-Short Attention Span Theater-
Judge Bert Guy busted for DUI outside Wacko's strip joint
[NYPOST] One of Georgia's most senior judges has been arrested for alleged drunk driving after a fender bender outside a Florida strip club called Wacko's.

Robert ''Bert'' Guy Jr., 48, resigned as president of Georgia's Council of Superior Court Judges on Friday, days after his arrest just across state lines in Jacksonville.

The Superior Court judge allegedly backed his Mercedes-Benz into a Ford F-150 in the strip club's parking at 3 a.m. Tuesday — then offered the other driver $500 to avoid exchanging information, alerting him to his powerful position, according to an arrest report obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The judge then attempted to drive away — but ''was unable to do so as he appeared highly intoxicated,'' a parking valet told police.

Guy was escorted back inside Wacko's Gentlemen's Club, where employees ''kept a watchful eye on him,'' the affidavit said.

He smelled strongly of alcohol, appeared confused, and was slurring his words when law enforcement arrived, according to the arrest report.

Guy repeatedly insisted he didn't have his keys and refused to hand over his ID, according to the arrest report.

He was arrested at the scene and charged with DUI and DUI-property damage, along with an additional charge for later failing to submit to a breathalyzer test, jail logs show.

I thought the combo of COVID shut downs, the economy tanking, and the inflation (drinks and dances) pretty much wiped many of those out.

Government Corruption
CCP-linked businessman donates $65,000 to Dem Mikie Sherrill's bid for NJ governor
[NYPOST] A Chinese businessman whose company has strong ties to the Chinese Communist Party has poured at least $65,000 into Rep. Mikie Sherrill's bid for New Jersey governor, records show.

Pin Ni, the founder of Wanxiang America Corporation, cut at least two checks for a combined $60,000 this year for the One Giant Leap super PAC, which is backing Sherrill's bid against Republican Jack Ciattarelli.

Pin also gave another $5,800 — the maximum allowable limit — directly to Sherrill's campaign in June, records indicate.

Only American citizens or permanent legal residents are allowed to make donations to political campaigns. Pin's status is not fully clear, though records indicate he has a Social Security number.
Not his own, of course

I can't believe this sort of thing hasn't been happening all the time since Bill Clinton was in office and signed the legislation to give China most favored nation trading status...maybe even before then.

Corporate executives and politicians have been corrupted by CCP money for a long time and NYP is finally starting to tell us about it?

Exposed: Letitia James's Decades of Alleged Mortgage Fraud-way more extensive than being reported
[PJMedia] After four years of relentless lawfare against President Trump, with Democrats shouting that “no one is above the law,” they’ve made one thing perfectly clear: in their world, Democrats are above the law. The evidence that New York Attorney General Letitia James engaged in mortgage fraud is extensive and damning, yet Democrats react with outrage, accusing Trump of “targeting his enemies,” with zero self-awareness or irony.

Make no mistake—unlike James’s baseless case against Trump, the proof that James herself broke the law is overwhelming. Conservative filmmaker and journalist Joel Gilbert laid out a detailed and troubling case, showing that her alleged pattern of mortgage fraud spans decades, and is far more serious than her defenders admit.

Speaking on Real America’s Voice, Gilbert made a detailed James’s extensive history of mortgage fraud.

“Letitia James probably should not have been charging Donald Trump with trumped-up charges of mortgage fraud in New York, given the fact that New York is a public record state and that all of her mortgages for 43 years were online for myself or anybody else to pull up,” Gilbert said. He then outlined a pattern of alleged mortgage fraud dating back to 1983, when James was just 24 years old. “She purchased her first home with her father, claiming that her father was her husband,” he said. “They purchased it as husband and wife in order to help Letitia qualify for a mortgage that she was not entitled to.”

The filmmaker said James continued this pattern with her Brooklyn property. “She bought a four-story, five-unit apartment building, and for 24 years she told the banks it was either four units or one unit, even though the certificate of occupancy for the building said it was five units,” Gilbert explained. He noted that the distinction mattered, because “if you have four units or less, you get a residential mortgage rate, which is lower. You also get almost no closing costs. Five units or higher, like Letitia had, you get high interest rates and very high closing costs.”

And there’s more.

“She also didn’t register for rent stabilization, which she was supposed to do every year.” As Gilbert put it, “her building is a crime scene, and she defrauded and scammed banks for 24 years” to save money “she wasn’t entitled to.”

James also engaged in mortgage fraud with three homes in Virginia. “Every one of those three homes, there’s mortgage fraud. She buys a foreclosure with her aunt, and then she doesn’t appear on the deed, which is illegal,” Gilbert said.

