A Little Monday Music - 45th Anniversary of "A1A" - Jimmy Buffett

Starting The Week off on a High Note

I have decided to try and start each new week off on a positive high note. But being a glass half empty kind of guy I suspect things will turn into crap soon enough.

A1A or A-1-A is the fifth studio album by singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett and the third major label album in Buffett's Don Gant-produced "Key West phase."

A1A is my favorite Buffett album. He is at the peak of his singing, music and poetry. It is hard to believe it is 45 years old. Where has the time gone?

The album is named for Florida State Road A1A that runs mostly along the Atlantic Ocean and is the main road through most oceanfront towns. It is also referenced in the song "Trying To Reason With Hurricane Season".

The album's original back cover is a photograph of a section of A1A.

Democrats come out against free speech

Biden campaign asks news networks to stop booking Giuliani

(NY Post) - Joe Biden’s presidential campaign is asking top network executives to stop booking President Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.

Biden campaign officials Anita Dunn and Kate Bedingfield wrote a letter to network news presidents, chief anchors and the executive producers of the Sunday shows for ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN and Fox News Channel, Deadline reported.

“We are writing today with grave concern that you continue to book Rudy Giuilani on your air to spread false, debunked conspiracy theories on behalf of Donald Trump,” the letter said.

“While you often fact check his statements in real time during your discussions, that is no longer enough. By giving him your air time, you are allowing him to introduce increasingly unhinged, unfounded and desperate lies into the national conversation.”

Biden’s campaign asked the TV heavyweights if a campaign surrogate could get equal time if Giuliani continued to be booked.

“Vice President Biden and his campaign are the targets of these attacks. Saying simply that you will put a Democrat on, at a time when there are many declared candidates for the Democratic nomination for the presidency, is neither fair treatment nor equal treatment,” the campaign operatives argued.

Giuliani did not respond to a request for comment, but addressed the letter via his Twitter account.

“They have their Dem media trying to destroy my reputation and silence me,” he wrote in one tweet. “Think of the Biden arrogance and entitlement to protection. They believe they own the media and they are demanding that they silence me. They know I have incriminating facts, not hearsay, because they know what they did in selling Joe’s office to a Ukrainian crook,” the ex-mayor said in another.

The Fight For Free Speech

The most important issue of our time is corrupt multinational corporations deciding for Americans what books they can read and what news content they will be allowed to watch.

The Leftist Corporate Big Brother censorship is moving fast. The Democrats applaud as freedom is abolished and the so-called "Conservative" GOP hides under their desks hoping no one will ask them any meaningful questions.

The bill of Rights is openly being shit on by Traitors to America.

Paul Ryan pushing Fox News to 'break' with Trump

'GOP voters can go to Hell'

Paul Ryan Platform

Remember those 24-7 House Russia hearings to destroy Trump were run under the leadership of the corrupt whore Speaker Paul Ryan.
I laugh my ass off at people who claim the open borders GOP is Conservative. Bullshit. The GOP has not been Conservative since the 1920s. It is a left-wing open borders party.
The Donald wants to end illegal immigration, re-build American industry and return millions of middle class jobs to our country. The reaction. The Republican Party goes ape shit.

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan, who currently sits on the board of Fox Corp., is reportedly urging Fox News to “decisively break” with President Donald Trump, according to a Thursday Vanity Fair report documenting the network’s “management bedlam.”

Vanity Fair’s Gabe Sherman, citing four sources, reported that Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch, who has long tried to move Fox News to the center, “is already thinking about how to position the network for a post-Trump future.”

Ryan, the longtime Trump antagonist, has reportedly been suggesting to Murdoch that “Fox should decisively break with the president” as Murdoch holds “strategy conversations with Fox executives and anchors about how Fox News should prepare for life after Trump.”

Vanity Fair cited “an executive who’s spoken with Ryan” who simply said: “Paul is embarrassed about Trump and now he has the power to do something about it.”

Trump has repeatedly attacked Fox News of late, accusing the network of showcasing Democrats—and potential presidential opponents—in town halls.

On Thursday, three Fox News anchors—Chris Wallace, Bret Baier, and Martha MacCallum—reportedly discussed being the “targets of the president’s tweets,” with Wallace telling the crowd at Advertising Week in New York: “It’s a very surreal thing. I think we all kind of embrace it as: We’ve got his attention, so we must be doing something right.”

Friday Femmes with Firearms - The Walking Dead Edition

"I can't profess to understand God's plan. Christ promised the resurrection of the dead. I just thought he had something a little different in mind."

Hershel Greene

By Gary;

Thanks for the memories.

Season 10 of The Walking Dead is coming so I thought it is a good time to honor the female cast in this weekly Femmes with Firearms post.

The Dead has been on TV for so long it predates the insane modern political correctness movement.

The Women of the Dead did not rub your face in Leftist PC culture. They were naturally strong, and we viewers accepted them without question. Those women who were weak were eaten.

I miss so many of our fallen friends: Lori, Andrea, Beth, Sasha and so many more.

That being said, it is obvious in the last couple seasons of The Walking Dead that the show is swirling around the toilet bowl. The best characters and actors are dead, and the writers have no clue what they are doing. For example, they let Negan out of his jail cell only to do nothing with him. Sad.

As for Fear the Walking Dead, I finally stopped watching about a month ago. The plots were really dumb, had no direction at all and a degree of PC culture was being force fed into the series as a substitute for real story lines.

It feels odd to have my Sunday nights open to view other shows.

I will give season 10 a fair shot, but the series is on notice from me. If it sucks I will flip on Netflix and watch the classic Walking Dead episodes.

Don't try this at home.
The Dead are not your friends.
