From the Old Testament...

2 Kings 2:23-24
Then he (Elisha) went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!”
When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number.

What Happened:
Elisha the prophet was traveling, going about his message-from-God business, when a gang of teenagers surrounded him and started harassing him, yelling insults and calling him “baldy.”

Proving that the Lord doesn’t take mockery lightly, he answered Elisha’s prayer for justice with two angry bears who attacked the group and mauled over 40 of the young men.
If people don’t respect the prophet, they won’t respect the message he brings… and that’s a serious, life-or-death matter.

In this story the bears just mauled them... but didn't  kill them.

Remains found in 1982 are those of former O’Jays guitarist

24 minutes ago

TWINSBURG, Ohio (AP) — Skeletal remains found nearly 40 years ago have been identified as those of a guitarist who once played with the R&B group The O’Jays and also co-wrote a few of their songs, investigators said.

Authorities used DNA and genealogical research to identify the remains of Frank “Frankie” Little Jr., which were found in a garbage bag in a wooded area behind a business in Twinsburg in 1982, said Summit County Medical Examiner Lisa Kohler.

His death has now been ruled a homicide, but who killed him remains unknown, she said.

Little, who was born in Cleveland in 1943, played with the the O’Jays in the mid-1960s. He was not a founding member of the group that began in Canton, Ohio, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.

He served in the U.S. Army for two years, including in the Vietnam War, but not much was known about his disappearance, the Akron Beacon Journal reported.

Walter Williams, one of the original members of the O’Jays, said Little wrote songs with Eddie Levert, another one of the band’s founders, according to Twinsburg detective Eric Hendershott, who helped revive the investigation into the remains.

“Part of the mystery is over with, but we have no idea how he got there, how he disappeared or where he lived toward the end of his life,” Hendershott said.

In Trump's version, donations are needed because of how the system works (to get stuff (done)). "Nobody knows the system like me, yadda, yadda".

If he changed the target of donations, it's because they had something he wanted.

...and if they changed their approach to him, it's because he was more useful as a foil than an ally.

Is the NY lege going to impeach him? Are there mass resignations from his administration? This is pro forma political theater.


Hmm, i'm sure there is that...but also, there was not much voter support. So, maybe they were listening to their constituents (odd and intriguing bit), and posing at the same time (not so odd or intriguing).

I guess it's not what you know, but who.

If this guy had been a plumber he would now be just another registered sex offender, destined for a life of obscure manual labor and perhaps homelessness. His sentence was to a country club facility rather than to the usual American hellhole prison. Instead of a pariah he's a well-paid corporate consultant (don't call him a lobbyist!) and occasional cameo on film and television. His annual income is higher than his congressional salary.

In New York mercy, it seems, is reserved for prominent Democratic politicians.

And he's not an isolated case. Andrew Cuomo is still in office, likely to ride out the storm caused by his treatment of the women who worked for him. Where's Elliot Spitzer these days? No longer hosting a show on CNN, but he did manage a run for office after dodging charges for the exact crime he prosecuted others for as NY Attorney General. Did NYAG Eric Schneiderman go to prison for beating women? No, he's meditation teacher. Maybe he'll run for mayor as part of his rehabilitation process, much like Mr. Weiner.

It pays to be an oligarch.
