To the Editor:
Today, I went to get breakfast with my gorgeous daughter Lisa Marie Rosales. We chose Alejandro’s Cafe in Pharralito.
My buddy sent me a text the other day, I think, as a way to vent. He’s taking his frustrations out on Hidalgo County.
Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida has led a successful uprising against Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. He, along with seven other Republicans, voted to vacate the speakership. Democrats were more than willing to back the move, and the total number of yes votes was sufficient to oust McCarthy from his position. McCarthy claims Gaetz was acting in retaliation for an assumption that McCarthy had set him up to be investigated by the House Ethics Committee for supposed sexual impropriety (which the Ethics Committee ultimately refused to do). McCarthy denied he had ever had anything to do with proposing an investigation. Gaetz, on the other hand, indicates he sought McCarthy’s expulsion because McCarthy had broken a number of promises he made to secure the speakership in the first place. Primary among these was his deal with the Democrats to support a continuing resolution to prevent a governmental shutdown by funding everything (except the Ukraine war and the U.S. Border initiative) until Christmas.
If I don’t get really sick or kidnapped by the cartels, I should have my newest truecrime book published before Thanksgiving week — Killer in the Clerical Collar.
New York Judge Arthur Engoron has ruled that Donald Trump has fraudulently overvalued several of his properties in order to achieve lower bank interest rates on loans. He is also dissolving the corporate status of several of Trump’s companies because of the supposed fraud. All loans have been paid on time and the banks are happy with the loans. This anti-Trump Democrat judge, however, is decidedly unhappy. He notes, for example, that the assessed tax value of the Donald’s home, Mar-A-Lago (along with its property of seventeen and a half downtown seaside acres), is only $18 million, but that Trump has valued it at between 400 and 600 million.
