HA! I remember when a deer smashed through the plate glass window at Sakowitz in Nassau Bay, they called him Rudolf because he blooded his nose on the way throughMornin’ Gang
There are very few people that remember Sakowitz today and it was nice to see it mentioned.
I was their resident Cabinetmaker for a couple of years and worked in all their Stores doing various renovations and fixture work.
I even worked in the Owners Houses Robert and Tobias.
Wonderful memories and great people to work for.
God had other plans for me and I moved on but I appreciate the opportunity to have been a part of their organization.
Morning Dave et al -
Gruesome news out of our subdivision, just up the street. Although we didn’t know them, many folks talking about their kids went to school and were friends with the murderer. This stuff doesn’t happen out here. Two families split wide open, please pray for them.

It looks like this “Thursday” is the correct one so as I said about 4:30 AM
Mornin’ Gang

I’m bringing my 4:22 over also;
210 Democrats Vote Against Bill Requiring Medical Services To Babies Born Alive After Abortion Attempt.In a historic move, Democrats in Congress showed their true colors by voting against legislation that would require immediate medical attention for babies who are born alive after an attempt was made to abort them.
The bill still passed, thanks to Republicans, with 220 votes. However, there were still 210 Democrats who voted “no.”
The bill says that infants born alive are “legal persons” who are entitled to “the laws of the United States.”
This language of the bill proved to be too controversial for radical leftists who apparently believe even born babies have no right to medical attention.
Hypocritically, Democrats claim all Americans have a right to receive health care, but openly deny health care to those most in need — namely, children who survive failed abortions.
Sadly this doesn’t surprise me one bit.

#3 RE: death story
I remember the family that lived two houses away from us when I was a kid. They lived on the corner lot, and the two kids were a royal PITA to folks on our street. The boy was teasing our neighbor’s beloved German Shepherd named Bullet. He kept raising Bullet’s food dish over his head, putting it down, and then picking it up again when Bullet went for his food. All the kids on the street knew this dog, knew the family, and we all hung out at the family’s parents’ house and talked to Memaw and Pawpaw all the time.
Because this bratty kid was teasing Bullet, Bullet was jumping up to get to his food. A tooth scratched the kid’s face, and the parents were trying to get the dog put down for being vicious. A compromise was reached by the two side by side houses putting up a fence around their lots. These lots were 2 acres in size, so it wasn’t a cheap fence by any means. It also meant that it was harder for us to visit the elder folks or to pet bullet. Yep, all the kids on the street hated those kids.
Later, the bratty kids’ dog was once again tearing into our trash. Unlike Bullet, this dog was allowed to run free. Trash day was “free food day” for this mutt, and everyone had to pick up the strewn trash every week. One day, BCS watched as the kids were laughing as their dog was tearing through our trash, threatened the kids, and made them pick up the mess. The two kids ran home and told their momma how mean my sister was. Their mom caught our mom on her way home from grocery shopping and gave her a highly embellished version of events. BCS was grounded. Yep, we hated those kids.
Then, one Christmas morning, when I was about twelve or so, we heard a helicopter trying to land down at the corner. It was Life Flight. It seemed that the father had shot the mother in front of the two kids. She didn’t make it. He was arrested and the kids were removed.
It was hard to hate them after that. I can only imagine what their home life was like.

OFTEN TRUE ☙ Thursday, January 12, 2023 ☙ C&C NEWS
Good morning, C&C, it’s Thursday! Welcome to your roundup: Supermodel dies from what looks like turbo-cancer; Project Veritas chases jumpy Pfizer exec; damning Facebook email emerges from Missouri v. Biden; Joe Biden’s classified document problem just got a lot worse; and fake scientist Neil De Grasse Tyson is still pushing for jab mandates.
Now that we have the roundup….
1990’s supermodel Tatjana Patitz, 57, kicked the bucket with high heels yesterday, from sudden-onset metastatic breast cancer.
/snip
According to online comments, Tatjana’s Instagram never mentioned anything about cancer, suggesting it came on suddenly. None of the media reports provide any details about her diagnosis or death.
I mentioned yesterday how sad it was that so many of the comments were stories about turbo-cancered family members. Cancer that killed in a matter of weeks or months, instead of years. Cancer that came on so suddenly that it had spread throughout the body before a doctor could even catch it.
So, RIP lovely lady. And all those who’ve lost loved ones.

