Some Thursday Reads

 Mike Johnson needs to be forced out of Congress.  Not just him, but Miller and Vought need to be nowhere near Washington DC or in the federal government in any capacity whatsoever.  If it were up to me, all three would be in prison.

A Few Reads for Wednesday

 Trump doesn't have any direction at all.  He is obviously not physically or mentally fit to be in the Oval Office, but that hasn't stopped idiots to support him.

Obituary:  Actress, author, and the only child of screen legend Marlene Dietrich, Maria Riva, died earlier today at the age of 100.



She wrote an outstanding book about her mother.  She had a complicated relationship with her, but she did write about how brilliant her mother was. Since Maria was no slouch in the intelligence department, I believe it.   She referred to her mother in the book as "Dietrich."  

Snip:

When she was 5, she “was imported” to Los Angeles to live with her mother, by then a huge star at Paramount Pictures.

­­Riva played Catherine the Great as a child — Dietrich portrayed the Russian monarch as an adult — in Josef von Sternberg’s The Scarlet Empress (1934), then appeared in another film starring her mom, David O. Selznick’s The Garden of Allah (1936), an early Technicolor relea

Obituary: June Lockhart

 At the ripe old age of 100, veteran actress June Lockhart passed away from natural causes.  The daughter of actors Gene and Kathleen Lockhart, June was one of the last of the stars from Hollywood's golden age.  She was actually in 1939's A Christmas Carol, which featured her parents.  I bought the DVD of this film a couple of years ago and was amazed that anybody making films in 1939 and who wasn't an infant was still alive.  She looked exactly the same as a child as she did as an older woman. 

June, though, was much better known for her television work than her film output.  She starred in the long-running television series, Lassie, through much of its run until the producers decided the male collie could carry a series all by himself to the point of having puppies, thus making veterinary history.  June played  Ruth Martin, who raised the orphan Tim, who was played by Jon Provost, the latter I met some 17 or 18 years ago at the Hot August Nights celebration in Reno.  Both Lockhart and Provost looked alike, which was funny, as Provost reminded me they didn't play related characters.  

June then went on to play the matriarch of the space television series Lost in Space, a 1960s cult television program and the show for which she is most likely remembered.

June Lockhart died on Thursday, October 23.

From the link:

The daughter of actor Gene Lockhart and actress Kathleen Lockhart, she was born in New York City in 1925. She made her feature film debut at 13 years old, starring alongside both of her parents in Edwin L. Marin’s 1939 “A Christmas Carol,” where she played Belinda Cratchit. After her breakout role, she appeared in films such as “All This, and Heaven Too,” “Meet Me in St. Louis,” “The Yearling,” and “Sergeant York.”

Some Friday Reads

 No surprise about Trump's mind turning into mush or into more mush.  It doesn't mean he will ever leave the White House before his term is up until his life is up.

Trashing the People's House

 Absolutely disgusting:




This criminal trashes the White House, the American people's house, just by his occupation, but then he compounds the outrage by having the East Wing demolished to make room for some monstrosity of a ballroom.


It is just like what happened with the Rose Garden or the Oval Office.  

Trump is a disgrace to the human race.


PBS:


The East Wing houses several offices, including those of the first lady. It was built in 1902 and and has been renovated over the years, with a second story added in 1942, according to the White House.

Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said those East Wing offices will be temporarily relocated during construction and that wing of the building will be modernized and renovated.

Idiot acts like he will never leave the White House except in a pine box.
