How can people not see the problem here?

Arthur F. Engoron.I’m very, very, confused about this whole Trump affair in New York.

The Judge found Trump Guilty of a crime for which there were no victims, in fact the supposed Victims testified in court they’d be pleased as punch for the Trump organization to victimize them some more.

The “Fraudulent” business dealings in question provided  the City and State of New York substantial tax revenue and Wall Street investors via their proxies (The Banks) profited.

I’m not seeing the criminality here.

Having worked in mortgage banking for a while during my career, I know that no bank takes at face value what the person or company applying for the loan claims the property is worth. Banks always review and independently verify the property value.

I’m not seeing where the fraud is,

If I have a penny that’s got some unique property and you want that penny. If you offer me $100 for that penny, then the penny has a current value of $100. If someone else offers $200 for the penny, The current value of the penny is $200. If you really want the penny and you go to a bank for a loan, The Bank and you may come to an agreement wherein the bank agrees to the value of the Penny and is willing to loan you $200.

Now you can pay me up to  $300 for the penny. I agree to sell you the penny for $300. I pay the income tax on the $300. You pay the Sales Tax on the $300. Nothing has changed about the penny but its value is now $300. You pay the Bank interest on the $200 they loaned you and the bank pays income tax on that interest. 

In addition, the bank pays its employees, You pay a guard to protect your Penny. The bank employees and your guard buy gas, and groceries, and lattes at Starbucks. Through it all the state and city derive tax revenue all from the sale of one unique  Penny.

Leticia James.This in a very simplistic fashion is what Donald Trump is “Guilty” of in New York.

I don’t see the crime Trump committed.

What I do see is an egregious miscarriage of Justice. I see breath taking corruption. I feel Shame, that our vaunted justice system has been degraded and dragged through the mud.

Lady justice lies naked, beaten, and bloodied. She’s been brutally raped by New York Attorney General Letitia James, and New York Judge Arthur Engoron.

(As an aside, I can’t think of too many things more horrible than being raped by Arthur Engoron. Damn! That visual is gonna give me nightmares.)

The miscarriage of justice doesn’t end there. The way Engoron wrote his order forces Trump to post into a New York Court system account 387 million dollars before Trump can appeal to a higher court. Further, Trump cannot leverage or sell  his real estate holdings in New York to obtain the cash bond to file the appeal, and  locks Trump out of using banks in New York to obtain a loan.

Honestly, this looks like the State of New York confiscating property to prevent the defendant from filing an appeal. In other words The City and State of New York is effectively denying a defendant their right to appeal. Leticia James is talking about taking Trumps Buildings. If she were to do this, then the State and City of New York will be committing outright THEFT! Not that the Democrats in New York give a shit. They won’t give a shit until their Condos and apartments are seized.

But it’s worse, it’s more disgusting.  The law requires that interest be charged on the unpaid bond daily until the bond is secured. So Trump must cough up something like 400 million dollars now, and that number keeps going up.

Kathy Hochul.This is an obscenity that is stomach turning. I don’t give a shit about Trump. I give a shit about the justice system being so corrupt that the accused never has a chance.

What is playing out before our eyes is the very Nazi, Communist, system that our grandfathers and fathers fought to stop in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Cold War.

The heart break is that so many people are in a joyful tizzy that Trump is on the hook and completely missing that this shit could happen to them.

It gets even more disgusting when you realize that if Engoron’s ruling stands. Trump and his companies can’t do business in New York for 3 years. Meaning that they can’t liquidate their properties to exit New York and they must remain to be Financially Raped by the State of New York. Liquidation of assets is doing business. So they can’t move, they can’t conduct business, and they still have to pay the tax burden on the properties they can’t get rid of.

This is similar to some of the stuff I believe we fought a revolution against the King of England about.

Governor Kathy Hochul of New York went on television to assure other corporations and businesses that they had nothing to worry about. Trump was a special case.  Every businessman or corporation should be asking the question, “When do I become a special case?”

If any of these businesses have a lick of sense they’d better be looking for the door out of New York. I guarantee there will not be enough “Snake Pliskins” to help them escape from New York later.

The Truckers, while I’m glad to see them refusing to deliver to NYC, are unfortunately missing the point. Many of these Truckers are independent small business owners. They too get loans for trucks, and trailers. They also are likely to “Exaggerate” the worth of their business, property, or vehicles to secure a loan to advance their business. 

What New York has done is a direct threat to them all. Especially any of these truckers operating out of a state that thinks like New York. What happens if one of these guys makes a politician or a judge angry? 

