I loved the Eagles with Glen Frey on vocals. The best country rock sound of all time. Goodbye Glen Frey. Your music lives on.

Post by: Renee on January 18, 2016, 10:28:18 PM
To be honest, Glen Fry wasn't my favorite Eagle. Not to speak ill of the dead but when I would see him during interviews, I really got the feeling that he thought of himself as being above the rest of the band (with the exception of Don Henley). He always came off like he thought he "was all that and a bag of chips";...... like he was Gods gift to the group.



Sorry but that's just my take on it. It doesn't change the fact that his death is very sad. 67 is really a little early to lose someone.

Common sense, the truth in the old adage having to do with worrying oneself sick, recent studies confirming that stress has a depressive effect on the immune system, and the assumption that most people who aren't yet brain dead can see what's coming.

A lot of people write great hit songs, they're not curing cancer.  When your attitude and your ego causes enough friction for 2 of the 5 band members (Meisner and Felder) to walk away and say "fuck you" there is a problem.



If you are talking about "Take it Easy" he was as you say, a co-writer, story has it, most of the lyrics were written by Jackson Browne, Frey helped him finish it after JB developed writers block. AND the key elements of the musical arrangement (Bernie Leadon's guitar work and double banjo which BTW, makes the song) was produced and conceived by Gyn Johns. Frey was only one member of a team that put that song together. When you really listen to the song, it has Jackson Browne written all over it, even right down to were Frey is imitating Browne's vocal style.



To be honest, Frey was a great song writer, good vocalist and a mediocre guitar player. The Eagles were probably more his baby than even Don Henley's; with out him the band never would have existed.....But he was also by all accounts, a pompous bully and a cunt.

I'm pretty sure I posted a few of his songs in the "Pulse" thread if you want to fish through that. If not, just look up tunes like "Redneck Friend" or "Running on Empty" or even "Rock me on the Water". You will hear the similarities pretty clearly.

I just threw Jackson Browne's "Redneck Friend" into the pulse thread. It was written a year or so before "Take it Easy" and despite "Redneck Friend" being slightly more up tempo and harder edged, the two songs are very similar.

Glenn Frey was a tyrant, as was Don Henley. The only difference was, Henley was more low key about it. Frey's abrasive and ham-handed control  over the band was the main reason why the band only lasted for about 6 years.



It's okay to be kind of a dick but when you make key members of the band hate you enough to quit.....it's not cool.



That being said, he was a talented song writer who wrote music that was a big part to the soundtrack of the 1970s and he should be remembered for that and not for being the jerk that he was.

Entertainer Ronnie Corbett, best known for BBC comedy sketch show The Two Ronnies, has died aged 85.



His publicist said: "Ronnie Corbett CBE, one of the nation's best-loved entertainers, passed away this morning, surrounded by his loving family.



"They have asked that their privacy is respected at this very sad time."

She won the prestigious Sterling Prize twice, The Royal Institute of British Architects gold medal, and countless other prizes and awards.

I don't get this crap about she's a woman and so it's amazing she can be an excellent architect. I just don't get it. Women are people, just like men. All of us have skills. As a man, should I be able to build a house, or even frame a window or door? Well, I damn well can't. Should it be surprising because the woman down the road from me can? Hell no. If I need some windows installed and she is willing to do them, I'll cook her a damn fine meal for when she's done.



I'd even give her a very nice bath if she'd like, but I guess that's another topic...

Quote from: "Ben Haggard"A week ago dad told us he was gonna pass on his birthday, and he wasn't wrong. A hour ago he took his last breath surrounded by family and friends. He loved everything about life and he loved that everyone of you gave him a chance with his music. He wasn't just a country singer.. He was the best country singer that ever lived.

Indeed a legend. I will miss him, and, he and Willie singing together.

I have heard/read that Prince had a lot of pain in his back and hips. As far as his prescription, I would not know that, norr do I know if he even had a legal prescription. Percocet makes you high in a way, but it's relative. It's not a high like weed or acid, it's more a foggy kind of feeling, an I don't care kind of feeling, at least in my experience. I get dizzy but not fall down dizzy, if you see the difference.



By theway, I have a prescription for them. I've had 4 knee surgeries, a back surgery, and need another for torn ACL/MCL that I am doing my best to ignore. After I walk the dog in the mornings, once in a while my knee throbs and hurts alot so on the weekend I might take one once in a while. I would rather take a couple Advil - not the same, but not addicting, either.



All that definitely cuts down on my speed when chasing kids off my lawn, for sure.

Percocet, is basically heroin pills. You get a euphoric rush of dopemine.  It's oxycodone cut with tylenol.  I got started on percocet.  Prince had hip injuries due to jumping around in heels through the whole Purple Rain era.  Yes, doctors get people hooked on opiates all the time. These pain relievers are what's driving the heroin epidemic. They are opiate narcotics.

I have relatives in Kaohsiung..



A lot of the polluting industries have been modernized or left Taiwan..



Your opinion of a city you have never seen is outdated..



Kaohssiung is rapidly becoming one of Taiwan's greenest cities..



From Lonely Planet..

Today's Kaohsiung has largely been transformed from grim industrial warrens into a modern urban landscape of shiny cafes, wide streets, river- and harbour-side parks, public transport, bicycle lanes, and cultural venues that have embraced the manufacturing past. There are also two swimming beaches within the city area, and 1000 hectares of almost-pristine forest right on its doorstep.



Since reaching the peak of its polluted image in the late 20th century, Kaohsiung has undergone a remarkable transformation in a short period of time. In this post, I want to introduce Kaohsiung's efforts on several fronts that make it an unlikely eco-city leader of Taiwan.



A City on the Rise



This past December, I attended the first U.S.-Taiwan Clean Energy Forum in Kaohsiung, hosted by the American Institute in Taiwan and the Kaohsiung City government. As the host city, Kaohsiung's efforts to showcase its transition to a low-carbon and environmentally sustainable metropolis were displayed front and center. The following video clip from National Geographic's Megacities TV program introduces some of the measures Kaohsiung has adopted in changing its status from rampant polluter to dedicated reformer



Kaohsiung's transformation is reflected in its ascent up the Mercer quality of living rankings. In a recent Mercer survey, Kaohsiung broke into the top 100 cities worldwide for quality of living and achieved 13th place in Asia. Kaohsiung also earned 13th place in Asia under Mercer's eco-city category, beating out Taipei for #1 in Taiwan. Commonwealth Magazine's 2009 profile of Kaohsiung, From Soot and Smoke to the Sweet Life, pronounced the city first in Taiwan in environmental protection.

Although Howland passed away on December 31, 2015, it was her wish for her death to go unannounced, Kimbrough said. She also said that she didn't want a funeral or a memorial service.

I remember when Mohamed Ali first started exhibiting symptoms; they tried blaming it on insecticide that was being used around his house. That was bullshit too.



Many ex-NFL players also have the same symptoms and lawsuits have been brought against the NFL because of it. Over the years the prevention of brain injury has been made a priority in football but not so much in other contact sports.



Boxing is a barbaric sport.........Ali was a victim of the fact that some pretty shady people wanted to protect the business of making millions off of two nitwits, beating the shit out of each other for the enjoyment of a bunch of blood thirsty goons.

I agree but steps could be taken to help reduce the frequency of injuries to the brain and nervous system.



When I played ball in High School and college I suffered at least 5 concussions. If you played like me it was just the nature of the beast. I wasn't all that big and there was always some big bull dyke that thought she could run me over. Unfortunately I don't back down and I got clobbered regularly.



There was only two times (that I can remember) being looked at throughly by a medical professional after the fact. Most times I got a half assed look over by the coach and I sat out the rest of the game. Now 5 concussions over a period of 8 years doesn't sound like much but I have no idea what it did to me or if it will affect me down the line.



We simply do not know enough about how injury to the brain affects people and why it affects some and not others. Maybe getting hit the head and knocked on my fat ass so many times is why I'm so whacky.  :laugh3:

Boxers often end up suffering more head complications in their careers than when compared with MMA fighters because the bigger oz gloves have more padding and therefore more sustained hits, whereas with the lighter gloves in MMA the fighter gets KO'd and it's all over.

"Actor Anton Yelchin was killed in a fatal traffic collision early this morning," said a statement from his representative. "His family requests you respect their privacy at this time."



The LAPD said he was pinned by his own car at his Studio City home. Friends apparently became concerned when Yelchin did not show up for a band performance. They found him at his home pinned between his car and a brick mailbox pillar.



"It appears he had exited his car and was behind it when the vehicle rolled down a steep driveway," the LAPD said in a statement.



Police reportedly told TMZ that the engine was still running when he was found, and that his car was in neutral. It's not clear why he got out of his car with the engine running.

That's the danger of letting yourself get emotionally invested in a forum community or any form of social media for that matter.



The people you start to consider as friends are still basically strangers. Any emotional attachments you may form are generally misplaced and misguided.



That being said, I'm sorry for Kieber's loss. It would be remiss, impolite and just plain cold of me not to express some sympathy.

How do you not get emotionally invested though Renee?



Even on the old Asian American forums despite the immaturity that was the norm on those places, I still became online friends with a few posters..

Sometimes its not easy....but you have to treat the other posters like anonymous entities. Truth is nobody really knows anyone here or on other forums, regardless of what we like to think.



We are strangers and we shouldn't get attached to each other beyond the casual entertainment this place provides. As I said, it's not always easy but its best to keep some kind of perspective and distance.

I don't agree with you at all on this one.



I have known so many people on this board and others for over a decade.  Take me for example.  This group of people has been with me through the birth of my children, a devastating diagnosis, and countless other up and downs in my life.  I have shared the same trials and tribulations with many other here as well.  How can you not be emotionally invested in people when we share so much each other?



Dick yamada and I were really close for years.  We used to talk almost every day up to a year or so ago.  I knew him better than most and I have no regrets whatsoever having emotionally invested in a relationship with such an amazing person.  He was no stranger to me and I will consider him a friend until the day I join him in death.



I'm absolutely heartbroken that he has passed away because my world is a colder place without him in it but I wouldn't trade this hurt for not knowing him the way I did, not for one second.

Quote from: "kiebers"Thanks Renee. It was a good friendship. Wish I had been around in the DV days. Dick Yamada will be missed.

He summed up DV so perfectly:



"It was a lot like the big monkey enclosure (not an enclosure for big monkeys) at Stanely Park in the 50's. Lots of hi-jinks, the monkeys fucking around with each other, and with us rubberneckers, and nobody taking anything very seriously.



That was before registration. There was so much good-natured mindless fucking around, lots of stuff that was just for fun, and if anybody took themselves too seriously for too long, they'd get laughed out of the park."



He went on to lament a time when we were all more free:



"Now we have "issues" - in the "community". Hurt feelings, sorting it out, all that - not so much play anymore."

That's fine and good....we all have a different approach to the community....yours works for you......but I can say with all certainty that it doesn't work for me.



Dont get me wrong, there are a few of you that I hold in high regard and will miss when it is time for me to exit this chapter of online life. But I do not consider anyone to be close or a friend.....to me you are all digital acquaintances; familiar but strangers all the same. I know that beyond the screen MOST of you are real people but thats not what brings me here.



I need the distance that online life provides. In real life I'm required to be a "people person" for my job. I'm good at it but it's forced. I reserve most of my emotional resources for family. Outside of job and family life, I need the disconnection this kind of interaction provides. This kind of venue allows me to let my inner bitch loose for a time with no real repercussions.



Call me cold....call me distant but that's how I am and there is no changing it now.

I did not get into forum life until I hooked up with the old lady. I found something online about white guys and East Asian gals from a forum and so it began.

'Murphy Brown' actor John Hostetter dead at 69

John Hostetter, an actor, painter and musician best known for playing the steady stage manager in "Murphy Brown," has died.



Hostetter died Sept. 2 of complications resulting from a long battle with cancer, his wife, Del Appleby, told The Associated Press on Thursday. Hostetter was 69 and died in a hospice in Port Orange, Florida.



A New York City native who studied drama at Cornell University, Hostetter was an experienced stage actor who later appeared in dozens of films and television programs. Besides "Murphy Brown," his credits included "Matlock," ''Family Ties" and "The Golden Girls." In recent years, he also recorded several albums, painted and ran an art gallery.



He is survived by his sister, Flora; three nephews and one grand-nephew.

I read up on the guy...and tho he was good, and may have gone onto greater things, he wasn't outstanding.



His best year was 16-8, not even a 20 game winner.



I remember when they had all those great pitchers who could whip out a 20 game winning season, no prob.



They even had a 30 game winner in Denny McLean.



Professional baseball like Professional hockey is so watered down now, and the players get paid too much money for mediocre performance.



A player wins 10 games now, and they call that a stellar season, but in prior decades, he'd have been a jouneyman making regular visit to the farm club in Triple A baseball and making peanuts.

The jazz fusion drummer Alphonse Mouzon died today.  He's probably best known for stuff he did in the early eighties with Di Meola, Weather Report, Jaco, and others but he has worked continuously up to this year.  1948-2016, RIP





Also, while this image is far from complete it does illustrate the magnitude of the year's losses.

It has been a very cruel year with a large number of beloved stars passing away, including Prince, David Bowie, Alan Thicke and recently George Michael and Carrie Fisher.

Understandable, but it underscores our fear of mortality.  I speak only for myself despite the plural pronoun I chose.  It's especially challenging for people of my generation, since we are reaching (or have reached) the Biblical "three score and ten" and the raindrops are becoming a thunderstorm.

This seems like a good place to repost a piece from last week.

My condolences, and it's a sweet idea which I'll borrow after this post.  I'll be honoring the Real Elizabeth Reed, the woman to whom Dickey Betts dedicated that Allman Brothers concert warhorse jam tune nearly 50 years ago.  She was the dearest friend I've known in all my life, and a helluva human being...full to overflowing with strengths and flaws.  She died a couple of months ago, of complications from heart surgery.  I'll miss her with my dying breath, and for a couple of eons after that.   ac_crying





Also, one of my favorite Canadians (Leonard Cohen) died back in November after using his deathbed time to put together a last farewell album -- You Want it Darker -- which is another masterpiece, but dark as hell.  I posted a tune from it yesterday on The Pulse.

Chris Cornell, Soundgarden and Audioslave Frontman, Dies at 52



Chris Cornell, the powerful, dynamic singer whose band Soundgarden was one of the architects of grunge music, has died at 52.



Mr. Cornell died Wednesday night in Detroit, said his representative, Brian Bumbery, in a statement that called the death "sudden and unexpected" and that said the singer's family would be "working closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause."



Mr. Cornell was born in 1964 in Seattle and helped form Soundgarden 20 years later. Sub Pop, then a fledgling record label, released the group's first single, "Hunted Down," in 1987, as well as two subsequent EPs. The group's debut album, "Ultramega OK," came a year later.

"Badmotorfinger," released in 1991, benefited from the swell of attention that was beginning to surround the Seattle scene, where Soundgarden, along with Nirvana and Pearl Jam, were playing a high-octane, high-angst brand of rock 'n' roll. Soundgarden's musical journeys tended toward the knotty and dark, plunging into off-kilter meters and punctuated by Mr. Cornell's voice, which could quickly shift from a soulful howl to a gritty growl.



Mr. Cornell had admitted in interviews to struggling with drug use throughout his life. In a 1994 Rolling Stone article, he described himself as a "daily drug user at 13," who had quit by the time he turned 14.



After Soundgarden disbanded in 1997, Mr. Cornell returned to heavy drug use, he told The Guardian in a 2009 interview, describing himself as a "pioneer" in the abuse of the opiate OxyContin, and saying that he had gone to rehab.

Kenny Shields, the brash lead singer of Canadian rock band Streetheart who swaggered across the country's stages for decades, died of heart failure Friday. He was 69.



The Juno-winning artist was part of the homegrown brand of guitar-driven hits that became rock radio staples throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, including "Action," "Hollywood," "Look in Your Eyes," "What Kind of Love Is This," and a cover of the Rolling Stones classic "Under My Thumb."



Guitarist Jeff Neill said Shields died Friday at St. Boniface General Hospital in Winnipeg after a number of heart problems.

I believe so. He is in early 80s now



Not sure if appropriate here, but if you like his works this is classic Roy (funny and good)



from The Odd Couple episode "The Roy Clark Show" - The short version of my favourite, Malaguena







If not appropriate as he is still with us, just take it out .. no prob!



I don't do shows (not comfortable in crowds) except for dinner shows  in a small and intimate setting.

Had the luxury of 3 non stop hours of jokes and solos (no backup), maybe 100 in the bar total .. ending of course with his full 7 + minute Malaguena ... it was like 3 hrs of slow sexual buildup as he slowly teased and pleased for hours  ... ending with his pièce de résistance ...  an overpowering  7 minute climax  



Everyone was so overwhelmed that there was a good 30 seconds of "could hear a pin drop" silence before people came out of the magical space he had put everyone into and applause started



Have never experienced anything like it  .. .well, ok, not in a dinner pub :sneaky2:

Actor Harry Dean Stanton dies aged 91



//http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/actor-harry-dean-stanton-dies-aged-91-20170915-gyiqav.html





Repo Man

Paris, Texas

Twin Peaks, Fire Walk With Me

Christine

Cockfighter

Escape from New York


QuoteAn actor's actor, whose gaunt manner never sat easily in the commercial machine of Hollywood merry-go-round of pretty faces, Harry Dean Stanton has died, aged 91.



Stanton, a respected actor with an eclectic body of work which included Twin Peaks, Paris, Texas and Repo Man, died of natural causes.



And his longtime friend David Lynch paid tribute to him, saying "the great Harry Dean Stanton has left us".



"There went a great one," Lynch said.



"There's nobody like Harry Dean. Everyone loved him. And with good reason. He was a great actor (actually beyond great) and a great human being. [It was] so great to be around him."

Entertainment Newsletter



Stephen King, who wrote the book Christine, noted that in the film adaptation of the book, Stanton stole the best line with: "I'm selling' this sh-thole and buyin' a condo".



"Rest in peace," King said today. "You were great."



Born in Irvine, Kentucky, in 1926, Stanton considered a career as a writer, studying journalism and radio.



Later he had to choose, he said, between being a singer or an actor. He chose the latter.



Though Stanton has a number of high-profile credits to his name, notably films such as The Godfather Part II, Alien, Pretty In Pink and Cool Hand Luke, he is best known as an actor who worked extensively in independent cinema.



His most memorable roles are in smaller, edgier films, such as Cockfighter, Repo Man and Escape from New York.



He also memorably played the army recruiter responsible for tricking Judy Benjamin (Goldie Hawn) into joining the army in the hit Private Benjamin.



As a performer, he became a favourite of certain directors, notably David Lynch, appearing in 1992's Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me.



Stanton reprised that role, Carl Rodd, in the recent reboot of Twin Peaks.



Among his earliest roles was an uncredited part in the iconic 1962 western How The West Was Won.



He also worked extensively in television in the 1950s and 1960s, with roles in programs such as The Rifleman, Johnny Ringo, The Texan, Bonanza and The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin.



