A nice Sunday. I watched unheralded Brian Harman slog out a six stroke win in the rain in the British Open. Congrats to Brian Harmon. If anyone had Wyndam Clark and Brian Harman winning the U.S. and British Opens two months ago…. then I’d say you’re really smart and should have a blog of your own.
Brian Harman’s win ends this year’s run of the majors. Jon Rahm won the Masters, Florida Panthers wannabe Brooks Koepka won the PGA….we now have Wyndam and Brian as our Open winners.
Hence, we now head to the Fed-Ex Challenge Cup and then it will be pretty much from there we start to assimilate towards the Saudi Arabian PGA. Sounds pretty audacious, but really when you consider T Boone Pickens and Carl Icahn leveraged a state funded university in the Big 12 ….I don’t see the big fuss with what the Saudis just did. But that’s just me.
One suggestion to you sports journalists covering the new Saudi tour….I would strongly urge you to be very positive with your coverage so as you don’t end up in a box cut up into small pieces from a chainsaw. See the glass half full…..would be my suggestion.
Now….Michael Schmerconish’s Question of the Week was pretty basic….’Why Does Joe Biden Have the Second Lowest Approval Rating of the U.S. Presidency in the Modern Era History?’
I think most serious historians like myself…consider the modern era began in 1960 when JFK nudged Richard Nixon to win the White House. Since then, only one first term president has had a lower approval rating than Biden’s 30 per cent marker. That would be Jimmy Carter in 1979, just before he got smoked by Ronald Reagan.
So…the answer to Michael’s question had an overwhelming winner….that being, 49 per cent voted political polarization was the reason for Joe Biden’s bad numbers.
I disagree. As a nation, we’ve been bitterly divided since Bush 43’s asension to the White House in 2000 when it appears Al Gore got rigged in Florida. I mean since then…it’s been pretty much war, right?
The reason I think Joe Biden’s numbers are so bad is that he’s not Barack Obama. He’s too old. He stumbles with his speech, and his second son Hunter makes Billy Carter look like a five star asset.
Barack Obama will probably go down as the most aspirational president in the history of America. Period.
So when you follow someone like President Obama and you have a female black vice-president who makes Hillary Clinton seem cuddly….nothing is going to come easy for Joe Biden in 2024.
You CNN voters overthought this one.
That’s it for me tonight.
Tomorrow is Monday and I have a blood lab then a physical therapy session with Charity.
I think I’ll wear my 2008 Obama for President t-shirt and see how Tyler reacts.
Have a nice Monday and be kind to others in this heat.
