The Problem with JeggingsPosted by CollegeHumor on Monday, February 22, 2016
Jimmy Kimmel pokes fun at Donald Trump celebrating his Nevada win with the support of “poorly educated” voters.
JoeMyGod points up this video of Donald Trump’s victory speech after the South Carolina primary.
Without changing any words, the voiceover has been changed to a stereotypical “gay” voice.
Does this constitute mocking Trump by “making him gay?” Or is it funny?
You’ll recall the 2015 documentary “Do I Sound Gay?” which addressed the idea of this dynamic.
International superstar and multiple Grammy Award-winner Olivia Newton-John, Grammy nominee Beth Nielsen Chapman and SOCAN Award-winner Amy Sky are lending their vocal and songwriting talents to create “LIV ON,” a collaborative, newly recorded eleven-song collection intended for those who wish to transcend loss while walking a journey toward new-found meaning and hope.
This inspiring new project grew out of the three artists’ personal experiences with loss and illness, which they all survived to “LIV ON” and celebrate each day with a depth of gratitude. This labor of love stemmed from the trio sharing their stories together and expressing their deepest feelings from the most difficult to the most celebratory. It’s the hope that this music can uplift hearts burdened by grief while at the same time bring comfort to the listener.
“As a group, it’s our intention with this album to create songs with a message of compassion and hope,” said Newton-John. “They are for anyone facing a time of challenge in their life, whether it is grieving a loss – or on the journey to health and recovery.”
“LIV ON” – means “to thrive, to have hope and to remember.” The message is clear in the lyrics of the album’s title song:
Live on, Live on
Brighter skies will come again
Cry the tears you cry
And then live on, live on
Love is all we leave when we are gone…Live on
The Daily Show‘s Jessica Williams sat down with virulently homophobic pastor James David Manning of Atlah Worldwide Church, and yes, kids, he’s still crazy as ever.
Additionally, Williams chats with Ali Forney Center handsome Executive Director Carl Siciliano, who’s currently raising funds to buy the property, which is up for auction due to around $1 million in debt.
Check out this impressive tribute to Lady Gaga by the current UK cast of The Sound of Music.
Looks like the talented cast adapted their staging to accommodate the Gaga songs. Well done!
Here’s the clip description:
At the 2015 Oscars, Lady Gaga performed a medley of songs from The Sound of Music to mark the 50th Anniversary of the classic movie. In return, the cast of The Sound of Music pay their thanks to the ‘Mother Monster’ by performing their take on some of Lady Gaga’s hits.
And Lady Gaga approves:
I mean this is just so amazing, the instrumentation and the performers! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! https://t.co/bj2eCO9N1N— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) February 24, 2016
Republican Gov. @BrianSandoval is reportedly being vetted as a possible #SCOTUS nominee https://t.co/9JjpXdHWO6 https://t.co/LRfG4a60KC— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) February 24, 2016
Wow. This would make for a very interesting choice.
Living in Nevada myself, I’ve found Gov. Brian Sandoval to be very moderate and fair. Or, said another way: if you’re going to have a Republican governor, he’s a good one.
I’ve heard for years Sandoval would love to be a Supreme Court justice. And it would tough for the Senate Republicans to deny Sandoval a hearing.
Nevada Sen. Harry Reid announced today that he is endorsing Hillary Clinton for president.
The Nevada Democrat issued a plea for his party to consolidate behind Clinton, who has struggled to fend off an insurgent campaign from Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont.
“I think the middle class would be better served by Hillary,” Reid said.
“I think that my work with her over the years has been something that I have looked upon with awe. She was the first lady. She started the trend toward looking to do something about health care. She understood the issue well, she was the front on the health care during that administration,” he said.
Reid added, “I also think she’s the woman to be the first president of the United states that’s a female.”
Many see this as a sign that Democratic leaders are eager to put the party’s contentious primary fight behind them.
As the Senate Minority Leader, Reid is the highest ranking Democrat in the U.S. Senate.
Speaking to his supporters after winning the Nevada Caucus, Donald Trump says he loves “the poorly educated.”
And the crowd roars!
By the way, Trump also crows about winning 44% of Nevada’s Latino vote. Not quite right.
Trump won 44% of Latino Republicans. In a recent poll, only 16% of Latino Nevadans identified as Republican. That means he was supported by about 7% of Latinos in Nevada (44% of 16 = 7.04).
Put another way: 93% of Latinos in Nevada did not vote for Trump.
