Actor Teri Garr passes away at 79 (video)


Teri Garr has passed away, after decades of surviving with muscular dystrophy and retiring from the Hollywood limelight. Radio host and spiritual intuitive relative Lisa Garr and family are handling it as Teri passed away in peace surrounded by family.

Young Frankenstein: Put the candle back!
(Andrea YT) Young Frankenstein is a 1974 American comedy horror film directed by Jewish genius Mel Brooks (Blazing Saddles). The screenplay was co-written by Brooks and actor Gene Wilder, who also starred in the leading role as the title character, a descendant of the infamous Dr. Victor Frankenstein (creator of Frankenstein's monster), and Peter Boyle as the monster. The story, which became a novel published in 1818, was originally composed by a very young Mary Shelly, referring to Frankels and Steins (Jews) making a lot of trouble in Europe, England in particular. She was simply engaging in a parlor game with other writers, who all went on to become famous, but she herself is now most recognized for the monster story Frankenstein and the legendary creature she created. It has haunted countless children since then right along with bloodsucker Dracula (and the female version Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, who has troubled countless young boys).

Q (Q-Anon) w/ Will Sommer, Al Franken, NPR

Terry Gross, Al Franken, Will Sommer; Pfc. Sandoval, Sheldon S. (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

(Wiki) QAnon is an American political conspiracy theory and political movement. It originated in the American far right [Republican] political sphere in 2017. QAnon centers on claims made by an anonymous individual or individuals known as "Q."

A new book explains how QAnon took hold of the GOP (Grand Old Party, aka Republicans) — and why it's not going away.
(Fresh Air) March 2, 2023. Fresh Air journalist Will Sommer went to conservative roadshows and spoke to believers and their families while investigating QAnon. His book, Trust the Plan [and Plandemic], makes the case that there are more conspiracy theories to come.

ABOUT: “FRESH AIR” from WHYY [an NPR station], the Peabody Award-winning weekday magazine of contemporary arts and issues, is one of public radio's most popular programs. Hosted by Terry Gross, the show features intimate conversations with today's biggest luminaries.

QAnon is weirder than you know!

(Al Franken) Author Will Sommer talks to podcaster Al Franken. May 27, 2023. About 15% of Americans believe this stuff, some of which while sounding outlandish for consumers of mainstream media is actually (shockingly) true. Explore the podcast's 217 episodes (The Al Franken Podcast).

Adrenochrome? Child molestation? PizzaGate? British royal reptilians? Hillary Clinton is in prison (or wearing an ankle bracelet)?

Losing Trevor: Who will host Daily Show?


Trump calls to terminate the Constitution and AI chatbot goes viral

Trevor Noah replacement sparks Daily Show hysteria
(The Damage Report) Dec. 11, 2022. As Trevor Noah [now fired] hosts his final episode of The Daily Show, many fans are left with big fears over who will finally be his replacement. John Iadarola and comedian Francesca Fiorentini break it down on The Damage Report.
"When Trevor Noah -- then relatively unknown in the US -- was named anchor of The Daily Show in 2015, the announcement was met with some confusion. Trevor who? Now, after a successful seven-year run, the South African comedian is stepping away [or was fired] from the show that made him a household name, and speculation has begun over who will be next up as anchor.

After Noah says goodbye on Thursday, The Daily Show will first try out a rotating roster of high-profile guest hosts before settling on a permanent replacement, the network said this week. Here's a look at some of those stars, one of whom may soon be the face of the satirical news show -- now a late-night institution."

Al Franken steals the show (video)

When he started speaking, every face and camera-lens in the room turned toward new Democratic Senator Al Franken of Minnesota. There were grins all around the Judiciary Committee dais. That's a lot of interest for a senator only five days into office. But this was Franken making a first impression on the most visible stage in Washington. He packed his statement with populism and substance, noting that he's not a lawyer but neither are most Americans. "I'm just going to start listening," he said. Source
