I am standing with Hillary Clinton and Chelsea for the New Hampshire primary.

I have been behind Hillary 100 percent forever--I wish her the best.


from her website..................


Chloe --

We're facing long odds in New Hampshire tomorrow -- we're down in the polls, our opponent has been outspending us for weeks, and his campaign has been outraising ours in big ways.

But I know nothing can scare my mom away from a tough fight -- it's one of the reasons I'm so proud to be on this team. It would mean a lot to my mom to have you by her side as we head into tomorrow's election. 

Carl DeMaio on KOGO 600 San Diego: A One Sided Report

I loved Carl when he was with Sully on KOGO because I think he is a gifted radio personality even though we are on different sides of the fence politically.  Once Sully left and he was on his own the show is so crazy one-sided ultra right wing with the accent on punishing.

Every time I turn on the radio and hear his voice he is going on about Hillary:  how she is going to jail, laughing at her, making fun of her personal traits......why?

It's not a fair show or a news show or a political show when he talks that way, it is just his own hatred of women.

If they want to have a show like that they might as well bring back chip franklin.

KOGO just can't help themselves.

from the KOGO website:

DeMaio Report. Investigative journalism and inside knowledge with an eye on solutions. The show focuses on the issues that matter most to you.

This false and ridiculous statement appears on KOGO's website--I guess that's true if you are an ultra right-wing nut that hates women and democrats.  I do not really call his show investigative journalism--perhaps he is drinking the same Kool-Aid as Bill O'Reilly.

The DeMaio Report airs on KOGO 600 AM news/talk radio in San Diego weekdays from 3-6 PM.

Churchill Solitaire and Donald Rumsfeld: Conceptually Flawed



Jasin Bovi
I love and hate this game.


Chloe Louise
I also fell into this category.  

 Always love starting off the day with a good game of solitaire and a cup of coffee but one has to ask as they "soldier on" is this game flawed from the beginning. 

Suffering not actually being able to see the game and the difficulty of some of the cards falling off the grid or not sticking to the proper place it still seemed like more of the original concept was flawed. 


Most solitaire games of that nature--all of the cards out and face up--have a parking place of some sort or a rule allowing other than Kings to be placed in blank rows. Then, thinking that it was the difficult nature of the game I was forced to get out two decks and try it on my own. 

The deal did not make sense to me, either. The difficulty concept would not exist with a real deck--right? 

Could there be a mix-up in the game plan somewhere between Churchill, Rumsfeld and the developer. Is Rumsfeld flawed. 

Is the deal flawed placing new cards on every row unless it starts with a King? 
Grape St. Dog Park, San Diego


Was it me--the game was just too diabolical as Rums said. Rums keep referring to the devil's six as the problem but I did not see that as the giant issue. 

When I tried it with cards it was much easier and much more random and the devil's six did hold the game up on more than one occasion simply because it blocks the sequence to build up the cards. 

With the real deck it was much easier to play and see. The problem to me is that Rums keeps talking about the devil's six as the problem spot and other that that it is a regular solitaire game. 

Well, Donald must be a real card game and solitaire expert because the trial at the hard level is more difficult to move than 4 card spider. 

Somewhere there is a gap between Winston Churchill, Donald Rumsfeld and his basic solitaire knowledge and the developer--perhaps this is not this game creators bailiwick--and the info Donald spouts hawking the thing. 

Were all of the ducks in a row before the game was issued or the war ensued.

One is left asking themselves--is this what happened in Iraq. Donald Rumsfeld went around on all of the Sunday shows touting the brilliance of the war but left out certain points when George Bush went on to play the game.

Would you buy it............

Seriously, there are plenty of cute and perfect and difficult solitaire games out there for free--why would someone pay for a hint or an undo for something that does not really make sense in the first place.

Is Donald trying to fool us?



