  • Random Thoughts

    What is it with L.A. and fires?  First it was the wild fires of 2024 which they finally put out but now when everything is nice and quiet well…  They start burning cars.  Is it something primal in the nature of the citizenry?  Is it a sacrifice to the Gods?  Will they offer up sheep or goats next?  Or perish the thought, Virgins?

    And the Iranians have pulled out of negotiations with the U.S. over their nuclear program.  The United States has been trying to stop Iran from getting The Bomb, the Atom Bomb.  Negotiations have been going on for decades.  Now some may say Iran pulled out of the negotiations because they are angry with the U.S..  The U.S. backs Israel and Israel just bomb, bomb, bombed Iran.  But we’re kind of guessing that the Iranians can only negotiate their would be Atom Bomb when it was a would be bomb, not a gone baby gone bomb.  It seems the ace they had tucked in their sleeve, just slipped out and blew away.

    One good thing The Diddy has done is; no matter how many guys get caught cheating with interns or other women, no matter how many guys get caught going to a strip club, no matter how many guys get caught with escorts, no matter how many guys get caught doing illegal drugs, it will all seem tame and even nostalgic.  The Diddy has pushed the boundaries of illicit behavior way, way out there.

    And Vance Luther Boelter has been caught.  He shot and killed two Minnesota State politicians and wounded two others.  Both ideological sides will try desperately now, to show how the Assassin was motived by the other side.  This is all the result of what somebody or somebodies have said.  Forgetting as always, that the Assassin is just your usual garden variety Psychopath.  The ideology invoked by the Assassin might sound somewhat rational but it comes from an irrational mind.  Try to remember that as the Talking Heads all weigh in on the subject from left to right and all points on the compass

  • The Job

    Elon The Richest Man In The World and Donald Trump POTUS are feuding!  OMG!  It could even be double OMG or as readers of this column know it as OMG!! which is the absolute end of it all.  But that’s only if it is real.  Right now it seems too much like the WWE.  Maybe it will end with Trump hitting Elon over the head with a folding chair.  Maybe it will end with Elon writing a book ‘My Struggle’ detailing how he was humiliated and denigrated during his tenure at the White House.  How Trump is a meanie and how Elon endured the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune”.  Then again, there has been a whole lot of those books and it might not sell at all.  Better to go with the folding chair over the head.  If they do it right, Elon won’t feel a thing.  If they do it wrong, it will only hurt Elon’s head.  His ego will be intact.

    BTW this all begins when Elon loses his job as the head of D.O.G.E..

    Then there is Karen Jean-Pierre she was Old Brains Biden’s Press Secretary.  She’s writing a book about how she is no longer a democrat but an Independent.  That’s the name of her new book, ‘Independent’.  And ‘Independent’ will tear the cover off the Old Brains Biden Administration, supposedly.  Some have speculated that there is no way she could have written a 300 page book between election night 2024 and now.  There isn’t enough time.  That presupposes that she wrote it.  We mean there are a whole lot of books out there with authors names on them that were written by someone else.  So maybe someone else started writing it as a plan B.  Plan A was Old Brains or Harris wins and she still has a job.

     And many of you may be wondering why a 41 year old Aaron Rogers signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, for one more season.  We mean he’s a multi-millionaire and a shoo in for the Hall of Fame once he retires.  His last two seasons due to age and injury were nothing to write home about.  So why?  Why risk a season of mediocrity after so much excellence?  Why risk painful injury more prevalent with age?  Why?  

    Well, he’s an NFL  Quarterback and now he has a job.  And as we know now, it’s the job.  It is always the job.

  • Wonder

    This just in.  Dan Bongino and Kash Patel, they are the Deputy and the Director of the FBI by the way, have found boxes, that’s right boxes of evidence!  Stuff that has been hidden and when it is released Dan and Kash say, you will be shocked!

