Lake, Bake, Wake (Up)

The Schloss-Blog is unfortunately once again having to look at the wake of Kari Lake, even as she gets slapped around by Arizona's courts.

Also, got a gripe with Peacock. And a few other things, as usual.

And congrats to Jordan, my wonderful grandson, on a great soccer tournament performance in Minnesota.

Kari Lake, the unsuccessful and defeated Republican candidate for Arizona governor, has seen her attorneys sanctioned this past week for, according to the Arizona Republic, "filing a baseless lawsuit attempting to ban the use of voting machines prior to the November election."

Problem is, everything she does is baseless, like her claim that she won the gubernatorial election in 2022 (she didn't), echoing Donald Trump's long-ago proven-false claims about the 2020 presidential election. Lake's claim has been rebuffed in Arizona courts over and over again.

The bitchy little former Phoenix TV newscaster spends much of her time now kissing up to Trump, hoping to become his vice-presidential selection on the Republican ticket. You can tell because her lips are permanently pressed to part of his body where the sun doesn't shine.

Speaking of Phoenix, it's getting hot and hotter there.

It has been more than 110 degrees hot there for 21 consecutive days as of Saturday, when that record was set. Low temperatures have not been below 90 degrees, with a record "high" low temperature of 97 degrees one night.

Kind of makes me laugh though when I read reports that the area weather is an advantage for those seeking employment there, especially in tech and semiconductor manufacturing.

Maybe A/C manufacturing would work out better.

Police served a warrant in the investigation of the death of Tupac Shakur, the rapper shot dead in Las Vegas.

Twenty-seven years ago.

Apparently, the man who says he was the only witness, Duane Keith Davis, aka Keffe D or Keefy D, 60, had his residence searched, reportedly for "...computers, hard drives and pictures from the 1990s that apparently show individuals who might have been connected to people directly or indirectly involved in the drive-by shooting." 

Hmm...

Or maybe, is somebody planning on publishing a book on this, what is now the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop?

Ain't no statute of limitations on murder, is there?

Or, as the Jewish rapper, Mickey Avalon says... 

It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder
That God must be one sick mother...
So I bust a nut in the sky
Spend another day waiting to die

No idea if that's relevant. You tell me...

Quick takes:

• The United States is experiencing a huge 12 percent drop in homicides, year over year. Republicans are saying it's because of all the guns on the streets and we need more.
• Tony Bennett passed away. Who Can I Turn To...?
• A Fast Company article says there are seven ways to spot an AI-generated resume - I say there's one - it's too freaking good to be true.
• Peacock stole the conclusion of one of the rounds of The Open golf tournament from England. It is also going to have exclusive rights to one NFL playoff game this season. It better not be a Giants game.
• Jason Aldean, are you kidding?

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson.

More Sunday night on my Radio Free Phoenix rock 'n' roll show.