After decades working as a character actor, he broke through to stardom with a role in the Wim Wenders film Paris, Texas in 1984.



Between 2006 and 2010 he played Roman Grant in the HBO drama Big Love.



In 2012, he appeared in a documentary about his career, Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction.



Aside from the reboot of Twin Peaks, his most recent roles included the short film The Pimp and the Rose, and the HBO television series Getting On.



is final role, the lead in the film Lucky, saw him working alongside David Lynch, in a rare acting performance, as well as Ed Begley Jr and Tom Skerritt.



The film will be released on September 29.



Stanton never married; according to reports he is survived by several children.

Like my one friend last month, he had jokingly mentioned us in a polka band a month prior.

His personality was such that I took to him immediately



Most artists do good work, nice sounds, but his constant smile makes me feel happy to see him perform.

Even when in voice only the smile comes through



His sound was great also, unique to him.

No known artists ever tried to copy his style, because his happy loving people personality was part of his product.



He reminds me of BB King in that "personality was part of his product" way. Both had seemingly never stopping energy and enthusiasm to not just deliver good sound, but also to make people feel happy

Roy Halladay, a two-time Cy Young Award-winning pitcher who retired from baseball nearly four years ago, has died in a plane crash in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida. He was 40 years old.



Halladay was an eight-time All-Star and went 203-105 with a 3.38 ERA in his 16-year career with the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies. He threw a perfect game with the Phillies during the 2010 season and a no-hitter that postseason.

Up-and-coming artist Lil Peep has passed away at the age of 21, according to multiple reports. The musician's UK rep confirmed the news to The Guardian. Lil Peep had just released his debut album Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 1 three months ago.



Chase Ortega, who Billboard cited as Peep's manager, first tweeted a cryptic message on Wednesday night, writing, "I've been expecting this call for a year. Mother f**k."



At this time a cause of death is unknown.

That union busting, who cares about safety tyrant former CEO of CN and CP, Hunter Harrison has died at age 73.


QuoteJACKSONVILLE,, United States - Hunter Harrison, the plain-spoken, gruff American who rewrote the Canadian railroading book during his years heading both of this country's largest railways, has died. He was 73.



CSX Corp., the American railroad Harrison began leading earlier this year, issued a statement on Saturday announcing his death.

The company attributed his death to "unexpectedly severe complications from a recent illness," the same reason offered when Harrison formally went on medical leave earlier this week.



"The entire CSX family mourns this loss. On behalf of our Board of Directors, management team and employees, we extend our deepest sympathies to Hunter's family," CSX (NASDAQ:CSX) said in the statement. "Hunter was a larger-than-life figure who brought his remarkable passion, experience and energy in railroading to CSX."



Ewing Hunter Harrison was born in Memphis, Tenn., on Nov. 7, 1944, and began his railroad career in 1964 as a 19-year-old rail car oiler for the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway while attending Memphis State University.



His modest start gave no hint that he would eventually serve as the CEO of four major railroads: Chicago-based Illinois Central Railroad, Montreal-based Canadian National Railway, Calgary-based Canadian Pacific Railway and Jacksonville, Fla., railway CSX Corp.



Harrison joined the Burlington Northern Railroad in 1980 when it purchased the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway, and he was eventually promoted to vice-president of transportation and service design.



Harrison left Burlington Northern in 1989 to become chief operating officer at Illinois Central Railroad, rising to president and CEO in 1993. There, he was credited with initiating scheduled service for freight, a revolutionary concept for the industry.

In 1998, Canadian National bought Illinois Central — considered at the time to be the most efficient railway in North America — and Harrison was appointed CN's chief operating officer.



He became CEO of CN in 2003, succeeding Paul Tellier, and served in that position until his retirement at the end of 2009. He moved to his estate in Connecticut, where he raised and trained horses for show jumping.



In the fall of 2011, Harrison was approached by activist investor Bill Ackman, head of hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management, and enlisted to help with a proxy battle at CP Rail. After winning the crucial vote at the annual shareholder meeting in 2012, Ackman appointed Harrison as CEO, replacing Fred Green.



In early 2017, Harrison abruptly resigned from CP, five months earlier than scheduled.



He gave up stock options and other compensation worth a total of $122.9 million to become CEO of CSX, a U.S. competitor, although he was later reimbursed by CSX.



Throughout his career, Harrison was adored by retail investors who rewarded his cost-cutting and attention to making the trains run as efficiently as possible by bidding higher on the shares of the railroads he headed.



As an illustration, CSX shares plunged nearly 10 per cent on Dec. 15, the morning after it announced he was taking medical leave and would be temporarily replaced by chief operating officer Jim Foote.



Unions were enraged by the thousands of job reductions he ordered. And they complained safety was compromised when he ordered managers and office workers at CP Rail be trained so that they could drive locomotives if union members went out on strike.



Institutional investors complained his compensation and perks were excessive and CP Rail moved to scale them back after he left.



"Hunter built a strong foundation for success at CP in our precision railroading operating model — we continue to build on that foundation," said Keith Creel, Harrison's hand-picked successor at CP Rail, in a statement on Dec. 15.



"He led a transformational turnaround at CP, helping restore an iconic company back to its rightful place among leaders in the Class 1 space."



Foote — who worked with Harrison for 11 years at CN Rail and joined him at CSX in mid-2017 — said Harrison's positive influence on CSX's performance would continue without him.



"I believe that the battleship has turned ... Because the team has implemented a foundation consistent with Hunter's vision, I do not see any reason to diminish our expectations concerning the pace and magnitude of our future progress," he said in a statement on Dec. 14.



Luc Jobin, the current CEO of CN Rail, offered his condolences to Harrison's family and paid tribute to the railway executive.



"Hunter was a giant of the railway industry for decades and a transformative figure at CN," Jobin said in a statement issued Saturday.

My Grandfather had COPD related issues leading up to his death.  Not much can really be done.  He spent his last days at home, with my Grandmother being in charge of administering the Morphine, which is all that can really be done.



At the end, I think it was more the Morphine that killed him than the COPD, but either way when the shit is terminal, there is only one outcome.

Lennon's assassin's wife reveals she knew of plot to murder (//http)



John Lennon's assassin told his wife his plans to murder the Beatle two months before shooting him dead in 1980, according to new reports.



Gloria Hiroko Chapman, wife of killer Mark Chapman told The Daily Mirror that her homicidal hubby revealed his plot after returning to Hawaii from a trip New York.



"He came home scared, telling me that to make a name for himself he had planned to kill Lennon. But he said my love had saved him," Hiroko, 67, told the British tabloid.



But the wife claims she had no idea Chapman, now 63, was on a murder mission when he returned to New York two months later.



"The only reason I was OK with Mark making another trip was because I had believed him when he said he needed to grow up as an adult and husband, and needed time to think about his life," she said. "He wanted me to sacrifice being alone for a short time so that we could have a long, happy marriage together."



Chapman also "lied" to Hiroko about getting rid of his gun.



"He said he threw the gun into the ocean, and I believed him," she said.

Quote from: "Herman"CHICAGO — Stan Mikita, the hockey great who helped the Chicago Blackhawks to the 1961 Stanley Cup title while becoming one of the franchise's most revered figures, died Tuesday. He was 78.



Mikita's family announced his death in a statement released by the team. No further details were provided, but the Hall of Famer had been in poor health after being diagnosed with a brain disorder called Lewy body dementia.

He was a legend.

He never met an islamic  country that he didn't want to bomb



This guy was a piece of work never seen before who did great harm to his own people and was major in seeing that great harm came to to people in several islamic countries ... not to mention destabilizing that part of the world for decades to come.



Today the damage continues and grows in Libya, Afghan, Iraq, and in Syria where he was the instrumental in naively (I hope)  giving Al Q and Al Nusra (extremists as bad as ISIS) aid to continue the killing



And his mad ego continued to the end ... instead of giving up his seat when he could no longer do the most basic duties (including showing up) so that his party could have replaced him with a working soldier ... he refused to give it up .. in essence making it a valuable seat his own party no longer had. That I have never seen before in any party anywhere

A Complete History Of John McCain Calling For War Around The World[/url][/b]



Afghanistan and Iraq

Obviously every US senator (besides California's Barbara Lee) voted to give president George W. Bush the power to invade Afghanistan following the events of September 11th. However, McCain wasn't happy with just moving to invade Afghanistan. No, he had other targets on his mind as early as the day after the towers fell.



Despite McCain's claim in 2014 that "the Iraq war probably wouldn't have happened" if he had won the 2000 Republican primary and then general election, this assertion seems ridiculous. On September 12th 2001, McCain appeared on MSNBC presenting a long list of countries he felt were providing a "safe harbor" to groups like al Qaeda. This list of course included Iraq and several other countries that appear later on this list.



Syria

Another country on that 2001 list (of course) was Syria. Now, the Bush regime may have never gotten a chance to continue toppling Mideast countries (thanks to the failure in Iraq and the exposure of that war being sold on lies). But McCain seemingly never lost sight of his hatred for Bashar Al-Assad.



Shortly after the Arab Spring "broke out" in Syria, McCain – and his constant partner in war crimes Sen. Lindsey Graham – quickly found communication channels with the "Syrian opposition." Just a few short months after the US endorsed protests in Syria (even having their ambassador attend), McCain and Graham began calling for arms to start flowing to the Free Syrian Army and other "rebel" groups.



Libya

McCain's plans for Syria never quite worked the way he wanted but he probably should've know they would never yield a positive result. If McCain didn't want to look at Iraq to prove that point, he had another more recent example he could've used: the NATO intervention in Libya.



It was less than a year before McCain wanted to arm Syrian takfiris that he had supported with the bombing and no fly zones in Libya. McCain even wanted tougher actions against the country. Which has now become an anarchic Wild West that's home to all sorts of horrors from the Islamic State to a new slave trade.



West and Central Africa

McCain is also a champion of the "war on terror" in other parts of Africa. While McCain hasn't directly supported terrorists in some countries in Africa, he still has called for more US intervention across the continent.



This list includes countries dealing with Islamic insurgencies, such as Mali. McCain has also called for plans like "deploying Special Forces" to rescue girls kidnapped by Boko Haram in Nigeria and intervention in Sudan, where McCain and his wife have invested money for some time.



Iran

Another country on the list of hated nations originally put forth by Bush undersecretary of defense Paul Wolfowitz, and also another long time target of McCain, is of course Iran.



Although McCain has always said "he prays" there will never be at war with Iran, the man constantly calls for it and even jokes about bombing the country when he feels the mood is right. The truth of the matter is, McCain's positions towards Iran are so hostile that even flagship neoconservative institutions like the Cato Institute think he is too hawkish.



Bosnia and Kosovo

But McCain isn't satisfied with just backing salafi jihadists in the traditional Middle East and North African theaters. He's also backed violent radicals across the fringes of Europe. This trend really started in the mid 1990's when McCain was a vocal supporter of then president Bill Clinton's war in Bosnia.



Many of the Muslims traveling to Bosnia joining the mujahideen there have joined groups like IS in recent years. And IS flags can occasionally be seen in the Sunni areas of Bosnia now. McCain was still backing potential takfiri movements, recently accusing Russia of interfering in local affairs, and calling for more US intervention in the country.



McCain made similar decisions when he advocated US intervention in Kosovo in the late 90's. In the Kosovo conflict, McCain backed the Kosovo Liberation Army: a genocidal jihadist organization with ties to Al Qaeda under Osama Bin Laden.



Ukraine

Don't be fooled into thinking that McCain only supports jihadists in Eastern Europe though! He also backs the overt Nazis acting as death squads for Kiev in the ongoing Ukrainian conflict.



This of course started in 2014, but McCain has continued to pledge support for Kiev's crimes in the Donbass region to this day. This is all par for the course in McCain's larger theme of challenging Russia– the country he believes controls the separatists in eastern Ukraine.



Russia

The story of McCain's hatred of Russia spans back to the Cold War. We won't get into McCain's fear of communism that's evolved into just general Russophobia. But we will say he didn't have many excuses to focus on making threats towards Moscow for a good 15-20 year stretch.



This changed in 2008, with the war in South Ossetia between Georgia and Russia. During this conflict McCain was the loudest voice saying the US "should immediately call a meeting of the North Atlantic Council to assess Georgia's security and review measures NATO can take to contribute to stabilizing this very dangerous situation."



This same situation repeated in Ukraine in 2014 but McCain's worst comments came this year. As soon as the US Intelligence Community's accused Russia of interference in the 2016 US elections– and without any evidence– McCain was first to say the event was an "act of war."



North Korea

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DRPK/North Korea) was also an early target of McCain's making his September 12th wish list. More recently though, the restyled "Trump opponent" McCain was all-in on the new regime's saber rattling. Calling on Trump to strike the nuclear armed country.



Bonus: China

China is kind of in its own class with McCain, who's made strange vague threats towards the country in the past. Such as "the Arab spring is coming to China," whatever that means. China may be a target on the periphery for McCain but he does still encourage antagonizing the country to this day. Calling for things like more "freedom of navigation drills" and other naval exercises in the South China Sea.

Tony Joe White

Tony Joe White, the country bluesman and hit songwriter behind such successes as "Polk Salad Annie" and "Rainy Night in Georgia," has died. He was 75.



White, originally from Louisiana, had a hit in 1969 with "Polk Salad Annie" and his songs were covered by Elvis Presley, Hank Williams Jr., Tina Turner, Ray Charles, Waylon Jennings and many more.



In his five decades as a singer-songwriter, White was best known for his swamp rock style mixing blues, country and rock 'n' roll, which earned him the nickname the Swamp Fox especially with his fans overseas.



With his deep growling voice, his song about the Southern greens wasn't an immediate hit, but months after its release it eventually became a pop hit.

My appreciation for him was all encompassing - Not just a great guitarist (acoustic or electric) , but extremely funny and personable



I have never attended and always avoided "stadium shows" ... far too impersonal for me.



Have been to only 3 more intimate small dinner theater situations, each performed by "special" people.

One was the privilege of attending of a 5 hour small dinner theater intimate performance of his - I entered knowing little of him.



Fine music + fun music +  constant belly laffs (some mid-song, some short lines and stories)    ... by the time he ended soaking wet with Malaguena at 2 AM .... audience so stunned that one could hear a pin drop for about a minute .. entire audience stunned with the talent and dramatic performance  ... I knew I had experienced the multiple arts of a very fine person



Here's a fun one that is telling of his comical and "knowing" mind, a master of setting one up for a surprise ending

Nancy Wilson, a three-time Grammy-winning artist who called herself a "song stylist," has died



The vocalist from Chillicothe, Ohio, initially focused on R&B music but later excelled at jazz ballads and torch songs.



She made her debut with her 1961's single, "Guess Who I Saw Today."



Wilson's biggest hit came in 1964 with "(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am," which rose through the charts to the #11 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 singles and earned her a Grammy Award for best R&B recording.



She would win two more Grammy Awards, in 2005 and 2007

Quote from: "Bricktop"Cousin is sad. He liked this guy and they were friends.



Other actors in costumes, not so much. One in particular was an asshole.

Warwick liked him. Unlike some, he was genuinely friendly and kind to other cast members.



"We've lost a friend and #StarWars legend. The mighty #PeterMayhew brought such warmth, humour and humility to the beloved character of #Chewbacca. His personal wit and charm will be missed by Star Wars fans across the galaxy too. #RIPPeterMayhew



We are thinking of Angie and all Peters family at this very sad time.

Lots of love and hugs from us all. xxxx"

H. Ross Perot, two time independent candidate for president and Texas billionaire, has died at 89. He died of leukemia according to the family.


QuotePerot, whose 19% of the vote in 1992 stands among the best showings by an independent candidate in the past century, died early Tuesday at his home in Dallas surrounded by his devoted family, family spokesman James Fuller said.



As a boy in Texarkana, Texas, Perot delivered newspapers from the back of a pony. He earned his billions in a more modern way, however. After attending the U.S. Naval Academy and becoming a salesman for IBM, he went his own way — creating and building Electronic Data Systems Corp., which helped other companies manage their computer networks.

I approve of and greatly appreciate this thread, but I only read it every month or two to see if I've missed anyone.  This habit is because I participate more actively in a similar subforum on my "home" board, and I can only handle death in measured doses.



Just yesterday I was reflecting on my college years, and realized that of the nine undergrad roommates and housemates I had (not including my first wife) all but one of them are now deceased.  The one who still lives is the one everyone expected to die of alcoholism by age 25.  And (to paraphrase Bertie Russell) when he does finally pass on, they'll surely blame it on his drinking although he has already passed his actuarial "expected" lifespan based on age alone.

People who acquire vast wealth do so by taking it from others. Do they fight for freedom or fight against socialist dictators who would relieve them of their wealth.

Koch industries unlike say Oprah Winfrey built real companies in real industries that providing real jobs. By billionaire standards he was alright.



He did not use his wealth to buy the kind of political influence that transferred money and power from the people to elites like say George Soros.

[size=200]T. Boone Pickens remembered fondly by Calgary friends[/size]



calgaryherald.com/business/local-business/t-boone-pickens-remembered-fondly-by-calgary-friends



The larger-than-life businessman earned his fame and fortune in the 1970s and 1980s through his Mesa Petroleum Co., one of the largest independent U.S. producers of oil and gas, and his Dallas-based BP Capital LLC.



But before that, Pickens — whose net worth was US$3 billion in 2007 according to Forbes magazine, though that had fallen to US$950 million in 2013 — spent several years in Calgary in the late 1950s and 1960s. Even after he left and his career and celebrity status skyrocketed, he stayed in touch with some of his old Calgary friends.



Jeff Hotchkiss, the son of Calgary philanthropist and business leader Harley Hotchkiss, said Thursday he was sorry to hear of Pickens' death. Pickens and Harley Hotchkiss had been close friends, and Pickens kept in touch with the rest of the Hotchkiss family even after Harley's death in 2011. Over the decades, Pickens regularly visited the Hotchkiss family in Calgary and they made several visits to his Texas ranch.



"He and my dad were buddies for a good reason. They loved a good laugh, they loved a good adventure," Hotchkiss said. "Boone with that southern drawl, he had all those funny expressions. You could just listen to him for hours, with all his experiences and the way he talked. It was great fun for all of us."

Exceedingly tough times for an effeminate gay wannabe raunchy black boy with a noticeable limp in the late 50s / early 60s ... . born into religious family .. beaten daily by his "bible toting" undeserving father for being outwardly gay



Somehow he overcame it all and went on to teach Jagger stage moves...conducted vocal lessons for McCartney ... Started Hendrix and ....had Beatles and the Stones serving as his opening acts ... taught and started many others who later became "stars" in our fickle world

yall would be amazed how many cov-idiots we have in alabama.... its fuckin shameful....

When you say cov-idiots, do you mean people who are terrified of catching it and support total societal shutdown as a response?




oh yeah.... i consider anyone that believes total lockdowns, social distancing and hazmat suits are a rational response to a fuckin FLU to be a cov-idiot.... where were these panic-stricken alarmists when tuberculosis KILLED ALMOST 2 MILLION PPL a couple of years ago.... lmmfao.... now while i know this is a psy-op to gain complete government control, it still irritates me that ppl are so fuckin stupid.... oh well....

