To all those who have posted comments with regards to the whereabouts of the Princess of Wales she has spoken for the first time about her desire to tell her children first before making a public announcement.
My thoughts are with her and her family at this moment in time.
Kristel Candelario, enjoying some time on a beach. She posted it to her social media with the caption: “The time enjoyed is the time truly lived.” For ten days, Candelario had the time of her life in Puerto Rico...
Ohio woman gets life in prison after toddler starved at home while she was on vacation..
The judge who oversaw Candelario’s case, Brendan Sheehan, said traveling out of state while leaving a toddler home alone without food was “the ultimate betrayal” that deserved one of the harshest legal punishments available.
judge convicted Kristel Candelario of a life sentence without parole. As he passed down the sentence, he spoke the following words: “Just as you didn’t let Jailyn out of her confinement, so too you should spend the rest of your life in a cell without freedom. The only difference will be, the prison will at least feed you and give you liquid that you denied her.”

High crimes and misdemeanors is the key phrase if you plan on impeaching someone in government. It was used on Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas last month. Tonight, I hit a link where Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asked former Biden family associate Tony Bobulinski about what crimes he alleges he witnessed President Biden commit during a House Oversight Committee hearing.
The committee is proceeding without specific allegations.

Like him or not, Micheal Cohen brought up some interesting discussion about how Trump could raise money to post bond for the New York civil fraud trial. Trump had claimed to have the cash. He doesn't or he would have posted bond and stop the accruing interest.
If he liquidates properties, it won't be soon and he will have to pay taxes on the long-term capital gains, as high as 40% and pay off mortgages too.
Chubb already fronted money for the defamation case against E. Jean Carroll. What corporation or billionaire will front him money knowing there's a chance it won't be repaid?
There's always a suspicion he will back channel money from a foreign government... Saudi or Russian. That would put him in a compromising position of favoritism should he make it to the White House. Other suspicions are he's holding on to some of the classified documents that could be a negotiating tool. Cohen states our national security is at risk.
As he says... it's No Joke.

I studied Uilleann (Irish) pipes in a former life and pipers often talked about their 'big gig' was to play in a pub on St. Patrick's Day. Some made the most money on that event, more than any other performance.
Good music, great craic... lots of brew.
I quick scanned the forums and blogs, but not to see any mention of this holiday today.
Tradition for those living in Chicago is to witness them adding dye into the river!

I see in the news, Russian president Vladimir Putin is up for reelection and there is no one (who survived) who is running against him. He's expected to win the election this week, making it his 7th consecutive term.
That means parades and parties in the street to celebrate...

Brian Butler, aka Trump Employee 5, is a central witness in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents investigation/indictment. Butler, was employed at Mar-a-Lago for 20 years, originally had an attorney provided by Trump, has his own attorney now and changed his story. He has spoken repeatedly with investigators as he unknowingly helped Walt Nauta deliver boxes of classified information from Mar-a-Lago to the former president’s plane in June 2022, headed to Trump's residence in Bedminster Country Club.
In and exclusive interview by Kaitlan Collins of CNN, Brian spoke out about the case and his involvement, stating he doesn’t believe the criminal case against Trump is a “witch hunt,” as the former president has claimed.
Interview here:
It's important to know, Trump's attorney had arranged a meeting with the FBI and that the search was no secret, different to Trump's claim. Also noted, Trump as former president has secret service when he travels and due to the level of top security, both local police and the governor of Florida were also informed of the search.

I'm a short distance from a golf course. On top of the clubhouse is a weather station with a device for monitoring lightning strikes. I've read that Coral Springs (not far from me) is the lightning capital of the world. It's where marshland easterly winds meet ocean westerly winds, causing temperature and humidity changes.
The weather station system has sirens (that can be heard a mile away) to alert golfers of impending danger.
It was dark when I got up to go walking, only to hear rains and the sirens around 6:30am
Thinking who the fuk plays golf in the dark?
Maybe they should put a timer on that device!

The Republican National Committee (RNC) required a loyalty pledge from the 2024 presidential candidates to endorse the party's nominee and to be allowed on the debate stage. Trump declined to sign and didn't participate (directly) in any of the debates.
Nikki Haley is the last GOP candidate standing against Trump and said she no longer feels bound to pledge her support for Trump if he becomes the nominee.
Stated in an interview that aired this past Sunday on NBC's show Meet The Press, Haley said: “The RNC is now not the same RNC,” adding “I'll make what decision I want to make."
Hang in there Haley... Trump was found guilty of defamation, corporate corruption and is teetering on insurrection, theft of classified documents and an attempt to overturn the Georgia election.
Who knows, if he goes to jail you will become the Republican nominee with a chance to win the 2024 election against Sleepy Joe. At that point... they will be asking your pledge to pardon Trump's sentence.
