GET IT STRAIGHT PLEASE ...

This morning I turnd into Good Morning America (ABC) and got an update on the shooting of a man in Madison, WI ....

You'll notice that I did not mention his age ... or his race ... they are at this point insignificant ... until we know more, they are not necessary to mention ....

Now if only ABC news had receieved the memo!

First thing out of the reporters mouth was the race of the dead man - however all he said about the officers involved were their JOBS .... apparently, cops don't have a race these days ....

I'm sorry, but if the ethnicity of one is important, then the ethnicity of ALL should be equally important.

But ... that must just be me, I guess.

Any how -- as it turns out Madison police, for some rason, do not wear body cameras ... wait - how did this happen?  I thought all police were supposed to wear them??

I'm going to guess that it's an EXPENSE thing - and the city can't afford it .... even though Madison is a huge college town, it's got students from all over ... you'd think they'd have opted into the program but I guess not.

Story is....

Over the weekend, the police were called because a man was trying to open car doors without any keys .... and the police found him, tried to stop him, but supposeably he FLED ON A BICYCLE .... and they LOST HIM for about 1/2 hour.

Well, bikes are kind of slippery - they get to places police cars can't ... like stairs, skinny alleys, etc. etc.

well, they found him again 1/2 hr later and attempted to arrest the guy ... only this time (at least according to ABC News) he had a "fixed blade" weapon.

To me, we're looking at either a kitchen knife, or an ax, whatver - just not a pocket knife ....

And they tazed him - that's a lot of eletricity going through his body ... but the tazer didn't work!!!

Okay - now I'm thinkiiing, the guy has to be on something - it's pretty hot out, so I doubt he's got a down jacket on - THEN A VIDEO BEGINS ....

Yup, it took that long for a video to start ...

A small (4-6 officers) group of officers try to take him down .... the reporter said he was "on the ground on his side" - I didn't see that, I saw him sitting on his butt, on the ground, one arm in the air ... and then you can hear 3 shots ring out.

Last night, the Madison police  tried to give a news conference about what happened, when a man took over he mic/conference and wouldn't allow them to speak.

Ok -- I can see the guy being upset, but why not WAIT for them to say something before you take over?

Guys - If we don't get this under control, people like Manson, Hitler, and Stalin are going to win ...

Everyone - step back ....

Everyone - take a breath

Everyone - just LISTEN to the police first.

But most importantly ....

Everyone - look BEYOND the color of somone's skin ... right now, all we can say is that even if this guy had been white, the tragedy would still be the same.

HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ....HONESTLY

 Okay, so they say there has been 3-4 US service personale killed overseas - 3 in Jordan ( they found bits of one amongst the rubble) and the other up north tryng to defuse an Iranian drone.

Very sad.  Very sad. God Bless them and the Peace to their famililies. 

But you know what? THERE'S GOING TO BR MORE!

It's a WAR, not a bank robbery, for Christ's Sake!

Get off your high horses -- this is not a "quagmire" as I've heard some democrats say this weekend .... we've been there a whole 6 months and most of that's been in negotiations hh.... everyone take a breathe.  everyone calm down ... and everyone just think this through ....

We, well the government, has finally figured out that no matter what Peace Treaty they have with the PM of Iran, chances are very great that they will ignore the Treaty anyways .... because no one is taking anyone in the center of the country seriously.

The Iranians are even going to far as to bomb their firends in order to get them to fight .... what the Hey????

And if you don't recognize it ..... these are Gestapo Tactics ... This was how they had their own people working for them - and this is why we can never let it happen again.

You thought Oct. 7th was horid - now imagine it EVERYDAY ... they force young men to join their army, they force them to believe in Alla (no other name, just that one), they forc so much on the people, that they are AFRAID to speak against them ....

If they do, they get shot in the streets.  They watch their families starve, they watch their sisters, women, children get tortured and killed - not that they are worth all that much over there.  All a femaile is worth is the Sons she can have, and the food she can cook.

But - even with all this going on .... STILL we are voting for the DSA over here ... the Socialist wing of the Democratic party.

They aren't looking at the Big Picture - they have Tunnel Vision - they only see what they want to see and ignore all the rest.

