  1. This Mother Jones article from a couple days ago has a good bit of info on Trump’s current and past loans with Deutsche and Ladder Capital. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/06/donald-trump-loans-deutsche-bank/
  2. He hasn’t endorsed her (yet), but he does frequently “like” her tweets including the one announcing the Leffingwell endorsement and this recent one here... Morrow’s Twitter is an interesting mix of conspiracy theories (Trump-Clinton-Epstein pedo ring!) and soft core porn with a little bit of libertarianism sprinkled in. I’ve wondered if this is a parody account, but I think it’s actually Morrow. Here’s a tweet from this evening.
  3. Looks like the Austin Monitor called Leffingwell and asked him if it was true. https://www.austinmonitor.com/stories/whispers/leffingwell-endorses-flannigan-opponent-kelly/ “I was asked to endorse her,” Leffingwell said, by “some police friends of mine, retired policemen. I’ve always been a supporter of police and full funding of the police. I’ve got to support the candidate who supports the APD.” Leffingwell, who now lives in Hays County, said he is concerned about the possibility of a “massive cut” to the police department and thinks City Council is on a “dangerous path.” Kelly said, “I believe without the necessary funding we’re not going to be able to change (APD) for the better …. Our city won’t be as safe.”
  4. I got to meet Crazy Ray back in the 90s when he made an appearance at a facility for delinquent youth that my dad ran. Super nice guy. He gave me a whistle like the one that he used at games. It was a little piece of gray vinyl with a piece of clear plastic on one edge. You put it on your tongue and when you blew out air, it made the whistling noise just like Crazy Ray. I wore that thing out. Hits close to home...
  5. Pic of our new bass as requested. It’s a 2005 CIJ ‘62 reissue. It’s been a few years since I had a bass with flats. I liked them a lot, but at the time I also had a second bass with round wounds. I really like the fit and feel of this new bass, and I’m already thinking of selling my other long scale. But maybe having two long scales is the answer. And yeah, I’m not interested in swapping flats and rounds on this bass. I’m gonna be taking it to my luthier to get a new nut, so I want to have it setup with new strings and then not have to mess with it for a while. Flat wounds last forever too, which is another reason I’m tempted to go with them on this bass. I think I’m gonna have this one for a while.
  6. Anybody here play a P-bass with flat wound strings? If so, I’d like to hear your thoughts. Specifically, does a P-bass with flat wounds cover all your bases or do you still feel the need to have another bass with round wound strings on it?
  7. The Beverly MA local paper has an article with some interesting details. https://patch.com/massachusetts/beverly/amp/28831354/jeffrey-epsteins-companion-arrested-in-nh-has-north-shore-ties “Maxwell had been seen in Paris as recently as late last month. It's not clear why she has spent time in the United States as the criminal case was being built against her, given her means to go to countries that would not extradite her. Maxwell's arrest comes a day after a yacht owned by Alexander Mashkevitch, a Russian businessman and Jewish philanthropist with close ties to political leaders in Kazakhstan, was spotted in Beverly Harbor. In 2010, Turkish police seized another one of his yachts on suspicion that it had been used to host a sex party with nine young women, including two underage girls, for Kazakh businessmen. Mashkevich was not charged. It's not clear if Mashkevitch was on board the yacht in Beverly Harbor, which departed Wednesday, or if there is any connection to Maxwell's arrest.”
  8. May not matter if there’s not a season, but I just read that sophomore QB Chris Parson transferred from Duncanville to Red Oak. Parson was Ja’Quinden’s backup last season and started in the state championship game against North Shore after JJ was injured in the semis. He was expected to be Duncanville’s QB this season. https://www.waxahachietx.com/news/20200626/red-oak-gains-soph-transfer-qb?template=ampart
  9. John lives, Paul dies. George lives, Ringo dies.
  10. According to NYT... President Trump is scheduled to attend two events in Tulsa, Okla., on Saturday: at 7 p.m. Eastern time, he will deliver brief remarks at what the White House called a “Great American Comeback Celebration” event, and then he will attend a rally inside the BOK Center scheduled for 8 p.m.

    Bob Seger

    Oh hell yes. I love me some Bob Seger. Still the Same is my jam.
  12. I think the Albert Lee looks cool as hell. I was tempted to pick up a used Sterling HH model in Daphne Blue that was on CL a few months ago for like $250. I haven’t played a real EBMM one, but I’d like to try one sometime. Since we’re posting funky shaped guitars, I figured now was a good time to post mine. I posted this guitar on TOS, but don’t think I’ve posted it here. It’s a Phantom Phantele that my GF got me for my birthday a few years ago. Based on the Vox Phantom, but with Tele type parts.
  13. I agree with this. I was posting the link just to show that it is real, legitimate data and explaining why the number of Cuban adoptions is so low. But I agree that Nestor likely wouldn’t show up in that data anyways. Perhaps because he was adopted after he got here. Or, as has been mentioned, because he wasn’t actually “adopted” by Gaetz.
  14. I found that same info when I went to the State Department’s site. They break down adoptions by country. Cuban law prohibits adoption of Cubans by non-Cubans. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/Intercountry-Adoption/adopt_ref/adoption-statistics1.html?wcmmode=disabled
  15. To further add to the confusion on Nestor’s age, this link from May 2014 mentions Nestor was a page at the time. He would’ve had to be at least 16 at the time, which would make him 22 now. http://www.myfloridalegal.com/newsbrie.nsf/OnlineBriefs/153BACD0C04D7CC585257CCC0060A403
  16. As far as I can tell, this all started last night on Twitter with some guy looking through Gaetz’s Venmo friends which were public. It started with the tweet below, then another guy spots Nestor and screenshot it. People start commenting. A few hours later Gaetz comes out with the story about his son.
  17. Just turned 19. So he was 14 or 15 when he served as a page in 2016.
  18. Tony Ortega is a former Village Voice editor who’s been writing about Scientology for a while. In 2017, he got his hands on the LAPD reports and published them on his own site. Shortly after, LAPD confirmed that they were looking into it. https://tonyortega.org/2017/03/03/lapd-probing-scientology-and-danny-masterston-for-multiple-rapes-cover-up/
  19. Thanks for posting that. I hadn’t seen that before. That video was the direct inspiration for Elbow’s Gentle Storm video which I was familiar with.
  20. This one is glued. You can see the seam in the pic below. I believe some of the early JA-90s were made with mahogany necks. This one looks like maple which is more common on these. And yeah, this is one of the few Fender’s being made in Indonesia. At the Cort factory I think. The pickup selector switch feels kinda cheap, but otherwise the guitar feels fairly well made.
  21. More pron, just cuz. And it has a volute, which further adds to the unique feel of this “Tele”.
  22. I haven’t recorded anything with it. I got it a couple days ago so I just now got around to cleaning it up and restringing it. I’m used to the shorter scale length because I’ve played an SG Jr and an Epi Riviera for years. But both of those guitars feel like they have longer necks because the neck meets the body at around the 20th fret. On this Tele, the neck meets the body at around the 16th fret. That combined with the shorter scale makes it feel kinda condensed overall compared to my other guitars, including my regular Tele. My left hand just feels like it’s closer to my body when I play this guitar. I’ve never been a Les Paul guy, but I’m guessing it’s a similar feel? Here’s a YouTube clip with some nice clean tones.