    Now we don’t want to pour cold water on you but our first reaction was, who keeps paper files anymore?  That’s what you put in boxes, paper.  It’s the 21st Century.  We don’t have any paper around here and we’re just a single voice in the wind.  It was a little hard at first to give the paper up but once we did, we found a lot of mess went with it and well, we are better organized too.  And we’re not the world’s preeminent law enforcement agency.

    But Dan and Kash are going to release these files and the Epstein files too!  Brace yourselves people, the shock is coming.

    In ancient Tribal societies the people in charge, the inner circle, the Politburo if you will, had secrets.  It turned out that the secrets weren’t much of a big deal, it’s just that the Politburo had them.  The rest of the Tribe, was just left to wonder.

    And as the Diddy trial unfolds, the people who say that the Prosecution has overreached have not relented or changed their minds.  Of course they have to believe that not only Cassie but another 12 or 15 other people are also lying.  Everybody is lying.  While we don’t think that’s possible, it’s not out of the realm of possibility.  Nothing is.  But that crowd thinks Diddy will walk.  Then there is a whole lot of us who think Diddy is going straight to hell.  Well straight to hell after he spends the rest of his life in a 6 by 8 cell.

    But we also realize that Diddy might be able to buy off a few jurors and get a hung jury.  It was uncovered that John Gotti had bribed one juror in one of his acquittals.  Then again he had two other trials that ended in acquittals.  We’re not saying that he bribed jurors in those cases but he obviously was not allergic to the idea.

    Then there is the wisdom of Suge Knight who thinks Diddy is better off in his 6 by 8 because  “Diddy can get all the baby oil he wants in prison.”.  And that “Diddy will be safer in prison than out on the street.”.  Who can argue with that?  Certainly not us.

    But no matter how this trial ends, guilty on all counts, an outright acquittal or a hung jury, a whole lot of people will have been right.  A whole lot of people will have been wrong.  And either way, many of us , will be left to wonder.

    P.S. That is a picture of Cassie Ventura at the top of the page.  We figured you’d rather look at her than Dan Bongino, Kash Patel or even P. Diddy, Puff Daddy, Puffy Daddy, Brother Love, Love, Sean Combs.

  • Bad Choices and Mistakes

    We’re pretty sure you’ve seen Dateline or 48 Hours, so you know the scene where the killer is convicted and he gives an interview from Prison.  He gets interviewed by someone like Josh Mankiewicz.  They set up all the lights and the microphones.  The Convicted Killer is sitting laid back in his chair.  His arms are just hanging at his sides like he’s all relaxed.  But it’s really because he’s a psychopath and doesn’t really care about anything.  Including the dead victim.

    J.M.  “At sentencing you showed no remorse and still said I’m innocent.  Do you still say that now?”

    C. K. is short for convicted killer.  C.K.  “Yes.  I’m innocent.  They’ve convicted the wrong guy.  This has been a miscarriage of justice.”

    J.M.  “But they found your DNA all over the crime scene.”

    C.K.  “Well she was my girlfriend.  I just about lived there so of course my DNA would be there.”

    J.M.  “But they found your bloody finger prints on the kitchen knife that was the murder weapon.”

    C.K.  “I was set up.”

    J.M.  “But you have a history of violence, two convictions for assault and one was with a deadly weapon.  You did three years for that.”

    C.K.  “I made bad choices.  But I’ve taken responsibility.  I own it.”

    J.M.  “Your girlfriend, the victim here, had an order for protection against you.”

    C.K.  “I made bad choices.”

    J.M.  “You didn’t testify and you don’t have to but if you didn’t do it, wouldn’t you like to have told your side of the story?”

    C.K.  “Yes.  I should have.  That was a mistake.”

