Many unhappy returns on Trump’s taxing day
AFTER years of promising to make public his tax returns and then years of fighting to keep them secret, Donald Trump has finally been made to hand them over.
The Supreme Court failed to back the former President’s attempt to prevent a congressional committee from obtaining his records, sending old Donnie into freefall.
“Why would anybody be surprised that the Supreme Court has ruled against me, they always do,” Trump moaned in a post on his Truth Social account.
If the self-proclaimed billionaire’s tax returns showed the level of success he has claimed, he would be distributing copies everywhere.
What are you hiding, Don?
When an airport security agent at New York’s John F. Kennedy airport noticed tufts of orange fur poking out of a suitcase, it gave him paws for thought. It transpired that a cat had crawled into a visiting friend’s suitcase before the bags were zipped up. Spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein said the agent was “shocked” by the furry discovery, which had been checked in and X-rayed.
“The traveller said the cat belonged to someone else in his household,” she explained. Apparently, the moggy is no worse for its ordeal and is feline fine.
FACT
The original capital of the United States was Philadelphia.
This week, a robber held up a bank, taking $200 (£165) from a terrified cashier.
The 68-year-old had walked into the Wells Fargo branch in downtown Fresno, California, on Tuesday before carrying out the heist.
Sadly for the pensioner, his getaway plans were not the best laid. His zimmer frame meant he had barely escaped the bank before police caught up with him.
A California school is going to hell.
The Golden Hills Elementary School is facing a backlash from parents after promoting an After School Satan Club aimed at children as young as five.
The controversial club is slated to hold monthly meetings starting next month after being created by the nontheistic religious organisation the Satanic Temple.
P.S.
As joyous as Thanksgiving is in the States, it is also a time of great family arguments. Take my pal David’s squabble over his turkey. On Thursday, his aunt told him: “You’re the reason God created the middle finger.”
