Charges Against Stormy Daniels Dropped On Technicality Amid Human Trafficking Investigation

by Tyler Durden

Thu, 07/12/2018 - 14:02

Charges against Stormy Daniels have been dropped on a technicality following her early Thursday arrest at an Ohio strip club as part of a human trafficking and prostitution sting.


Daniels was observed using her bare breasts to smack patrons, as well as grab the breasts of female patrons, according to the arrest report.

At approximately 11:30 a dancer using the stage name Stormy Daniels, later identified as Stephanie Clifford made her way to the main stage and began performing. The majority of the patrons got up from their tables and stood immediately adjacent to the stage throwing dollar bills at Ms. Clifford. During her performance after removing her top exposing her breasts she began forcing the faces of patrons into her chest and using her bare breasts to smack the patrons. The officers observed Ms. Clifford fondling the breasts of female patrons....
...Ms. Clifford leaned over, grabbed Det. Keckley's head and began smacking her face with her bare breasts and holding her face between her breasts and against her chest. Ms. Clifford then made her way over to Det. Lancaster and performed the same acts on him forcing his face into her chest between her breasts and began smacking his face with her bare breasts."

You can read the police report below in its entirety.
Fortunately for Stormy (real name Stephanie Clifford), she was arrested under a law that requires "regular" performances, while she had only performed once at the Sirens Gentlemen's club. That said, she was scheduled to perform Thursday night as well - meaning that had the Columbus PD charged her after her second performance at the club, the charges might have stuck.

Case retiree company insurance loss finally happens Aug. 31

But the retired Public Employees of Racine and Racine County are allowed to continue LOOTING the taxpayers who are brave enough to remain! A number of J.I. Case Co. retirees will soon see their company-paid health insurance benefits end following a Supreme Court decision made earlier this year. In late June, a large segment of former J.I. Case Co. employees represented by the UAW received a letter informing them that the health insurance provided as part of their retiree benefits will expire Aug. 31. It was the culmination of more than two decades of high-stakes legal wrangling that affects retirees who left the company between July 1, 1994, and April 1, 2005, and surviving spouses of that same group. Those retirees will be able to elect new coverage that will come with higher deductibles, but which CNH Industrial, the present incarnation of the company, says is “similar in many ways to current UAW retiree benefits and cost structure.” New coverage would begin on Sept. 1. https://www.racinecountyeye.com/case-retiree-company-insurance-loss-finally-happens-aug-31/

MOAR FOXCONN SCAM-O-RAMA!

A Better Mt. Pleasant: https://www.facebook.com/abettermtpleasant/ 
While the story in today's JT about the guy who scored the first 
Foxconn license plate is awfully cute, this one is perhaps a bit more 
relevant to people in our community. 
 
(Again, JT Publisher Mark Lewis sits on the boards of both RAMAC and 
RCEDC - not exactly well positioned to be the least bit critical of 
the deal.) 
 
How many times were we told 13,000 jobs with an average salary of $53k 
per year? So many times, it HAS to be true, right? 
 
A couple things to know: 
 
1. The state originally wanted to cap the salaries to be averaged at 
$100,000. Foxconn wanted no cap at all - all salaries would get 
averaged. 
 
The state offered $200,000, and then $250,000, and ultimately caved at 
$400,000. The high paying jobs skew the average - a lot. 
 
With a $100,000 cap to average - Foxconn could pay 65% of its workers 
$30,000 per year and still make its average salary commitment. 
 
A $400,00 cap to average means Foxconn can pay 93% of its workers 
$30,000 per year and still make its average salary commitment. 
 
A living wage for a family of 3 in Wisconsin is $59,675. 
 
2. The legendary 13,000 jobs? Well, that's a potential number - as in 
some day they may hire up to 13,000 people. 
 
As for the initial 3,000 jobs - the expected 500 employees in 
Milwaukee and 200 employees in Green Bay count towards that number. 
 
Mt. Pleasant is down to 2,300 jobs, but still on the hook for a $860 
million TID. 
 
2,300 is a fine number, however Amazon employs 3,000 full time and 
5000 part time workers - when they can find them - and it didn't cost 
us a dime. 
 
3. Mt. Pleasant is scheduled to go back for another round of 
borrowing. No worries, this time will only be for around $20 million.

Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my baked potatoes!  How are you?  Well done? Get ready for another short burst of heat after today.  More mirages.  In the heavy heat, I'll only work out of my home or the home of another with a/c. That heat and humidity were oppressive.  It slows me down.

Did you see that post by Mr Clint Teeters?  He was in court recently to defend himself against charges of pornography.  They decided that he just looks pornographic.  They put him in jail, "for his own good."

If we have artificial intelligence, do we also get artificial mood swings and depression?  AI will mean the end of mankind, except, perhaps, in some lonely outposts.  That's where the resistance will start.  We must smash AI.

Hey, a personal friend of Mr Mayor Cory Mason got appointed to the job of Mason's assistant.  Not a whisper from anyone other than the folks at Talking Racine.  It's good to be king.

I believe that Mr Mayor Cory Mason believes that if he keeps on smiling and unveiling worthless programs, that he'll go to heaven.  To hell with the rest of is.

"When you get out there, everything else melts away," said Milwaukee relief pitcher Gus Tareyton.  We need his laser-like focus on the truth.

There's enough slippery palms in City Hall.  And enough is too much.

What's going on with Machinery Row?  Remember when they announced the project?  They had a table and microphonr set up so that local heavyweights could weigh in on the subject.  Mr. Ex-Mayor Lying John was in his element then.  He was great at announcing projects.  Too bad that few of them got done.

I heard that someone was interested in the Porter's property but they want the whole block, displacing the Unitarian church.  If they can find an empty church to put the Unitarians in, we might see some action on this parcel.

I'm cutting it short.  I'm running late and have a million things to do.  Thank you for reading my blog.  Tell your friends,  I can use the increase in my sales base.

It's supposed to be cooler today, but sunny.  Then we get back into the hyper-high temperatures.  Oh boy.  I can hardly wait.

Happy Hump Day!

"Wild Blue Wander"

From The Shepherd Express:

by Art Kumbalek

Jun. 26, 2018

3:50 p.m.

I’m Art Kumbalek and man oh man manischewitz what a world, ain’a? So listen, I was up all night the other night wondering where the sun had gone…then it dawned on me. Ba-ding!

I was also wondering if any of you’s are getting in line to sign up for Trumpel-thinskin’s Space Force. After all, one would be wise to take the words of the late, great Sun Ra to heart, that “space is the place,” you betcha.
I also wonder if, as a member of the Space Force, one might be required to go toe-to-toe with some aliens on occasion, which actually might be justified ’cause I’m guessing that these aliens wouldn’t be from a different country but from a whole ’nother planet come to tear us Earthlings a new one, what the fock.
Anyways, I’ve got not much to say and you’re all too busy swatting mosquitoes and cranking up the AC to read, anyways; so, looks like we’ve come down with a case of synchronicity, ain’a?
But do let me declare that this would not be a late June “Art For Art’s Sake” expedition if I did not lodge a perennially annual complaint, which goes like this:
I don’t know what it is about this time of year, but it seems every time I turn around these days it’s that time of year again, I kid you not. Cripes, and now it’s that Summerfest time, again, and listen (and don’t stop me if you’ve heard this one before ’cause we don’t have time): After all these years when it comes to this time of year, if you even begin to wonder if I have any gas left to pass through another essay on that annual musical racket down there by our lakefront—the answer is abso-focking-lutely “yes.” Of course I do.
The gas might be a tad overripe, but it smells like this: I’ve pored over, under, sideways, down through all the big gig guides and lists and brochures and pamphlets and…HEY! Know what? I think the people in charge of that shebang have gone deaf from all that LOUD ROCK GUITAR MUSIC HELLABALOO they got all the time down there, I kid you not.
I think those people have gone to deaf because each and every year, simply as a professional courtesy, I keep asking a’loudly over and over for two simple things at the grounds in the Summerfest: A TOPLESS TENT and a BOURBON TENT—like it would really kill the hippies who run that fest-joint to have a little something for which the common man to enjoy himself by. It may come as an unexpected thunderclap to some, but we’ve been known to drop a couple, three bucks here and there, now and then, for entertainment purposes, what the fock. Thank you for your attention.
And now something for you conspiracy theorists, ’cause I know you’re out there:
I was watching the RCA color TV on June 5, 1968. I was 17 and soon to be grudgingly tossed a diploma from Our Lady In Pain That You Kids Are Going Straight To Hell But Not Soon Enough so’s I could go out into the wild blue yonder and fight for truth, justice and the American way (such as it was). On came the fan-focking-tastic news that RFK had won the California Democratic primary, and had I been a hotshot soothsayer I would’ve forecast that this meant no Richard Nixon, no Ronald Reagan, no Bushes, no President Orange Circus Peanut. Hallelujah.
And then came the news that June 5 late, late evening that Bobby Kennedy, my guy, had been shot dead by a guy with two first names, or two last names, or what the fock.
And I’ve always wondered how come there was never a Warren Commission kind of commission to finger a conspiracy that knocked off Robert Kennedy. If they would’ve had one, I bet you a buck two-eighty they would’ve found Dick Nixon hooked up to his elbows in that steampile, abso-focking-lutely. Nixon hated the Kennedys anyways, plus he knew that RFK would’ve cleaned his clock but good in ’68.
So Nixon was elevated to the peak of power through the itchy finger of a wet-behind-the-ears immigrant from focking Jordan, some kind of weasel fockstick with two first names—Sirhan Sirhan. Wait. Two last names? No. The same two names—for christ sakes, what the fock, ain’a?
Nixon had Bobby K taken out all right, and I can prove it. Take the name “Nixon”—switch the vowels around (that’s the “i” and the “o,” for the homeschooled in the audience) then spell the name backward. What do you get? Focking “Nixon,” that’s what. Now take “Sirhan Sirhan” and switch the names around. What do you get? Enough said.
Genug ist genug, ain’a? But before I go, a sample test question for entrance exam into Trump’s Space Force: Q. What should you do if you see a green alien? A. Wait until it’s ripe. Ba-ding! ’cause I’m Art Kumbalek and I told you so.

