What do the #4 and Lou Gehrig and Donald Trump have in common? Gehrig’s #4 on his uniform was retired, and Trump has 4 indictments against him. Gehrig’s #4 was the first number to be taken out of service, and if the 4 indictments against Trump hold up, he will be the first President to be convicted out of office.
Here we go again folks it’s indictment time. This time it’s Trump, Giuliani and 18 other defendants. 18 is Chai in Hebrew the word for life. Multiples of this number are considered good luck and are often used in gift giving. Could the 18 in this situation mean good luck? Could the 18×2= 36 be considered good luck especially when it it come to gift giving. Oh wait, wrong family. That’s the Biden family with millions of dollars in gifts.
Where is this all going. Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Rudy for both families the madness is on a daily basis. Laptops, schmaptops everybody has something to see except the American people who will be paying the legal bills. Everybody has something they have ‘discovered’ but we see nothing. It’s all simply a case of ‘show me the money!’ But nobody shows us anything. But before you see the money the deals are made.
Who do you think is paying for the housing for the asylum seekers. Their 3 square meals a day. Transportation, clothing you name it our New York City fathers are paying for it all. The folks from Venezuela are getting homemade Venezuelan meals while the folks in homeless shelters get nothing of the such.
We have to step up to the plate and put pressure on our legislators to stop this craziness. They are spending billions of dollars that they should be spending on us on our visitors from abroad.
Briefs:
With 2 weeks left in the swim season, the Board of Health is requiring 14 year olds and younger to have a parent with them when they want to swim in County pools as of August 16. I have no problem with the concept. However, People have pool parties planned. Why did they not do this at the beginning of the swim season? They announced it on July 17 for August 16 start. Could they be doing this because of a shortage of lifeguards at the end of the season?

There is this crazy idea out there that Inhaling marijuana smoke is less dangerous than inhaling cigarette smoke. The studies on marijuana are not as extensive as cigarettes, but with all the states making marijuana legal count on pressure from the public to find the answer to this question.
