This So Needed To Be Said . . .

An Important Statement From President Trump


A long time ago, Oprah Winfrey asked me to do her last Network Television Show. The final week of her show was a big deal, and it was my honor, with my family, to do it. When I watched her interview yesterday with a woman who is destroying, through her complete and total incompetence, America, I couldn’t help but think this isn’t the real Oprah, this isn’t a person that wants millions of people, from prisons and mental institutions, and terrorists, drug dealers, and human traffickers, from all over the World, pouring into our Country. Kamala looked really foolish, couldn’t answer the simplest of questions on Inflation, the Cost of Goods, or our very porous and dangerous Border - No leader there, and Oprah just wanted to crawl under a table! Comrade Kamala Harris is mentally unfit to be President. She knows it, and so does everyone else! Donald Trump Truth Social 11:09 PM EST 09/21/24

The Hundred Foot Journey: Longer Than You Thought



The Hundred Foot Journey (the new Helen Mirren vehicle) is all about a culture clash - a culture class that revolves around food amidst the stunning surroundings of the French countryside.
In this tale, Hassan Kadam is a culinary newcomer with the gastronomic equivalent of pure perfection. When Hassan and his family, led by Papa, move to a quaint village in the South of France they are fleeing a calamitous past in India and searching for a new life.
Their grand plan involves opening an Indian restaurant in the picturesque countryside.
Sounds quite ridiculous, yes? And Indian restaurant in such a location?
Well, since this is really only a movie, they soldier on nonetheless. And they are undeterred by the fact that only 100 feet opposite stands a Michelin starred classical French eatery owned by an icy proprietress, Madame Mallory (Mirren).
The Kadam family comes to see that they may have bitten off more than they can chew because Madame Mallory seems determined to have their business shut down. As the two eateries and their owners  clash across one hundred feet and food flies, things start to get ugly (oven with a cross-culture romance between Hassan and one of Madame's chefs).
But then, something happens. Hassan's passion and talent for French cuisine begin to intrigue Madame Mallory.
Can the hundred foot barrier be broken? Where will Hassan's talents take him? Can Madame help along the way? And what of Hassan's budding romance with that lovely French mademoiselle?
These are the great issues that percolate like a hot French roast or a strong Indian assam.
This movie is absolutely beautiful to watch. It's dazzling in so many ways. And the young lovers (Manish Dayal and Charlotte Le Bon) are wonderfully easy on the eyes -- so much so that you can't help cheering them on.
And the film has Big Money behind it: Spielberg and Winfrey.
But this is basically a delightful small film hiding inside a big Hollywood production.
And it's hopelessly sentimental.
And it's too long.
And at times it seems obviously contrived.
But Mirren is utterly grand as Madame and Om Puri is her match as Papa.
And there are the vivid colors or India, all that glorious food, the lush French countryside, dashes of Paris and the blissful joy of young love -- not to mention a bit of amour at the other end of the age spectrum.
As a late summer treat, it proves hard to resist even with its flaws.

When Have You 'Made Enough Money'?



President Obama says "I do think at some point you've made enough money."
So, when is that point?
When do you say to a person: "You've made enough money. You can't make any more. That's it."
Does Bill Gates have enough money? Should we stop him from making any more? And what will that mean for Microsoft? For the economy? For America?
Does Donald Trump have enough money? Should we force him out of business?
What about Oprah? She's got a lot of money. Is it enough?
How about Alex Rodriguez? Doesn't he make enough money for playing baseball?
Then there's Bruce Springsteen. No matter how much you like his music, hasn't he made enough money?
Katie Couric. She makes zillions for what she does. Why should she be allowed to earn even one more cent? Isn't it time to cancel her contract?
And how about Obama himself. He made something like four million bucks last year alone. Does he really need all that money? Hasn't he made enough?
Well, when is enough, enough?
And who decides when it's enough?
These are the kinds of questions you can ask and this is what happens when you start to play Obama-style, Democrat class warfare.
If this is the kind of 2010 campaign the President and the Democrats care to conduct, I say: "Bring it on!"
And we'll soon learn when the American people have had enough.

Elizabeth Edwards On Oprah

From Yahoo News:
Elizabeth Edwards tells talk show host Oprah Winfrey that it's a "complicated question" if she still is in love with her husband, former presidential candidate and U.S. Sen John Edwards, after his admitted affair. In an episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" to air Thursday, Winfrey asks Edwards, "Are you still in love with him?" Edwards responds, "You know, that's a complicated question," in an excerpt provided in advance to The Associated Press by Harpo Productions. Winfrey also asks Edwards, "Is it a day by day thing?"
And Edwards says, "Neither one of us is out the door so I guess it's day by day, but maybe it's month by month."
The talk-show host visited the Edwards family at the Chapel Hill, N.C., home where the couple live with their children, Cate, Jack and Emma Claire.
Winfrey interviewed Elizabeth Edwards about her relationship with her husband, his affair and her battle with terminal cancer. The interview will appear on Winfrey's television show and there will be a companion piece in the June issue of "O" magazine.

Elizabeth Edwards' memoir
"Resilience" is to be published this month. A Harpo spokeswoman said the only caveat to the interview was that Winfrey could not mention John Edwards' mistress, videographer Rielle Hunter, by name. Winfrey also spoke with John Edwards, however excerpts of his interview were not provided.
John Edwards went public with the affair in August after the
National Enquirer reported he was the father of Hunter's daughter. He has denied paternity. Elizabeth Edwards addressed that speculation with Winfrey.
"That's what I understand," Edwards said. "I've seen a picture of the baby. I have no idea. It doesn't look like my children but I don't have any idea."

She also describes Hunter as being different from both her and her husband.
"We're basically old-fashioned people," Edwards said in "O" magazine.
"So, this was a pretty big leap for him. Maybe it's being so different is what was attractive."
Edwards was laying the groundwork for a presidential campaign when he hired Hunter to shoot videos of him. He said the affair with Hunter began and ended that year, although Hunter was seen on the campaign trail until the final days of 2006.
Edwards wrote in her new book that news of her husband's affair made her cry, scream and throw up in a bathroom.
She told Winfrey she had asked her husband for one gift when they were married 31 years ago.

"I wanted him to be faithful to me," Edwards said. "It was enormously important to me."

OH!bama Exclusive

So there I am in the checkout line at my local supermarket and I see that Us Weekly is featuring an exclusive interview with Barack OH!bama. And there's OH!bama right up at the top right on the cover. He's right up there with the latest on Jennifer Aniston and all the hot fashions from the Oscars. And Us declares: "Barack Obama - He's just like us!"
Why is this happening? Why is OH!bama giving exclusive interviews to the likes of Us Weekly while pretty much ignoring the national news media? Surely, you've figured this out by now.
We're witnessing the Oprahfication of national politics. When it comes to rock stars like OH!bama we don't want to know about things like homeland security, the environment, the economy or health care. We want to know whether he wears briefs or boxers. Well, actually Barack won't answer that question but he does say: "I look great in whatever I wear."
Now, that's what we want from a Real Star: funny, human and modest, too!