Kathy Hochul’s reassurances notwithstanding to the people of New York… This new legal tool, and that’s exactly what it is, being successfully used on Trump, means it will be used again and again to drive anyone who questions authority into debtor’s prison. (Remember those? England under King George had a lot of them and emptied them onto boats to settle the colonies.)

Do you know anyone who could afford to pay even $500,000 to post a bond without being able to leverage their property or work with a bank in the state in which they reside? You realize that banks have rules imposed by the US Government that make opening an account in another state very difficult, much less depositing cash or getting a loan. 

These independent truckers shouldn’t be carrying water for Donald Trump.

They should be screaming bloody murder about the way the justice system has been perverted in New York and their platform should be to make sure nothing like this happens in any other state.

It’s not too far a step from having to buy an appeal, to just buying an appellate judge to rule in your favor.

I know, there are a lot of you reading this and saying “That Can’t Happen! WWDucat you’re out of your mind!”

Okay, over the past 4 years how much that “Couldn’t Happen” or “Couldn’t be True” has happened or been proven?

I never in my whole life imagined that I’d see a criminal case where the Defendant was found guilty with no Victims. I never believed that the Justice system could be weaponized with legislators of a state reconfiguring the statute of limitations to be able to try one man. I Never thought it was possible for a man to be tried for a sexual assault in a public place that didn’t happen, be found innocent, then be tried again and found guilty because he said he didn’t know the person and he believed she was clearly ill. 

Oh, and just to be clear, the woman in question has a history of false accusations of sexual assault. She couldn’t remember the exact date, she says she didn’t cry out in a public place with people not 20 feet away, she claimed she was too shocked to do anything but take it.

Uh huh, RIGHT! I’ve actually been the guy who opened the door to a female friend 1/2 hour after she’d been raped. I can’t in any way imagine any unimpaired woman just accepting being raped. That’s doubly true if the woman is in a freaking Macy’s. My friend was raped in her own apartment and the place looked like a bomb went off. She apparently fought like a demon and lost only because he beat her unconscious. So based on my knowledge of my friend, nah… Trump probably wasn’t ever in the same building with E Jean Carrol until the first bullshit trial.

Before I leave this particular aspect of Trumps NYC legal issues, I want to point something else out. Every single woman should be pissed as hell at E Jean Carrol and New York City, because now any woman claiming to have been raped by a well to do or wealthy man will be treated with suspicion and derision. “Oh don’t listen to her, she’s just trying to pull an E Jean Carrol on me because she’s mad at me for some reason or another. You know how women are…”

Trump spoke the truth and got fined 87 million dollars because the nut job had her feelings hurt.

So all of these “Can’t Happen” things have happened in the past 2 years who’s to say the “Can’t Happen” stuff won’t keep happening?

Trump might be the lightening rod. 

Trump is not the issue. The issue is the clear, persistent, and unchecked corruption evident in every single branch and level of our government.

If the people and I mean all the people of this country do not unite against this corruption regardless of their political party or personal hatred of Trump, the United States of America is done.

We The People must not be cowed into submission due to fear of our corrupt government.

Update:

Praise Jesus!

Not 10 minutes after I wrote this piece and scheduled it for publication, I flipped on the TV and there was an interview with a truck driver from Louisiana who gets it.

Thank God for us Southern Men!

He said and I’m paraphrasing,  Lets forget Trump, don’t matter if you call him President, Criminal, or what ever. If these people can do it to Trump, they can do it to any one of us.

DAMN! I’m not fucking alone! My People, crazy as some of us may be, aren’t stupid sheep! I’ve always been proud of my Southern Roots, but today my heart is bursting with Southern Pride.

The truckers are apparently going to boycott delivery of goods to NYC. 

That’s likely to be interesting. What happens when the criminals, the illegals, and the dumbass liberals all go hungry in a city where the police force has been decimated?

Good Golly, I’m gonna have to make sure I’ve got Popcorn and Beer. This is likely to be really fucking entertaining!

Ahh Gotta love the tryany of inclusivness!

Recently, I started seeing little bit of chatter urging people to not donate any more money to the Multiple Sclerosis Society. 

I wasn’t sure what that was about. The Multiple Sclerosis Society has been around for a long time and has done a lot of work supporting people with Multiple Sclerosis.

I always thought of them as a pretty honorable group, as such things go.