"Racine Lieutenant under investigation, accused of stealing from dead man"

A man who took an oath to serve and protect is accused of stealing money from a dead man.

Lieutenant Chad Schulman with the Racine County Sheriff's Office is under investigation. Walworth County District Attorney Zeke Weidenfeld is looking into these allegations and he says evidence shows Schulman lied about some money that went missing from a crime scene.

In a letter to Racine County officials, Weidenfeld says evidence Schulman had the money before it was placed in evidence and logged.

Officials say this happened on Oct. 24, 2017. The letter says Schulman was interviewed twice and denied stealing any money from the scene.

Schulman allegedly claimed to have been called by the medical examiner when the medical examiner arrived on the scene but the letter says that statement was later shown to be false by phone records.

In a second interview, the letter says Schulman denied speaking with the Medical Examiner.

Schulman also said he took the money from an investigator because he was wearing gloves and the investigator wasn't but the letter says that was also shown to be false as photographs taken at the scene show the investigator wearing a glove.

These were the only statements Weidenfeld identified as false but he adds there are other potentially untruthful statements contained throughout the reports.

Monday, Racine County Sheriff Chris Schmaling wasn't available for an on-camera interview but he sent TODAY’S TMJ 4 a statement which reads in part:

“This situation, in no way reflects the hard work and dedication of the men and women of the Racine Co. Sheriff's Office who put their lives on the line each day in the interest of public safety.”

The DA also says this could call into question any case Schulman has worked on.

"Stormy Daniels Blows Off Migrant Children At Border, Instead Finds Time To Strip For Cash"

In the two weeks since Stormy Daniels pledged to visit migrant children housed at the border following Melania Trump's June 21 trip to McAllen Texas, the adult film star appears to have blown the kids off - instead stripping for cash at nine clubs around the country while the children suffer. 

No word on when she plans to visit those children, though she did make $75,000 during a single night in Vegas in January - so maybe she's saving up for gift baskets before she embarks on her Mother Teresa mission to kiss the feet of the unwashed.
Stormy did however fire off a Saturday tweet to signal her virtue - writing "The children detained at the border have families who love them and want them back. Let's reunite them so the resources being wasted can be used to help others in need."

From "A Better Mt. Pleasant"

https://www.facebook.com/abettermtpleasant/

This is an updated re-post from earlier - we wanted to clarify some points. :)

Over the last few weeks, we have watched while the Foxconn deal has changed - from a giant screen facility, requiring Corning to locate here and build a plant in Area 2 - to a smaller screen plant - not in need of a Corning facility.

We also have seen the water usage drop. It was first (probably incorrectly) reported Foxconn would need over 12 million gallons of water, then 7 million, and now 2.5 million gallons.

