Trump Posts Picture of White House With Trash Bags Outside Marked CNN, MS Now Politico After Locking Out Reporters, Our Version Is Here

This is what a fascist government looks like.

It starts with the banning of media a leader doesn’t like.

In Trump’s dim and illegal mind, that means CNN, MS Now, and Politico.

He’s posted an AI photo of the White House with trash bags outside bearing those media outlets’ names.

Yesterday he locked out reporters from all three companies because they ask critical questions of him.

Tomorrow the courts will be humming to get this edict overturned.

I do think about formerly reasonable people who still back this disgrace. Is what they wanted? Armed military bunkers next to the White House and in an arch down the street? Press banned from the White House? It’s inconceivable, yet here we are.

Our version is above. Trump’s is below.

Box Office: Horror Film “Resident Evil” Makes More in First Weekend than “Practical Magic 2” and “Coyote Vs. Acme” Each So Far

Showbiz is a funny world.

Over the weekend, horror film “Resident Evil” swooped in and did what other recent films could not achieve.

The new release raked in $60 million from Thursday previews through today.

That’s considerably more than both “Practical Magic 2” and “Coyote vs. Acme” have made in their total release time.

If only those two had been more frightening!

Still, “Coyote” has done very well considering it almost never came out. At $54 million, you can’t complain.

On the nostalgia front, the 40th anniversary of the cinematic classic, “Transformers,” brought in $3.1 million. That’s $4.1 million since it was re-rel4eased. The crackling dialogue and cinematography are well chronicled in movie history.

At the lower end of things, “The Dog Stars” made $20,000 in 1,030 theaters. Even actual dogs avoided it,

For Real! Trump Says Planned Giant DC Arch “To house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers”

Hey, game over, kids.

Trump announced this morning that his planned giant arch in Washington will be a military installation.

Really, not making this up!

“At the strong request of the United States Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage. There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World. Out of the 59 top cities and Capitals, Washington, D.C., IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD THAT DOES NOT HAVE A TRIUMPHAL ARCH, but it will now and, by far, the greatest of them all! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

We have an absolute freaking lunatic on our hands. Think this is funny somehow?

Is anyone in Congress or in government going to stop him? He plans for us to live in a military state, with him and his cronies at the controls! Republicans are ok with this? Have you lost your minds?

Ed Sheeran Addresses October 7th, Gaza War at Sold Out Philly Stadium Show Introduced New Band Despite Rumors, Full Speech, HERE

Ed Sheeran Addresses October 7th, Gaza War at Sold Out Philly Stadium Show Introduced New Band Despite Rumors, Full Speech, HERE

Ed Sheeran had a sold out show tonight in Philadelphia.

Twitter was literally overflowing with posts about the show being empty, returned tickets, protests hampering the evening, and so on.

None of it was true.

Lincoln Financial Field was full — at least 60,000 people. So all of the shouting and rhetoric came to nothing. Sheeran will be fine on the rest of his dates.

He spoke to the crowd about the whole Macklemore-Gaza situation, addressing both October 7th and the ongoing war in Gaza. That’s all he’s responsible for. Macklemore made the mistake of dragging politics into shows where it was unexpected.

The singer also debuted a new band of heroic musicians who wouldn’t be stood down.

Sheeran’s speech is below. He played 21 songs and ended with his Marvin Gaye soundalike “Thinking Out Loud.”

All in all, Sheeran handled this debacle very well. The online rhetoric is out of control, full of fiction, no facts, and vitriol. Don’t believe a word of it. And PS the media outlets who leave out Sheeran’s remarks about October 7th. Shameful.

He began is remarks by saying:

“This is not usually how I would open the show, but before I play some songs tonight, I hope it’s okay if I say a few words about this last week. I’m used to my music being criticized, and I’m always happy to take that because I’m lucky. A lot of you like my stuff, and to be honest, I’m surprised. But this week, the criticism was about something much more important, and I’ve had to take and make difficult decisions, and I am making mistakes, and I’m so, so sorry.”

He added: “What happened in Israel and at the Supernova Music Festival on October 7 was horrific and compounded centuries of Jewish pain. What is happening in Gaza is catastrophic, unjustifiable, and disproportionate. My heart has been broken by the scale of devastation and loss of civilians’ lives, of children’s lives. The systemic injustice we’re seeing unfold in the West Bank cannot be overlooked. I am already speaking to people across the spectrum to work out how to make a contribution that helps victims of these terrible times, and listening and learning because I do not know enough.”

