I'll be back online on Monday

Deep apologies for any humor inconvenience.

Today a friend came by and offered to do some household repairs for me, so I gladly accepted the offer! She put an all natural insecticide around my house, destroyed leaf cutter ant hills I had been battling and picked cashews from my tree. She also repaired my front gate. Plus a bunch of little stuff I either couldn't reach or couldn't do. Ah, youth, I miss ye.

I love doing home repairs. It's one of my hobbies. But, alas, age limits me.

Listening to all the right wing pundits who think Robert Mueller, Special Counsel, is overreaching in his investigation, I thought, why should Mueller ignore a crime he finds?

Kent Starr, who was investigating Bill Clinton started out investigating a real estate deal and ended up with a blue dress. Well, let's go back and unimpeach Bill Clinton!

OK, I'll get off my preachy bandwagon.

FYI. Here is a photo of a cashew and its fruit --- which by the way is as delicious as it is pretty.

Thank you for stopping by.

Peace.

Why of course Mueller tapped Trump's lawyer's phones. Anyone surprised?

Feds Reportedly Wiretapped Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen’s Phones Weeks Before FBI Raid
Federal investigators wiretapped the phone lines of President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen, NBC News reported on Thursday.
Investigators obtained a court-ordered warrant to wiretap Cohen’s phones “several weeks before” FBI agents raided the lawyer’s home and office in New York and seized documents related to his work for Trump and dealings with porn star Stormy Daniels.


LOL LOL LOL LOL You know Slappy Two Scoops is on tape.


It's true, Trump could shoot a man on Fifth Ave and then then launder Russian mob money and then cheat on his wife and then collude with Russia and then pay hush money and and then steal medical records and lie about all of that and then go golfing and not lose a single supporter. - Jeff Tiedrich

Giuliani's Debut Was Not Helpful To Trump
Rudy Giuliani's cable rollout as a member of President Donald Trump's legal team, and the torrent of statements he made Wednesday night, caught many in the White House off guard and flat-footed, highlighting the continued chaotic nature of the President's communications strategy.

Whatever happens @foxandfriends, please do not stop helping our case week in and week out by having Mr. Trump and Mr. Giuliani appear and make damaging statements. You are truly THE BEST; where can we send the gift basket? - Michael Avenatti, Stormy Daniels' Attorney

Revenge Shall Be Mine?
The View” host Joy Behar thinks Rudy Giuliani purposefully blew up President Donald Trump’s legal defense in a petty revenge plot...“Giuliani loves to be the center of attention,” she added. “When Bill Bratton was on the cover of Time magazine because he cleaned up crime in the city, he was fired very shortly thereafter. That’s Giuliani — I’m giving you a tip, Trump.”

From Ambulance Chaser To Trump's Lawyer
A few years before he started working for Donald Trump, and long before he gave legal advice to people like Fox News personality Sean Hannity, Michael D. Cohen had a different kind of clientele. Cohen roamed the courthouses of New York City, filing lawsuits on behalf of people with little means who were seeking compensation for the injuries they suffered in car collisions. Many personal-injury lawyers make their living this way, but there was something striking about Cohen's cases: Some of the crashes at issue didn't appear to be accidents at all.



No, Trump was NOT first in his class at Wharton. His name isn't listed among any of the summa, magna or even just cum laude graduates at UPenn.

If he'd been first in his class, he'd have been valedictorian.