TB didn't hit developed countries, so nobody cared.

[Breaking] Seoul mayor found dead, suicide suspected



http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200710000005



Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon was found dead on Friday, according to police, in what appears to be one of the country's highest-profile suicides in recent history.



The body of Park, 64, was found at Mount Bukak, hours after he was reported missing.



The exact cause of his death remained under investigation.



Park's daughter filed a police report at 5:17 p.m. that he "had left home four to five hours ago after leaving words like a will, with his phone currently off."



More than 770 police officers, firetrucks and an ambulance were mobilized to track the whereabouts of Park, searching areas around his home and nearby the temple Gilsangsa in Seongbuk-dong in Seoul, where his cellphone signal was last detected.

Cain, who successfully steered food chains like Burger King and Godfather's Pizza to profitability and served as chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, shot to prominence in 2012 when he launched a bid to be the Republican presidential nominee.



Following his 2012 presidential bid, Cain launched T.H.E. New Voice, an advocacy group focused on tax reform, energy policy, and national security, and has become a frequent commentator on news outlets. He's been a Fox News contributor for years.

Martin Birch, who produced nine consecutive Iron Maiden albums - as well as records from Deep Purple, Rainbow and Black Sabbath - has died at the age of 71.



The news was confirmed by David Coverdale; Birch produced the first six Whitesnake albums. "It is with a very heavy heart I've just had verified my very dear friend and producer Martin Birch has passed away," Coverdale tweeted. "Martin was a huge part of my life ... helping me from the first time we met through until Slide It In. .. My thoughts and prayers to his family, friends and fans."



Birch made a habit of working with bands for long periods of time. He produced every Iron Maiden album from 1981's Killers to 1992's Fear of the Dark, and engineered or produced nearly a dozen Deep Purple albums. He also helmed Black Sabbath's Ronnie James Dio-fronted Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules, engineered five early Fleetwood Mac albums and produced Rainbow's first three records.

Golly Gee Willikers, what a life.

 (That's from what he would often say in a broadcast upon the scoring of an especially skillful  goal" Golly Gee Willikers, what a goal")



During his many years as a broadcaster — primarily on Hockey Night In Canada but later on TSN and BCTV (Global) — Meeker became known as an innovator. He was the first colour man/analyst to master the telestrator, using it not only for goal replays but also to educate the viewers on the finer points of the game. He was the first to inform audiences not only how  a goal was scored but why — even if the key to the score occurred 40 seconds before the fact.



However, despite all his analytical brilliance, it is Howie Meeker the person that the people he worked closest with remember him the most.



"I did quite a few HNIC games with Howie, in fact we did the first NHL game from the new Saddledome in Calgary," recalled Vancouver broadcast legend Jim Robson, a fellow Hockey Hall of Fame inductee. "Howie was quite a guy. A real character. He would go on about how we weren't teaching the skills to our kids.

Of course, he was the first to use the telestrator and that was his big thing."



Much More on this fine person (//https)

A great human being has passed on.





Walter Edward Williams, one of the world's greatest champions of liberty, passed away this week at the age of 84.



After receiving his bachelor's degree in economics at California State University, Los Angeles and ultimately his doctorate in economics from the University of California, Los Angeles, Williams went on to become a longtime professor of economics at George Mason University.



His first book, "The State Against Blacks," published in 1982, is as relevant as ever. In it, he presented his case that, while racial discrimination and bigotry certainly exist, "it is the 'rules of the game' that account for many of the economic handicaps faced by Blacks. The rules of the game are the many federal, state and local laws that regulate economic activity."



Overregulation by the government, including laws like occupational and business licensing, zoning regulations and the minimum wage, Williams argued, "systematically discriminate against the employment and advancement of people who are outsiders, latecomers and poor in resources."



While it is fashionable among younger generations to condemn capitalism, Williams understood that capitalism is the greatest means for liberating people from poverty known to man.



"Prior to capitalism, the way people amassed great wealth was by looting, plundering and enslaving their fellow man," he said. "Capitalism made it possible to become wealthy by serving your fellow man."



At the core of Williams' views of the world is the notion of self-ownership, the principle that we own ourselves.



"I am my private property, and you are yours," he wrote. Illegitimate, coercive and non-voluntary intrusions on individuals, he argued, are fundamentally immoral. Whether it's a criminal assaulting you physically or the state dictating what you can or can't do with our own life, Williams always put the dignity and integrity of the individual first and foremost.



Though there will only be one Walter E. Williams, his ideas must endure forever.

I was sorry to hear this...I read Williams first book "The State Against Blacks" while in college and it is an excellent and thought provoking essay on how big government has basically perpetuated what can almost be called a type of serfdom of the lower classes which more often than not, directly affects blacks.

Hollywood reacts to 'Gilligan's Island' star Dawn Wells' death

The girl-next-door actress told Fox News last month she was 'grateful for my life, career and the comforts it allows me' (//https)



Dawn Wells -- the venerable actress who starred as the lively Mary Ann Summers in the iconic 1960s sitcom "Gilligan's Island" -- died Wednesday of causes related to the coronavirus, Fox News confirmed via her publicist. She was 82.



Following news of Wells' passing, tributes and well-wishes to the actress's family and friends quickly circulated around social media. Many shared their personal stories from moments when they had met the beloved performer who was known for taking the time to speak with everyone she met.



"It was such a thrill for me to meet Dawn Wells when she came to see 'Two and a Half Men,'" Jon Cryer wrote on Twitter on Wednesday. "She could not have been more lovely and gracious. I'm so grateful that I got to enjoy the work she loved doing. #RIPDawnWells."

Hall of Fame legend and one-time MLB home run king Henry "Hank" Aaron, has died at the age of 86, according to CBS46 in Atlanta.



Aaron was born in Mobile, Alabama in 1934, the son of Herbert and Estella Aaron. He played in sandlots and started his pro career in the Negro Leagues in 1951. He made his way through the minor leagues until age 20. Aaron then made his Major League Debut and started his 23-year-career with the then-Milwaukee Braves.



He recorded his first of 755 home runs on April 23, 1954 in a game against the St. Louis Cardinals. His first season saw him finish fourth in the rookie of the year voting as he hit .280 with 13 home runs and 69 RBIs. It was just the start of what became one of the most legendary careers in baseball history.

Hall of Fame legend and one-time MLB home run king Henry "Hank" Aaron, has died at the age of 86, according to CBS46 in Atlanta.



Aaron was born in Mobile, Alabama in 1934, the son of Herbert and Estella Aaron. He played in sandlots and started his pro career in the Negro Leagues in 1951. He made his way through the minor leagues until age 20. Aaron then made his Major League Debut and started his 23-year-career with the then-Milwaukee Braves.



He recorded his first of 755 home runs on April 23, 1954 in a game against the St. Louis Cardinals. His first season saw him finish fourth in the rookie of the year voting as he hit .280 with 13 home runs and 69 RBIs. It was just the start of what became one of the most legendary careers in baseball history.

Legendary talk show host Larry King died Saturday morning, a family member confirmed to ABC News. He was 87.



 A statement from Ora Media, the parent company of Ora TV which King co-launched in 2012, read: "With profound sadness, Ora Media announces the death of our co-founder, host and friend Larry King, who passed away at age 87 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles."



King overcame several health challenges over the years, including a heart attack that led to bypass surgery -- and encouraged King to quit smoking. King also survived lung cancer and underwent surgery at Cedars-Sinai in 2017. King also was diagnosed with and treated for prostate cancer in 1999.



In 2019, he suffered a stroke that left him unable to walk on his left foot, and he was sometimes seen using a wheelchair afterward.



On Jan. 2, King was hospitalized for COVID-19 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, a source close to the King family told ABC News.



"I never thought I'd be 86," King told Page Six at the time. "My father died when he was 43, 44. I thought I would die too."



"I have no complaints. Everything that's happened to me, I'm grateful for," he told the publication. "Maybe that sounds cliché, but I'm really, really grateful."

[size=150]Hilton Valentine, Founding Guitarist For The Animals, Dies At 77[/size]



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Fy7opKu46c



Hilton Valentine, the guitarist for British Invasion band The Animals known for his iconic guitar riff on the group's version of "House of the Rising Sun," has died at the age of 77.



Abkco Music, The Animals' label, confirmed the musician died on Friday in a statement posted to its website.



"We, along with all of the music world, mourn the loss today of Hilton Valentine a founding member of The Animals. Valentine was a pioneering guitar player influencing the sound of rock and roll for decades to come. His death was revealed by his wife, Germaine Valentine," the label said in a statement.



Born in May 1943, Valentine grew up in North Shields, Northumberland on the English coast. He began playing guitar at 13, and like many musicians of the British Invasion, gravitated towards skiffle — an English music craze infusing together several American traditions.

Hal Holbrook, the Tony and multiple Emmy winner famed for his portrayal of Mark Twain, has died. He was 95.



The actor who portrayed Watergate informant Deep Throat in 1976's "All the President's Men" opposite Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford died on Jan. 23 in his Beverly Hills home, his assistant Joyce Cohen confirmed Monday.



Holbrook, a World War II veteran who discovered his love of the stage via Army performances during his service from 1942 to 1946 while stationed in Newfoundland, would eventually be nominated for an Oscar at 82 for his haunting performance in Sean Penn's "Into the Wild."



But he was perhaps best-known for his enduring portrayal of a seminal American literary figure.



The actor first played legendary author Mark Twain in a 1954 one-man show he developed while studying at Denison University in Ohio — and continued to play the Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer writer throughout the next six decades of his career.



"There was so much to learn and it was all fun — but the best part was getting a laugh from an audience. That was like drowning in candy," Holbrook said of his most famous role in his 2011 memoir "Harold: The Boy Who Became Mark Twain."



Holbrook would go on to win a Tony Award in 1966 for Broadway's "Mark Twain Tonight!" as well as four Emmys for his work on television.

His filmography and his work on Broadway and in Television was nothing short of amazing. Ironically probably his best known role... Capt. Von Trapp in The Sound of Music" is the role he most hated...He referred to it as "sentimental", "boring" and "gooey"... :laugh3: He hated almost every aspect of the film.



In 2007 I was privileged enough to see him in the revival of "Inherit the Wind" where he played Henry Drummond opposite Brian Dennehy's Mathew Brady. Both were absolutely mesmerizing to watch. And it's very said that both of them are now gone.

Mary Wilson, the longest-reigning original Supreme, has died at 76 years old.



Publicist Jay Schwartz says Wilson died Monday night at her home in Las Vegas and that the cause was not immediately clear.



Wilson, Diana Ross and Florence Ballard made up the first successful configuration of The Supremes. She stayed with the group until it was officially disbanded by Motown in 1977.



The group's first No. 1, million-selling song, "Where Did Our Love Go," was released June 17, 1964.



Motown founder Berry Gordon says he's extremely shocked and saddened to hear of her death. He said the Supremes were "always known as the sweethearts of Motown."

Porn purveyor Larry Flynt, who built Hustler magazine into an adult entertainment empire while championing First Amendment rights, died Wednesday. He was 78. A statement from Flynt's public relations manager said, "He passed quietly in his sleep at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center" with his wife and daughter at his side. Flynt's nephew said Flynt had been in frail health and died of heart failure.



From his beginnings as an Ohio strip club owner to his reign as founder of one of the most explicit adult-oriented magazines, Flynt constantly challenged the establishment and became a target for the religious right and feminist groups.



Flynt scored a surprising U.S. Supreme Court victory over the Reverend Jerry Falwell, who had sued him for libel after a 1983 Hustler alcohol ad suggested Falwell had lost his virginity to his mother in an outhouse.

Rush Limbaugh, the monumentally influential media icon who transformed talk radio and politics in his decades behind the microphone, helping shape the modern-day Republican Party, died Wednesday at the age of 70 after a battle with lung cancer, his family announced.



Limbaugh's wife, Kathryn, made the announcement on his radio show.



The radio icon learned he had Stage IV lung cancer in January 2020 and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Trump at the State of the Union address days later. First lady Melania Trump then presented America's highest civilian honor to Limbaugh in an emotional moment on the heels of his devastating cancer diagnosis.



"Rush Limbaugh: Thank you for your decades of tireless devotion to our country," President Trump said during the address.



Limbaugh is considered one of the most influential media figures in American history and has played a consequential role in conservative politics since "The Rush Limbaugh Show" began in 1988. Perched behind his Golden EIB (Excellence in Broadcasting) Microphone, Limbaugh spent over three decades as arguably both the most beloved and polarizing person in American media.

Roger Mudd, a longtime CBS News political correspondent who reported on the Pentagon's profligate spending, whose interview with Edward M. Kennedy ended the senator's White House prospects and who briefly shared the anchor job at his onetime rival, NBC News, died March 9 at his home in McLean, Va. He was 93.



The cause was complications from kidney failure, said a son, Jonathan Mudd.



Mr. Mudd spent almost 20 years covering Capitol Hill, political campaigns and corruption scandals for CBS News. He did special reports on the Watergate scandal and its fallout, including the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon in 1974.

[size=150]'Bond' Villain Yaphet Kotto Dies at 81[/size]



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRY-dbKTf4Y



Yaphet Kotto, best known for his roles in "Live and Let Die" and "Alien," has died at age 81.  The actor's wife, Tessie Sinahon, confirmed Kotto had died Monday in a Facebook post.



"I'm saddened and still in shocked of the passing of my husband Yaphet of 24 years," she wrote.



Born Nov. 15, 1939, in New York, Kotto was raised by his grandparents in the Bronx, according to IMDB. He first began acting in 1958 with a theatrical debut in the title role of "Othello."  Several years later, he appeared in the Broadway production "The Great White Hope" as James Earl Jones' understudy.



Kotto went on to appear in various films before landing his breakout role as the evil Kananga, also known as Mr. Big, in the 1973 James Bond thriller "Live and Let Die." Three years later, he was cast as Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in "Raid on Entebbe," followed by Nostromo engineer Parker in 1979's "Alien."

Dan Bongino to Fill Rush Limbaugh's Radio Slot (//https)

Conservative talk-show host Dan Bongino will take up the radio slot previously filled by the late talk-show giant Rush Limbaugh, Cumulus Media's Westwood One announced in a press release on Wednesday.



(//%3C/s%3E%3CURL%20url=%22https://img.theepochtimes.com/assets/uploads/2021/02/01/Dan-Bongino-The-Dan-Bongino-Show-3-700x420.jpg%22%3E%3CLINK_TEXT%20text=%22https://img.theepochtimes.com/assets/up%20...%2000x420.jpg%22%3Ehttps://img.theepochtimes.com/assets/uploads/2021/02/01/Dan-Bongino-The-Dan-Bongino-Show-3-700x420.jpg%3C/LINK_TEXT%3E%3C/URL%3E%3Ce%3E)



The show will launch on May 24 and run from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., as did Limbaugh's massively popular program. Listeners will be able to tune into Bongino's show nationwide, including the major radio markets in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, and Washington, DC.



"The Dan Bongino Show will tackle the hot political issues, debunking both liberal and Republican establishment rhetoric. As a former Secret Service agent and NYPD officer, Bongino is uniquely positioned to provide commentary and analysis that directly questions the philosophical underpinnings of both the Left and Big Government Republicans," the press release stated.



Since he left the Secret Service in 2011, Bongino has skyrocketed to the top of the charts among talk-show hosts nationwide. His podcast was downloaded 117 million times in 2020 and ranked in the top two slots among all podcasts on Apple during the post-election period.



[A worthy successor  in my not always humble opinion]

Jessica Walter, who played a scheming matriarch in TV's "Arrested Development," has died. She was 80.



Walter's death was confirmed Thursday by her daughter, Brooke Bowman.



The actor's best-known film roles included playing the stalker in Clint Eastwood's 1971 thriller, "Play Misty for Me."



Walter's daughter said the actor will be remembered for her work and for her wit, class and love of life.



Walter's feature debut was in the 1964 film "Lilith," with Warren Beatty, Jean Seberg and Gene Hackman, who was also on his first film.



She also snagged a role in John Frankenheimer's racing epic "Grand Prix," from 1966, as the glamorous but discontented wife of a Formula One racer who falls for another driver. That same year she appeared in Sidney Lumet's "The Group," a female-led ensemble about the graduates of a prestigious university (Walter played the catty Libby), and acted for Lumet again in 1968's "Bye Bye Braverman."

Sarah Obama, the matriarch of Barack Obama's Kenyan family, died, relatives and officials confirmed Monday. She was at least 99 years old.



Mama Sarah, as the step-grandmother of the former U.S. president was called, promoted education for girls and orphans in her rural Kogelo village. She died around 4 a.m. local time while being treated at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral hospital in Kisumu, Kenya's third-largest city in the country's west, according to her daughter Marsat Onyango.



"She died this morning. We are devastated," Onyango told The Associated Press on a phone call.



"Mama was sick with normal diseases; she did not die of COVID-19," family spokesman Sheik Musa Ismail said, adding that she had tested negative for the coronavirus. He said she had been ill for a week before being taken to the hospital.



Barack Obama sent his condolences.

G. Gordon Liddy, a mastermind of the Watergate burglary and a radio talk show host after emerging from prison, has died at age 90.



His son, Thomas Liddy, confirmed the death Tuesday but did reveal the cause, other than to say it was not related to COVID-19.



Liddy, a former FBI agent and Army veteran, was convicted of conspiracy, burglary and illegal wiretapping for his role in the Watergate burglary, which led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. He spent four years and four months in prison, including more than 100 days in solitary confinement.



After his release, Liddy became a popular, often provocative radio talk show host. He also worked as a security consultant, writer and actor.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWrxlczFZOE



British actor Paul Ritter, whose credits include HBO/Sky drama "Chernobyl" and Channel 4 comedy "Friday Night Dinner," has died of a brain tumor. He was 54.



"It is with great sadness we can confirm that Paul Ritter passed away last night," Ritter's agent said. "He died peacefully at home with his wife Polly and sons Frank and Noah by his side. He was 54 and had been suffering from a brain tumor.



"Paul was an exceptionally talented actor playing an enormous variety of roles on stage and screen with extraordinary skill. He was fiercely intelligent, kind and very funny. We will miss him greatly."



Ritter's credits also included James Bond film "Quantum of Solace," "Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince," and the series "Belgravia" and "Cold Feet." He will be seen in John Madden's upcoming war drama "Operation Mincemeat," which stars Colin Firth.

Prince Philip and Dolly Parton die at the same time and find themselves at the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter says "We only have room for one more today. Each of you show me something and I'll decide who gets let in."



Dolly Parton removed her top and showed Saint Peter the two biggest boobies he had ever seen. "Very nice" says Saint Peter.



Prince Philip then walks over to a toilet, takes a huge shit, and then flushes it away.



"You win", Saint Peter says to Prince Philip. "You may go inside."



"Wait a minute", says Dolly Parton. "How did that get him inside instead of me?"



