In the news last week were stories about the passing of former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, who died at the age of 96. The tribute service was packed with friends, relatives and former presidents with their wives. In one of the headlines was a guy I didn't recognize, so I clicked the link and it hit me. Jimmy Carter, now 99 years old was wheeled in to the service.



It won't be long before they are reunited.

A British government-ordered inquiry this week said it found serious failings at hospitals where an electrician who was later convicted of murder had been able to have sex with more than 100 corpses over a 15-year period without being detected.

David Fuller’s necrophilia was uncovered in 2020 when police used DNA to tie him to the 1987 slayings of two women and also discovered millions of images of s*xual abuse in his home. The images included videos of him having sex with the dead bodies of women and girls in the mortuaries at two hospitals where he worked in southeast England.

Perry was a well loved actor in Friends and several other TV progs and films, he will be greatly missed.

RIP Matthew

Great news for all Democrats and those who fear what will happen should Trump continue to look for a second term.

Dean is a centralist with almost no hard-left viewpoints.

I wonder how long it will take for some Republicans to spread lies and misinformation about Dean?

What's the purpose of a gag order if you're defiant and have a string of lawyers and followers supporting you?
I'm reading that Trump, despite all the warnings from the judges believes it's political because he's leading in the polls for the next presidential election. He's so confident that he can say and do literally anything he wants.
Every article I've read about his behavior this month always has reader comments that believe he should be reeled in. Why is he so special, when anyone else out on bail with a gag order who doesn't follow the instructions of the court gets to sit in jail a few days and it the offense is serious enough, they get to stay 'on ice' until the trial date.

Yeah... that's what I've been reading.

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.

"Former President Donald Trump reportedly shared details about America’s nuclear submarine program with an Australian billionaire, who then went on to tell journalists, foreign officials and others about the sensitive information, according to multiple reports."