    This type of interview came to mind because Jake Tapper pictured above has just written a book about the mental decline of Old Brains Biden.  Jake Tapper is also a Talking Head and one of The Cognoscenti Of The Known World over there at CNN.  If anyone had mentioned that Old Brains was losing it while he was President, Jake Tapper would insist that Old Brains was just fine.  And, Jake Tapper like a good Pit Bull would go on the attack calling Old Brains’ detractors a lot of bad things, including “conspiracy theorists”.

    Then Old Brains was forced out because well a whole lot of people realized he was non compos mentis.  Then Jake Tapper decided to write his book about it.  Forgetting of course, how he had said Old Brains was just fine and he attacked anyone who said otherwise.  Now of course, he’s making the rounds to sell his book.  And he’s got to answer questions about it.

    Interviewer or I.  “You’ve written a book about the mental decline of Joe Biden but while he was in office you said he was fine.  You even attacked people who pointed out his mental decline.  I think you referred to them as “conspiracy theorists.”

    J.T.  “That was a mistake.  I was wrong and they were right.  I’ve even called Lara Trump and apologized to her  I’ve taken responsibility for that.”

    I.  “But don’t you think you should have noticed the mental decline of President Biden?”

    J.T.  “I made mistakes.”

    I.  “But you attacked anyone who dared to say President Biden was losing it.”

    J.T.  “I made bad choices.”

    I.  “But why should anyone believe you?”

    J.T.  “Well everyone makes mistakes.  And I take responsibility for mine.  I own them.  I should have paid more attention.  I should have listened.  I made bad choices.  I should have seen President Biden’s mental decline.  That was a mistake.”

    Now we don’t like comparing Jake Tapper, Talking Head and one of The Cognoscenti Of The Known World, to a convicted killer  but it’s eerie how their answers are just, so similar.

  • Quiz Time

    Yes it’s that time again. Time to see if you have been paying attention and if you have grasped what is going on in the world. Remember “Democracy dies in darkness.”

    A. An old car company from the 20th century.

    B. A game played by kids in the 1950’s.

    C. Something you do on or about April 15th of every year.

    D. None of the above.

    Question 2.

    As April 15th looms on the horizon, we’ve have found out that.

    A. I.R.S. workers pay their taxes on time, just like you and me. Or as one I.R.S. employee said. “We’re no better than anyone else. We have a duty just like all Americans, to pay our taxes.”

    B. They have until Christmas to file their own tax returns.

    C. I.R.S. employees owe 45 million in back taxes. Or as one I.R.S. employee said. “We run the joint. If we don’t pay our taxes what are you going to do about it? Who are you going to call?”

    D. Answers A and B but not C.

    E. Answers A and C but not B.

    Question 3

    Disney’s latest live action remake of Snow White is

    A. A movie that is breaking box office records and is better than the original.

    B. A movie about a girl and an apple.

    C. A movie about a girl and some short guys.

    D. A movie that redefines what it means to be a girl, along with, some short guys and an apple.

    E. A and C.

    F. B and C.

    Question 4

    The Trump Administration inadvertently let a reporter listen in on a meeting that discussed the bombing of the Houthis in Yemen.

    A. This is a serious breech of security because the Houthis now know who bombed them.

    B. This is a serious breech of security because the Houthis now know which type of airplanes, bombed them.

    C. This is not a such serious breech of security as a whole lot of the Houthis went on the get the 72 virgin package, so they never found out who bombed them. The could only guess.

    D. A and B but not C.

    E. B and C but not A.

    F. All of the above.

    This quiz was a little tough as there is more than one correct answer to some of the questions here. We like to do this because it forces the student to focus. Quizzes like life, are not fair.

    Answers. Each correct answer is worth 25 points.

    Question 1. Answer is D. This one was easy but maybe a little tricky, as there is only one D in D.O.G.E. Just like there is no I, in team.

    Question 2. Answer is E, as both A and C are true. This one was a little tough, as the news reported that I.R.S. employees owe 45 million in back taxes but we assume that it wasn’t all of the I.R.S. employees. There are always people in any situation, who do the right thing. Even paying their taxes.

