SOME REALLY NEAT SHOES

I ordered them. Gotta have some fun before I croak.

GOV. NEWSOM WAS CORRECT WHEN HE CALLED THE SWARM OF FEDERAL AGENTS OUTSIDE OF WHERE HE WAS SPEAKING AN ACT OF INTIMIDATION

By Howie Katz

 

Dozens of federal agents showed up on the street outside the venue where California Governor Gavin Newsom spoke to a rally about redrawing California's congressional maps, August 14, 2025.

 

 

Dozens of federal agents showed up out side the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles on Thursday where Gov. Gavin Newsom was addressing a rally about redrawing California's congressional districts map.

 

The swarm of agents went on to apprehend one poor slob who was peddling strawberries.

 

 

The swarm of federal agents apprehended only one man. He was peddling strawberries near the building where Newsom was speaking.

 

 

Dozens of agents arresting one man? What a colossal waste of money and manpower. Is that what Trump means when he talks about draining the swamp 

 

Newsom's rally was held in response to Gov. Greg Abott's attempt to redistrict Texas so that Trump would get five additional Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives.  

 

 

Newsom told the crowd at the rally that he was not going to be intimidated by Trumps show of force. 

 

Newsom was spot on. The swarm of agents when he was speaking was no coincidence.  This was clearly a deliberate act of intimidation..

And such nonsense is making a farce of the immigration issue. 

Trump should fire the idiots involved in planning and ordering this fiasco.  

HAPPY 137TH BIRTHDAY ..... AND IF YOUR WONDERING, NO, WE'RE NOT RELATED

In August 1888, Katz's humble beginnings started with a small deli storefront on the Lower East Side. Since then, we've proudly served generations of New Yorkers and visitors alike, offering  the same authentic Old-World flavors that have made us a staple of NYC cuisine & deli history. As we celebrate the anniversary of our founding, we want thank you - our loyal fans - for continuing to support our business and helping us to uphold deli traditions for 137 years and counting.    137 years on the corner of Ludlow & E Houston St Pictured above is the same street corner over the decades. Our signage may have gone through a few iterations, but our pastrami & corned beef recipes have remained the same: slow brined, low smoked, and carved by hand.  We're proud to stand the test of time through generations, world wars, and a constantly changing New York City. We’ve served soldiers before they shipped off to fight, welcomed celebrities, hosted countless family celebrations, and become a symbol of classic New York culture. Through it all, our commitment has never changed—serving hand-carved pastrami, corned beef, and other Jewish deli staples the way they were meant to be enjoyed. 137 years later, we’re proud to still be here, slicing, stacking, and serving memories one sandwich at a time.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FLEE FROM KRISTI NOEM AND HER ICE AGENTS

 

HEY HOWIE, YOU WANT A RETIREMENT JOB ?

By Bob Walsh

 

ICE has waived the maximum age for entry into federal law enforcement for ICE.  And they will pay a $50k signing bonus or as much as $60k payoff on student loans.  (I expect you don't have a lot of student loan debt for some reason.  I can't imagine why.)  You are a veteran and a retired peace officer.  You can read and write reasonably well.  Looks like a good fit.  You even get along pretty well with dangerous reptiles as I recall.  Might be worth a thought.

 

EDITOR'S NOTE: Will they take me with my walker and can I take my doggie along? 

 

Oh, and by dangerous reptiles you must be referring to the likes of Kristi Noem. 

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BEFORE AND AFTER OBAMA

HAS TRUMP OPENED A PANDORA'S BOX?

By Howie Katz

 

 

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and President Donald Trump 

 

When President Trump called on Gov. Abbott to redistrict the Texas congressional districts, he may have opened a Pandora's box.  Trump wants to add five more Republican members in the House of Representatives to erase the razor-thin margin Republicans enjoy now and the Texas redistricting would do that.

Trump says he's entitled to the additional members because of his huge election victory. Entitled? Stupid is as stupid says. 

Trump's request and Abbott's calling a special session of the state legislature toe redistrict the Texas congressional districts may come back to bite Trump in the ass.

Now California Gov. Gavin Nuisance - oops, that should read Newsom - and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul have threatened to redistrict their respective state congressional districts if Texas redistricts its districts.

If Newsom and Hochul were to do that, the Democrats would gain control of the House even though the Republicans added five additional members.

Right now the Texas redistricting is in limbo because the Democratic members of the state House have fled the state, thereby leaving that chamber without the quorum required to pass any legislation.

The Texas redistricting will eventually come to pas because Abbott can keep calling special sessions of the legislature.  When the redistricting legislation passes, watch out for California and New York.

And that squealing you'll hear is Trump suffering from a sharp pain in his ass.
