THESE POOR WOMEN ....

 I feel so bad for these women ... at first I was all "well why would you continue to work for them if they did that to you?" - and it's a legitimate question.

BUT - today, Lonna in CA came our and gave a very legit story ... account of her experience.

Do I think Swalwell - current Senator for CA, was the leading candidate for CA governor (he dropped out this last weekend) - well, he has 5-6 woman claiming he did it ... some worse than otherers ... Lonna was terrible, hers is the only one I have heard thus far.

But as easy as it is to go "lynch him" or worse ... I think I should take a breath.

Did he do this?

In the court of Law, he still has his day coming.
In his married life - I hope she divorces him
In his political life - I'm going to guess that, like Franken, he's done.

And, yes, I guess I do believe these women ... unlike those accusing Bill Cosby, or Donald Trump - they didn't wait for decades to come forward. ALTHOUGH - it makes you wonder why they did wait so long ... I've heard NDAs might be an issue - that he had those working on his campaigns sign them, and told these ladies that the acts were covered by the NDA ...

which is does NOT, btw.

Just remember that ... no NDA, nor Waiver ... will EVER exclude acts against the law .... a Felony ...

I think that's about all I have to say for now ... this will be interesting to watch, but I feel for these gals.

And as horrid as it is to say - I am glad it's a democrat this time ... It's kind of like "now the shoe is on the other foot" time.

And, yeah, I know .... there's a case in TX where a senator had an "affair" with a woman (that's what he said) and the gal later committed suicide .... this will be another one to keep a close eye on.

His marriage? I'm guessing that's completely over.  His career in politics? God I hope it's over ... and while I don't know his political party, being since he is from TX, I'm going to guess he's a republican.

MAN ON THE RUN! uu

So, here's a story from yesterday's news .... I almost missed it, I wasn't going to watch the news after 20/20 (ABC) but changed my mind ... and I saw a story about a man who has fled the state, even though the court was warned about his flight potential.

His name? I'll take a stab at it but I will probable spell it wrong ... Saib Sheik Shieb, maybe? (UPDATE: turns out his name is Abi Shieb sied

He is a a native of kenya - he has a wife and child there ... the court has been told ... so the judge? what did he do?

He gave TWO bonding options:

1)$50,000 with the surrender of his passport
or
2)$150,000 unconditional ...the prosecutor wanted tis amount to be $1 Million ... well, he was being convicted of being part of a $1Million+ fraud scheme ... he to the unconditional bond ...

and did not show up for his hearing!

They don't have records of him having gone on any flights out of MSP international airport, but it's only 8 hrs to Chicago's international airport - and since he likely wasn't on any "Do Not Fly" lists yet, it is likely he went back to Kenya.

And if he didn't ... well .... let's hope he is still drawing breath someplace.

But - as it turns ut ... this two bonding options are required in the state of Minnesota ...EXCEPT OF CASES OF "SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE" SUCH AS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

bOND HAS BEEN SURRENEDERED AND a nation-wide warrant has been issued for his arrest ... problem is, how many OTHER people are out thee doing the same thing?

-------------

UPDATE:

they do know he fled the country, BUT they do NOT know which country he went to .... hmmm, I'm going to guess either Kenya or the UK (they are having an immigrant crisis of their own)

TRY NOT TO LAUGH ... OR THE VOICES WILL COME

NOT MINE BUT FUNNY AS HECK

CHICAGO DOPES

Okay - now as you may have figured out by now, I am no fan of the school systems these days ... mostly because the teachers - who earn a lot more than you realize are always complaining about how little they get paid.

AND I do not like, nor do I usually agree with Bill Maurer - I think he's a stone butt hole actually, maybe I'd like him in-person but I doubt it.  He says he's a "Libretarian" but seems to really be a Democrat in what I grew up knowing as a Communist ... even though they like to call themselves as "Socialist"

Listen to most of what he says.

BUT - this time I think he gets pretty close to hitting the proverbial nail on the head ...

I agree - just like ANY JOB, teachers need to EARN their raises .... you can search my past posts to find out about my oldest daughter and her story ... I'm actually very proud of her - but the teachers assigned to her had very little to do with it.

