Good Morning,

I had a bust couple of weeks. I got a job interview at a prestigious university and went to a couple of fairs. Prince William County Fair was underwhelming (I guess some of the county fair have been underwhelming the past couple of years) and went to Vietfest, which was fun but hot.

Well, I'm taking cover today https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/08/07/dc-weather-alert-severe-thunderstorms-wind/

I was at church and I admit I did watch the #USWNT game on mute. That’s why favorites don’t want to go to PKs. The World has caught up. US still have the best skill and athletes, but don’t have a coach who knows tactics and will see this federation will let go of Vlatko.

Also, I didn’t see the postgame, but I assume Carli Lloyd was disappointed and mad the team, but internally when she saw Rapinoe missed her PK, she smiled on the inside. #cososports

Apparently, Microsoft Excel is a sport

I went to DC today because Skittles were given away Mustard Skittles with a partnership with French’s. Well… #frenchsmustardskittles

I forgot to set my alarm to 3 AM for USA-Portugal and didn't see the match. Apparently, I didn't miss anything except the bickering after the game from Fox about celebrating. #cososports #WWC23 #USWNT

Busy day already. I got my check from my raffle win, finally got my health insurance cleared up, and a couple of opportunities have come with it. Also, going to Nashville in September. I’m actually quite surprised it’s a 2 hour flight since Tennessee borders Virginia.

I finally got this. 🙃

Tricia Cotham was a Republican all along who acted like a Democrat to sucker them in. Time to hire investigators and internet sleuths. https://t.co/d27oZTWrgF

I’m actually surprised this only costs $15,000, but no, I won’t pay that much to turn to a dog. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/news-life/man-spends-22000-to-become-a-border-collie-dog/news-story/ced5e61487e73f28c2cbcc257e4ff746

We have Charlie Kirk asking for an assassination attempt on President Biden. Sadly, the media won’t go up in arms because they have to worry to get more eyeballs and the sake of profitability, which is deranged. https://view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/16905136422531dad7ec55c50/raw

So Abigail Spanberger will run for Virginia Governor in 2025 and will not run for her house seat, which makes it interesting for the House race next year. It's going to be very competitive and a big get for GOP if they capture the seat.

Also, Spanberger could be the favorite in the Dem Primary and we could have Spanberger vs. Winsome Sears for Governor. It will be so funny that white women would prefer a black Republican over one of their own for white supremacy. #VA07 #cosopolitics

A tie. Not surprised by the result. It will be interesting what Vlatko does next game and what he does the rest of the tournament #uswnt #fifawwc #wwc23 #cososports

US now putting on the pressure #uswnt #fifawwc #wwc23 #cososports

The midfield is leaving the Dutch with many opportunities #uswnt #fifawwc #wwc23 #cososports

Don't piss of Horan or you get punished #uswnt #fifawwc #wwc23 #cososports

The 5 midfield setup is killing #uswnt. This is where you miss Becky and Mallory #wwc23 #fifawwc #cososports

The Dutch are truly evil #wwc23 #fifawwc #cososports #uswnt

When Sinead O’Connor ripped up a picture of Pope John Paul II on SNL, I didn’t have any reaction. She had a purpose but had no idea what it was. Now we know why she did what she did and people are aware now. I’m a Catholic and sometimes I questioned the church on their practices. RIP Sinead

Frankly and I hate to say this, this was a big win for Rupert Murdoch and the shrewdest of moves. This is I want Disney to succeed. If you make Rupert irrelevant, support of channels including Disney and stop Rupert's reign of terror.
