God, do I miss George Carlin! The man was not only funny, but brilliant.

As for why Harry Reed isn't in jail, I've been asking the same thing for years! Why isn't anybody looking at this guy? But then he had the graciousness to retire, and now, as Carlin says, no one cares!

And Congress is exempt from insider trading! What a surprise! God only knows what they AREN'T exempt from!

favicon.ico Phil Mickelson denies helping gambler Billy Walters get commuted sentence from Donald Trump

Donald Trump's White House said that Phil Mickelson was one of several who sponsored the move to commute Billy Walters' sentence.

Maybe coming back to bite at him a little. He was named, along with Harmon, Feherty, and peter jacobsen as those who vouched for Walters for his release on the former president’s last day. His lawyer denied everything.

I dunno. If you get off, but think your friend should have also gotten off, what's the risk in vouching for him?

From Phil's perspective, I mean?

 The Feds have been protecting Mickelson all along. They didn't go after him for the Billy Walters insider trading deal, and they didn't go after him for the gambling debt payoff (~$3M). There is a rumor as to why, but I can't confirm it so won't repeat it here. Bottom line is Smiley McGambler can pretty much do what he wants and let others take the hit for him. 🙃

Then why mention it?

I have heard a lot of things about you. Some actually quite horrific. I can't confirm them, so I won't repeat them. Does that sound fair?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Lots of interesting stuff about what a relief defendant is.  From the description of what happened, and the info in this article, I'm in the 'he's lucky to not be in jail' camp.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
