Tom Cruise agreed Friday to be in Top Gun 3 if he's allowed to do his own stunts. In his 2015 Mission Impossible movie, Cruise hung onto the wing of a U.S. military cargo jet as it took off and made it onto the plane. Thousands of Iranians are converting to Scientology this week hoping they can do the same thing.

President Trump marked the day after Tax Day Thursday with a speech in Las Vegas where he touted the benefits of all the tax cuts in his Big Beautiful Bill passed last year. Citizens who would cheat on their taxes just disgust me. This is not the world I want to raise my 99 dependents in.

A New York federal judge ruled Ticketmaster guilty of monopoly practices after its merger with Live Nation by restricting competition in the market place. He fined the ticket broker $400 million, which came to 21.95 after fees. The prosecutor admits it was a mistake to book the court date with Ticketmaster.

The UN General Assembly engaged in a heated debate over the ongoing conflict in the Middle East Friday as the war of words escalated. Negotiations offer hope to prevent further shedding of blood. Last night Iran sent peacekeepers to negotiate a ceasefire in the war between Trump and the Pope.

Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz Saturday after they'd opened it back up the day before. Iran closed the Strait two weeks ago, but then the U.S. blockade opened it before Iran closed it again. The Strait has opened and closed more times than a Kardashian's legs at the NBA All-Star weekend in Vegas.

JD Vance was scheduled to hold peace talks with Iran in Pakistan Tuesday with war and peace on the line. The president has been active behind the scenes. Security footage Sunday showed Trump was negotiating with black closed table umbrellas on the White House patio because they looked Iranian.

President Trump threatened to destroy Iran's power stations and bridges if they don't come to terms at the peace table Tuesday. If talks are successful he'll deploy all those Navy ships to Italy for the next war. Trump just warned that the Pope has enough enriched uranium to make 10 nuclear bombs.

Psychology Today said people are capable of profound changes during life as personality and behavior evolve with each decade of life experiences. We're all witnesses to recent examples of change. In 2018 Congressman Eric Swalwell said believe all women and in 2026 he said they're all liars.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reported Friday that the average tax rebate for Americans this year was higher thanks to the Trump tax cuts in the Big Beautiful Bill. The average refund was $3,400. To put that number in perspective that's enough cash for a free trip to the gas station and grocery store.

The Congressional Budget Office said the U.S. will take in a record $5.6 trillion in revenue. It could have been a little more. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar had to drastically reduce her stated assets when her tax accountant told her the IRS would not allow her to deduct Somalia as a dependent.

Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar faces House scrutiny after she filed a revision of her personal wealth from $30 million in 2024 a year ago down to $95,000 today. There's only one way this could have happened. A week ago Sunday, her stockbroker advised her to buy Swalwell, it's a sure thing.

The White House launched a probe into the mysterious disappearance of eleven top scientists with defense and space security clearances. They have knowledge and access to America's top secrets and there's no trace of them. It makes me wonder what they could've possibly done to anger the Clintons.

President Trump flanked by Joe Rogan Saturday signed an executive order speeding up federal review of psychedelic drugs that are helping combat PTSD and sufferers from depression. I've heard that some bug spray can be ingested by people to get a psychedelic high. A grasshopper told me about it.
