The former child actress who played Joanie Cunningham on the hit ABC comedy Happy Days, passed away in Indiana. The only actress on the show to hit rock bottom literally.
Erin Moran lived in a trailer park and sometimes a motel in rural Indiana. She married a man who took her money and left her holding responsibility of a dying mother-in-law and his constant cheating.
Moran once had looks of an angel. All of that went down hill when she lit up a cigarette. She lit up a flank with those rocks. She guzzled a hard liquor and 12 pack daily. It may have caught up with her.
Moran got her break into stardom at age 14. She would appear in commercials before her big break. She played the lovable character on the sitcom.
Moran looked like a prostitute when she came up to the person filming her.
She would get a spin-off with Republican whacko-doodle Scott Baio. Joanie Loves Chachi only lasted two seasons with 17 episodes. It was a flop.
When she reached the bottom, she couldn't get a gig. She appeared on Celebrity Fit Club and did promos for MeTV. It was the last thing I could remember her in.
Mind you that she did have minor roles in television.
TMZ said that she was found unresponsive in Corydon, Indiana.
She had sued CBS Television Group for the royalties she was promised. She said that syndication and merchandise with her likeness didn't give a part of the cut.
By the time she got it, she blew it on stupid shit.
I hate to say this, but the tragedy of being a star has its downside.
I hope she finds peace but her life was a disaster and it was a matter of time before we would hear the news.
Geeked up. Protesters are demanding Trump ans Congress do something about climate change.
Today is Earth Day.
The planet's temperature is rising and its bringing great concern among the world leaders. All in exception is the inept Donald J. Trump, a climate change denier.
Today, there were protests across the country demanding Congress and Trump get on the ball and deal with climate change. The protesters are demanding that the inept lawmakers spare the science research. The cuts are coming to institutions that deal with climate change and the president is all in on it.
On Fox News, a Nebraska farmer was on for an interview with the conservative network. He was upset about Trump's executive order to green light the Keystone XL pipeline. The pipeline would carry dirty tar oil sands from Alberta, Canada to the state of Texas. The pipeline was delay and indefinitely shut down by then president Barack Obama. The people living near the pipeline and border wall might sue the Departments of State, Homeland Security and Agriculture.
These things are going to be built on private property.
Obama cited environmental concerns, the potential for short term jobs and foreign investment involved in the construction of the pipeline.
Trump dismissed the concerns and is willing to take private land from Americans who voted for him to have this stupid pipeline built. The border wall, the Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipeline will disrupt properties and pose potential for hazardous material to leak into the groundwater.
Mind you a border wall and fence can be dug underneath and illegal crossings are down since Obama got into office.
And Mexico isn't paying for the wall. Canada will pay a third of the pipelines. China will invested in a majority of it.
Congress will return on Monday. They will have a few days to pass a bill to fund the government. If they refuse to do so, the government could shut down. The public is getting fed up with lawmakers taking too many vacations and not doing much work. MIND YOU THAT A REPUBLICAN-CONTROLLED CONGRESS IS STILL SLOW AT PASSING MEANINGFUL LEGISLATION.
Congress will also get the ball rolling on trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act. The law which has been active for more than eight years was a rally cry for Republicans. They were grandstanding this notion that repealing the law would benefit the working class. They still can't agree on which parts of the law they want repealed. The do-nothing Freedom Caucus signals a full repeal and they will not get on board with rank-and-file Republicans to save any part of the ACA.
The last time they tried to repeal the law, it was quickly pulled because they didn't have enough Republicans on board. Democrats will not support anything Trump pushes.
Trump gives a Purple Heart to an injured soldier.
Trump was in Washington this Saturday. He visited the Walter Reed Medical Center. He and first bimbo Melania Trump were there to give thanks to the injured troops serving in the endless Afghanistan war. The leader gave an injured soldier a Purple Heart.
Trump had did the White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday. He was nudged by Melania to place his hand over his heart. He also signed a boy's cap and then threw it into the crowd. The Easter Egg Roll was smaller compared then president Barack and first lady Michelle Obama.
The New England Patriots came to the White House to get praise from their biggest fan. Trump had a handful of staff, players, organizers Bill Belichick, and Robert Kraft there to celebrate their surprise victory over the Atlanta Falcons. The previous time the Patriots came to the White House most of the players, staff and organizers were there. Some of the players including Tom Brady took a knee and didn't visit the White House.
Gisele Bundchen went to social media to blast Trump before the Patriots were to show up. Aaron Hernandez, a former player hung himself in the iron college. His brain was donated to science.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and DNC chief Tom Perez did a unity tour. They could not agree on which candidate has the potential to beat Republicans. Sanders is pushing for the party to move to the left on many issues. Perez is cautious about losing the Democrats who still have tendencies to support Trump.
