Mach 25, 2021--The End End

An increasing number of well read people I know are asking out loud if we are approaching The End.

Note the capitilations. This suggests they are serious and that the End they have in mind is not the end of winter but the End-End.

When I raise a skeptical eyebrow, they ask--

What about the storms in Texas.

What about Covid-19.

And of course what about Donald Trump.

I advise them to think about science (and Zoloft) and forget all the conspiracy theories.

It is then their turn to raise eyebrows and walk away feeling sorry for deluded me. 

Then something happened that almost got me to join them in what I up-to-then thought, following science, was their paranoia. 

In the NCAA March Madness basketball tournament, Oral Roberts "University" knocked off Ohio State (75-72), one of the teams favored to get to the Final Four and perhaps go all the way.

Note the quotation marks. To call Oral Roberts a university is like Kim Jong-un delivering a TED Talk.

But there you go.

The university was founded by and led for decades by an actual Oral Roberts, the charismatic televangelist whose Sunday show was watched by many millions worldwide. Viewers who were only too happy to send him cash came to him seeking cures for everything from quadriplegia to cancer.

"Wheel yourself up to your TVs," he would say, and they did. "Touch the screen and I will touch mine here in Oklahoma. Close your eyes and pray to the lord that he heal you. And He will. Then, throw your walkers and crutches away and stand on your own two feet." And they did. Enough of them to make Oral wealthy.

Wealthy enough to establish a university and eventually a Division One basketball team. The appropiately-named Golden Eagles. They even managed to recruit a few black guys.

I'm thinking this is a genuine miracle. Not just talk about the Apocalypse but to have the spiritual power to lure the Rapture to godforsaken Tulsa, Oklahoma, where big-time basketball is played.

And, I'm  thinking, if all this is true maybe Ted Cruz is the Antichrist.

March 13, 2021--Crazy

As my grandmother used to say: Takka Meshuggah.

Next--Bathrobe and slippers.

Car, cat, tree.

March 9, 2021--Under the bus

People want to know. enquiring minds want to know, where is Ivanka? Where is the vampire, Jared Kushner?

Nowhere to be seen.

Not in Miami where they allegedly bought a condo. Not in Dubai where they may have their money stashed. And most important not at Mar a-Logo where Trump and a few deadenders are planning the  Restoration. 

But you've come to the right place since I know where the ex-senior advisors are--under the bus.

I've been predicting that for years--when all else fails Trump will blame even Jared and Ivanka.

Though he still has not admitted that he lost the election Trump is blaming the loss (?) on Jared of the thin blood. Thus, do not expect to see Jared or Ivanka at any Restoration planning sessions.

And with them under the bus expect soon to find the one who most deserves to be there, to whom all the losing accrues--Donald J. Trump. The "former guy."

March 4, 2021--Follow the C.F.O.

For years I've been saying follow the money, the Russians, and the sex and you will get to the truth.

To connect all these dots and more, it is finally time to follow the one who knows more anyone else--the one who has the most beans to spill, the Trump organization's C.F.O. and accountant, Allen Weisselberg, aka, (thanks Mom),Jack Weaselburger.

According to the New York Times, state prosecutors in Manhattan who are investigating the Former Guy and his family business are sharpening their focus on the company’s long-serving chief financial officer, asking witnesses questions about his dealings at the company.

The increased focus on Weaselburger could step up pressure on him to cooperate with the investigation if the prosecutors unearth evidence of wrongdoing on his part. 

He has served as the Trump Organization’s financial gatekeeper for more than two decades (and Trump's father before that) and could be a vital source of information for the government about the inner workings of Trump Inc. 

In recent weeks, the prosecutors working for the Manhattan district attorney, Cy Vance, have been interviewing witnesses who know Weaselburger and have asked at least one witness about his sons, Barry and Jack. If I was Weaselburger this would get my attention.

For this show, I'd splurge on a pair of front-row seats.
