Fred Korth William Lawrence Sr Omnibit 4-6-19
It’s a small world. Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Largo was sold to Donald Trump by Fred Korth who was the step-grandfather of Democrat superstar Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke. Korth was the co-executor of the estate of Marjorie Merriweather Post, who was his lover and who built Mar-a-Largo. Korth married Charlotte Brooks Williams, O’Rourke’s grandmother, in 1980 after Ms. Post’s death.
Korth was a rich Texas banker who served as John F. Kennedy’s Secretary of the Navy until leaving the post on Nov. 1, 1963 under a cloud.
Put this in a small world category too: Korth handled the divorce of Edwin A. Edahl in 1948 from Marguerite Frances Claverie Ekdahl. She’s also known as Marguerite Oswald. She was Lee Harvey’s mom.

Val DiGiorgio Trump Billboard
Val DiGiorgio Trump Billboard — We’ve been sent this photo said to be of a billboard in Allegheny County featuring Pennsylvania’s own feckless Republican Party Chairman pandering to Trump voters.
Words fail us.
We thought you were a Kasich guy, Val.
Seriously, how can a lobbyist for Stradley Ronon put the interest of Republican voters first?
And really, this billboard does not help, either you or our great president.

Tallest Men William Lawrence Sr Omnibit 4-3-19
Here’s something you wouldn’t have expected: Of the 10 tallest men who have ever played in the NBA, none are African American.
One, Manute Bol, is African — at 7-6.5 he is the second tallest — but none are African American. Actually only three — Chuck Nevitt, Shawn Bradley and Mark Eton — are native-born Americans. Yao Ming is Chinese. The rest are European including Gheorghe Muresan of Romania who at 7-7 is the tallest to have played in the NBA.
The tallest basketball player is Sun Mingming who is 7-9. He, however, has never played in the NBA. He is Chinese. I guess you wouldn’t have expected that either.

Dems Flip 37th Senate Seat In Pa.
Dems Flip 37th Senate Seat — Well, the Democrats flipped Pennsylvania’s 37th Senatorial District, today, April 2, with liberal Pam Iovino beating tech entrepreneur D Raja by about 4,000 votes in a special election.
The suburban Pittsburgh seat went vacant when Guy Lorin Reschenthale left it for a successful bid for the 14th congressional district seat.
The loss leaves the GOP with a 26-22 margin in the state senate..
Below is a message for help sent by Pennsylvania Republican Chairman Val DiGiorgio Saturday:
Dear supporters, friends, and those interested in the Republican Party of Pennsylvania: We are down to the last hours in one of the most critical elections for the State Senate in recent memory and I could not be more proud of the work our candidate, Raja, is doing to keep the 37th District red. I was happy to join Raja this week as he was going door-to-door in Sewickley Hills, where I saw first-hand the well-spring of support he is seeing within the district. Now you have the ability to help Raja, too. On election day, April 2nd, we are sending an army of volunteers to help the Raja team get out the vote. Will be sending buses from Harrisburg and Erie to go into the district and work to make sure we get Raja over the finish line. If you want to head out to the Pittsburgh area to help Raja, please fill out the form HERE and a member of our team will get in contact with you as soon as possible.
You really aren’t trying to win are you Val?

Prima Aprilis William Lawrence Sr Omnibit 4-1-19
The Poles celebrate April 1 as Prima Aprilis which is Latin for April 1 and hold that every word said that day is a lie. This was a problem when the anti-Turkish alliance was signed in 1683. It had to be backdated to March 31.
