When Prince Rogers Nelson died on April 21, 2016, he left, in legal terms "no living issue." That's what they tell us, but any dynasty needs an heir. So the latest candidate is a 24 year old singer named Jordan Capriccio. From www.Prince.org: "There has been much media speculation about potential children that Prince might have fathered. Much of it centers around Capriccio Caesar, a young (23 or 24-year-old) singer who many consider Prince's spitting image. His birth name is reportedly Jordan...
An old story given new legs: New video has emerged showing Democratic Nominee Hillary Clinton suffering what looks like a stroke or epileptic seizure on camera. The video is embedded below. Is the media ignoring Clinton's glaring health issues? In the video, Mrs. Clinton reacts to a softball question from a reporter ("How do you feel about receiving President Obama's endorsement?") by bobbing her head vigorously back and forth. She then says: "You guys have got to try the cold chai. It is...

Donald Trump's boorish banter with Billy Bush (George HW Bush's Nephew) on the set of Access Hollywood when the two men were traveling to meet Actress Adriana Zucker, have been condemned roundly by everyone on Earth. From John McCain to Trump running mate Mike Pence to his wife Melania Trump, folks have rushed to distance themselves from the Republican nominee for President. Hell, even Tic Tacs condemned Trump ("Tic Tacs does not condone abuse of women"--thanks for clarifying that, guys). We're...

Jerry Brown's desk, will allow the deceased who's registration is Green Party or Democrat, to continue voting after their date of death. Brown says he will sign the legislation Friday, at a ceremony to include "zombies of all racial, ethnic and sexual identities." California is currently the most solidly "blue" state in the US. Democrats in the State legislature enjoy a super majority, allowing them to pass bills giving tran...
The New York Times reports that it has obtained a copy of Donald Trump's 1995 IRS Form 1040, which registers a loss of $916 million. Going forward 18 years, DT may never have paid taxes since. This is because he was entitled to a $50,000,000 loss each of the next 18 years. The story does leave us with an obvious question: Who gave the New York Times the Donald's tax returns? The Times says Donald's returns "were surreptitiously left in our mailbox." Sure, but by whom? The obvious culprit:...
An article in today's Washington Post website corroborates what conspiracy theorists have said since a SpaceX rocket exploded on September 1, 2016: It was deliberately sabotaged. The investigation centers on one particular competitor, United Launch Associates. ULA is a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Boeing, and there is no love lost between ULA and SpaceX. ULA occupies a building at the Kennedy Space Center launch facility in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The theory is that a rogue ULA...
The Federal Aviation Administration has announced that it is investigating the City of Santa Monica's policy intended to "starve" the airport into leaving. It has asked the City to withdraw its 30 day Notices to Vacate. The stakes here are very high. Can a city close a Municipal Airport by starving it of services? Pilots, the FAA and towns all across America are watching. "The FAA strongly recommends that the city withdraw the notices to vacate until such a time as this matter can be resolved,"...

As President, Hillary Clinton will appoint Huma Abedin as Secretary of State. This according to leaked e mails between Abedin, Mrs. Clinton, and Clinton's former chief of staff Cheryl Mills. Abedin, 40, would be the first Moslem Secretary of State, and one of the youngest ever. She would not, however, be the first foreign born Secretary of State. Henry Kissinger, 93, has that distinction, having been appointed by Richard Nixon. Huma Mahmood Abedin, 40, served as vice chairwoman of Hillary...

When Hillary Clinton collapsed on her way to her motorcade on Sunday, she touched off a Youtube video conspiracy theory bonanza. About 100 videos theorize she's not on antibiotics. She's 6 feet under. And that Hillary we saw walking around later, was either her body double, or a UFO supplied robot. You can't make up stuff like this. At least, I can't. So it must be true. WABC-TV in New York apparently accidentally announced that Hillary Clinton had died, not simply collapsed on Sunday. If you...
In a storm that threaten to take down Twitter Tim, Donald Trump Jr compared Syrian refugees to poisonous skittles. That's right, the candy. You can't make this stuff up. But wait, there's more. The meme, sent by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's son, used poorly punctuated language to say, "If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you just three would kill you. [sic] Would you take a handful? That's our Syrian refugee problem." In a related story concerning relatives of...
As any Lyft or Uber driver knows, drinking (and drugs) are pervasive among students of all ages in Santa Monica. This is from personal observation. I mean that a significant percentage of underage students at Santa Monica High School, and probably Santa Monica College, drink, get drunk, have drinking problems. It impacts them, their families and friends, and others. Something does need to be done about it. Lt. Saul Rodriquez, Public Information Officer from the Santa Monica Police Department,...

You've got to pity poor Colin Powell. A Republican moderate, he has never really been accepted by Democrats or Republicans. And now Buzzfeed has leaked his personal e mails, the veracity of which the professional soldier, neither admits nor denies. Trump has always portrayed himself as an outsider. The newest leaks show that even moderate Republicans like Colin Powell and Condi Rice, suspect and dislike him. In trouble over a private email server she wasn't supposed to have set up, former Secret...
He lives in exile in an embassy in London and considers himself a journalist, while the Obama administration and many Americans consider him to be a traitor. Appearing on Megyn Kelly's Fox News program, WikiLeaks founder and editor-in-chief Julian Assange said on Wednesday that he planned to release "significant" information linked to the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Asked if the data could be a game-changer in the election, he said "I think it's significant. You...

The Donald Trump for President 2016 campaign will pull out of the scheduled September 26th debate between Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Trump, unless third-party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein are also allowed to participate. This is a tactical move believed by most analysts to help Trump, because the third-party candidates seem to drain more support from Clinton then they do from Trump. The Commission on Presidential Debates announced its 15 perc...

Does it prove the Power of Love, or the Love of Power? Maybe just the stickiest, strangest, least probable people-who-know-people story of the year. Turns out the Clintons, the Trumps, and the Putins are all related to each other and to Fox News Chairman Rupert Murdoch, by love, marriage and children. You may recall that Rupert Murdoch left his wife for Wendi Deng, 40 years his junior. "Deng married Murdoch in 1999 prior to a significant rise to socialite status." Indeed, Wikipedia. Wendi Deng...
During an interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe, the Libertarian Party presidential nominee on Thursday flubbed a question on the Syrian civil war, asking, "What is Aleppo?" Johnson would later say he mentally "blanked." He. needs to average 15% from voters in the polls leading up to the September 26th debate. He is currently averaging around 9%, in the five polls that matter, with a couple weeks to close the gap. If he doesn't only Democratic Candidate Hillary Clinton and Republican Nominee Donald...
Well it looks like Hillary finally had her Mitt Romney 47% moment. Mitt Romney famously said that a quarter of all Americans don't really matter (see below). Tonight, Hillary Clinton said that half of Trump supporters are Xenophobes, racists, misogynists, sexists and other "deplorable basket" types. Hillary may be concerned because she appears to be losing momentum and national polls. She came out of the conventions of full 12 points ahead of Republican challenger Donald Trump. But now, the...
If you are as much of a geek as I am, chances are you already know that today is the 50th anniversary of the date Star Trek burst onto the small screen. People had just started getting color TV's, and suddenly there was this amazing green alien who seemed a lot like the rabbi at my schul. Well, as NBC says, the series lived long and prospered, even featuring TV's first interracial kiss. The show, which followed the exploits of a 23rd century crew of interstellar explorers (working for the...