Then, there’s this – the free ride on jabs is about to end:
On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal ran a quiet little story headlined, “Moderna Considers Price of $110-$130 for Covid-19 Vaccine.” The sub-headline explained, “Commercial price is similar to Pfizer’s plans for after government contracting ends.”
Both drugmakers have now announced plans to increase the jab price from the government’s wholesale rate of about $30 per shot to around $130 at retail. That’s created nifty opportunities for political grandstanding about greed and selfishness et cetera, but the real news is the price increases signal the end of free government jabs.
In other words, it’s not about the price increasing by $100. The real story is the soon, the jabs aren’t going to be free. In other words, the market is going to start voting on the jabs. I wonder how the market will vote?
So many people will do anything if they think it’s “free”. (PS: nothing is “free,” the cost has been transferred to someone else.) It could be a steaming pile of dog poo, but put a bow on it and offer it for free, and someone will take it. Put a dollar figure on that pile of poo, and only a hard core gardener who wants to compost it (or someone needs it for a prank), will take it.
In this case, it will be the brain dead covid zombies that’ll line up for it.
Moderna is projecting a loss in sales. Wonder why?
Since they’ll have to start paying, we’ll soon find out who the really committed jabbers are. Sure, insurance will probably cover most of the shot cost, but these days everybody has a significant co-payment, so some out-of-pocket expense seems likely. Who among us will keep paying?
Not me. I haven’t bought any. Even the free shots. I didn’t even go for the free donut offer.

For all you audiophiles, this is great info.
Who knew that the best speakers can be quickly and easily made from acoustic ceiling tiles and sheets of styrofoam.
The website, Tech Ingredients, is nerdy as heck but very interesting.

Okay, this next section of the C&C is a “really should read” but I’ll have to highly redact the section. I encourage you to go read the whole dang thing. It’s times like this I am glad a lawyer is dissecting this topic:
Bless that Missouri attorney general. The disclosures from the Missouri v. Biden case are confirming what we all knew was going on, but couldn’t prove. The latest tidbit to be flipped out of the chum bucket is a pivotal March 21st, 2021 email from a Facebook staffer to Andy Slavitt, the White House Covid Coordinator.
Childers displays an image of a damning email with evidence that the WH was coordinating with Big Tech to censor the public.
Here’s the crucial bit that I highlighted above:
[W]e have been focused on reducing the virality of content discouraging vaccines that does not contain actionable misinformation. This is often-true content, which we allow at the post level because experts have advised us that it is important for people to be able to discuss both their personal experiences and concerns about the vaccine, but it can be framed as sensation, alarmist, or shocking. We’ll remove these Groups, Pages, and Accounts when they are disproportionately promoting this sensationalized content. More on this front as we proceed to implement.
Often true! This email is a key bit of evidence proving several key facts, if not the entire case against the federal government. You could even call it a “smoking gun.” Why?
First, the email proves that Facebook’s motive was not really to stop “misinformation” from hurting people, but rather it was always intended to help promote the government’s hyper-aggressive vaccine program.
/snip
Next, the staffer specifically proved at least one of the technical mechanisms of censorship, and helpfully admitted that people’s free speech rights were harmed — even putting a number on it. That admission proves DAMAGES. He said:
Additional limitations we placed in April 2020 on forwarding of messages that have been forwarded many times reduced these kinds of messages by over 70%.
/snip
Next, the email proves COORDINATION between the government and the private actor, Facebook. In the email’s second-to-last sentence, the Facebook staffer called the previous list “these commitments.”…
A commitment is something you make to someone that you are working with as part of an agreement, contract, or collusion.
Next, the very last sentence, promising “More on this front as we proceed to implement,” proves the White House was coordinating censorship with Facebook.
Lots of discussion here, then the kicker:
There’s a word for this kind of government control of big private companies. I can’t remember the exact word, it starts with an ‘f’, and Mussolini really loved it. Fash-something.
Childers makes the point that government guy avoided putting this Constitutional violation in writing, but Big Tech folks aren’t as familiar with the CYA tactics that politicians are. IMHO, they also think they are above the law, they are Information Gods and untouchable, so who cares what kind of paper trail they leave? It won’t matter.
Here’s hoping this lawsuit gets more traction and coverage. And rolling heads and long jail terms.
But I hold my breath not.