    Question 3. Answer F. This was a little tough, as we didn’t bother to see the movie. But we do know that they kept the apple in this version and there are some short guys. Originally there were Dwarfs in the tale of Snow White but we’re not sure if we can use that term or if you can put actual Dwarfs in a movie nowadays. But we do know that the guys in the new movie are short. We could have or should have a more definitive question but then for that to happen, someone would have had to sit through the whole movie. So, give yourself 10 points for any answer you put down but only F, gets 25 points.

    Question 4. Answer A, B, C, D, E & F. With all the crazy reporting on the matter, you can give yourself 25 points for any answer here. We’re tough task masters but we’re not heartless.

    If you got 100, CONGRTUALTIONS! You’re a winner baby! We used to give out prizes but with the price of eggs nowadays, not to mention gas… We knew you would understand. So now, no prizes but the heartfelt knowledge, that you know what’s going on the world.

    If you got anything less… Well this was a little tough, as there were multiple correct answers and fake news being what it is, trying to figure what’s actually going on in the world, is not so easy. If you were able to complete all the questions, give yourself a pat on the back.

    Not since Who Shot J.R. has there been so much anticipation over the release of anything like there has been over the release, of the remaining JFK files.  Oh wait, most of you might not remember Who Shot J.R.?  There was this TV show called ‘Dallas’ and J.R. was the mega rich, shady, double dealing character, who got shot in the last episode of a season.  Everyone had to wait till the next season to find out if J.R. lived and Who Shot J.R.?  ‘Dallas’ was the number 1, T.V. show back in the day, when that designation meant something.  Just about everyone in the country got into ‘Who Shot J.R., including people who never watched the show.  Betting on the question of ‘Who Shot J.R. grew rapidly and odds on the different characters in show, were set, just like it was the Superbowl.  Then office pools were set up as well.  Again, just like the Superbowl.  The betting was fierce and almost every office had a pool.  JFK, on the other hand, was the 35th President of the United States and he was assassinated in Dallas, no connection to the TV show, back on November 23, 1963.

    At first, we were told and most everyone believed, that the assassination of JFK was the work of a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald.  But a few years later the conspiracy theories began and they haven’t stopped since.  We’ve always had our money on LBJ, who had been the Vice President but we’re not into conspiracy theories, so we’ve never printed that before.  But now, with the release of all the files, we know…  Well… nothing.

    And this after all these years of conspiracy theories on top of conspiracy theories.  Theories  like…  It was the C.I.A, the F.B.I, the Joint Chiefs, the Mafia, the Russians, Fidel Castro, Cuban Exiles, the Bay of Pigs survivors, the Watergate Burglars, All of the Above, Some of the Above and just about anyone else, you want to throw in there, like LBJ, our favorite.  And, even though there is nothing in this new release of the files, it won’t stop the conspiracy theorists.  It will just whet their appetites.  They will see conspiracy in any mention of the aforementioned cohorts and others we and you have forgotten about.  Hell, the conspiracy theorists will see conspiracies in the smudges and coffee stains, left on the documents.

    In the end, the President got assassinated.  Like it of not, everyone got over it.  Even Jackie his wife, who married a billionaire.  And, the rest of the Kennedys too, who went on to drive their cars, boats and planes into things just like they always did.  Rumor has it that they weren’t too good, with wagons and carts back in the old country.

    There is never going to be a note in any file that says.  ‘I shot the President from the Grassy Knoll.  Yours truly, Joe Meltzer.’  

    It’s going to be just like Who Shot J.R.?  Once everyone knew it was Kristen, his Sister-in-law/Mistress and all the bettors and the office pool winners were paid off, it was just one big FUGGETTAABOUTTITT!!!

    So everyone, just FUGGETTAABOUTTITT!!!

    P.S. J.R. survived getting shot and went on to be the shady, double dealing character for quite a few more seasons of ‘Dallas’.
