Rant #3,959: Bits and Pieces

Yes, I have returned!

I feel lousy, but more about that later.

I just felt it was time to come back, and bring back "Bits and Pieces" as I return to this perch.

As some of you know, I have been posting some things on Facebook since I had my latest surgery, and I can now post them here too.

So without further ado, here is the latest installment of "Bits and Pieces."

President Donald Trump Attends NBA Finals Game At Madison Square Garden: To those who are getting completely bent out of shape at the President's invite to the Knicks game, this is what I have to say to you:

If Obama and/or Biden was invited, you phoneys would say nothing, and probably applaud the gesture.

We know why you are so "aghast" at this invite, don't we now?

And before you imbeciles bring it up, I am not MAGA, did not vote for Trump, but what I am is a realist, and some of you are just so ignorant.

Trump was a Knicks fan before anyone knew who he was, so this is just whining.

And remember, Mayor Mamdani, a real, honest to goodness piece of garbage, was there too. 

What do you have to say about that?

Riot Ensues After Knicks Loss In NBA Finals Game At Madison Square Garden: What did anyone expect? 

This generation has no respect for anything, and when you get so many of them together, mix it with a loss, this is what can happen. 

We are better than this. 

And if the Knicks win it all, the NYPD will have their hands full. 

If this happens again, ban public watch parties, period.

[Note: The city banned the watch party at MSG for Game 4, which was the right call. Other watch parties around the city went on as scheduled.]

On the World Cup: The media has been falling all over itself to get the U.S. into soccer since the late 1950s.

It simply hasn't worked.

They are continuing to go head over heels for the World Cup since it is being played here, but really, most people don't give a hoot about this.

It is being directed at foreign nationals who live here now, who live here and yet root for their country of origin team over the U.S. team, and once it is over and done with, it will be like the Olympics; nobody will remember winners, losers or stars.

Soccer will always be a niche sport here, but the media is looking for the next bandwagon to jump on.

We don't need soccer here; it is a true mix of sports and politics, which should never mix to begin with, and it almost gives license to bullying, violence and anti-Semitic behavior.

We have enough of that over here already; keep it overseas.

My Health Situation: It really isn't too good right now, as after my latest surgery, I just don't feel like myself just yet.

This was a more involved surgery, because what they couldn't get out in the previous two surgeries they were hell-bent on getting out now, and they did it.

It has just left me feeling quite a bit out of sorts, hurting a little bit, and certainly not myself in the very least.

I am kind of stuck in the house for the remainder of the week, as I do not feel up to going out, nor should I in this condition.

My wife is doing most of the heavy lifting this week, and my son is "the man of the house" in my current condition.

I have to be patient, and I know it will be a couple of more days until I get back to somewhat normal.

So just please bear with me.

I might be in and out of here, I just don't know yet.

I have been doing work--in fact, I did some editing/writing after I returned home after the surgery--and that kind of takes me away from everything for a few moments.

I have been barely able to make 9 p.m., so my watching of the Knicks games has been severely hampered.

But if this is how I have to progress to retain my good health, then so be it.

So there it is.

I said what I said, and I don't take back anything I said, even if it isn't "Politically Correct" in the climate that we are in right now.

Someone has to say it, so I did.

And I have one more thing to say ...

Go New York ...

Go New York--

GO!