Saint Peter says "A royal flush beats a pair no matter how large they may be."

Bernie Madoff, the former investment adviser with powerful connections who was convicted of running one of the largest Ponzi schemes in U.S. history has died in prison. He was 82.



In February 2020, CNBC reported that Madoff's lawyer asked that he be released from prison on compassionate grounds. In that filing, his lawyer claimed that Madoff has "18 months to live" and was suffering from cardiovascular disease and hypertension.



"I'm terminally ill," Madoff told The Washington Post in February 2020. "There's no cure for my type of disease. So, you know, I've served. I've served 11 years already, and, quite frankly, I've suffered through it."



Madoff pleaded guilty to 11 crimes in 2009 relating to a Ponzi scheme that swindled thousands of investors out of billions of dollars. He was sentenced to 150 years in prison.



According to the Associated Press, Madoff was a former chairman of Nasdaq, and his facade of a "Midas touch" attracted high-profile clients like director Stephen Spielberg, actor Kevin Bacon and baseball Hall-of-Famer Sandy Koufax — some of whom never recovered the funds they gave to Madoff.

There is no celebration for a death.



That said, in life he hurt a lot of people and destroyed many lives of people who will always have to suffer from what he did to them



No one is making fun, rather detailing the great harm he did ... just as one would do for any criminal who deliberately harmed others for his own benefit



"swindled thousands of investors out of billions of dollars" .. People need to know in order to protect themselves from future scam artists .. this one was a monster

[size=150]Former Vice President Walter Mondale dead at 93[/size]



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpy8NJKvpeM



Walter Frederick "Fritz" Mondale, who served as vice president under then-President Jimmy Carter before waging his own unsuccessful White House bid in 1984, has died, according to a family spokesperson. He was 93.



Mondale died at home in downtown Minneapolis surrounded by family, spokesperson Kathy Tunheim said.



"It is with profound sadness that we share news that our beloved dad passed away today in Minneapolis, Minnesota," Mondale's family said in a statement. "As proud as we were of him leading the presidential ticket for Democrats in 1984, we know that our father's public policy legacy is so much more than that."

In an email to former staffers obtained by CNN on Monday, Mondale acknowledged in a moving message that his "time has come."

Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins, who piloted the ship from which Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin left to make their historic first steps on the moon in 1969, died Wednesday of cancer, his family said. He was 90.



Collins was part of the three-man Apollo 11 crew that effectively ended the space race between the United States and Russia and fulfilled President John F. Kennedy's challenge to reach the moon by the end of the 1960s.



Though he traveled some 238,000 miles to the moon and came within 69 miles, Collins never set foot on the lunar surface like his crewmates Aldrin and Armstrong, who died in 2012. None of the men flew in space after the Apollo 11 mission.

Bobby Unser, a three-time Indianapolis 500 winner and part of the only pair of brothers to win "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing," has died. He was 87.



He died Sunday at his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, of natural causes, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway said Monday. Unser won the Indy 500 in 1968, 1975 and 1981.



"He is part of the Mount Rushmore of Indy," said Dario Franchitti, another three-time Indy 500 winner.



Younger brother Al Unser is one of only three drivers to win the Indy 500 four times -- 1970, 1971, 1978 and 1987. The Unser family tradition stretched to Al Unser's son, Al Unser Jr., who won the Indy 500 in 1992 and 1994.

Television actor Gavin MacLeod has died. He was 90. His stepdaughter says MacLeod died early Saturday at his home in Palm Desert, California.



She attributed his death to his age, saying he had been well until very recently.



MacLeod achieved stardom as Murray Slaughter, the sardonic TV news writer on the 1970s comedy "The Mary Tyler Moore Show."



He went to a lead role as the cheerful Captain Stubing on "The Love Boat." Early in his career, he was featured on "McHale's Navy" from 1962 to 1964 as seaman Joseph "Happy" Haines.



MacLeod's movie credits included "Kelly's Heroes" and "The Sand Pebbles."

Thomas was a Grammy-winning singer who enjoyed success on the pop, country and gospel charts with such hits as "I Just Can't Help Believing," "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" and "Hooked on a Feeling."



A statement released by Thomas' representatives said the singer died Saturday in Texas from complications due to lung cancer.



A Hugo, Oklahoma, native who grew up in Houston, Billy Joe Thomas broke through in 1966 with a gospel-styled cover of Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and went on to sell millions of records and have dozens of hits across genres.

Bailey's courtroom victories also included an acquittal for a figure in the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War and a successful appeal for Sam Sheppard, a Cleveland doctor convicted of murdering his wife.



Bailey was born in Waltham, Massachusetts in 1933. He attended Harvard for two years before joining the Navy, then switching to the Marines and becoming a fighter pilot.



After his military service, he went to law school at Boston University while running an investigative company for attorneys.

Joanne Linville, a prolific actress best known for playing a Romulan commander in an episode of "Star Trek," died Sunday. She was 93.



Her passing was confirmed by Variety.



Linville, a California native, appeared in dozens of popular television shows in her decades-long career, including "The Twilight Zone," "Columbo," "Kojak," "Dynasty," "Charlie's Angels," "L.A. Law," "Gunsmoke," "The Streets of San Francisco," "Hawaii Five-0," "Route 66," "Barnaby Jones" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." She also worked in films including the 1976 version of "A Star Is Born," starring Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson, and the 1973 spy movie "Scorpio" with Burt Lancaster.



But she is often remembered for playing a powerful Romulan commander in the Sept. 27, 1968, "Star Trek" episode "The Enterprise Incident," in which her character faces off with Capt. James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and romances usually unfeeling Vulcan first officer Spock (Leonard Nimoy).

Antivirus software tycoon John McAfee died by an apparent suicide in a Spanish jail cell Wednesday evening — hours after reports surfaced that he would be extradited to face federal charges in the US, according to local media.



The eccentric tech entrepreneur was arrested in October and was awaiting extradition when he was found dead, police sources told the newspaper El Pais.



The newspaper reported McAfee was pulled from his cell in Barcelona and police are investigating the circumstances around his death.



"Everything points to suicide," the newspaper reported, citing justice department officials in the country. A second Spanish newspaper, El Mundo, also reported McAfee had died by an apparent suicide in the jail.

Donald H. Rumsfeld, the secretary of defense for Presidents Gerald R. Ford and George W. Bush, who presided over America's Cold War strategies in the 1970s and, in the new world of terrorism decades later, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, died on Tuesday at his home in Taos, N.M. He was 88.



The cause was multiple myeloma, said Keith Urbahn, a spokesman for the family.



A staunch ally of former Vice President Dick Cheney, who had been his protégé and friend for years, Mr. Rumsfeld was a combative infighter who seemed to relish conflicts as he challenged cabinet rivals, members of Congress and military orthodoxies. And he was widely regarded in his second tour as the most powerful defense secretary since Robert S. McNamara during the Vietnam War.

Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Matiss Kivlenieks, 24, dies in fireworks accident



A medical examiner in Michigan said an autopsy has determined that Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Matiss Kivlenieks died of chest trauma from an errant fireworks mortar blast and not a fall, as authorities previously reported.



Police in Novi, Michigan, said the mortar-style firework tilted slightly and started to fire toward people nearby Sunday night. The 24-year-old Kivlenieks was in a hot tub and tried to get clear with several other people, Lt. Jason Meier said.



The initial autopsy determined Kivlenieks died from a percussive injury caused by the powerful blast from the fireworks, which triggered major damage to his heart and lungs, according to police.

Mate knew much of the family who moved to Windsor ON & took on the name "Kamin".. (more proof I'm jewish?)

 "Mason" was Jackie's  stage name & all were born in USA



He first met his brother Davie in Windsor. They met at mate's local golf course project and played some golf together.



Mate put in  lawn irrigation system for his brother, then the brother paid to get the whole family (Jackie's brothers and sisters) done and became good friends with the brother and his wife out of it  ... and met Jackie in their home while Jackie was headlining  in nearby Detroit.



(Mate did lawn systems for a while  to keep coal in the home fire before going exclusively large golf course projects)



Mate has often talked about his friendship with brother (& really nice family).. they really hit it off. Ironically Davie died young of heart attack on that same golf course.

Free Speech Warrior Kurt Westergaard Dies On His Own Terms, Muslims Could Not Kill Him

Artist and free speech hero, Kurt Westergaard, showed the world how intolerant and dangerous Islam is to a liberal and free nation.



The well-known Danish artist Kurt Westergaard died peacefully of natural causes on July 14, 2021, at 86.



Kurt Westergaard defined an era with his artwork. He became internationally known in 2005 after the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published his now-iconic "Moe-toon" illustration of Islam's founder, Mohammad, with a bomb as a turban. The artist and free speech hero showed the world how intolerant and dangerous Islam is to a liberal and free nation.



The reaction to Westergaard's cartoon developed into Denmark's most serious foreign policy situation since World War II and one of the most important free speech crises of our time.



Until the day Westergaard passed away, he and his family had to live under a permanent threat of assassination and were guarded by the Danish state intelligence at a secret location where they lived in hiding.

Charlie was very different in fact. It was a mag that challenged all concepts, dogmas and entities with no apparent preference as to mission (pope, Christianity, Hindu, islam, politicians etc. etc.) ... and only 1 of all those set out to kill it's people



Whereas Kurt studied and observed islam specifically and had the mission to expose it and challenge it to come out of the dark ages

That's the rub and tragedy of this all, isn't it....Why in fucks name was it even a thing?...Why are Muslim scum a protected class of flea infested, goat fuckers?...



The Muslim scourge in Europe is Europe's own fault...and soon to be coming to the North America if we do not start treating Islamic extremism with soul crushing intolerance.... Tolerance of social or religious values that are not compatible with the established native social structural has been the downfall of countless civilizations throughout history.

I remember the Charlie Hebdo cartoon affair better.

Charlie was very different in fact. It was a mag that challenged all concepts, dogmas and entities with no apparent preference as to mission (pope, Christianity, Hindu, islam, politicians etc. etc.) ... and only 1 of all those set out to kill it's people



Whereas Kurt studied and observed islam specifically and had the mission to expose it and challenge it to come out of the dark ages

I couldn't remember what Kurt Westegaard did.

.......... Tolerance of social or religious values that are not compatible with the established native social structural has been the downfall of countless civilizations throughout history. My the same mistakes be made over and over?

Exactly. The dimwits ("dimini" as their mostly vile book appropriately calls all of us) are void of understanding the lessons of history and become  useless idiots / tools of islam  .. and are so easily sucked into self-destruction



Kurt spotted that and successfully helped those who control islam expose themselves for what they really is  ... but those of Western society that mattered were not listening or watching

Sudoku creator Maki Kaji, whose life's work was spreading the joy of puzzles, has died at age 69 of cancer.



Known as the "Godfather of Sudoku," Kaji created the numbers puzzle to be easy for children and others who didn't want to think too hard.



He founded his puzzle company, Nikoli Co., in 1983 and created the game around the same time.



Sudoku became a global hit two decades later after a fan pitched it to the British newspaper The Times.



His company said Kaji traveled to more than 30 countries spreading his enjoyment of puzzles.



Sudoku championships have drawn millions of players and his company has provided more original puzzles to media companies in Japan and abroad.

[size=150]Martial Arts Legend Sonny Chiba Dies at 82[/size]



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIr6rEndy0A



Sonny Chiba, famous in the West for his roles as Hattori Hanzo in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill and Uncle Kamata in The Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift, has died aged 82.



The Japanese actor and martial arts expert died of complications linked to contracting Covid-19, the actor's agent confirmed to Variety.



Born in Fukuoka, Japan on January 22, 1939, Chiba attended Nippon Sport Science University in 1957 where he began to study martial arts under the guidance of Kyokushin Karate master Masutatsu "Mas" Oyama. Aged 26, Chiba obtained his first-degree black belt on October 15, 1965, before later achieving his fourth-degree in 1984. The late actor also held further black belts across a range of other disciplines including Kendo, Judo, and Ninjitsu.

Don Everly, the last surviving member of the rock 'n' roll duo The Everly Brothers, has died at the age of 84.

They were known for their close harmonies and influenced bands such as The Beatles.



"Don lived by what he felt in his heart. Don expressed his appreciation for the ability to live his dreams... with his soulmate and wife, Adela, and sharing the music that made him an Everly Brother," a statement said.

He was very cool. One of the original members... Not the best drummer out there but well more than capable for a band like the Stones... It was his low key, no bullshit persona that always impressed me. He gave class to a relatively classless, crass group. In fact he stated on more than one occasion that he felt totally out of place with the rest of the band but yet he hung in there for 58 years.

Sir Clive Sinclair, who popularised the home computer and invented the pocket calculator, has died aged 81.



His daughter Belinda Sinclair told The Guardian that her father died at his London home on Thursday morning.



Ms Sinclair told the BBC that her father had cancer for more than a decade and was still working on inventions up until last week "because that was what he loved doing".



She added: "He was inventive and imaginative and for him it was exciting and an adventure, it was his passion."



Sir Clive launched the first affordable consumer computer in 1980, costing less than £100.



The multimillionaire entrepreneur's company launched the ZX models in a decade where personal computer use boomed.



Sinclair became the first company in the world to sell more than a million computers, making Sir Clive's surname a household name.

Josée Forest-Niesing, a lawyer and Ontario senator, has died shortly after being hospitalized with COVID-19. She was 56.



Forest-Niesing's office said earlier in the week that the Sudbury, Ont., senator returned home last Saturday after being admitted to hospital with the virus.



The statement noted she was fully vaccinated against COVID-19 but was considered especially vulnerable due to an autoimmune condition that had affected her lungs for the last 15 years.

Michael Nesmith, the singer-songwriter, author, actor-director and entrepreneur who will likely be best remembered as the wool-hatted, guitar-strumming member of the made-for-television rock band The Monkees, has died at 78.



Nesmith, who had undergone quadruple bypass surgery in 2018, died at home Friday of natural causes, his family said in a statement.



Nesmith was a struggling singer-songwriter in September 1966 when "The Monkees" television debut turned him and fellow band members Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and David Jones into overnight rock stars.



After the group broke up in 1970, Nesmith moved on to a long and creative career, not only as a musician but as a writer, producer and director of films, author of several books, head of a media arts company and creator of a music video format that led to the creation of MTV.



Nesmith was running "hoot nights" at the popular West Hollywood nightclub The Troubadour when he saw a trade publication ad seeking "four insane boys" to play rock musicians in a band modeled after the Beatles.



The show featured the comical misadventures of a quartet that tooled around Los Angeles in a tricked-out Pontiac GTO called the MonkeeMobile and, when they weren't chasing girls, pursued music stardom.



Each episode rolled out two or three new Monkees songs, six of which became Top 10 Billboard hits during the show's two-year run. Three others, "I'm a Believer," ´´Daydream Believer" and "Last Train to Clarksville," reached No. 1.

Whilst I would never support or condone racism of any kind, it cannot be ignored that since regaining power over their own nation, South Africans are struggling in many ways. Power shortages, unemployment, crime rates and corruption are ruining their country.



If they could have somehow worked out how to work together and build on the strengths of both black and white South Africans it would be a great nation.



But such a scenario is impossible while common human nature is clearly racist regardless of the denials of multiculturalists that "diversity is strength".



Not yet it isn't. Not by a loooong way.

Apparently he shouted anti-lockdown/vaccine things.



A guy like that has more demons in his head than just corona and lockdown.





Now, I dont know how bad the lockdowns are in Australia but ours are quite tolerable.

Former longtime Liberal MP and cabinet minister Joe Comuzzi has died at the age of 88..



n 1988, Comuzzi was first elected to the House of Commons for the Thunder Bay-Nipigon riding — which later became Thunder Bay-Superior North — serving as Liberal MP from 1988 to 2007, when he was kicked out of the party for backing the Conservative budget.



He briefly sat as an Independent before crossing over to join the Conservative Party the same year. He retired in 2008.

Smarten up Blazor, and stop believing all the anti-vax horsehit that's clouding your reason.


QuoteBetty White's agent is shooting down false claims that the beloved actress' death had anything to do with COVID-19 vaccines.



After the television icon died last week at the age of 99, a false quote began to spread online of White allegedly saying that she received a COVID-19 vaccine booster dose three days earlier on Dec. 28. According to The Associated Press, this was a fabricated quote, and White did not, in fact, receive a vaccine booster on that date. Her agent Jeff Witjas in a new statement rejected false assertions her death was connected to COVID-19 vaccines in any way.

Fake as fuck and you believe it because it suits your agenda.



CLAIM: Betty White told a news outlet she received a COVID-19 vaccine booster on Dec. 28, three days before her death, saying: "Eat healthy and get all your vaccines. I just got boosted today."



AP'S ASSESSMENT: False. The quote is fabricated. social media users are falsely claiming "The Golden Girls" star had received a COVID-19 vaccine booster on Dec. 28, using a bogus quote to suggest her death may have been related.

Except in Betty White's case it didn't happen. Even the source of the quote that it came from, Crow River Media admits it's horseshit.


QuoteA lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.



We at the Leader and Crow River Media recently became more closely acquainted with this adage.



As some of our readers who also spend time on social media may have seen, a photo was widely circulated this past weekend that included a link to a Betty White story with the headline "Betty White: I'm lucky to still be in good health." Above a photo of White and the web address is a quote that says "'Eat healthy and get all your vaccines. I just got boosted today.' -Betty White, Dec 28th, 2021."



White, of course, died Dec. 31, a few weeks shy of her 100th birthday. The social media photo with the quote seems to imply that White died just days after receiving a booster shot for COVID-19. The only problem is that there's no record of White actually saying it.



While the story about White — a summary of a larger interview published by People magazine — is true, [size=200]White never spoke about being vaccinated and never said she received a booster shot.[/size]

France's famed Bogdanoff twins die of COVID after rejecting vaccines



 Controversial French TV stars and famous twins Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff were inseparable in life, and in death. They had refused to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, believing their good health would save them, but were admitted to a hospital on the same day last month and diagnosed with COVID-19.



The younger twin, Grichka, died in an intensive care unit on December 28. Igor followed him six days later on January 3. They were 72.



The Bogdanoff twins were TV stars in France in the 1980s, famous as much for their offbeat popular science shows as for their good looks, multiplied by two.

According to the tweet, detectives said they found no signs of foul play or drug use.



Saget was in Florida over the weekend on his comedy tour "Bob Saget: I Don't Do Negative Tour." He had stops in Orlando on Friday and Ponte Vedra Beach on Saturday.

Yvette Mimieux, star of the 1960 sci-fi flick "The Time Machine," has passed away at 80.



She died in her sleep from natural causes on Tuesday morning, her family's rep confirmed to Deadline.



Mimieux just celebrated her 80th birthday on Jan. 8.



She was best known for starring alongside Rod Taylor in the film adaption of H.G. Wells' novel "The Time Machine," but had notable roles in the movies "Where the Boys Are," "Platinum High School," "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" and "Light in the Piazza."



