Dear Congressman - - - - - - :

On the heels of A.G. Bondi’s demeaning and disrespectful World Wrestling Federation-like performance with the House Judiciary Committee last Wednesday, I support any Congressional action that would remove her from her throne at the Justice Department. Clearly, she does not understand the Constitutional relationship that exists between the Legislative and Executive branches.

Impeachment proceedings must begin at once.

Contempt of Congress charges might also be in order.

Regards,

CC: Jim Jordan, Chair, House Judiciary Committee

Thanks. Know that any comment I make that begins with "Dear whomever" is a copy of something actually snail-mailed to whomever whomever is. I encourage others to do the same. [PS: Marz, I suspect is a lab or lab-mix. Her photo this day touched my heart as it reminded me of our late Edward, the innocent - best dog ever. Thanks for sharing the photo.]

I have never checked the Dow for a status check on my finances. The reality of my checkbook after paying mortgage or rent, insurance, healthcare, food, and electricity tells me the pittance I have left to purchase stocks. ZERO!!!!!!

When the dust finally settles on the Trump-Epstein files, Pam Bondi will forever be remembered as the "Shrieking Karen" AG who failed in her duty to protect the victims.

Any thoughts on what work is NOT being done by DOJ, DHS, CIA, FBI with their odd focus and inadequate heads of those departments?

May peace be with you as well and thank you for being a voice of reason in our land of chaos and confusion.

And here is the real truth about the stock markets, they are far more manipulated, rigged, and controlled by Wall Street than almost anyone knows. They are grotesquely manipulated. The hedge funds and banks lie, and steal; and the public pretends it is fair.

Just a really big reason the financial markets don’t reflect the life on Main Street.

I’d leave heart emojis if I could.

PS: The stock market is most definitely not “the economy” - by a long shot. A small number of stocks account for much of its activity. Many major stocks are overvalued. Financial reporters note big investors are moving out of the stock market and hedging against a falling dollar; they apparently believe factors like our soaring national debt, government incompetence, unchecked Trump administration corruption, and destabilizing Trump economic policies (bribery, tariffs, indiscriminate workplace raids…) portend dark times ahead. Private investment vehicles, available mostly to elite investors, now provide a significant chunk of economic activity that used to be in publicly traded stocks and bonds. The means to rig and manipulate markets are growing with technology.

People in the part time, low wage and gig sectors of the economy are a big part of our workforce now. They don’t have 401Ks. Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Small and older investors face risks many can’t afford to take.

Wages aren’t keeping up with costs of basic living. Wealth inequality is exploding. MAGA politicians have abandoned the notion that government has any responsibilities for the health and welfare of the people. This is the real “economy”.

Believe Pam Bondi made her argument to be the ‘Second Attorney General’ to attain the status of serving in prison. Whether it be in “obstruction of justice” or “conspiracy” makes no difference. History doesn’t even remember their names sometimes who were First. The likelihood of the Second person receiving this achievement will be but a footnote in the history books.

First Attorney General: John N. Mitchell, who served as Richard Nixon’s Attorney General from 1969 to 1972, went to federal prison. He was convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury for his role in the Watergate scandal, ultimately serving 19 months behind bars. He was the first U.S. Attorney General to be imprisoned.

Maybe by the time Bondi is disbarred, prosecuted and then sentenced she’ll be able to bunk with Ghislaine Maxwell in that “club-fed” security prison or maybe not.

Today Dubai Ports World CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, whom Jeffrey Epstein thanked in an email for a “torture video,” resigned from his post on Friday. The company announced his replacement in a statement that made no mention of Epstein. 

Even Thorbjorn Jagland—the former prime minister of Norway—faced consequences for his alleged financial ties to Epstein. He had his diplomatic immunity revoked and has been charged with “gross corruption” in Norway. These are perhaps the most direct and tangible consequences for having a relationship with the infamous sexual predator, aside from the now former Prince Andrew, who was essentially booted from the British royal family for his extensive allegations of sexual abuse alongside Epstein.

And yet multiple people within the current Trump administration are in the files—and remain unaffected. 

Let’s just go with all the Admin Officials in the Epstein Files so far that we are aware of:

Donald J. Trump (Top dog-Best Friend)

Melania Trump (3rd wife)

Howard Lutnick (Sec. Commerce)

John Phelan (Sec. Navy)

Paolo Zampolli (Kennedy Center)

RFK Jr. (Sec. HHS)

Kevin Warsh (Fed Nominee)

Mehmet Oz (Admin. for CMS)

Elon Musk (Fmr DOGE Appointee)

Steve Bannon (Fmr Senior Advisor)

Alex Acosta (Fmr Sec. Labor)

Bill Barr (Fmr AG)

Brett Ratner (Film Director "Melania")

Marco Rubio (Sec. of State)

The day is still young and the House has been dismissed by both Johnson and Thune. There are some Democrats in DC who are going into the DOJ and fire up those 4 computers to look into more of the redacted pages and being spied on by the DOJ at the same time as to which files they are pulling to find the other perpetrators.. The goal will always be for the Epstein victims to receive their justice and possibly some peace.

When Homan announced the exit of ICE from Minnesota and Minneapolis said “Operation Metro Surge will be leaving and Minneapolis is now safer.” Believe the young woman asked by a reporter her response about the withdrawal was much more accurate. “Minneapolis is much safer because ICE is gone.”

The day is still young and hopefully that Felon will not attack any more of our Olympic athletes by exercising their First Amendment. There are days that believe Hell is too good for him at his demise.

Pam Bondi proved yesterday beyond a scintilla of doubt that she is not fit or able to do her job. We have no Attorney General of the United States. We have a dead eyed sycophant so deeply enmeshed in a corrupt system she can't see the jail cell for the prison bars. Here's today's mantra: Nixon may not have gone to jail but his attorney general did.

Bondi's sudden topic shift was even more jarring when she said 50,000 DOLLARS instead of POINTS 'Show me you know nothing of which you speak' 😄

Truth telling, as always, and a truly touching close. Thank you, Mary.👍