So with a TOTAL death count at 16 right now (although there may be more which I haven't heard of yet) they will be SCREAMING for us to get out.

Only thing is - this is NOT the time to do that.

They are hiding something and we need to find out what it is?

And I'm pretty sure its linked to the Nuke program or the Oil shipments .... or their links to both russia and china ...

We can NOT pull out now .... we SHOULDN'T pull out now. 

EXCUSE MED? WHAT WAS THAT?

First, let me tell you - I have just gotten on a bp med - and my eyes are pretty screwed up today, so tis is basically being typed by touch ....

So - if I goof up, please forgive me .... but on the bright side, my bp is down into the 150s so .... cool, right?

As some of you may know, I love history .... and I love watching documentaries .... such as American Experience on PBS .... well, I've been watching the one they have on JFK ....

They labeled it as the 50th anniversar of his assassination, but its really part 2 of the regular JFK one they have.

But the ting that struvk me ... the reason for this post actually .... is that JFK and Trump have a log in common ....

both were rich

both loved the ladies, and their wives put up with it.

and - and this part shocked me - JFK was a ORANGE MAN TOO!!!

When JFK is getting off the plane in TX, a reporter made a remark of "I can see his tan from here!"

Yeah - youYyou know haw badly Trup would have been grilled over something like this???

I hae a feeling I goofed up that bit completely - I don't think I untypd things correctly .... hmm

Oh wll - that's all I wanted to say.

Just remember - JFK and DJT are quite similar.

SAVING MONEY AT WALMART FOR SENSIORS .... whether you feel like one or not

 sigh - yeah, this is me .... my dr. wants to put me on high bp meds, but I'd rather not, thank you .... hubby's been on them for about 10 years, but I don't feel that old yet ... until I try to climb stairs and my knees start to kill me.

So, I'm kicking it around for a bit .... 

meanshile - I came across this article on saving money at Walmart.

It's too hot for me to read right now (it's in the 90s at the lake this week - YUK) so I don't want to lose it, so this is where I tend to link things.

So here's the link if you like to go check it out for yourself

HEADS UP COSTCO MEMBERS!!!!

 I am not a member - I like Sam's Club better, myself - but my oldest daugter and son are both members .... so I thought I pass this onto you ....

ITEMS ARE BEING DISCONTINUED .... and we are not talking about summer items, we are tlking bout FOOD items.

Found this video on YouTube, so I thought I'd share .... and keep it handy to show my kids next time they come up ... GRAB THEM NOW - you never know when they won't be there!

ELECTION 2026: MIDTERMS, MAINE

 Well, look at this - another woman has come out claiming sexual indiscression ... aka RAPE ... and this one isn't being dismissed this time.

After the last one, who said that Platner was out of control (shook her by the shoulders so hard he left marks, pulling her out of a cab by twisting her wrist, hitting her, etc.) she was dismissed as being "political" not because she lied, or was unbelievable, nor because she hadn't reported it - but because she was A CONSERVATIVE!! that's it.

So, apparently, to the Democrats - it's okay to mistreat people who have different political opinions than you ... but this new one?

Well, it turns out she's a LIBERAL and is being taken seriously.

WHAT?!?! 

Why is she more credible than the first gal? Just because of her political affiliation?

God, I hope not!

I heard some of what she had said to a reporter - and I have to say, it sounded very "lawyer"ish ... that is it was phrased in legalize.

Well - any way it happened ... the Democrats have started jumping ship!

The last one? well, who else, Sen. Berni Sanders - everyone else jumped first and apparently Bernie wanted to make sure the water temp was just right ... but about midday 9July2026, Bernie let Platner knnow he wasn't supporting him anymore and put a statement out for the press as well.

Interestingly, it sounds like Mayor Mondahni flew the coop first.

Platner's response?

He says the reporting is WRONG, and that they will have to decide what to do.

I hope his current wife opens her eyes and starts spilling the beans.

ALERT ALERT: NEW SCAMS TO WATCH OUT FOR

 OMG - so I have a link for you .... first, you need to "subscribe" to this guy - he's very knowledgable about everything going on out in the "Interweb" and such .... 

