Hillary’s EmailGate Goes Nuclear | | Observer

John Schindler writes this in the Observer tonight:

“ Back in October I told you that Hillary Clinton’s email troubles were anything but over, and that the scandal over her misuse of communications while she was Secretary of State was sure to get worse. Sure enough, EmailGate continues to be a thorn in the side of Hillary’s presidential campaign and may have just entered a new, potentially explosive phase with grave ramifications, both political and legal.”

I don’t think 2016 will be a good year for horror movies

SLATE has a review of the new January horror movie THE FOREST. I didn’t get the warm and fuzzies from the David Ehrlich piece, he really hated the movie. I am not going to see it most likely, but I bet people will. 

There is something always successful when you consider January horror. It’s the come off of Christmas feeling people get. I noticed that a long, long time ago now (too long and too quick) with a quick January PG-13 hit called DARKNESS FALLS. 

The one interesting thing about this movie this year, THE FOREST, is that it is loosely based off of real events.. The forest in Japan where people go to commit suicide is all too real and very unexplained..

Speaking of horror, there are lots of lists being compiled on the movies in 2016 you should see.. ’31’ is included with this IGN list of 12 movies. In my opinion, that makes it 11 movies you should see. I just cannot and will not get into this 31 film, regardless of anything.. And quite frankly, all of the rest of the movies look like awful.

THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR WANTS YOUR SOUL. For $800 mil, it could get it

Tonight, the POWEBALL is powerful.. set over $800 mil (if no one wins this could get to a billion) .. I am going to buy my ticket and I suspect you will buy yours. This could be a blowout for the victor.. 

Or a curse. 

There are always dreams of the but jackpot.. the fantasy of the fancy cars and fine wine that come along with any victory in the lottery game. 

But there are equally concerns. I think we all have seen those specials on TV  or the concerning documentary about people who won the lottery, people like you and me who were normal (we are, right). 

People who just tried making it in life and suddenly had millions in cold hard cash leaped on their heads. 

They fell apart… did they live some luxury lives? Some. For a while. And then their families and friendships dissolved.. Often suicide and murder took place.. The money was a hoax of happiness, a curse and blemish on their once normal lives. But normal lives have struggles. 

Bills are due and often they bite, coming out of no where when you least expect them. Yes. Dreams of the lottery are amazing.. dreams.. The odds tonight are that 1 in 292 million people will win the big record $800 million Powerball. 

The rest of us will still be dreaming. Maybe it’s safer to dream than scurry away from the blinding lights of pop culture and media attention.

The new mayor of Philly already making headlines

Yesterday we all were told a cop was shot in Philly by a man proclaiming allegiance to ISIS.. 

Now the new Mayor of the city, Jim  Kenney, said ISIS had nothing to do with the shooting. Anger ensues among some about that.. The police officer is alive, incidentally..

But you know the worst part? Life goes by so fast I forgot Nutter was out and there was even a new mayor of Philly.. and I live 90 miles north. That is a failure on my part. I hope it will not happen again.

Mid Winter storms.. bizarre mid-winter storms

This is mid winter (or it is supposed to be), but climate did not get the memo. The NWS is watching not 1 but 2 lows that have hurricane force winds in the NORTH ATLANTIC.. 

And a storm developing off the British Isles..  

How many freak storms will we get until we realize something is ‘up’ .. ? 

But remember. Earth changes are NOT happening. Tell yourself that one a few times and try not to laugh.

By now you’ve seen THIS.

You may not have wanted to.. but you did.

Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney, apparently post sexual relations, on a magazine cover.

You cannot unsee..

There are lots of comparisons to LENNON AND ONO.. Sorry. This pales in comparison.. No comparison at all frankly..

Millions of Civilians to Be Sent Back to Boko Haram's Bloody Heartland

The government says it has all but defeated Boko Haram, the ISIS-allied group that was involved in the slaughter of 11,000 people last year and ranks among the world’s deadliest terror organizations.

President Muhammadu Buhari has pledged that he will “start in earnest” to return an estimated 2.2 million citizens who have been forced to flee their homes.

However, while most of the territory once held by Boko Haram has been recaptured, experts say the insurgents’ renewed guerrilla campaign is deadlier than ever.

I guess these returning innocent lives will find out soon firsthand..

'Meth Curry' and the thoughtless, casual cruelty of Internet memes

This Mashable story about a cancer survivor who turned into the butt of a joke should be required reading for every moronic jerk who has the Internet and social media to mock fellow humans with ugly memes.. The butt of this joke doesn’t do meth. Instead he’s a cancer survivor who struggled with his own appearance. And now his struggle is receiving global attention after his image ended up online and being involved with a meme joke calling him a meth addict..

'Making a Murderer' victim speaks about sending innocent man to jail

Interesting story.. And it is the one part of his whole Avery story that the documentary neglected to explore in depth..

On this note, I have just begun watching the series.. Only on episode 2, though I am very aware of then murder story and the further allegations that have taken place since the 2002 exoneration of Avery..

It’s an amazing documentary, very well produced, and obviously controversial since it’s an ongoing issue with a number of opinions on all sides of the issue.. The real story may be DNA, crime, and science..

Innocence until proven guilty.. Until DNA can immediately convict someone .. Or exonerate someone..

The entire judicial system is being turned on its head by progress and scientific discovery..

There are a lot of cultural and judicial ramifications. This documentary seems to be hitting a nerve.. A nerve at the core of how American justice is served. And so often not served.

A pair of moderate earthquakes shook northwest Oklahoma late Wednesday night, part of the latest swarm of Sooner State temblors since Wednesday morning.

The quakes struck at depths of 2.1 and 3.7 miles below the surface.

New Dietary Guidelines: Cut Sugar, Eat More Veggies

“Despite heavy lobbying by the food industry, the guidelines — which set the standard for federal food programs such as school lunches and food stamps — also recommend that most people get 2,300 mg of salt a day or less. The average American gets 3,400 mg a day, Burwell said — and that can lead to high blood pressure.”

South Korea to restart propaganda loudspeakers on North's border

The tension returns.. The war games return..

The broadcasts will restart on Friday, South Korea’s presidential office says, calling the North’s bomb test a “grave violation” of an agreement in August between the two Koreas, which had aimed to ease mutual tension. At that time, the two traded artillery fire after Pyongyang had demanded a halt to the broadcasts.

One of these is me. The other is is Doug Walker, an online movie critics with almost 700,000 followers on YouTube..
I may have found my much more popular doppelgänger.. Perhaps contact should be made? But would works collide? Would the center of gravity give out?
By the way the close up is me. The other one is the popular guy.

Rob Zombie's '31' Receives an R-Rating - Bloody Disgusting!

There were tears from the hardcore horror buffs who demand blood and gore.. This movie got an NC 17 two times.
Obviously something or somethings were cut to make it R..

No worries for those still craving the desire to see needless violence.. 31 is still going to feature, “strong bloody horror violence, pervasive language, sexual content and drug use.”
Rejoice. I suppose.