Let's just say - do NOT wish for services/programs of an old school district to follow you. As the gals sitting behind me at our son's 8th grade graduation soon learned about.  I didn't hold back - I told them the whole "Oh I so wish we were like St. Paul schools" got a very pointed retort of "you don't know what you are talking about!" from me ... and then got the whole story, while my husband pretended not to know me ... lol.

SOUNDS LIKE MN .... BUT IT'S NEW YORK ... CITY!!!!

I was told by my parents that there is "never a tax a Democrat didn't like" ... and boy has she been right ... but Mayor Mondahmi would have had her shaking her head in disbelief.

So, first, let's all remember he is a Socialist who ran under the Democratic label. We must keep this in mind .... 

He has proposed an INCREASE in the Death Tax, on the municiple side of things.

As it stands now, the worth of what you have left behind must equal $7 Million or more ... that is likely a lot of property, at least a couple homes, but if you own a business, it likely includes that as well .... I'm not sure how the law is written.

He wants to change that amount to $750 THOUSAND!  This would be much easier to reach - and will harm the middle-class folk more.

If you've got $7 Million you know it - but if you were middle-class, and that varies from state to state as to exactly what that level is, you likely have no idea what your home is worth ... you don[t think of having it evaluated except for property taxes. 

Well, when you die, they come out and estimate what you could get for the property -- in our case, our taxes are based on a much bigger home in a whole different city - why? because in our city, we have a small house.

Now - the house we used to own, we bought for like $60K ... my son was looking to buy a house and went to look at it ... it was gutted (broken pipes by the sounds of it) and they were still asking $400K for it!!

Now - say your parents own a home, they bought it back in the 1980's at some point ... people don't usually share with others what the tax value is of their home ... but they will say they paid $100K for it back then ...

They pass, and it turs out that the property value of the home is said to be about $600K ... very likely, actually.  BUT - now the city says "naw, I bet you could easily get $800K for it" - but since there was never an evaluation on the property, you are screwed.

So, now there is an INCREASE of 90% of estates into the coffers of the city ... just based on stats, no values of property ... just an decrease of 90% of the worth of the property needed to get taxed.

Your rate of taxation??

It will go from 15% now, to 50% if Mondahni gets his wish.

Let's hope he gets snapped back into his place!!

DON'T FORGET TUESDAY!

eRIN gO bRAUGH! (but what do I know, I'm Polish ... lol

IF YOUR GONNA QUOTE - GET IT RIGHT!!

I have real issues with ABC news - I used to think it was just one particular news person, who used to work for a former administration, that I had issues with - I openly admit it, I wouldn't trust him if he said that water was wet!

But, I just got around to watching yesterday's This week with .... (ABC) and I think I just have issues with news people who can't get their quotes straight.

Martha Radits (I have not idea how to spell her name, for a second I thought she was Diane Sawyer)  substituted on the show this weekend, and was speaking to Patrick Henry (Fmr. Congressman from NC) about the War with Iran ... not "in" Iran, they used the word "with" interesting choice, I thought ... but anyways ...

She "quoted" President Trump, but she got it WRONG, so wrong - it totally CHANGED the meaning of what he said.

According to her Trump said "I'm not going to get you into any wars"

No - what his said was like, "I don't believe in long-term wars" ... LONG TERM ... like when we went into Iran and wound up staying for, what, 20 years? Something like that.

This is aking to what the BBC did with Trump's speech on Jan. 6th -- you can NOT simply change things to what you want because it suits your narrative better, or because it will direct the person you're interviewing to get the answer you want.

Journalism - and despite what anyone thinks, this is not an opinion type show - knows the rules on quotes as one of the PRIMARY rules ... you can use as many quotes as you'd like, but you've got to get it right - you've got to be clear - a quote is what they said, exactly as they said it, no more, no less.

So - take your foot out of his mouth and put out a statement CORRECTING yourself .... before you all get a close up look at his Florsheim's as he prepares to kick your .... I'm not got to finish that thought.

