OMG

"Brutal!  Horrific!  Disgusting!"  These are just a few of the words coming out of the mouths of certain people, as they try to come up with adjectives, adverbs and any other part of speech that could possibly describe their reactions to one P. Diddy beating his then girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.  And these are P. Diddy's friends.  Or they used to be.  They want you to understand how they could never imagine anything like this.  Like never.  Even if they've known him for decades and went to his infamous parties.

Now enquiring minds want to know how this video surfaced?  Who had it?  Who leaked it?  Well one theory is the Feds leaked it and they got a hold of it when they raided P. Diddy, Puffy, Puff Daddy, Diddy, Love, Sean Combs's houses?  That would mean he'd kept a copy of it all these years.  Why would someone do that?  Same reason you have videos and pictures of stuff.  So you can relive it.  This would make him, one, sick bleep.  The other theory is the guy from the hotel who sold it to P. Diddy, Puffy, Puff Daddy, Diddy, Love, Sean Combs, kept a copy of his own.  Either way, it spells doom for P. Diddy, Puffy, Puff Daddy, Diddy, Love, Sean Combs.

Then there was his apology video that went over like a lead balloon.  People are scratching their heads over that one, when they're not trying to come up with adjectives, adverbs and other parts of speech, to convey their amazement of it all.

Then there are the fall from grace crowd.  They can't fathom the nature of the man who had it all.  Well let's just put a little perspective on it.  P. Diddy with his half a dozen akas...  Hey we like that handle 'The Man With A Half A Dozen AKAs'.  Reminds us of 'The Man In The Iron Mask', as he might wind up in Prison for a long, long time.  Only the Three Musketeers aren't around to get him out.  But 'The Man With A Half A Dozen AKAs', is just your garden variety Socio/Psychopath, who happened to make a few bucks in the music business.  He'll be a trivia question on Jeopardy in the next decade and none of the Contestants will get it right.  And, a few years after that, no one will remember his name.  Even if he had a half a dozen of them.

Quiz Time!

Every once in a while we like to run a little quiz just to see if people have been paying attention.  Information, as the Know It All's like to remind us, is essential to a Democracy.

A. She's has no relevant experience.  She was the Congressperson from South Dakota but South Dakota is one of those states that have more Senators than Congresspersons and no one ever needed her vote on anything.  Besides, there's not much to do there or be in charge of, even if you are the Governor.

B. She shot her Dog.

E. All of the above.

Answers

Question 1.  Correct Answer D, Jerry Springer.  Both had long running T.V. shows and both held elective office.  Jerry was once the Mayor of Cincinnati and Trump POTUS.  Jerry's tag line was.  "Take care of yourselves and each other."  Trump's was.  "You're fired!"  If you picked D give yourself 25 points, as you will for every correct answer.  However there have been so many people comparing Trump to Hitler and you've probably heard it so many times, that if you picked A, Hitler, give yourself 5 points.  No, you get no points for Davy Crockett.  Yes he too held elective office but there was no TV back in the early 1800's.  And yes Maury has a TV show with a tag line.  "You are the Father! or You are not the Father!"  But he's never held elective office.  And no Hitler, did not have a TV show, even if he had a tag line.  "Heil Hitler!" 

Question 2. Correct Answer E.  All of the above.  If you missed this question, you just weren't paying attention at all.  When Democracy dies, it is all your fault.

Question 3.  Correct Answer B.  All the Know It All's think it's because she shot her Dog.  Who are we to argue?  But some of the other choices make sense, so if you picked A, C or D, give yourself 10 points.

Question 4. Correct Answer C.  Not only won't his father or brother see him, no one in the entire Royal family even has a room for him.  Harry is going to have to stay in a a hotel.  This was one big Diss and no one knows how to Diss better, than the Brits.  Hell, they invented it.

Scoring.  Normally we tell you what your score means but this quiz was a little tough in that some of the choices were not so clear.  But those of you who got a 100, you are winners!  You know what's going on and when democracy dies, it won't be your fault.

'Blowin' In The Wind'*

We've been watching all these demonstrations all over the many college campuses of America and we have a few questions.  Where do they all get these tents from?  It's just kind of weird how these people show up complete with tents and such.  If you are a Protestor do you have to buy them before they let you join in?  Like it's  part of the costume you have to have, along with the flags, the T-shirts and the placards emblazoned with the  slogans?  Or are these the kind of people who go camping on the weekends?  We mean, when they're not protesting?

And as we pointed out in a previous article, the fighting has commenced, so why are they here?  Why aren't they over there?  If not in Gaza or at least Lebanon?  What if during the Civil War a whole bunch of Confederates pitched tents on college campuses and walked around with signs like 'Stay Out of Our Business', 'We Need Our Slaves' and 'From The Mason Dixon Line To The Rio Grande'?

