Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, and Tulsi Gabbard: the three witches in MacBeth.

Hi DBT2:

Years ago some of my friends on the Upper East Side attended the various synagogues up there, the neighborhood where Bernie Madoff and Jeffrey Epstein both lived, but I can't recall which ones.

Anyways, both predators targeted or ensnared Jews, particularly Bernie who grifted the "Gold Coast" millionaires in Great Neck.

I have suspected one of the synagogues up there was a hunting ground for these two, but this is only a suspicion.

Growing up, we knew in my family and social circle that the Trumpfs weren't Jewish because of their German name.

And can you imagine any of the Trumpfs dropping a shekel into a pishka?

There is a saloon/restaurant in NYC that I occasion once in a while. One early evening, to my right and back is an NYPD Lieutenant from the Intelligence Division sitting at a table enjoying an expensive meal with a NYS judge. We nod to each other politely.

Then I'm chatting and drinking with Irish and Jewish attorneys at the bar (one was interviewed on CNN over a huge case).

In walks an elderly Italian mobster who was busted in SDNY in the 1990s for operating those phony telephone booths and other sins.

I always joked with him that I lost a lot of money in his infernal machines and we all roar in laughter. He did time at Fort Dix FCI and uses his expired BOP ID card as his "introduction card" to strangers.

Anyways, after relating some amusing mafia anecdotes to us and enjoying the drink we bought him, he says: "'Scuse me gentlemen, I gotta go to work."

He saunters right past the NYPD LT and the judge and approaches a worker in the saloon to quietly collect the money the waiter owns the mob.