The amount of water returned to the Racine Wastewater Utility has also drastically changed. With the recently announced ZLD system - it is possible that little to no water will be treated by Racine.

Deals change, but the deal for a big screen plant and 7 million gallons of water was the one local officials agreed to.

The Racine Water Utility makes money in water. Selling and treating water. When Foxconn was announced, the deal for them in selling and treating water was a miracle. That revenue would lower water charges and build capacity and infrastructure for years to come - all on Foxconn's dime.

Now? Not so much. In talking with a person who served on the wastewater commission - they estimate the difference between the original deal the city signed and what they have now will cost the Racine Water Utility approximately a billion dollars over the next 25 years. That means no relief for water bills for anyone in the area.

It also means that instead of being able to monitor what effluent Foxconn puts out - the discharge will sit in tanks in Mt. Pleasant - doing who knows what.

Do you really think Foxconn didn't know about ZLD systems last year? Do you really think they got the water usage so critically wrong OR did they paint an extremely profitable picture to get a deal signed?

Dispossessed in the Midwest

Dear Village Board,

For your review, from The Progressive:

The Operation: Shake the Ground! protest opposing a new Foxconn factory in Wisconsin was a spectacle of resistance and solidarity against corporate invasion.

"They stole people’s houses to build TV screens!”
(but NOT Village President David DeGroots!)
Remarks like these––reflecting anguish, resentment, and disbelief––filled the momentary pauses between speakers’ remarks at the Smolenski Park rally.
Kelly Gallaher, director of operations for A Better Mt. Pleasant, spoke of the government’s use of “shock-and-awe” tactics against Mt. Pleasant residents––an assault strategy that minimizes resistance through speed and disorientation.
“Fifty-seven days after the proposed Foxconn site had been announced, the village board approved the development agreement, conducted completely in closed session and without input from Mt. Pleasant residents,” she said in a speech. “Fifty-seven days to rush through the largest, most expensive development project in the United States. The town’s bakery took longer to approve than that.”
Resident Kim Mahoney spoke on behalf of homeowners whose properties had been wrested from them under the pretense of eminent domain.
“What’s at risk here is private property rights,” said Mahoney. “If the Village of Mt. Pleasant is allowed to bully and intimidate its residents for the benefit of a private, wealthy corporation, then the government could take your property any time it wants.”
After the rally, the protest took to the streets in a mile-long procession from Smolenski Park to the Mt. Pleasant Village Hall. The march was led by three Native American delegates, followed closely by Mt. Pleasant locals bearing a sign: “OUR LAKES FOXCONNED.”
Native Americans stood alongside white property owners in a united front against corporate invasion.
The irony was not lost on Marin Denning, indigenous activist and lecturer at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. In an impassioned speech at the Village Hall, he said, “You all standing out there have to ask yourselves the same question now that my ancestors did a hundred years ago, when they looked out across these lands that had been taken from them: Who is in charge here?”
“The politics of Walker and Ryan and Trump are all cut from the same cloth,” Christine Neumann-Ortíz, a delegate from Voces de la Frontera, said at the Village Hall. “They have built their careers on dividing one group against another, blaming immigrants, blaming refugees, blaming teachers, blaming the unemployed, while they give more money to the rich, and the poor get poorer, and the Wisconsin middle class erodes.”
As for next steps, the residents of Mt. Pleasant intend to build off the momentum of the protests. “We’re continuing what we’re doing in terms of asking questions, keeping the heat on the village board, and looking towards the next election,” Gallaher says. “If we’re not getting accountability and transparency from this board, then we’ll elect people who will give us those things.”

Las Vegas & Tesla

Dear County Board,

Please be sure to read this article by the Guardian which concerns Las Vegas and their gamble with the Tesla Battery mega-factory. There is no reason to believe that Racine Counties experience with Foxconn will be any different. County Executive Jonathan Delagrave can continue to cheer-lead for the Foxconn turd which will flush SE WI into a never ending cycle of tax increases and eventually bankruptcy - which only buys time.

Already, Foxconn is scaling back, local Police Departments are demanding increases in personnel & spending, and the agreed upon set of lies by Politicians -  the patently false claim of 13,000 jobs paying $53,000 is revolting to those who have any sort of critical thinking skills.

Murphy’s Law

Is Foxconn Double Crossing Walker?

Latest admission by company gives the game away.

