Sorry?

We were feeling sorry for Jerome Powell the Chairman of the Federal Reserve because DJT, POTUS 45 & 47 thinks Powell is a "stupid person" and talking to him "is like talking to a chair.  There's nothing there."  And a whole lot of people want Powell to resign.  He is definitely not going to be reinstated when his term is up next spring.  If that wasn't bad enough, he was last seen shuffling along like an old homeless guy that DJT, POTUS 45 & 47 and Senator Tim Scott had picked up along the way, as they reviewed the new Federal Reserve Building.  A building whose construction has gone way overboard.  A building Chairman Powell will never sit in.  And the building's construction is so over budget that a criminal referral was sent to the DOJ about it.  Fed Chairman Powell could have some 'splaining to do. 

Yeah we were feeling sorry for the old guy till we did a little research and found out he's worth 55 million dollars!  Do we feel sorry for him now?  Fugettaaboutitt!

And Ghislaine Maxwell is now talking to Deputy Attorney General of the Department of Justice, Todd Blanche!  Why?  Well she's doing 20 years for sex trafficking underage girls and she wants out of prison.  Most everyone in those places wants the same thing.  So why is this high ranking Deputy Attorney General talking to her?  Well, she can name, names.  She knows who she sent the little girls to go see.  This is something that Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, Pam Bondi and the rest of the FBI and DOJ haven't got a clue about.  She was always happy to tell the DOJ, it's just that no one ever asked before.

Do we feel sorry for Ghislaine Maxwell?  Not hardly.

And poor Dan Bongino.  In the course of his investigations he has uncovered such a shocking truth that it has "shocked him down to his core" and "he will never be the same."  Most of the country believes that the government played some role in the assassination of President Kennedy, so it has to be bigger than that.  We have our money on LBJ by the way.  And since Dan Bongino is the Deputy Director of the FBI now, he probably knows who was shooting from the Grassy Knoll.  So what could these scandals ever be?

BTW we all thought Bongino was a tough guy.  Tough guys can handle anything.  They don't get shaken to their core.  We're not sure what is going to be more shocking to us, getting the details on these scandals or us realizing that Dan Bongino, is a wuss.

Do we feel sorry for Dan Bongino?  Well, maybe a little.

CBS has cancelled the Colbert Show!  There are all kinds of conspiracy theories surrounding this and there is much gnashing of teeth in certain quarters.  But CBS says The Colbert Show is losing 40 million dollars a year!  OMG!  And that is why they are cancelling the show.  

And people in certain quarters, who are gnashing their teeth, are bemoaning this cancellation as it just might be a harbinger of things to come for the other late night talk shows.  The old slippery slop thing.  With good reason too, as Colbert ironically, is the highest rated of the broadcast, late night, talk shows.  So you can imagine how much the other shows are losing.  Imagine that!  Corporations not wanting to lose 40 million a year?  "Oh, the humanity!"*

We have a sneaky suspicion that the names of the Late Night TV show hosts will be a category on Jeopardy a decade from now and none of the contestants will get anything in that category right.  Nobody will remember or care.

And they are picking on Harry and Meghan again.  No, not 'South Park'.  Now it's 'Family Guy', another animated series.  Why?  Meghan and Harry are not doing anything.  And, we sort of get the Royal Family back in Great Britain.  They represent the country, the culture.  They serve a purpose.  But Meghan and Harry?  What do they do?  They are sort of like the lilies of the field.  "They toil not, neither do they spin"**.  Well maybe not quite the lilies of the field but you get the picture.  They're not doing much.

Seth MacFarlane is the guy who runs 'Family Guy' and we sort of get it, as Harry and Meghan were almost somebody, but now?

And Hunter Biden went on a F bomb fueled rant on X, where he bemoaned the illegal immigrants being deported to El Salvador.  He says if he's elected President, he'll demand they are all are brought back.  We didn't know he was running.  Maybe that should have been the headline instead of all the F bombs.  But if El Salvador refuses to send back the illegal immigrants, he'll invade El Salvador to get them back.  That's when he's President of course.

But maybe what he's really upset about is no one buys his paintings anymore.  And with his father's pardon in hand, no one even investigates him anymore.  No one even talks about his Laptop anymore.  He's a nobody.