Mimieux later made a foray into television, guest starring on two episodes of the Richard Chamberlain series "Dr. Kildare." On the show, she made history by becoming the first person on American television to show her belly button.

Rock star Meat Loaf was reportedly seriously ill with COVID-19 during the week before his death on Thursday..



His vaccine status was unclear.

Is anyone else getting tired of COVID deaths being exploited by leftist lockdown lunatics. I am not saying you are doing that, but social media is having a field day with Meatloaf's death.

Howard Hesseman, who played the radio disc jockey Johnny Fever on the sitcom "WKRP in Cincinnati" and the actor-turned-history teacher Charlie Moore on "Head of the Class," has died.....he was 81..



And before the anti vaxxers see this, it was complications from colon surgery.

Cherry picking is cheap shots (and in fact lying). Conspiracists thrive on cheap shots (the nature of the beast & all they have to work with)  ... glom onto 1 and try to make it seem typical, when fact is many more unvaxxed are dying per 100,000 people   (or per any number one chooses)  than vaxxed



Cheap shots is all they have as they are losing the overall average argument badly in any place one chooses to honestly compare hospitalizations or deaths

While cherry picking and faulty generalizations are both logical fallacies, I'd say that an US vs THEM mentality is what is more concerning.  Bad argument is just being wrong, WAR is just being horrible.   :sad:

Actress Sally Kellerman, who was best known for her role of Margaret 'Hot Lips' Houlihan in the film M*A*S*H* has died aged 84, her manager has confirmed.



Kellerman, who had been suffering from dementia, died of heart failure at her assisted care facility in the Woodland Hills area of Los Angeles, according to her son Jack Krane.



The Oscar nominated star had a career spanning over 60 years, staring in more than 150 movies and TV shows. A keen jazz singer, she also sang and had a Grand Funk Railroad tune written for her.



Working primarily in television early in her career, she appeared in shows including The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour.



Her appearance in the original Star Trek pilot as Dr Elizabeth Dehner won her cult status among fans. But it was her portrayal of Margaret 'Hot Lips' Houlihan in director Robert Altman's 1970 army comedy M*A*S*H* which really put her on the map.



She said the role of Major Houlihan - a straitlaced, by-the-book army nurse who is tormented by rowdy doctors during the Korean war - brought out the best in her.



"It was a very freeing, positive experience," she told Dick Cavett in a 1970 TV interview. "For the first time in my life I took chances, I didn't suck in my cheeks, or worry about anything."



The film was nominated for five Academy Awards, with Kellerman's best supporting actress providing its only nod despite a cast that included Robert Duvall, Donald Sutherland and Elliot Gould.

Eugene Parker, a physicist who theorized the existence of solar wind and became the first person to witness the launch of a spacecraft bearing his name, has died, his son and the University of Chicago said Wednesday.



His son, Eric Parker, said Eugene Parker died peacefully at a retirement community in Chicago on Tuesday, about a decade after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. He was 94.



NASA administrators and university colleagues hailed Parker as a visionary in his field of heliophysics, focused on the study of the sun and other stars. He is best known for his 1958 theory of the existence of solar wind — a supersonic flow of particles off the sun's surface.



"Dr. Eugene Parker's contributions to science and to understanding how our universe works touches so much of what we do here at NASA," NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a statement. "Dr. Parker's legacy will live on through the many active and future NASA missions that build upon his work."



Parker recalled in 2018 that his solar wind theory was widely criticized and even mocked at publication. He was vindicated in 1962 when a NASA spacecraft mission to Venus confirmed his theory and solar wind's effect on the solar system, including occasional disruptions of communications systems on Earth.



The experience became part of Parker's identity as an educator and mentor.



"If you do something new or innovative, expect trouble," he said in 2018 when asked to give advice to early career scientists. "But think critically about it because if you're wrong, you want to be the first one to know that."

Computer scientist and creator of the GIF, Stephen Wilhite, has died at the age of 74 due to complications from COVID-19.



According to the Verge, who spoke to Wilhite's wife Kathaleen, he was surrounded by family when he died. An obituary page created for Wilhite is filled with messages, even from those who say they didn't know him personally.



The page says of Wilhite, "even with all his accomplishments, he remained a very humble, kind, and good man."



As Now This News reported, Wilhite was a key part of the creation of the Graphics Interchange Format, an animated image format that is now ubiquitous in its use and familiarity in everyday life on social media and the internet as a whole. He created the format while working for the internet service provider CompuServe in the 1980s.



Wilhite earned a lifetime achievement award from the Webby Awards in 2013 for his contribution to online culture.

Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins has died, according to the band's rep. No cause of death or further details were immediately announced, although the band was scheduled to perform in Bogota, Colombia on Friday night. He was 50.



Hawkins, who joined the band in 1997 after two years as Alanis Morissette's drummer, was a key element of the Foo Fighters' sound and image. An imaginative and rock-solid drummer, he had the seemingly thankless task of playing drums behind Foos singer-guitarist Dave Grohl, who is one of the greatest drummers in rock history. Hawkins filled that role with aplomb, bringing his own hard-hitting, time-juggling style to the band's straight-ahead rock sound without trying to emulate Grohl. He was also a strong singer and frequently took the mic during the band's concerts and on B-sides, often on cover versions (such as a 2008 team-up with Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, when Grohl went behind the drum kit at Hawkins took the mic). He also cowrote many of the band's songs.

[size=150]'Convoy' singer C.W. McCall dead at 93 after cancer battle, son says [/size]



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUvVseY_1iU



"Convoy" singer C.W. McCall has died at 93. He had been battling cancer and was in hospital care in his Colorado home when he died on Friday, April 1. The death has been confirmed by his son, Bill Fries III, reports the Washington Post.



McCall rose to fame as a country music star with songs about driving 18-wheelers and big-rigs, including 1976 number one hit "Convoy."



His real name was Bill Fries and he was an ad executive turned singer. He created the character of C.W. McCall, a truck driver in a series of commercials for a Midwestern bread company. The goal wasn't to create an alter-ego but to sell bread using catchy, country-sounding jingles.



McCall took on this persona and began recording music about long-haul trucking, even establishing his own CB radio lingo truckers picked up and still use today. He was well known in the '70s for his hit country records: "Old Home Filler-Up" and "Keep On-a-Truckin' Cafe," "Wolf Creek Pass," and most famous of all, "Convoy," which became a No. 1 pop and country hit in 1976.

After her last tour, Judd developed depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and suicide.

Possible but not highly probable...



Too many people are dropping dead and the news services, families, and agents continually scramble to make it sound natural.



Naomi might have committed suicide.... just like Bob Saget died....

Norman Yoshio Mineta rose to be San Jose's mayor, spent two decades in Congress and served as U.S. Secretary of Transportation during 9/11. But his memories as a young boy interned with his Japanese-American immigrant family during World War II had the most powerful influence on the groundbreaking political figure who decades later led the fight for reparations.



Mineta died Tuesday at age 90 of heart failure at his home in Maryland.



He built a national reputation over a long political career as a Democrat who served in the cabinet of a Republican president and as the man who was instrumental in the creation of the Transportation Security Agency. But his story began in San Jose, where he was born and which named Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport in his honor in 2001.



San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, who got his start in public service working as an intern in Mineta's Congressional office in Washington, D.C., when he was 18, said he was saddened by the loss of a mentor he admired and a champion of San Jose.



"Like so many of those fortunate to have worked with Norm, I learned enormously from his calm leadership style, his deadpan humor, and his sincere love for public service," Liccardo said.

Thirty years after a deadly standoff in the Idaho mountains, the man linked forever to Ruby Ridge has died.



Randy Weaver was a survivalist who built a remote cabin in the woods of Boundary County. He was facing federal charges, but refused to surrender when agents tried to come up the road to his home.



The refusal led to a shootout and an 11-day siege.



During the incident, federal agents shot Weaver's 14-year old son, Sam. A sniper also killed Weaver's wife, Vicki. She was holding her infant daughter in her arms at the time.



Deputy U.S. Marshal William Francis Degan died in the shootout, as well.



Thursday, Weaver's daughter Sarah announced his death on her Ruby Ridge to Freedom Facebook page. Earlier posts on the page indicated that he had been sick since at least mid-April.



"Love you always, Dad. 'See ya next time I see ya.'"

Marnie Schulenburg, the soap opera actress who portrayed Alison Stewart on CBS' As the World Turns and Jo Sullivan on the One Life to Live reboot, has died after a battle with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. She was 37.



Schulenburg died Tuesday in Bloomfield, New Jersey, her rep Kyle Luker at Industry Entertainment told The Hollywood Reporter.



Survivors include her husband, Succession and Sorry for Your Loss actor Zack Robidas — they married in September 2013 — and their daughter, Coda, 2. She was diagnosed five months after Coda's birth in December 2019.



Schulenburg also guest-starred on such primetime shows as Blue Bloods, Fringe, Elementary, Royal Pains and The Good Fight and will recur next season as Maggie Caysen on the Showtime drama City on a Hill.



She was released from the hospital on Mother's Day to spend time with her husband and daughter, the website SheKnows Soaps reported.



"I know that me being here for [Coda] is the best gift I can give her," she wrote recently, "but right now, it feels like settling since she's getting a half-life version of myself. My mother showed up 100 percent all day every day for me growing up, or at least it seemed that way. I want to give Coda the same, but I must be kind to myself and remember that nothing is permanent."

The instrumental version of Cruise's best-known song "Falling" was used as the title music for David Lynch's TV drama Twin Peaks, which first aired in 1990, and she performed on the series, including the climactic and terrifying "Bob"-revealing episode "Lonely Souls." They had previously worked together on Lynch's neo-noir film Blue Velvet (1986) and she also performed in his 1990 avant-garde concert performance Industrial Symphony No. 1, in which Cruise played "The Dreamself of the Heartbroken Woman."



In 2018, Cruise told fans in a Facebook post that she had systemic lupus that had left her struggling to walk or stand.

[size=150]Legendary Toronto Musician Big Rude Jake Dies at 57[/size]



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8_POuDyK0E



Toronto legend Big Rude Jake — the irony-laden, poem-writing troubadour who mixed up the city's neo-swing scene with his blend of jazz, blues, ragtime, rockabilly and Cajun music — has died at 57 after being diagnosed with small-cell carcinoma of the bladder in spring 2021.



Earlier this month, more than 20 musicians and friends of Jake (a.k.a. A. Jacob Hiebert) came together at Toronto's Lula Lounge for Jakefest, a benefit concert to support Hiebert and his family while he was undergoing treatment and unable to work.



A GoFundMe campaign was also set up to raise funds for Heibert. Throughout his cancer treatment, Heibert continued to share music, hosting weekly Facebook shows and running an online music therapy program for adults with disabilities.



Big Rude Jake released his debut album as Big Rude Jake and His Gentlemen Players, Butane Fumes & Bad Cologne, in 1993. He would go on to release nearly a dozen records in his lifetime.

Brett Tuggle, a journeyman keyboardist who logged two decades in Fleetwood Mac during their reunion era and also served as a founding member of the David Lee Roth Band in the Eighties, died June 19 from complications related to cancer. He was 70.



Tuggle's son Matt confirmed his death to Rolling Stone. "He was loved by his family so much," Matt says. "His family was with him throughout the entire time of his illness. He was a lovely father. He gave me music in my life."



Over the course of his long career, Tuggle also played with Jimmy Page, Rick Springfield, David Coverdale, John Kay and Steppenwolf, Styx's Tommy Shaw, and Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. During his tenure with David Lee Roth, he co-wrote the 1988 hit "Just Like Paradise."

Sonny Barger, the bigger-than-life godfather of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, equal parts brawler, bully, braggart, rule breaker and shrewd huckster of his own outlaw mystique, died June 29 at his home in California. He was 83.



A statement on his official Facebook page read: "If you are reading this message, you'll know that I'm gone. I've asked that this note be posted immediately after my passing." His former lawyer, Fritz Clapp, confirmed the death and said the cause was liver cancer.



For decades, the stocky, muscular Mr. Barger stood not only as the founder of the original Oakland, Calif., Angels chapter in 1957, but for decades after that also as the public face of a nationwide counterculture tribe of bearded, denim-clad road warriors memorialized in literature and film — roaring down the open highway and through crossroads towns, shocking the locals with their boisterous, often menacing presence.



It was a rowdy, frequently lawless brotherhood bound, in no particular order, by machismo, tattoos, winged death-head insignia, booze, dope, rides to nowhere on thundering Harley-Davidson hogs and a lust for the unfettered freedom found on the open road.



"Discover your limits by exceeding them," Mr. Barger urged.

Actor James Caan, best known for his role as Sonny in "The Godfather," has died at the age of 82, his family tweeted.



"It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Jimmy on the evening of July 6," the tweet said. "The family appreciates the outpouring of love and heartfelt condolences and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time."



He earned an Academy Award nomination for his work in "The Godfather." He was also nominated for a Golden Globe for the role.



He also appeared in dozens of other feature films, landing his first major role in the 1965 film "The Glory Guys."



His last feature film came a year ago when he starred opposite Ellen Burstyn in "Queen Bees."

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, a divisive arch-conservative and one of his nation's most powerful and influential figures, has died after being shot during a campaign speech Friday in western Japan, hospital officials said.



Abe, 67, was shot from behind minutes after he started his speech in Nara. He was airlifted to a hospital for emergency treatment but was not breathing and his heart had stopped. He was later pronounced dead despite emergency treatment that included massive blood transfusions, hospital officials said.



Police arrested the suspected gunman at the scene of an attack that shocked many in Japan, which is one of the world's safest nations and has some of the strictest gun control laws anywhere.

This was four days ago.



Claim : Nick Nemeroff Died From Vaccine SADS!

After news broke that Juno-nominated comedian, Nick Nemeroff, died in his sleep, people started claiming that he died from Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.



Here are just a few examples of those claims circulating on social media :



Two doses of the vaccine! Publicly refuses any Booster!



Very healthy young 32 yr old! DIES SUDDENLY!!!!!!!!! Wake up people!!!!!!!!!!



Comedian Nick Nemeroff dies suddenly at 32...







No Evidence Nick Nemeroff Died From Vaccine SADS!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why... and the current facts that we know so far.



Fact #1 : Nick Nemeroff's Cause Of Death Is Unknown



According to an obituary posted by a Montreal funeral home, and his manager, Morgan Flood of Grand Wave Entertainment, Nicholas (Nick) Nemeroff died in his sleep on Monday, June 27, 2022.



It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Nick Nemeroff, on Monday, June 27, 2022. Beloved son of Howard and Joanne. Wonderful brother and brother-in-law of Davida and Josh, Alex and Tracy Nemeroff. Incredible uncle of Ora, Imogene, Leo and Marina. Adored grandson of the late Archie Nemeroff.



His cause of death is still unknown. Unknown does not mean he died from "a vaccine injury". Unknown means that, at this time, NO ONE KNOWS what Nick Nemeroff died of.



It also means that anyone who claims that Nick Nemeroff died of this cause or that cause is lying to you.



Nick's older brother, Alex, said that his funeral would only take place after an autopsy was performed to determine the cause of death :

Former Hells Angels boss Maurice "Mom" Boucher, regarded as one of the most infamous criminals in Quebec history, has died.



Boucher suffered from generalized throat cancer while serving a life sentence at the Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines Penitentiary north of Montreal. He was in medical care at the time of his death. He was 69 years old.



Boucher was one of Quebec's most notorious criminals. After joining the Angels in the late 80s, he co-founded a local chapter in the 90s, and grew to control a multi-million dollar drug trafficking empire.



On May 6, 2002, he was jailed for ordering the assassination of two Quebec prison guards in 1997, Pierre Rondeau and Diane Lavigne.

NASCAR star Bobby East has died after being stabbed in the chest by a homeless man at a California gas station.



He was 37 years old.



Police have arrested Trent William Millsap, 27, a homeless man who allegedly stabbed the three-time US Auto Club (USAC) Champ three times in the chest as he fueled his vehicle at a Westminster gas station on Wednesday.



Emergency services rushed East to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.



"The victim was found on the ground suffering from a serious stab wound to the chest area," Westminister Police said in a statement via the Daily Mail. "Officers attempted life-saving measures until OCFA paramedics arrived and transported the victim to a local trauma center, where the victim succumbed to his injury."



Millsap is accused of stabbing another man at the gas station before stabbing East.

Actor and producer Tony Dow, best known for his role in the sitcom "Leave it to Beaver," died Monday morning, according to his official Facebook account.



Dow played Beaver's big brother, Wally, on the TV sitcom.



Dow's management team confirmed the news, saying:



"It is with an extremely heavy heart that we share with you the passing of our beloved Tony this morning."



"Tony was a beautiful soul - kind, compassionate, funny and humble. It was truly a joy to just be around him. His gentle voice and unpretentious manner was immediately comforting and you could not help but love him. The world has lost an amazing human being, but we are all richer for the memories that he has left us. From the warm reminiscences of Wally Cleaver to those of us fortunate enough to know him personally - thank you Tony. And thank you for the reflections of a simpler time, the laughter, the friendship and for the feeling that you were a big brother to us all."



"We will miss you," they added.

In a very bizarre development, the wife of Leave It To Beaver actor Tony Dow now says she was mistaken in announcing his death.



Dow is reportedly near death, receiving hospice care at home, with his son Christopher Dow now telling the media that his father is in "his last hours."



Los Angeles ABC reporter George Pennacchio just posted on Facebook that Dow's wife, Lauren, mistakenly thought her husband had died during the night at their home and mistakenly informed Dow's management that he had passed.



Deadline has reached out to Dow's management team for further comment, and has removed the obituary published earlier from the site.

Dow is reportedly near death, receiving hospice care at home, with his son Christopher Dow now telling the media that his father is in "his last hours."



Los Angeles ABC reporter George Pennacchio just posted on Facebook that Dow's wife, Lauren, mistakenly thought her husband had died during the night at their home and mistakenly informed Dow's management that he had passed.



Deadline has reached out to Dow's management team for further comment, and has removed the obituary published earlier from the site.

She was mistaken or high.

Bill Russell, the cornerstone of the Boston Celtics dynasty that won eight straight titles and 11 overall during his career, died Sunday. The Hall of Famer was 88.



Russell died "peacefully" with his wife, Jeannine, at his side, a statement posted on social media read. Arrangements for his memorial service will be announced soon, according to the statement.



The statement did not give the cause of death, but Russell was not well enough to present the NBA Finals MVP trophy in June because of a long illness.



"But for all the winning, Bill's understanding of the struggle is what illuminated his life. From boycotting a 1961 exhibition game to unmask too-long-tolerated discrimination, to leading Mississippi's first integrated basketball camp in the combustible wake of Medgar [Evers'] assassination, to decades of activism ultimately recognized by his receipt of the Presidential Medal of Freedom ... Bill called out injustice with an unforgiving candor that he intended would disrupt the status quo, and with a powerful example that, though never his humble intention, will forever inspire teamwork, selflessness and thoughtful change," the statement read.

Nichelle Nichols, who played the communications officer on the Starship Enterprise on "Star Trek" and famously participated in what was thought to be the first interracial kiss on television, has died.