In today's video - he shared how BANKS are denying help to people who have been scammed - because according to the bank, even though your mom is 78 yrs old and senile, she gave permission for the scammer to enter the account .... sigh .... and the scammers KNOW THIS.

And after that bit of news, there's one which really ticks me off .... it's a scam involving Social Security Benefits ... yes ... this one is a new one - and they are USING THE US MAIL to do it.

Yep, so if they get caught they will be facing a whole host of FEDERAL crimes .... 

So here's the video ... remember, this is NOT my video, I only link to it for your info!!!

FOLLOW UP - UFC PLOT

 OK - here's some moe info .... info on 5 suspects have been released so far ... with an id of the Leader of the group.

Tycen Proper, from OH - age 19, I've been spelling his name wrong
Bryan Omar Roa, from CA - I accidentally misspelled his name too
Michael Alan Thomas, from CA - his name I had correct!
Daniel Eskridge, from KS (I think)... no other info
Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez - the Leader, nickname "Shepard", from NE. Came to USA on Visitor Visa (B2?), it expired Dec 2001 ... granted DACA status in 2014 by Obama Adm. 

Law enforcement believes these men caused the biggest threat, and are already behind bars - none of them got to DC.

Wholly Crap!!!

So, nevermine the coincidence of this guy being here in 2001 - the same year as the Twin Towers ... he got DACA status - which was supposed to go to KIDS who were brought here by their families while they were under the age of 16 yrs.

WOW - the kid came on a VISA ... a Visitor Visa, which means you're just coming to see the sights, then you're going back home - kind of like kids on Spring Break .... but this guy stayed and then ends up PLOTTING AGAINST the US government!

I am trying my best to be kind here - I don't know what this guy went through ... but it can't be all that bad.

I'm just saying ...

ELECION 2026 - PRIMARY SEASON .... kind of ...

Okay - I am a bit behind on this one, but I've been having some issues (like not being able to get decent sleep) but here is the latest news from Special Report (FNC), and, yes, I understand the kirony of the name of the program .... and on my posting it here.

So, there were quite a few Primaries - where those representing the MAJORITY of a party are elected to go onto the ticket (with the exception of CA, where they just continue the count until they get the two candidates they wanted in the first place).

The most interesting vote in my mind this week (Tues. June 16th) was the primary for Mayor of DC, but why?

It is not even a state - its a place, a conglomeration amounts several states, which does not have any representation in the federal tax code ... that was the point ... it was meant to be autonomous, so that no one state could hold "extra" power over the government.

But - since the late 60's/early 70's, I can remember my mother saying/claiming that the Democratic party (as well as worker's unions) were being taken over by Communitsts ... well she was completely wrong .... it is being taken over by Socialists.

In Seattle & NYC, they have unapologetically elected Mayors who openly admit their alignment with the Democratic-Socialist Party (aka Socialists) and now DC has put up a Democratic-Socialist as well ... by the looks of it.

Current Coucil-member, Janese Lewis George (I don't think it's hyphenated) has taken the Democratic nomination for the fall election ... she is an open, FAR LEFT leaning politician with a variety of ideas ... in DC, like MPLS, they use a "Rank Choice" voting system - you vote 1-2-3 for who you like, they then count the votes, if no one wines the "majority" (here defined by 50%+ of voters) then a certain number of votes get tossed out, and the number 2 votes get counted - I don't believe the first count is recounted, I think those stand - and then if there still  isn't a 50%+ majority, they count the 3rd choices, and the first two votes still stand.

Now, if you didn't vote I hate rank choice - it's the easiest to cheat with ... there is nothing which says recounting the ballots 3 times (the norm for most places) will result in 3 identical totals ... in fact, it usually doesn't.

But, so far, as of Wednesday night at least, she have a double digit lead over her nearest opponent.

So ... DC, Dem-Soc (but they aren't finished counting yet)

Let's go to other ballots ...

GA- Republican ballots:
    Senate
        D- Ossoff, incumbant
        R- Collins, Tump's choice
    Governor
        D - Bottoms, former Atlanta Mayor
        R - Jackson, beat out Jones (Trump's choice)

So we will have to see what happens here.

