I know if you’re like me, you’ve been saying to yourself, “Oh boy, I sure to miss Rudy Giuliani.”

Rudy has turned up missing lately.  The man who once spouted almost 24 hours a day ain’t saying much.  In fact, if he’s quiet for two more days, his face is gonna start showing up on milk cartons.

I think we might have a lead.

A human rights organization has asked Dutch prosecutors to open a criminal investigation into multi-billion dollar money laundering schemes that they say were aided by Donald Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and his old law firm.

We’re not talking a little money.  We’re talking ten billion dollars.

He’s sitting in a safe somewhere counting his money.  It takes a long time to count that much money and come up with a plan to steal Trump’s part.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

My friend and fellow Texan Kary has retired to Spain but is still a diehard Democrat.

I don’t know how much theater you follow, but Kary entertains all his friends with theater stories.  He has the best stories. This morning he made me spray coffee out my nose.

Look! Rooster and Lilly St. Regis (the Mudges) showing up at the White House to collect the reward as Annie’s parents…..EEEEEEzy Street……EEEEEEzy Street

If you’re not a theater person, here’s the catch.

Thanks to Kary for the heads up.

Politico says House Republicans are shocked, shocked I tell you, that Donald Trump “hijacked” this election.

Oh, they loved it when he introduced the whole scary people caravan thing coming to slice your throat.  Oh, that was just great.  But now they fear, oh dear Lord, that Trump “has gone overboard” on it.

Really now?  Trump going overboard?  Goodness gracious, who ever could have predicted that happening? Usually Trump is so judicious and inclined to know when to stop. He’s just a calm, reasonable man who puts party above self.  I imagine House Republicans are stunned at this recent behavior aberration of going the hell overboard.

So they had Paul Ryan call him and ask him to stress something else.

House Speaker Paul Ryan got President Donald Trump on the phone Sunday for one final plea on behalf of anxious Republicans: Please, please talk up the booming economy in the final hours before Election Day.

But Trump, unsurprisingly, had another issue on his mind. He boasted to Ryan that his focus on immigration has fired up the base, according to a source familiar with the call.

The idea that they expected Trump to change his very nature to benefit them is about $14.98 on the Ten Bucks Worth of Crazy scale.

But there may be some value in all this. After this election they’ll start attacking each other instead of us.

The laying of blame will be a sight to behold.

If you’re anxiously awaiting election results, I have some Texas things to entertain you with.  You people from foreign states have no idea about the mess Republicans have gotten us into.  Here’s a few characters for you to get to know before election night.

Y’all Know Sid Miller?  He’s the Ag Commissioner.

Y’all Know Ken Paxton?  He’s the indicted attorney general.

Y’all Know Dan Patrick? We don’t know what he is.

Have fun getting to know Texas.

Thanks to Foresight for the heads up.

The New York Times summed up Texas like they were living here.  Enjoy!

I also wanted to let you know that your donations helped to pay for the final of three mailers from Sisters United.  You helped pay for the Fort Bend part of it.  It went to Democratic women who have not voted yet.

I think I showed you the other ones before.

I’m feeling pretty upbeat about Beto and I also feel good about our local candidates, too, especially a young friend of Bubba’s who is running for DA.

Let’s flip this damn thing.
