Melania Has A Sister!?

Image
  Did you ever notice in Hollywood when there is a dynasty of actors, a family where there is one gorgeous or handsome person and the other one- well, not so much. I shouldn't name names, but I will. Look at Jeff Bridges. Look at him! Aaah, he was dreamy when he was a young buck. That hair, those dimples... And then there's Floyd or Boyd, no, it's Beau. Dennis Quad vs. Randy. Natalie Wood and sister, Lana. The list is so long and it's weird. How did one offspring have this beautiful face and the other was a squiggly version of the beautiful face? I'm bringing this up because I was just listening to the Daily Beast podcast with Michael Wolff as he talked about his lawsuit against Melania. He mentions the first lady lives in the Trump Tower in New York. She has her own apartment, apart from the King Tut museum the orange man likes. Wolff suggests Barron probably has his own apartment. But then he mentioned that Melania has a sister and she too lives in the Trump Tower...

There, I Said It

  There's a word that's been used as a deragatory term for a woman who is worse than dirt. I don't have an issue with four letter words and it may surprise you, I don't normally use them in everyday language. I save them all up for this blog. Except for that one word that makes me cringe because I never really felt anyone deserved it- until now. Pam Bondi - You're a cunt. You are the most vile creature who walked the earth and considering who you are protecting, that's quite the honor. I don't think I've hated anyone as much as you. I will never get the image of her grinning as victims stood up after they were asked if anyone from the DOJ ever spoke with them. She didn't even had the decency to look at them. How she can protect Trump and other powerful men who raped children is beyond abhorrent. She is the attorney general who swore an oath to follow the Constitution. We all know who she bows to. Unfortunately, we're not surprised when we hear in...

Hump Wednesday 11

Image
  Did you ever read a news story that was such a non-story you had a head scratching moment? I saw one the other day about a man who relied on oxygen tanks to breathe. He had run out but couldn't use his landline phone because the snow storm had shut down power! Oh, no, what could they do!? Thank God five people in the house had a cell phone! So- he was never in any danger. What the hell was that about? My Dad in his elderly years relied on a Darth Vader breathing machine. Not a shock since he smoked unfiltered Camels since he was fifteen. But what I found interesting is when the electricity went out in the 'hood, Dad's electricity stayed on. No, he didn't have a generator. Somehow the electric company could keep power going while everyone else's groceries on the block rotted in the fridge. I still don't know how that worked.  Are you celebrating Galentine's Day, Saturday? It's for women or men or anyone who doesn't have a date for the scam day. Back...

Being A Woman

Image
  This is Black History month and I want to write about this woman because one, she's a woman, and whatever color we are, we all have had to deal with womanly issues. Warning to the squeamish: I'm going to write about woman things, like what it's like to deal with the monthlies. Fortunately, I no longer get the visit, but when I did, it was a terrible experience. Back in the day we didn't have stick on period pads. You needed a device to hold that pad in place. And then you needed another device to hook up your nylons, and over that you wore a girdle along with the brassiere. Eight to ten hour days were miserable. It's why woman can tolerate pain better than a male.  Mary Beatrice Davidson Kenner tried to make life a little easier for women by inventing a sturdier form of the sanitary belt- one that was more comfortable, if that was possible, and one that stayed in place. I won't post an image of the invention because it looks like a Rube Goldberg idea, but jus...

No News Is No News

  I'm not sure why I feel tired and worn down today. I'm sure millions of Americans do after partying to the Superbowl. I didn't party. My biggest activity was getting on my stationary bike. But, I digress. I want to talk about the news. My choices to where I can go has been getting narrower due to paywalls. I have been relying on Bluesky for third party news. I realize that's dangerous because not every blueskyer has good intentions, or, they just believe everything they see, like those who are glued to Fox News and post it. The one news source I paid to read was The Guardian. I write, "was," because they sold out. For a very long time they relied on the people to keep them financially stable. Their motto was something like, "We can't be bought! We will stay unbiased until we rot!" Unfortunately, the mold and mildew set in. They capitulated. Bigly. I couldn't read a story with being inundated with flashing ads in my face and there is a disti...

I Was Watching That!

Image
  Not really. I had the Olympics on my telly mostly for background noise. As Ferrerman noted, curling was in progress. What a silly sport. I did watch some kids fly down a mountain and there was some team figure skating. I don't like that. Stop that. My background noise was interrupted with football garbage, pre- football stuff. It's noon and the game isn't for hours. Oh well, back to Bones. The good news, what I really wanted to discuss was the cancellation of the MAGA concert. No one wanted to be a part of it, so kudos, I think. Trump must be shitting in his pants. Not for any reason. He just shits in his pants now, but he's gotta feel some heat. His nasty behavior is backfiring. I asked the question on Bluesky, who had to go tell the orange man that portraying the Obamas as apes was not a good idea? You can put money on the belief that those who wanted an anti- Bunny shinedown also found Trump's disgusting meme amusing.  It's good to see people backing off al...

The Abduction of Nancy Guthrie

 What's wrong with people? Seriously, how do they become so filled with toxic rage? People (I use the term loosely) are enraged because Savannah Guthrie's mother is taking up airtime. The basic thought is, "Oh, this rich, white lady gets airtime when thousands of people go missing every day!" Some are not as kind with a description. Yes, thousands go missing every single day. Over 99% are found safe. This is not case of a runaway, a walkaway, a parent taking a child for custody issues. This is a woman who was allegedly violently removed from her home. I'm not a fan of Savannah or the show she's on. It's too right wing for me and she's extremely religious, so, not my interest. But, there are millions of people who do follow her and find her to be a kind person. It's obvious she had a close relationship with her mother and so what if this woman had a good life. How fucking dare you despise her for that!? She has done nothing wrong. She has raised a f...
