The talk-show host Mark Simone thinks that Trump will win NY. And see here for some indication of that level of support: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bronx Residents Excited for Trump Rally, Fed Up With Biden Donald Trump held a historic rally in South Bronx, New York, and many residents— even some Democrats — were excited for the GOP candidate to show up. "Fox & Friends Weekend" co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy, before the rally, talked to a number of Bronx residents who are fed up with Joe Biden and Democrats in general. Feeling used and abused, the residents are remembering how much better life was under Trump and looking for alternatives to the Democrats who have so long controlled New York. Trump's Bronx rally could win him more New York support, including from black and Hispanic voters.

Scintillating Thursday repartee, yawn man. (Bad absent Asia! Bad, BAD absent ABSENT Asia!) ------------ Thrilling Thursday report, see man: Went to Costco for Many (2+1) items and returned with Many (2+2+1), controlled impulses we man. Breakfast/lunch/din-din (at 2 p.m.) was Olive Garden's chicken parmesan lunch special, ingest we man. Since last time, the rats had raised the price by half a buck, man! A nice siesta was subsequently had, zzz we man. Mini-B.'s last day of skool was today, made it wee man man. We think that he passed all of his classes, minor miracle man. He is already pestering us to buy him another video game, persistent wee man. Two Guys eve will be Friday, Two Guys man. We noticed that the rake of miu's self-cleaning box was stuck in the middle, oh great man. Furthermore, the warning light wasn't flashing, all apparently normal man. We could not get the rake to budge, follow sparse "troubleshooting" instructions we man. An intense web-search and long call with Chewy.com yielded no replacement box, man. We managed to coax the rake to move back almost to starting position, trial-and-error man. We can't call the manufacturer till morning, man. And why does its website list "where to buy" when no more are to be bought, huh and man? We have itineraried 2 GSs and Many (2+2+1) ESs for Friday, long drive to first one man. No party with the rubias tonight, traumatized from miu-box debacle we man.

He should have held it for ransom, or at least pawned it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zoo Chimpanzee Delights Visitors by Expertly Tossing Back Sandal That Fell into His Enclosure Dong Dong the chimpanzee doesn't believe in the adage "finders, keepers." The compassionate chimpanzee resides at Shendiao Mountain Wildlife Park in China's Shandong Province, according to Newsflare. On May 13, a visitor to the zoo stopped by the chimpanzee exhibit and accidentally dropped their sandal in the habitat while viewing the animals. After the footwear landed in the primates' enclosure, Dong Dong approached the shoe and picked it up. The animal then started playing with the surprise gift, much to the dismay of the shoe's owner.

Just How Bad Was Cohen's Performance -- And Merchan's? the scope of Cohen's dishonesty in this testimony is simply breathtaking. It isn't just the embezzlement to which he admitted under pressure, either. Cohen repeatedly and consistently misrepresents himself on nearly every aspect of his testimony, especially regarding his relationship with Trump. Blanche patiently boxes him in every time, usually with Cohen's own e-mails and public statements. The press largely ignored just how comprehensively Blanche planned and executed this cross-examination. Even worse, the media tried to make Cohen's admission of embezzlement into some kind of evidence of his honesty. You have to deliberately ignore everything else that happened in Monday's testimony to sell Cohen as a truth-teller, as you'll see when watching the video.

The families of those still held by the terrorists that Norway, Ireland, and Spain just endorsed released previously unseen video taken by Hamas on October 7 showing abducted Israeli women among corpses of other hostages. The families released the video in hopes of restarting negotiations for their release.

I was inside the court when the judge closed the Trump trial, what I saw shocked me: Alan Dershowitz [...] in my 60 years as a lawyer and law professor, I have never seen a spectacle such as the one I observed sitting in the front row of the courthouse yesterday. The judge in Donald Trump's trial was an absolute tyrant, though he appeared to the jury to be a benevolent despot. He seemed automatically to be ruling against the defendant at every turn. Many experienced lawyers raised their eyebrows when the judge excluded obviously relevant evidence when offered by the defense, while including irrelevant evidence offered by the prosecution.
