Da Numbas...

It's always entertaining to work around someone who grew up in New York City and cannot get around the accent. One salesman would say "Da Numbas" when the rest of us knew he meant 'the numbers'
In business, the numbers means so much. If you have to sell enough to keep the business going. That said, you have to sell high enough to turn a profit. It's all in the numbers. Or, as they say in New York "Da Numbas."

Lots of things going on this week and I haven't had the time to read/watch news as much as I usually do. Mentioned before, I'll scan a story and go to the reader comments, as they often have things to say that are more important than the news story itself.

I see there's a blow-by-blow on what's happening with Trump and the New York fraud trial.

The former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, Allen Weisselberg had a bad case of amnesia and couldn't answer the many questions he was asked while under oath. That's okay and often the prosecutor asking the questions often has the answer and it's just a matter of procedure if the witness is willing to lie or not. Considering Weisselberg already spent time in jail he wasn't going to do or say anything of value.

One of the reader comments talked about the numbers that I found interesting:
Only 13 Presidents failed to get re-elected.
Only 5 Presidents failed to win the popular vote.
Only 4 Presidents have been impeached or resigned.
Only 1 President has ever been criminally indicted.
Only ONE President has done ALL FOUR



"For years, a high-ranking accountant at the Trump Organization was the point man for ensuring that tweaked numbers padded Donald Trump’s wealth on paper.

But when he appeared on the witness stand at the former president’s bank fraud trial last week, the accountant’s supposed finance expertise suddenly vanished into thin air."

New link:



Trump is still complaining in public he didn't get a jury trial.
But the truth is he's not admitting what really happened.
The jury request should have been formally requested from his attorney.
There is a box to be checked and they ignored it.
A blunder by his lawyers and he's trying to make people believe it's a corrupt judicial system.