Nichols died of heart failure Saturday night at a hospital in Silver City, N.M., a friend of the family handling media inquiries for Nichols' son confirmed Sunday to the Los Angeles Times. She was 89 years old.



Nichols suffered a stroke at her Woodland Hills in 2015 and was struggling with dementia, and had been in a years-long conservatorship battle with her son, a former manager and a close friend.



Nichols gained fame as the beautiful, composed, immensely competent Lt. Uhura on three "Star Trek" TV seasons and in six "Star Trek" movies. A Black American cast as a master of 23rd century intergalactic technology, she had a role that defied the typical portrayal of Black women as domestics or entertainers.



Nichols came to embrace her role and appeared at "Star Trek" events throughout her life. She became an eloquent advocate for the U.S. space program and led a successful drive to recruit women and minorities into astronaut training.



Elegant, assertive and capable of rigging up a subspace bypass circuit in practically no time at all, Uhura inspired a generation of Black women. Comedian Whoopi Goldberg, on first seeing Nichols when she was about 9, remembered running through the house yelling, "Everybody, come quick, come quick — there's a Black lady on television and she ain't no maid!"

Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully, whose dulcet tones provided the soundtrack of summer while entertaining and informing Dodgers fans in Brooklyn and Los Angeles for 67 years, died Tuesday night, the team said.



He was 94.



Scully died at his home in the Hidden Hills section of Los Angeles, according to the team, which spoke to family members.



As the longest-tenured broadcaster with a single team in pro sports history, Scully saw it all and called it all.



He began in the 1950s era of Pee Wee Reese and Jackie Robinson, on to the 1960s with Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax, into the 1970s with Steve Garvey and Don Sutton, and through the 1980s with Orel Hershiser and Fernando Valenzuela.



In the 1990s, it was Mike Piazza and Hideo Nomo, followed by Clayton Kershaw, Manny Ramirez and Yasiel Puig in the 21st century.



The Dodgers changed players, managers, executives, owners — and even coasts — but Scully and his soothing, insightful style remained a constant for the fans.

Last Wednesday Bed Bath & Beyond announced it will be closing 150 stores as it struggles to restructure its business. The retailer also announced it would be laying off 20% of its workforce.



The police did not provide further details on the circumstances leading to Arnal's death and said the New York City Medical Examiner's Office would determine the cause of death. Bed Bath & Beyond confirmed his death in a press statement on Sunday but gave no details.

The police did not provide further details on the circumstances leading to Arnal's death and said the New York City Medical Examiner's Office would determine the cause of death. Bed Bath & Beyond confirmed his death in a press statement on Sunday but gave no details.

Speaking of jumping to end one's life, there was a rumour that someone jumped to his/her death inside the Calgary Central Library last month though there isn't anything official that states this. The news just said that there was a tragic incident in the library that involved a mental health crisis. The news further added that the city would provide counsellors to all the staff and patrons who witnessed the incident who feel they need counselling. The library was closed for a few days after that incident and it reopened on the Friday of that week.



The day the library reopened, I was in the library to meet a friend. It was weird being back there after knowing there was a tragic incident in there just a few days ago.

Buckingham Palace announced Thursday that Queen Elizabeth II is under medical supervision at Balmoral Castle.



"Following further evaluation this morning, The Queen's doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision," Buckingham Palace said in a statement.



Buckingham Palace did not specify what was causing the concern. The Royal Family added that the Queen is comfortable at the residence.



Earlier this year, the 96-year-old celebrated her Platinum Jubilee but was forced to miss some of the festivities due to health concerns.



Earlier this week, she accepted the resignation of outgoing British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Later the same day, she met with new Prime Minister Liz Truss.



"The whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace this lunchtime," Truss said in a midday tweet. "My thoughts - and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom - are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time."



CNN reported that the Queen's son Prince Charles and the Queen's grandson Prince William have traveled to Balmoral.

Longtime CNN anchor Bernard Shaw has died.



The pioneering Black broadcaster is best remembered for calmly reporting the beginning of the Gulf War in 1991 as missiles flew around him in Baghdad.



Shaw passed away on Wednesday of pneumonia unrelated to Covid-19, according to a statement from his family obtained by CNN.



He was the network's first chief anchor when it launched in June 1980. Shaw was at CNN for 20 years and was known for remaining cool under pressure. That was a hallmark of his coverage Baghdad coverage when the U.S. led its invasion of Iraq in 1991 to liberate Kuwait, with CNN airing stunning footage of airstrikes and anti-aircraft fire in the capital city.



The family said funeral services will be closed to family and invited guests only, with a public memorial service planned at a later time.

I'd preder to sever all ties to the British crown and replace it with a popularly elected head of state.

I didn't hate the woman.... but I didn't know her personally or particularly like what her title represented... a form of genetic slavery.... and not just for those not in her family but IN her family.



These people are trapped in their titles and few abandon them unless it's not going to be a comfortable life to do otherwise.



One of my ancestors was a 3rd born princess which at the time often meant squat and they either married off to the middle class or had a chaotic and sometimes shortened lifespan.



So, Elizabeth seemed nicer than most despite marrying a dimwit and producing a complete fuckwit... but she ain't my family.

She was constantly polite, empathetic on occasions, and she stayed out of politics. For that, I'm grateful that a pampered person based on fucking bloodlines was never an open cunt.



But we didn't really know her so we can't mourn a person like that....

Louise Fletcher, a late-blooming star whose riveting performance as the cruel and calculating Nurse Ratched in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" set a new standard for screen villains and won her an Academy Award, has died at age 88.



Fletcher died in her sleep surrounded by family at her home in Montdurausse, France, her agent David Shaul told The Associated Press on Friday. No cause was given.



After putting her career on hold for years to raise her children, Fletcher was in her early 40s and little known when chosen for the role opposite Jack Nicholson in the 1975 film by director Milos Forman, who had admired her work the year before in director Robert Altman's "Thieves Like Us." At the time, she didn't know that many other prominent stars, including Anne Bancroft, Ellen Burstyn and Angela Lansbury, had turned it down.



"I was the last person cast," she recalled in a 2004 interview. "It wasn't until we were halfway through shooting that I realized the part had been offered to other actresses who didn't want to appear so horrible on the screen."



"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" went on to become the first film since 1934′s "It Happened One Night" to win best picture, best director, best actor, best actress and best screenplay.



Clutching her Oscar at the 1976 ceremony, Fletcher told the audience, "It looks as though you all hated me."



She then addressed her deaf parents in Birmingham, Alabama, talking and using sign language: "I want to thank you for teaching me to have a dream. You are seeing my dream come true."



A moment of silence was followed by thunderous applause.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Loretta Lynn, the Kentucky coal miner's daughter whose frank songs about life and love as a woman in Appalachia pulled her out of poverty and made her a pillar of country music, has died. She was 90.



In a statement provided to The Associated Press, Lynn's family said she died Tuesday at her home in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee.



Lynn already had four children before launching her career in the early 1960s, and her songs reflected her pride in her rural Kentucky background.



As a songwriter, she crafted a persona of a defiantly tough woman, a contrast to the stereotypical image of most female country singers. The Country Music Hall of Famer wrote fearlessly about sex and love, cheating husbands, divorce and birth control and sometimes got in trouble with radio programmers for material from which even rock performers once shied away.



Her biggest hits came in the 1960s and '70s, including "Coal Miner's Daughter," "You Ain't Woman Enough," "The Pill," "Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)," "Rated X" and "You're Looking at Country." She was known for appearing in floor-length, wide gowns with elaborate embroidery or rhinestones, many created by her longtime personal assistant and designer Tim Cobb.



Her honesty and unique place in country music was rewarded. She was the first woman ever named entertainer of the year at the genre's two major awards shows, first by the Country Music Association in 1972 and then by the Academy of Country Music three years later.



"It was what I wanted to hear and what I knew other women wanted to hear, too," Lynn told the AP in 2016. "I didn't write for the men; I wrote for us women. And the men loved it, too."

Angela Lansbury, the London-born actress who for seven decades brought a commanding, ladylike presence to stage, screen and television — especially over the 12 years she played dauntless mystery novelist Jessica Fletcher on CBS' Murder, She Wrote — has died. She was 96.



"The children of Dame Angela Lansbury are sad to announce that their mother died peacefully in her sleep at home in Los Angeles at 1:30 a.m. today, Tuesday, October 11, 2022, just five days shy of her 97th birthday," her family says in a statement.



Lansbury won five Tony Awards, most recently in 2009 for best featured actress in a play for her work in Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit."



Her best known work on the Great White Way was probably as ghoulish pie maker Nellie Lovett, in "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street." She cooked up a Tony for best musical actress in 1979 for that role.



Her other three Tony wins were for best actress in a musical for "Mame" in 1966, "Dear World" in 1969 and "Gypsy" in 1975.



The actor had already enjoyed a long and successful career when she took on the small-screen role that many Americans will remember most — as mystery writer and amateur crime fighter Jessica Fletcher on the CBS Sunday night hit "Murder, She Wrote."



"Murder" ran for 12 seasons, from 1984 to 1996, with Lansbury playing a widowed mystery writer whose keen observations always outwitted criminals and even the local police before the real killer would be unmasked within the hour.

[size=150]Jerry Lee Lewis, free-wheeling 'wild man' of rock 'n' roll, dies at 87[/size]



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F569_t2jCio



Jerry Lee Lewis, the rock 'n' roll trailblazer and piano virtuoso who electrified audiences with his raucous, free-wheeling performances but attracted scandal after he married his 13-year-old cousin, died Friday, his publicist said.



He was 87.



Lewis was a consummate showman who gleefully blended the styles of Black rhythm-and-blues musicians, country crooners and ecstatic Pentecostal preachers. He was nicknamed "the Killer," and his admirers believed he could be the next Elvis Presley.



In performances on stages and television screens, Lewis delighted audiences with flamboyant shenanigans. He stomped on his piano, tapped the keys with his feet and hopped around with devil-may-care verve while belting out popular songs like "Great Balls of Fire."



"He pounded the piano with such abandon that it's a wonder it didn't come apart. He is a defiant, reckless, indefatigable wild man that can rock you into oblivion," the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame said when he was inducted in 1986.

[size=150]Legendary comedian Gallagher dead at 76[/size]



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no0wTXJpQX4



The comedian Gallagher, best known for smashing watermelons with a sledgehammer, has died. He was 76.



His former longtime manager, Craig Marquardo, confirmed with Fox News Digital that he passed away surrounded by his loved ones in California.



"After a short health battle, Gallagher, born Leo Gallagher, succumbed to his ailments and passed away surrounded by his family in Palm Springs, California. He had previously suffered numerous heart attacks, something he and David Letterman talked about on an appearance a few years back."



Gallagher became a household name in 1980 with his comedy special "An Uncensored Evening," which was directed by Mike Nesmith of "The Monkees" fame. It was the first comedy stand-up special ever to air on cable television. He went on to do 12 more for Showtime over the next 27 years.

About ten minutes ago I sent a dm to the owner requesting she move They Keep Dropping thread here. I shoould have also asked that she move the three main COVID threads as well.



If you do move them Erica, combine this thread with one of them.



Pants On Fire



The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) telling people to "stop" taking ivermectin for COVID-19 was informal and just a recommendation, government lawyers argued during a recent hearing.



"The cited statements were not directives. They were not mandatory. They were recommendations. They said what parties should do. They said, for example, why you should not take ivermectin to treat COVID-19. They did not say you may not do it, you must not do it. They did not say it's prohibited or it's unlawful. They also did not say that doctors may not prescribe ivermectin," Isaac Belfer, one of the lawyers, told the court during the Nov. 1 hearing in federal court in Texas.

Toronto Maple Leafs legend Börje Salming has died after a battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS.) He was 71.



The team released a statement on Thursday announcing the death on behalf of the Salming family, saying he was a "pioneer of the game and an icon with an unbreakable spirit and unquestioned toughness."



"He helped open the door for Europeans in the NHL and defined himself through his play on the ice and through his contributions to the community," Maple Leafs President Brendan Shanahan wrote.





"Börje joined the Maple Leafs 50 years ago and will forever be part of our hockey family. We extend our deepest condolences to his wife, Pia, his children Theresa, Anders, Rasmus, Bianca, Lisa and Sara and brother Stieg.

 Yeah....a lot of morticians are saying this and showing the bizzare substances they are finding in bodies.



 It's pretty disturbing.



 Nothing is gonna make these establishment shills pause or consider or accept anything that deviates from the politcal hate narratives they hold more dear than humanity itself though.



 Their "side" could go full blown totalitarian and murder and imprison people for opposing them and they would support it at this point.  Admin thinks what's happening to women being forced to share prison cells with males because now rapists and murderers know they can SAY magic words and get specail treatment and transfers is some big fucking joke.  He doesnt listen or care....he just spews and mocks :(



 So not only do we have to fight and push back against government but our own fellow citizens who now hate us to the point where they would support any harm their government or activists do.



 Theyve crossed over into a very dark and very hateful mentality.

 We have a great stage set to accuse everyone who comes out talking about this to be branded a misinfo spreader.



 I guess they made a doc ...."Died Suddenly".  I have an anti vaxx(legit anti vaxx....she opposed vaccines back in the day before covid) conspiracy minded friend.  She can difficult to reason with at times.  



 We have had many arguments about the notorious Bill Gates "admitting depopulation" Ted Talk quote. People believe he was saying they will depopulate with vaccines. That's not what he was saying at all.  Now I fucking hate Bill Gates. I think he is a piece of shit. I'm no defender of him. And I know about the polio vaccine incident with the third world children. So....I'm not shilling for the creepy scum bag. But he did NOT say what people claim he said. At ALL.



 This doc addresses that quote and I wish it didnt.



 These weird noodles have been getting pulled out of dead bodies for over a year now.  And if it is bio warfare its fucking brilliant. Because no one is gonna know until you are dead and being embalmed. "They" found a way to drop people dead without making them suffer(aside from those with extreme adverse events who didnt die)....upwards of months after the shot, likelihood increasing with each dumb booster....that is not and cannot be detected by medical doctors unless they physically go into your body.  



 Scans will say its clots. So theyll give blood thinners and call it a day.



 No one knows your body is full of fucking ramen noodles until you are being embalmed. And since embalmers are NOT really "medical professionals".....they are not forensic pathologists and they dont do autopsies this shit doesnt really get the reports and attention.



 I saw the doc "fact checkers" and it didnt address a single thing actually said and didnt properly represent the points. So there is that. The doc has all the typical hokey manipulation shit as every other but the info presented is real.

You didn't answer my question.  But, I will answer yours. I don't know who her doctor was. I also don't know if he's still practicing. I don't know what her vaccination status was, not that it matters. All the Gillan family is saying for now is that she suffered from a protracted illness.

I know three members of Deep Purple recently caught COVID. What I don't know is the protracted illness that caused Bron Gillan's death and neither do you. Not unless you are pals with her famous husband.

If either of them were current performers, they had to get jabbed.



True.... we don't know unless we look up their movements online... BUT if they performed, they had to get JABBED!  ac_smile

I know three members of Deep Purple recently caught COVID. What I don't know is the protracted illness that caused Bron Gillan's death and neither do you. Not unless you are pals with her famous husband.


Look, I'm honestly and really sorry if you or any of your family got jabbed. Some of my brothers and a sister got jabbed too. So did a mixed ratio of my wife's family early on.... which I also consider every much a part of my own family. I love them equally. We are family.



...but the issues only comes from the jabbed family members. The data is clearly showing that jabbed people are suffering worse all around the world.



So when you see nominally wealthy people succumb to death at an early age, or people battling conditions die now... the obvious conclusion is JABBED.



I wish for your continued existence, but ultimately.... you're jabbed. I wouldn't bet on it if it was a horse race.



I understand your health concerns but suggest to you that you tell everyone below you to never get another shot again.



That could be your saving grace.

Hall of Fame running back Franco Harris has died at the age of 72.



Harris won the Super Bowl four times with the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 1970s but was most famous for making the catch that became known as the 'Immaculate Reception' in 1972.



With the Steelers trailing at the end of a play-off game with the Oakland Raiders, a pass ricocheted to Harris and he ran in a game-winning touchdown.



In 2019 the play was voted as the greatest in NFL history.



With 22 seconds left in the AFC divisional play-off on 23 December 1972, Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw attempted a throw towards John Fuqua but the ball bounced towards Harris, who stooped to catch the loose ball before charging down the sideline to claim a 60-yard touchdown.



That helped Pittsburgh to a 13-7 win - their first in the play-offs - and although they did not reach the Super Bowl that season, Harris went on to help them become NFL champions four times in the next seven years.



The Steelers are set to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception on Saturday when they again host the Raiders, who are now based in Las Vegas, and Harris' famous number 32 will also be retired.



"We have lost an incredible football player, an incredible ambassador to the Hall and most importantly, we have lost one of the finest gentlemen anyone will ever meet," said Hall of Fame president Jim Porter.

Pelé, the Brazilian king of soccer who won a record three World Cups and became one of the most commanding sports figures of the last century, died Thursday. He was 82.



The standard-bearer of "the beautiful game" had undergone treatment for colon cancer since 2021. He had been hospitalized for the last month with multiple ailments.



His agent Joe Fraga confirmed his death.



Different sources, counting different sets of games, list Pelé's goal totals anywhere between 650 (league matches) and 1,281 (all senior matches, some against low-level competition.)



The player who would be dubbed "The King" was introduced to the world at 17 at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, the youngest player ever at the tournament. He was carried off the field on teammates' shoulders after scoring two goals in Brazil's 5-2 victory over the host country in the final.



Injury limited him to just two games when Brazil retained the world title in 1962, but Pelé was the emblem of his country's World Cup triumph of 1970 in Mexico. He scored in the final and set up Carlos Alberto with a nonchalant pass for the last goal in a 4-1 victory over Italy.



The image of Pelé in a bright, yellow Brazil jersey, with the No. 10 stamped on the back, remains alive with soccer fans everywhere. As does his trademark goal celebration — a leap with a right fist thrust high above his head.

Barbara Walters, a broadcast legend and pioneer who became the first woman to co-host a morning and evening newscast, died at age 93, ABC News announced during a live special report Friday.



"We were all influenced by Barbara Walters," ABC News' David Muir said in a tribute Friday, remembering Walters as an "extraordinary human being, journalist, pioneer, legend."



"She broke barriers behind the scenes and she broke news on-camera. She got people to say things they never would've said to another journalist."



She made her on-air debut in 1956, when as a writer for CBS' "The Morning Show," she and four other young women modeled modest one-piece bathing suits. In 1961, she became NBC's "Today Girl," and in 1974, the first female co-host of "Today." In 1976, she was disastrously teamed with Harry Reasoner, as co-anchors of ABC's "Evening News." Reasoner didn't think much of her, and he didn't hide it.