Kevin Harvick is retiring from NASCAR Cup racing at the end of the season. Another of those nauseating retirement tours coming this season, glad I don’t watch anymore. I guess he is the last of that generation, unless I’m missing someone. I hate that I like him these days.
-
From the C&C comments. Some of these folks are just as delightfully snarky as Childers hisself:
We declined the jab (that could kill you) when it was free.
Now we can pay $100 for the jab (which can kill you). The cost of Science keeps going up!
What’s the public doesn’t realize is that it came out of our pocket anyway… We are the government!
Only $25 per disability!
The fallacy that covid shots produce herd immunity (per Neil deGrasse Tyson) is currently Public Health’s biggest covid “misinformation” liability. Public Health loves the herd immunity myth, because it fits so neatly into the “collectivist” mindset that is being pushed on us. But now we all know it is a myth.
My idea of herd immunity is everyone owning guns. “A polite society is an armed society”.
You know what this is very true- Africa is where pharma does its real dirty work. That being said I find it ironic that their Covid deaths are nowhere near ours, and there hasn’t been huge uptake of mRNA from what I’ve read (???).
It is ironic and I had missed that prior to your mention of it. The use of Ivermectin in Africa is very high. As Jeff would say “so weird”.
Is anyone suspicious about the sudden revelations around classified documents? Is it possible that there are people in his own party making the push to undermine and possibly force him to resign or at the very least not run for re-election by damaging him? The timing coming right after the midterms is suspicious.
There’s a word for this kind of government control of big private companies. I can’t remember the exact word, it starts with an ‘f’, and Mussolini really loved it. Fash-something.”
“Fashionable” maybe? Because fascism has certainly become fashionable over the past bunch of years.
Interestingly they spent 4 yrs calling Trump and his supporters fascists. People who didn’t even know what the definition was. People who had no clue were throwing that term around like the word “the”. So what do we now have? The word fascist means absolutely nothing to this generation. It was “fashionable” to throw it around when it didn’t apply. So now when the word is used it has lost its true meaning. We got desensitized to what the word actually means and describes. Now it means nothing. See what they did? And they did it on purpose.
And so many more…

I caught this over yonder; 50 years, digital multimeter.
I love the old Nixie Tubes. 😉
-
BTW; Don’t count those old Nixie Tubes out yet;
April 4, 2019. I received a brief email from NASA: “Hello, We are looking for a clock that can take an IRIG input. (Inter-Range Instrumentation Group time code.) Specifically, we use IRIG-B123 here and we need a display we can photograph with high-speed cameras to verify their timing accuracy. Decades ago, we photographed Nixie tube displays that showed the timing done to 1/1000th of a second and was wondering if that is possible today with your nixie tubes. Thanks.”
And;
We got together specifications for the display and started the work. The first task was to find out the maximum frequency the nixie tube can reliably switch between digits. It turned out we can go up to 100 000 changes per second, so it would be possible to calibrate 100 000 fps cameras.
BTW; Please RTWDT Interesting to say the least. 😉

#13 SD
Different stories, some say the guy has been trouble and police have been there many times but our good friend neighbor says his son grew up friends with him and he never saw any of it. Lady across the street from there says the guy went off one time when her dog got loose, chest bumped her really hard and threatened to kill her. You would assume drugs, maybe in later years?
The couple lived in a small building on his parents property, parents have lived there since the early days of the subdivision. I wonder if the couple were just recently married because early on last night people were referring to her as his girlfriend but the news are saying they were married.

