Obama-Hillary Clinton CIA Probe

Obama’s False Intel

CIA Director Tulsi Gabbard has recommended for the Department of Justice to prosecute former Pres. Barack Obama for providing false information on the fake 2016 Russia-Trump stolen election collusion story.  Obama’s lawyers have denied it, yet the proof is there.  Originally, the Trump-Putin narrative was dismissed.  At Obama’s insistence he told investigators to reverse their findings.  The fictional Russia-gate investigation would last thru most of Trump’s first term.

Obama’s former Sec’t of State Hillary Clinton’s involvement cannot be overstated.  It would be Hillary’s who would first invent the Russia hoax.

The New Left

Los Angeles Illegal Alien Protest – 2025

Late 1960’s far-left protest

Pres. Nixon tries to “rap” with the far-left.

What they call the “New Left” today is a repeat of what occurred in the early 1970’s – a reaction to the Vietnam War and the election of Pres. Richard Nixon.

1960’s Flower Power Movement

The hippies are now Generation Z

Black Panthers (early 1970’s)

Black Lives Matter 

The Black Panthers are now “Black Lives Matter” or BLM.

Agitators are now resisters.

The far left never met a protest they didn’t like.

Whatever goes around, comes around.  The main difference between these reactionaries is stupidity.  The new left protests for the sake of it.  They have no sense of history.

Poster-child for the far left is Greta Thunberg who has grown up and now says, “Fuck Israel! Fuck Germany!” How’s that for logic?

They know little beyond what their leaders tell them.

Pres. Trump has replace Pres. Nixon as their version of the devil.  The wars in Ukraine and Iran have replaced Vietnam . . . except, this time, the left supports war.

The 2024 Gen. Election left Dems staggered.  They wanted to believe the fake nigger – Kamala Harris – could win.  When Trump was wounded on July 13, 2024, it insured his re-election.

2028?  Too early to tell yet, but the top contenders for President are California Governor Gavin Newsom and N.Y. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, “the Puerto Rican”.   They’ll both lose.

Gov. Newsom and Rep. Cortez

Newsom’s policies in California have failed:  homelessness, crime and illegal aliens run wild.  The fires in January nearly burned down half of Los Angeles.  It’s a state near bankruptcy.

The Puerto Rican can’t win in either.  (I’m not saying never.)

Cortez is less intelligent than Kamala H.  She may be photogenic.  That isn’t enough.  She doesn’t speak well and sounds immature like a 7th Grader.

Cortez, as most know, is a Democratic Socialist, nice words for Communist.  She’ll get votes from the usual suspects:  blacks, feminists, minorities and the LGBTQ+.  She will not connect with the backbone of America – the middle-class. The middle-class wants to keep their $.  Cortez wants to take it away for more “Green New Deals”.

I told you.

If the Puerto Rican is the nominee, she would do about the same as Kamala Harris.

As for the future, like cancer, she will return.  She might win and Republicans need to take her seriously.

1930’s Swimwear Edition

Star 80 (Dorothy Stratten)

1983 film based on the fatal relationship between Playmate of the Year Dorothy Stratten and her husband/manager Paul Snider.  The screenplay is based on the Village Voice article titled “Death of a Playmate” by Teresa Carpenter.  It is the final film directed by Bob Fosse, best known for “Cabaret”, “Lenny” and “All that Jazz”.

“Star 80” is a near miss.  At the heart of its defect is the miscasting of Mariel Hemingway.  Back in ’83, much was made about Ms. Hemingway’s breast implants that she received for the role.  These still don’t make her more like Stratten.  Stratten’s voice and manner were different.  In the film, Dorothy is portrayed as a nude model victim.  She was more than that.

Most of “Star 80’s” accolades were received by co-star Eric Roberts who was nominated for a Golden Globe (Best Actor in a Drama.)   He won the Boston Society of Film Critics award.

The story is told through interview segments (those from the “Village Voice” article) and flashbacks from Snider as he ponders his fate following the murder of his wife.  It must be said – this is a dramatization – partly truth/partly fiction of what happened.

