So Rudy was going to speak, for a fee, at a Putin/Russia economic forum designed as an EU counter.  Putin and some of his sanctioned top men were going to be there.  Held in Yerevan, Armenia this year.  Rudy was still threatening to go until he finally canceled.
https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Giuliani-scheduled-to-make-paid-appearance-at-14474063.php

Rudy was there last year.  Wonder how much he gets?  Wonder how else he's been cashing in on his Trump connection.  And what other connections he has to the Russkies.  Sure sends a signal that Trump Admin still wants to be buddies with corrupt Russia.
 Congress might want to subpoena Rudy's schedule since Trump became Prez.

So you think Rudy Guiliani makes money speaking solely because he is tied to Donald Trump?

Wow.

No. A lot of his money is for his security consulting based on his reputation of being “America’s Mayor” post 9-11. He cashed in on that bigly.

Now he makes money as folks seem to think he is consigliere to Don Donald.

Trump is a crook in hock to Russia and Rudy is merely a weapon of mass distraction.

You could see the world a lot more clearly if you’d pull your head out of your ass.

So you think that is the post worth commenting on.

Wow.

George Soros, in league with Liberal telepathic aliens at Area 51, performed a psychic possession of Hunter Biden and coerced him into running a Ukrainian sex trafficking ring and using the proceeds to help Iran purchase Greenland.   I heard this from a reputable conservative news source and find no compelling evidence that disproves it.

The slogan "Make the world Greta again" refers to:

a.  Greta Gerwig
b.  Greta Garbo
c.  Greta Thunberg

Bonus question:  which one of these has an opera singer mother and an actor/producer father?
(slightly tricky question)

It certainly ups his fee and greatly expands who wants him.

Rudy has Trump's ear.
So if you can get Rudy interested in your cause ...
While just getting photographed with Rudy shows you know your way around and can get in touch with Trump's people, and are important-ish.

In this case the Russkies likely wanted to make a show that they continue to be buddies with the Trump Admin.  And they undoubtedly know that Rudy has been stirring up trouble in Ukraine, and is on the side of the pro-Russian oligarchs there.
So he could be a useful idiot.  maybe someone wanted to show off to Putin that they can get Trump's man to their gig.

Why on earth do you think Rudy was invited to Armenia to speak to mostly ex-Soviet folks? 

The topic of the panel he was to be on was apparently bout digital currencies or somesuch.  I'm sure Rudy is on the leading experts in that field and that's why he was invited.


Sidenote: When I was in Armenia last year we nearly encountered their President.  We were touring the famous library and its collection of ancient books, while they were preparing a reception for the Prez.  The Prez' wife formerly worked there, as did the previous president.  Unfortunately we were cleared out at the 5:PM closing time.  Many VIP's had already arrived, but I couldn't find anyone who might hook us in.  We sat out front 10 minutes and saw the small Prez motorcade arrive. 

Later that night on the streets of Yerevan I spotted the woman who organized the event, and talked to her briefly.  She was with a large American woman, who said that she would have gotten us in.  Alas.  I probably wouldn't have gotten any speaking fee anyway ...

Man Accused of Traveling From Missouri to Spark Bay Area Fires Charged With 15 Arson Counts

POSTED 6:58 PM, SEPTEMBER 27, 2019, BY ASSOCIATED PRESS, UPDATED AT 07:00PM, SEPTEMBER 27, 2019

https://ktla.com/2019/09/27/man-accused-of-driving-from-missouri-to-spark-bay-area-fires-charged-with-15-arson-counts/

----------------------

On the issue of Anaheim, and California...

Someone went around our neighborhood throwing garbage and old clothing and stuff on our sidewalks. This is a clean neighborhood, and we need to keep it clean.

And it is important for Anaheim to be clean, and to have a good reputation, because of tourism. We need tourism, it is what our whole economy is based on. There is a little manufacturing and other stuff in Anaheim, but for the most part the tourism is our main source of income here. Over 160,000 jobs are created by tourism in Orange County alone.

So, we need to do things to improve the experience for the tourists. We need to be clean, and interesting, and we need to have the best food, and great hotels, etc, etc, etc, and we have Disneyland, etc. We need high speed trains, a high speed train between Anaheim and Vegas, and between Los Angeles and Lancaster, would be good, and there are a lot of other things that we can do too.

And we need to keep it clean. The homeless people have brand new shelters, and there is lots of help available, so we can no longer have homeless encampments on our sidewalks, etc. We have shelters, and Chrysalis, etc. And we are building new apartments, so new homes are being built.

If I see someone throwing trash on our sidewalks then I am going to report them to the police. The cops are there to serve us, and the cops want our area to be nice and clean too. You cannot beat people up, because then it makes you a criminal, the best thing to do is just to report them to the police.

Of note too, the rest of the USA hates Californians. When I was a kid in Oregon I had to fight because I was born in California. A guy recently came from Missouri to California and drove around in a rental car setting fires, they charged him with setting 15 fires. So, if you see people like that, report them to the police.

We need to clean California up, we need to keep California clean, we need to make it great for tourists, and it only takes a second to call the police if you see people throwing garbage on our sidewalks, or whatever.

Salute,

Tony V.

Mazeltov!  You have grandchild old enough to marry?  We're about the same age, IIRC, but have yet to see grandchildren.   I think my kids are taking too long finding themselves...and don't grasp that they were just a way for us to have grandchildren.   No, seriously, I am happy for you.

One of the things about my spouse that always impressed me was she had our oldest when she was freshman in college and when we met the kid was sixteen and the wife was an Assistant District Attorney.
