The dames on The View make '12 angry men' look happy by comparison.,..

Co-hosts on the worst show on television -  “The View” - grilled Joy Behar on Friday about being a courteous host to Vice President JD Vance when he appeared on the liberal daytime talk show on Tuesday, and she argued she was simply following the example of the late Barbara Walters.

“It’s like with JD. He was here the other day,” Behar said as the panel looked back on the interview with Vance. “I respect the office. I believe in reaching across the aisle. I do.” Moments later, co-host Sunny Hostin asked, “But I want to know, why were you so in love with JD Vance?”

“I wasn’t in love. I’m not in love with him, and I’m not in love with this administration,” Behar replied. A clip of from Vance's press conference afterwards was played on “The View” on Friday, getting laughter from the audience and co-hosts alike, as co-host Sunny Hostin asked, “What!? We were more difficult to deal with than the Iranian government?” 

 

“He’s being funny, I think,” Behar replied, as co-host Ana Navarro replied and wished that Behar could be the one negotiating with the Iranian government. “He came in strategically prepared to disarm us with niceness. He came in being affable and laughing easily and being very nice,” Navarro said in reference to Vance. “It worked on you. Didn’t work on me,” she then said to Behar. “It didn’t work on me either,” Hostin added.

 

It's a pre-Prime Days sale. Jump on it...

This seems to be happening more and more often lately. So, how was the ride, kids?

A popular ride at Long Island’s Adventureland malfunctioned on Friday night, leaving more than a dozen young thrill-seekers dangling in mid-air for hours. The panic began around 7:30 p.m. when the amusement park’s “Wave Twister” attraction ground to a sudden halt, trapping the riders a dizzying 75 feet above the ground. The East Farmingdale Fire Department and a mutual aid company rushed to the scene and are currently working a rescue operation to bring the stranded parkgoers safely back down.

 

Emergency crews from the West Babylon, East Farmingdale, and Amityville Fire Departments, along with Suffolk County Police, have evacuated the park. As of late Friday evening, all 16 riders - ranging in age from 5 to 40 - had been rescued, and now they have one helluva story to tell their friends. 

I wonder what the 40-year-old was doing there...

This is arguably one of the most beautiful women to ever work in Hollywood, regardless of the era.  That's my opinion - but you'll probably agree. Gene Tierney was born into a very wealthy family in Brooklyn, NY in 1920. Noticed by a director at Warner Bros, at 17 she began to pursue a career in acting. 

Howard Hughes tried unsuccessfully to hook up with her, but she was unimpressed with Hughes’s wealth. Due to mental illness - a reported 'nervous breakdown', she left Hollywood after turning down movie roles that eventually went to Elizabeth Taylor and Grace Kelly and made both of them stars in their own rights. 

She was later discovered to have been working as a sales girl in Gimbel's in Manahattan's Times Square.

If I had to make a list of the top five most beautiful women in the world (that I know of), it would almost be impossible to limit it to only five. Certainly Nicci Pisarri in her prime would be near the top of that list.

It's not often that I agree with any position Drew Sheneman takes from his loonie-leftie perspective, but I gotta hand it to hm on this one - that is a subtle stab at the bill of goods they've been forcing us on this soccer bullshit.

Former President Barack Obama is widely regarded as the most admired American president. A major nationwide survey revealed that 30% of Americans name Obama as the U.S. president they admire most, significantly outpacing Donald Trump at 19%. He also holds a strong 57% overall favorability rating among the public

Does this grainy photo remind you of anything? You probably haven't even seen it before, but it's  the aftermath of the Tiananmen Square protests and massacre in Beijing, China, which occurred on June 3-4, 1989.The Chinese government used military force, including tanks and troops from the People's Liberation Army, to forcibly clear the square of pro-democracy demonstrators.Death toll estimates vary significantly, ranging from official government figures of over 200 dead to international estimates of thousands killed.The event remains heavily censored in mainland China, with discussions and images suppressed by authorities.

This is a high school auto shop class, likely from the 1950s or early 1960s. The classroom setting was typically all-male, focusing on vocational skills rather than academic studies. Students commonly brought in their own cars or worked on "jalopies" provided by the school to learn engine theory and repair. These programs aimed to teach students how to work with tools, improvise solutions, and solve mechanical problems. Teaching the trades - like auto mechanics - is a thing of the past. Nowadays teachers use AI to teach kids how to use AI...

Yesterday, Trump showed off the new Air Force One and thanked Qatar for handing over what he called ‘the world’s most luxurious plane’.

The largest Air Force One jet that has carried US presidents for more than three decades was put out to pasture Thursday - fueling speculation that President Trump could soon begin flying aboard the controversial Boeing 747 gifted by Qatar. I can't help but think of Trojan Horses somehow when it comes to this 'gift'. Juss' sayin'...

Sometimes ya almost don't have to go past the headline to get the gist of the story. In this case, this Florida Woman wannabee from Missouri was accused of shipping a young girl in her care to Texas in exchange for a friend’s monkey in a jaw-dropping deal. Alarm bells rang when school resource officers at the girl’s Winfield school noticed a string of unexplained absences in 2025 and began digging into the mystery.

Disturbing rumours soon surfaced that the child had been swapped for an exotic animal in Texas, according to court documents. An officer contacted Texas police and tracked down the person the girl was staying with.

This is a vintage Sears, Roebuck and Co. advertisement for a "Modern Home No. 167" kit house, which were popular from 1908 to 1940.The ad lists a price of $753.00 for all necessary building materials, including lumber, millwork, and hardware.

Modern construction costs for a 2,000 square foot home typically range from $323,026 for construction only to over $665,000 for the total project including land.

Sometimes, relaxing is hard work...