Donald Rumsfeld Has Released an Incredibly Frustrating Mobile Game

 | 4 FEBRUARY 2016 7:31 AM

churchill solitaire article
True to it's creator, it's been dubbed "the most diabolical version of solitaire ever devised."
If you're like me, you've probably spent a lot of your mental energy over the years pondering about the goings on of former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Is he keeping busy? Has he moved on to other business ventures? Are those business ventures video game based?
To put your worries at ease: the short answers to those questions are yes, yes, and you bet your ass they are!
Believe it or not, the 83-year-old Rumsfeld has apparently been shifting his focus from politics to mobile app development in recent years, and has just released his first game: Churchill Solitaire.
What makes Churchill Solitaire different than just regular old solitaire, you ask? Well, aside from boasting a title sequence comprised of black and white, World War 2 archival footage, Churchill Solitaire also features a 104 card deck as opposed to the usual 52 cards. Diabolical indeed!
"It's a card game that can frustrate even the most skilled player because a single move can make or break an entire game." described Rumsfeld in a developer essay on Medium.
"A number of hands are simply unwinnable. But the most steadfast players will gamely soldier on to find their way to victory."
And the early reviews for Churchill Solitaire? Well, they're mixed to say the least. Kotaku's rundown of the gamenoted the game's forced landscape perspective and cramped layout among the game's aesthetic errors, stating "The obstacle to building your columns is that they don't really fit on the phone screen. Shortly into my first game, Rumsfeld Solitaire warned me that I was getting too close to the edge, and advised me to rotate my device to get more room. It was Rumsfeld Solitaire, of course, that had chosen to put the phone in horizontal layout in the first place."
But the major issue with the game? Oh, only that it's apparently rigged:
Still, a fundamental error of design wasn't going to stop me. I played on, itty-bitty cards and all, and as I did so, an understated fact about the game became clear: It's rigged.
It has to be, by design. There are difficulty levels. The only way to set a solitaire game at different levels of difficulty is to stack the deck. The only way out was to spend more time, or start spending money, on something that was never really going to work out.
So if you're looking for a nearly-impossible mobile app game that requires "the pessimism of intelligence and the optimism of will," head over to the game's official page to download the free trial version for iOS devices (sorry Android users) today!

Bernie and Sid: Enter the Rude and Crude--WABC Radio New York City

So were these two radio rough riders sold to WABC News/Talk Radio at bargain basement prices, or what?

Because whatever this station is paying for these two wanna be talk jays is way too much.

Not only are they dull, dumb and boring but they are way over the line in bashing women.

No, they are not going to talk about my girl Greta Van Susteren in a negative fashion--mentioning her appearance as if they were Brad Pitt.

I guess WABC thought intellectual was way too expensive but in the long run without Geraldo Rivera and his investigative reporting sills and extensive knowledge of current events this station will not only suffer the ire of folks who do not want to hear women being trashed on a daily basis but also any one seeking any kind of information resembling news.

Their boys bathroom talk gets old fast and if their goal is humor they are far from it.

Seriously, it seems like WABC was trying to recreate the very successful, knowledgeable, funny and informative Curtis and Kuby Show that immediately follows but they are far from achieving success.

Sad for New York, WABC and an example for News/Talk Radio everywhere.

Predictably, this show will not last--it is way too embarrassing.

Geraldo Rivera may have been expensive and worth it but these two bozos are really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

WABC had plenty of skilled radio folks as in Larry Kudlow, the beautiful Rita Cosby, Noam Laden always does a fine job and can talk on both sides of issue without insulting the listeners, and Joan Hamburg, as well--what were they thinking.

A variety of folks would have been fine, too....there is plenty of talent available.

Let these boys clean up their act, talk to a few news/talk experts, get some expertise and then they can have a show.

What a sad day for WABC, the listeners, women, and talk radio, in general--Let's think this thing through, WABC, before we make these important decisions.

the Ronnie Republic Radio /Round-Up is giving this show two thumbs down