By Bruce Murphy - Jul 3rd, 2018 10:42 am 

Foxconn chairman Terry Gou and Governor Scott Walker signing a memorandum of understanding. Photo from the State of Wisconsin.

Back on May 23 the Nikkei Asian Review did a story citing industry sources who said Foxconn was going to scale back its plans for Racine County and would not build the kind of plant it promised the administration of Gov. Scott Walker. 

Oh no, said Foxconn officials, quickly releasing a statement denying the story: “Foxconn can categorically state that our commitment to create 13,000 jobs and to invest US$10 billion to build our state-of-the-art Wisconn Valley Science and Technology Park in Wisconsin remains unchanged,” the company said, as a story in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel assured its readers.

But others in the media did some investigating and found the story was true. As Arthur Thomas reported for the Biz Times on June 20th: “The first LCD fabrication facility on the Foxconn Technology Group campus in Mount Pleasant will be a Gen 6 plant, not a Gen 10.5 plant as originally planned.”

This is not a small change. Bob O’Brien, a partner at Display Supply Chain Consultants, told the publication a Gen 6 plant produces roughly 5 foot by 6 foot glass panels “while a Gen 10.5 plant produces 10 foot by 11 foot panels. He also said a $10 billion investment makes sense for a Gen 10.5 plant, but a Gen 6 plant would require a $2 billion to $3 billion investment.”

Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my loved ones!  How are you?  Happy 4th of July!  Woot!  Woot!  Stars and stripes forever!  Don't miss the big parade, interspersed with lying politicians and others of the egg-sucking ilk who look to get rich off of your tax dollars.  Will Foxconn have a float?  Will we have to pay them for it and then build it for them?  How about a huge toilet flushing down more of our money?  How about a float for the taxpayers?  It would be barren except for a rope tied to the end and dragging along Mr Taxpayer by the neck.  Oh my.

How about this weather?  When it gets into the 90s and above, I just hide in my home with the shades drawn and the blinds closed.  I curse the heat and try another spell, but nothing works.  Mother Nature where are you?  If you aren't coming back, send us a trainee.  We'll watch over him or her.  Just get the temperature down into the 80s at the highest, and normally in the 70s.  Ahhh.  Wouldn't that be wonderful?  It's supposed to cool down for a few days, but a week from now we'll be pushing 90 again.  It never ends.

Like the news.  Always negative.  Blaring murder death at us all day long.  No one is even interested in good news anymore.  We assume the worst and often we get it. "If it bleeds, it leads."  We all love others' dirty laundry.  The dirtier, the better.  Gossip, rumour, and scandal.  Even the National Enquirer aspires to general acceptance.  That badger really did steal that truck, buy a case of beer, and partied all night in your trash cans.  If it's online, then it must be true.

I stumbled across a piece of history the other day while searching for something on YouTube.  Ever hear of Sister Rosetta Tharpe?  She was a mean proto-rocker doing the Lord's work.  Elvis Presley and  Jerry Lee Lewis studied her moves.  Without further ado, here she is:



I would think that Sister Tharpe would scare the hell out of most people.  She played like Robert Johnson while singing to the Lord.  Hallelujah!

Of course, Robert Johnson was pre-electrification.  That had to wait for Les Paul to create the electric guitar. If Johnson suspected an audience member was learning his licks, he would turn his back to the audience.  You'd have to forgive him - he played two parts with his right hand.

Enough with the guitar history.  Congratulations to Mr. OrbsCorbs on his reent biopsy result: no cancer.  Remember what I told you: they don't know what to do with someone with abnormal body chemistry.  Let them play their games, then tell you what you already know: your chemistry is screwed up.  Yup, it certainly is, yet you operate quite well, so please don't mess with it.  Mr. OC's primary care physician has given up on knocking down his blood pressure any further.  He says, "Maybe 140 over 60 is 'normal' for you."  C'mon, you've been his patient for over 25 years.  When did blood pressure norms change?

Thank you, my dears, so much for reading my blog today.  I know it's a holiday and you're probably quite busy, so thank you for taking the time to check me out.  I love you all.  Yes, I do.  And I'm grateful that you follow my blogs.

madamezoltar@jtirregulars.com

Enjoy the weather if you can.  Some days will be quite warm while others will be cool.  Get out there and get some sun and fun.  Six months from now, we'll be craving some heat.  So enjoy it while we have it.

