Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson battles to prevent the band he founded from performing at a hunting convention where a deer shoot with Donald Trump Jr will be auctioned off This is an intriguing bit of news.  Why does Brian Wilson want to stop the Beach Boys from performing?  They're passe at this point in time. Is it because Brian Wilson, a not all that talented fellow, doesn't like President Trump? How silly can people be cutting off their nose to spite their face? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7965203/Beach-Boys-founder-Brian-Wilson-disavows-performance-hunting-convention.html Brian Wilson suing his own musical group The Beach Boys to stop them performing at a hunting convention in Nevada which will host Don Trump Jr. Mike Love and several other band member signed contract to play at the convention against the wishes of Brian Wilson. -------------------------------------- Oscar Viewership Hits All-Time Low With 23.6 Million First of all, few pe...

HGTV Show House Hunters Features A ‘Throuple’ For First Time Who would have thought that HGTV would be the show featuring sin and sadism?  All this while purchasing a house? They are called a "throuple" or three people.  Could be two men and one woman-not likely-or two women and one man-more likely. Does anyone fall in love with a single member of the opposite sex any more? https://dailycaller.com/2020/02/13/hgtv-house-hunters-throuple/ T he HGTV show House Hunters featured its first “Throuple”, or polyamorous couple, on its show Wednesday night. A “Throuple” is a relationship made up of three people. In this case, two women and a man named Lori, Geli, and Brian. The couple has two children, who are biologically related to Brian and Lori. In the episode, the trio describes their ideal home as one that has a three-car garage, a master bedroom that fits three people, and room for the two children. While looking at a house’s kitchen, Lori remarked on its size as a “...

Culture Kobe Bryant a Rapist? Rush Limbaugh sadness and changing male children to female.

He was a rapist. Deal with it': Disney heiress Abigail Disney weighs in on Kobe Bryant's rape case past I remember this story about Kobe Bryant's rape allegation.  Involved a maid in a hotel.  In the end, Kobe settled with the woman. Still and so, my ageing memory and my intrigue by True Crime recalls it was a very suspicious matter. But really, was it necessary to bring this up at this time?  He paid the price and nothing bad has been said about Kobe for many a year. ---------------------------------------------------- Below, yeah, it was real. https://nypost.com/2020/02/08/is-it-safe-to-speak-the-truth-about-kobe-bryant/ “First, I want to apologize to the young woman involved in this incident. I want to apologize to her for my behavior that night and the consequences she has suffered in the last year.” And concluded with: “Although I truly believe this encounter was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same w...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quit royal life COMPLETELY: There's been so much in the news about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as I try to keep up. Not that I much care, like most Americans.  We don't do royalty in America. The latest, as I am to understand, is that the couple is moving to North America, somewhere, and will make money from commercials and look out for Meghan to get involved in politics. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7902593/Harry-Meghan-LOSE-HRH-titles-REPAY-2-4million-public-cash.html?ito=social-facebook&fbclid=IwAR21aY4Xh0MAlPQTbMeA7kmF_4JPyE9sasMGQRCZwhL2QEJhjrupTH2Bv38  Couple drop HRH titles, will REPAY £2.4m spent on Frogmore Cottage and won't receive any more taxpayers' cash as Queen says they remain 'much loved family members'""" The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are no longer to use their HRH titles and will repay £2.4million of taxpayer's money spent on renovating their Frogmore Cottage home...

Culture: Some royal gossip, fired for Christmas kindness, time for a smile

Diary 1/22/20 The Markle/Prince Harry stories are getting a bit stale.  Although it is intriguing and I tend to look up whenever mention comes upon. Latest rumors, as of this writing, is that Canada doesn't want this royal couple. The story of the kind-hearted bank employee who got fired for same is just sad. My husband was short.  It never bothered him.  Or us. Time for a smile. Queen issues statement on Meghan Markle, Prince Harry after family talks, agrees to part-time move to Canada I heard rumors that Meghan did not get along at all with her brother-in-law William's wife Kate.  I also heard rumors that she is not like by many people. Rumors.  But hey, I share them when I get them. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/queen-issues-statement-after-royal-family-talks-on-harry-Meghan “Today my family had very constructive discussions on the future of my grandson and his family,” the reigning monarch shared in a statement. “My family and ...

Culture Rush Limbaugh and his talking horse, baby powder gorging, Linda Ronstadt wisdom and the Royals want out.

Diary 1/16/20 Came across the picture below and thought it was too cool for school. It's  a pic of my granddaughter as she reads a Rush Limbaugh book.  It's been a few years since Rush was writing these books about a talking horse.  I bought Kaitlyn a couple of copies and she love them. I sent Rush this pic of her reading his book but since he never answered me I am not going to include his link to his books here. Still, it's a cute picture.

Jill Biden Handing out gifts to asylum seekers This is a political stunt if ever there was one.  Who the hell running for president (or married to someone running for president) would film themselves feeding foreigners, in a foreign country even? As the picture asks, what about homeless veterans?  Goodness what about all those homeless in California? This is not going to help Joe Biden's quest for the presidency. https://www.pacificpundit.com/2019/12/24/jill-biden-handing-out-food-gifts-to-asylum-seekers-in-matamoros-mexico/ Apparently the homeless in this country, including their child aren’t worth helping for Democrats like Jill Biden. With the homeless encampments growing on the streets of left wing cities all over the country, but especially in California, Jill Biden decided to head to Matamoros, Mexico to hand out food and gifts to people seeking asylum in this country. What a pathetic publicity stunt. So is Joe Biden running for president in Mexico or Americ...

Culture -Kamala Harris will be president? 2019 in review and predictions for 2020

I will not lie.  I copied these items direct as they intrigued me. The year in review and predictions for the future Here's a listing of the great failures of 2019. 1. Netflix While operationally everything is sound with the revolutionary streaming giant, this year was full of foreboding news. Subscribership plateaued for the first time in company history, and significant competition has reared up.In November both Disney and Apple debuted competitive streaming services, and more are on the horizon, with NBC/Universal starting one in the spring and WarnerBrothers-HBO also joining the fray. Not only is this a threat competitively, but also to content.Disney has pulled much of its own library from Netflix, and that of 20th Century Fox. Netflix is losing the “Friends” catalogue in a matter of days, and it paid a massive $100 million to retain the rights to “The Office,” its most popular show, for just one more year.The biggest challenge is that of the top ten most popular items...