If you feel like that, you're not alone. Psychologists even have a name for it: relaxation-induced anxiety. When your brain is used to running at full speed, slowing down can trick it into thinking something is wrong.

The expectation to simply "unplug" can ironically create a whole new to-do list in your head. Recognizing that you actually need to practice the skill of relaxing can shift the pressure. Several small-scale, actionable practices can make unwinding less of a chore. 

Instead of trying to "force" your mind to be quiet, try the physical reset method: simply tense and release different muscles in your body to actively dump pent-up tension. Start Small - according to experts, you shouldn't jump straight into a multi-day vacation if relaxing feels overwhelming. Test the waters with low-stress, familiar comfort tasks. Remove Decision-Making - let others dictate a low-stakes activity, or revisit a nostalgic hobby from childhood (like baking, building, or drawing) to allow your mind to naturally focus without pressure.

I guess he's trying to 'cop a feel' or vice-versa...

Proof positive that the people running ABC are completely friggin' crazy...

 Rosie O'Donnell - that unfunny pig-faced fuckwad who moved to Ireland because she 'couldn't live in a country where Donald Trump was President' - but has subsequently snuck back in, will join a roster of guest host jerkoffs set to replace Jimmy Kimmel for the summer, the late night host has revealed. Kimmel segued to the 'special treat for our commander in chief' with a nod to his September suspension during his Thursday monologue.

'I will be taking the next two months off, this time voluntarily,' Kimmel said, before showing off 'a potent group of' guests, including so many you've never heard of, including 'Tiffany Haddish, Colman Domingo, Ike Barinholtz, Anthony Anderson, and I asked one of Donald Trump's all-time favorites - Rosie O’Donnell - to be here to keep the hits coming.' The revelation drew uproarious applause from his drug-adled audience.

His absence from the show alone should be enough for it to get a boost in ratings and a wider audience that the few hundred people who do admit to watching it now...

Proof positive that some people just are not savvy - or even smart and considerate...

In a now-viral TikTok video posted earlier this week, Tyler Brodsky is seen helping his young daughters wash their hands in a women’s bathroom during a pit stop on a long drive from Florida back home to Oklahoma when things suddenly escalated.

“There is a man with his two little girls using the bathroom,” a man who appears in the background of the video by the entrance to the public restroom is heard saying over the phone to cops. “He is washing his hands with his daughters right now.”

One of Brodsky’s young daughters is then seen crying and clinging to her father as the confrontation continues. “It’s alright, baby,” he tells her, trying to calm her down as the man keeps objecting - saying his wife was trying to use the restroom with her ill mother when she spotted the father in there.

Brodsky defended himself in the caption of the viral clip: “The women’s restroom was empty, so I took them in. I’d rather do that than bring two little girls into a men’s bathroom full of grown men and dirty stalls.”

“This guy comes barging in yelling, scares my daughters, and somehow thinks THEY should’ve been in the men’s room instead,” he continued. “Am I wrong here?”

The internet didn’t hesitate to respond  and the loudest voice came from one corner in particular: moms, especially moms of young girls, who flooded the comments defending Brodsky and saying he did exactly what any parent would do in a no-win situation.

Cops ultimately told him he did nothing wrong and even comforted his daughters after the incident - however, they did eventually order the loudmouth jerkoff who bitched to leave the store.

 

The grumpy fuck seen confronting Brodsky - the jerkoff in the right side of the picture above - was later fired from his job at a Mississippi real estate firm after the viral video spread online.

What the hell is Juneteenth, anyway, and why is it a national holiday?

There are times, like today, where you really can't find a good answer beyond the normal clap-trap bullshit the MSM spews, so I asked Google's AI machine the exact question I posed above. They came back with this, in which I may have added a blipdot or two:
Juneteenth (a blend of "June" and "nineteenth" - isn't that so friggin' original?) marks the day in 1865 when enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally received word of their emancipation. This occurred more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation and effectively signaled the end of slavery in the United States.

 Even though President Lincoln (you remember - the Republican President who was murdered for freeing the slaves) issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, the decree was largely unenforceable in Confederate states until Union troops took control. Texas, isolated and far removed from much of the fighting, remained a safe haven for 'enslavers' fleeing Union occupation elsewhere.

 On June 19, 1865, Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston and read General Order No. 3, which stated that all enslaved people were free.The Celebration: The formerly enslaved people in Texas immediately started celebrating with jubilation. For over a century, it was primarily celebrated at the grassroots and regional levels before becoming recognized nationwide.

 

Now for the good stuff - Why is it a National Holiday? It was officially signed into law as a federal holiday by President Joe Biden - like his predessors - a Democrat (who were in favor of slavery) in June 2021.

 It serves as the country’s only day to commemorate the abolition of slavery. Historically, rare celebrations included community gatherings, educational events, and parades. Today, it is hardly celebrated at all, except in select neighborhoods adjoining MLK Blvd's. across the nation.

I guess everyone had the day off...

Mere minutes after the Knicks took the fifth game of the NBA championship and officially claimed the Larry O’Brien Trophy, Mayor Zohran Mamdani sent out two messages on X. The first read, “HISTORY.” a response to the New York basketball team’s winning of the first title since 1973. The second was “Parade. Thursday. Manhattan” - an announcement thousands of fans were waiting for. In New York, mayors alone have the ability to call a ticker-tape parade.

 

They've held these parades for everything from celebrating the arrival of the Statue of Liberty (granted the buildings weren't all that tall) to honoring the Apollo 11 Astronauts and one for Nelson Mandella  - when he got out of prison. We of course had one for the end of both world wars, but these days our sports stars loom larger than our historical greats and monumental events and victories. 

I find that kinda sad, but who am I to say anything? Juss' sayin'...