Just Funny That Way

Is it only us?  Or do you notice how certain famous people who have been getting away it for a long time and get busted, also get linked to the C.I.A. or some other intelligence organization?  Not all of the them of course, but certainly Jeffrey Epstein, who was not only C.I.A. operative but he also worked for MOSSAD, supposedly.  Then there was the The Diddy who worked for the F.B.I., supposedly.  We were just wondering why is that?  Not that it's even true or not, just why?  Like no one ever linked the C.I.A., the F.B.I. or MOSSAD to Harvey Weinstein.  Or Bill Cosby.  We guess, life is just funny that way.

And Alan Dershowitz famed Harvard Law Professor knows who is on the CLIENT LIST!  He has seen it.  Why?  Well he was accused by Virginia (committed suicide) Giuffre, of being one of the CLIENTS!  She later recanted her accusation saying she mixed him up with someone else.  How you mix that guy's face up with someone else's, we don't know.  That's him pictured above.  Then again she might not have seen the guy's face.  Maybe it was dark and the guy said.  "I'm Alan Dershowitz, famed Harvard Law Professor."  The guy just wanted to impress her.  But either way, she recanted.  But of course while being accused, Dershowitz demanded and got to see all the information on the case.  It's called DISCOVERY.   So he's seen it.  Will you see it?  Of course not!  Why?  "Attorney client privilege" says Alan (I don't want to commit suicide) Dershowitz.

Just a little note here, as people like to throw around and hide behind PRIVILEGE.  Understand that it's not a law.  It's a privilege held by a Priest, Doctor, Lawyer and Spouse.  They can refuse to disclose or testify but they don't have to refuse.  They can both talk and testify, if they so desire.  Like we said, it's not a law.  So Alan Dershowitz famed Harvard Law Professor can, if he wants to, tell you who was on the Jeffrey (committed suicide) Epstein List.  Will he?  We say, no way.  Why?  Because life is just funny that way.

And John Brennan former head of the C.I.A. and J. Edgar Comey former head of the F.B.I. are under criminal investigation!  OMG!!  We thought of listing all the political figures who have been under criminal investigation but then we realized we don't have enough staff, enough time or enough space here.  But we feel confident in laying odds.  So it's 10 to 1 against indictment.  10 to 1 against a trial or a conviction.  And we'd put it at 1,000 to 1 against either of them doing any jail time but we don't want to take anyone's dollar.*

So why do they do this?  Waste time and energy investigating, when even if they get a conviction the subject never does a minute in jail?  Well by now you know, life is just funny that way.

The Client List

An FBI memo concludes that there is no Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell Client List!  Ghislaine might be wondering why she's in jail.  Jeffrey had no comment.

In simpler times, before computers and cell phones, a high class Brothel would be raided, the Madame in custody and supposedly out there somewhere, was the BLACK BOOK.  The BLACK BOOK was this item that contained the names of the Clients.  Since this was a high priced Brothel, the Clients were the rich, the famous, the influential, the movers and the shakers along with the predilections of their sexual preferences.  Now the predilections were in the BLACK BOOK because the Madame wanted to take good care of her rich clients and needed to remember what they liked.  

Promises of the release of this nefarious tome would flood the newspapers and magazines.  Alas much to the chagrin of those who waited patiently for the release of the BLACK BOOK, it just never happened.  This thing never got produced and the public never got to learn what was in it.

Maybe the thing was a total fiction or maybe having someone's name and phone number in a book is not evidence of a crime.  Even if it had some indications of what that person liked to do, when satiating their libido.  Remember the crime is exchanging money for sex, not having someone's name in a book.  The only well known Client we can ever remember getting busted, was one Charlie Sheen.  Yeah the guy with the tiger blood, who could consume Cocaine 8 Balls and Escorts like they were gummy bears.  But Charlie wasn't busted because his name was in the BLACK BOOK.  He was busted because he paid with a check.  Maybe he had one 8 Ball too many and forgot the oldest adage, when engaging in the oldest profession.  Only use cash.

But jump ahead to today and hardly anything gets written down on paper.  We use electronics for almost everything and in place of the BLACK BOOK is the CLIENT LIST.  And once again just having someone's name and phone number on an electronic device, is not evidence of a crime.  Even if it says something like Bill Clinton 202-###-#### and have cigars on hand.

What the FBI memo is really saying is.  We convicted Jeffrey Epstein and never mentioned a Client.  We arrested him again for the same thing and would have convicted him again, without mentioning a Client.  We arrested, tried and convicted Ghislaine Maxwell without ever mentioning a Client.  What makes you think we will tell you now?
