Y’all, I am not a conspiracy theorist.  Just look at the number of people squealing on Trump.  Even small groups of people cannot keep a secret.

However … I kinda believe that Ken Lay didn’t up and die of a heart attack out of the clear blue.  He was rich enough to cremate a wet elephant with $100 bills, and I think I saw him in a spacesuit in a background shot of The Martian.  I dunno.

Well, come to find out, it appears that maybe, just maybe, Jeffrey Epstein was murdered

New York City’s former chief medical examiner insisted Wednesday that Jeffrey Epstein’s death was a homicide.

Forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden was hired by the pedophile’s brother, Mark Epstein, to observe his autopsy after he was found hanged in his Manhattan lockup in August

“I think that the evidence points toward homicide rather than suicide,” Baden insisted on Fox News Wednesday.

I’m not saying that the pathologist might have a reason to question the results of the autopsy. If the autopsy was legit, the hired gun would be out of work pretty damn quick.

And I’m not saying that Epstein had dirt on a lot of powerful people, but you know what, Epstein had dirt on a lot of powerful people.

But I am not a conspiracy theorist. Much.

So, Jared Kushner did an interview with Israeli television and …

He also said that the American people are “sick” of the investigation and that “the president hasn’t done anything wrong.”

And …

“If they want to play silly games we will obviously deal with that in an appropriate manner but we are not going to let that distract us as an administration.”

Yeah, he said that at exactly the same time that  Trump has spent all morning on Twitter whimpering, crying, and screaming about Nancy Pelosi.

Ya know, nine years ago this month I heard Tom DeLay tell the judge (not under oath) in an Austin courtroom that he violated laws because of Nancy Pelosi. And he spit out her last name every time he said it as if it were a vile cuss word.  Nancy made him do it.  It’s all Nancy’s fault.

Damn, y’all, that woman is some kind of powerful.

You asked for it so here it is.  Glen and I are raising money for the Ballot by Mail program.

Click the button up in the header that says DONATE and get started making a real difference in Texas.  Glen has promised to dance on the table again this year if we reach our $10,000 goal.

And remember, every penny you donate goes directly to the actual program – there’s no overhead and Glen and I volunteer our time for this.

Go pick yourself an orphan county.

This is personal, but some of you asked to know how it went.  It was lovely.

Thank you for your support and thank Ben for not dropping the Bible. He was very proud of himself for that.

Last night, Jimmy Kimmel compared Barack Obama’s announcement of the killing of Osama Bin Ladin with Trump’s announcement of the killing of Al Baghdadi.  Obama took 9 minutes.  Trump took 48.  As you can imagine, the comparison is jaw dropping.

Donald Trump went to the World Series last night.  He was not invited at any time to throw out the first pitch or to sit in the owner’s box.  And he wore a suit. Who wears a suit to a baseball game.  Who does that?

His entry into the stadium was not announced.  They waited until about the third inning, when they traditionally show the military and veterans in attendance, to show him on the big screen sitting in the stadium.

He was booed.  Loudly.  The boos were followed by chants of “Lock him up.” Two or three large banners – one directly behind home plate – were unfurled in the crowd that said “Veterans For Impeachment.”

All over the internet machine today, there are pictures and movies of Trump waving broadly to the crowd until he realizes he’s not being cheered, but booed.  I will not take away your opportunity to find those for yourself because exploring is half the fun.  Google Trump booed.  And enjoy yourself.