Ed Sheeran Playing to Audience 3 Times the Size of Madison Square Garden in Philly Tonight Despite Scraggly Groups of Protesters, Ticket Refunds

Ed Sheeran Playing to Audience 3 Times the Size of Madison Square Garden in Philly Tonight Despite Scraggly Groups of Protesters, Ticket Refunds

Ed Sheeran?

He’s going on at 8pm tonight in Philly, the normal time for headliners.

The opening acts — for whom no one bought a ticket — were filler that started at 5:30pm. Most fans don’t arrive at rock shows until a half hour before the main act comes on. I’m sure the Finneas and Aaron Rowe fans will survive their absence

Lincoln Financial Field will welcome around 60,000 people. There are around 7,000 unsold seats. So Ed Sheeran will play to an audience three times the size of Madison Square Garden. The concession and merch areas will be jammed. The fans will sing along to their favorite songs.

Protest is a way of American life. There are videos of scragglers outside Lincoln Field with signs. They will shout. That’s okay. I’ve seen worse going into awards shows in Hollywood, where vocal supporters of various fringe activities make themselves known. It’s all part of life’s pageant.

Below, the Stub Hub seat map. Looks pretty good. Can’t wait to hear reports on the show, and the set list.

Pat Boone is the 92 year old legendary pop singer.

He’s also a famous conservative, who back Nixon and Reagan. He was very good friends with the latter.

Now Pat, whose hits included Little Richard’s “Tutti Frutti,” has advice for Donald Trump: Shut up. For Boone to say this, it’s huge. He represents the Trump base: white, Christian, and loyal to the core. He would never had said these words to Nixon or Reagan.

Good for Pat Boone!

Boone posted this startling message:

“I’ve known and supported President Trump for many years, and I offer these thoughts in the spirit of friendship and concern.

“Sometimes the strongest thing a leader can do is say less, listen more, and let his actions speak for themselves. I’m praying for our President, as I hope all Americans will, and I’m asking him to remember the example of Ronald Reagan: humor, courtesy, respect, and a presidential manner even in difficult times.

“Mr. President, I say this as a friend. For just a little while, try being quiet. You may be surprised how loudly that silence speaks.

We already knew a new album was being worked on. U2 has already issued a couple of EPs and single in the last year. The album was inevitable. A new single, “Silencio,” is coming next Friday.

Trump Says He’s Banning CNN, MS NOW, Politico from White House, Even Though it’s Unconstitutional and Will Be Overturned

Donald Trump says he’s banning CNN, Politico, and MS Now from the White House.

So far, he hasn’t done anything actually, and is just threatening or talking through his ass, as usual.

He can’t really ban any press organization. In the past he tried this with the Associated Press, and also with CNN’s Jim Acosta. The courts overturned those declarations right away.

What a tool this guy is. It’s just another distraction from Iran, Epstein, and inflation.

Pop Fizz: Jhené Aiko Leads One of the Lowest Weekly Charts with Just 73K Copies Sold of New Album, Stray Kids Take Physical Sales, New Miley Hits

Pop Fizz: Jhené Aiko Leads One of the Lowest Weekly Charts with Just 73K Copies Sold of New Album, Stray Kids Take Physical Sales, New Miley Hits

The record business is not a happy place this week.

The number 1 album, “Westside Whimsy,” by Jhené Aiko sold just 73,400 copies. Most of that was from streaming.

It was one of the lowest selling weeks in chart history.

The most CDs and downloads sold were from KPop group Stray Kids, with 22,000.

The number 50 album was a re-entry of Harry Styles’ latest album with with 15,500 copies — almost all from streaming, too.

With all the talk about rapper Macklemore, he didn’t sell enough of anything to make the top 50.

How are record companies paying salaries, and so on? Beats me. It’s a serious situation.

Everyone is counting on Miley Cyrus’s excellent new “Bass Persuades” album to kickstart sales. Right now, the album is taking up slots 2 and 3 on iTunes. There are 10 songs on the album, and at least two of them are gems that should be heard on the radio right now — “Let’s Get Married” and “REDLIGHTS.” Miley is inconsistent in her releases, but this one is a winner.
