• The Weather Channel reported that twenty million people from Houston to the Carolinas are in danger of tornadoes and violent thunderstorms this coming week. Every twister has a silver lining. Last week in North Carolina a huge tornado destroyed Pfizer's Covid vaccine plant, saving thousands of lives.
• The Hollywood Reporter noted the Screen Actors Guild and Writers Guild strike entered the third week with no sign of a settlement being reached. There is one silver lining. The good news for people who love classic Hollywood movies is that for as long as the strike continues there'll be no woke remakes.
• Variety reported the Barbie movie and the Oppenheimer movie about the inventor of the atomic bomb opened Friday. The Barbie Doll was first introduced in Japan and by coincidence, so was the atomic bomb. In Japan's version of Oppenheimer, the explosion was edited out and replaced by Godzilla.
• Barbie rang up a spectacular one hundred fifty million dollar box office for Warner Brothers last weekend. Mattel created the doll in 1959 at the height of Cold War tensions that threatened atomic war between the U.S. and Russia. Her first doll house was sold at toy stores as Barbie's Dream Fallout Shelter.
• The Washington, D.C., police department is considering employing AI for roadside drug tests to help eliminate false positives. Yesterday a driver who'd never done cocaine was pulled over on Pennsylvania Avenue and she tested positive for cocaine. It turns out she'd gotten a contact high driving past the White House.
• Cocaine Sharks airs on the Discovery Channel this week about sharks ingesting bales of cocaine dumped by smugglers off the Florida Keys. Experiments show the sharks now prefer the cocaine to inflatable swans used as bait. I guess it proves that whales aren't the only sea creatures with a blow hole
• The Women's World Cup played in New Zealand got off to a roaring start for Team USA as the American women shut out Vietnam. The aging Viet Cong defense let their country down and the United States claimed a final victory. And if you don't understand this joke, it's because you weren't there, man.
• Donald Trump was ordered by one of his judges to stand trial next May in the secret documents case against him in federal court. There are loud demands by the media for judges to allow Trump's upcoming trials to be televised. Dick Wolf could produce Trump's trials and call it Law and Order WTF.
• Donald Trump received a trial date next May for his classified documents case Friday. He could soon be facing three separate indictments brought by the Democrats. I would advise Donald Trump that his best defense is to adopt Hunter Biden as soon as possible and get the Justice Department on his side.
• Governor Ron DeSantis blasted Woke Culture while campaigning in Iowa last week. He stripped Disney World of its self-governing power for going woke. Last week Disney stayed true to form in the movie trailer for next summer's classic fairy tale, Woke White and the Seven Homeless-Looking Hippies.
• Pentagon spokesman Admiral Kirby admitted on Fox News Thursday that the Ukraine-Russian war has bogged down. Russia's lifted its army retirement age allowing seventy-year-old soldiers to stay on active duty. It's an unintended consequence of the latest Indiana Jones movie starring Harrison Ford.
• ABC News reports that July is National Mental Health Awareness Month in America. And it so happens Friday, a Madison Avenue ad exec had to be talked down from the roof. He's been very depressed since he placed a huge ad buy for a sale on Bud Light at Target on Country Music Television.
• Tony Bennett was eulogized as a great entertainer on his death at 96 Friday. His career survived an early dip in record sales. His breakout song I Left My Heart in San Francisco was a massive hit in 1962, unfortunately his follow-up song I Left My Pancreas in Ponca City didn't fare as well on the charts.
