Oh, it's going to be rough today, my friends. I stayed up way too late. What was the deal with Joe Biden and his speech coming on so late? The original time when I looked it up, he was going to be on at 930 PM, central Time. He they were two hours late bringing him on central time. He they were two hours late bringing him on. Well, an hour and a half. Whatever. He came on, I think at like 11, 11, 10, 30, 11, something, I think it was 11, and I was exhausted. No, it couldn't have been 11, it was. It had to been 10, 30, maybe it it was 1030 quarter, I don't know. But he came on late, late, and he talked. Well, he yelled angrily for a long time. Oh, luckily, when I came home from work, I laid down and took a nap, an hour nap, so I could stay up. But I didn't think it was going to be that late. It was ridiculous and he was just an angry, angry, angry old man. I was not expecting the anger, I was expecting a graceful exit. I was, I was expecting him to be kind of laid back and funny. I know, I know. Okay, I did not mean to talk about this as long as I did, because you're going to hear all about it all over other places today. Everybody's going to be talking about it. So I need to talk about something else. And I did put some things out on my X-Feed and we are going to go over that. I'm trying to unlock my phone, get over to my X-. All right, here we go. All right, I put out uh, from the new york post, dims, berry and angry, shouting joe biden at 11 30 pm in final disgrace. So that's eastern time, 10 30 central time. It was rough. It was rough. Okay, it was rough. Okay.
Speaker 1:
Next up, hunters descend on the Florida Everglades for annual Burmese python hunt. Oh, I can't stand snakes. My daughter sent me a picture yesterday afternoon and it was a snake. She lives in an apartment and she said I walked out the door today to go to work and I see this fellow, this little guy I'm like it was a snake across the hallway of the breezeway there of her apartment. The snake looked like it was trying to go under the door of the apartment across from her. I nearly fainted, okay, but anyway, we are talking about the Holy Land Wildlife Management Area in Florida. It's after midnight when the windshield fogs up on Thomas, a Cox F-250 pickup truck. He flashes a low smile as he slowly maneuvers through the sawgrass down dirt roads deep in the Florida Everglades.
Speaker 1:
So, uh, you'll have to forgive me. I have my contacts in. I have an eye appointment later this month, on August 26th, hopefully, to get new contacts. I didn't want to wear my glasses today, I want to wear my contacts. So, yeah, I'm having a little difficulty reading this morning.
Speaker 1:
Apparently, there's like a open season for python hunting in Florida, where I guess the pythons breed and reproduce like crazy and they have a hunting season for them. There is no way, I know. There's no way I would. No, thank you, I don't know. There's a different breed of people who want to do that, in my opinion, and I think there's like a girl that does it too. I don't know if she has a show, I don't know she's or social media, I don't know.
Speaker 1:
I'm just not prepared for this story. Again. I got like like three, four hours of sleep last night, so this morning when I was looking at stories, I was trying to find things that were not um biden speech related. So, oh, uh, and then of course this. This story has to start off with fancy talk, trying to create a story. He, uh, let's see the time I can't. Just you can go read it, it's too fluffy for me. They're trying to be all creative and just just tell, just you don't need to do that, y'all, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, this is terrible. All right, we're moving on Millions of pounds of than we know what to do with.
Speaker 1:
For years, rumors have churned that a specific government surplus of the dairy product has been stored in a 3.2 million square food cave system hidden beneath Springfield Missouri. That's a lot of square footage. 3.2 million square feet, wow, sort of like the Hangar 52 warehouse of Indiana Jones fame. Okay, so yeah, is it really that big? Is it? So? Is it true, or has the truth just gotten in the way of a Gouda story? Oh, these people, these writers at the New York Post, come on, all right. The rumored limestone caves are quite real and were initially oh, come on, stupid advertisement. I'm sorry. The rumored limestone caves are quite real and were initially hollowed out for the mining industry.
Speaker 1:
Cornell university agricultural economics professor that's a long title professor andrew novakovic toldad Food and Wine. Alright, you can go finish reading that. I'm just not in the mood right now. Oh, but this next one. This is the last one, and then we'll get to the question of the day.
Speaker 1:
Embattled judge accused of courtroom sex with bailiff cites Sex and the City, marvin Gaye, for why he should keep his job. Oh, my word, this guy. All right, the embattled oklahoma judge facing a plethora of felony gun charges for drive-by shootings, is demanding he keep his job after being suspended for allegedly having sex with a bailiff inside his courtroom. What, wait? He's on felony gun charges for drive-by shootings, but they're suspending him for having sex with a bailiff. Okay. Garfield County Associate District Judge Brian Lovell, 58 years old. There have been so many stories of these older white men losing their ever-loving minds, shooting people acting ridiculous. What is up with that? They're older white men. What is happening? I don't know. All right, garfield County Associate District Judge Brian Lovell, he's 58, is accused of having inappropriate relationships with two female bailiffs, with the judge allegedly having sex with one of them inside the courthouse bathroom and in her office. The oklahoma reported. The oklahoman reported, okay.
