Police released photo of Robert Card Lewiston mass shooting suspect:
On the crime front in Lewiston, Maine the good news on the
2 mass shootings by now suspect no longer a person of interest Robert Card is
that the number of dead first reported at 22 is now confirmed to be 18 and the
wounded lowered from 30 to 13, both still heinous numbers but the bad news is
that Card, who must be assumed to be armed and dangerous is on the loose with a
massive manhunt being undertaken. President Biden and the Governor of Maine
have responded by ordering flags flown at half-staff and Biden has made another
predictable passionate plea to ban assault rifles and high capacity magazines. Fortunately
he was caught on surveillance camera highly recognizable shooting his rifle and
police have released his photo with a plea for tips as to his whereabouts.
On the Hamas Israel War funding front, Red
Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee have defied Biden’s plan to conflate aid to
Ukraine with aid to Israel by introducing the Israel Supplemental
Appropriations Act to provide $14.3 billion of military aid to Israel,
including $200 million to protect U.S. Embassies.
On the Hamas Israel War
humanitarian crisis front, Gaza residents are in a world of hurt as food, water,
medicine and fuel are almost gone while the IDF released photos of Hamas fuel
tanks that are being withheld from the civilian population to create lighting
and ventilation for the some 190 miles of tunnels that Hamas terrorists seek
safety in and then emerge to launch rockets or seek to enter Israel. Not
enabling Hamas to power up their tunnel system to force them always out in the
open is the military reason why fuel trucks have been barred from entering
Gaza.
On the Hamas Israel
War voting front Michigan Governor Whitmer who attended a pro-Israel rally but
not a pro-Palestinian rally the next day has received warnings that the
Palestinian and Arab community may not be voting for her (Any defection from
the Blues should also be matched by defection by Jews from the Blues due to
that rants of the Squad.
On
the illegal alien invasion front, Texas has finally had enough as bills will
soon be passed to grant Texas authorities the right to arrest and deport
illegals, something that the federal government has refused to do under Biden.
Do not be surprised if the DOJ and groups like the ACLU oblivious to the damage
being done to our cities and towns by the tidal wave of illegal immigration coupled
with the deadly consequences of deadly illegal drugs coming across our borders file
actions to enjoin the Texas’ proposed acts(The poll numbers in New York
indicating the growing concern over illegal aliens and dissatisfaction over its
handling by public officials should result in a real Blue wave even if weakened
by Trump being on the ballot).
On the criminal wrist
tap front, Blue Rep Jamaal Bowman who pulled a fire alarm supposedly to prevent
a vote on a stop gap funding measure to keep the House from voting and was
charged with a misdemeanor which could have resulted in 6 months in jail received
a wrist tap sentence for his guilty plea of a $1000 fine and a requirement to
write a letter of apology to U.S. Capitol Police.
On the Hamas Israel War propaganda
front when I reported yesterday the House voting 422-10 with 6 Blues voting “present”
I could not find party affiliations of those who voted no but suspected Blues. 6
“Squad” members—AOC, Omar, Tlaib, Lee, Bowman and Bush voted no and 2 “Squad”
members—Cesar and Presley voted present. Anyone who is so biased that he or she
cannot condemn the brutal murder of infants and babies has no business to be in
the House of Representatives and should be censured although far better to be
voted out.

Noted Holidays: National BSA/AML Day
was created by Bankers Toolbox in 2018 and is celebrated on this day, the
anniversary of the Patriot Act signed into law on this day in 2001 to confront
money laundering which enables criminal enterprises like cartels to finance
their illegal activities and use the proceeds to engage in legitimate
businesses or purchase properties.
Word of the Day: The word
of the day as we continue with words starting with “b” is “bechic” which
means something that relieves a cough like warm lemon juice with honey or
cough drops.
Song of the
Day: The number 1 song on this day in 1953 was “St. George and
the Dragonet” by Stan Freberg on
a run of 4 weeks to share number 1
status with 8 other songs achieving
number 1 ranking. Here is a recording of
Stan Freberg performing “St. George and the Dragonet”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUdFLyNCeI4 Not a song but a parody on Dragnet.
October 26 Birthdays: “The
Bleach Bit Queen”: Celebrating or bemoaning depending on your political
affiliation the birth on this day in 1947 in Park Ridge, Illinois to graduate
from Yale Law School where she met her husband Bill Clinton to as a young
lawyer for the Senate Subcommittee investigating Richard Nixon where she must
have learned the folly of creating a record of obstruction of justice and then
not destroying it when a crime occurred which served her well during her 2016
run for President of the United States to have her private server subject to
Bleach Bit 30,000 “personal emails” which coupled with her unlikability
probably cost her the election.
October 26 Historical Events in Rhyme
1. On
this day in 1995 on the island of Malta Fathi Shaqaqi the Secretary-General of
the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine/With 6 shots came to the end of the
line/2 Mossad agents landed there with orders to kill/Payback for suicide bombings
adding to the butchers’ bill
2. On this day in 1979
South Korean President Park Chung Hee, after taking over the government in a
military coup in 1961 and elected as President in 1963/To result in economic growth
known as the “Miracle of the Han River/To for South Korea rapid increases in wealth
and the stand of living deliver/but with growing dictatorial powers/Causing
South Koreans from the early morning knock at the door cower/was assassinated
by Kim Jae-gyu, the South Korean CIA head/Another example that fear of oppression
trumps monetarily in life getting ahead.
3. On day in 1958 the Earth became a smaller
place/When Pan Am’s first 707 flight from NYC to Paris signaled the beginning of jet planes to piston
ones replace/In business where time is money and for vacations where time in
the air reduces the vacation days/To travel long distances by flying jets were
the only way.
4.
On this day during the Hungarian Revolution in 1956 in the towns of Mosonmagyaróvár
and Esztergom civilians were killed by the Hungarian secret police/While rebels
held strongholds in Budapest and revolt against Soviet rule was on the
increase/But Molotov Cocktails and few rifles against tanks and the well-armed Soviets
had little chance/As the Soviets would not allow in Eastern Europe democratic
rule to advance/In 12 short days it was over and 250,000 Hungarians to the West
fled/Leaving behind 13,000 Hungarians wounded and some 6,000 dead.
5. On
this day in 1955 after all Allied troops had Left Austria’s lands/And to avoid
military alliances that would escalate military conflicts quickly out of hand/ The
Declaration of Neutrality signed to military alliances to be signed never/A
word in diplomacy that seems absurd but for 68 years to a military ally Austria has
not been tethered.
Elvis Presley’s song “(There’ll
Be) Peace in the Valley (For Me dedicated to the Hungarian Revolution which
was quickly banned by the Soviets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TUFoHrqI0Q