WAITING FOR THE BLIZZARD ... AND CRACKING UP!

Again, NOT mine .... I just found this ... and listen to what the AI has Senator Kennedy saying .... LLL

FACTS OF LIFE: THE RULE OF TWO

I found this on YouTube - where I find all the videos I post here ... this is NOT my video/tictok, whatever it is ... it came in on my "shorts" section.

Just remember - there are ONLY 2 things to worry about ... ever.

THINKING OUT LOUD: NANCY GUTHERIE KIDNAPPING

So, I have been doing some further reading on the case ... okay, it popped up on my news feed today ... but I was reading it when something it said jumped out at me.  Now I'm rethinking things.

So - they were talking about a neighbor who says that just "days before" she had seen a "stranger" near Nancy's house. Chuckle alert.

She said she has a picture window IN her ... I had to reread this a few times, I couldn't believe it ... in her BATHROOM ... I kept thinking I misread that, bedroom I can see - I have one ... but no ... she has it in her toilet!

Apparently she spends a LOT of time in the bathroom because she said she sees EVERYONE who goes for a walk past her house ... wow.

Here's my new thoughts:

    In the article, they republished the "new" timeline which included the guy who took Nancy's camera.  Um ... they said the person was 5foot 9inches, or there abouts.  You know who's also 65foot 9inches?? Savannah Gutherie!

Now I'm wondering ... how tall is her sister Anne? 

At first I thought, Savannah and the brother-in-law but ... she has proof of taking a plane Sunday after getting the phone call ... but what about the day before?

Hmmm.

Actually - I'm actually thinking now.  Nancy got a ride home from Anne's husband - and they found Nancy's blood outside her door.  

What are the chances it went this way?

Anne and her husband wanted some money ... Nancy is retired, she's not likely to actually have much money - just her house, pretty much.  When she tells them no, they take her home, but the talk continues... or it could even be a case of they want her to sell her home and move into their home.

Who knows - not all that important.  She stands up for herself, says no and things continue on from there.

She - it appears - never shows up on any of her cameras, interesting that ... ooh, new thought but that can wait ... back to this one.

Nancy doesn't survive ... she's gone, nothing they can do about it.

But, there's still Savannah - they've got to do something to get money from Savannah ... she's got money ... Oh geez - yet another thought.

You know what .... Im just gonna stop here and think this through some more.

All are very interesting, but they can't all be true ... can they?

UPDATE: NANCY GUTHERIE KIDNAPPING, NEW FINDING, MAYBE

Okay, I just read about new evidence which was supposed to have been found in AZ, although, other than this article on Bing search/News page I have not heard or seen anywhere else! ... 

It sounds like the local police department has found a heavy, white barrel ... they haven't said anything yet, and it sounds like it may have been found about 1 week ago.

They also posted a post from the Fox News streaming X website where someone else is thinking like myself .... but I do not have any actual proof, I am just speculating .... I'm just spitting in the wind.

They said the prime suspect, right now at least, is the son-in-law of Nancy Gutherie ...

I'm wondering what th.

Reme "proof" is that they are basing it on .... I feel it's him because we have seen her daughters (Savannah from the Today show (NBC) and Anne, I think) and her son (haven't heard his name) ... but we have never seen Anne's husband ... hmmm

Remember - the story is that after the Saturday night supper, HE drove her home ... but I haven't heard anything else about that night.  So, if she needed a ride home, how did she get there to begin with?

I just find this all very interesting.

But - this part is all old news ... the barrel is the new part.

They say the barrel was found a short way to the east of Nany's house.

I HATE MY KEYBOARDS

hmmm - it seems my keyboard has decided to start working again .... I fell asleep yesterday, it didn't work - my hubby asked me during the night (I had woken up woken up around 1am, he got up around 3am) and he said he had another one upstairs - interesting, I could have sworn he had said that this was the LAST one he had ....

I fell asleep, again ... and my computer shut off during that time .... now - my keyboard works.

Hubby swears he did not switch it .... he didn't touch it ... he says.

hmmmm .... and as exciting as this is -- I really hate not knowing what the deal is!