Speaker 1:
Lovell's attorneys, however, claimed the married judge should not be removed over the affair because sex is no longer the unforgivable sin it once was. Citing 50 shades of gray sex in the city and popular songs by marvin gaye as examples of sex being in the mainstream zeitgeist. Oh my word, wow, this is unbelievable. I believe you know sex outside the marriage is a sin. Uh, this guy he looks like. If you looked at him he looked like a regular person. These people, oh I just you don't. You can't trust anybody. You can't trust anyone, even if they look halfway normal. Don't do it. They ultimately slammed the state for allegedly attempting to humiliate level to the point that he will voluntarily resign.
Speaker 1:
Level was indicted earlier this year after officials uncovered incriminating text messages between himself and one of the bailiffs he allegedly had an affair with. What about the gun charges in the drive-by shooting? That's what I want to hear about. He did a drive-by shooting. Is that? I believe that's what I read at the beginning of this story. Let's get to that. The woman told investigators that the two of them had sex in the car, the courthouse bathroom and a new table inside her office in the courthouse. The woman noted that she was proud of the what. The woman noted that she was proud of the table they had sex on, but not for that reason. According to what in the world? What am I reading? The affair, oh, I wish I'd have read this beforehand.
Speaker 1:
The affair came years after Lovewell had alleged relations with another bailiff who was hired in 2011, with two accused of meeting up together during work hours. That bailiff eventually disclosed the relationship to a judge later that year and resigned, with a panel of five district judges deciding to keep Lovell on the bench. So these people know his behavior. They've known his behavior. The bailiff from second alleged affair also resigned. So the bailiff the women are resigning, but he gets to keep his job.
Speaker 1:
Lovell has neither confirmed nor denied that he had affairs with the women, with the judge facing charges of gross neglect of duty, corruption and misuse of his position, as prosecutors accused him of a slew of backroom deals in the courtroom and preferential treatment. But didn't I read at the beginning the story that he did a drive-by shooting I? I'm gonna have to go back up there and read that in a minute. His team claims none of the charges represent the real reason why the state court wants to get rid of the client, and the defense attorneys argue that the state wants the embattled judge to go away following his his drive-by shooting incidents last year. That's hello. Why are we concentrating on these sex relationships with the bailiffs. He did a drive by shooting. Why is he not being uh charged with that and losing his job for that? Oh my word.
Speaker 1:
Last september, level was indicted in texas for allegedly shooting six-part cars at an intersection outside an austin tex mex restaurant, where police said he fled the scene and rammed his suv into a woman's car twice. He was also indicted this may. So he didn't kill anybody, thank god. He was also indicted this may. So he didn't kill anybody, thank god. He was also indicted this may for allegedly firing several rounds into his brother-in-law's oklahoma home with a 40 caliber glock pistol back in february 2023, according to the oklahoma attorney. What is happening in oklahoma? Love level claimed his gun was stolen two days later, but police found it in the possession with his bullets matching both shooting incidents. Prosecutors are seeking to have level removed yes, I would say so before his trial, which is, oh, I can't even believe he still has a job, wow, okay, wow. What do y'all think of that story? It's crazy, isn't it? All it All right.
Speaker 1:
Question of the day Do you prefer a sunset or a sunrise? I prefer a sun. I like them both, quite frankly, but sunrise is always beautiful. It's the beginning of a new day, the new possibilities, and I'm usually up to see the sunrise. I'm usually not awake to see the sunset these days anyway, with my job hours and stuff. So sunrise I'm sitting in my car watching the sun come up as I speak. Very beautiful. That is my question of the day. Do you prefer a sunrise or sunset? Okay, gotta go.
Speaker 1:
Thank you for my sleep ramblings this morning, my lack of sleep ramblings, oh my gosh. I'm not going to do that again the rest of the week. I mean, I'm going to pay attention to the Democratic National Convention because I have to write this week for the Victory Girls blog on topics and stuff like that. But I don't know how. I don't know how. First of all, I don't know how people who do this for a living can sit through a bunch of lies like that. Oh, it was incredible Jamie Raskin talking about you know, jay? Sixers wanted to kill Mike Pence. No, they did not. But they just take this, this crap, and they embellish, they lie, they push this garbage out there. It is a circus and it is ridiculous. I don't know how people sit through this and okay, I'm okay, I'm done, I'm done, I'm going to bed early tonight. Okay, thanks for listening and I'll be back again tomorrow.