Next Saturday, it will be 100 days for Trump. He will skip the White House Correspondents Association Dinner. He will hold a rally in Pennsylvania.
This is the first time a sitting skipped an annual event that hosts the media and comedian.
One year ago, Prince the transitioner of rock, pop, R&B, groove and jazz passed away in his home.
Me and S.B talked about the tragic death of the iconic singer. The junk food media released the autopsy. He had died of opioid addiction. We are not sure if it was heroin but it did describe his personal assistants getting pain medication for him.
He had a medical emergency while on flight in February. After a few days he was treated and released. It was around April when the world found out that Prince had passed away.
This also makes it interesting. Charlie Murphy who had once had good company with Prince was laid to rest this week. Fellow comedians from all parts came to pay their respects.
Dave Chappelle, DL Hughley, George Lopez, Cedric The Entertainer, Chris Rock and I am guessing his brother Eddie Murphy were there for the burial.
Nonetheless, we lost two legends in the music and entertainment industry within April.
A tired and depressed Bill O'Reilly is spotted in New York buying orthopaedic shoes.
CAUTION: YOU ARE ABOUT TO ENTER THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE!
Well maybe not. Bill O'Reilly can retire comfortably with the $25 million dollar payout he got from 21st Century Fox. He was unceremoniously fired out the cannon at Fox News. For over 20 years, the controversial conservative agitator was calling himself the "culture warrior" against the "secular PC" culture that ruins "traditional values."
He still might face lawsuits from the women, the family of George Tiller and of course the ridicule from all the people O'Reilly targeted throughout his 20 plus years on Fox News.
He picked fights with liberals, cable news competitors, rappers, entertainers, abortion doctors, and politicians.
The final nail in O'Reilly's coffin. They stripped his namesake from the title card.
In a statement to his supporters, the now fired Bill O'Reilly expresses gratitude to the fans and the folks at Fox News. He releases a public statement on his official website.
"Over the past 20 years at Fox News, I have been extremely proud to launch and lead one of the most successful news programs in history, which has consistently informed and entertained millions of Americans and significantly contributed to building Fox into the dominant news network in television. It is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims. But that is the unfortunate reality many of us in the public eye must live with today. I will always look back on my time at Fox with great pride in the unprecedented success we achieved and with my deepest gratitude to all my dedicated viewers. I wish only the best for Fox News Channel."
Well here's a man who continues to blame the victim and believes that "the left" was responsible for his downfall. He and his former boss Roger Ailes flatly deny the accusations.
The New York Daily News got a picture of the old fart. He was spotted in his Long Island neighborhood shopping for some orthopedic shoes. That vacation in Italy was cut short when he got the call from the Murdochs telling him that his job is gone.
The woman who O'Reilly called "hot chocolate" speaks to The View.
O'Reilly became a focus of an investigation of sexual harassment. His company paid out $13 million to women who accused him of this. Sleeping Giants, The Color Of Change, National Organization of Women and Media Matters for America pushed an advertising boycott on the program.
By the time O'Reilly was going on "vacation" after he had lost over 80 sponsors to the program.
Also the woman who he called "Hot Chocolate" came forth to explain why she is relieved that O'Reilly is fired out the cannon.
Perquita Burgess and Lisa Bloom appear on The View to speak out on the firing.
By the way, there's no love lost over at Fox News. Besides the name being dropped to The Factor, Dana Perino and Greg Gutfeld conclude O'Reilly's program. Fox News didn't even allow O'Reilly to do a formal goodbye. Sean "Softball" Hannity who had a feud with O'Reilly said on radio, "he never met the guy" and never care much for his way of programming.
Tucker Carlson, the founder of The Daily Caller is now going to occupy the spot. He is notorious for saying sexist, racist, and ignorant things on television. He was fired out the cannon at CNN and MSNBC.
Carlson was promoted to replace Greta Van Susteren when she was fired out the cannon. He would replace Megyn Kelly when she decided to usurp Tamron Hall and Al Roker from their Today spot.
Carlson will have to prove to angered O'Reilly viewers that he can fill the void.
Many of O'Reilly's fans already blame the liberal media, Obama, and these "lying ass bitches" for getting him fired out the cannon. Mind you I've read some of this shit on Reddit.
So the primetime lineup will now be as followed.
5PM Eric Bolling
6PM Special Report with Bret Baier
7PM The First 100 Days with Martha MacCallum
8PM Tucker Carlson Tonight
9PM The Five (includes former O'Reilly producer Jesse Watters)
10PM Hannity
The former lead singer of the soul group The Main Ingredient passed away. Cuba Gooding, Sr. was found dead in his car. He was 72 years old, a few weeks shy of his birthday.
The LAPD found his body slumped over in the Woodland Hills area.
Gooding was best known for his group's single, "Everybody Plays the Fool."
He is the father of Academy Award winning actor Cuba Gooding, Jr.
