I'm the same age and I remember seeing her on The Tonight Show, probably in the late '60s. She came across as the ditziest women you ever saw, yet a few years later I was amazed to see her in The Godfather where she played a serious role to perfection and went on to be a major star.

I guess I must have seen her in The Godfather, but don't remember her part at all. The only other thing that ever registered with me is that she seemed to run around with Woody Allen a lot, and I never thought much of Woody Allen.

It was but a chapter in her career, but count me among those who never saw any magic with the whole Woody Allen artistic scene of which she was a part. Nothing against her, though. RIP, Ms. Keaton.

I liked the movies I saw her in. She seemed like a sweet lady. Also, she had terrific sartorial style. Rest in peace, dear.

She also stared with Richard Gere in Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977). Weird how they don't mention that role in the article as I thought the movie was rather ahead of its time.

I wish this were satire, but it’s not. We’re in the middle of a government shutdown battle, and The Washington Post decided to blast this email, apparently, to every member of Congress. You’d think it would be about the shutdown, right? Something about the issue of health care subsidies expiring, or health care for illegal aliens—but, alas, no. It was about which member of Congress was vaccinated against COVID. I’m not kidding: [Tweet] Seriously, is this really what’s at the top of the story well over there? COVID is over.

President Donald J. Trump has once again received a clean bill of health following a comprehensive medical evaluation at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, according to a memorandum from White House physician Sean P. Barbabella released Friday. The visit, described as part of his “ongoing health maintenance plan,” included advanced imaging, lab testing, and preventive assessments that a team of specialists and top medical consultants conducted. The memo noted that Trump’s test results were “exceptional,” with “stable metabolic, hematologic, and cardiac parameters.” In preparation for upcoming international travel, the president also received “preventive health screenings and immunizations, including annual influenza and updated COVID-19 booster vaccinations.”

Democrats aren't even hiding it anymore. They're openly threatening to weaponize the government against Donald Trump and anyone who dares stand with him if they manage to claw their way back into power next year. This isn't speculation or paranoia. They're saying the quiet part out loud, and we'd better start taking them seriously. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just laid it all out there during an MSNBC interview while reacting to the indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James by a grand jury on mortgage fraud charges. His message: if Democrats win the midterm elections, Trump and his allies are in their crosshairs,

This is sure to make you think twice before you merge onto the interstate anytime soon. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said it has arrested in Oklahoma an illegal immigrant named Anmol Anmol, who was driving a tractor trailer with a New York State-issued commercial driver’s license (CDL). While the license appears to have an actual photo of the driver, the name section just says “Anmol No Name Given.” That’s right. To get his CDL to operate an 18-wheeler, he either couldn’t give his name due to the language barrier or he refused to give his name.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, long known for her partisan crusade against Donald Trump, has now hired one of Washington’s most notorious Democratic fixers to defend her from criminal charges of her own. James has hired Abbe Lowell — the same high-powered D.C. attorney who represented Hunter Biden — to fight off a federal indictment accusing her of mortgage fraud. According to the indictment, James falsified loan documents when she bought a home in Virginia, netting approximately $19,000 in savings. Lowell issued a brief statement Thursday, declaring that his client “flatly and forcefully denies these charges.”

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) called Secretary of War Pete Hegseth a “laughing stock.” Host Jake Tapper said, “You’re a veteran, so I would be remiss if I didn’t ask you what you thought of Secretary Hegseth and President Trump’s discussion before the generals at Quantico?” Gallego said, “I think it’s absolutely ridiculous. It was number one — it politicizes more the military, which is what you don’t want to do. As someone who has sat in briefings of that nature, it really tells you what’s happening. You know, it’s definitely clear that the Secretary of Defense is trying to compensate for something.

My Mom, a child of the Depression and a young adult during World War 2, even in the Reagan era, was not a fan of the legacy media, then, pretty much the only media. She didn't trust them too much, and she was fond of an (apocryphal) quote from WW2, from U.S. Navy Admiral William "Bull" Halsey, who, when asked by an aide what he should tell the press about an upcoming operation, replied, "Tell them nothing. When it's over, tell them who won." That's how military communications should be carried out. There's a level of security that should be taken for granted, and that means, in certain cases,

On Friday, the Senate failed to reopen the government, as neither the Democratic nor the House GOP spending votes were able to clear the procedural 60-vote threshold. Democrats are dead-set, for now, in voting against the GOP’s clean seven-week continuing resolution, which has spending levels maintained at Biden-era levels, and with no Republican initiatives. Democrats supported everything funded in this CR before, (Snip) So, with the works still gummed up, the meme game has never been more elite.

In the movie “As Good As It Gets,” Jack Nicholson was asked how he writes female characters so well. His answer, hilariously, was, “I think of man, and then I take away reason and accountability.” That is exactly what it is like to talk with a Democrat. They honestly live on a different planet, which is fine. The problem comes in when they try to force everyone else to live in that world – normal people aren’t interested in pretending there’s no difference between boys and girls, as none of us would be here without that difference, and we’re big fans of that difference –

If we want to humiliate a party stupidly expressing its disapproval of us, we can take a lesson from J.K. Rowling. The Vancouver Parks and Recreation board voted unanimously to apologize for the Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience event set to open on November 7 in Vancouver’s Stanley Park after hearing from members of Vancouver’s 2SLGBTQ+ Advisory Committee. In the X post below, Ms. Rowling advises the board how to ratchet up the pain.

The National Education Association (NEA), which represents millions of U.S. educators, sent an email to its approximately 3 million members with a map omitting Israel and labeling the territory as “Palestine.” The email was described as a resource packet for teaching about indigenous peoples, but critics argue it was promoting not recognizing Israel. The North American Values Institute (NAVI) called the inclusion of the map in the NEA email “an inexcusable lapse,” arguing the union must be held accountable for disseminating content that rationalizes anti-Israel sentiment. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) also condemned the action, saying it crosses from careless oversight

Kim said at the parade that the military “must continue to evolve into an invincible force that eliminates all threats.” The foreign dignitaries at the parade included