He described one property on Sterling Avenue in Norfolk, Virginia, in particular: “She explicitly says, ‘I bought this for my niece’s children,’ to make us think that, oh, she, she’s trying to help little kids. Well, her niece’s two children are adult convicted felons. One of them is an absconder from justice with an arrest warrant out of North Carolina. So Letitia bought the property specifically to harbor a fugitive.”

Gilbert also explained how James misrepresented her occupancy to get favorable mortgage terms. “My colleague Sam Antar pointed out that Letitia claimed that would be her primary residence. It was actually rejected by the bank nine times. The tenth time, Letitia says, ‘That’s gonna be my primary residence.’ It gets approved, and that was illegal ‘cause she got the mortgage and lower interest rates because she’d be the primary resident.”

It’s the third Virginia property that triggered the first major legal action against James, as she allegedly rented it out despite a loan requiring her to occupy it or treat it as a second residence—an apparent case of bank fraud carrying up to 30 years in prison. He warned this indictment may be only the beginning, noting James’s alleged pattern of mortgage fraud spans 24 years, including as recently as 2021. Gilbert concluded that James has “repeatedly gamed the system, defrauded banks, and misrepresented herself on property transactions for decades,” all while pursuing politically motivated cases against others.

#1  That’s why she went after Trump for mortage fraud. It’s her default. If you ask her what she wants for lunch she says, “Mortgage fraud. Oh, I take a tuna melt and a 2 liter of Coke.”

#2  Makes sense she chose that attack on Trump; she is, after all, a subject matter expert.

Jack Ciattarelli to Sue Mikie Sherrill for Wild Claim He ''Killed Tens of Thousands of People'' in NJ Gov Debate
[BREITBART] New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli announced through a campaign strategist on Thursday that he is intending to sue Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ), his election rival, for defamation after she claimed on Wednesday that he had personally ''killed tens of thousands of people.''

Rep. Sherrill made the claim during their final election debate on Wednesday, referencing Ciattarelli's medical publishing businesses. The Congresswoman claimed that, since Ciattarelli's businesses published content from drug companies selling opioids, he was personally responsible for the deaths of everyone in New Jersey who consumed and became addicted to the drugs.

Rep. Sherrill reportedly doubled down on her homicide claim on Thursday, telling USA Today that she thought it was ''not a leap'' to call Ciattarelli personally a killer.

''In a time where political violence and violent mostly peaceful rhetoric are becoming all too prevalent, Mikie Sherrill baselessly and recklessly accusing a political opponent of mass murder in a televised debate crosses the line,'' Ciattarelli strategist Chris Russell said in a statement on Thursday, according to NorthJersey.com, confirming legal action against the politician. Russell referred to Rep. Sherrill's comments as ''a clearly defamatory attack that shocked the moderators, press and public alike.''

NorthJersey.com, which hosted the engagement on Thursday between Rep. Sherrill and USA Today Ed Forbes, senior director for opinion and engagement Ed Forbes, quoted her as insisting to that newspaper that her assertion that Ciattarelli personally killed people was not excessive.

#1  There is no statute of limitations on murder. If the dude personally killed 10Ks of people, let's get famous prosecutor LeTitia James on the case and show him what's what!

Personally, if I had to kill tens of thousands of people, I'd get my minions to do it. Delegation, people! It's a key to executive success.

Conservative NJ mom, board member targeted by vile message
[NYPOST] A New Jersey school board candidate was caught red-handed sending vicious, sexual messages about a conservative female board member in a group chat labeled ''ThisBitchNeedsToDie.''

Photos of Scott Semaya's vile texts about Danielle Bellomo at a July school board meeting leaked this week on social media — and the widening scandal is now being investigated by local cops and roiling the affluent suburb of Marlboro.

''Bellomo must be cold — her nips could cut glass right n'' read one text, allegedly captured on camera while Semaya's fingers typed an ''o.''

Outrage was immediate, and Semaya this week dropped out of the race for the Marlboro Board of Education, followed by his running mate Melissa Goldberg.

''It was absolutely terrifying,'' Bellomo exclusively told The Post. ''When I found out about the messages I was absolutely shocked, especially with the climate of our country. It sent chills down my spine.

Bellomo, 38, is a MAGA-loving, President Trump-supporting mom of three and staunch Republican, who poses in a star-spangled bikini for her Facebook profile picture. She believes she has been targeted for her politics.

''I'm a proud and unapologetic advocate for parental rights, for my children, for our town and our state and for that they have this hate for me,'' she said.
