Pilgrim, I’ve always found it curious over the world’s obsession with hair … the Muslim’s insistence that women’s hair be covered …the subject of a Broadway musical … the amount of money and effort paid on one’s coif by famous people … some men’s obsession with women’s flowing locks … even the current banishment of underarm and pubic hair, even on men.
There must be some deep-seated reason for this sartorial focus … but it escapes me …
STAND UP TO OBSESSIONS!

The Biden administration has added one more condition to their debate demands— Trump cannot use the “I” words: inflation, immigration, Iran, interest [rates], insurrection [not], infanticide, indebtedness, illegals, Israel, intifada, instability, idiot or influence [peddling].
STAND UP TO THE “I” WORDS!
It’s been said that politicians would sell their first-born in order to hold onto their office. Well Pilgrim, this obviously does not apply to swampy Republicans who are falling over themselves to thwart Trump’s takeover of their party. There have been three GOP representatives … McCarthy, Buck, Gallagher leaving a majority of one … with others possible … threatening their majority.
Although this creates difficult times for the current Republicans, it likely means that, were Trump re-elected, he would have a more loyal party.

Hold on Pilgrim … there’s a new box … ADHD ... or neurologicaly woke. Angela Alsobrooks has won the Democrat primary for its open Maryland Senate seat … as a black woman with ADHD. She will face off against Republican ex-Governor Larry Hogan in November. That extra checked box has gotta help.

| Trump and Judge Merchan |
The political elites in New York State as well as its bar association should be hanging their heads in shame for their silence in reaction to the travesty of the ‘Hush Money” trial now taking place in Manhattan. Judge Merchan is completely compromised and does not even attempt to run a fair judicial process.
The New York State legal oversight’s silence is shameful and complicit. Perhaps AG Letitia James has set a bad example?
A very sorry spectacle …

The clerk at Trump’s company who entered his 34 checks to Michael Cohen, Esq. into their system testified she used a pull-down menu to classify these payments and chose “legal expense.” The menu did not include “non-disclosure agreement” or “hush money.”
Ergo … verdict for falsifying financial records — NOT GUILTY
Afterward: this event occurred about 6 months after Trump was elected … and now is well past the statute of limitations for this misdemeanor.
STAND UP FOR INNOCENCE!
DA Alvin Bragg is prosecuting Donald John Trump in Manhattan for something unspecified. How this is possible is an enigma of the New York justice system.
So, Pilgrim, the jury will need to come to a verdict on some offense. The question for today is what will it be:
- Falsifying financial records
- Schtupping Stormy Daniels
- Wearing silk pajamas
- Schtupping Playboy bunny, Karen MacDougal
- Getting Stormy Daniels to sign a non-disclosure agreement (hush money)
- Violating campaign laws by using campaign funds for this non-disclosure
- Not using campaign funds for this non-disclosure
- Not wearing his court-ordered ball-gag 24-7
- Complaining about the freezing courtroom
- Falling asleep in court
- All the above

“Some Republicans are Democrats … but no Democrats are Republicans.” — Dan Bongino
One strategic advantage that America has vi-a-vis China and Russia is our two-party system. These latter two adversaries’ single parties make policy mistakes and live with them until the bitter end. Whereas, our competing parties are constantly probing the other’s weak policies … and … hopefully … win office to correct them.
But, not always.