Why are we the only ones asking these questions?  Isn't that what this whole journalism thingy is all about?  Where are the Talking Heads, The Cognoscenti Of The Known World and the many pretty faces of WWTMSM aka What Was The Main Stream Media?  Why does it seem that all they do is repeat the talking points, the slogans and the catch phrases of the participants in whatever hoopla, they are covering?  The only question they ever seem to ask nowadays, centers around do you hate Trump or Biden?  And or, how much do you hate Trump or Biden?

Maybe it's like that old protest song of years ago told us.  'The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.  The answer, is blowin' in the wind.'*

The Tough Questions

Since we go where the rest of the media fears to tread, we have to ask the tough questions that no one else is asking right now.  Donald John Trump former President of The United States is on trial facing 34 felony counts in New York.  If there's an acquittal or a hung jury, then he can keep running for President.  If he's found guilty, he will probably appeal and the question will be, can he still be released on bond while he waits to hear about his appeal.  If so, he can still run for President.  But with what's gone on with this Judge, we don't think so.

So, tough question number 1.  If he's in jail can he still run for President?  Well since this has never happened before there is no simple yes or no.  It's up to the Republican Party.  Will they still let him run or select another nominee?  Political parties can pick whoever they want, however they want.  Voting in primaries is just a lot of hoopla to get people excited.  Any democrat knows this, especially Bernie Sanders.

So, tough question number 2.  Can he run for President from a jail cell?  Since we live in a world of virtual just about anything and everything, why not campaigning from his jail cell?

But this leads to tough question number 3.  If elected, can he serve as President from his jail cell?  Well The Covid Thing had most anyone with a computer working from home, so again, why not?  Of course they will have to make accommodations for the Secret Service, the Football with all the Nuclear Bomb codes and a whole lot of communications but most Presidents have a Summer White House that they use to get away from the Swamp that is Washington D.C.  LBJ had his ranch in Texas as did W.  And JFK had one in Hyannis Port, so Trump can have his in Ossining, or Greenhaven.  Now Ossining is usually referred to as Sing Sing, so you probably heard of it but both are in upstate New York, a nice place for a Summer White House.

Of course we addressed this issue back in August of 2023 when all the indictments began to pile up and we thought of exile.  But that was only with Trump as a former President, not a current candidate or actual President.  We had him going to the U.A.E., Kuwait or Saudi Arabia.  Some place where a guy with a few billion would be treated like a King or an Emir.  But now, if elected President and a convict, could he be a President in Exile?  He'd be outside the reach of the law, as these countries could just refuse extradition and The President in Exile, could just work from his laptop.  So, why not?

But this leads us to tough question number 4.  Can the President in Exile use a virtual pen or would they have to Fedex the things he has to sign and then everyone has to wait.  And this is the most important question because when a President signs his name, a whole lot of people get paid.  And people get antsy when they have to wait for their money.  They might impeach him.

The Real Reason Is...

A man self immolated himself right outside the courthouse where Donald John Trump former President of The Unites States was about to go on trial.  The Mass Hysteria complete with the Talking Heads and The Cognoscenti Of The Known World will try to tell you that it's either Trump's fault or Biden's.  This they can do with ease, as the guy had a sign that blamed both of them.  It read 

'TRUMP IS WITH BIDEN AND THEY'RE ABOUT TO FACIST COUP US'

He also left a manifesto complaining of a worldwide fascist plot to take over the world.  But we know the real reason.  The rent is too damn high.  Housing Court is right around the corner from the Trump trial.  Maybe we need a sign too.

'THE RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH'

Have you checked the rental listings in Manhattan lately?  Besides all good Fascists Coup Conspiracy Theorists know, the Coup begins with the rent being too damn high.

And speaking of Coups, Woody Allen if you remember him, has made a movie called Coup de Chance which means stroke of luck in French.  The movie is in French and we wonder how Woody did that since he grew up in Brooklyn.  Woody if you remember was the darling of Hollyweird way back when.  His movies won Academy awards and he was considered a cinematic genius.  But that all went down the tubes, when he decided to have an affair and then marry the adopted daughter of his long time girlfriend, Mia Farrow.  Her name in case you forgot is Soon Yi.  He wasn't just old enough to be Soon Yi's father but her grandfather too.

This was followed by accusations, never proven that Woody had sex with another of Mia's adopted daughters, way before she reached the age of consent.  Woody kept making movies but his audience kept shrinking, till no one pays much attention to his movies anymore.  It's been a slow death.  Now this  long term demise could be due to his amorous misadventures or he could just be getting old and losing his touch.  The guy is closing in on 90.  Then again, it could be because he's lived most of his adult life in Manhattan, where as you now know, the rent is too damn high!

And while this is not a Coup, it might as well be.  The House and now the Senate will vote to force the owner of Tik Tok to divest or sell.  Why?  Well it seems that there are all kinds of fake news and hateful stuff on Tik Tok.  How the Congress differentiates between what happens on Tik Tok, from the rest of what goes on in The Fog, we're not sure.  But that's the rationale or so they say.  And we're pretty sure they'll keep saying that.  But we're pretty sure that the clock began ticking for Tik Tok's eventual demise back  on February 16, 2023.  That pun was not intended.  But 2/16/23 was the day Tik Tok moved it's offices into the H&M building on 151 West 42nd Street, New York, N.Y..

