(The following story is obviously satire/science fiction/fantasy. If you needed this warning because you thought it was a serious theory, please leave this site at once. You know just enough to be dangerous. Thank you -- S.G.) A secret buried under the Greenland ice sheet could satisfy man's eternal quest for immortality. Like so many of science's great discovery (photography, alcohol, electricity, viagra), the discovery came about completely by accident. During the Cold War,...
Singer George Michael was undeniably enormously talented, and by all accounts, kind-hearted. He also engaged in anonymous sex in places like public bathrooms, and had not one, but two lovers who died from HIV/AIDS. The singer has long been rumored to have HIV/AIDS, and to have died on Christmas 2016 from its complications. On March 7, 2017, the Coroner said that George Michael died "of a heart condition." Darren Salter, the senior coroner for Oxfordshire County, said Mr....
A beautiful blonde model faces 15 years in State Prison, and 3 young football players face a lifetime of being slapped on their hands by other football players. A California woman has been indicted for statutory rape, after allegedly having sex with three underage football players. Mary Fletcher has also been charged with attempting to keep a witness from co-operating with police. Fletcher, 42, is alleged to have engaged in sexual intercourse with the three boys, all football...
For the fifth time in 3 months, a Russian diplomat has died under suspicious circumstances. Vitaly Churkin death at Russia's consulate in New York City has been explained as a mere "heart attack." But his death involved a mysterious femme fatale, sources say. Russia's UN Ambassador reportedly shared the intimate company of a much younger woman before he showed up dead at the Russian Consulate in New York City on Monday morning. The official line was that he suffered a heart at...
She'll be 73 in 2020; a year younger than Bernie Sanders is today. She has millions of diehard fanatical fans who love her. The former First Lady has never deviated from a messianic conviction, that she is destined to be the first female United States President. And she is doing everything one in her position would need to do in order to set up another run for the presidency, says Politico analyst and former GW Bush speechwriter Matt Latimer. Mrs. Clinton's 2020 run is...
An Unidentified Flying Object was seen to hover over the Santa Monica pier early Sunday afternoon. It was reported by hundreds of onlookers and photographed by many. Witnesses said the UFO moved up and down, and left and right at a rapid speed, more rapid than conventional human aircraft are capable of flying. After appearing for half an hour, the craft seemed to disappear into the cliffs. Alien spacecraft transport themselves not just across space but also through time, so...
UFO's have followed Falcon 9 rockets from Florida to California, and so the company plans to launch it's next rocket from an unmanned barge in the Pacific Ocean. A SpaceX rocket exploded on a Florida launch pad on September 1, 2016. Moving the launch to California did not help, since the same mysterious drone reappeared, and was recorded again by launch pad security cameras. The company has delayed the launch until January 14th, to investigate the latest UFO intervention....
Dan Kay, a former contestant on Survivor: Gabon, died unexpectedly on Dec. 31. He was 40. Kay resided in New Hampshire, said his obituary. His funeral will be held there, in Hillsborough County. Naturally, Survivor fans are trying to figure out how a visibly healthy 40 year old man died "suddenly and unexpectedly." The County Coroner has confirmed that Kay's death is not being investigated for foul play. Surely he would not have been accepted as a survivor contestant, if he...
As American's awoke to the 2017 Rose Parade in Pasadena and the "HOLLYWEED" sign decorating the Hollywood Hills, it was apparent to all that 2017 is the year Marijuana will be legalized. The President Elect, a self proclaimed bringer of change, has pretty much said so. Here's a list of ten reasons Donald Trump will legalize marijuana: 1. It's what he said he would do. "President-elect Donald Trump has publicly supported medicinal legalization of cannabis products and...
Fake news (some prefer fictional news and information), was much discussed in 2016. Teenagers in towns across Macedonia competed for hits with each other and with mainstream US Media, posting fake story after fake story. Seriously, fake news became a cottage industry in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. That's the country's official name. No, really. Some feel fake news propelled the election of Donald Trump. Personally I think the Dems did themselves in, but I...
Carrie Fisher, who had been hospitalized since a plane flight last Friday after paramedics responded to her at Los Angeles International Airport, had long been open about her struggles with drug addiction. Like others, she attempted to self medicate her bipolar disorder. Unlike others, she documented her struggles with drugs in films and autobiographical novels. She acknowledged taking drugs like cocaine and Percodan throughout the 1970s and '80s and stated that she was using...
In a rather amazing editorial, an opinion piece in the New York Times has called on the Democratic party to not cooperate in the appointment of Donald Trump as President. "Where is the Democratic party?" ask writers Dahlia Lithwick and David S. Cohen, as Trump appoints Cabinet members who want to dismantle the departments they will head. Why aren't Democratic leaders making more of Trump's refusal to attend daily Intelligence briefings, of Russian interference in the...
