Robbers Steal 2 Million Dimes in Philadelphia Truck Heist


Federal prosecutors have unsealed charges against four members of a Philadelphia-area truck robbery crew who made off with more than 2 million dimes that were being shipped from the US Mint in Philadelphia to Miami.  The heist took place while the tractor-trailer driver was sleeping in a Philadelphia parking lot.

Well, I guess that pretty much explains why the local “Coinstar” machine was out of order.  Seems these damn coin collectors will do about anything to get their grubby little hands on more coins.  All I can say to these crooks is, “Don't steal that dime - if you can't do the time.”  And I do mean crooks.  I mean, it isn’t like these folks were gonna donate these coins to the “March of Dimes.”  Of course, that’s just my opinion.  I’m just trying to get my two cents worth in.

Was it really worth it?  Well, even if these are a pretty good haul, it isn’t like these coins are “worth a mint.”  Besides, this whole thing sounds more like one of those Nicolas Cage B-movie scripts with a title like “Oceans 7/11.”  Hell, I can see some guy walking into a car dealership saying, “Excuse me, I wanna buy a new Tesla.  Oh, and I’ll be paying with that pallet of dimes over there.”  Oh, sure!  Tesla claims its cars can stop on a dime, but can they be bought with dimes?  That’s the question.

Now, I suppose at this point, a lot of you want to know if the cops were able to recover all of this stolen loot.  Well, the answer is, “Yes, every last dime.”  Frankly, I think by now its pretty apparent that I could keep making these “dime jokes” forever; however, I’ve also come to the realization that these jokes I’m spewing are just a “dime a dozen.”  Hey, wait a minute!  Why - I think I’ve just “coined” a new phrase.  Alright, alright!  I get it.  Enough about the dimes.  So what do you want me to do, “change“ the subject?

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold:   Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), has become the first Republican congressman to publicly state that, based on the Mueller Report - the President “engaged in impeachable conduct.”  Rep. Amash further added that Attorney General Barr “deliberately misrepresented” the Mueller Report’s findings to congress and to the American public. Oh boy!   One can only imagine the 3 AM tweet storm that’s gonna emanate from Trump’s porcelain throne over this level of betrayal.  I’ll tell you another thing, disloyalty of this magnitude to the Cult of Trump isn’t likely to set well in America’s trailer parks either.   But then again, what else is new?  After all, Republicans have never viewed reality as being in their best interests.  Now, I have no idea how all this is gonna finally go down, but I do know one thing - Justin Amash is definitely not gonna get an invite to Donald Trump's next wedding....

Self-Described Prophet and Pastor Warns Critics They Risk Leprosy

Self-Described Prophet and Pastor Warns Critics They Risk Leprosy:   After numerous prophecies of his failed to materialize, resulting in various accusations of lies and fraud, self-described “prophet” and right-wing pastor Hank Kunneman of “One Voice Ministries” warned fellow Christians that they "better be very careful" about criticizing "prophets" like him, because "It's a dangerous place, and some of you might get leprosy.” Wow, leprosy?  That’s one helluva threat!  Now, while I wasn’t there, my guess is that it all came down something like this - some critic calls out God’s “prophet” Kunneman for his bogus claims, then further challenges him by declaring “You want a piece of me, then come and get it!”  Then God gave that critic leprosy - and that “piece of him” just fell right off. Now, on a personal note, I’ve also been a vocal critic of Kunneman’s ministry for a long time now, and I can happily report that I haven’t come down with “leprosy.”  Alth...

Nigerian President Denies Dying and Being Replaced by a Clone

Nigerian President Denies Dying and Being Replaced by a Clone:  Speaking at a recent conference, Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari denied claims that he had died and been replaced by a Sudanese impostor or a clone, breaking his silence on a rumor that has been circulating on social media for months. Wait a minute, I think I saw that movie - “ Weekend at Muhammadu’s. ”  And, if I remember correctly - wasn’t it was a Sudanese actor who played the lead?  Who do they think they’re kidding anyway?  After all, I wasn’t born yesterday! Now, of course, I’m sitting out here in California - so I have no sure-fire way to confirm or deny all these rumors, but I do know one thing - if you can’t believe Nigerian e-mails and social media posts, what the hell can you believe? https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com