CA? Well, it sounds like they are STILL COUNTING ... now I know what people I know in CA say their votes don't count anyways. Geez.

Los Angeles Mayor race was counted just long enough to push Pratt (I think that's his name) out of the race, but, dang he had a great showing!

For state Governor - where only the top 2 vote getters move on (thus the reason they seem to always have Dem Govs) - will actually be a Rep against a Dem!!

I don't remember who won, but I know this will be a very rare time for CA

FOLLOW UP: UFC ALLEGED ATTACK

 Ok - so I just started watching OutNumbered (FNC) .... I'm just a little behind but not by very much - I'm actually doing better.

And they had a bunch of info of the case I thought was worth sharing.

Number of people attending the event: 4000+
Number of people at "Watch Party" outside of event: 10,000+

From the case file (at least that's what they say):

"... the co-conspirators discussed using drones to drop explosives on the north side of the White House to create panic,  and funnel event attendees toward locations where the co-conspirators would have  snipers prepared to kill certain high value targets ... the co-conspirators' murder plot appears to have been motivated by their anti-government ideology."

United States District Court

Central District of California

And while the actual motive is still being investigated .... apparently, on of they suspects said they had planned to target capitalist elites, billionaires, or politicans who received donations from the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee ...

wow - so EVERYONE, basically, in DC!

So this was plot number 5 or 6 - that we KNOW of - on President Trump's life???

What the H is going on???
Mama's don't let you babies grow up to be .... assassins, I guess.

I am not going to touch the 2nd Amendment at this time .... it just doesn't feel like the time for it.

According to a clip of Vice-President JD Vance, he claimed there were actually 23 people involved in this plot. 

Now, on Good Morning America (ABC) - which was the first place I heard about this - there were only 3 people mentioned, but 4 states mentioned.

Ohio (the place which called the cops)
Missouri
Nebraska
California (and it seems this is the state where the other 2 came from)

The question is: 
Who is paying for all this???  They have to have some really deep pockets whoever they are.  They not only would have to pay for the drones, but likely for the ammo and rifles as well.  Definately for the intel needed to work it all out.

Nor is it likely to have been a recent plan, it would have been quite some time - unless some AI had been involved at some level as has happened in some recent incidents, but those issues were supposed to have been figured out already and corrected/removed from the system.

So I guess there's an issue of a possiblitly of a 501(C3) or 501(c4) having been used. yikes.  I know that a c3 is generally used for churches and other  non-profits, but I'm not exactly sure what a c4 covers ...

The "leader" was supposed to have begun to get frustrated because some people started to drop out ... but what he did say was that he placed some of the corruption of government on the Jewish people, and blames them and Israel for the current war with Iran.

Yeah - I'm guessing that's a bunch of horse hockey!

The guy from Ohio, was only 19 years old! He had used $3,000 to buy his guns and ammo, plus magazines .... wow - I can see why his Mom was so upset ... that money is supposed to help you get into college, or a trade school - not pay for a bunch of falbercarb!

I'm thinking the "leader" is likely the 31 yr old from California - I had his name and accidentally deleted it .... bummer ... 

the other person from California, is in his mid-20s to late 20's (I don't remember which) 

Everyone is assuming these guys are liberals, that they lean to tje Left because they are from California - but there is a part of the state which is more Right leaning, although usually towards the north of the state.

I'm thinking the list of reasons why is a bunch of bull whistle and it all comes down to just wanting to make a name for themselves ... get themselves in the history books.  And I hope that CA, for once, will keep these guys IN JAIL for the rest of their born days!

But .... we now, wait and see what happens.

I'm going to guess there will be a lot more updates coming.

FLAG DAY .... aka Saturday 2026 JUNE 14th.

 The only thing is it is likely you never even knew about it ... instead, EVERY channel who has a news broadcast, simply referred to it as President Trump's 80th Birthday.

Yeah - it didn't matter .... how many times did you hear anything about Flag Day??

Well, as it turns out - this is kind of important - because, while stations were complaining about the UFC fight at the White House .... how Trump was trying to "progit" from the event .... how it was blah, blah, blah ---- it HID a horrid truth.

