Omen? Trump Media Stock Price Suddenly Nosedives 12% After Two Week Run Up

0

On Tuesday, two days ago, the price of Trump Media rose to $53.88.

Today, it closed at $35.34. It’s down 12% for the day.

Trump Media’s stock price fell suddenly at 10am, maybe when his investors realized that the Puerto Rico scandal — a comedian calling the US territory a “floating island of garbage” at his hate filled rally on Sunday — did him in.

Trump’s recent comments last night about women’s rights also contributed to the fall. Plus, today he lied about his wanting to shut down Obamacare.

The lies and hate are catching up, Fast.

The Weeknd, Fresh off “Idol” TV Disaster, Releases Nightmare Video for Non Song “Sao Paolo”

0

The Weeknd doesn’t appear in his new video called “Sao Paolo.” Singer Anitta does, however, with a grotesque pregnant belly that has moving lips in place of a belly button.

“Sao Paolo” isn’t much of a song. I don’t know what it is. But after the “The Idol” HBO debacle, I thought Abel Tesfaye would get back to real business. This is the Idol’s new clothes. Maybe it’s good for dance clubs. But not for enjoyment of any other kind!

“Squid Game” Fans: Here’s the Teaser Trailer for Season 2, Which Raises the Stakes in Competition

0

“Squid Games” is back on Netflix soon. It’s a Boxing Day present — coming December 26th.

The teaser trailer was just unveiled in Europe at Lucca, Italy Comic Con. (Lucca is one of the most beautiful places in world. I can’t imagine a bunch of fanboys and girls roaming around it in cosplay. It breaks my heart.)

The press release says:

“Season 2 raises the stakes, with Lee Jung-jae reprising his role as Seong Gi-hun, also known as Player 456. With a hardened demeanor and the scars of past games, Gi-hun is on a desperate mission to expose the deadly truth of the competition. Yet, his warnings go unheeded, and tensions rise as fellow players question his intentions. The teaser also shows the return of Lee Byung-hun as the mysterious Front Man, whose true motivations remain cloaked in secrecy, while Wi Ha-jun’s Hwang Jun-ho is back, driving the narrative forward as the relentless detective on a mission of his own.”

Trump Lies, Claims Never Wanted to End Obamacare, Even His Pollster Points Out Not True — Scares Followers

0

You do remember that Donald Trump campaigned on ending Obamacare? This was the foundation of his campaigns. John McCain thwarted him, famously, in his last act in Congress.

And yet now Trump says on Truth Social:
“Lyin’ Kamala is giving a News Conference now, saying that I want to end the Affordable Care Act. I never mentioned doing that, never even thought about such a thing.”

Even Trump’s right leaning pollster, Frank Luntz, is pointing out the LIE on Twitter X.

Every single MAGA voter knows that Trump’s plan is to end Obamacare even thought he only has a concept of a plan even after 8 years.

The MAGAs who follow Luntz are freaking out, by the way. They can’t handle the truth.

Luntz’s post is below, as well as Trump’s. Trump also said it’s a lie he will end Medicare. But Project 2025, his own platform, signals deep cuts in Medicare that would destroy most people in MAGA who could never afford any healthcare without it.

Happy 99th Birthday to Oscar Winner and Hollywood Survivor Lee Grant: She’ll Be On TCM Tomorrow Night, Of Course

0

Lee Grant is 99 today! Happy Birthday to the ultimate Hollywood survivor!

Tomorrow night, after midnight, Lee will be interviewed by Ben Mankiewicz on TCM about Barbara Kopple’s award winning documentary, “Harlan County USA.” Look at her in that picture. It’s like she stopped aging about 20 years ago. Remarkable.

Four years ago I saluted Lee on her 95th birthday. She’s a role model for everyone. She’s been through everything and has come out on top. Long may she flourish!

CBS Loses Grammy Awards to ABC After 31 Year Run

0

This was coming for some time.

CBS has lost the Grammy Awards and all its specials to ABC after 31 years.

The 10 year deal begins in 2027.

Earlier this year CBS made a deal for the Grammys’ lesser rival, the American Music Awards. That certainly gave the Recording Academy reason to look elsewhere.

Now ABC will have the Grammys and the Oscars. It’s a smart move for the Disney owned network. It’s not so good for CBS. But no one asked us!

Trump Claims No One Leaves His Rallies Early — As Man Behind Him Leaves Early! (Video)

Meantime, the man behind him leaves early!

It’s sad, Trump says. It is sad, indeed!

Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger Endorses Kamala Harris-Tim Walz Ticket (Video)

0

Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

The “Terminator” star is a Republican, of course. He was a Reagan Republican, in fact.

He says: “President Trump…will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.”

Lady Gaga Takes Top 4 Spots on iTunes Top 100 with New Song, Bruno Mars Duet Live

0

Lady Gaga is ruling iTunes this morning.

Stefani Germanotta has the top four spots on the iTunes top 100.

That includes three versions of “Die with a Smile,” her duet with Bruno Mars. Last night she released two iterations other than the original single — an instrumental version and a live one with Mars.

She’s also got “Disease,” her new single.

All of this makes up for her “Harlequin” album not charting. “Joker Folie a Deux” did that one in. But “Harlequin” could still recover with some Grammy noms.

Lady Gaga has been killing it on the charts for 16 years! She’s a once in a lifetime talent.

RIP Beloved Actress Teri Garr, 79: An “It Girl” with Brains and Beauty and Offbeat Sense of Humor

I’m reading the obits for Teri Garr, who died today at 79. She was an “It Girl,” with brains, beauty, and an offbeat sense of humor.

Garr had such a great career before getting MS that no two write ups concentrate on the same movies. Most of them cite Mel Brooks’ “Young Frankenstein,” but the list is long. She was delightful in “Mr. Mom” with Michael Keaton. No one will forget her in “Tootsie” with Dustin Hoffman.

My favorite Garr performances? She literally steals Martin Scorsese’s under appreciated “After Hours” as Julie, the kooky girl with a beehive who loves the Monkees. She played herself in Robert Altman’s “The Player.” Francis Ford Coppola liked her so much she was in “The Conversation” and “One from the Heart.”

But a generation fell in love with Teri Garr when she was regular guest on David Letterman’s original NBC show. She was goofy, sweet, and sexy. And of course, she had a brain. Letterman was mesmerized. So were we.

If it hadn’t been for multiple sclerosis we would have seen a lot more of Teri Garr in the last 20 years. She fought MS bravely. We’ll only think of her a warrior.
