I'm not sure how Rudolph Giuliani aka Rudy Giuliani gets to pronounce his name Jew-lee-on-knee, but the former New York mayor and lawyer was walking the edge of a quagmire for a few years now and has lost his footing.

His largest claim to fame has been lawyer for Donald J. Trump and that's getting him in a world of trouble for the 2020 election with claims of fraud.

In 2022 he was campaigning (soliciting) for his son in a grocery store when one of the workers tapped him on the back and called him a name (What's up scumbag?) and Rudy claimed he was hit so hard it felt like a shot or being hit with a boulder.
The man was arrested and lost his job. Surveillance video shows a totally different perspective to Rudy's claim. The guy is suing Rudy for $2 Million for false arrest.

The new news is a woman who claims to having been a former associate to Rudy is owed back wages and claims to have been forced into a s*xual relationship. She's seeking $10 Million and says she's got audio to back up her story.

The tip of the iceberg is the claim that Rudy and Donald J. Trump had a plan to sell presidential pardons for $2 million each.

If all this is true, Rudy could slip into the quagmire and possibly take the former president with him.

The Russian and Ukrainian presidents have both agreed to hold separate meetings with a delegation of African heads of state to discuss a possible plan to end the war in Ukraine, according to South Africa's president. Mr Ramaphosa said to have spoken separately over the phone with both Putin and Mr Zelensky at the weekend.

I first heard the term 'swatting' when Marjorie Taylor Greene complained about people calling the police to say she was in a middle of a domestic violence dispute. Cops rushed to her house thinking there was trouble. False alert having them show up at your door, especially if it's in the early morning hours!

A similar term SWATing is when the report is more serious and the SWAT team shows up. This time it was when Steve Bannon was doing a live podcast from a studio in Washington, DC when someone called to say there was a shooting.

Police raided Steve's home (and podcast studio) responding to calls of a shooting at the location. since it was live, his podcast audience heard a scuffle in the background before the host switched to an ad break.

Later in the show, Bannon explained the noise. "We got 'swatted' in the middle of the show."

Apparently, this has happened more than once.

A 30-year-old Black man who regularly danced in the Times Square transit hub was killed on Monday by a rider who put him in a chokehold on the New York City subway.

The confrontation took place as an F train traveling north reached the Broadway-Lafayette station in SoHo. Witnesses say Jordan Neely, recognizable to some New Yorkers as a Michael Jackson impersonator, was behaving erratically at the time. Video footage captured by Juan Alberto Vazquez, a freelance journalist, and shared on Facebook, showed Neely kicking as he was held down by passengers.

The man who pinned down Neely has not been identified but has been described in local reports as a 24-year-old former US marine. The man held Neely in a chokehold with his legs wrapped around his body; Neely lost consciousness during the struggle and later died in the hospital.

Neely died from compression of the neck, the city’s medical examiner determined on Wednesday, classifying his death as a homicide. The office noted that any determination about criminal culpability would be left to the legal system.

As news of Neely’s death spread online, video of the encounter evoked strong reactions from New Yorkers and officials. Some described the act as a lethal overreaction to a person in the throes of mental illness and others defended the marine veteran’s actions.

So, apparently over in England last week, a guy threw a bunch of shot gun shells, over the fence, at Buckingham palace, and threatened to kill the king. Obviously, they have arrested him and taken him into custody, he is easily going to do time.

To Side With Ukraine During Direct Questioning On CNN

Once again this man has shown the world that he is no puppet nor will he be influenced what to do in a corrupt world.
Kudos to this man.

Despite heavy prompting from the host of the town hall show, the former US president refused to side with Ukraine in its conflict against Russia, diplomatically stating that he wants “everybody to stop dying” -

“I don’t think in terms of winning and losing. I think in terms of getting it settled,” he told the New Hampshire audience; “I’ll have that done in 24 hours. You need the power of the presidency to do it,” Trump added.
