I’d thought I’d never admit this but we’d be better off with Kristi Noem as the Secretary of the Homeland Security. But she’s on her way out and her possibly replacement isn’t any better by a longshot. Since he became a U.S. Senator after three terms in the House of Representative, Markwayne Mullin has been walking around Capitol Hill like O’Bannion from Dazed and Confused. He thinks he’s a badass and constantly trying to start fightsContinue reading “From Out Of The Frying Pan And Into The Dumpster Fire”

Are Trump’s Days Really, Finally Unequivocally Close To An End?
Recently, the President spoke at a factory mill in Rome, Ga. The news is trying to say that “thousands” of people turned out. If they are included people protesting, maybe so. But pictures don’t lie. There were only 300 max there and that’s being very liberal. It probably 250 give or take. Some people are arguing that since it was held at around 4 p.m. EST on aContinue reading “Are Trump’s Days Really, Finally Unequivocally Close To An End?”
Welcome To 5150 Get-Off-My-Lawn!
This is some property east of where I live about five miles give or take. I’ve past by this property numerous times over the years and and it was just another country home. Yet the last few months, all this has sprung up. There’s razor barb wire along the fence where there’s black walls and warning signs. Even worse, if you look closer at the houseContinue reading “Welcome To 5150 Get-Off-My-Lawn!”
‘Stranger Things’ Ends With A Bang
TV shows are always problematic in what the writers had intended and what the public ends up wanting. Let’s not forget that sometimes an actor’s portrayal of a character never full works out. Or the actor leaves or sadly dies. Ten years ago when the Duffer Brothers (Matt and Ross) were putting the final touches on their first season, they probably didn’t anticipate the cultural phenomenon the show wouldContinue reading “‘Stranger Things’ Ends With A Bang”
Things Have To Get Better, Because We May Not Survive If They Get Worse
For the most part, I’ve always believed it’s going to get worse before it gets better. But the question you always want to know is – how much worse can it get? In any normal society, the massacre at Columbine High School back in 1999 would’ve been the breaking point. But no matter how many predominantly white schools suffer massacres, it seems the powers that be react by doing everythingContinue reading “Things Have To Get Better, Because We May Not Survive If They Get Worse”
One Year Down, But Will It Just Be Three More Or A Lot Longer?
I’ve never met him in real life but Derek Russo is a friend of a friend. At 50, he is a hulking actor and stuntman who’s appeared in Cobra Kai, Bad Boys: Ride or Die and The Mule. He had a big role in the Creepshow Christmas episode as well. But every now and again, we’ll get on a discussion feed on one of my friend’s social media posts. One thing aboutContinue reading “One Year Down, But Will It Just Be Three More Or A Lot Longer?”
Happy 100 Birthday Dick Van Dyke!
I find it fascinating that today Dick Van Dyke celebrates his 100th birthday with none other than Taylor Swift. While it is common for celebrities to have the same birthday, both Van Dyke and Swift have done so much for their respective mediums. Van Dyke was already a legend back in 1989 when Swift was born, evenContinue reading “Happy 100 Birthday Dick Van Dyke!”
Foundation Becomes Uneven For ‘Only Murders In The Building’
Every TV show hits the skids eventually. It’s inevitable. It’s a perfect storm of salary disputes among the cast leading to departures; no chemistry between some actors; series concepts changing over time; and even real actor’s deaths. With some shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Law and Order: SVU, all you need is to keep aContinue reading “Foundation Becomes Uneven For ‘Only Murders In The Building’”
Peace And Love To The Families Of Cleto Escobedo III And Jimmy Kimmel
I know a lot of people probably don’t like Jimmy Kimmel, but you have to show some empathy for the family of Cleto Escobedo III. The musician was the long-time band leader of Jimmy Kimmel Live! On Nov. 11, he reportedly passed away following a long-term illness. On the show on that night, Kimmel fought back tears with no luck as he recalled the life of Escobedo,Continue reading “Peace And Love To The Families Of Cleto Escobedo III And Jimmy Kimmel”
Not The Obit I Was Hoping For, But A Win Is Still A Win
I’m not going to have any sympathy for someone like Dick Cheney. He lived a long life at 84 while cutting many other lives short for his own capital gain. Yes, yes, yes. He turned around over a year ago and said he would support Kamala Harris in the 2024 Presidential election. Just because FrankensteinContinue reading “Not The Obit I Was Hoping For, But A Win Is Still A Win”