#19 Super Dave – NAILED IT
-
I grew up in a household with parents who were of the Greatest Generation. They lived and shouldered through the Great Depression, and then their lives and families were thrown into turmoil on Dec. 7, 1941. My grandfather worked for the War Department in Washington, D.C., and during World War II, my father served in the Pacific Theater.
Both my mother and father made a solemn vow that as long as they lived, they would never buy a German or a Japanese car. No matter how well they were made. They were the enemies. They were the ones who killed nearly half a million Americans. Period.
And that value system was transported to me. In honor of my parents’ values, I couldn’t in good conscience buy a Japanese or German car.
but now,
Meanwhile, and this is the especially sad part of the story, at least one company realizes the tomfoolery of making only electric cars. And that company is the Japanese automaker Toyota. Akio Toyoda, the president and grandson of the founder of the giant Japanese car company, is going to buck the trend.
“People involved in the auto industry are largely a silent majority,” Toyoda recently told news reporters. “That silent majority is wondering whether EVs are really OK to have as a single option. But they think it’s the trend, so they can’t speak out loudly.”
Toyoda wasn’t done. “I believe we need to be realistic about when society will be able to fully adopt Battery Electric Vehicles,” he explained. “And frankly, BEVs are not the only way to achieve the world’s carbon neutrality goals.”
We have seen the American auto industry make huge strategic blunders before. The parents of Baby Boomers nearly ran the auto manufacturing business into the ground in the late 1960s and 1970s allowing Toyota, VW, Honda and Datsun to gain huge portions of the customer base here. Now the Baby Boomers running Detroit are poised to do the same stupid thing.

#21 Squawk, I’ve been trying to figure that out for over 30 years, ever since I first heard the term but it just might be that “Improved” is mostly CRAP improved to make it cheaper or just cheaper to build SO they always claim it’s “New” AND “Improved” knowing it’s a lie. My best example is my on-line Vanguard Account. It has been “Improved” at least 3 times in the last 20 or so years and now they’ve got it to where it’s almost completely unusable. Everytime they make the so called improvements I, B!TC# but to no avail. ~SIGH~

Natural gas redux
All I gotta say about the subject is “Boy are you gonna be surprised when it happens”.
A long-smoldering fight over the health and climate impacts of natural gas home appliances recently got more heated when a top product safety official called gas stoves a “hidden hazard” that may even have to be banned and a new study said more than 12% of childhood asthma cases in the U.S. can be linked to gas stoves.
The debate comes as the U.S. and other parts of the world work on plans to shift energy use toward electricity—that’s already clearly happening with cars, but it will almost certainly impact more of the day-to-day items people use.
Oh yeah it is funny. Haha we laugh at the demorats for getting their hopes up. The problem is that once this crap gets started it takes on a life of its own. All of these stories are after the fact of the first story. They all eventually have CLIMATE CHANGE asa reason to ban nat gas just as our lovely government and big portions of the world want to ban coal. (and they will).

We’re still a long way from the end of the gas stove, which is a feature of 40 million American households, or about 38 percent. If you still prefer gas — whether you buy into the gas industry’s clever marketing, simply think it cooks better than induction, or can’t afford to swap for induction — no one is about to force you to give it up. But in addition to the climate case for becoming less reliant on gas, there is growing concern about the potential health risks of gas as a source of indoor air pollution. That worrying science is the very reason the CPSC is looking at the machine in the first place.
Bon Appétit has the most comprehensive story that makes my point about just how far this argument has already come and illustrates the trajectory we are on to the banning of gas. CLICK THE LINK AND RTWDT
-
There is “no evidence of an association between the use of gas as a cooking fuel and either asthma symptoms or asthma diagnosis,” according to a 2013 International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood study that sampled 500,000 children worldwide. A 2012 Energy Department-funded study found that the emissions generated from cooking are considerably greater than what is generated from natural gas stoves themselves; for example, cooking with olive oil generates over 11 times more emissions per hour than what is produced from a gas stove alone.
These people are bald-faced, shameless liars.
A recent study that linked gas-burning stoves to childhood asthma cases was backed by two nonprofits that are pushing for Americans to adopt electric stoves.
and,
RMI, which used the study to promote stove electrification, has received millions in donations from Breakthrough Energy, a green energy investment firm founded by Bill Gates, as well as the Bezos Earth Fund and Bloomberg Philanthropies, according to the RMI 2022 donors report.
The whole thing was a PR stunt that blew up in their faces.