If you're going to harass Ivanka Trump, her husband and children to the point where you get kicked off the flight, it's probably best not to brag about it on Twitter. Because when you do, everyone knows who you are. "Your father is ruining the country. They ruin the country now they ruin our flight!" said Dan Goldstein to Ivanka, on a Jet Blue flight. Both the gay couple and the Kushner-Trumps had their children with them. Lasner also suggested Ivanka and her family should be...
Kanye West and Donald Trump discussed more than just "life" Tuesday morning. After their meeting at Trump Tower in New York City, Donald Trump nominated Rapper Kanye West to be the nation's 23rd Under-Secretary of the Interior. No one we spoke to is entirely sure what Secretary of the Interior actually does. So the fact that West is a musician who dropped out of Chicago State University to pursue music, is no barrier. "West knows many of the players in Hollywood, where he...
The outgoing president will sign an executive order reversing President Richard Nixon's 1970 order, listing Marijuana as a Schedule One Drug, forbidden at all times. This is said to have been a jab at 1960's "Hippy Culture." President Barack Obama, who wrote of experimenting with marijuana as a young man, will legalize marijuana on his way out of office. He will make pot a Class II drug, legal under Federal law with a doctors prescription. States will be able to continue to...
California has the toughest building and safety codes in the world. Why didn't authorities enforce them against the Ghost Ship's operators? This is the obvious question from the Oakland fire which has killed at least 36 people. The Washington Post has finally explained why: They didn't want to be seen as politically incorrect, forcing their way into an LGBTQ "safe space." The deaths struck at the heart of a flourishing community of artists united by the Bay Area's underground...
Jill Stein received just under 1% of the national vote, and demanded recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio. Hillary Clinton's Presidential Campaign filed joinders to Stein's effort, and by some accounts, directed donations to her political action committee. But why? Recounts historically have never changed the outcome of a State's presidential election outcome. They are costly and tedious, as they must be observed by campaign representatives. One theory is that Stein is...
Engel & Volkers rents a storefront office on Montana Avenue (as if you might drop in and buy a $4 million house in 90402, then proceed a few doors down to Starbucks). I guess it paid off for them. They just announced the highest sale of the year, and the third highest residential sale in Santa Monica history. "We respect our clients confidentiality, but I can say that the buyer is an avid golfer, loved the architecture, view and of course La Mesa is an iconic street," said...
The left has been railing against the election of Donald Trump for two weeks now. They have called for passive resistance and not so passive resistance. But seriously, you can't make this stuff up. The man who is famous for being married to Kim Kardashian, the woman who is famous for being famous; Kanye West was under observation at a Los Angeles area hospital late Monday after the remaining dates of his national tour were abruptly canceled, multiple authorities familiar with...
Michigan computer scientists believe they have found a way to reverse the US Presidential Election results, and elect Hillary Clinton after all. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign will participate in and join the recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, says a lawyer for the Clinton campaign, the Washington Post reported Saturday. "Because we had not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology, we had not...
The Washington Post was singularly anti Trump throughout the campaign. Examining the factors behind Trump's victory has lead them to the conclusion that the Russians were to blame. There is no little irony in this conclusion, since Reagan's Republican party thrived on confrontation with the old Soviet Union. Some on the right view Trump has the successor to Reagan, an outsider who wants to tackle old problems with new solutions. In fairness, the Russians did hack the DNC and s...
On October 31, 2016 Hillary Clinton's campaign requested permission to shoot off two minutes of fireworks. But at 3 pm the day before Election day, Monday November 7, 2016, the Clinton Campaign abruptly cancelled a planned Election Night "victory" fireworks display, The New York Post reports. It's clear that she knew she would lose that afternoon. Otherwise, why would she cancel a paid for and already approved fireworks display? The Clinton campaign had contacted the Coast...
Professor Noam Chomsky has been blamed more than any other single person, for the wave of political correctness that has swallowed academia. Now, in an interview with Truthout.org, Chomsky fought back against the man elected by Americans as the antidote to his philosophy. http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/38360-trump-in-the-white-house-an-interview-with-noam-chomsky "On November 8, the most powerful country in world history, which will set its stamp on what comes next,...
"The worst-case scenario of a Trump presidency: Women lose their reproductive freedom. There are mass deportations. There is a religious test for entry into America. Denying climate change becomes official policy and we exit our agreements. Our international alliances are effectively terminated. The orientation of economic policy-making is rooted in yesterday's industries and does not account for the rise of robotics and intelligence. Trump governs as an autocratic strongman...
Several colleges try to comfort students upset by Donald Trump's victory. In some colleges, exams have been cancelled or postponed, while at Cornell, students held a cry in on the quad. At Berkeley, the administration let upset students march on campus, or play with Playdoh or crayons. I'm not making this up. Colleges have become the least liberal places in the world when it comes to free speech. Seriously, you can speak your mind more easily at a North Korean Communist Party...