Wherever there is money and tax free organizations, there is always misappropriation of funds and the nasty infighting of power hungry individuals scrambling to the top of the hierarchy. 

It’s a fact of life. My rule has been that if more than 60% of the dollars actually get to helping the people an organization claims to serve, then they’re probably okay to donate cash to, as long as I get the tax deduction out of it.  

Ever since my encounters with the HRC, United Way, and Several of the “Pride” organizations in the 1990s. I’ve been a lot tighter with my money and my volunteer time.

It’s not that  I don’t want to help other people out, it’s that I don’t want to volunteer time, money, effort, and resources to make a bunch of assholes at the top of an organization wealthy and powerful.

Most of the organizations I encountered behaved a lot more like High School Prom committees than actually wanting to help. Every organization was rife with back stabbing, misspending, cliques, the “popular” shitting on the less popular, and all the shitty behaviors you can imagine people are capable of. Any of this sounding familiar? If you need a refresher course, go volunteer for one of the alphabet groups for just one week. I dare you!

Believe me, after that you’ll be ready to move off grid, never interacting with another human being for the rest of your life.

Besides, we’re already forced to participate in this sort of group behavior with our shitty government Federal and State!

I learned my lesson!

Imagine my surprise learning what the source of the chatter was. I absolutely agree that the Multiple Sclerosis Society needs to have its donations cut off.

It turns out that Libs Of TikTok is the source of the chatter and once again I have to applaud them.

The story is this, 

A 90-year-old California woman has been fired from her volunteer role at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society after 60 years of service because she didn’t understand the necessity of declaring her preferred pronouns. 

And why should she? I guarantee she understands Pronoun usage better than most people. Even if she isn’t an English teacher.

What she didn’t understand was being forced to declare her pronouns. Yes I said FORCED! 

To someone like her, or in fact myself, having to declare pronouns is a useless and pointless exercise. Pronouns have pretty much always been self evident.

I personally despise being forced to declare my pronouns, because doing so, drags me into someone else’s delusions and makes it appear that I support those delusions. Which I do not! Nor do I wish to keep up with the ever changing miasma of odd combinations of two or three letters which are unpronounceable, yet appear to serve as a pronoun for some visibly deranged individual.

Upon seeing these individuals, it is not what pronoun I should use that is forefront in my mind. It is usually the verb, “RUN”.

There is a YouTube interview here with Fran Itkoff who is the volunteer the Multiple Sclerosis Society dismissed.

I’m linking the Breitbart article here 

Further I’m lifting chunks of the Breitbart article that are interesting. I urge you to read the entire article.

“An email from National MS Society Community Engagement Manager Kali Kulor accused the veteran volunteer of violating the nonprofit’s “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” guidelines.“

Fran Itkoff is 90. She’s been involved with the MS Society for 2/3 of her life. I’d say she fucking deserves a little consideration and courtesy.

Oh and this is just my opinion… FUCK Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. How about we just treat each other with respect, kindness, and courtesy?

“Itkoff’s daughter, Elle, said the move to fire her mom was “ironic” because “excluding a 90-year-old disabled woman who has volunteered for 60 years” doesn’t seem to fall in line with the group’s mission for inclusivity.” 

This is one of the best examples of, ‘Lets be inclusive by being exclusive.’ You know, kind of like college safe spaces that say, “All are welcome here, EXCEPT WHITE PEOPLE!”  If the people coming up with this sewage had the briefest moment of introspection, or the capacity to think with any kind of logic they’d probably have their heads implode. Unfortunately, instead they assault the rest of us with their insanity.

Frankly, I’m DAMN sick and tired of the psychological assault!

The Libs of TikTok interview has gone viral.

“Following the viral interview, the National MS Society doubled down on their decision to fire Itkoff. In an email to other volunteers, the executive vice president of the group’s general counsel implied that the 90-year-old was let go because others shouldn’t have to feel “unsafe” at work.“

Unsafe at work? What the fuck? How about the fact that through my entire career, there have been people who got my pronouns right but couldn’t pronounce my last name?

AHHHHHHHHH I’m afraid! I’m damaged, I’m Triggered, I’m not valued, I’m unsafe at work! Where is my million dollar restitution????

Unsafe at work… My Hairy ASS!

Grow a spine, and thicker skin you fucking pronoun pussies!

Can you tell I’m over this kind of shit?

Good I knew you could!

“The sudden resignation of the society’s president and CEO, Cyndi Zagieboylo, further added fuel to the flames.” 

