On Trump’s
legal front bad news for the ex-president as the judge in the civil law suit
brought by the New York AG Letitia James who ran for office on a promise to
“get Trump” issued a partial summary judgment on the over stating asset
valuations in applying for credit and forfeited the Trump organization’s
ability to do business in New York. The ruling puts a damper on the latest
WAPO’s poll showing Trump leading Biden 52% to 42%.
On the Biden canine front
the adage that a dog is a man’s best friend seems no longer applicable if the
dog is Commander or if the man is Biden as a new report out that Commander has
bitten a Secret Service Agent in the White House for the 11th time
(we know that Secret Service Agents vow to take a bullet to protect the
president but taking a vicious dog bite is not in the job description).
On the football front, Colin
Kaepernick with Aaron Rogers’ season ending injury must be jumping for joy as
he is trying to be signed by the New York Jets who have Zach Wilson who is not
impressing anyone. He is trying to get his foot in the door by offering his
services as a veteran QB for the scout team to help prepare the Jets’ defense.
On the argument for gun
control front on the night of March 3 Pedro Ramos picked up his pregnant wife
and 6 year old child at the Houston Airport and drove to a nearby Jack-In-The
Box and ordered a combo meal from Alloniea Ford
who got into an argument over whether the curly fries had been delivered
which escalated despite a failed attempt to calm Ford down as she started
throwing ketchup packages at Ramos and he started throwing things back; she
pulled a handgun and he sped away as she fired several shots as he sped away
all captured on surveillance film. Ford was fired and was released from
probation in June of this year which begs the question why wasn’t Ford charged
with attempted murder and why was she not schooled in the idea that the
customer is always right by her employer. Jack-In-The-Box is being sued for the
acts of its employee and failure to vet her.
On the retail crime front
Philadelphia once known as the “City of Brotherly Love” should now be known as
the “City of Brazen Looters” as roving gangs of large numbers of teenaged
looters attacked at Foot Locker, Apple Store and Lululemon in the city’s City
Center with the outnumbered police only able to arrest 10-15 and what is also
very frightening confiscate 2 handguns (this sort of behavior should rise to
the level of felonies and perhaps become easier to hold parents culpable for
their kid’s violent thieving actions.
On the failed Bidenomics front,
Miami Heat superstar Jeremy Butler who is guaranteed $146,396,031 filled up his
gas hogging Bentley and was outraged it cost $145 which he claimed to be
“highway robbery.” He can afford the cost and better yet to be more
environmentally friendly buy a Tesla to avoid “highway robbery” each time he
needs to fill up.
On the Keystone Kops front the
Reds finally got their act together to pass a procedural vote to have 4 funding
bills come up for vote with some concern that Marjorie Taylor Green is dead set
against funding for Ukraine. Sadly this right wing zealot must not have read
anything on Sudetenland Appeasement and its emboldening of Hitler to invade
Poland and kick off WWII. She needs to substitute Ukraine for the Sudetenland,
Putin for Hiter and the Baltic Republics and Poland for Poland which would move
us into Article 5 of NATO and nuclear obliteration.
On the porous southern
border front, over the weekend the CBP apprehended some 16,500 illegals as the
surge continues unabated. In a we can believe it Mexico has announced it will
start deporting some illegals to their home countries. It is mindboggling that
Biden was oblivious to the fact that that his executive order on almost 500,000
Venezuelans would cause a surge among that group who are appearing more and
more in those crossing illegally.
On the celebrity tax evasion
front, noted Singer Shakira is being charged again for tax evasion for income
earned in 2018 with Spanish authorities claiming she owes $7.1 million.

Noted Holidays: National Meso
Day: Created by Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation in 2004 and
celebrated on this day since then and recognized by Congress in 2010 to create
awareness of this cancer caused by exposure to asbestos to promote early
diagnosis to give victims a far better survival chance. Some 3,000 cases of
mesothelioma are diagnosed each year with the pleural form being the most
common and sadly the most deadly with a 5 year survival rate after diagnosis of
only 12%.
Word of the Day: The word
of the day is “averruncate” which means to ward off something not enjoyed like a shark attack.
Song
of the Day: The number 1 song on this day in 1980 was “Upside Down”
by Diana Ross on a run of 4 weeks to share number 1 status with 16
other songs achieving number 1 ranking while 6 acts, including John Lennon who
was the 4th artist to achieve that status posthumously,
achieved number one status for the first time. Here is a recording
of Diana Ross performing “Upside Down”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDHW5wXBvLw

Historical Events in Rhyme
1.
On this day in 2008 Swiss Inventor and aviation enthusiast Yves Rossy became
the first person to gravity defy/And after stepping off from a plane with a jet
pack with wings across the English Channel fly/After a 9 minute flight came to
an end/Pull his rip cord and to the ground his parachute would him safely send.
2. On
this day in 1984 the idea of perpetuity for British rule in Hong Kong came to
an end/Without the water supplies of the New Territories back to Chinese rule
the Hong Kong by the Brits must send/ An agreement was signed to turnover Hong
Kong in 1997 to China ruled by the CCP/Those living in Hong Kong were condemned
to under the CCP losses of freedoms to see.
3. On
this day in 1981 Nolan Ryan set MLB record with his 5th no hitter/
But when it came to pitching records Ryan was no quitter/Threw 2 more no
hitters before his career was done/The record for most strike outs at 5714 was
easily won/Batters
facing his 100 m.p.h. fastball speed and dropping 90 degree curveball would be stunned/But
the best statistic that would show his domination/The batting averages against
him were .204 to send batters to minor leagues damnation.
4. On
this day in 1973 the Concorde made its first crossing across the Atlantic
to New York/In supersonic speed that business travel it hoped would support/
But sonic booms over land killed the
L.A., SFO and Chicago planned routes/Only New York and Washington D.C. since
sonic booms were over the ocean did not give the Concorde the boot.
5. On this day in 1960
Americans watched the first televised debate between Nixon with his 5 O’clock
shadow/And a youthful well prepared JFK that to Nixon’s image of the seasoned
leader was a death blow/Images to the eyes always trump words heard by the
ear/Although it would be a close election, chances of a Nixon victory
disappeared/Not helped by his campaign that went to all 50 states/While JFK on states
with large electoral votes would concentrate.
Quote on the First Televised Debate Between
Nixon and Kennedy by Susan Estrich, noted American lawyer, professor and
campaign manager for Michael Dukakis’ failed campaign for president: “John
Kennedy won the first televised presidential debate among those watching it,
while Richard Nixon won among those listening on the radio.”
