Kamala Harris was filmed smiling and clapping along with some Puerto Rican singers during her visit to San Juan, but stopped suddenly when an aide translated the lyrics which included“We want to know, Kamala, what did you come here for?"
- Three + years into her term as Vice President… I think we’d all like to know the answer to that question.

“UGE” day for Donald Trump…
He’s in a NYC courtroom this morning for… (let me get out my special “Court Calendar”) the Stormy Daniels hush money case… Where he is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records regarding over $130,000 in payments to the Porn Star.
- In his defense, it’s a whole lotta paperwork when you’re dealing with $130,000 in SINGLES.

Meanwhile… An appeals court slashed former President Donald Trump's bond payment this morning from $454 MILLION to $175 MILLION… and gave him 10 days to pay it in order to appeal the Civil Fraud Allegations by NY AG Letitia James. He originally had to post all $454 MILLION by midnight tonight.
- I’m no Geoffrey Feiger… and my hair’s certainly not that spectacular… But isn’t it kind of Anti-American to have to pay $175 MILLION just for the right to go to court to try to prove that you shouldn’t have to pay the $454 MILLION in the first place??

The CEO, COO and Chairman of the Board of Boeing are all stepping down at the end of the year as the plane maker continues to recover from the Alaska Airlines Door disaster and ongoing 737 Max safety issues.
- I’m sure they all end up with massive “Golden Parachutes”… Whereas there passengers would just be happy with regular old parachutes handed out before every flight.

New York City experienced a rainfall record during Saturday’s storm with more than 3.6 inches recorded in Central Park.
- It was so wet that MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no…
(Btw… “MacArthur Park” is considered by Disc Jockey’s everywhere as “The Bathroom Break Song” because it was 7 minutes and 20 seconds long).

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Tuesday!
