DEI decimation has made the DC region full of interesting characters who have fabulous tales to tell of their time in various agencies.
One of the most fascinating tales comes from an ex-CIA analyst, Rodigio Enendo. He said that his first name was mispronounced as Rodriguez and was let go for having Mexican heritage by a DOGE idiot. His work had been ignored for unbelievable reasons that were more spooky than logical.

His research had gone back to Donald Trump's father who acquired a simple necklace called a scapula while in Europe from a disreputable underground antique dealer. He was told the necklace had been purchased as an indulgence by the church in Prague and was stolen and acquired by Louis the 16th. Fred Trump didn't believe a word of it but had a run of good luck that ended when he gave the capula to his 16-year-old son Donald.

When Donald wore it under his shirt at sporting events, he always won, and when he didn't, he lost, so he became hopelessly superstitious. As a stolen talisman that was intended for its owner to go to heaven, the longer it remained above ground, the more powerful it became. Donald was convinced that success and impunity were guaranteed, so he ventured into impossibly risky endeavors.

Rodrigio was never cleared to have field agents obtain Trump's scapula necklace, but just recently, Donald lost the necklace while touring the demolition of the White House Wing. What lies ahead for Donald without his centuries-old indulgence is up to him; however, the playing field will be more level. Meanwhile, all construction has stopped at the White House, and a top-secret reward has been divulged to certain workers.

I have my reservation that Rodrigo's tale was more Scotch than truth, but we shall see.