As it turns out, this morning (Tuesday June 16th) there was a news story - which made everyone sit back and go what??

It turned out, that at least 3 men (19, 25, 3` yres old) were ARRESTED for planning to ATTACK THE EVENT at the White House!!

It turns out, they had a plan to fly drones loaded with explosives into areas near the area - like other buildings - which was supposed to panic the crowd.
And when the crowd ran, they would have been dirested, as much as possible, down a particulr pathway ...where they were to be gunned down by a group of people.

Oh My God!!

This would have been aweful!!

The men arrested (I've only heard of men so far) were from OH, MO, NE, CA ... so they must be more than just the 3 mentioned above - but .... OMG - if it hadn't been for the OH man's mother we would never have known about it.

He is 19 years old, and she became concerned about several things happening in his life lately .... he bought a lot of firearms, he bought a lot of ammo, and somehow she got a hold of chats he was having with other people online.

So she called the police to see if they could check it out ... and they found out a lot more than she expected.

I cannot imagine what this gal had to be thinking .... this was her SON who suddenly started showing some bizarre behavior.

It turned out the group had downloaded maps of the DC area, knew where the buildings were, knew where the paths for foot traffic were, and knew approximentally how many people were going to be at the event.

They had their staging positions platted and planned.

They basically had everything for a birthday we'd never forget.

BUT - the FBI was on their case and thrarted it.

THANK GOODNESS!!!!!

So - if you watched the fight on ... I can't remember the live streaming platform it turns out, oh geez .... you didn't even notice anything - the FBI took care of it all, and no one was the wiser.

It will be interesting to see if there was a foriegn government involved .... or maybe the Drug Cartels? Either way - they aren't done with them yet.

THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMM ...

So, it turned out I fell asleep this morning and wound up missing this episode of The View ... luckily i found it on Youtube!!

I have NOTHING to do with this episode .... but I only link it to share it.

Please remember, if this happens corretly, it will open a page on your browser (a New Tab)

So here is JD Vance - the VP of the United States - as he appeared on The View (I thought they had gotten cancelled after the lawsuit with the WH Press secretary?)

ELECTION 2026: FOLLOW-UP - MAINE SENATE, PLATNER .... AGAIN

UPDATE:3AM CT, 2026Jun02 - yeah, I'm still up and watching OUTNUMBERED (FNC) and caught a few more things you should know.

1)they were married in 2023, so 2-3 yrs
2)the App where Platner hangs out is called Kick, and 60% of it's users (15 million/month)  are ages 13-24 years old .... so roughly 9 million of them ... the National Center for Exploitation calls the App a preditors paradise .... ewww.
3)he says he is a socialist ... will they allow you to be on the Navy Seals if you are a Socialist?  I'm going to guess not.

===============================

So - I have lerned a few more things about Graham Platner .... all pretty much from Fox News Channel and ABC news - I'm having issues sleeping again ....

A)he and his wife, Amy have been married at least 2 years.  And about a year ago, he was sending intimate texts to other women ... at least according to his wife.

B)He denies any knowledge of the texts - which his wife was supposed to have turned over to his campaign.

C)During a video the wife made, she spoken of them having 3 seperate councilors ... a marriage councilor, and each of them have their own personal counsellors.  I know he is collecting disability from "the army" (according to Jesse Watters) but since he was supposed to be a Navy Seal, I would think it's from the Navy or Marines .... but I'm not really sure.

But - that's a LOT of counsellors! If one f them is for his disability claim, I can see 2 of them .... but what would cause her to get a seperate one for herself??

D)also in her video, the wife said "marriage is hard", as well as "new marriages are hard" .... but she ends up saying "infidelity is hard" - gee you think?

I look at her ... and I have to wonder - was she ALONE while making this video? I'm telling you - you've got to see her face during her husband's interview about basically the same subject.

E)There was an extra bit to what the gal said on The View (ABC) ... I did see the first part of what she said on a different clip - it doesn't make what she said any better, in fact it kind of makes it worse.

