HOLLYWOOD --- God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Weather Channel released its spring weather forecast Sunday and forecasted a warmer than normal spring due to a lingering La Nina weather condition in the South and Southwest. Personally I can’t believe that it’s Trump Indictment Season already. I still have my Banking Crisis decoration­s up.

CNN says the three biggest newspapers,

Wall Street Journal,

New York Times and USA Today lost 500,000 in circulatio­n since 2020. Call me old school, but I feel a sense of accomplish­ment once I have finished the newspaper in the morning. I literally have no idea when to stop reading the Internet.

Daily Variety listed cable ratings showing Fox News is drawing more viewers than MSNBC and CNN combined. As well, it was announced 96-year-old Fox chairman Rupert Murdoch is engaged to be married. It’s a case of musical chairs, whoever’s sitting on him when the music stops gets all the cash.

Mexico’s President Lopez Labrador launched ads saying migrants are not responsibl­e for the U.S. Fentanyl epidemic, the fault lies with American parents for not hugging their kids. Here in Los Angeles, I’ve learned I can make a joke about anything except illegal aliens. That’s crossing the border.

The White House hosted a luncheon Monday honoring Iranian Americans who are celebratin­g the Persian New Year, which occurs on the first day of spring. President Biden startled the audience by revealing he was long a student of Persian culture. In fact, his favorite stand-up comedian is Sinbad.

The San Francisco City Council endorsed a proposal from the Slavery Reparation­s Board to give every black person five million dollars for humanitari­an reasons. There may be a business motive as well. It’s the only way we can solve the U-Haul trailer shortage caused by everyone leaving California.

Elon Musk said the January 6th protestor Jacob Chansley should be freed after 41 months in jail after new riot video shows him casually strolling through Capitol with security guards. It resulted in a public service announceme­nt. If the Capitol Police offer you a guided tour of the Capitol, don’t take it.

New York City authoritie­s spent Monday setting up barricades at blocks around the perimeter of the city courthouse. It’s to shield the courthouse from angry rioting in case of an indictment. Three years ago, the George Floyd riots raged in Manhattan for an entire week, delaying hundreds of murders.

NBC News reported Trump’s forecast that he’d be indicted in New York Tuesday could be pushed back a week. Oddly enough, the threat snapped Trump into focus and out of his recent onstage rage. After hearing Trump’s last speech, I thought Jack Nicholson held it together in The Shining pretty well.

China’s President Xi met with Putin to unveil China’s 12-point peace proposal to Ukraine. White House spokesman Admiral John Kirby rejected any peace plan. The Fish and Wildlife Service just added the Anti-War Democrat and the Limited-Government Republican to the Endangered Species List.

President Biden signed the Covid Origins Bill into law after it passed unanimousl­y in the House and Senate. I felt pretty stupid after last week’s revelation­s that natural immunity worked just as well as the vaccine and that masks didn’t matter. We didn’t follow the science we followed the television.

President Biden vetoed a bill to ban pensions from investing in companies based on their climate change cooperatio­n. One decade it’s an Ice Age, next decade it’s Global Warming. I’ve been watching the weather a long time and to save the planet, I advise oil companies to start donating to Democrats, too.

National Geographic published an article on unknown species in the ocean and disclosed that Australian­s have been eating a fish that was previously unknown to science. That’s a huge relief. Generally it is the other way around, a fish previously unknown to science has been eating Australian­s.
