I’m old enough to remember when the NFL had marching bands during Super Bowl halftimes. There were no pop stars with extravagant productions. Times have certainly changed, and not for the better.
Jeffrey Epstein was convicted for sex crimes in Florida in 2008. He pleaded guilty to charges of procuring a child for prostitution and was given an extremely lenient plea deal. Afterward, he was visited by powerful people and celebrities. The Epstein file release revealed one of those people was Steve Bannon. The power of Epstein’s money corrupted many.
President Trump has sent 12 warships, including the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, to the Persian Gulf region, forcing Iran to the negotiating table. Trump wants to persuade the Iranian mullah leadership to stop killing their protesting citizens. It has been estimated that as many as 40,000 protestors were killed throughout Iran. The militant theocratic leaders are determined to hold onto power. Meanwhile, the stock market as been flying up and down under the threat of war and the thwarting of war.
California’s Pacific Palisades suffered devastating wildfires just over one year ago, and one would think they’d be well into the rebuilding stage. Instead, there has been no or slow progress due to insurance, financing, and red tape. Long-awaited reconstruction has been delayed, causing frustration amongst residents. Despite good weather, the landscape remains burned and the property owners are burnt out.

For many months the Clintons have not complied with subpoenas from House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer. The Clintons have refused to testify on matters involving Jeffrey Epstein, claiming the subpoenas was invalid.
Well, it’s Groundhog Day. Again! And that means it’s time for another Groundhog Day cartoon. Tina Tuesday has been changed to Tina Monday for this occasion.
The Super Bowl is coming soon and we are reminded what Mike Macdonald, the victorious Seattle Seahawks coach, had to say when he was asked if he was worried about San Francisco and Los Angeles in the playoff games. The coach said, “We did not care! It’s always been about us and what we do.”
Many of us suspect the protests in Minnesota are by no means grass-root. The protestors are well-organized, carry slickly-printed signs, and uniformly shout the same messages. They used a cell phone message program called ‘Signal’ to implement their movements around town to counter ICE agents. They are getting paid by billionaire agitators such as George Soros and his son.
Monday on MS NOW’s “On the Line,” former CIA Director John Brennan said one day there will be “law courses that are going to be looking at the corruption” of President Donald Trump and Attorney General Todd Blanche.
Brennan said, “You know, the legal profession has to take a look at itself. I’m sure that in years, in the future, there’s going to be law courses that are going to be looking at the corruption under, you know, Trump and Blanche years. It’s one thing for lawyers, criminal lawyers, to be able to defend unsavory characters and do everything possible because they’re owed that by our system of governance and system of justice. But when lawyers come into the government, they have a higher obligation.”
He added, “And I really do think law schools, and law practices, as well as bar associations really need to emphasize the distinction. When you’re in government, you don’t play by the same rules as you do outside. You really need to uphold the obligations and responsibilities that you have as a result of the oath of office that you took. Todd Blanche refuses to do that. I think he’s still acting very

The fraud operation ran from April 2020 through September 2021, with scammers posing online as friends, business associates, or romantic partners to gain their victims' trust, prosecutors said.
"Adesayo was a key member of a complex, transnational network that preyed upon elderly victims and siphoned their retirement savings overseas, mainly to China, Hong Kong, and Nigeria, to make recovery impossible," said U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg.
An application by Australia's largest mosque to publicly broadcast the Islamic call to prayer via four outdoor loudspeakers was turned down Monday by a local authority.
Canterbury-Bankstown Council, in inner western Sydney, rejected the proposal over concerns it would be intrusive and create too much noise in the neighbourhood, the Daily Mailreports.
Lakemba Mosque had requested permission for the broadcast to take place once a week on Fridays for 15 minutes using new giant outdoor, public-facing loudspeakers atop a towering minaret, as has been the case in other global cities.

The local Lebanese Muslim Association (LMA) triggered a heated community backlash when it first submitted the application, attracting more than 1,600 submissions in opposition, the Mail report notes.
That sparked a fiery debate two weeks ago in the chambers of the local council.
Thousands reportedly signed an LMA petition supporting the proposal, with the petition declaring, 'This is not about noise.
A staggering 191 percent surge in illegal migrant arrivals at Ceuta preceded the massive late July invasion of the exclave, Spanish government authorities documented Monday.
Europapress, citing statistical data from the latest illegal migration report published by the Spanish Interior Ministry, reports that 5,013 illegal migrants entered into Ceuta by land between January 1 and August 15 of this year — 191 percent more than the 3,291 documented entries during that same time period in 2025.
The already staggering statistical data and documented surge does not take into consideration the between 72,000 to 80,000 migrants that invaded the Spanish exclave in late July. Per Europapress, the Spanish Interior Ministry stated that it requires a “specific analysis” for the Ceuta invasion separate from its regular illegal migration statistical reports.
The Spanish Interior Ministry reportedly affirmed that, by August 15, 19,972 illegal migrants entered Spain’s territory either by sea or by land, a 9.4 percent drop than in 2025. Mainland arrivals by sea, however, have reportedly surged by 31.1 percent despite
