Will DONALD TRUMP take the witness stand? I bet several people whose heads are stuck down the rabbit hole some time ago that there was NO CHANCE despite his blowhard bravado of 'of course I'll testify' and 'I've got nothing to hide' and my favorite 'only a guilty person takes the fifth and doesn't testify' but my betting window is still open for all you trumpdy-dumptys out there. Name your price.

Ok, enough is enough. I don't care if you're a Jew or a Palestinian. You do have the right to peaceful protest BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT to set up tents on private property without the consent of the owner or take over buildings. I thought that the universities AND THE POLICE showed a great deal of restraint and allowed them plenty of time before issuing a deadline to pack up and leave BUT OF COURSE that deadline was ignored and then they all whined when their crap was thrown into the back of a garbage truck. Done.
But you still have another option. Move back to Gaza or Israel and you can be right there on the front lines for your cause. Need a ride to the airport?

The dilemma with Israel/Gaza. Do you continue the assault until all prisoners are accounted for? Do you stop the assault so humanitarian aid can be provided? Do you get to the negotiation table and reach a temporary solution? or a permanent one in which all prisoners on both sides are released and brought home safely? Do you put boots on the ground to find all remaining members of Hamas?
Every time I hear a solution that sounds reasonable, I revert back to the video of October 7 when those Hamas animals broke thru the security fences with the sole intent of slaughtering Jews peacefully living in their kibbutz on their Saturday holy day of reflection. Women, children and babies were massacred and some be-headed for no other reason than being Jewish and the murder count reached 1200+. And then I get angry all over again and I totally understand their anger and rage. A terrible situation with no right answer.

As most of you know, I'm a sandwich/sausage guy and I recently discovered BEDDAR SAUSAGE WITH CHUNKS OF CHEDDAR CHEESE. Simply awesome but too long on the grill or in the microwave and the cheese starts leaking all over. Smoked sausage by Johnsonville.
Havarti cheese with dill.............exquisite. Especially on a grilled burger.

WILL TRENT is finishing his second season and should be on your watch list. Will is a troubled detective with the Georgia Bureau of Investigations who lost his mother at an early age and was raised in an orphanage and tries to hide his dyslexia by using a hand held recorder rather than taking notes. His partner is a black woman with questionable morals who is hiding her diabetes so she doesn't get put on permanent desk duty. Add a thug detective going thru an angry divorce and another female detective trying to get sober and that's your ensemble. But you have to start with season 1 episode 1.

Will the United States get blamed for the helicopter crash in Iran that killed their president?

Is it just me or does it rain every other day? I'm mowing my lawn twice a week.😖

100 billion locusts coming my way! Haven't seen one or heard one. Is this another Y2K?

19 more Catholic parishes in the Chicagoland area are scheduled to be closed due to "budgetary issues." Hey, let me help you out with defining that phraseology.......
In plain speak, it means that 'we continue to get our asses kicked in civil court to the tune of mega-millions and we can no longer afford to keep the doors open because for years we tolerated pedophile priests molesting children and never did anything about it'
Now the one good thing that has come about because of the litigation is that there is a SERIOUS shortage of priests because they are either in prison or the neighborhood perverts are avoiding the priesthood because there is too much attention on new priests and they are actually doing backgrounds before being accepted into the seminary.
Now if we can only get the Catholic church to go completely out of business and close it's doors forever. They are a shameful organization and deserve to be treated just like the nazi party in Germany after WWII. No longer allowed.

Nice weekend weather this past weekend in the city. 30 wounded, 1 killed. Just like spring training! The best/worst is yet to come!!!

Speaking of Chicago, what a surprise when the most recent stats indicate that 48 freaking per cent of youths on the west side are not in school AND unemployed. WHAT A SURPRISE! A local 'mentor' said the kids get discouraged because when they apply for a job, they don't get hired. NO!! Ok, here are some helpful hints the next time you apply:
Don't show up wearing black gym shoes with your baseball hat turned to the left or right. As a matter of fact, DON'T wear a baseball hat. Don't grunt when you're asked a question. 'Yes sir' and 'No sir' are perfectly acceptable answers. DO NOT CARRY A GUN. or a knife. or drugs. Take a shower and comb/brush your hair. Wear a pair of dress slacks and a collared shirt with polished street shoes. And finally, when the summer is over, get your ass back in school! You're welcome.
Finally, billionaire KEN GRIFFIN donated 125 million dollars to THE MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY and yesterday they officially changed the name to the GRIFFIN MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. There is no chance anyone calls it anything but the original name, kind of like DUSABLE LAKE SHORE DRIVE. It will forever be LSD in song and thought. But thanks for the money, Ken.
That's it for now. Enjoy Memorial Day and remember to stay out of Chicago. Adios!
