KEY WEST LOU / DONALD TRUMP…..THE PINOCCHIO OF POLITICS

Donald Trump, liar of liars, the Pinocchio of politics, claims he never called for Hillary Clinton to be locked up. He denies ever calling for her to be jailed.

The “lock her up” issue came up during an interview yesterday on “Fox and Friends Weekend.”

Trump talking “stupid” in another vein yesterday. He said he will “accept” home confinement or jail time. “He would accept.” Who does he think he is? Whatever the sentence, he’s stuck with it unless an appellate court overturns it for some reason.

Trump followed up his asinine statement with another re if he were jailed: “I think it will be tough for the public to take…..there’s a breaking point.”

Some would protest. However as Trump’s battle has waged since 2020, his popularity has diminished a bit at a time. By the time he might be heading for jail, his following will not be anywhere as significant as it once was.

Many believe it is time to reign in the Supreme Court. Certain members are exceedingly out of line. Alito and Thomas to be specific.

The time is here. Now. What remains is the courage to proceed. Top legal theorists are suggesting ways. It is time to pay attention and move forward.

The Supreme Court is out of hand. No longer functions as was intended. People are losing faith in the institution as it has with the other two branches of government.

Alito and Thomas have actually done the U.S. people a favor. They have crystalized the issue of propriety and control as far as the Court is concerned. By the two attempting to be omnipotent, they have weakened the Court. They are cracks in the dyke.

Rupert Murdoch was married saturday. Murdoch the media mogul. Helped make his fortune with FOX and the Wall Street Journal. At 93, married for the fifth time.

He is estimated to be worth $10 billion. His new wife is Elena Zhukova, a 67 year old molecular biologist.

The rise of anti-Semitism is overwhelming.

Jesus was a Jew. Many anti-Semites are Christians. Something neither discussed nor considered. Jesus was born, lived and died a Jew.

Why is such ignored?

Faye Dunaway, a Hollywood great. She won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Bonnie and Clyde.

Back in my sailing days, her eastern U.S. home was located in Stamford, Connecticut. A lovely property near the Stamford Yacht Club.

I had put into the Yacht Club on two occasions while sailing off the north shore of Long Island. We would walk a bit each day. We would pass Dunaway’s home each time. Admired it!

The Yacht Club also provided the opportunity to meet Edward R. Murrow. I remained alone on the boat one afternoon while my friends were out and about. Our sail boat was slipped next to an even larger power boat. The gentleman on it was alone also. We began chatting. He invited me to come on board. We enjoyed a drink together. It was Edward R. Murrow.

An experience!

I sailed the north shore of Long Island several years in a row.  The Stamford Club was the finest yacht club we put into during those trips.

The reason I write about Faye Dunaway and the Stamford Yacht Club an inadvertent one. I came across a detailed article on the internet re Dunaway which kicked in my memory of her home and the Stamford Yacht Club.

An interesting question appeared on the internet yesterday: “Before we work on artificial intelligence, why don’t we do something about natural stupidity?”

A major killer in Medieval Times was dehydration from diarrhea.

For some reason, Da Vinci’s The Last Supper is on my mind this morning. It depicts the moment at the Last Supper when Jesus revealed that one of his disciples would betray him. The face of each disciple reflects their personal reaction to the revelation.

I have mentioned this great work several times over the years. I was fortunate to have viewed it. So moving. A rare experience. Thought provoking in many ways.

The painting is a mural. A mural is a large painting applied directly to a wall, a permanent surface. It becomes an integral part of the wall. The Last Super takes up a huge portion of a wall within the Santa Maria Delle Grazie Convent in Milan.

Its dimensions overwhelming. The Last Supper is 180 inches by 350 inches. It covers the end wall of the dining hall at the monastery portion of the Santa Maria delle Grazie. Its size better grasped when the inches are translated into feet. The work is 15 feet by 29.2 feet.

Imposing!

It took Da Vinci three years to complete.

Enjoy your day!
