexual assault or other sexual crimes do not happen. I am sure it does happen. I just seems that this accuser must have some other incentive. Whether urging from enemies of the President or enemies of America or whomever. It's just not right that there is so much credibility being given to something that might have happened decades ago.

The real losers here are the American people. We have the right to expect integrity and honesty from our representatives. I will not call them leaders. (They need to remember that they work for us) If this man was a liberal, there would be no outrage. There would probably be no opposition!

One of their biggest fears is that adding Kavanaugh to the Court will tip the balance to conservative and then defeat Roe Vs Wade and other liberal causes. First of all, there has to be a case before them that they can rule on. There is no guarantee of that. They are afraid of something that might never happen. I am in favor of ending abortion. I would welcome a favorable ruling. There is nothing I can do to cause it though. Neither can Brett Kavanaugh.

That's about all I have for today. Once again....Sorry for the rant. I just want this thing to be decided so our country can try to move forward. I just wish it would hurry up...

Thanks for reading. Feel free to comment....See you next time...

Serena Acting Bad

Thanks for checking back into my Blog this week. I hope you are entertained or intrigued or amused. Feel free to comment. I always welcome civil discussion of my opinions...

My Monday golf league is over. We had a disappointing finish. I am looking forward to a better finish next year....

Team Lefty on Wednesday is still in a very disappointing 7th place. I shot 38, but can not win significant points with just a two handicap. Ah Well....There's always next year...

Drobny Studio bowling is in a tie for 3rd place with 4 other teams. Just getting started there...
I being a traitor lies in the eye of the beholder....
Picture
Be sure to pray for our friends and fellow countrymen in the path of hurricane Florence. It is a giant storm and is going to decimate the area and bring untold loss of property and life. The forces that rule our planet make us seem so powerless and insignificant sometimes. This is one of those times....

Only the Browns would end a losing streak with a tie. Can't call it starting a winning streak. At least it's not a loss though...
Picture
The Indians magic number is 3. They are a lock for the playoffs and I don't think anyone is looking forward to playing them....

Ohio State has a tough opponent in TCU tomorrow. It will be a good test...

Look for Drobny Studio at the Engagement Party on October 14th. Visit with some of the area's finest wedding vendors and see a beautiful hall. Hope to see you there...
Picture
The Ryder Cup competition will be starting in a couple of weeks. It is one of golf's greatest events. I love to watch. Can't wait...

I am currently waiting for Cookie Jam to add another island...

Love these memes....Especially this one...
Picture
The Dine-N-Dash dater has stuck several women with a big check after eating a fine meal and ducking out and sticking the woman with the tab. Internet dating at it's finest...

The Kavanaugh hearings have dragged on long enough. The Democrats know that if the Republicans get their act together, there is nothing they can do to stop it. Just trying to make as much political mileage out of it as they can...
Picture
R.I.P. Burt Reynolds....I always loved his movies....
Picture
The Monday Night Football ratings were the lowest since 2006. I guess the Nike ad is maybe not the great success they make it out to be. People sometimes vote with their wallets. I know that there is no Nike gear in my immediate future....
Picture
Picture
I also have a couple of headshot events coming up as I try to improve the first impression of our local businesspersons, one at a time. Which one looks better to you?
Picture
Finally today...I want to close with my view of this image of Serena Williams at the US Open. This has been called a racist and sexist image. I watched the video of this event and think that it looks just like it looked. There was no mention of it being about a black player or female player. Just about a player having a melt down and blaming it on everyone other than herself. This is just a player acting badly. Whether that bad action was justified or not is not addressed. She did break her racket on the ground, she did yell at the referee, she did act badly. Whether she was genuinely mistreated or discrimination was shown toward her is not part of this image. It simply, is what it is. The racist and sexist aspect was added by others. You can find something bad in anything if you are looking for it. I think that is what happened here. It looks to me like a person acting badly. No more, no less....

​Thanks again for reading this week....See you next time...

Congratulations Leah and Jeremy

It's always a special time when a loved one marries the man of her dreams. I had the honor of photographing just such a wedding over the weekend. Good Luck! Leah and Jeremy. I wish you nothing but the best!
Chenoweth was beautiful, On The Mic Entertainment rocked the house and Just Perfect Video got everything on video.

Finally we have a bit of a break from the high temperatures. Still high humidity, but at least it's more comfortable....Much needed rain coming too...

We had the first service at ABT's new property on Sunday. I don't know when I was ever more proud to be a member there....
Picture
My new bass amp worked great. Tiny package with big sound! Love it!

The confirmation hearings for Judge Kavanaugh is just another example of liberals not being able to be civil to those that do not agree with them. Their conduct during the sessions is deplorable. A Democratic senator told them how great it is that they can protest like that. I think it's just disrespectful and embarrassing. 

On that line...Corey Booker said he was going to illegally release some emails attributed to Judge Kavanaugh( Even though they had already been released). He said the public's right to know was greater than him doing something illegal. That is our Democratic leadership for you. If a Republican tried to do something like that, it's hard to say how bad the fallout would be. Look for Booker to start running for President soon....

The Indians had a so-so home stand, but they seem to be getting it back in gear...Francisco Lindor is awesome!!
Picture
Team Lefty is still struggling to stay out of the basement. Not enough weeks left to get into the mix this year...

​I just do not understand men's fashion these days...
Picture
I still hate DIRECTV! I know when a storm is coming because the signal drops out. Hopefully our contract with them with end soon. When they say occasional interruption of service, they mean every time it rains.....

I just picked up my photos from our Maine vacation. Now I can't find frames....

Ohio State dominated their first game. Defense needs some work though...

​How is this possible???
Picture
I am currently trying to solve Cookie Jam level 4254. It never seems to end...

The Cowboys kick off their season on Sunday against the Panthers. I hope the O-line comes together without Travis Frederick. He was the leader of that group. Him missing is a big loss...

Liberals called for a boycott of In-N-Out Burger because they donated some money to President Trump's campaign. I think they had record sales days. Way to go....

Tiger woods has been added to the Ryder Cup team as a player. I hope he does well...
Picture
The Steelers are still waiting for Le'veon Bell to report. I hope they let him sit all season....

The big story this week is Nike using Colin Kaepernick as a commercial spokesperson. I believe that his message is a good one, but as the old saying goes "Two wrongs don't make a right". If he wants to bring attention to some social injustices he has every right. I might even agree with him on some points. Disrespecting our Flag and Anthem is not the way to do it though. He is sacrificing a football career that is already over. Calling his sacrifice somehow equal to the ultimate sacrifice that others made is laughable. He still lives in a big house and drives a really expensive car. I wonder how much his new Nike contract is worth? I wonder how much of that contract is going to good causes? I wonder how much Nike will donate to those causes? Nike is just looking to get some publicity and sell some shoes. I heard that they got 400 million in publicity. Their stock lost 4 billion though. I hope that as long as they continue this ad campaign that their stock prices follow the same trend...
