JUST MORE ODDS & ENDS

 Ex-con Patrick Montgomery, 48, indicted in January on 10 counts related to his storming of the Capitol, was arrested again for possessing a firearm and shooting a mountain lion in Colorado. He had agreed to a list of conditions for release from jail, including not having or using a firearm or violating any state or local laws. Although the lion was taken on the last day of hunting season, Montgomery was cited for violating pre-trial conditions and possession of a firearm by a felon.


Montgomery, who served 6 years for robbery back in the mid-90's and proudly wears a red baseball cap, was also cited in March for using a sling shot to knock a bobcat out of a tree and then letting his dogs kill the cat. Nice guy, huh? Montgomery was cited by Conservation police for taking a bobcat out of season and using illegal hunting methods and that case is pending. Amazingly, Montgomery is now on 24/7 house arrest with a GPS ankle monitor instead of sitting in jail. See you in July, Patrick.

In another story that makes my one eyebrow elevate, former Florida tax collector Joel Greenberg pled guilty to 6 counts in federal court, including several involving the sex trafficking of a 17 year old girl to himself and close friends. Greenberg's attorney teased the media when he said that the fallout from his client's plea will be 'must see tv.'  For the uninitiated, Greenberg has been the 'wingman' and close friend for years of republican congressman Matt Gaetz, who is still dodging the media after his initial denial of any wrongdoing with Greenberg. There has also been no comment from Gaetz' girlfriend.

BILL GATES......Now there's a name that when you hear it, you immediately think of money and computers but mostly money, as in 130 BILLION. Gates has announced that he and his wife of 27 years are calling it quits and have already decided on who gets what BUT the internet vultures are trying to make a big deal out of the fact that Gates has an eye for the ladies. SHOCK! The guy has more money than God and those people tend to stray and graze....because they can. Just ask Jeff Bezos of Amazon. I think this is much ado about nothing but we'll see.

Let's hear for the Chicago cat who jumped from a 5th floor window to avoid a fire......and walked away!   I don't know the cat's name but it should be STONES!!

Deputies in North Carolina were justified, according to the district attorney, in their shooting of Andrew Brown, who drove his vehicle directly at deputies who were trying to arrest him on drug charges. Brown jumped into his vehicle when deputies arrived on scene and ignored lawful orders to stop the car, making contact with two of the deputies as he backed out. Brown was a convicted felon with a history of resisting arrest. The FBI is also investigating for a possible civil rights violation.

Just a side note which I've authored before.....When the cop says 'stop', you stop immediately and raise your hands. It's not that difficult to understand. It really isn't.

When I was a kid, either ANN MARGARET or RAQUEL WELCH was every boy's heart throb because they both had big hair, skimpy clothes AND large partially exposed BAZOOMERS and they made enough movies and tv appearances to keep our minds racing to parts unknown. Both of them turn 80 this year. Check out the photos and you'll understand my tribute!   RelaxedSmiling face with hornsHeart Eyes

Also turning 80 this year but nowhere near as sexy, is the all-time hit king in major league baseball, PETE ROSE. He was banned from baseball 33 years ago for gambling and to put it in perspective, the average murderer serves just over 17 years.  Isn't it time to drop the ban so he can be put into the HALL OF FAME?  I don't think he would mind one bit if an asterisk * was placed on his plaque explaining that he bet on baseball.  Let him in. Enough is enough.

LATE BREAKING NEWS!!!!! As I was typing, a news flash appeared stating that another maggot from the Capitol riot was taken into custody in South Carolina after being indicted by a grand jury. NICHOLAS LANGUERAND, 26, lived in Vermont in January but then departed rapidly after the riot but one of his "friends" turned him in and told the feds he was hiding at a relative's house. The presiding judge said 'no bail' for the time being and invited Nicky to enjoy some different government property.
The beat goes on...............

ADIOS for now. Stay safe and get vaccinated.