"You Won't Be My Neighbor"

From The Shepherd Express:

by Art Kumbalek

Jul. 03, 2018

1:14 p.m.

I’m Art Kumbalek and man oh man manischewitz what a world, ain’a? So listen, I hear that the shebang down by the lake is faring finely, but I got to say that for an old fart like myself, Summerfest might be OK to visit if there wasn’t so much rackety music everywhere all the time. I stopped shining around the joint ever since they got rid of the Midway activities years ago. That was the only area worth perusing because it was educational. How often does one get to see mummies with shrunken heads, or alligator boy? Not often enough.

Used to be the attractions of the Midway were the only thing for the family to enjoy down there. Dad could attempt to toss a 10-inch basketball through a 2-inch hoop and drop ten bucks on a 79-cent felt rodent while the kids could scramble their gray matter on amusing rides always well-maintained and operated by the finest staff of tattooed, toothless safety experts this side of a halfway house for biker Nazis from hell, what the fock.
Anyways, I’m a little too busy to whip out a regular essay here since I am presently blowing the dust and cobwebs off my résumé, such as it is, ’cause I abso-focking-lutely would like to grab that vacant seat on the Supreme Court, you betcha. Pays $250 grand each and every year with plenty of time off, plus you get to wear a robe to work. Sign me up. Cripes, I’d like to be the Hugh Hefner of the court—show up in a swanky silk robe, a nice bourbon Manhattan in one hand, the other around the waist of my latest squeeze. Could be a sweet gig to swing the gavel, I kid you not.
Of course, I’d need Trumpel-thinskin to give me the high sign to get on the court, which could prove a bit problematic since we don’t exactly see eye-to-eye on, say, anything. Especially that immigration bug he’s got lodged up his fat ass sideways, what the fock. He’s like the Bizarro Mr. Rogers when it comes to the huddled masses, ain’a? “No way, José. You won’t be my neighbor.” What a complete fockstick that guy is. (Think he’d invite the Russian soccer squad to the White House if they win the World Cup? Bet on it.)
On the other hand, he could take a gander at the orange topgear I wear and be bamboozled into thinking I’m trying to emulate his hirsute style and take it as a compliment. But the bottom line is that I am as equally qualified to be a Supreme Court justice as the Orange Circus Peanut is to be president of the United States, so what the fock, what a world.
And I’m hearing a load of yakety yak about how a reconfigured Trumpenstein Supreme Court would take a hard look at Roe v. Wade, which I thought was settled law for christ sakes. Hey, how long does this focking abortion uproar have to linger like hell’s hangover anyways, huh? Is there some compromise that could be had here? Theoretically personally speaking, when I figure the cost of an abortion I might have to chip in on versus 18 years’ worth of youthful gym sneakers, I light a votive for Harry Blackmun.
Yeah, whatever did happen to compromise anyways, I’d like to focking know. It could mean the best of both possible worlds: Abortion, OK, but maybe not according to the druthers of your most ideal time; so maybe instead of a second trimester thing, you’d wait ’til about the fifty-focking-second trimester, like when the kid’s about 13 and gives you some sass talk. Sure, that may seem late in the pregnancy to your average right-to-lifer who curiously is often gung-ho on the death penalty, so you could placate them by agreeing to meet them halfway and let them execute young shoplifters and masturbators at around the age of 13, or something like that.
People these days in all three branches of government have got to learn to compromise, like that great old American statesman Henry Clay. In Whitefish focking Bay, they even named a street after his butt. Nobody remembers what political party he belonged to, but party and Whitefish Bay don’t seem to go together anyways, so what the fock.
So in conclusion, in the event that my essays may be used in some kind of school-age summertime remedial reading program, here’s a little riddle the youngsters might enjoy: What’s green and hangs on trees? Give up? Giraffe snot.
Ba-ding-ding-ding! ’cause I’m Art Kumbalek and I told you so.

Oops.

"Tired of political posts?"

There you go.

The State is HATE

Koenig's Bar is most famous for its pizza, which La Verle made in her own kitchen at her house, connected to the bar.
So, why is she choosing to retire? An inspector with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection had told La Verle that she needed to upgrade all her equipment for preparing food, and no longer prepare that food in her home kitchen, along with other upgrades to facilities.
"They wanted me to put a little pizza oven on the back bar and sell frozen pizzas instead of homemade," she said. "Well, people don't want frozen pizzas, they want the homemade pizza."
She says it would have cost her about $30,000 to make all the changes, so at 81, she has decided to call it a day.

