Deason built a small private, elevated beach for lounge chairs. Not a fan of the coarse California sand, the billionaire spent about $40,000 to import the Georgia sand found at Augusta National Golf Club …
“Everyone who watches the golf tournament knows it is a spectacular shade of white.”
Pity the reporter who had to pack all of this into her lead.
A Seattle doctor whose medical license was suspended after she participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol was shot and killed after pointing a gun at two people delivering paperwork at her West Seattle home on Tuesday.
Which sounds like a lot. But there’s more.
Tuesday’s shooting happened less than two weeks after Towers Parry’s home was foreclosed on and scheduled to be sold at a Sept. 20 auction, King County housing records show. Towers Parry had failed to make about $24,000 in mortgage payments and still owed more than $225,000 on the home, which she previously shared with her ex-husband, according to the records.
A photo taken of the house on Tuesday showed a large U.S. flag hanging from the home’s front window underneath the word “QAnon,” the name of a far-right conspiracy theory that gained traction online after the 2016 election of former President Donald Trump.
Her pissed ex-husband filed a complaint about her failure to pay on the house:
“[My ex-wife] has demonstrated that she is unwilling to execute the documents necessary to alleviate me of the debt on the Hudson property. She has simply chosen to ignore the issue, and instead traveled to Washington, D.C. to be part of an uprising to overthrow the government.”
… Association. It is addressed to owners and residents, and expresses gratitude to everyone involved in making life in this pricey Florida high-rise so pleasant.
And, for the association president himself, so lucrative: He was just arrested for embezzling over $1.5 million from the place. Over many years. The same absenteeism that gave him a free hand (“He was able to pull off the schemes because many residents were absentee owners.”) will presumably leave this sweet thank you note in a prominent position on the building’s website for some time, a real advertisement for anyone thinking of buying (“May I speak to Mr Arzumanov?” “Hold for the Miami-Dade Jail.”).
Consult this for the many bogus businesses, intimidation of anyone who threatened his scheme, and Dead Mrs Bates strategy, that made it all work…
Dead Mrs Bates?
Arzumanov had rent payments being made out to his deceased mother, despite no building units being in her name.
Norman would understand.
******************************
Update:
During his court appearance Wednesday morning, Arzumanov’s attorney, Sam Raymond, asked Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Mindy S. Glazer to lower his bond.
“He’s not a flight risk, he’s a U.S. citizen.”
… Also present during Arzumanov’s court hearing was Assistant State Attorney Elvia Medina Marcus, who argued that he would be a flight risk.
“He has three passports from Georgia, Russia and the United States,” she said. “He has flown solo. He takes flight lessons. Part of the allegation is that he would charge airline fuel to the association using the association credit card.”

LOL. You know, mes petites, this one’s a keeper. Stay tuned.
“I can say it’s a historical day. We’re very happy,” said a resident. “What I can tell you is that we were living a daily nightmare, being persecuted daily by the board that was absolutely corrupted.”
The local police chief apologizes:
“I do apologize for taking so long, but this was an intricate fraud case, where he took over not just the building, but all, everything going on around the building, every asset used in and around the building. It was a complete takeover. I’ve never seen anything like this in my entire career.”
A postmodern cautionary tale, Да? When the cat’s away, the Russian mafia’s at play. Money + Nobody Home = ‘money laundering, grand theft, racketeering, organized fraud and credit card fraud.’ As long as one prominent pomo status marker is having so much property/travel/business activity/divorce complication/ongoing bankruptcy proceedings/whatever that you’re never there, that there’s no there there, local in-place larcenists will … larcen.
‘Derrick Anderson, an Army veteran, is attempting to flip a blue district red in 2024 after its current occupant, Abigail Spanberger, announced she would vacate to run for governor in 2025.
Anderson recently released a campaign ad that featured footage of himself with a woman and three children – what appeared to be a family photo – in an effort to play to women voters and family values.
However, the mom and three girls are in no way related to him with Anderson forced to admit they are the wife and three children of an old friend…
He … lives alone with his dog…‘

The McHenry County [Illinois] State’s Attorney’s Office filed a petition to detain Reyes pending trial, calling him a real and present threat to the safety of the community, and a judge granted the petition to detain Reyes in the McHenry County Jail.
McHenry County Judge Tiffany Davis later released Reyes from jail [four months later,] in December 2023, only for prosecutors to file a petition to revoke his release after they learned he was arrested in January 2024 for a domestic battery incident in Cook County.
Davis denied the request to revoke Reyes’ pre-trial release after saying there was insufficient evidence to justify the request.
Prosecutors filed another petition to revoke his release earlier this month after Reyes was arrested on an aggravated battery to a peace officer charge.
Davis again denied the request after saying there was insufficient evidence to justify the request.
Court records show Reyes appeared in court on Tuesday where he was expected to enter into a plea deal.
He showed up in court while smelling strongly of alcohol and admitted to consuming alcohol. His blood alcohol content was 0.319 and Davis found him in contempt of court and sentenced him to six days in jail.
Eventually the judge managed to eke out three years, which means he’ll be out and ready to go back to the hospital in six months.
“Indian Creek [Florida] is a great extreme example of trying to pull out completely from having anything to do with the rest of the world,” [one observer] says. “The more you enclose yourself, the more you’re reminding yourself of a sense of risk.”
Worth reading in its entirety.
It’s kinda like the paradox of the burqa; you walk around proclaiming you want to “pull out completely from having anything to do with the rest of the world,” but the gesture is so pathologically extreme that it actually rivets the attention of the rest of the world directly onto you.
Indian Creek has given itself an absolutely magnetic North Korean aura (like Pyongyang, the place is eerily empty; like the DPRK altogether, Indian Creek is paranoid and massively armed, etc. etc.); the reason Business Insider and scads of other publications can’t stop writing about it is because of its nutso exoticism, its collective-insanity charisma. Paranoia being bottomless, the more Indian Creek elaborates its high tech bedlamite withdrawal, the more the rest of us will want to figure out a way to approach it and get a sniff of this Nabokovian Nova Zembla, its superweird existence-loathing technologies, on view right here in the USA.
A lengthy piece in the Chronicle of Higher Education features a Pomona College English professor who thinks an interest in aesthetics on the part of a literature professor is not merely racist, but just about the worst racism in America: Trump racism.
It’s a disgusting claim, but useful to mention here, since it goes to the mindless (j’accuse MAGA racists of considering the formal properties of Liberty Leading the People!) but sometimes effective bullying that exists in more than a few departments/administrations.
The real point of the bullying in the Pomona instance is simply intellectual turf-protection: One professor is outraged that another professor wants to teach a course that trespasses on territory she owns, you see.
After all, if this professor truly cares about the work of Ralph Ellison (the writer in question) being broadly taught to the largest number of students, she will welcome additional courses on him.
DC City Council Member Who Said Jews Control the Weather Arrested by FBI
He demanded only three percent to hand out contracts, a very low number based on the only career extorter UD has known. Her acquaintance, Asif Ali Zardari, was known as Mr Ten Percent…
But, based on FBI recordings of Trayon White, he had plans to expand his field of corruption, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this involved increasing his percentage too. We shall never know.
What we can be pretty sure of is that, under pressure, White will reveal more of the workings of the Jews, which will turn out to involve their having taken over the FBI. I thought it was the Mormons.
The city returns to nature.