But she "survived," as she put it, and enjoyed a long career at ABC interviewing celebrities and politicians, including Egypt's Anwar Sadat and Israel's Menachem Begin (together, for the first time, in 1977). She had a successful run on newsmagazine "20/20" and in 1997, launched "The View," ABC's daily chatfest aimed at women.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, the shy German theologian who tried to reawaken Christianity in a secularized Europe but will forever be remembered as the first pontiff in 600 years to resign from the job, died Saturday. He was 95.



Pope Francis will celebrate his funeral Mass in St. Peter's Square on Thursday, an unprecedented event in which a current pope will celebrate the funeral of a former one.



Benedict stunned the world on Feb. 11, 2013, when he announced, in his typical, soft-spoken Latin, that he no longer had the strength to run the 1.2 billion-strong Catholic Church that he had steered for eight years through scandal and indifference.



His dramatic decision paved the way for the conclave that elected Francis as his successor. The two popes then lived side-by-side in the Vatican gardens, an unprecedented arrangement that set the stage for future "popes emeritus" to do the same.



A statement from Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni on Saturday morning said that: "With sorrow I inform you that Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI died today at 9:34 in the Mater Ecclesia Monastery in the Vatican. Further information will be released as soon as possible."

[size=150]Robbie Knievel, daredevil son of Evel Knievel, dies at 60[/size]



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UbdUFtS-f4



Robbie Knievel, son of legendary stuntman Evel Knievel, has died at the age of 60, his brother, Kelly Knievel told CBS News on Friday. Robbie Knievel died of pancreatic cancer after being in hospice for three days.



"It was expected," his brother told CBS News. "He was in Reno with his three daughters by his side."



Known as "Kaptain Robbie Knievel," Robbie Knievel had his own daredevil career with 350 jumps and 20 world records, according to his biography on his official website. Knievel was married once and divorced, his brother said.



"Daredevils don't live easy lives," his brother said. "But, it's what they do."



Kelly Knievel said his brother should be remembered for what he did best.



"He was a great daredevil," he said. "If you look at his jumps, that's what he should be known for. It's what he loved doing."

Italian film legend Gina Lollobrigida, who achieved international stardom during the 1950s and was dubbed "the most beautiful woman in the world" after the title of one of her movies, died in Rome on Monday, her agent said. She was 95.



The agent, Paola Comin, didn't provide details. Lollobrigida had surgery in September to repair a thigh bone broken in a fall. She returned home and said she had quickly resumed walking.



Culture minister Gennaro Sangiuliano wrote on Twitter: "Farewell to a diva of the silver screen, protagonist of more than half a century of Italian cinema history. Her charm will remain eternal."



A drawn portrait of the diva graced a 1954 cover of Time magazine, which likened her to a "goddess" in an article about Italian movie-making. More than a half-century later, Lollobrigida still turned heads with her brown, curly hair and statuesque figure, and preferred to be called an actress instead of the gender-neutral term actor.

Overall, I have a different view of the jab than most. I absolutely believe it kills some people and injures more. I also believe covid infections kill people. My wife is jabbed and no obvious ill effects after 2 years. I'm not jabbed and caught covid the first time before anyone else I know did. The real question for people like me and my wife is: does the jab do any good? I believe the answer is: If it does any good, its very little. My conclusion is: the jab isnt worth it.

The real question for people like me and my wife is: does the jab do any good? I believe the answer is: If it does any good, its very little. My conclusion is: the jab isnt worth it.

Seems sensible. I encounter people who have been jabbed every day, very little to distinguish the mudbloods from the Purebloods at first blush. It does seem that those who lined up for the gazetted benefits of special sauce were sold a faulty bill of goods - if anything they seem to be more likely to catch the Pinko Pox, not less.



Obviously I haven't conducted any rigorous scientific study into it, these are merely observations I've made over the two years this shit has been getting pumped out. The jabbed do seem to enjoy an elevated risk for reinfection, disappearing two or three weeks over the course of a variant while unjabbed seem to recover more quickly, if they catch it at all. Given the reports of HIV proteins in the disease as well as the supposed MRNA preventatives, the conclusion that immune systems were compromised is an easy one to make.  



This is in addition to the reports of people dying suddenly or developing various and sometimes serious life altering conditions. Our governments are quick to boast market penetration figures (whenever they aren't trying to market the unjabbed as some sort of existential threat to the jabbed that is), all which says to me that your proposition of "if it does any good, it is very little" is a valid one. Potato headed promises of "a winter of severe illness and death" don't quite stack up against the promise of the vast preponderance of people being jabbed... unless I want to factor in the cases of sports stars and celebrities boasting their status, chiding the unvaccinated to get off their duff and join the party, then swaying drunkenly for no readily apparent reason before collapsing in a corner somewhere. Not a good look, though realistically I have to remind myself that while this is happening at seemingly alarming and unprecedented rates, it is still only a miniscule fraction of the world's population who are cashing in their chips in the pursuit of turning us all into human pincushions.



People have been dying for longer than you and I have been alive. Generally it's not the fit and healthy doing it, but that group certainly aren't immune to doing that either. I'm not going to let it pass unremarked when they extoll the virtues of treatment efficacy and the good health it brings immediately before they take to bench pressing a pine casket box lid as morticians are pulling clumps of congealed silly string out of their arteries. Maybe it did stop you from getting covid... fat fucken lot of good it did you, eh? I can't pretend to know for sure, but I can tell you that it wouldn't be the first time that a treatment had been marketed as harmless and the people getting fucked up by it dismissed as "anti-vaxxers". Why, it seems like only yesterday that Dove and I were locking horns over the subject of one Andrew Wakefield and his research. It might interest you to learn the CDC spent four long years in an attempt to fiddle the figures on the rise and rise of autism and its apparent tendency to disproportionately affect porch monkeys sproglings.



In the balance? I am strongly of the opinion that "the vax" is little more than a marketing exercise aimed at enriching a few peoples pockets with no discernable benefits for the rest of us. Where previous rollouts of treatments held quantifiable positives in terms of health, this current one appears to have none while sharing the same risks as ALL medical treatments - some are going to get an adverse effect to it. 100% Safe And Effective is total bullshit, there is no One Size Fits All approach to be had.



I shall continue to do my thing. One day I too shall die, as will we all. In the case of the sniffles, I can and shall remain staunch in not taking an experimental treatment for which the long term effects are yet to be documented and the short term ones extremely iffy. If anyone has a problem with that, I don't care. If someone is incapable of trusting their immune response or the shit their jamming into their veins to prevent them from catching a cold, they need to deal with it on a personal level instead of externalizing it and making it all about me.



Because in spite of the clear and present danger I was badgered about endlessly for the last couple of years, I'm doing just fine without it.

 I still view Wakefeild as a grifter and a quack and I think he has done a lot of harm.....the important thing is autonomy. No one should ever be forced to have any medical intervention (given they in their right mind).

Not sure how highlighting CDC studies can be construed as doing harm, after all isn't that what a fair few of us have been doing here in ferreting out results that others wished remained hidden? I find it interesting that when concerns were raised regarding the MMR, Merck immediately pulled all alternative treatments that were perfectly fine up to that point, effectively leaving the MMR as the only solution on the table.



Kind of like how Ivermectin suddenly became a dirty word early on in the piece as regards to Covid. History never repeats, though it does have a tendency to echo.

Lisa Loring, the actress best known for portraying Wednesday Addams in "The Addams Family," has died, her family confirmed to Variety on Sunday night.



She died following a stroke, Variety reported. She was 64 years old.



Loring starred in the original version of the series starting in 1964, when she was only 6 years old. She stayed on for both seasons before the show went off the air.



Her iconic character Wednesday, known for her moody demeanor and long pigtails, has had a resurgence in popularity in recent months since the release of Netflix's "Wednesday." In the new series, Jenna Ortega plays a teenage Wednesday Addams. One scene of her dancing in the show has gone viral.



To choreograph the dance, Ortega said she drew inspiration from Loring's portrayal of Wednesday, who had her own signature dance moves.

I remember DD was doing who is boring, but predictable jabbed thing when Naomi Judd died. She shot herself.



Bobby Hull looked bloated, overweight and rough for about fifteen years. I am surprised he lived to be eighty four.



Hull was a trendsetting player. Nobody cqan deny that. But, he was high maintenance and controversy followed him everywhere. Sportswriter Gare Joyce's 2011 book, The Devil and Bobby Hull: How Hockey's Original Million-Dollar Man Became the Game's Lost Legend, chronicles how Hull's private life "became scandal."

Canadian groundhog Fred la Marmotte died before he could predict the arrival of the spring season on Groundhog Day on Thursday.



Fred, 9, was found dead overnight by Roberto Blondin, the organizer of the annual la Jour de Fred event — or Fred's day — in Val-d'Espoir, Quebec, Reuters reported.



According to The Guardian, Fred showed "no vital signs" after Blondin tried to wake him, local media reported. Blondin said Fred may have died last year while in hibernation, per Reuters. "In life, the only thing that's certain is that nothing is certain," Blondin said, according to the outlet. "Well, this year it's true. It's sadly true. I announce to you that Fred is dead."



The event went on without Fred, as Blondin gave a stuffed toy version of a groundhog to a child standing in the sun to honor the tradition.



A shadow was cast, forecasting that spring will be delayed and that winter will be prolonged for another six weeks.

We got ground squirrels here. Badgers make their holes bigger to get at them and cattle step in the big holes and can break a leg. That's why I shoot badgers on site. They also decimate my chicken coop.

One of the most accomplished pop music composers of the 20th century, Burt Bacharach, has died at age 94. The musical maestro behind 52 top 40 hits including "Alfie," "Walk on By," "Promises, Promises," "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head," "What the World Needs Now is Love" and "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?," Bacharach had an untouchable run in the 1960s and 1970s with a wide range of pop, R&B and soul artists. According to the Associated Press, Bacharach died on Wednesday (Feb. 8) at his home in Los Angeles of natural causes.



Working with lyricist partner Hal David, Bacharach and David were dubbed the "Rodgers & Hart" of the '60s, with a unique style featuring instantly hummable melodies and atypical arrangements that folded in everything from jazz and pop to Brazilian grooves and rock.



Many of their songs were popularized by Dionne Warwick, whose singing style inspired Bacharach to experiment with new rhythms and harmonies, composing such innovative melodies as "Anyone Who Had a Heart" and "I Say a Little Prayer."



Bacharach is survived by his adopted son, Christopher, as well as two children with his fourth wife, Jane Hansen, Oliver and daughter Raleigh.

Gary Rossington, the last original member of legendary rock band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, has died.



The guitarist, behind such memorable songs as "Freebird" and "Sweet Home Alabama," passed away Sunday, according to a statement released by the band.



Although his cause of death was not disclosed, Rossington suffered from a series of heart-related issues over the years, including a heart attack in 2015. He also received an emergency heart procedure in 2019.



Rossington was aboard a plane that crashed after it ran out of fuel over Mississippi in October 1977, killing three of his bandmates: lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines and his sister and backing vocalist Cassie Gaines.



Gary Rossington was seventy one.

[size=150]Jerry Samuels, Creator of Novelty Hit, Dead at 84[/size]



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e13YjTPb_0



Jerry Samuels, who under the name Napoleon XIV recorded one of the 1960s' strangest and most successful novelty songs, "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!," died on March 10 in Phoenixville, Pa. He was 84.



His son Jason said the cause was complications of dementia and Parkinson's disease.



Mr. Samuels had had modest success as a songwriter and was working as an engineer at Associated Recording Studios in New York when, in 1966, he and a fellow engineer, Nat Schnapf, set a bit of doggerel that Mr. Samuels had written to — well, "music" may not be quite the right word, since the song consists of Mr. Samuels rhythmically talking over a backing of tambourine, snare and bass drums, and clapping.



"They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!" was, by any measure, one of the most bizarre records to come out in any year. It took off like, well, like crazy, reaching #3 in the U.S. and #4 in the U.K.



The single's B-side was "!aaaH-aH ,yawA eM ekaT ot gnimoC er'yehT," the same recording played backwards.

Al Jaffee, a cartoonist who folded in when the trend in magazine publishing was to fold out, thereby creating one of Mad magazine's most recognizable and enduring features, died on Monday in Manhattan. He was 102.



His death, at a hospital, was caused by multi-system organ failure, his granddaughter Fani Thomson said.



It was in 1964 that Mr. Jaffee created the Mad Fold-In, an illustration-with-text feature on the inside of the magazine's back cover that seemed at first glance to deliver a straightforward message. When the page was folded in thirds, however, both illustration and text were transformed into something entirely different and unexpected, often with a liberal-leaning or authority-defying message.



"It was supposed to be really a one-shot," he said in a 1993 interview with The Kansas City Star. "But because of the overwhelming demand of three or four of my relatives, it went on to a second time, and on and on."



That "on and on" turned into a career that included other memorable contributions to Mad, like a "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions" feature, and that in 2007 won him cartooning's top honor, the Reuben Award, putting him in the company of Charles M. Schulz, Mort Walker, Gary Larson, Matt Groening and other luminaries of the trade.

 The White woman who accused Black teen Emmett Till of making sexual advances toward her before he was brutally beaten and lynched by her then-husband has died, multiple outlets report.



According to The New York Times, the Associated Press and Mississippi Today, citing the Calcasieu Parish Coroner's Office, Carolyn Bryant Donham died Tuesday while in hospice care in Westlake, La. She was 88.



Mississippi Today reports Donham had cancer at the time of her death.



Donham, who was a 21-year-old shopkeeper in Money, Miss., at the time of Till's killing, accused the teen of propositioning her and lewdly grabbing her at her family's grocery store on Aug. 24, 1955.



Several days after the accusations, the teen was kidnapped from a relative's home in the middle of the night, beaten and lynched.



Photographs of Till's mutilated body taken at his funeral in Chicago were printed in the media and caused outrage around the country and overseas. His lynching, and the subsequent acquittal of his killers, became a catalyst of the national civil rights movement.

haha... sore throat, not sore thought although I do have sore thoughts.



yeast infections are caused, or remain a problem if you drink alcohol or your blood sugar is high. I don't drink alcohol and my blood sugar is under control. Everyday is a fight to keep blood sugar levels under control.



We should do a topic here about it because everyone here is facing a future of poor health from their poor current habits.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Jim Brown, the unstoppable running back who retired at the peak of his brilliant career to become an actor as well as a prominent civil rights advocate during the 1960s, has died. He was 87.



A spokeswoman for Brown's family said he passed away peacefully in his Los Angeles home on Thursday night with his wife, Monique, by his side.



One of the greatest players in football history and one of the game's first superstars, Brown was chosen the NFL's Most Valuable Player in 1965 and shattered the league's record books in a short career spanning 1957-65.



Brown led the Cleveland Browns to their last NFL title in 1964 before retiring in his prime after the '65 season to become an actor. He appeared in more than 30 films, including "Any Given Sunday" and "The Dirty Dozen."



An unstoppable runner with power, speed and endurance, Brown's arrival sparked the game's burgeoning popularity on television.



As Black Americans fought for equality, Brown used his platform and voice to advance their cause.

[size=150]'Queen of rock 'n' roll' Tina Turner dies at 83[/size]



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPf-nEtxO3E



Tina Turner, the American-born singer who left a hardscrabble farming community and abusive relationship to become one of the top recording artists of all time, died on Wednesday at the age of 83.



She died peacefully after a long illness in her home in Küsnacht near Zurich, Switzerland, her representative said.



Turner began her career in the 1950s during the early years of rock and roll and evolved into an MTV phenomenon.



In the video for her chart-topping song "What's Love Got to Do with It," in which she called love a "second-hand emotion," Turner epitomized 1980s style as she strutted through New York City streets with her spiky blond hair, wearing a cropped jean jacket, mini skirt, and stiletto heels.



With her taste for musical experimentation and bluntly-worded ballads, Turner gelled perfectly with a 1980s pop landscape in which music fans valued electronically-produced sounds and scorned hippie-era idealism.



Sometimes nicknamed the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll," Turner won six of her eight Grammy Awards in the 1980s. The decade saw her land a dozen songs on the Top 40, including "Typical Male," "The Best," "Private Dancer" and "Better Be Good to Me." Her 1988 show in Rio de Janeiro drew 180,000 people, which remains one of the largest concert audiences for any single performer.

Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network and former presidential candidate, died Thursday at age 93, CBN announced.



CBN said he died at his home surrounded by family. The cause of his death was not announced.



Robertson founded the influential Christian Broadcasting Network in 1960 and anchored its top program "The 700 Club" until 2021. As the show grew in popularity, so did Robertson. Using his popularity, he helped make religion a big part of Republican politics and ushered in the early evangelical right movement.



Robertson took a brief hiatus from the show in 1987 and 1988 to vie for the Republican presidential nomination, coming in third behind then-Vice President George Bush and Sen. Bob Dole.



Robertson's "The 700 Club" grew from a telethon when Robertson asked 700 viewers to contribute $10 a month.  The program welcomed a number of U.S. presidents, including Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump.

Daniel Ellsberg, the whistleblower who leaked the "Pentagon Papers" about the Vietnam War — changing public perceptions of the conflict — died on Friday, his family announced. He was 92.



Ellsberg was a military analyst when he released thousands of documents to U.S. media in 1971 that revealed successive United States administrations had lied to the public about the Vietnam war.



The 7,000 classified pages determined that, contrary to the public assertions of U.S government officials, the conflict was unwinnable.



The leak was recounted in the 2017 Hollywood thriller "The Post," which detailed the nail-biting behind-the-scenes story of the papers' publication.



Ellsberg announced in March that doctors had told him on February 17 that he had terminal pancreatic cancer and only around six months to live.



"He was not in pain, and was surrounded by loving family," his wife and children said in a statement announcing his death.

[size=150]Alan Arkin, Oscar-Winning 'Little Miss Sunshine' Actor, Dead at 89[/size]



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILkyIHOOoq4



 Alan Arkin, the Academy Award and Tony Award-winning actor, has died at 89.



His death was confirmed to PEOPLE exclusively by his sons Adam, Matthew and Anthony, who jointly offered a statement on the family's behalf: "Our father was a uniquely talented force of nature, both as an artist and a man. A loving husband, father, grand and great grandfather, he was adored and will be deeply missed."



 Most recently, Arkin costarred in The Kominsky Method for Netflix alongside Michael Douglas, earning Emmy nominations in 2019 and 2020, and Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations in 2020 and 2021. In Little Miss Sunshine (2006), Arkin played Edwin Hoover, the grandfather of the dysfunctional family. His role — which only spanned 14 minutes of screen time — earned him an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Arkin's memorable turn in the 2012 Ben Affleck-directed political drama Argo earned him his fourth Oscar nomination. He played veteran producer Lester Siegel, whose sharp sense of humor and biting line delivery won over audiences.



His son, Adam Arkin, 66, is also a well-known actor and director who has starred on TV hits including Chicago Hope, 8 Simple Rules and Sons of Anarchy.

Sadly, it has come to my attention that Kevin aka Poofer has passed away. Details are sketchy at the moment but it seems, from what I've been told by his wife, is that he's succumbed to a rather horrible case of colon cancer.