I suspect that Cyndi Zagieboylo saw the handwriting on the wall and decided she didn’t want to be at the helm of a society that was probably going to self destruct. So she exited stage left, getting out while the gettin was good.

In a way I respect her if that is what she did and why. She probably realized the rot was too far gone for her to be able to do anything about it.

In typically laughable fashion, The MS Society has attempted to, what? Explain themselves? Uh, hold the course? Ignore the real issue? (They’re wrong, and they’ve fucked up.) By releasing this statement.

“Recently, a volunteer, Fran Itkoff, was asked to step away from her role because of statements that were viewed as not aligning with our policy of inclusion. Fran has been a valued member of our volunteer team for more than 60 years. We believe that our staff acted with the best of intentions and did their best to navigate a challenging issue. As an organization, we are in a continued conversation about assuring that our diversity, equity and inclusion policies evolve in service of our mission, and will reach out to Fran in service of this goal.“

Apparently, the MS Society has also taken down their Board of Directors page. Why is unclear. 

Some are suggesting that perhaps the blowback has been intense enough that the board is attempting to “Hide” 

I hate to say it, but perhaps the National Multiple Sclerosis Society needs a good dose of the “BudLight Treatment”.

When their donations drop to the point that they’re laying off payed staff and not being able to keep the lights on, maybe they’ll get the message that this Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion shit needs to fucking stop.

At least now I get why X/Twitter chatter was saying to defund the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Surprisingly, I agree.

Yeaaaa! Comming to a grocery Store Near you

I’m officially looking for a new grocery store.

I’d been shopping at the local Stater Brothers but that was getting to the point that they never had anything that I wanted in stock.

So I started going to Ralphs (a.k.a.) Kroger

I started today with the intention to have a short grocery trip and went to the Staters. They were literally out of the first three items on my shopping list.

I grabbed my bags and walked out of the store. I drove the 45 minutes to the Ralphs. It’s in a shopping center with a Lowes, Costco, Home Depot, Pet Co, and Boot Barn.

Before shopping for groceries, I did a little shopping at the pet co and boot barn. I’m looking for a good leather belt, and Im also looking for a non-hooded water resistant winter jacket. Something like a Carhart or whatever. I just want something that’s going to last.

I was singularly disappointed. Shopping for stuff like that used to be fun. Now, not so much. Maybe I’ll try REI but I doubt I’ll find anything at a price I want to pay.

Giving up I headed to the grocery store and began shopping. It’s nice to be able to just go down my list and get the items on the list without it turning into an exercise in futility.

All was going well, there were the usual moronic people blocking the aisles but that’s become so typical I almost don’t notice it anymore. I did notice that a lot more men were shopping I think I noticed because it typically wasn’t the men who were blocking the aisles but we were all shaking our heads waiting for a woman to wake the hell up.

Then I found that I couldn’t get all the way down 2 aisles because they were blocked by the store employees. In this case they were restructuring the seasonal section. But they’d managed to obstruct access to Kleenex and Toilet paper. Ahem, bad Idea. 

Annoying but I finally managed to get the items I needed.

Moving along, I was happy because my list was rapidly being crossed off. Then I wandered into the section that had soap, shampoo etc. except that entire area was under construction because now they’re going to lock these items in a large cage and if you want one of these Items you enter the cage, make your selection, and have to PAY for it before leaving the cage. Then you can continue your shopping for food.

Great! Inconvenient! This is because of increasing theft.

I am not shopping in a shit hole neighborhood. Well it wasn’t a shit hole.

I don’t think I’ll be shopping at this particular Ralphs anymore. I was trying to figure out why this disturbed me so much.

On the way home I came up with a partial explanation. 

I don’t like being treated as if I’m a thief. I don’t like associating with people who are thieves. I don’t like shopping in crime ridden areas, and for a grocery store to be taking this action, suggests that this neighborhood is crime ridden and dangerous. 

Perhaps this is California in general these days. I can suggest a solution. Make Crime Illegal again, MCIA! (That’s mine!) I’m to the point where cops shooting criminals in the streets would be fine!

I firmly believe that when thieves bodies start stacking up on the sidewalks, crime will drop to freaking zero over night.

That will never happen! California seems to think that 900 bucks of theft per person per store is perfectly fine and moreover it is a sustainable business model.

We’ve already seen where this ends up. Stores closing. 

I’m very disappointed, I thought I was far enough away from the shit, I guess the entire state is going to shit. I also think this means I need to sell my home.  It’s time to leave before this gets really ugly and destroys my home value.
