Well Wokesters?

SANITY ON THE HILL !!!!
No, not Capitol Hill you silly person.. … CHAPEL Hill
The University of North Carolina Board of Trustees voted unanimously to dismantle their DEI programs and give that money to public safety and campus police to protect students in the wake of recent anti-Israel protests / riots.
Board Chair, David Boliek, said, “My personal opinion is that there is administrative bloat in the university… Any cuts to administration and diversion of dollars to rubber-meets-the-road efforts like public safety and teaching is important” Now THAT GUY sounds like a Rant Reader !!!!

CALIFORNIA: Think your gas prices are high just because they are the highest in the Country? Well.. Guess what? The already highest gas taxes.. are going UP !!! Yup! another 50 cents a gallon of carbon tax on top of the state tax..
This, of course, hurts the poor and middle class the hardest. .. Well meaning but unattainable climate goals are the cause .. They want 100% EVs by 2035 .. How you gonna make all that electricity? .. If you can’t use fossil fuels, ya’ll better learn to ride horses again ..

Want my Wiener? Kraft Heinz, owner of the Oscar Meyer brand and makers of their wieners, is looking to sell the brand .. If any of you are interested and have a spare $4 Billion you can contact the Investment Banking group at Bank of America..
IN DA SWAMP:
Trump Trial: Is that all you got? Watchers keep waiting for the case. They keep waiting for the “secret witness” that is gonna “make the case” and send the Evil Orange Man to the Pokey .. The Cheeto In Chief to the hoosegow.. and .. It looks like it ain’t coming…
The prosecution witnesses so far have benefited Trump more than their case .. No one has testified that any actual crime was committed. They showed embarrassing stuff about him .. because let’s face it .. He’s done a lot of embarrassing things ..
The latest witness is Michael Cohen.. whom another NY Judge referred to as a “serial perjurer” .. He’s a worthless witness. He went to jail for lying under oath.. So.. how can you believe anything he says? .. Excerpts from his testimony were as expected .. He facilitated the payment of NDA’s .. Which.. is not a crime ..
He will be cross-examined today
If there is no other surprise witness .. and no testimony about an actual crime.. when the prosecution rests the defense is likely to make a motion for judgement because no proof of any crime was introduced. .. Given the past rulings by the judge he’ll likely shoot that down .. and it’s Democratic NY with loads of Trump haters .. So, he STILL might get convicted ..
But.. man.. This is embarrassing to the NY Judiciary and to America.. Never mind the fact that it is backfiring. Can you imagine his blow-hardness is being seen as a VICTIM!! .. Well, He is ..

Melinda is OUT !!! Melinda Gates is resigning from The Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation. She will start, “The Next Chapter” of her philanthropy focusing on women and girls. She’ll get $12.5 Billion and head off on her own. The foundation will change it’s name to, “The Gates Foundation” with Bill as sole chair and Mark Suzman remaining the CEO.
Gotta say .. It HAS to be tough running ANYTHING with an ex-husband. She’ll be better off being the Main Boss and doing it her way .. So.. Good Luck Melinda !
SPORTS:
GOLF: Scottie Scheffler’s wife had their baby ..
The big question was: Will Scottie play this week at the PGA Championship? One of the four majors .. Most PGA Tour players are saying (or at least thinking) ..NAH Scottie .. Stay home with the wife and new baby .. there are plenty of golf tournaments in your future ..
Scottie had said “it will all depend on how things are going but I’ll be ready at a moments notice” .. Well .. as of right now his wife and son are home in Dallas ..and Scottie is in Kentucky .. and he is the favorite at +400 with McIlroy at +750 ..

NHL: The Hurricanes win 4-1 to stay alive .. Rangers lead series 3-2 .. Dallas 5-1 over the Avalanche as Colorado star Valeri Nichushkin did not play.. He was in a “program”.. "Under the terms of the joint program, Nichushkin will be suspended without pay for a minimum of six months and then will be eligible to apply for reinstatement," a joint statement read. ..Dallas leads series 3-1
NBA: Celtics go up 3 games to 1 after beating Cleveland 109-102 .. and.. Thunder ties series 2-2 with the Mavs after a 100-96 win ..

Running: Buzunesh Deba finished second in the Boston Marathon in 2014. But, then the winner was DQ’d for doping making Buzunesh the winner of the $75,000 first prize and a $25,000 bonus for setting the course record. She still hasn’t been paid. The Boston Marathon people say they have to get the money back from the original winner before they will give it to her.
Now, if the Boston Marathon was only volunteers and had no money.. I’d say… Gee that suxx.. But..
They aren’t broke.. They reported net assets of $22.7 million on their tax filing. .. So.. FCK YOU BAA.. PAY HER.. Alas, they won’t. They cite the “get it back” policy that nearly all racing groups use.. (and almost NEVER get the money back)
Enter former Boston resident and now rich Philadelphia businessman Doug Guyer who happens to be a big fan of The Boston Marathon. Doug paid her the $75,000 and wants BAA to pay her the $25,000. He says he’ll take his money back if they ever get it from the other runner.. But, for now, Buzunesh Deba should be PAID.
She is a broke Ethiopian living in Brooklyn and says the payoff is a “miracle”. She will “use it for my children and fund my return to elite running” .. She has no sponsors and has to BUY HER OWN GEAR.
Now, listen up God .. If I win the Billion Dollar powerball I would be doing this kinda stuff ALL DAY … Like this Guyer fella .. Righting the wrongs of the world …Supporting those that were “Screwed by the System” … So.. Yaweh .. Buddah.. Mohammed, whoever you are… REMEMBER THAT the next time the MegaMillions hits a Billion …
Just sayin’
