DUBLIN, IRELAND (November 23, 2025) — We had a very nice, quick trip to Paris: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris, Sainte-Chapelle, Pont Neuf Bridge (come alone!), Musée Louvre, Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, Jardin des Tuileries, Musée D'Orsay, Hôtel des Invalides (Napoleon’s Tomb), Tour Eiffel and Palais Garnier to see the Opéra National de Paris production of Le Noces de Figaro. This was my fourth visit to Paris and, despite my struggles with French in college, I like it… a lot.

The week closed with our return and then the unfulfilled promise of the release of the Bob Young proposal for Flowers Park. Rather than blast Yadira & Co. I decided to wait just a bit longer and see if they produce it on Monday.

I was not aware until the last minute that Rob Rubicco was the name sponsor for the 2025 New Rochelle Thanksgiving Parade. I had written about him a few years ago as part of my Sans Series (Chris Greco, Phil Colasuonno, Rob Rubicco) — total pigs. I set him aside as I was more focused on moving, then getting situated in Ireland. But last spring he did something someone like him should never, ever do — get back on my radar. Here is a tip — do not involve my family in your bullshit.

Over the past few months I dug out the North Castle Gold Shield theft story, teed it up, then waited. The day before the parade was the ideal opportunity to drop the hammer on a truly vile human being. Today, I dropped story number two — Rubicco impersonating a Manhattan Assistant District Attorney in an Eastchester fraud case. He can expect me to now empty the tank. More to follow.

Rubicco called me a couple times a few years ago and his behavior was truly bizarre. I could try to explain it but the audio I got from a real DA in the Eastchester case tells the tale. As with his victim in that case, he kept talking about “deals” he made with me (as if…). Listen to him in the Eastchester tape as he talks over the victim, spouting lie after lie, the entire call is predicated on a mountain of lies yet he persists.
