Hammering Foreign Affairs: Nothing is Normal Anymore
TAKING A HAMMER TO U.S. FOREIGN RELATIONS
In yesterday’s mail, I received a subscription offer to Foreign Affairs, which is an in-depth magazine focusing on U.S. foreign policy and international relations. Actually, it was a renewal offer, since my old subscription recently lapsed after many years. In normal times, a magazine offer wouldn’t trigger this Facebook post. But these are not normal times.
Read MoreDead & Company at the Sphere in Las Vegas (Review)
At first thought, Dead & Company playing inside the Sphere seems like a bad fit, perhaps even a betrayal of the counterculture cloak worn by the Grateful Dead since their beginnings in 1965 . Now well into seven decades of live performances, Dead concerts have always been known for their spontaneity and authenticity. Real instruments. Human voices. Nothing’s recorded in advance. Auto-Tune, pitch correction, lasers, and stage gimmicks are verboten. Yet, they’re performing inside the ultimate musical spaceship. Music isn’t merely to be heard, but also seen, and experienced.

The Free Cremation Dinner
COME TO THE FREE CREMATION DINNER SEMINAR!

Hey….that’s Dr. Michael Baden!

THREE-CARD DONNIE
Today, precisely and exactly 30 minutes to the second before tRUMP made yet another brain fart of an impulsive tariff announcement, something very strange started happening. For seemingly “no reason,” the stock markets started SOARING.
Think about it. The Dow exploded up nearly 2,000 points, up 5 percent. For NO APPARENT REASON. Nothing had been announced yet.
Hmmm. Insider trading, anyone?
HELLLLLLLOOOOO! WAKE UP, PEOPLE !

REVIEW: THE RESIDENCE (NETFLIX)
There are many things to like and enjoy in The Residence, the new comedy series that recently debuted on Netflix. However, I also have some strong criticisms and a few reservations about recommending this otherwise fun caper to everyone.

WOULD A SLEEPING INFANT PISSING IN A DIAPER BE A BETTER PRESIDENT?
As stock markets are crashing all over the world, I keep on hearing claims of how much smarter Trump is than Biden, who clearly was in a severe mental decline during his final year in office.
