Floored
From pinterest.com, posted by JoAnn Lewis:
Headline from nypost.com out of Miami: “Former Knicks star graduates police academy, becomes officer.” Hall of Famer Amare Stoudemire. Good luck, Sir, and Kudos.
Not surprising. From NYP: “Major banks closed accounts of MAGA, pro-life and other conservative groups disfavored by Biden admin: bombshell report.” Can you say “fines,” boys and girls? And this: “Ex-special counsel Jack Smith obtained personal info on 639K Republicans — including red MAGA hat buyers.”
From NYP: “Whisked out: Manhattan’s only whiskey distiller shutters as US alcohol consumption hits record lows.” I wonder what’s behind the plunge. Not enough discretionary income? Other forms of intoxication? Embrace of healthy lifestyle?
No end in sight. From NYP: “Young Russian men get shipped off as Putin prepares to draft 120,000 troops.” Fodder for Mad Vlad.

Headline from foxnews.com: “Trump overrules Pentagon on plans to livestream execution of convicted mass killer.” Thank you, Sir.
Gas at the local BP has declined a dime to $4.40 a gallon. Still a long way to go and it won’t get even remotely close to par by Election Day.
From pinterest.com & The Pink Pigs Gifts & Jewelry for Animal Lovers:
Another beautiful, breezy day at the Anti-Inflation Book Shop. My thanks to the woman who bought Everything’s Eventual by Stephen King, and to the one who purchased Pure Drivel by Steve Martin; and to Herbie, who took home All He Ever Wanted by Anita Shreve and From a Buick 8 by Stephen King; and to the woman who selected a hardcover in Russky… The highlight of the session occurred when Eddie, a lifelong Democrat in his 80s, touted Republican Bruce Blakeman in the NY gubernatorial race. He then floored me by revealing he’d voted for Trump in ’24. Maybe there’s hope for the midterms after all.