Do we have to spell it out for you?  Okay, okay.  That's midtown Manhattan and...

THE RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH!

O.J And Sammy The Bull

O.J. passed away and we got another glimpse of the whole Brouhaha all over again, complete with replays of the slow car chase that seemed to take forever and was the single most watched event in the history of T.V..  Every channel decided to put it on the air, so if your T.V. was on, it was the only thing you could see.  You may have wondered why none of the many black and white L.A. patrol cars trailing behind the infamous white Bronco, didn't just pull him over?  Well they were all on T.V.  Why spoil a good thing?

And news of his death brought about much gnashing of teeth once again, as people recalled the year long trial with the parade of witnesses and the not guilty verdict.  

All of which brings us to Sammy The Bull Gravano.  O.J. if he did it, yes we're co-opting the title of the book that he was going to write in an attempt to cash in on the whole Brouhaha, so if we get any money out of this article above our expenses, will share it with his kids.  No wait, guess we'd have to share it with the Brown/Goldman crew, who managed to win a civil case for wrongful death against him but not collect too much money.  But if O.J. did it, he would have killed 2 people.  Sammy The Bull Gravano killed 19 people.  There never seems to ever, be, too much gnashing of teeth over that and no wrongful death suits brought against him either.  Guess the families of his victims knew it wasn't such a hot idea to try and get any money out of him.  And, one of those families was his own, as one of the guys he whacked, was his brother-in-law.  And, while O.J. has been the subject of much scorn and ignominy, Sammy The Bull, has his own Podcast.  It's called "Our Thing".  Sammy is cashing in.  And while O.J. was looking at Life in Prison if convicted, Sammy got a complete walk.

While the O.J. trial dragged on for a year, Sammy didn't even go to trial.  While O.J. and a lot of his supporters claimed he was innocent, Sammy said no such thing and was never, even, tried.  He admitted it all in a plea deal because the Feds wanted his Boss John Gotti so bad, they let him walk.

So you maybe wondering what is the difference?  Okay, okay 17.  That's for all you wise guys out there.  But we think it's the dead, blond model, Nicole Brown Simpson, pictured above.  And, if you want make someone dead in America, well take your shot, just don't make the blond model, dead.

We're pretty sure if  O.J.'s first wife had been found stabbed to death, a middle aged black woman at the time, the media, the L.A. Police and the L.A. Prosecutors would not have given two bleeps.  Even if O.J. did it.  Oops there we used his title again.  We'll definitely send something, if we get something.  And the Brown/Goldman crew might get more out of us, than they did out of O.J..  But if O.J.'s first wife had been murdered, there might not have been an arrest or even a trial but if there had been, complete with a guilty verdict, you wouldn't have heard, nor seen, much of it.

Earthquakes

For those of you wondering about the earthquake in New York City, we didn't feel a thing.  We're not saying that it's fake news just that we didn't feel a thing and can't find too many people who did.  If you watch the WWTMSM aka as What Was The Main Stream Media, you saw New Yorkers who were interviewed on the street saying things like.  "I thought it was the guys working on the building across the way."  Or "I thought the elevator stalled for a few seconds."  These things were said after the people on the street were told there had been an earthquake.  We're not saying that their first impressions were correct, just that we didn't feel a thing.,

Now there was a guy in Jersey with a camera that was pointed at the New York City Skyline and you could see it all shaking.  That was supposed to be the camera shaking, we think, not the NYC Skyline.  And we're not saying someone would just shake a camera but up in the Bronx one of the Yankees was taking batting practice at the same moment and he didn't miss a swing.

And talk about earthquakes, some think there is a major one brewing out of L.A. Florida and New York as there are supposedly videos of big time Rap artists, Singers, Actors, Celebrities, Politicians and some say even Preachers caught in flagrante delicto by the secret cameras of one P. Diddy.  Of course there are always rumors of these things, black books, client lists, secret videos of famous people having illicit sex and once everyone sees this, it will bring about the shocks of magnitude and aftershocks too.  

But then these things never seem to find the light of day.  Unless you're still waiting to see Jeffrey Epstein's client list  But even if they do and there really are Rap artists, Singers, Actors, Celebrities, Politicians and even Preachers caught in the act.  They will all just fade away into the recesses of The Fog, along with Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose...et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Now wait, there might be someone in this latest imbroglio that you actually like.  If the story breaks on a Monday, you'll feel bad on Monday.  But then you have a job, a family, friends, other things to do and by Tuesday you'll be busy with the real things, in your real life.  Okay, okay maybe it's somebody who's albums and or movies you really liked.  You might feel bad on Tuesday too.  But by Wednesday, you won't feel a thing.

It's not like we'll be losing Cardio Vascular Surgeons or Doctors, Dentists, Therapists of all kinds, Nurses, Medical Assistants, Teachers, Firefighters, EMS, Police Officers or the many other people, who do things of real value.  You know, people we really need.
