Grammy Awards drew low rating
HOLLYWOOD --- God bless America, and how’s everybody?
The Hollywood Reporter said Sunday’s Grammy Awards on CBS drew very low ratings, with the postshow buzz centered on revulsion over a devil-worship number and Madonna’s plastic surgery. Madonna blamed ageism and sexism on the reaction to her face. And I thought it was a bee sting allergy.
The Grammy Awards ceremony on Sunday from Los Angeles aired a special segment honoring 50 years of Rap Music starting in 1973. Old timers like me can remember way back in the seventies when the singers pronounced the R at the end of the N-word. And that was in the Country Music songs.
Leonardo DiCaprio, 48, turned up at fashion show with a nineteen-year-old model. Leo is dating a girl whose high school experience was interrupted by the pandemic. Leo refused to attend Titanic’s commemorative re-release in December because the movie turned twenty-five and he lost all interest in it.
The State of the Union several times looked like Parliament during the prime minister’s Question Time, with legislators shouting at the speaker. It was ugly. This is what happens when the threat of Fentanyl in your cocaine causes five hundred and thirty-five lawmakers go cold turkey at the same time.
President Biden switched to a populist platform in his State of the Union Tuesday, drawing huge applause as he promised to rein in Big Pharma, secure the border, Buy American and stand up to China. His 2024 campaign message seems clear. My name is Joe Biden and I approve Trump’s message.
Donald Trump delivered an alternate State of the Union speech simultaneously with President Biden’s and accused the Democrats of deploying the FBI to spy on conservatives. That would explain a lot lately. Last week I called the FBI Anonymous Tip Line and the agent answered--What is it, Argus?
Jill Biden and Kamala Harris’ husband Doug greeted each other in the balcony at the State of the Union with a mouth-to-mouth kiss that lasted a little too long. It was nothing new. When
Jill was in high school, her nickname was Abe Lincoln because all the guys took a shot at her in the balcony.
Fox News reported a survey saying that crime was the biggest fear of big city residents across the U.S. However he FBI was able to report last week that the number of serial killings has been steeply declining the last few years. That’s due to the damn Millennial generation who can’t commit to anything.
President Biden wouldn’t discuss Hunter’s laptop in a PBS interview Tuesday. Joe also refused to discuss the documents the FBI found in his house. The coming impeachment is like a Columbo episode where Lt. Columbo meets Hillary Clinton and then spends an hour and a half figuring out how she did it.
China’s government Wednesday maintained that the downed balloon was China’s property and demanded that the U.S. return it. It was first identified by civilians. Americans are used to looking up in the sky at sporting events and seeing a blimp marked Goodyear but this one was labeled Wong Wei.
Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Seymour Hersh broke the story Tuesday revealing it was the U.S. that blew up Russia’s gas pipeline to Europe on Biden’s orders. The president’s energy policy may be blinded by ideology. In Biden’s mind there are four states of matter-solid, liquid, gas and Black Lives.
Germany asked for and received a written request to send its tanks to Ukraine along with U.S. and British tanks headed there this spring, proving every now and then you just can’t believe your good luck. Germany’s tanks will soon be rolling across Ukraine toward the Russian border with U.S. and British support. The Germans just want to get it in writing so there’s no misunderstanding after the war.