“Star 80” barely focuses on Dorothy’s other doomed relationship with director Peter Bogdanovich.  That’s probably why the real Bogdanovich hated this movie.  His character is barely there; his name changed to “Aram Nicholas”, a weak, cerebral man who is partially responsible for the end result.

The third man is Playboy founder/editor Hugh Hefner, played by Cliff Robertson.  “Hef” is key to what make Paul Snider tick.  Snider follows the teachings of “Playboy” as if it were the Bible.  When he finally meets his idol, Hefner is turned off by Snider’s sleazy clothes and ingratiating manner.  Snider is aware of it.  He is aware the Playboy mansion celebrities can’t stand him.  It drives him to madness that the girl he discovers is instantly accepted, while his is barely tolerated.  While Dorothy’s star is on the rise, Snider is constantly pushed aside.  His attempt at making money from a male strip club revue is stolen from him and eventually turned into “Chippendale’s”.

Snider gets Dorothy cast in a Grade B  flick “Galaxina”, released the same week of her death.

Dorothy Stratten with John Ritter from “They All Laughed”

Meeting Dorothy at the mansion, “Aram” seeks to cast her in his latest film project “They All Laughed”.  It doesn’t take long for a romance to begin.

Snider suspects she is cheating on him and hires a detective who validates his suspicions.  While there are plans to win her back, things soon take a darker turn.  Snider buys a shotgun for “protection”.  He rants and raves to those who will listen to him that he discovered her and that Hefner and “Aram” have stolen his “Queen”.

The movie reaches its inevitable climax.

“Star 80” received mixed reviews and was not a box-office success earning only half its money back.

“They All Laughed” (1981) with the real Dorothy Stratten did worse.  Distributors threatened to dump it.  Bogdanovich bought it back and tried to release it himself.  Not being able to compete with other film studios, he was driven to bankruptcy.

One of Mikayla Raines cyber-bullies “Kazeo Lion”. The face speaks for itself.

Lisa Marie Presley – Family Curse

 

Lisa Marie Presley with her eldest daughter Riley and her only son Benjamin

“Ben never had a fucking chance.”  Lisa Marie Presley quote.

It would seem Benjamin Keough had it all.  The only grandson of Elvis.  Beloved by his mother Lisa Marie.  Why would he kill himself on July 12, 2020?  “From Here to the Great Unknown” is unclear as to why.  At the time, LMP had become addicted to opioids, prescribed for her after the cesarian birth of her twins.  Like daughter, like father.  According to co-author, Riley Keough, Ben was keeping his mental turmoil well hidden.

Shortly before his suicide, Lisa suffered from convulsions and withdrawal symptoms.  Ben couldn’t handle it.  As close as Elvis was to his mother, the same could be said for them.

The book doesn’t describe how Benjamin killed himself.  By other accounts, Ben locked himself in the bathroom and shot himself in the head.  His girlfriend tried to stop him, but he was out of control.

Lisa never got over it.  Family thought she would die.  For the first six months, Lisa thought she would die.  Time doesn’t heal all wounds.  What kept her going were the twins and a plan to speak out publicly on how to prevent suicide.

2022 was an eventful year.  The movie “Elvis” was a big hit receiving eight Oscar nominations.  LMP began to come out of hibernation.

On January 8, 2023, Lisa Marie appeared at Graceland on Elvis’s birthday, greeting and speaking with fans.

January 10, 2023, the Golden Globes.  At Lisa’s final appearance, she appeared frail and gaunt as she balanced herself on Jerry Schilling’s arm.  The highlight of the evening was when Austin Butler won Best Actor for a Musical or Comedy for “Elvis”.   Lisa and her mother beamed with pride.  After all the years, Elvis was finally getting critical recognition.

Last Day.  Lisa Marie texted her ex-husband Danny Keough complaining of stomach pains; asking if he could bring her Tums.  Her housekeeper found her collapsed on the bedroom floor.  Her ex called 9-1-1.   It was a heart attack – the result of bariatric surgery, a drastic method of keeping her weight down.  Lisa was tired of being referred to as “fat” by the press.

She remained in a coma…until another heart attack.  It was all over.

Lisa Marie, Ben and Elvis and his parents are all buried in the Meditation Garden in Graceland.