This was no stunt. It was a serious attempt to limit gas. Iy has all the hallmarks of what we have seen occurring with other fossil fuels. Toss out the health of our kids, then climate change on and on. Not to mention we see the same perpetrators time after time and the agenda is always the same. These globalist want to put us in a box that they control. They set up the crisis and then provide the solution.

This is a typical PR campaign to convince the public they are going to die from using their gas stoves. You and I know it is all a complete lie, but we’ve seen this game played over and over again by the Left.
I will not predict whether they will be successful or not. Maybe they will and maybe they won’t.
I don’t surrender to every absurd attempt by the Left to ruin our lives as if it were a fait accompli. Just because a group of billionaires are funding a PR project doesn’t mean they get what they just because they want it.
You and I will have to agree to disagree on that point.

So what do you intend to do about all the insanity and crazy lies proposed by the leftists? It comes as no surprise what they are doing and saying as their ultimate goals have been clear for some time. Every time they fail they just repackage the failure and put it out there again under some new pretense they have invented. Remember not that long ago when we ridiculed AOC and her Green Nude Eel? Well, it’s law now, just under a different name. So seriously, what’s the plan to combat this tomfoolery and turn it around.

Can you believe we live in a country where this happens ?

I can’t wait for the time when they get us off of all fossil fuels and onto electric only everything.
Then what? Will suddenly electricity be a danger to our health? It emits photons which have been proven to cause blindness if exposure is too great? The invisible energy waves that permeate our bodies cause hangnails, cancer, and post-menopausal and post-partum mood swings?
Because it’s not about our health. It’s about control.

My dear, I fear you are only looking at the tip of the iceberg…. After all, it’s not like electricity grows on trees. And every method I can think of that is currently used to generate it has a big anti-environmental friendly aspect to it in the view of at least one (if not a whole bunch more) group.
I fear that “they” won’t be happy until “they get us off” of this planet – after all, us plebes that pollute everything don’t really deserve to pollute the air by exhaling, do we???

The gas stove hoax was nothing but that: a hoax. I look at it as ‘wire testing’ they are always trying to see how far they can push the envelope before they get serious push back. The leftward ratcheting of the Overton Window.
The left are a bunch of violently evil, twisted, lying, spawn of satan and need to be treated as such. I view them as sub human. They want to first enslave us, then kill us. In order to enslave us, they first have to have control over all aspects of our lives and that is what they have been diligently attempting for the last 50 years. It would be really nifty if the Rs would simply recognize the Ds for what they are and stop attempting to make compromise with evil. The Rs need to be reprogrammed to destroy evil, just as the evil left are attempting to do to we normals.

There is speculation that all of this is coming out now so that they can push Biden out; he and Crack Hunter have become to much of a distraction and drags on what the evil want to accomplish.

Sixteen years ago, nobody in America thought citizens in 26 states would be walking around armed and open carry without a permit in 2023. It was assumed the assault on the Second Amendment would continue until most or all guns were outlawed. Then came the Heller vs DC and McDonald vs Chicago decisions from SCOTUS and many state legislative and legal moves across the country.
Five years ago, nobody in the USA thought abortion would be illegal in 25 states. No one thought Roe vs Wade would ever be overturned.
Life in America doesn’t always lurch left, but sometimes it takes years to claw back your rights. If we didn’t have a remnant of people who refuse to give in and give up to the chattering bimbos of the MSM and academia, the Right would have rolled over and be living in a socialist nation by now.

