Kansas City Chiefs beat the '49ers 31 to 20

I turned it to FOX TV at a quarter to three.  Right off the bat I was having antenna reception problems and finally got back where I started.  The one change I made some of the ting was to extend one of the ears out into the room, which seemed to help.  Then sang “America the Beautiful” and the Star Spangled Banner and had a lengthly coin toss.  San Francisco was the visiting team and picked tails and won and chose to defer until the second half.   The kick-off wasn’t till nearly a quarter to four.  It’s never been later.  It wasn’t much time at all before it was time for dinner.  But I went out to smoke.  That ugly brownish cat has been playing cat and mouse games with our black and white kitty.   I heard at the dinner table that San Francisco scored three points.  Then Kansas City scored seven.  Then they scored three more making it ten to three Chiefs.  Then San Francisco went on a scoring spree and scored two touchdowns making it seventeen to ten.  It was ten to ten at halftime.  I went out to smoke and returned just as Pepsi was making the halftime announcement.  It was a good half time show with Jennifer Lopez.  The thing is they had fragments of so many songs.   San Francisco’s scoring stopped at twenty.  I think at that point it was 20 to 17.   Anyhow I went out not too long before the end of the game and the ‘49ers led by three.  But when I returned Kansas City scored two more touchdowns and that was enough to win the game by eleven points and definitely beat the point spread.  The game ended at ten after seven but it kind of had a long, drawn-out ending.   I would have lost money big time if I had gambled beause I was very sure the ‘49ers were going to win. 

I went for medication.  The middle segment of Sixty Minutes was that “kook” and I think I will call this ecologist a kook.  He wants to chop down trees in Siberia and resurrect the wooly mammoth because they need to tread down the ground harder to bring back the perma-frost.  The thing wrong with Siberia now is that the perma-frost is melting and all of that carbon is being liberated into the atmosphere by de-thawing microbes.   We heed to chop down all the trees and “restore Syberia to its former appearance ten thousand years ago”.   I had no idea that Siberia was getting so warm.  This scientist loves the climate but his son would rather be a mathematician further south.  But he wants his son to continue his work.  After this there was an author of novels for teenagers, who has been around since 2008 or so.  After this I dozed off.  Then Joe suggested I turn off the TV at twenty after eight.  But instead I turned down the volume and went outside to think about what I was now going to do with the evening.

This final vote delay for impeachment is baffeling.   It's like Trump wants to see himself as a victim while making his state of the union address.  I hear he's going to talk about how great the economy is.  But as they said today, they've used up their tool box of stimulants to the economy already.  They've cut interest rates to the floor and we are running record budget deficits.  Trump wants it so the democrats have nowhere to turn when the economy finally heads downward, which it will invariably.  This March makes the end of year eleven that we've been in a bull market.  Now we hear that is Sanders wins in the caucus that the stock market indexes will plunge downward.   I had on the Kelly Clarkson show.  They preempted that to cover the vote of the calling of witnesses in congress.   This morning on Chris Matthews they are playing episodes from earlier in the week where reports were rampant that Mitch Mc Connell did NOT have the votes to block witnesses.  This is a strange one.  There is another rumor that the final impeachment vote would not be till Wednesday.  This one was borne out as fact.  They voted NOT to call any witnesses by a vote of 51 to 49, and for a while it was 50 to 49.   Chuck Schumer says it was a sad day in America.  The logical thing to do now would be immediately vote to acquit, which is what they want to do anyhow.  For some inexplicable reason though, they are holding off till Wednesday after the State of the Union and after the Iowa caucus.  I’m baffled.  I’m more baffled that Eye Witness news did not even cover the store as their lead on the three o clock news. 

I refer to God now as "The Lord of this world".   This used to be a title for Satan but that was back when Christians wanted the second coming and the Kingdom of heaven to descend upon earth and we would finally have peace and brotherhood and all that good stuff.   It used to be if you didn't like Christianity all you had to do was leave the Church.  Now everything is Christian.   Trump  is supposedly a Christian and the leader to  whom Church leaders look for guidance and inspiration.  Back when I studied the Bible "The man on the white horse" was Satan, in the four horsemen of the apoocralipse.  Now this man on the white horse is Jesus.  Jesus doesn't do anything these days except sit in heaven on the right hand of God the Father.  But when he swings into action it will be to make war with "The nations" maybe the UN or something, I don't know.  You're supposed to talk about the Holy Spirit now.  It's all about what the Holy Spirit is doing and not Jesus.  It used to be Big Money was seen as an evil in the world economy.  Now they all worship Big Money.  The only difference between the God I talk about as "the lord of this world" than nature worship or being a wiccan or something, is that now God has Jesus Christ up there who has been given "all power", which he delegated to the Church, which means the Christian media, which means the Republicans and President Trump.  If you're looking for "something else" don't turn to Neil Savedra for help.  He says we shouldn't even think about anything else besides the status quo of right now.  (Selah)  In other words John Lennon's words are true "There ain't no Jesus gona come from the sky.  Now that I found out I know I can cry".
