• President Biden authorized Ukraine to fire long-range U.S. missiles into Russia, which Putin said would result in a state of war between Russia and NATO. The White House strategy for victory is suddenly quite clear. If they can blow up the world before January 20th, Trump never becomes president.

• The Hollywood Reporter said movie scripts are being dumbed down in order to appeal to a wider audience to try to reverse the box office decline. It's no smarter in streaming. I came home Friday night and turned on Netflix and I couldn't understand why some young guy was beating up Mike Tyson's dad.

• Netflix service crashed Friday after 120 million viewers logged on to watch Mike Tyson fight Jake Paul in Dallas. It didn't turn out the way Mike's fans wanted. Mike Tyson looked so old and tired and clearly past his prime that in the eighth round the promoter tried to replace him with Kamala Harris.

• Mike Tyson expressed gratitude after Friday's fight for the stadium crowd that cheered him on throughout the night. He'd trained hard physically and spiritually. Before the fight Franklin Graham visited Tyson in the locker room and reminded him that the Bible says eye-for-an-eye not ear-for-an-ear.

• Donald Trump went to a UFC fight in Madison Square Garden Saturday and he and Elon, Bobby Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard got a roaring ovation from 18,000 UFC fans. The appeal of this sport is mystifying. It doesn't seem normal for this many women go wild for men who finish in under a minute.

• The View's Whoopi Goldberg accused a Staten Island bakery of refusing her cupcake order due to her politics, but in truth the bakery's boiler was down and they couldn't fill the order. Nevertheless, here we go again. Al Sharpton just declared that denial of cupcakes is the civil rights issue of our time.

• President Biden and Donald Trump smiled for the cameras while seated together in their meeting last week. Cameras missed the shot when Biden and Trump bumped heads while leaning forward to shake hands and both said “pardon me.” They agreed to pardon each other and the meeting adjourned.

• Senator John Fetterman said fellow Democrats need to stop freaking out every time Trump does something. Is that medically possible? When operating on a Democrat, even the most skillful surgeon can't separate the hyperbole tissue from the normal tissue without jeopardizing the health of the patient.

• South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem faces a tough confirmation fight after she was nominated for Homeland Security Director. She faces the wrath of animal lovers and I don't understand why. Whenever Kristy takes her dogs out for a walk at her ranch, she's always careful to pick up the casings.

• Donald Trump named Denver oil man Chris Wright, a campaign donor and fossil fuel executive, to be his Secretary of Energy, tasked to drill baby, drill! Wright is a vocal advocate of oil and gas drilling and fracking. Other options for the post included P Diddy, the world's largest user of Baby Oil.

• President Biden and China's President Xi Jinping arrived at the APEC Summit in Lima, Peru, Saturday. Xi received a red-carpet greeting at the airport while Biden was ushered to the back row of the group photo. Peru will pay for this insult when Trump hears about it and triples the tariff on cocaine.

• Hong Kong leader John Lee told Trump Friday not to interfere with China's internal affairs. He doesn't want Trump to stir up the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong with intrigue from the United States. It's a formerly free British colony that's been taken over by China, and so is Hong Kong.