Cats would never do this.
“That one time I was 8 months pregnant and my dog was trying to tell me something was wrong and I didn’t realize it,” Brittany’s video begins.
We then see Charlie excitedly licking his human mom’s face, sniffing her belly and wedging himself under her arms.
Charlie then sits tensely before Brittany, panting and displaying whale eyes — a dog communication in which they display the whites of their eyes, often indicating they are anxious or stressed.
After sniffing intently at Brittany’s belly, Charlie paws at her foot and calf until finally nudging his way under her leg, elevating it. When Brittany puts her foot back flat on the floor, the pup repeats the motion, wedging himself under her leg to prop it back up again.
Spurred by Charlie’s unusual behavior, Brittany made an urgent doctor’s appointment — where it was discovered that her dog’s medical instincts were right on the money.

Also, in a stunning and unexpected moment, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell said all the talk about ESG was a dumb idea.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell cautioned that institutions like the Fed must ‘resist the temptation’ to try and tackle social issues such as climate change in a speech in Sweden Tuesday.
Powell, 69, gave his remarks to a forum on central bank independence sponsored by the Swedish central bank.
The Federal Reserve’s independence from political influence is central to its ability to battle inflation, but requires it stay out of issues like climate change that are beyond its congressionally established mandate.
‘Taking on new goals, however worthy,’ such as climate or social policy, he said, ‘without a clear statutory mandate would undermine the case for our independence.’
Interesting that Powell admits the “climate change” issue is political and not scientific.

Is it just me, or is Shriner’s hospital spending a fortune on advertising? I am so burned out that I get a visceral reaction and immediately go for the mute button.
St. Jude’s and ASPCA commercials are also found aplenty, but the Shriner ads are just nauseating now.
Personally, I’d never donate to anything related to the Freemasons, which Shriner is.
I’m hoping that some time in the not so distant future, when the holiday season is smaller in the rearview mirror, the tempo and length of the ads will begin to wane.

Here is a strange story.
Alexanda Kotey, nicknamed ‘Jihadi George’, was one of four militants in Syria who tortured, held for ransom and eventually behead Western hostages.
The terrorist, who grew up in London, pleaded guilty to the murders of journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and aid workers Kayla Mueller and Peter Kassig in 2021, and was sentenced to life behind bars.
There are fears he may be helping US intelligence services with information on his Isis colleagues in an attempt to get out of jail.
As part of his plea deal, which sets a mandatory minimum sentence of life without parole, he would be eligible to be transferred to the UK to face charges there after 15 years.
This isn’t the first murdering creep to disappear mysteriously from American prisons recently.
A cartel leader and hitman fond of videotaping torture sessions and decapitating likely dozens of enemies has gone missing from a federal prison in Florida, where he was serving a 49-year sentence.
As of November, Edgar Valdez-Villareal, a Mexican American cartel leader, had been mysteriously removed from the federal Bureau of Prisons website. He is now listed as “not in BOP custody” even though his release date is not until July 27, 2056.
Valdez-Villareal, 49, is known by his underworld moniker “La Barbie,” and headed up the Los Negros, an enforcement group of the Beltran Leyva cartel — one of Mexico’s most ruthless underworld groups. At one point, he was a top lieutenant for the Sinaloa Cartel, run by convicted drug dealer Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman-Loera.

We are considered Magnolia but actually in Waller County. I had heard she worked at Chepes Meat Market just outside the subdivision, just saw her picture a few minutes ago and figured out who she was. I knew her pretty good, sweet as could be, and always joked around with me. Couldn’t have been over four feet tall.

We agree on almost all things. I too keep an eye on the WEF, Soros, Bloomberg, Bezos and Gates. They are trying very hard to throw as much money as possible behind all their evil ideas. Some days it seems relentless.
The only thing we disagree about is the inevitability of all these New World Order goals coming about. I don’t believe it has to be, but others differ and I understand why.

