• Daily Variety reported Taylor Swift plans to show up in Kansas City Chiefs team colors against the New York Jets in New Jersey Sunday to cheer her new boyfriend's team. Not everybody buys this romance. I just think it's so nice to see somebody dressed up like a Chief besides Elizabeth Warren.
• Bob Barker will have a block of Sunset Boulevard named after him for his pet's rights work. He was a big advocate of laws allowing emotional support dogs in public places. However last night, two dogs were kicked out of a tribal casino in Palm Springs for totally misunderstanding the craps table.
• Advertising Age reports the ad industry has been revolutionized by social media platforms but the power of suggestion still sells the goods. Last night while watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, I suddenly paused the movie to go buy a Hershey Bar. This is why I can't watch Breaking Bad.
• The Rolling Stones disclosed the legendary Stevie Wonder is playing the piano and singing back up vocals on the band's new album set for release. It so happens that Stevie Wonder married his first wife this week in 1970. She divorced him two years later after she caught him not seeing another woman.
• The GOP candidates participated in a second-tier debate Thursday at the Reagan Library. They remain miles behind Trump. An average of the national polls shows Ron DeSantis is polling around twelve percent and tied with Nikki Haley, with Chris Christie polling at two percent, tied with Skim Milk.
• Chris Christie in the debate way oversold the punch line of a Trump joke and drew groans. Last week in New York, a man jumped out of a sixth story window and landed on a woman walking by on the sidewalk. Now she's in the hospital and he's unharmed. Chris Christie has worse timing than this woman.
• The GOP candidates returned to the campaign trail after Wednesday's debate seeking voters and new donors. The Koch Brothers Network is reported waiting to see the candidates' next fundraising totals before donating. I'm old enough to recall when the Koch Brothers were John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd.
• President Biden drew heat for going to Phoenix Thursday without going down to the U.S. border and seeing the flood of migrants. The Border Patrol reported fifty thousand crossed into Texas in the last five days. It's killing ticket sales for River Dance when people can watch it on the news for free.
• North Korea deported U.S. Army Private Travis King Tuesday who sneaked over the border into North Korea from South Korea in July seeking political asylum from the United States. Talk about demoralizing. It showed the U.S. Border Patrol not even nuclear land mines can stop illegal immigration.
• China's government reported Tuesday it is recalling the two Pandas they loaned to the National Zoo in Washington D.C. I get China's concerns. If the U.S. government shuts down, the zoo guards get laid off, and if I know Washington D.C. it will be two days before Panda Rugs pop up for sale on eBay.
• The House Oversight Committee began an impeachment inquiry into President Biden Thursday. It was all partisan noise. If Republicans moved to impeach Joe Biden's German Shepherd for biting eleven Secret Service agents, Democrats would argue the Secret Service agents still had Trump on them.
• Senator Robert Menendez remained defiant Thursday amid calls by his Democratic colleagues in the Senate to step down over bribery charges. They found half a million cash and three gold bars hidden in his closet and I'm betting no jury will convict him. In this economy, everybody needs a side hustle.
• The London Daily Mail reports that a British Airways pilot has been suspended after allegations surfaced that he snorted cocaine before a recent flight. Suspicions were raised last week when he landed in Sydney forty-three minutes after taking off from London. And he wasn't even in the plane.
• The GOP candidates fought it out in a debate at the Reagan Library Wednesday. The country's mind is elsewhere. Last Sunday Chris Christie was shown on TV sitting in the owner's box at the Dallas Cowboys game, and now everyone on social media wants to know which Cowboy Chris is dating.
• Taylor Swift showed up in KC Sunday to cheer Travis Kelce probably weeks ahead of her whiny break-up song. Stevie Nicks made her exes stand onstage at concerts and play the guitar while she sang songs about what a dirtbag he was. This is the difference between a Baby Boomer and a Millennial.
• The Wall Street Journal detailed the quarter-century-long journey of Google stock Wednesday, noting that a one-hundred-dollar share at its IPO is now worth six thousand dollars. What a ride. This week, Google turned twenty-five years old, so Leonardo DeCaprio will start using another browser.
• The Writers Guild ended their five-month-long Hollywood strike after union leaders approved an agreement made with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. It's finally over. The Hollywood writers returned from the strike, refreshed and ready to destroy more beloved franchises.
• President Biden wound up his western swing in Phoenix Thursday by meeting with Democratic activists. He refused to stop in Eagle Pass, Texas, and witness the border invasion for himself. I can remember when Shall We Gather at the River was a gospel hymn and not Venezuela's national anthem.
• Fox Business News hosted the second GOP debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Wednesday where seven candidates showcased their views and platforms. The incumbent remains resolute. Joe Biden believes in his heart he's the only one who can truly defeat Ronald Reagan in 2024.
• House Republicans produced evidence that China sent a two hundred and fifty thousand dollar check to Joe Biden's home in Delaware. I know how I'd respond. Your honor, the two hundred and fifty thousand dollar check was delivered to my door by the Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol.
• Senator Bob Menendez faced calls from Democratic senators to resign Wednesday after Bob was indicted for bribery. The FBI said he'd stashed away five hundred grand cash and three gold bars inside his suit pockets in a closet. I heard this and just assumed Menendez was preparing to be divorced.
• President Biden arrived in San Francisco Wednesday where he was to address a Democratic Party fundraiser for his presidential campaign. The city's retail economy is reeling under the progressive soft-on-crime policy. President Biden was there to speak at the funeral for another Target.
• Donald Trump was ordered to face a civil trial in New York for allegedly inflating his real estate values in order to get better loan terms Tuesday. We've seen this show. I don't want to say the media thinks they've got him this time, but the Golf Channel just announced that it will carry Trump's funeral.
• Justin Trudeau apologized for Canada's parliament Friday honoring and applauding a 98-year-old Ukrainian officer. They didn't know he fought for a Nazi SS unit in World War II. Trudeau says if reporters don't stop writing about it he's going to put them in a camp until they learn to think correctly.
• Philadelphia police were unable to contain a flash mob that raided and looted high-end stores in Philly's smartest shopping district. I felt sorry for the looters who ran off with three dozen flat-screen TVs from Best Buy. How do you think they felt when they got home and realized they forgot the remote?
