Geraldine should get the $15k back since they tried to steal her share, and the thieves should be in jail. Private sector companies and individuals that engage in the same behavior would, especially if the people involved had the wrong politics.

Actually, she only owed a few hundred dollars. The rest of thec15K was penalties and interest. More theft!

It made me smile to see one of your timeless golden oldies “Hamas-shielding AP”. Make me happy with a Trumpenfreude rerun, “Best of Surber’s Trumpenfreude” or even a special column with all of them!

The article said:

"“San Francisco Mayor London Breed and the city’s board of supervisors were forced to retreat inside after a meeting they attempted to hold in a notorious open-air drug market was disrupted by jeers, shouting and a woman who hurled a brick into the crowd, according to a report."

I commented back:

WHAT!!? I thought San Francisco was full of homosexuals and homeless full of love, acceptance and tolerance. My post was deleted and I lost my commenting privileges for the 2nd time in a week.

As far as Bud Light goes, I thought for sure they fired the woke idiot, Alissa Heinerscheid, who got them in this situation in the first place, but NO they haven't. Now there are actually THREE new pro child molester ads coming out in the next two weeks. I didn't think anyone could possibly be that stupid, so now Anheiser-Busch wants to flirt with insolvency.

As far as the Missouri man who tried to crash the gates of the White House, his case is most interesting. I find it amazing how well the FBI and Secret Service put together a case file on a basically insignificant man. That almost reminds me of how well the FBI and Secret Service put together another background file on another "insignificant" man called Lee Harvey Oswald. "The more things change......."

What's even more entertaining is that the flag was brand new and you could see the folds in the pictures. Yep, got to bag *cough cough that evidence .... the other thing is that in less than 24 hrs, the charges had been reduced. Bet inside of a week, it will be reduced to an 'accident'.

It is the highest compliment when I call you and others Don Surber Clones. He has that effect on his readers. DSC?

6. I wonder if the NeuroLink can be hooked up to President Biden, so maybe he could string more than three words together coherently. On the other hand, it probably would be hacked by the Chinese, and he would do the building of China. Oh wait....

It requires a connection to a brain so Brandon is screwed.

Great summary as always, presented in entertaining fashion. Remember those who have paid the ultimate price in service to our nation. They deserve better than the hypocritical trash running this country today.

I sarcastically voted that I would announce my presidential run while on the golden escalator. In reality you would hopefully announce your run in every paper in US and on every news channel. In essence it’s what President Trump did by way of the escalator ride. The man knows how to spread the news in a big way.

2 - democrats continue to paint minorities as incompetents. I’d be insulted and hate the democrats. That so many still vote democratic says that they may sadly be right.

Don, you do what newspaper people did a long time ago (sadly): ferret out the details of interesting stories. With even the worst events you can bring a smile to our life with your aside commentary.

Item 23

Kissinger didn't lift a finger to get the crew of the USS Pueblo returned. That was accomplished by Rose Bucher and Cdr Alan Hemphill tirelessly pestering the media not to drop the issue.

13 - disgusting. The pair will probably get less jail time then some January 6 visitors to the Capitol.

2: "This raises the question of why minority voters cannot go down to the election office and register to vote? It also begs the question, why don’t they have photo IDs?"

I wonder if the Post has ever tried to answer truthfully either question.

"ITEM 11:... The state seized the condo of Geraldine Tyler, 94, for $15,000 in unpaid taxes and sold it for $40,000, pocketing the extra cash."

I think it would be cool if all (red) state legislators passed a law that said if you make it past AGE 90 (or even past 80?) and you still own your own home, you ARE EXEMPT FROM REAL ESTATE TAXES.

I agree 100% Gail except make the age 65. fyi, Kansas has a 75% rebate for seniors over 65.