You should hear Salcedo on that topic. He ranted this morning on his radio show, and he had a segment on the demoncrat chairmanships on his Newsmax TV show.
I don’t think livid covers his reaction.

I just fixed up some honey mustard chicken in my Dutch oven and put it in the oven. Where is June Clever when you need her? 😉
-
Here’s are Corvettes with
trunkshatch backs.Insert dreaded acronym here. 😉
-
Warming up chicken n dumplins I had froze. Thought there was some leftover beef stew froze too, but nope.
-
We’re having chicken pot pies because the heat from the oven seemed like a good way to help knock the chill off… I guess that’s an advantage of having a “great room” – the oven is in one end of the large room where we dwell during waking hours – I also don’t have to go too far to check on what’s cookin’ 😉 … And Marie Callender makes some that are really awesome – not like the “Tip Top” ones I grew up on… LOL
-
My #52 After careful review of the tape it has come to my attention that YES indeed some of the new Vette’s DO have a rudimentary “Trunk” SO! I stand corrected, ole Dave was WRONG! and yes I know this is rare. 😉
That said; Biden’s 67 Sting Ray doesn’t have a trunk OR a hatchback.

Squawk is certainly right about the world being run by imbeciles. I thought Jamie Diamond was supposed to be a genius.
JPMorgan Chase on Thursday shuttered the website for a college financial aid platform that it paid $175 million for, and is suing the 30-year-old founder for allegedly fabricating nearly 4 million fake user accounts, which she used to entice the bank in mid-2021.
oh, but what the hell ?
The company, ‘Frank’, was founded by former CEO Charlie Javice in 2016. It offered software to help young Americans obtain financial aid in what Javice framed as “an Amazon for higher education,” and had the backing of billionaire Marc Rowan – the company’s lead investor. JPMorgan touted the Sept. 2021 deal as giving it the “fastest-growing college financial planning platform” used by over 5 million students at 6,000 institutions.
As part of the acquisition, Javice joined JPMorgan.
But months after the transaction closed, JPMorgan says it discovered the fabricated accounts after sending out emails to a batch of 400,000 Frank customers – with around 70% of them bouncing back, according to according to a lawsuit filed in December in US District Court in Delaware, CNBC reports.
The lawsuit claims that Javice pitched the bank on the “lie” that over 4 million users had signed up to use Frank to apply for federal aid. When the bank asked for proof during due diligence, Javice allegedly fabricated an enormous list of “fake customers – a list of names, addresses, dates of birth, and other personal information for 4.265 million ‘students’ who did not actually exist.”
In reality, Frank had less than 300,000 customer accounts at the time, according to the lawsuit.
This is a 30 year old chick out of nowhere who conned one of the biggest banks in the world out of 175 extra large. Unbelievable.

Supposedly, great rooms and open concept floor plans are becoming déclassé and they’re starting to chop up floor plans into little rooms again.
Not for me. Ever. I’ve lived in houses like that.
Claustrophobia sucks.

This might be the year to replace a desktop CPU if you need one. The COVID lockdown boom has evaporated and businesses are holding off on new enterprise platform buys. I’ve never gotten used to the laptop thing and I don’t need portability like others do. I like my desktop setup just fine, but this garbage HP unit Her Highness struggles on has got to go.
The PC bust cycle will extend well into 2023 and might not see a turnaround until 2024. The pandemic-era demand has mostly evaporated as consumers and companies delay purchases.
The hangover for the PC market has been well underway for the last two quarters. A note from Gartner Inc. shows worldwide shipments of PCs fell 29% in the fourth quarter from a year ago. Another report from International Data Corp. confirmed the pandemic-era computer boom is over for now.
and,
IDC said Dell Technologies recorded the most significant decline in PC shipments for the year. Other PC brands that recorded shipment declines were Lenovo, HP, Apple, and Asus.

I’ve always liked the open concept…to a point. What became a problem during the lockdowns was the lack of privacy in families with several children. The father trying to do work at home, Sally doing homework, Johnny playing online games, Mary playing TicToc and Mom on the phone and cooking – all in one big extended room. A lot of families (smart ones) don’t let their kids use computers alone in their rooms.
I think there’s a compromise to be had for families with several members. Of course, the couple whose kids are gone and don’t have to deal with it can open concept all they want.

