NEXTRUSH UNPLUGGED:  SUMMER EDITION



Music Link:





One of my favorite groups, the Fifth Dimension, with a song from 50 years ago 1969.

This week so much about landing on the Moon 50 years ago which we remember this coming weekend.

Apollo 11 blasted off on July 16, 1969 all the mainstream media of the time focused on it with "Uncle Walter" Cronkite of CBS,  Chet Huntley, David Brinkley and Frank McGee leading the pack at NBC and Frank Reynolds fronting the less viewed ABC coverage.   The other two had bigger ratings in their news operations.

ABC played back the July 16th, 1969 coverage in a condensed five minute segment and here's a clip of that:





At best the much heralded Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids would only round up 2,000 of the millions in this country illegally.

There's been so much hype and so little evidence of any actions taking place, activity at ICE facilities and so on.

I used to watch and maybe some of you have watched the President's friend Vince McMahon on television over the years leading the audience one way, then the other way and then back to the first thing and so on etc. etc. etc.

The wrestling show, the WWE show just seems to be going on and on     We don't get literal enforcement of the law.

But the show can revolve around personalities and trashing personalities to keep your attention while there are no raids going on, no roundups and even if they were it would be a drop in a bucket.

"Go back where you came from"


I've heard variations on that in my lifetime directed at various persons.

I remember a guy coming here to a meeting in York County, Pennsylvania back around 1970 to discuss the return to Africa of people that came from Africa originally.

Slaves did return to Africa and started Liberia in the 1840's its worth noting.

But this guy wanted it to happen circa 1970 and he used some pretty colorful language standing there with his uniform, hood and all.

I'm talking about a KKK rally to be honest with you.

President Trump distracting us from the raids that did not happen.


I'm not distracted.


The President emphasizing racism and hatred of Jews in the ranks of the members of Congress he wanted "to go back" in follow up tweets Monday.


My message to the President is to take some action in a positive direction by pardoning a man who helped him during the 2016 campaign at Co-Chair of the New Hampshire Veterans Coalition for Trump.

Some classic country music from the 1970's as I enjoyed it, Ronnie Milsap.


Have the raids started yet?     The latest tweaking of the message is that those who hate America can leave it according to the President.

Distracting from getting illegals out of our country, when do the raids begin?

When does Jerry Delemus get his pardon?

British Politics....

A week from Tuesday the new Tory leader and British Prime Minister will be announced.

A week from Wednesday Theresa May makes her final speech to Parliament, resigns and the new Prime Minister sees the Queen.

Expectations the new PM will be Boris Johnson.

Four big political parties in the polls right now and other political parties off the side like UKIP....

The United Kingdom Independence Party abandoned by Nigel Farage for his new "mainstream" look with the Brexit Party.

But UKIP carries on looking for a new leader and excluding the old leader, Gerard Batten, from the contest.     More at the link.....UKIP WAR PLAN PURPLE ON GERARD BATTEN

And forget about Iran for a minute, what about sanctions on Turkey.   The European Union moving to sanction Turkey over oil-natural gas drilling in the waters around Cyprus.

Two Turkish vessels have been drilling in waters claimed by Cyprus.   There are a lot of players in this energy rich region like Greece, Cyprus and Israel.

More on the sanctions from the AFP French news agency.....LINK

And what does the United States plan to do about Turkey's acquisition of the Russian S- 400 air defense system?

Seven planes carrying S-400 components already have landed and deposited their loads onto Turkish soil.

The word published in "Foreign Policy" is that President Trump's advisers want to sanction Turkey and this is based on reporting from "Bloomberg".

What kind of sanctions on Turkey?


"punishing sanctions"



But the "wildcard" is the POTUS who makes the final call.

When I was a young kid growing into my teenage years the music I loved to listen to, the sounds of country music.   And I experimented with some adult beverages, too.