She also said Platner had the Skull tattoo for 20 years and within all that time, according to her, he never learned who/what this particular skull stood for??

Good Point, actually - but that should make you less likely to vote for him!

This particular skull was more than the SS skull ... it was the same tattoo that guards of the Nazi Concentration Camps had!

Yes - it's THAT tattoo ... you don't have to be Jewish to know it, nor do you have to know anyone to understand what this symbol means!

He had to know, he had to know BEFORE he ran for office ... 

I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE SAID THIS

 Out loud!

So this is a FOLLOW UP on Platner... the guy running for Maine's Senate seat ....

As it turns out, The Five (FNC) had his story in the "A" spot .... and a lot of info came out.

1)He did all the texts his wife told about while they were married - and remember, they've only been married a year.  whoa!

2) He washed out of college ... but that's actually not so bad, at least he went, right?

3)This "every Joe" guy recieved $200K from his father for a house ... and his mother bought him the oyster business which makes sense - she's his largest client! 

4)He earns $60K/yr .... nit from the company, but from SSDI from the Navy!!!  Wait - he was a Navy Seal, and now he can't deal with what he went through?? 
Has anyone actually checked his backgound on this one? Did he actually make it, or did he just try? How far did he go, did he go on any missions
Yes, it does matter .... my son-in-law was in the Navy and he has permanent issues with his shoulder because of it, but he doesn't get SSDI for having his shoulder dislocated all the time.

5) He, according to Jess Watters, is still visiting online sites visited by minor kids/girls .... ewww.

6)The View .... OMG - I don't watch then amymore, not since they said there was nothing wrong with Biden - it just showed me how far to the left they really are.  However, on of the ladies on the view, one of the yiunger ones - so not Whoopi or Joy - I don't know the other ones names .... but they were talking about Platner and she actually said "
" ...so he's a liar, a rapist, an anti-Semite, um, he's a homophobe .... this is a concern but out country is in grave, very grave, peril"

What?  Yes, she said that out loud .... these are the EXACT things they kept yelling about Trump, what made him "unacceptable" to hold office.The EXACT same stuff .... but she feels they should look the other way????

You have got to be kidding me! 

Pot, meet Kettle!

ELECTION 2026: MIDTERM ELECTIONS, MAINE

Okay, let's zero in on the State of Maine .... it's that big state on the east coast of the US, it looks kind of like an animal head without ears ... it is supposed to be a beautiful area, I have never been there - too far out of our way in high school (long story)

Well - they are doing their Primary races next week ... and I'm sure you've heard about Graham Platner .... he is just an "everyday Joe" running for Senator.

He was a Navy seal, then a fisherman .... and he got a=married last year by the sounds of it .... he was their "shining star" so to speak.  They figured he was a shoe in.

accept ....

First thing we heard was about his tattoo.  It is supposed to be a Skull and Crossbones which was used during WWII by the Nazis - in particular, the SS, those big bad guys dressed in black - BUT when it was pointed out, he told people he "had it removed" .... said he got it on a drunken night out with his fellow Seals, and he just thought it looked "cool".

1)he never had it "removed" he has it covered up, sort of ... he has had some ink added to it - but - IT'S STILL THERE

2)His leading opponent dropped out of the race - so he was basically supposed to walk away with the Democratic nomination.  Oh God, I hope not.

3)Remember his wife (Amy Gertner) - who just got married to him last year by the sounds of it?  Well, she turned over some salacious texts by her husband to other women, supposably while they were married.

Excuse me??

She thought she was going to get around this by bringing it forth (at least that's her current story) and somehow the media got a hold of it - oh my! 

She says she has forgiven him .... but has she really?  

And why does her name sound so familiar? 

And apparently, there was a person working for Platner - simpky stated a staffer - was going to do an interview, when she began to get threats from another Platner staffer saying he was going to ruin her and she was a liar ... hmmm, this doesn't sound fishy at all.

Platner has said "white rural people" are both "stupid" and "racist" ... say what? .... He also dismissed RAPE in the military ... 

