There was a time when politician and lawyer Rudy Giuliani was 'on top of the world' even if it was a small world. He was respected by many and (for the most part) made a contribution on controlling crime in New York. Somehow, he flipped from the good side of the law to the bad side. He's 79 years old now and eyeballs deep in legal troubles.

Things probably started going downhill when he started supporting Donald Trump in the 2016 election and was Trump's attorney during that time. Since Trump is known for not paying his attorneys, my guess is it started a financial difficulty for Rudy that only snowballed.

2023 isn't a good year for Rudy. He was indicted in Georgia for his part to overturn the results of the 2020 election and his role in January 6 insurrection. He lost the defamation case with the election workers and later admitted he lied about them. He's got to pay those two women.

Trump had a $100,000 a plate dinner to raise funds for Rudy's legal fees. Unknown what that netted (less Trump's fee) but that's not enough.

News today, Rudy's ex-lawyer has filed a lawsuit seeking nearly $1.4 million in unpaid bills.

He's been barred from practicing law and the bills are stacking up.

It's reported his Upper East Side apartment is on the market for $6.5 million.

That should keep the wolves off his doorstep. Oh, wait... he won't have a doorstep if the apartment sells.
Rudy... of your own doing, you're in deep shit.

I came across a profile this morning where the photo linked to a Canadian woman who posts YouTube videos. From there I found her before and after photos of her plastic surgery that involved moving the fat from her backside to her frontside.
The process is known as a Brazilian Butt Lift.
I first heard the term more than 12 years ago when one of the stylists at the hair salon I went to had the procedure done. Carla (not her real name) was an attractive woman of Latin/Spanish descent and maybe a little too friendly with me at times. She was difficult with English language and had huge buttocks. One day I was there to see my regular stylist and noticed this woman had gone through an amazing transformation. The shape and size of her belly and butt were smaller and her boobs were noticeably bigger. Her jeans were so tight, they looked like they were spray-painted on!
Woah... what happened to Carla? I asked my stylist and was told she had a Brazilian Butt Lift. Carla was friendlier now then in the past. Part of me said 'go for it' and the logical part of me said 'this could be trouble' so I never reacted to her friendly advances.
Less than a year later when I went to my regular stylist, I didn't see Carla and asked. I was told she had an offer to work at another salon and relocated.
So, this morning reading about a Brazilian Butt Lift, the cost, the pain and the woman/women who have the procedure done brought a smile to my face!

I guess I've got to be the first to bring today's top story about Hunter Biden being indictment on federal gun charges... more news at 11pm.

Hashem, thank you very much. My business partner and I even have the same bank for business. China Savings Bank. Legit . All went well.

Unfortunately this is a long documentary, so it's unlikely to be watched by those who have fully engaged with Trump's ethos.

It's very well presented, though.

I'm trying to be non-political today, but I'm noticing a really high percentage of Republicans using the word 'weaponized' to describe any government efforts that follow the law. Governor Ron DeSantis says it often, probably as much as he uses 'woke' to describe some political orientation that differs from his own.

Hearing the word weaponized gets connected with the Department of Justice (DOJ) when they research into someones (believed to be illegal) activity and have proof of wrongdoing... suddenly, the Republicans (or those who support Republicans) insert that word... weaponized in their statements on TRUTH, X (formally Twitter) or news shows.

Last week, I blogged about a political 'dog whistle' where certain words or phrases are used to alert followers of a political group. MAGA was one of them and weaponized needs to be added to the list.

Wouldn't you think laws are in place for a reason?
I get it... when a government agency follows the law they are being weaponized.

Lifted from the online page of the Kyiv Independent newspaper.. The numbers in blue are losses of the past 24 hours. Russian supporters will dispute all of the numbers of course.
Russia of course still insists in all of the war they have only lost about 7,000 soldiers so far. Which is way lower than the 267,540 killed soldiers or solders wounded seriously enough to be a casualty that Ukraine has counted laying a round screaming or feeding crows.
Losing 47 supply or fuel trucks in just the past 24 hours has got to make Russia;s logistic people upset.
The good news for Russia is in the past 24 hours they don't seem to have lost any more boats or planes.

I see in the news that Donald J. Trump was holding a $100,000 a plate fundraiser dinner for his former attorney, Rudy Giuliani. The event was to be held at his Bedminster country club.

I haven't followed up as of yet, but one article brought some interesting reader comments and that is usually better than the story itself.

For example...
If Trump would have paid Giuliani for his legal fees in the first place, he probably would not need to have the fundraiser.

MAGA complain about prices and the economy, yet they continue to donate money to trump and his minions.

Trump must be scared that Rudy will flip on him.

Trump doing something to benefit someone else?? Somehow he will make it all about himself. There has to be something in it for him or else he wouldn't bother.

If Ghouliani thinks he needs money now, just wait until they see the settlement for Miss Ruby, his lawsuit for exploiting his secretary, and Jack Smith drops the J6th charges on him.

He's apparently trying to keep Rudy in the fold. Rudy knows where all the bodies are buried going back to the old days. Since Rudy is guilty as sin, the chances of him turning are good. djt doesn't want that.

Only a complete fool would give Rudy money, he created his own mess, let him pay the price!

Would love to know the number of plates sold and who paid for them. Also, the names of the people who actually attended.
(don't worry - it wouldn't surprise me if there will be investigations for the source of the funds)

Those who contribute to the defense of this traitor are traitors themselves.

Yeah, I’m totally sure ALL of it is going to Rudy, trump wouldn’t ever skimm

MAGA: My Attorney Got Arrested!!

I went out for my morning walk and see someone had dropped 2 bagels in the parking lot expecting to feed the birds.
Some black crows were picking, but strangely no takers.
The reason why... the bagels were stale, as in hard like stone.

I started breaking a bagel into small pieces and throwing out to the birds who quickly ate them up. A squirrel wanted in on the action, so I threw a few larger pieces his way. He grabbed one, climbed the tree and returned for another.

To my surprise, some white birds with long bills came and chased the crows away. They had some difficulty with the size of the pieces I was breaking off for the crows, so I pinched them in 'pea' size chunks and they began to fight over them, eating as fast as I could toss them to the group.

I could see other birds in the nearby tree waiting and after the white birds left, they came over and started feeding. The whole event was more than 30 minutes and both bagels were gone!

I didn't get much walking this morning, but the birds got breakfast on me!

According to google, an atheist is a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods, while a believer is an adherent of a particular religion; someone with religious faith.

So what..??

I don't understand why you guys keep on and on and on arguing or debating on that topic as if doing that will make you good people and be loved. It will make you "nasty" instead. Besides, whatever you say will never change someone's mind anyway. Just a waste of energy..!!


PS
My new passport will be ready on Wed.
First country I have in mind to visit with my Giant is..






NZ.
