Could Sarah Palin end up being Trump’s VP running mate, is that why she’s not listed to speak @ RNC next week?

Leave a comment

Trump  is about ready to announce his VP running mate finally which he will do that in NYC. In the link below is a list of people who will speak at the RNC next week. However, Sarah Palin’s name isn’t seen at all in the RNC schedule. She’s been a big supporter of Trump for a long while now and suddenly she’s not scheduled to speak at the RNC?

There could be a big reason for that as I think Trump might of actually picked Sarah Palin to be his VP running mate. Notice on the list the VP nominee will speak on Night 3. So if Sarah Palin has been chosen to be the VP running mate then she will speak on Night 3.

There has been a lot of talk that either Newt Gingrich or Ivanka Trump has been chosen to be the VIP running mate but it’s not gonna be them ’cause they’re scheduled to speak at RNC next week. The VP running mate will not be Jeff Sessions either ’cause he is listed to speak at the RNC.

If Sarah Palin is the VP for Trump then that would be cool. I still love Sarah Palin too. Palin and Trump would make a great team-up. Don’t be surprised if Trump’s running mate could end up being Palin. It would for sure upset the NeverTrumpers if it’s indeed, Sarah Palin. I hope he picked her. Palin being Trump’s VP would create a lot of controversy for sure and would drive the media crazy.

Whatever happened to watching the movie first before making an opinion? (New Ghostbusters film related)

1 Comment

These days more and more people have been giving their opinions on movies before it even comes out. Why has that been happening lately? I totally blame the internet for that for sure. These days social networking like facebook and twitter has been ruining the enjoyment of movies. Also movie critic websites like Ain’t It Cool News, CominSoon, The Hollywood Reporter and many others. Too many have been releasing too many movie scoops like releasing photos from the movies, revealing movie posters too early and things like that. That’s been happening a lot in the age of the internet which drives people into making an opinion before a movie comes out. I wish people would stop previewing what the movie is like before it comes out and maybe that would help stop judging the movie before it comes out but whatever.

I’ve always learned that it’s a pretty bad idea to negatively judge a film before it comes out. I always see the film first and then I make my opinion. What’s wrong with people when they review films before they even come out? I would never do that.

With that being said, I’m still willing to give the all-female “Ghostbusters” movie a chance. I’m gonna see it this weekend hopefully. Who knows, maybe I’ll even like it myself and maybe it won’t be all that bad?

I never listen to movie critics. That’s the last thing you want to do. Always go by your own opinion and not worry about what everyone else thinks.

Book Review: “Fortunate Son” by John Fogerty…

Leave a comment

So I finally finished reading John Fogerty’s rock memoir “Fortunate Son”. I thought it was a really good book. I’ve read many rock memoirs written by famous rock stars over the years and I think this one is the best one. Fogerty’s story is really interesting. This book is much different than all the others too. You know how most rock memoirs they mostly focus on the sex, drugs & rock n’ roll? Well, in this book you’re gonna read a lot about rock n’ roll but you’re not gonna read anything about sex & drugs. Why? Simply because Fogerty wasn’t into the music for girls and partying. He was strictly in it for the music alone.

In this book, goes from his childhood all the way up to his latest solo album release, “Wrote a Song For Everyone”. Fogerty went into talking about the making of each studio album he did with Creedence and his solo career which was interesting stuff to read. I liked reading about how he made each studio album.

The main reason why I wanted to read this book is ’cause not only that I’m a huge fan of CCR and Fogerty’s solo music, I wanted to read this book ’cause I wanted to read about his legal battle with Fantasy records and Saul Zaents. His legal battle with Fantasy records is pretty crazy stuff.

If you think being a rock n’ roll musician is easy well you might want to re-think that ’cause once you read this book, makes you want to think twice about getting signed. John had a difficult career, he really did. He had to go through betrayals with members of CCR and his feud with Fantasy records. When you want to be a rock musician, you have to deal with some setbacks ’cause you’re gonna through that a lot. You’re gonna have ups and downs in music. That’s the way it is. Even Fogerty went through ups and downs in his musical career.

Even though Fogerty went through a lot of negative stuff in his life, still though, he won the CCR catalog back which he totally deserves. He may have won his songs back but still though, it wasn’t an easy battle for him. That’s the thing when you want to be a musician, you got to deal with a lot of big egos and jealousies from people. Crazy.

If you’re a fan of CCR and a fan of rock music like myself, this is a must read book.

People finally woke up on Bernie Sanders, maybe they’ll be more careful on who they support next time???