Yeah - can we just forget about him, please?  I know Cory Booker (D-NJ) says they need him, but it seems they both have problems with women in their past ... remember, it was Booker who admitted to acting inappropriately in his younger days .... and right now - women do not mean as much it seems to ANYONE in the Democratic party as much as their voting numbers do!!!

If you can find a video of her while HE makes a statement about what's being said - look at her face ... she can't seem to keep her eyes still, she looks at him, she looks at the floor, she looks at the cameras, and in the end - she looks very SAD     about it all ...

Gov. Janet Mills, dropped out of the Senate race ... interesting, makes me wonder what happened there?  Something in her or her husband's past? Might be worth looking at, guys!

Wow - well, let's nope he will flip the state RED - and I generally don't want a state to be one way or another.

CLEANING HOUSE A LITTLE TOO LATE ....

 So, as if to trying to hide even more ... further ... light shining upon fraud in the state of Minnesota - the Minneapolis Police chief has decided to resign.

But ... let's back up a bit, because there is a lot more to this story ....

In 2022, MPD got a new Chief after Alejandro left .... I don't remember how "voluntary" that one was, but he left ... be he left, and the city went OUTSIDE the city to look for a new head - in fact, they went outside the STATE ... all the way to NEW JERSEY, if I remember correctly.

And we had C ... 

Now they must have done a thorogh and complete vetting of this guy, right? WRONG - according to one reporter, he came with a FILE FULL of "investigations" with him - but I guess that didn't matter.  He left the NJ and the cases disappeared by the sounds of it.

He was then being accused of aggressive behavior on his new job ... including - but not limited to - working on the streets, making "arrests" WITHOUT a body cam which every other office MUST have while working with the public - as opposed to filling in afterhours as private security .... 

This came about when another officer's camera caught the Chief tackling a perp ... apparently, it sounds as if there were some other charges made as well.

Well, it seems as if it didn't take very long for Internal Affairs - aka The Rat Squad - to prick their ears of some of the things being said about the new Chief.

Now, it's not unusual for people, who think they have a better idea of what is actually needed for the position, to bring forth reasons they think will get the new guy into trouble ... but usually this happens when people are promoted within a department - but O'Hara came from outside the department.

But ... anyways .... there were some whispers of "sexual misconduct" going on ... and since he is "above" everyone else, it could easily be a case of power-play going on ...

So, the Rat Pack got involved .... they did interviews .... they did some digging into things .... they taGlked to people involved.

And here's what was found.

A mess - I cannot remember how it went, but here is a YouTube video from Crabby Coffee Shoppe (Garage Logic), in which they describe it all.

It sounds as if O'Hara realized that IF any relationship between himself and this contact was found, he likely would have been prosecuted or at least have raised even more questions.

But - no matter what, he is GONE and now a new Chief is in his place ... although, we will have to see how long this one lasts.

Officer Karen Blackwell .... if her name sounds familiar, think George Flloyd trial - where she ..... well, if you watched the video above you know what is is accused of ...

Here'is another video from tonight's news on KMSP (FOX) where they give a quick overview of what's happening with the "Chief of Police" spot.

BLESSED MEMORIAL DAY

 TODAY is Memorial Day, at least in the USA, I guess in Britian it's called just a "Bank Holiday" and I have no idea what they do in Canada or Australia ... but here we remember those we lost in WAR ....

Those who served, .... and died...
Those who served ... and came back, at least part of them did ...
Those who served ... and came back with emotional issues
Those who served ... and survived

Okay - This is NOT Labor Day .... we are NOT supposed to be celebrating a day off work ...

We are supposed to be remembering ...

My Father, who helped patriot POWs from German concentration camps - go ahead, try to tell me it didn't happen - I've got some opinions on this one.

My Mom's big brother, who was a POW in Japan - it was said he came back with some pretty major issues which broke up his marriage and other addictive issues as well.

Then there are ALL of my Uncle's on my father's side - they ALL served during @@II ... in EVERY branch of service.

Then there are people like my Coucin -  a prud Marine, who served with pride.

And my son-in-law, who was in the Navy but was discharged because he kept dislocating his shoulder - if I remember correctly - but he was there.

and my oldest daughter - who tried to be a Marine, but just couldn't make it through Basic (they rushed her in and she wasn't quite ready yet) ... she still talks about her time with pride and dreams .... 