The coroner is investigatimg the death. They found alcohol and drug paraphernalia in his vehicle.
Gooding, Jr. was in Toronto when he got the news of his father's passing.
The elder Gooding was born in New York City in 1944. He had a career as a singer, actor and vocal coach. He leaves behind his wife Shirley Sullivan, his four children. Cuba, Jr. and his younger brother Omar are actors.
Omar Gooding is an actor who had roles in Nickelodeon's Wild and Crazy Kids, Hanging with Mr. Cooper, Smart Guy, Cousin Skeeter and Bounce TV's Family Time.
Unfortunately the Secret Service makes it nearly impossible for people to enter the White House becuase of stringent security measures. The Secret Service has formally closed the sidewalks surrounding the South Lawn.
The agency is being stretched by Donald J. Trump's constant travels. The agency is protecting Trump, Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, Kellyanne Conway, Melania, Ivanka, Donald, Jr. and Eric Trump.
Remember the constant hand ringing, bitching and bemoaning from conservatives when then President Barack Obama invited Jay-Z, Beyonce, Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, Common and numbers of entertainers to the White House.
Now progressives are slammingTrump for inviting his brand of entertainment to the White House.
Trump invites reality television and washed up rockers to the White House.
Mind you, Trump is a product of reality television, Hollywood and music.
Shout out to Jon Ossoff, the Democratic nominee running in the congessional special election in Georgia.
Ted Nugent, Sarah Palin, and Kid Rock got a chance to meet Trump.
The three mocking Hillary Clinton.
Nugent is the rocker who crapped in his pants to dodge the draft.
Nugent would post offensive images of people of color on social media. He would say racially offensive things about Black people and Obama.
He sits as a lifetime member of the NRA. He probably encouraged Trump to speak on behalf of the gun lobby.
Palin is the former governor of Alaska and 2008 vice presidential nominee. She was the darling of the Tea Party movement. She was rumored to run for president in 2012 and 2016. Unfortunately her novelty cost John McCain the election.
Palin was groomed by Roger Ailes to run. She got a position with Fox News for a few years. Palin, like other women was probably sexually harassed by Ailes had put up with it. She was soon fired from the network and became a fixture of reality television.
Kid Rock is a washed up rocker. He grew up in Detroit and tried to be a rapper. He was a part of Too $hort's crew before he left the group to strike it out on his own. He claims he is the "self-proclaimed" bad ass who isn't afraid to fly the stars and bars.
Kid Rock has numberous collaborations with rappers, pop stars, and country music stars.
Palin, Nugent and Kid Rock are openly Republican and have supported John McCain, Mitt Romney and Trump. They have openly attacked Obama, Jay-Z and Beyonce.
These assclowns were standing near a picture of Hillary Clinton to mock her loss to Trump.
Elizabeth Thomas and Tad Cummins were caught by the feds.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the FBI and the California State Highway Patrol can pat themselves on the back this afternoon. The feds nabbed the armed former Middle Tenn. teacher Tad Cummins. The suspect abducted Elizabeth Thomas over a month ago and the two were on the run for nearly that amount of time.
They were nabbed in Yreka, a quiet little town about 40 miles from the state line.
Siskiyou County boys spotted the pair near a national forest.
The end of one of the most talked about kidnappings in the junk food media.
It gave me reason to believe that the junk food media was rehashing Missing White Women Syndrome. It also made me think about how these teacher-student love affairs are $$$$$$$$$ and ratings for the junk food media.
The two deliberately ran off. Cummins took out loans and a few supplies, picked up Thomas and they took off. The last known spotting was in Oklahoma City where the two were in a Walmart shopping for things to deter police.
The girl was a troubled youth that Cummins groomed into a romantic affair.
No telling if the girl was knocked up by Cummins. I say it's likely so.
The two will eventually head to Tennessee to face a courtroom. Cummins may face federal charges for the kidnapping as well as state charges. When the prosecutors determined that Thomas was impregnated, Cummins will face state charges for having unlawful sex with a minor. Those charges could have him in the iron college for 25 to LIFE plus an enrollment into Offender U Tier 3.
Thomas may face delinquency and willingly eluding an arresting officer charges.
They are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Who the fuck helped these two get away for this long?
They have to eat, use the restroom, shower and sleep. They had someone help them flee and its likely his wife and their family members.
Cummins' wife filed for divorce a few weeks ago. She cites his abuse and controlling behavior. Of course, the cheating on her with a teenage girl is a strong reason for the divorce.
It still bothers me about Thomas. The teen was helping her brother stitch up a Confederate flag. It makes me believe that the Thomas family does harbor racial angst against people of color.
Why did it take so freaking long to find them when the feds told Canada and Mexico to BOLO?
All of this is speculation and I want to give the victim the benefit of the doubt.
Given the two are die hard Donald J. Trump supporters, maybe some of what I am saying could be true.