1 Comment

So Bernie sold out his supporters by endorsing Hillary today. Bernie fans are raging mad. Many of Bernie’s die-hard supporters has turned their backs on him… in other words, no longer supporting him. The reason is many Bernie fans don’t want Hillary and they don’t like Bernie supporting her in order to take down Donald Trump. Bernie fans looks surprised and shocked today and I’m watching all this thinking to myself, really? They should have seen this coming a long time ago.

It’s amazing to see that many liberals & independent voters who supported Bernie finally realized what a liar and a fraud Bernie really is. Many of them feel stupid for supporting him. I’ve been trying to warn Bernie fans for a long time not to trust him but of course, they don’t listen. Why are they surprised that Bernie sold out his die-hard fans? Bernie’s a career politician. You can’t trust any career politician. Bernie’s been Senator for 30 years what has he accomplished during those years?

Bernie hates big business, Wall Street and banks… Bernie just sided with a woman who supports all of those. Bernie has always been friendly with Hillary.

Now a lot of Bernie fans who hate Hillary are either gonna go to Trump, Gary Johnson or Jill Stein.

It’s pretty clear that people are never careful on who they vote for ’cause they are so naive that they trust everything so easily. Will they be more careful on who they support next time? No. They will always be dumb and misinformed. Them planning to vote for Gary Johnson or Jill Stein to vote against Trump is proof of that. The Never Trump idiots will do anything so they won’t have to vote for Trump. They don’t care what the other candidates policies & issues are which is sad. It’s just that the Never Trump idiots will support anyone who hates Donald Trump which is even sadder.

They really do think Trump is bad for America which shows that they are even more misinformed but at least they finally woke up about Bernie Sanders, though. They shouldn’t have trusted Bernie to begin with. They now know how much of a whack job Bernie is which is amazing.

Lets see how many Bernie fans will go to Trump, Gary and Jill. I’ll be looking out for the polls on this one. I bet more ex-Bernie fans will go to Trump. Some will go to Gary and Jill but most will go to Trump. My bets are on it, y’all.

music

Bands & artists that everyone loves but I don’t like…

Leave a comment

I may have posted this topic a long time ago before but just for fun, I don’t mind doing it again. There are bands & artists out there that a lot of people like but I’m probably one of the very few that don’t care for that band or artist.

Well, here is a top 15 list of bands & artists that everyone loves but I don’t… if this list pisses off a few, I don’t care:

 

  • The Rolling Stones: Everybody loves the Stones but I’m probably one of the few who can’t stand ’em. I respect Keith Richards guitar playing but I don’t like Mick Jagger’s singing. There are some Stones songs that I actually do like, though. I’m just not that crazy about them.
  • Bob Dylan: I respect Dylan’s legacy but was never all that big of a fan. I never really bought his albums but there a few Dylan songs that I like but that’s about it.
  • John Mayer: Mayer is a great lead guitarist but I hate his songwriting. I don’t like his singing and I also think he’s overrated as hell.
  • Phantogram: I guess they count as a national act now so it’s safe to put them on here. Everybody seems to love Phantogram just because they’re from Greenwich and have a lot of Greenwich friends but I’m probably one of the few who don’t care for them. Yeah, I’ve heard their music, seen their videos and even saw them live once. I’m not trying to knock ’em, they’re not my cup of tea is all. Not sure what people see in them but whatever. I also think they’re overrated.
  • Ed Sheeran: Many love Sheeran but I can’t understand him. He’s just another overrated hack to me.
  • Prince:  I respect Prince’s legacy but I never really got into his music. Although I did watch the “Purple Rain” movie which is a good film.
  • The Dave Matthews Band: Used to love ’em but not anymore.
  • Red Hot Chilli Peppers: I stopped liking the Chilli Peppers after John Frusciante left the band. I don’t like their new guitarist.
  • Poison: A lot of people seem to dig this 80’s hair metal band with Brett Michaels but I never really got into them. Although, “Every Rose Has It’s Thorn” is the only good song I like from them.
  • Bon Jovi: Women love Jovi for his good looks and guys love him for the music. I’m probably one of the few who don’t care for Bon Jovi. Am I the only one who finds his singing voice annoying?
  • The Eagles: Like the Dude says in the Big Lebowski, “I hate the fucking Eagles, man”. I’m right there with him. I hate the Eagles too. Although, I’ll admit that “Hotel California” is the only song I like from them.
  • Coldplay: The only good album they did was “Rush of Blood To The Head” but other than that… once they’ve gone mainstream, they’re a pop band now.
  • Bruno Mars: Everybody seems to love this guy named Bruno Mars and people has been talking about him nonstop since his Superbowl appearance but I’m probably one of the few who don’t understand him. Another overrated hack.
  • The Weekend: A lot of people seems to be all over this guy but I can’t understand him as well. His music is also not my cup of tea at all. Sorry.
  • Florence and The Machine: A lot of people seem to all over them but I hope I’m not the only one who can’t stand Florence and her voice.