This is for the Police Officers and Firefighters as well - at least in my mind - who were lost during their duty.

Remember them all ....

Say a prayer - even if its "Thank You"  and that's it - you don't need to go to a cemetary .... you don't need to do anything else.

Just REMEMBER THEM

Then, once that's done .... you may move on with your day ....

UPDATE: KIDNAPPING, NANCY GUTHERIE

 A NEW story has been posted - just today by the looks of it, too.

In this one, a retired FBI agent has a few things to say about the investigation, and now much the sherrif department screwed it up!

So - here's the link .... I hope it still works.

and remember - it will open a new tab when you click on it.

BUT ARE THEY REALLY REPORTERS????

So, in case you missed this, I thought I'd let you know about what's happening in New Yourk City .... you know, that big place, with all those people, who went on a big manhunt a couple years ago .... looking for the person who EXECUTED the CEO of a Health Insurance company.

Well apparently, and I say apparently because  - well we will get there .... apparently you do NOT need to actually be employed by a news agency ... yu can simply have a website or blog and they will count that as being eligible for a "Press Pass".

Now - remember when Obama was president??

There was a man who had gotten a "press pass" .... and he asked some pretty harsh questions.  Well - they decided he did NOT qualify as "press" and pulled his credentials ...

Well, now there are a couple of "worepmen" (I'm pretty sure they are, but you never know these days) who have been issued Press Passes by the NYC POLICE DEPARTMENT.

Wait - what??

So could I get a Press Pass as well??  Don't be foolish - but then these two have been "interviewed" by other legitimate  reporters and they are soooooo biased.

Here's what they said during the interview .... although - I don't know who said what so I'm just going to quote it all as one large answer ...

"F*** Brian Thompson.

I don't give a flying f*** he died.

His chidren are off without him.

They meed to learn to mot be like thier dad and enjoy the blood money kids.

He's responsible for more deathe than Usama bin Laden, and I remember Americans celebratingwhen Usama bin Laden was killed.

It's not like we don't understandheroic violence, or like, when the violence is good.

That's like, as Americn as American gets."

Um .... excuse me????

So these two got Press passes??????

Holy Crap!  What is gRemember oing on???

We've got enough going on in the courtroom - let's not let the Circus into the Press room though.

Remember when a "reporter" - an actual journalist - was supposed to be Neutral??? Leaning neither to the Right, nor to the Left - the best ones, you had no idea which side of the road they were on.

These days -- Good Luck finding one of those!

HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED THIS??

So, I'm listening to Special Report

 (FNC) because the host, Bret Braer, had an EXCLUSIVE interview with President Donald Trump - and if you've been paying attention, you know it's a rare thing ... so I couldn't resist.

Well - I find myself distracted .... has anyone else heard a SLUR, to his speech lately?  Almost like he has way too much spittle - I've never realized it before.

Could he have DENTURES?

I mean it's not a bad thing ... in fact I'm looking at getting a set ... my oldest daughter has had them since she was 25 or 26 yrs old (it's an inherited issue, not drugs or poor dental health) ... 

I'm just wondering.

After all - he's in his 80's, so it's not uncommon .... although, he's rich enough, you'd think he would have implants .... if his bone structure can hold them ... but he sounds like that cartoon cat that says "Suffering Succotash!"

I used to wonder if he had hearing aids, but this is the first I've been totally distracted by the way he sounds.

My mother (also had dentures) used to suck on hard candy - half to keep herself from coughing too much, but also to control the spittle.  I didn't even realize she had them though until she broke her upper plate eating corn, off the cob ... sigh ... I miss eating corn, on the cob ... I was about 16 yrs old, I knew she would use FasTeeth, and that it was goopy - but I had not idea.  She didn't slur her speech, didn't speak with spittle, etc.

It sounded like she got them when she was about 20-25 years old, and she had a terrible time - and my grandfather, her dad, was a "dentist" too!  

IF he does have dentures - I would hope he would make sure ALL dental care is taken care of by Medicare ... we will have to see what happens ... he still has 2 yrs left in his term.
