TRUMP USED THE SECOND MOST-VULGAR WORD IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE - MOTHERFUCKER

Trump did what many Americans do daily

By Howie Katz

While addressing the California GOP fall convention on Friday, former President Donald Trump was talking about being indicted when he said: 

"What they've done is they've gone after opponents, so that if you become president, or some other job, but if you become president, and you don't like somebody or somebody is beating you by 10, 15, or 20 points, like we're doing with crooked Joe Biden - let's indict the motherfucker."

His remark was met with laughter and applause.

As expected, Democrats were quick to condemn Trump, saying that use of the word was unbecoming and beneath a person seeking the presidency.

Having used the word myself on a number of occasions, I find no fault in Trump's use of it.

And I also found no fault in President Harry Truman when he publicly called columnist Drew Pearson a son of a bitch for having discredited daughter Margaret's piano performance.

RUSSIAN HACKERS CYBERATTACKED MGM RESORTS INTERNATIONAL

MGM was hit by the largest ever resort cyberattack

 

 

Last week's cyberattack devastated MGM Resorts International which includes the Las Vegas Aria, the Bellagio, Luxor, MGM Grand and Mandalay Bay casinos and the MGM Springfield in Massachusetts, MGM National Harbor outside of Washington, D.C., and the Empire City Casino in New York, all of which were affected by the attack. The cyberattack even disabled the electronic key cards to the guest rooms.

This makes it the largest ever resort cyberattack. 

The Russian ransomware group ALPHV, also known as BlackCat, first claimed it attacked MGM. However, that was followed by UNC3944, also known as Scattered Spider, which claimed it was responsible.

While MGM has thus far refused to pay the ransom, the Wall Street Journal reported that some weeks earlier, Caesars Entertainment paid a $30 million ransom to Scattered Spider.

Since the ransomware groups are based in Russia, the hackers cannot be brought to justice.

TODAY IS 9/11 REMEMBRANCE DAY

There are certain events that should always be remembered and never forgotten. The September 11, 2001 attacks on the Twin Towers  and the Pentagon is one of those events

The 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon took the lives of nearly 3,000 Americans. Every president since then has participated in 9/11 commemorative ceremonies. Every president, that is except Joe Biden.

Biden is off in Vietnam talking about a John Wayne movie with Indians when babbling about climate change. Biden had been in India attending a G20 summit. Instead of returning home at the end of that meeting to commemorate 9/11, Biden flew off to Vietnam on September 10.

There are four events in my lifetime that I will always remember.

1. Coming to America

In 1936, my parents and I came to America as refugees from Nazi Germany.  I was only nine-plus-years-old, but I will never forget the awesome sight of those skyscrapers as our ship approached New York Harbor.

2. Pearl Harbor

On December 7, 1941, I was in a Marshall, Texas movie theater. Suddenly the movie stopped and the lights came on. The theater manager got up in front of the now blank screen to announce the 'Japs' had bombed Pearl Harbor and sunk some of our battleships. 

3. The assassination of JFK

On November 22, 1963, I was in a meeting of parole agents in Santa Ana, California.  The meeting was interrupted and we were informed that President Kennedy had been shot and believed to be dead. We were then told to go home. 

4. September 11, 2001

On that date, I was a volunteer at the Houston Zoo cleaning out the Orangutan cages. The phone rang and I picked it up. Some guy said that a plane had accidentally hit one of the Twin Towers. After a short pause he said, "Hey, that was no accident, another plane has just hit the other tower."

Unfortunately, as the years go by, those events are forgotten.  That's why it is so important that our presidents commemorate 9/11. The attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon should always be remembered.

And we should also remember that except for the heroics of some brave passengers, another plane would have hit Congress or the White House.  

ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT

How I'd like to get the news in the mornings when I get up.

Those Extras look like very good news.

Make Me Great Again

 

Today former President Trump was arrested, booked and fingerprinted after which he pleaded not guilty in a Miami federal courtroom to 37 counts of mishandling classified documents.

By the way, the investigation of Trump took only five weeks while the investigation of Hunter Biden is still ongoing after five years.

 

                      

Hunter's laptop revealed evidence of wrongdoing, but after five years of investigating him, the president's son has faced no charges

So, whatever happened to equal justice under the law?

Oh yes, one is the no good son of a sitting president while the other is a threat to the reelection of that president.

HENPECKED HARRY TESTIFIES AGAINST HIMSELF

By Howie Katz 

 

 

When Henpecked Harry  showed up in court on Tuesday, he testified that he "isn't sure" if his phone was hacked.

He isn't sure? Good God, he sued the Daily Mirror for hacking into his phone. That's what his case is all about.

And to think Henpecked Harry was 3rd in line for the throne.

THEE TRUE MEANING OF MEMORIAL DAY

Memorial Day Is Not About Family Reunions, A Day At The Beach, Or Spending Time At An Amusement Park

Nowadays, if it were not for the boob tube, most Americans wouldn't know what Memorial Day is about

By Howie Katz

Memorial Day should be a solemn day during which we remember and honor all those who lost their lives fighting for our country, from the Revolutionary War through the war in Afghanistan.  

Unfortunately, nowadays most Americans wouldn't know what Memorial Day was about if it weren't for the boob tube. Instead of honoring the fallen heroes, Americans use this day off from work for family reunions, a day at the beach, or to have a good time at Amusement parks like Disney World. They could care less about those who died so that they could enjoy this and every other day.

Take just one war, World War II. During that war, more than 400,00 American soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen died fighting in the European and Pacific theaters.

One battle is personal for me. Two of my high school friends died fighting on the sands of Iwo Jima. One of them, Freddie Warren, preceded the legendary Y.A. Tittle as quarterback of the Marshall Mavericks football team. Thus, Memorial Day has not been a joyous day for me.

And a word about American POWs. Those who surrendered to the enemy were no less heroes than those who died in combat.

"I like people who weren’t captured." Those were the words of a famous draft dodger. Donald Trump's father paid some doctor to make up a phony diagnosis of bad feet so that his son could avoid serving in the Vietnam War. The audacity of Donald Trump to disrespect POWs when he himself was a cowardly draft dodger shows the man has no shame.

 

American POWs did not choose to be captured. Unlike cowardly draft dodgers like Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, they fought for our country until taken prisoner.  They were often subjected to brutality by their Japanese, Chinese/Korean and Vietnamese captors. Many did not survive to come back home. Those POWs were heroes and should be honored and remembered as such.

 

America today is embroiled in racial animosity, hatred of the police, transgenderism and wokeness. That is not what America's soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen died for. What a shame!

 

I am proud to have served my country during World War II. I know the true meaning of Memorial Day. If you don't, shame, shame on you.