That’s all for now. I’m sure there’s more but can’t think of ’em right now.

video games

Planning on getting a Playstation 4 finally…

Leave a comment

So I’ve finally started saving up for a Playstation 4 and I should be able to get it next weekend. I know I’m late getting the PS4 but late is better than never right? The reason I’m getting the PS4 pretty soon is ’cause the reason is simple. Sony doesn’t release games for the PS3 much anymore. It’s getting harder to buy PS3 games ’cause of the PS4. All the new games coming out is PS4 exclusive. I’m planning to buy the PS4 that comes with “Call of Duty: Black Ops III” and I’m also planning on getting the new “Batman: Arkham Knight” game. That’s pretty much the reason why I’m getting the PS4 is to play the new “Batman: Arkham Knight” game. I’m a huge fan of the “Batman: Arkham” games for the Playstation ’cause I’ve played them all. Haven’t played “Arkham Knight” yet and I really want to.

Of course, I’ll still get other games for the PS4 as well… there are other games I’m interested in. I’m thinking about that “Overwatch” game, not sure.

I also want to get a game called, “7 Days To Die” which looks awesome. I’m also interested in those “Dark Souls” games ’cause I’m a huge fan of RPG games. I also want to get the “Deus Ex: Human Revolution” that’s coming out for the PS4 pretty soon. The game “Until Dawn” looks pretty cool too.

I’m still a pretty big video gamer. I prefer Playstation than other consoles. I don’t like Xbox and I don’t like the direction Nintendo has gone these days. Playstation for me all the way. Can’t wait to get the PS4. I’ve had the PS3 for a good several years now, time to make an upgrade.

Obama is trying his best to extend his presidency after 2017, enact martial law…

Leave a comment

Obama is trying to start a race war with the police which he is doing a good job at. He also left the borders wide open and intentionally allowing illegal aliens to enter the country. Obama has got ISIS going on and Islamic terrorism has become more of threat than ever. So with all this stuff going on, you can tell that Obama has something up his sleeve. Yes, you guess that right. Obama wants to continue his presidency after 2017 which is what he is doing. He is hoping to enact martial law even before Nov. 8th comes. Enact martial law, the elections will be cancelled and Obama will extend his presidency. If you do a little digging in order to enact martial law, the country must be under civil unrest and the country must be in a war.

I’ve been saying for a long time now that Obama is trying all he can to extend his presidency and still trying to make that happen. If you want to know my thoughts about all this Dallas stuff going on, it’s just Obama’s attempt to start a war with our police. Is Obama trying to get rid of the police in America? That’s what it seems like he’s trying to do. He wants to get rid of the police so we can feel helpless and useless. That’s why Obama is trying to make it okay to kill cops in America. He’s intentionally doing that as a way to destroy America.

I don’t care what people think. I stand with our police officers. It’s unfair that our police is being treated this way and they don’t deserve it. Shame on Obama and the media. It’s sickening to me that the media continues to defend the Dallas shooter. I support the police and it’s a real shame to see that this country made it okay to hate the police. Disgusting. The police should be respected ’cause they are the reason why we’re still alive today. So we should thank them and give them our support.

Obama wants a race war and a war against Islam for “martial law”. That’s what I think is going on and I’m sticking with it. Obama wants to extend his presidency ’cause he loves being president and his ego is so big. It’s crazy. Everyone wants to call Donald Trump a selfish and arrogant person but what about Obama? I’m so tired of people still sticking up for Obama when it shouldn’t be that hard to see how corrupt and evil he is.

Obama needs to go. Obama extending his presidency is not gonna happen ’cause Trump is gonna stop it from happening.

UFC

Last night’s UFC 200 ppv was surprisingly really good, glad I got it!