I am working on the security certificate.
Just so everyone knows.

The only room of our house that is “open concept” is the “great room” (living/dining/kitchen)… The rest is regular – and when we added on the “mother-in-law apartment” for Sqauwk’s mom, it added a second living area, bedroom and bath… what WAS the back-window over the kitchen sink now looks in to the 2nd living area – which let Mom relax in her living room, and I could watch her tv thru the window while washing dishes… then join the gang in there when I got done
-
I foolishly TRIED to post the lengthy cert linky in here….
Which went over like a Led Zepplin 🙂
-
Squawk is working on it now
-
Open concept homes certainly feel more spacious. There are times when we women would prefer the privacy of a closed in kitchen so we can talk and hide the dirty dishes.
-
#62 Tedtam – you got that right… but it is nice to be able to keep an ear on the canner jiggler, and still watch tv or mess with my computer while canning and/or cooking… And since I’ve used my dishwasher as a dish rack almost since day #1, I just have to wash the dishes, or ignore them LOL
-
The security certificate should be okie dokie. We are renewed with Bluehost for another year. Yup another year of happy blogging and me and Texpat arguing. (love ya Texpat, I keed).

An enclosed, sweaty, hot-box kitchen. That’s the ticket!

Shannon – my favorite aunt/second mother had a kitchen where if one were really tall and/or had long arms, you could stand in the middle and touch all 4 walls (not quite that bad but close)… There was a fridge, a stove and one of those formica topped tables with seating for 3, because you had to pull the table out from the wall to get anyone in behind it – and you couldn’t do that while anyone was still cooking… but that was the room where all the women (and girls) went any time we were there. I don’t remember having more than about 6 people in there at one time… but I might have missed someone in the crowd ♥

Good to see. Yep, I got all kinds of bells and whistles and alerts logging in a few minutes ago. Checking around I discovered that I can get a brand new curved super high definition 27″ monitor for less than the cost of a second set of glasses. Maybe that would solve the problem and I would not need the glasses. Makes sense to me. Not sure if my old rehab computers could pull the highest of high definition computer monitor though. I’ve got a video card in there so it might, but it’s kinda old too. Msaybe I ought to just get the glasses instead. The way my brain operates, I’d get a new monitor, then I’d decide it needs a new video card, then the computer would have to get a bigger power supply, then the computer would need more horsepower, and once it’s all done, I’ve spent $1500 instead of the $150 that I started out to spend. Might be different if I was a big time gamer or something, but I’m just surfing and posting a little and that’s about all I do, so I don’t need a high powered unit to run a CAD or something.

Sounds like my grandmother’s kitchen.

RIP Lisa Marie
What a sad turn of events. Her mother must be devastated.

Shannon, some of my favorite memories of family gatherings involved me standing on one of those chairs that went with the formica table, so I could reach the cabinet to put the dishes away as I dried after Aunt Lora washed… Of course, I did eventually get tall enough to reach without the chair, as long as I didn’t have to get to the upper shelves LOL… Of course, I also remember my cousin, brother and I “building” a cardboard box “house” between the stove and cabinet – when I was 3 or 4 years old… The boxes couldn’t have been much more than 2 1/2 feet wide, or they wouldn’t have fit – but it was a great efficient kitchen. As an adult, I could stand in one place and reach might near everything except the fridge.

mh was trying to get in a couple hours ago. I told her to clear her cache and try again, so haven’t heard from her.
Otherwise, I’m about thinking it’s bedtime out here. Going to get near freezing tonight after a few warm days. Pretty uneventful day out here. You all have a good evening now. Nite nite.
-
I guess I better go out to the van and bring in my big jacket!
-
mh reports that she is still unable to log on.

Tried to log on around 11pm and thought it worked, but it didn’t.

Yea, it did. Good night everybody.
