The Academy Awards Ceremony was held for the 97th time Sunday night at the Dolby Theater on Hollywood Boulevard and hosted by Conan O'Brien which showcases Hollywood's movie stars to the world. This year there were many new faces at the Oscars. It's the same people, they just have new faces.

Kamala Harris was scheduled to appear at the Academy Awards Sunday night and was expected to receive a rapturous welcome. Hollywood's profession of left-wing causes influences the nation's culture and economy. America's egg shortage is clearly a result of too many hens identifying as roosters.

Ukraine's President Zelensky flipped out during a White House meeting and demanded a missile shield and U.S. troops before he'd sign a pre-agreed-upon mineral deal. What happened is obvious to me. While in the bathroom before the Oval Office meeting Zelensky faced a choice — peace or cocaine?

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told ABC News Sunday the only thing that matters now is getting Putin to the negotiating table, everything else is just noise. No one disputes it's been a little noisy. The next day Putin responded and said he's willing to mediate peace talks between Trump and Zelensky.

President Zelensky sought European security guarantees from the EU including placing German troops inside Ukraine. No way, German troops are not allowed to go into neighboring countries for the same reason I'm not allowed to go get the beer. For as well as we've been doing, it's still too soon.

President Trump signed an executive order Sunday designating English the official language of the United States. We all speak it differently. The difference between Americans and the British is that Brits can ask the waiter for the Worcestershire Sauce without sounding like they're having a stroke.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt expanded the number of news reporters allowed in the Press Room. It's a nod to the popularity of news-oriented, free-wheeling podcasts, but maybe it's expanded a little too widely. Last week, one reporter asked her if Elon is a Nazi, and if not, why not?

Elon Musk was interviewed for three hours on the Joe Rogan Experience on Friday. He doubled down on his determination to root out federal workers who don't account to DOGE for the work they supposedly do. President Trump was fired this morning because he forgot to answer Elon's e-mail.

House Republicans narrowly passed a budget resolution Friday that would carve out $5 trillion in tax changes once reconciled with a Senate bill. The taxpayers are at the end of their ropes this year. Last week my accountant finished doing my taxes and I still owe Ukraine thirty thousand dollars.

Bobby Kennedy launched into healthy eating initiatives Friday after Trump declared America is getting fat and disgusting. Retailers aren't so judgmental. WalMarts are now placing mobile cranes throughout their parking lots to lift WalMart shoppers out of their cars and into their mobility scooters.

House Democrats ripped the GOP tax resolution bill Friday saying the Republican changes will gut entitlement programs. The status quo has beneficiaries. Gene Hackman's memory will live on from both his movie roles of the past years and all the Social Security he'll be collecting in future years.