Good morning everyone I hope you had a good week. I hope you are staying inside someplace that is nice and cool with the hot humid weather we are having. Here are your questions.

1) When you were growing up and it was warm out did you have a.c. or fans?

2) When you were growing up did you go swimming in a pool or lake?

3) When you were growing up did you get to go out in the hot weather and play?

4) When you were growing up what time was the latest you had to be home by?

I wonder what they mean by "The Google Team."  Do they wear uniforms and helmets and play against other teams?  Or is it them against the world? 

I assume there are hundreds of violations of the DMCA in the JT Irregulars, if not thousands.  I couldn't begin to track them all down. 

Mike Piontek's OxyContin Bottle

Found at the gas station by the zoo's entrance.  There were three or four left inside.

I've never had OxyContin, but it's supposed to be the ultimate in painkillers, the number one abused narcotic.  One tablet every four hours, and a 120 count fill, seem a bit excessive to me, but you have to build your tolerance up to that level.

So, how many Mike Pionteks are in Racine?

Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello my do's and don'ts!  How are you?  Have you bought a boat yet?  Soon, it will be the only way to get around town.  My boys have more or less given up on the gardens.  They're a mushy mess.  Junior finally planted some tomatoes and they look sad and soaked.  How do our farmers deal with this?  Do I need to purchase a Case tractor to navigate my yard?  Maybe I'll just get a houseboat.  Living on the water - toot, toot!  Just throw the dirty dishwater out the window.  Just jump into the water to cool off.  Do I need a license?  "Tugboat Madame Zoltar."

Hey, isn't that something how Roseanne Barr got her ass handed to her for her racist tweet - her series was cancelled. Unfortunately, this also affects everyone else attached to the show.  I understand there's a groundswell for The Conners, a spin-off without Roseanne.  Why do rich, entitled pigs like her feel that they can pee on us?  If I was making that kind of money, I would just keep my mouth shut and do as I'm told.  I think most people could manage that, but Hollywood is full of punks and weirdos who feel the need to inflict on us their political leanings.  Idiots. (Btw, Jerry Seinfeld didn't see why it was necessary to fire Roseanne.  Good, he can pick up the production costs of her new series: Fat, Stupid Comic Yelling At You.)

Confidential to Mr OC: one article talks about it being a slow-growing, easy-to-beat cancer while another states that it is the 2nfd leading cause of cancer deaths among men.  But you don't even know if you have cancer.  You'll find out Friday.  Take it one day at a time.  Your body chemistry is so screwed up that the MD's can't figure it out.  You're operating under your own set of principles.

Local news: https://journaltimes.com/news/local/machinery-row-lawsuits-refiled/article_0d4edda3-c31b-57cc-8806-9e6815cc40f0.html  Machinery Row Lawsuits Refiled.  Is anyone surprised?  Note how lying John beat it out of the city just as all the "collateral damage" of his schemes came home to roost.I'm surprised no one has taken a shot at him yet.  Thief, conman extraordinaire.  He bilked the city out of millions and then deserted us.  Oink, oink.  Slaughter the swine.

"Robbery Reportewd at Downtown Johnson Bank."  Uh-oh.  Don't mess with the Johnsons.  They can tie up court proceedings so that you'll spend 10 years in jail just waiting to get into court.  That downtown building makes me feel uncomfortable.  The few times I've been in there, I came close to suffering anxiety attacks.  I think it's the nearness of so much blood money.

Can this new mayor restore the streetlights that were removed during lying John's administration?  That would be a definite move against crime.  Then again, Mr. Mason may only  pay lip service to minorities living in the city.  Restore the lights now!  Lying John's hatred of minorities is legendary.  Please don't extend it.  We already have enough to close the gap with minorities.  Turn the lights back on.

Our police need body cams to protect both the arrested and the arrestee.  Instead, we get a new management study of the cops.  Boy, that's money well spent.  I could duplicate the management report for les than half the time and money.  But they don't want the truth.  They want whatever will prolong the game playing.

Well, kids, I hope this blog was interesting.  Thank you for reading it.  The more the merrrier.

It's supposed to warm up in the next few days, with the next chance of rain on Sunday.  Enjoy.
