I know totalitarianism,
I know socialism, I know communism. We have no socialism here,(except for those too big to fail), we certainly have no communism but man- at this rate we are but 1 election away from having totalitarianism. We prevailed.
Let’s keep it going! Go Raphael:)!
I am so sad about Naomi Osaka.I truly hope she will be ok. As athletes we are taught to take care of our body, and perhaps the mental & emotional aspect gets short shrift. This is about more than doing or not doing a press conference. Good luck Naomi- we are all pulling for you!
I can tell you all this for sure- whatever ridiculous propaganda we were fed in then Czechoslovakia, which was mandated by Soviet Union- pales next to the lies being told and repeated by trump and his ilk. I am not kidding…
trump truly trumps the communists. And that’s not easy
Growing up in totalitarian Czechoslovakia, voting was useless- there was only one party and one candidate- no choice whatsoever. Am so grateful that we were able to stop a possible totalitarian situation in America. Because here, we do have a choice- let’s make sure we keep it!
After a day full of tests at Sloan Kettering, I got the all clear! Thank you to all the doctors, nurses, proton and radiation magicians etc- what a relief:)

When a person is killed on a movie set in an ACCIDENTAL shooting, the Republicans are very VOCAL on this. But when the guns are used willfully, on their partners or strangers or in school shootings- CRICKETS!!!!

Rediscovered this photo while moving- Had to put the brakes on , made the half volley from behind the body and won the point on the next volley- San Francisco 1978 I think:), I remember the shot because a photographer gave me the photo soon after
Lt. Col. Vindman, who (like me) was forced to come to this country by an oppressive dictatorship, who put his life on the line for US and is now standing up for our democracy, had his loyalties questioned. Share the words of a real American hero:
SCHIFF: “What was your...reaction to hearing that call?”
VINDMAN: “I knew that I had to report this.”
SCHIFF: “What was your concern?”
VINDMAN: “It was improper for the president...to demand an investigation into a political opponent...it would undermine our national security”
Today , August 21st 1968, 55 years ago, the Warsaw pact army, at the behest of Soviet Union, invaded then Czechoslovakia. I will never forget that day when hope was crushed. Which is why I will keep fighting for fairness and democracy and hope wherever I happen to be….

What makes my blood boil watching this Hur hearing, is that the chairman is a guy who lied about his teammates being sexually assaulted and now is a shill for another convicted rapist. Yeah, looking you, Gym Jordan, what a sad excuse of a human being.

So this just happened as I am walking out of the stadium, I almost get knocked down by a guy who was walking in front me, stopped and made a u-turn right into me. And who is he clearing the way for but Mike Pompouseo, also known as Mike Pompeo. Who was without a mask, of course😱

blocked me while taking a shot at me (guess she’s only tough on the courts). She is apparently arguing that she shot her many covers b/4 publicly claiming she was too socially anxious to deal w/press. Truth is she just doesn’t like Qs she can’t control. Admit it.
My take on Jeffrey Epstein- why there was such secrecy and he was let off with a slap on the wrist? It was not about protecting Epstein the pervert, but rather about protecting the identities of rich and famous men who had “partied” with Epstein. A case of “too big to fail”, IMO.
So grateful to be back on my beloved Aspen Mountain , finally. Was supposed to go before Christmas but my body had other ideas. Day 1 is in the books:)

Why is it that it’s ok to tell athletes to stay on our lane, as in SHUT UP AND DRIBBLE, but you hardly ever hear this same trope about business people, doctors, lawyers etc. ?
Why is that?
