Blue Cities, Wake Up

Communist led American cities must be saved from Mayors like Zohran Mandani of NYC, Karen Bass of LA, Michael Wu of Boston, Brandon Johnson of Chicago, Cherelle Parker of Philadelphia, and Muriel Bowser of DC.

So much theft and grift.   The fraud is so bad the average American can't comprehend how much is being skimmed from taxpayers. 

What else is missing?

Montana  FWP operates mostly as a self-funded agency through user fees and dedicated sources:

• State special revenue (about 70-73% of funding): Primarily hunting, fishing, and recreational licenses/fees (e.g., the general license account is over half the budget).
• Federal funds (around 18-25%): From excise taxes on hunting/fishing gear (Pittman-Robertson and Dingell-Johnson Acts) and grants.
• Other: Minor sources like bed/accommodations taxes for parks, vehicle fees, etc.

General Fund (from broad state taxes like income tax) contribution is minimal or zero in many budgets — often under 1% and limited to specific items like aquatic invasive species.FWP actually pays property taxes (or payments in lieu of taxes) on its own lands to counties, rather than receiving them.
Property taxes as a nonresident landowner help fund local county services in the area where your land is located, but not FWP programs, wildlife management, parks, or enforcement. FWP's work is largely supported by those who directly use its services (hunters, anglers, park visitors) plus federal matching funds.
Nonresidents often contribute significantly via higher license fees.For official details, check FWP's budget documents on their site (fwp.mt.gov) or Montana Legislative Fiscal Division reports. Tax distribution can vary slightly by county, but the overall structure holds.

New York Times stories on Henry Nowak: 0 

New York Times stories on George Floyd: 6,397

Britain had a moment of silence for George Floyd.

Politicians kneeled enmasse to show their outrage at his killing. "I can't breathe" became a slogan.

George Floyd died on the other side of the world. 

He wasn't British. Henry Nowak *was* British and his treatment by the police was shocking and negligent in the extreme. Yet there is no minute of silence. There is no coordinated public campaign. There is no kneeling at sporting events.

And we all know why. During the summer of BLM, some people said "All Lives Matter". 

This was treated as the highest form of racism and anyone who said this was immediately cancelled.

Why? Because the people in charge don't actually think all lives matter in the same way. They have created a racial hierarchy of victimhood where a career criminal who died through mistreatment by police in a foreign country with 0 evidence of racism like George Floyd is automatically sanctified because of the color of his skin.

And Henry Nowak, a British man, one of ours, is automatically dismissed and ignored because of the color of his.

This is the ugly fruit of so-called "anti-racism", an obsession with race that has created a two-tier society which treats people differently because of the color of their skin.

No Justice, No Peace

 MAKE  IT MAKE SENSE

Way back in the fall of 1977 on my first day in law school I learned all about justice.

There isn't any.

It's all about the weasels that can weave stories to juries you wouldn't want to be related to.

Kidder, Peabody & Co., Inc.

 

Time for some new lead on my trade blotter................. 

When I trained at Kidder under the tutelage of the late, Lee Solot, Ralph DeNunzio was running the ship.

What an interesting day it was when the venerable Al Gordon gave his talk to our class.

Here is some more on Mr. Gordon.

Albert Hamilton "Al" Gordon (1901–2009) was a prominent American investment banker and businessman best known for rescuing and transforming the Wall Street firm Kidder, Peabody & Co.Key Facts

• Born: July 21, 1901, in North Scituate, Massachusetts.
• Died: May 1, 2009, at age 107 in Manhattan.
• In 1931, shortly after the 1929 stock market crash, Gordon (with partners, including help from Stone & Webster interests) acquired the struggling, Boston-based Kidder, Peabody when it was near collapse. He moved its headquarters to New York and rebuilt it into a major player.
• He served as senior partner, chairman, and major shareholder for decades (until selling the firm to General Electric in 1986).
• Under his leadership, Kidder Peabody grew into a respected investment banking and brokerage firm, known for underwriting, sales, and international expansion (e.g., early offices in Hong Kong and Japan).
• Gordon was legendary for his energy: He made cold calls into his 90s, exercised vigorously, flew economy class, and stayed active in finance well past 100.

He was a Harvard graduate (class of 1923), a lifelong Republican, and known for his integrity, salesmanship, and long career on Wall Street.Kidder, Peabody itself had a long history dating back to 1865 but faced severe difficulties in the Great Depression. Gordon's turnaround is often cited as a classic Wall Street success story. The firm later faced challenges in the 1980s–90s (including the Joseph Jett scandal) before its eventual dissolution.
