COURTS CLOSED FRIDAY

 Did you know courts in Miami-Dade are closed tomorrow- Friday? We did not. It's National Pineapple on Pizza Day, or some such other nonsense. 

Did you know it's day three on Friday of the jury deliberations in the Haitian President Assassination case? Longtime and careful readers know how we feel about Friday verdicts. Avoid at all costs! 


A crime against Pizza 

Okay, while we still have time, lets finish up some important blog business. Pineapple on Pizza? We say it's a crime. You? 

Your pizza toppings? Our go-to are onions and mushrooms. We are not averse to having ranch on the side, and we are a big fan of putting our salad on our pizza. There are some new slice and pie places in Miami. What should we check out before we check-out of Miami? 

Enjoy your weekend.

anchovies are a must

Pineapple on pizza is a permissive lesser of ketchup on hotdog. The correct answer is pepperoni and mushroom. And all aggravators, reclassifications and mandatories must be interrogatories on the verdict form.

I know obscenity when I see it and pineapple pizza is obscene

Mami Slice’s pepperoni hot honey and burrata - best slice in miami

Pineapple on pizza is the pinnacle of salty-and-sweet technology. Flavor evident, delicious great.

The first time I ever saw pineapple on pizza was in England. They had what they called an "American Pizza" with Hawaiian pineapple and (ever worse) Boston baked beans.

Pizza is hot bread, cheese, and sauce. If someone wants to put some fruit on that, so be it. But yes pineapple on pizza is suspect and deserving of some comment. I don't understand why sun dried tomatoes and artichokes aren't more popular. Pepperoni and mushroom are fine, but typical.

Rumpole. You made me a millionaire by your stock recommendations. You are so smart.

Hold Nvidia? Apple? Meta? Microsoft?

What are the buys and sells?

The correct topping is whatever you want. I recommend trying a picadillo and platano maduro pizza from Polo Norte.

Rumpole said...

Nvidia reports 5/20. This is the stock to own. Hold past 225. Hold past 250. Ask me when it’s at 300. Apple on its way past 300. All it does is print money with its sticky universe of hundred of millions of iPhone owners. I’m iffy on Microsoft. So much going on in software and AI. Stick to the infrastructure. Chips. Memory. Networking.

You are like the Justice Bldg. CRAMER.

Rumpole is better than “Sal the Stockbroker.”

Perhaps when this blog finishes for you - that you will start writing a financial newsletter. I would subscribe.

You communicate in writing brilliantly.

Please don’t encourage anyone to call The JNC. It’s a joke. Several federal judges and lawyers called about Jason Reding ( before he morphed in Quinones) and look what good that did. They just ignored it because he was connected. Whole process is a joke just as pathetic as Elections under desantis.

To 8:08 PM.

This is Captain Justice.

That was my post you are referring to (not Rumpole’s) where I suggested that, if you have any comments or concerns with any of the applicants then you should contact the Chair of our local JNC Eliot Pedrosa.

I do agree that despite our complaints as to Jason Reding changing his name to Quinones the day before he submitted his application to the JNC the Governor went on to appoint him as a County Court Judge.

However, that should not deter anyone of us from calling out unqualified candidates when we have something to share with the JNC or the Governor’s office.

I’ll keep writing about the character of candidates who play the Name Game, like Destiny Goede Alvarez most recently did and I’ll continue to write about other things I believe our readers should be made aware of when it comes to the JNC and judicial elections. I’ve been doing it since 2005.

Thanks for your comments.

Hey Rump. Thank you for all the years of extraordinary hard work and dedication that you have put into our beloved blog. You are appreciated more than you could know. You gave us valuable information on the law, the justice building, history and financial investment.

You added to all of our lives with education, learning and fun. Your knowledge of sports trivia, stock market fundamentals and trends, war strategies from heroes, criminal procedure and movies entertained all of us.

You are truly a renaissance man.

God bless you Rumpole.

Keep up the good fight Capt. Justice. The JNC nomination and the appointment process has become a rigged travesty.

Is Rump Howard Pohl?

Nope

Rump has to be Judge Meek Robinette?

Rumpole said...

I think I did a post about him. Varsity tennis player at UM in the 1950s. Can safely say he will be the last judge in miami dade to be named Meek

Anonymous said...

If not “The Meek One”, then Rumpole must be Judge Arthur Rothenberg?

Calling the JNC is like the Iranian protesters calling ayatollah and thinking it will change his mind.
Utterly meaningless. Rigged process run by Sock Puppets.

I bought NVDIA when Cramer said he named his dog after the stock!
