    I've been to White Castle.
    Sometimes, a bit of pain involved.
    Can get positively medieval on your ass.

    White Castle = gastro tract pain indeed
    I recalled it was better in my youth
    But when back east a couple years ago I saw one and insisted on grabbing some my family was disgusted with the smell.
    As was I once I burped

    A Chinese woman with a thumb drive containing malware as well as multiple passports and electronic devices was arrested at The Mar-a-Lago Club on Saturday after she made her way past a security checkpoint, according to a federal criminal complaint.

    President Donald Trump was at Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter at the time, according to White House press pool reports.

    Yujing Zhang appeared in court Monday on charges of unlawfully entering a restricted building or grounds and making false statements to federal law enforcement agents.
    Zhang — who also had two passports, four cellphones, a laptop and a hard drive — told a Secret Service agent her father was a club member and she was visiting the pool, the complaints states.
    She said club security had allowed her to enter because of "a language barrier," the complaint states.
    The on-duty manager said someone with the last name Zhang was a club member, but Secret Service could not confirm that she was a club member, the complaint states
    A golf-cart valet picked up Zhang and asked her where she wanted to go, but she said she wasn't sure, so the valet dropped her off at the main reception area, the complaint states.
    They passed three Secret Service agents during the ride and Zhang passed through another Secret Service checkpoint before entering the main reception area, the complaint states.
    After a receptionist asked Zhang multiple times why she was visiting the club, she said she was attending a United Nations Chinese-American Association event; however, that event didn't exist, the complaint states.
    The receptionist determined Zhang wasn't on the club's access list and had her escorted off the property, the complaint states.
    A Secret Service agent questioned why Zhang was at the club, and she again claimed she was there to attend an event focused on Chinese-American foreign relations, the complaint states.
    During a second interview, Zhang told agents her friend "Charles" told her to travel from Shanghai to Palm Beach to attend the event and to talk to a member of Trump's family about the economic relationship between U.S. and China, the complaint states.
    Zhang, who is fluent in English, said she and Charles talked exclusively through WeChat, a popular instant messaging platform used in China, but agents were unable to determine who he is, the complaint states.

    Zhang's detention hearing is scheduled for April 8.

    The Trump Organization owns the Palm Beach resort.

    Can't make up fake news any better/funnier than the real news stories these days

    Ex-Congressman's Russian Bank Loses License for Money Laundering
    A regional Russian bank owned by a former U.S. congressman had its license revoked Friday for violations that included breaking rules against money laundering.

    Commercial Bank of Ivanovo, in which Republican former North Carolina Representative Charles Taylor owns an 80 percent stake, regularly broke anti-money laundering regulations, misrepresented the size of its provisions and used “schemes” to artificially inflate its capital, according to a central bank statement.

    Suspect Russian cash has caught up several lenders in northern Europe, with Swedbank AB’s head Birgitte Bonnesen the latest executive to lose her job over allegations her bank was involved in a $230 billion Danske Bank A/S laundering scandal. In Russia, the central bank has purged more than 40 percent of the country’s lenders since 2013 under Governor Elvira Nabiullina in an attempt to clean up the financial sector and stem suspicious transactions.

    Taylor represented North Carolina’s 11th district from 1991 to 2007. In his freshman term, together with Newt Gingrich, he was part of the so-called Gang of Seven that investigated a House banking scandal that fueled the perception of corruption in the lower chamber and helped usher in a Republican majority. He also created exchange programs and internships for Russian students during Russia’s transition from Communism.


    As I've stated previously I don't think that the GOP has a monopoly on corruption in politics but they're clearly keeping the pedal to the metal to prevent the idiot Dem's from catching up to the front car on the corruption train either. Not to mention how is it that a 'public servant' amasses so much wealth as to own 80% of a bank? WTF?? Noted that he chose to invest in a Russian bank rather than an American bank... so does that make it better that he 'only' defrauds Russians and not American's?? (well since he's been out of office that is)

    Aaaaaaaaaaaand because I mean what I say about both party's leaders being shit stains...

    Ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner ordered to register as sex offender

    NEW YORK (AP) — Former Rep. Anthony Weiner was ordered Friday to register as a sex offender as he nears the end of a 21-month prison sentence for having illicit online contact with a 15-year-old girl.

    A New York City judge designated Weiner a Level 1 offender under the state’s version of what’s known as Megan’s Law, meaning that he is thought to have a low risk of reoffending.

    Weiner, a once-rising star in the Democratic Party who served nearly 12 years in Congress, has been living in a halfway house since February after serving most of his sentence at a prison in Massachusetts. He’s due to be released May 14 but still faces three years of court supervision.

    Weiner, 54, must register for a minimum of 20 years. He is required to verify his address every year, notify the state within 10 days of moving and visit a police station every three years to have a new picture taken.

    Because of his low-level designation, Weiner’s information won’t show up in the state’s online sex offender registry but will be available via a toll-free telephone number. (Influence peddling again?)

    Weiner pleaded guilty in May 2017 to transferring obscene material to a minor. Prosecutors said he had a series of sexually explicit Skype and Snapchat exchanges with a North Carolina high school student and encouraged the teen to strip naked and touch herself sexually. At his sentencing, Weiner said he’d been a “very sick man for a very long time” and said he had a sex addiction.

    Weiner’s lawyer said the former lawmaker likely exchanged thousands of messages with hundreds of women over the years and was communicating with up to 19 women when he encountered the teenager. It wasn’t the first time Weiner had been caught acting inappropriately. (duh)

    After sending a lewd picture of himself to a college student in 2011, Weiner claimed his account had been hacked, then admitted online interactions with at least six other women while married to top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

    Weiner resigned from Congress, only to try for a political comeback with a run for New York City mayor in 2013. Then came the revelation that Weiner had used the alias “Carlos Danger” to send explicit photos to at least one woman after resigning from Congress.




    The Hilarity is that North Carolina was in the news in BOTH stories, a fact that I've shared with my NC relatives

    I know this borders on treasonous thought, but I didn't like George Washington's hair.
    Sorry.
    He was no Ben Franklin.

    It's the Sampson principle. His strength lies in his hair. He cannot cut it because of that,.not because he is a Sikh, as the persistent rumor goes...
