“Republican Rep. George Santos of New York, who was indicted on charges of wire fraud and money laundering, has lost his effort to keep the public from learning the names of the people who co-signed his $500,000 bond, according to court records.”

“Santos was released on bond and ordered to surrender his passport after pleading not guilty to 13 federal charges, seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives. He is required to get permission to travel outside of Washington, DC, New York City and Long Island.”

It’s now out there I suppose

Written in truthful prose

The politician is exposed.

We were born six years apart

Became friends right at the start

***

This older wiser friend of mine

Always thought of me as “thine”

***

Years pass by with disconnect

Back together with latest tech

***

Both now older and wiser still

Hold to each other, a lifetime skill.

“Undecided” is a popular song written by Sid Robin and Charlie Shavers, published in 1938.The first recording was made by John Kirby and The Onyx Club Boys on October 28, 1938, and released by Decca Records as catalog number 2216, with the B side, “From A Flat to C”. Ella Fitzgerald recorded this many times but I like the faster version with the Ames Brothers or this one.

🌸🌸🌸

flowering pinks settled in here

their scent is coming through so clear

dahlia, rose, lilac too, are dear

combined for an afternoon tea

nothing planted that is garish

neighborhood envy fair-ish

soothed by the sharing of flowers

And: NPR: The PGA tour is merging with its Saudi-backed rival,LIV Golf and creating a new entity. The PGA will gain majority board seats and Yasir al-Rumayyan, the governor of the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund, will become chairman. The deal was a surprise to everyone, including star golf players, according to The New Yorker’s Zach Helfand. When asked if the deal is a way for the Saudis to cover up its poor human rights record, Helfand said this aspect “has been a little bit overblown,” and people tell him a golf league can’t wash away human rights abuses. Instead, the league will serve Saudi business and economic needs.”