It was like that scene in Green Mile, where Tom Hanks is whimpering when he was pissing in the yard...only the other end. Then, it was like that scene in Straight outta Compton when the doctor told eazy E the news he had aids. Poor Poofer knew only then he was never leaving the hospital.



I say unto you all, life is not a video game. You just don't respawn after you take too many shots to the chest.



Let us all grab a cold can of Bud Light and toast one of the greatest ever. He's building Fortnite castles in the sky.



RIP

Kevin Mitnick, whose pioneering antics tricking employees in the 1980s and 1990s into helping him steal software and services from big phone and tech companies made him the most celebrated U.S. hacker, has died at age 59.



Mitnick died Sunday in Las Vegas after a 14-month battle with pancreatic cancer, said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO of the security training firm KnowBe4, where Mitnick was chief hacking officer.



His colorful career — from student tinkerer to FBI-hunted fugitive, imprisoned felon and finally respected cybersecurity professional, public speaker and author tapped for advice by U.S. lawmakers and global corporations — mirrors the evolution of society's grasp of the nuances of computer hacking.



Through Mitnick's professional trajectory, and what many consider the misplaced prosecutorial zeal that put him behind bars for nearly five years until 2000, the public has learned how to better distinguish serious computer crime from the mischievious troublemaking of youths hellbent on proving their hacking prowess.



"He never hacked for money," said Sjouwerman, who became Mitnick's business partner in 2011. He was mostly after trophies, chiefly cellphone code, he said.

[size=150]Legendary crooner Tony Bennett dies at the age of 96[/size]



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT5VOnaGRSU



Legendary pop and jazz singer Tony Bennett has died at the age of 96.



Bennett, known for his performances with singers from Frank Sinatra to Lady Gaga, sold millions of records around the world and won 20 Grammys, including a lifetime achievement award, throughout his career.



One of the last of America's great crooners, Bennett released his first album in 1952 when he was in his mid-20s and went on to chart in the US in every subsequent decade of his life.



Bennett picked up his first Grammy for his signature 1962 song, I Left My Heart In San Francisco.



He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2016 and went public five years later. His positivity was clear from a reworking of one of his famous quotes shared on his social media accounts: "Life is a gift - even with Alzheimer's."



He went on to perform his final shows, alongside Lady Gaga, later that year, including after being awarded his 20th Grammy - at the tender age of 95.

The Eagles announce the death of founding member Randy Meisner at 77

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmInv4UcEB8

Randy Meisner, who was a co-founding member of legendary rock band the Eagles and served as a bassist and vocalist, has died, according to an announcement on the band's official site. He was 77.

"The Eagles are sad to report that founding member, bassist, and vocalist, Randy Meisner, passed away last night (July 26) in Los Angeles at age 77, due to complications from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD)," the statement, posted on Thursday, read.

"Randy was an integral part of the Eagles and instrumental in the early success of the band. His vocal range was astonishing, as is evident on his signature ballad, 'Take It to the Limit,'" said the Eagles.

Meisner's musical career began with Rick Nelson's Stone Canyon Band as their vocalist and bassist. He later joined country-rock band Poco as their original bass player in the 1960s before forming the Eagles in 1971 with the band's original members, Glenn Frey, Don Henley and Bernie Leadon.

Meisner contributed to some of the most iconic songs from the Eagles, including "Try and Love Again" and "Take it to the Limit," and is credited for his work on albums including "Eagles," "Desperado," "On The Border," "One of These Nights," and "Hotel California."

Joe the Plumber dead at 49 from Pancreatic Cancer

(https://i.imgur.com/rllsd83.jpg)

Joe Wurzelbacher, whom Americans would remember as "Joe the Plumber" from the 2008 presidential election, died on Sunday at the age of 49 from pancreatic cancer.

News of Wurzelbacher's death broke on Twitter late Sunday afternoon.

"Horrible news. My good friend Joe Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, passed away this morning at the age of 49 from pancreatic cancer. He was a good man and an exceptional friend.

Wurzelbacher became a household name during the 2008 presidential election when the media dubbed him "Joe the Plumber" after he questioned then-presidential candidate Barack Obama about his tax policy.

In 2016, Wurzelbacher endorsed then-candidate Donald Trump in an op-ed for Breitbart News.

"I don't know if we've passed it, but I know this: I support Donald Trump to try and restore us first to sanity, then back to greatness. If you don't believe the Constitution and our very way of life hang in the balance in this election, then you'd better start paying attention," he wrote.

Actor David McCallum, who became a teen heartthrob in the hit series "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." in the 1960s and was the eccentric medical examiner in the popular "NCIS" 40 years later, has died. He was 90.

McCallum died Monday of natural causes surrounded by family at New York Presbyterian Hospital, CBS said in a statement.

"David was a gifted actor and author, and beloved by many around the world. He led an incredible life, and his legacy will forever live on through his family and the countless hours on film and television that will never go away," said a statement from CBS.

Veteran actor Michael Gambon, who was known to many for his portrayal of Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore in six of the eight "Harry Potter" films, has died, his publicist said Thursday. He was 82.

A statement by his family, issued by his publicist, said he died following "a bout of pneumonia."

"We are devastated to announce the loss of Sir Michael Gambon. Beloved husband and father, Michael died peacefully in hospital with his wife Anne and son Fergus at his bedside," his family said.

No matter what role he took on in a career that lasted more than five decades, Gambon was always instantly recognizable by the deep and drawling tones of his voice. He was cast as the much-loved Dumbledore after the death of his predecessor, Richard Harris, in 2002.

Senator Dianne Feinstein Dies at 90

(https://i.imgur.com/DUw19cI.png)

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) has passed away at the age of 90.

Feinstein was nearing the end of her sixth Senate term after previously serving as Mayor of San Francisco.

The California Senator stepped down from her perch atop the powerful Judiciary Committee due to poor health and political pressure after bouts with illness had prevented her from reporting to work, most notably for three months in 2022, and reports of her diminished capacity, including her inability to remember her colleague's names.

The Senator's death comes as Congress is barreling towards a shutdown as government funding ends on September 30.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) will appoint her successor. He has said he would appoint an interim Senator in the event of Feinstein's death.

Dick Butkus, fearsome Hall of Fame Chicago Bears linebacker, dies at 80

CHICAGO — Dick Butkus, a fearsome middle linebacker for the Chicago Bears, has died, the team announced Thursday. He was 80.

According to a statement released by the team, Butkus' family confirmed that he died in his sleep overnight at his home in Malibu, California.

Butkus was a Hall of Famer whose bone-rattling tackles made him one of the most intimidating players in NFL history. He was the quintessential modern linebacker, a disruptive force who roamed sideline to sideline and left a trail of broken opponents behind.

He was a first-team All-Pro selection five times and made the Pro Bowl in eight of his nine seasons before knee injuries forced his retirement at age 31. Despite a short career, Butkus came to define his position. He routinely ranks among the NFL's top 100 players.

Playing off his tough-guy image, Butkus later acted in movies, TV shows and commercials.

Butkus was a Hall of Famer whose bone-rattling tackles made him one of the most intimidating players in NFL history. He was the quintessential modern linebacker, a disruptive force who roamed sideline to sideline and left a trail of broken opponents behind.

He was a first-team All-Pro selection five times and made the Pro Bowl in eight of his nine seasons before knee injuries forced his retirement at age 31. Despite a short career, Butkus came to define his position. He routinely ranks among the NFL's top 100 players.

Playing off his tough-guy image, Butkus later acted in movies, TV shows and commercials.

Dick Butkus was the meanest motherfucker I ever watched play football.  His goal every game was to knock someone out, and he succeeded in a lot of his games.  Today's NFL is Pussyball compared to how they played then.

I'm about to watch my Bears suck on National tv again.  That's an old tradition too.

Actress Piper Laurie, 3-time Oscar nominee, dies at 91

(https://i.imgur.com/KsclVUA.png)

Three-time Oscar nominee Piper Laurie has died at the age of 91, according to reports.

Laurie, star of movies like "Carrie" and "The Hustler," also starred in the television show "Twin Peaks," which provided two of her nine Emmy nominations.

She won her only Emmy for 1986's "Promises," in which she starred with James Wood and James Garner.

She was born Rosetta Jacobs in Detroit, but it was as a student at Los Angeles High School that her showbusiness career took off, Variety reports.

"She was plucked out of Los Angeles High School at age 17 and signed to a Universal contract for $250 a week, which would run up to $1,750 a week after seven years," the outlet said.

Laurie found much more success once she gained some autonomy from the film studios.

She leaves behind a daughter, Anne Grace.

Back in 75, I had seen Carrie but my roommate had not. At the end when her hand comes up out of the ground, I grabbed his foot. He let out a scream and the body jerk kind of elevated him above the couch. Funny as hell.

Suzanne Somers, who starred in "Three's Company," and later went on to become an advocate for a healthy lifestyle, has died following a lengthy battle with cancer.

The actress died early Sunday morning at her home, just one day before her 77th birthday, her publicist R. Couri Hay confirmed to CBS News.

"Suzanne was surrounded by her loving husband Alan, her son Bruce, and her immediate family," Hay told CBS News in a statement, adding that her family had gathered to celebrate her upcoming birthday.

"Instead, they will celebrate her extraordinary life, and want to thank her millions of fans and followers who loved her dearly."

She will be buried this week in a private ceremony, and a memorial will take place next month, Hay said.

Richard Moll, who found fame as a bailiff on the sitcom 'Night Court,' dies at 80

(https://i.imgur.com/zshzXdk.jpg)

Richard Moll, a character actor who found lasting fame as an eccentric but gentle giant bailiff on the original "Night Court" sitcom, has died. He was 80.

Moll died Thursday at his home in Big Bear Lake, California, according to Jeff Sanderson, a publicist at Chasen & Company.

Moll played "Bull" Shannon on NBC's "Night Court" from 1984-1992 alongside stars Harry Anderson and John Larroquette. His character formed a close friendship with the court's other bailiff, Roz Russell, played by Marsha Warfield. Bull was known for his catchphrase, "Ohh-kay," and a dim but sweet world view.

After "Night Court" ended, Moll contributed his trademark gravelly voice to various video games and comic book projects like "Batman: The Animated Series" as Harvey Dent and appeared in horror films like "Ghost Shark" (2013) and "Slay Belles" (2018).

He voiced Scorpion on the 1990s' "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" and had small parts in 1994's "The Flintstones," the Arnold Schwarzenegger comedy "Jingle All the Way" and "Scary Movie 2."

The towering actor — he was 6-feet 8-inches tall — did not join the reboot of "Night Court" starring Larroquette. The original "Night Court" finale ended with his character being abducted by aliens who needed someone tall to reach the things on their highest shelves.

Sorry to hear that. Parasites are a bitch. If you happen to get into that situation again, feeding it something laced with ivermectin monthly might help. I'm not familiar with lung worm treatment tho.

Yeah parasites are a bitch..

We need to help the wildlife but I don't know how practical that could be in practice...

I watch that Lion Whisperer guy and his animals are the epitome of excellent health and animals in captivity live twice as long as the harsh wild.

KEVIN has only 20 lions left and once they die from old age, he isn't going to replace them....


All his females are on birth control.

These people with a gift for managing such large dangerous animals are just amazing to me... When Kevin Richardson retires it will be a huge loss...

And when Deb the old lady who looks after urban foxes
can't do her job, she will be sorely missed too.


Actually, I have gone all soppy over animals these last few years. To the extent of wanting to go vegetarian. I will never be 100% vegetarian...it's unhealthy BUT temporary periods of vegetarianism really suits me. The only problem being vegetarian is, you are always hungry which is a bit annoying....

Henry Kissinger, who shaped world affairs under two presidents, dies at 100

(https://i.imgur.com/izMJJ1T.jpeg)

Henry A. Kissinger, a scholar, statesman and celebrity diplomat who wielded unparalleled power over U.S. foreign policy throughout the administrations of Presidents Richard M. Nixon and Gerald Ford, and who for decades afterward, as a consultant and writer, proffered opinions that shaped global politics and business, died Nov. 29 at his home in Connecticut. He was 100.

His death was announced in a statement by his consulting firm, which did not give a cause.

With his German accent, incisive wit, owlish looks and zest for socializing in Hollywood and dating movie stars, he was instantly recognized all over the world, in stark contrast to most of his understated predecessors. Shamelessly courting publicity, he was as much a star of the tabloids as he was of the heavy-duty quarterlies that ruminated over his ideas about geostrategy. When he was appointed secretary of state, a Gallup poll found him to be the most admired person in the country.

But he also became the target of relentless critics who deemed him unprincipled and amoral. He refrained from traveling to Oslo to accept the Nobel award for fear of hostile demonstrations — Tho rejected the prize outright — and in later years the animosity he inspired would intensify.

What he viewed as pragmatic, many writers and analysts regarded as unprincipled maneuvering, unguided by respect for human rights or even human life. Dr. Kissinger achieved power, fame and wealth beyond the dreams of most people in public life, yet he spent his final decades defending himself and his place in history, explaining that he did what he had to do.

TV producer, political activist Norman Lear dies at age 101

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbEyeo9xFC0

Legendary television producer Norman Lear, whose career spanned 75 years, died Tuesday at the age of 101, his family announced. He died from natural causes, his family said.

He is best known for writing and producing hit sitcoms, including "All in the Family," "The Jeffersons," "Sanford and Son" and "Good Times." He won six Primetime Emmy Awards, with his latest coming in 2022 for producing "Live in Front of a Studio Audience: All in the Family and Diff'rent Strokes."

Many of Lear's series tackled serious topics like racism, gun violence and mental health.

Lear also became a political activist, founding the People for the American Way in 1981. The left-leaning organization was founded in response to the election of President Ronald Reagan. The organization says it works to "defend freedom of expression, oppose censorship, uphold religious liberty, support access to the ballot, and more."

Toby Keith, country singer-songwriter, dies at 62 after stomach cancer diagnosis

(https://i.imgur.com/wiqrUa9l.jpeg)

Toby Keith, a hit country crafter of pro-American anthems who both riled up critics and was loved by millions of fans, has died. He was 62.

The "Should've Been a Cowboy" singer-songwriter, who had stomach cancer, died peacefully Monday surrounded by his family, according to a statement posted on the country singer's website. "He fought his fight with grace and courage," the statement said. He announced his cancer diagnosis in 2022.

The 6-foot-4 singer broke out in the country boom years of the 1990s, writing songs that fans loved to hear. Over his career he publicly clashed with other celebrities and journalists and often pushed back against record executives who wanted to smooth his rough edges.

He was known for his overt patriotism on post 9/11 songs like "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue," and boisterous barroom tunes like "I Love This Bar" and "Red Solo Cup." He had a powerful booming voice, a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor and range that carried love songs as well as drinking songs.

Among his 20 No. 1 Billboard hits were "How Do You Like Me Now?!," "As Good As I Once Was," "My List" and "Beer for My Horses," a duet with Willie Nelson. His influences were other working class songwriters like Merle Haggard and he tallied more than 60 singles on the Hot Country chart over his career.

Pop Tart Inventor Dies at 96 Ahead of Netflix Movie Adaptation

(https://i.imgur.com/6tC7CKSl.jpeg)

William "Bill" Post, the man credited with inventing the beloved Pop Tart died on Saturday, a Michigan funeral home confirmed to PEOPLE. He was 96.

Post's career in the food industry began at just 16 in Grand Rapids, when he got a job washing trucks at Hekman Business Company – which later became the popular snack brand known as Keebler.

After serving in the U.S. Army Air Corps in Japan, Post returned to Hekman and rose up in the company, according to this obituary.

According to MKD Funeral Home, Post later "welcomed some executives from Kellogg's who asked if he thought it would be possible for Keebler to create a new product they had in mind."

Following this meeting, Post was often said to have "invented" the Pop Tart, but he always spread the credit to his team.

"I assembled an amazing team that developed Kellogg's concept of a shelf-stable toaster pastry into a fine product that we could bring to market in the span of just four months," he would say.

Pop Tarts debuted on store shelves in 1964 with the four original flavors – strawberry, blueberry, brown sugar cinnamon and apple-currant.

The story behind Post's invention is being chronicled in the upcoming Netflix comedy movie Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story, starring Jerry Seinfeld. It will be released on May 3.

M. Emmet Walsh, 'Blade Runner,' 'The Jerk' Star, Dead at 88


Veteran character actor M. Emmet Walsh, star of such timeless classics like Blade Runner and The Jerk, died on Tuesday at the age of 88.

Walsh's longtime manager confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that the actor died this week from cardiac arrest in St. Albans, Vermont.

"I don't want you to see an M. Emmet Walsh. I want you to see a garbage collector or a president of Princeton or whatever. ... I do everyman. And also I play hard," Walsh once said of his work, which includes over 230 IMDB credits going all the way back to 1968.

Due to his drolly baritone voice and imposing stature, Walsh found his stride with authority figure roles that often ranged from government officials to shady bureaucrats across various genres. In the 1970s comedy classic The Jerk, he played the psychotic private eye who goes on a shooting rampage after drawing a random name from the phonebook.

Just three years later, Walsh entered into sci-fi fandom when Ridley Scott cast him in Blade Runner as Captain Bryant. "Talk about beauty and the beast: she's both," he famously uttered.

Louis Gossett Jr., 1st Black man to win supporting actor Oscar, dies at 87

Louis Gossett Jr., the first Black man to win a supporting actor Oscar and an Emmy winner for his role in the seminal TV miniseries "Roots," has died. He was 87.

Gossett's nephew told The Associated Press that the actor died Thursday night in Santa Monica, California. No cause of death was revealed.

Gossett always thought of his early career as a reverse Cinderella story, with success finding him from an early age and propelling him forward, toward his Academy Award for "An Officer and a Gentleman."

He earned his first acting credit in his Brooklyn high school's production of "You Can't Take It with You" while he was sidelined from the basketball team with an injury.

"I was hooked — and so was my audience," he wrote in his 2010 memoir "An Actor and a Gentleman."

Robert MacNeil, creator and first anchor of PBS 'NewsHour,' dies at 93

(https://i.imgur.com/T7Ro8Zsm.jpg)

Robert MacNeil, who created the even-handed, no-frills PBS newscast "The MacNeil-Lehrer NewsHour" in the 1970s and co-anchored the show with his late partner, Jim Lehrer, for two decades, died on Friday. He was 93.

MacNeil died of natural causes at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, according to his daughter, Alison MacNeil.

MacNeil first gained prominence for his coverage of the Senate Watergate hearings for the public broadcasting service and began his half-hour "Robert MacNeil Report" on PBS in 1975 with his friend Jim Lehrer as Washington correspondent.

The broadcast became the "MacNeil-Lehrer Report" and then, in 1983, was expanded to an hour and renamed the "MacNeil-Lehrer NewsHour." The nation's first one-hour evening news broadcast, and recipient of several Emmy and Peabody awards, it remains on the air today with Geoff Bennett and Amna Nawaz as anchors.

It was MacNeil's and Lehrer's disenchantment with the style and content of rival news programs on ABC, CBS and NBC that led to the program's creation.