Leave a comment

Last night’s UFC ppv was worth the money after all ’cause I enjoyed every fight. Even Brock Lesnar vs. Mark Hunt was a really really good fight. Brock did it, though. He proved UFC fans wrong once again. Fans didn’t think Brock would be able to do it but he did. Lesnar won by unanimous decision. Most Lesnar fights were kind of quick and kind of boring but this one was actually a lot of fun. Lesnar vs. Hunt was a tough and brutal fight but both men did really great. Neither one didn’t want to lose over a KO or TKO so they did all they can to avoid that. Like I’ve been predicting Lesnar was gonna do all he can to avoid Hunt’s hard punches ’cause Lesnar knows Hunt is a hard hitter. Lesnar did exactly that. Well, Mark Hunt did punch Lesnar quite a lot and Lesnar fought back. Lesnar actually had a cut above his eye. This was a great fight ’cause you never knew what was gonna happen and it was unpredictable. Even though Mark Hunt lost, Hunt still was a pretty tough dude, though. I was real surprised by Lesnar ’cause he was doing really good and putting on an exciting fight actually. After last night, I respect Brock Lesnar even more now. I predicted Lesnar would lose the fight but thought wrong but I’m happy for Lesnar that he won for his comeback fight, though.

One thing for sure, I’m glad that Lesnar gave the police a shout-out after all the stuff going on in Dallas. That was awesome to see.

All the other fights were really good too. I loved Miesha Tate vs. Amanda Nunes, that fight was quick and brutal but really good. Miesha in a bloody mess and she tapped out, giving Amanda the victor and now Amanda is the new champ.

All the other fights were exciting too… Cain Velasquez vs. Travis Browne was great. So was Anderson Silva vs. Daniel Cormier, I’m still shocked that Silva lost Cormier. Silva is the greatest of all time and a legend. Aldo vs. Edgar was another good one.

It was an exciting UFC ppv last night. Definitely worth the money and glad I watched it. I don’t watch UFC ppvs all the time ’cause I don’t like paying a lot of money for ppvs but once in blue moon, I’ll watch one only if the card is good enough.

UFC

Just bought UFC 200 ppv, looking forward to it later tonight!!!

Leave a comment

I took a long break from watching UFC ppvs ’cause I hated paying a lot of money for them but I couldn’t resist this one. I really like Brock Lesnar. I have liked him for a pretty long time. Followed him through his WWE career and followed him through his UFC career. I’ve seen every Brock Lesnar UFC fight. For some reason Brock Lesnar is one of those guys that makes you feel that you can’t miss a UFC fight of his. I’m sure a lot of UFC fans feel the same way even if they don’t like him that much, that’s how much of a draw he is to the company.

I couldn’t resist this ppv ’cause I’m interested in seeing Lesnar vs. Mark Hunt since now this fight is the main event. This fight got moved to the main even ’cause Jon “Bone” Jones just got in trouble.

Lesnar vs. Hunt is an interesting fight ’cause you never know who’s gonna win this one. After doing a little research on Mark Hunt, I’ve heard his punches are really nasty. Would Brock Lesnar be able to avoid his hard punches? We’ll see. I predict that Brock Lesnar will lose to Mark Hunt due to one of his hard punches but we’ll see. Could Brock actually beat him? That’s why I want to watch this fight ’cause I want to see if Brock will be able to beat him or not.

Lesnar needs to realize that this isn’t WWE and I think he’ll find out that later tonight.

I’m also looking forward to Miesha Tate vs. Amanda Nunes ’cause I like women fighting.

Hope it’ll be a good ppv. I’m still a fan of UFC and MMA.

Bill O’ Reilly shares photos of Obama wearing Muslim garb… of course, liberals are outraged…

Leave a comment

ObamaIslam1

Sometimes I don’t understand those dumb liberals. They believe it’s all wonderful and great for celebrities like Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali being Muslims but when it comes to Barack Obama, they get all mad and get all offended. Liberals are like, “It’s not true”, “Barack is no Muslim”, “You’re a racist”. I don’t get liberals at all… is it great to be a Muslim or not? They seem to be champions for Islam but they don’t like it when Barack gets called a Muslim. It’s really insane, man. Wow.

On the Bill O’ Reilly show, Bill shares never-before seen photos of Barack wearing Muslim garb and claims to be at Malik’s muslim wedding. Keep in mind this wasn’t the first time that Barack has been caught wearing Muslim garb.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3678209/Bill-O-Reilly-reveals-pictures-young-Obama-Islamic-wedding-claims-emotional-attachment-Muslim-world-hurt-USA.html

Why do liberals get upset when Obama gets accused of being a Muslim and they claim to be champions for Islam? More proof that liberalism is a mental disorder for sure.

Obama is not a closet Muslim ’cause he’s been publicly saying that he is a Muslim for a long while now. You watch his speeches and he’ll publicly admit it many times but the media just ignores it. It’s hard to catch Obama admitting he is a Muslim but it’s there. Do you think Muslims would allow non-Muslims to wear Muslim garb? I don’t think so.

I think liberals get upset ’cause they can’t take the truth that Obama is a Muslim and it bothers them that they just elected a Muslim president. End of story.
