@AnnetteF24 Wow! I thought France was so civilized, especially the culinary industry.

Meeting the extraordinarily brave Laetitia Visse, a French chef who has spoken out against toxic work practices in her industry. This is our last show before taking a break over the European summer. We will be back with a fresh new series at the end of August.

@VivekGRamaswamy I have researched fraud in government for 30+ years. It's truly staggering how much money is wasted, funneled to friendly contractors, and thrown away on unnecessary consultant studies.

I wanted to read the full 1,500+ page bill & speak with key leaders before forming an opinion. Having done that, here's my view: it's full of excessive spending, special interest giveaways & pork barrel politics. If Congress wants to get serious about government efficiency, they should VOTE NO. Keeping the government open until March 14 will cost ~$380BN by itself, but the true cost of this omnibus CR is far greater due to new spending. Renewing the Farm Bill for an extra year: ~$130BN. Disaster relief: $100BN. Stimulus for farmers: $10BN. The Francis Scott Key Bridge replacement: $8BN. The proposal adds at least 65 cents of new spending for every dollar of continued discretionary spending. The legislation will end up hurting many of the people it purports to help. Debt-fueled spending sprees may "feel good" today, but it's like showering cocaine on an addict: it's not compassion, it's cruelty. Farmers will see more land sold to foreign buyers when taxes inevitably rise to meet our obligations. Our children will be saddled with crippling debt. Interest payments will be the largest item in our national budget. Congress has known about this deadline since they created it in late September. There's no reason why this couldn't have gone through the standard process, instead of being rushed to a vote right before Congressmen want to go home for the holidays. The urgency is 100% manufactured & designed to avoid serious public debate.   The bill could have easily been under 20 pages. Instead, there are dozens of unrelated policy items crammed into the 1,547 pages of this bill. There's no legitimate reason for them to be voted on as a package deal by a lame-duck Congress. 72 pages worth of “Pandemic Preparedness and Response” policy; renewal of the much-criticized "Global Engagement Center," a key player in the federal censorship state; 17 different pieces of Commerce legislation; paving the way for a new football stadium in D.C.; a pay raise for Congressmen & Senators and making them eligible for Federal Employee Health Benefits. It's indefensible to ram these measures through at the last second without debate. We're grateful for DOGE's warm reception on Capitol Hill. Nearly everyone agrees we need a smaller & more streamlined federal government, but actions speak louder than words. This is an early test. The bill should fail.

@JDVance Um, okay, I guess you like being in an apron with your daddy overseeing. Norman Rockwell was a decent human being, I'm sure he would be aghast at this.

@JeffBezos @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump I wouldn't believe anything Bezos or Musk says. They are birds of a feather--money hoarders.

@elonmusk @realDonaldTrump Nope. 100% not true.

Just learned tonight at Mar-a-Lago that Jeff Bezos was telling everyone that @realDonaldTrump would lose for sure, so they should sell all their Tesla and SpaceX stock 🤭

@atrupar Cocaine?

@Jaguar Horrible ad. Looks like the ad agency took their cue from ridiculous getups on the catwalk. Which agency did this?

@carajrussell @netflix @MrJamesTupper Just watched the movie. What a crappy script, dialogue filled with one-liner cliches.

FALL INTO WINTER coming to @Netflix November 1st starring #LoriLoughlin & @MrJamesTupper !! ❄️🍡💜 #writtenbycarajrussell 🍭

@DougOfSkye Horrible Op Ed that you wrote for The Hill. "Not a single Democrat I speak with believes that Vice President Kamala Harris will win on Tuesday." I'm a Democrat who voted for Harris, and I think she will win.

Every post is written by me...UNLESS...it offends a powerful person or a world government. In that case, I was HACKED by Marvin the Martian who is still angry with me for standing up his sister at a resort on the far-side of the Moon.

@elonmusk Musk is our modern-day Howard Hughes and getting nuttier every day.

So true 😂

@IamHappyToast Excellent!

@dbauder Thank you for the wonderful article on Connie Chung!

@just_hush_hater @HelloCanada You are correct.

@HelloCanada I worry about how Louis will be treated in the future. It’s clear he’s high spirited and this will lead to him being made a scapegoat like his uncle 😢

Being born into a Ndebele, Kalanga or Sotho family in Zimbabwe can be a bewildering, challenging and frustrating affair. If you were born in Bulilima, Matabeleland South, like Joshua Mqabuko Nyongolo Nkomo was, in 1917, you could never become the head of state, because Mashona will never vote for an ethnic Kalanga representative in a presidential election. Yes, regrettably, that's just the way things are: Mashona are unashamedly biased on tribal grounds. So, if you are a young, imaginative and intelligent Ndebele man or woman, who is making plans for the future, learn to understand that there are unmarked restrictions with respect to what you can achieve in Zimbabwe, regardless of your character, experience and leadership skills. Rule number one is, forget the presidency; you will simply never be good enough for the rabid tribalists who hail from Mashonaland. See Mashona have this exclusive arrogance about being Shona, the Shona language, Shona history, and a strong conviction Zimbabwe is a vast Shona kingdom. And they, quite regularly, blame King Mzilikazi and King Lobengula for every possible ill that has afflicted the land since Cecil John Rhodes led a column of European settlers and the British South Africa Company into this beautiful country in the late 18th century. That is because in the Shona scheme of life, and tribal brotherhood, everything comes down to where you live and, sometimes, where your parents or great-grandparents lived in the 1800s. Everything boils down to where your ancestral home is. And everything else is secondary to that which you truly are. So nothing pleases Mashona more than discovering they share the same totem with a new colleague or casual acquaintance. You could meet somebody new in New York and they would be so excited and consumed with where you are from and far less excited with the substance of your humanity. So they will call you Shumba, Shiri, Soko Murewha, Mhofu, or whatever your totem is, at every twist and turn, and construct idealistic appraisals of your moral character and family values, all based on your totem. Plus, just to get things super right and familiar, they will throw in a strong regional accent in all conversations to cement the budding tribal relationship. But while I enjoy the camaraderie of close and casual friendships and appreciate the quintessential currency of cultural attachments, beliefs and practices, I have never been comfortable with friendships built on varying levels of ethnic and social discriminations. Mashona always have this thing about Shona cliques. Which explains why, if you come from Bubi, Tsholotsho, or Nkayi, you will not ever really become friends with people across the racial spectrum that are Shona, unless you learn to speak the Shona language and adopt Shona-like characteristics. You can work together, though, share a copy of Newsday on the bus each morning, make small talk at the airport and exchange pleasantries every day, but chances are, you will never go out for drinks on a regular basis, have warm meals at home on weekends and evolve into real friends. You will not let your families form close bonds and certainly never pick each other up from the bus station, share groceries and do the small things that close friends do for each other. And if you are a Ndebele person who is keen to join the world of politics, please accept that comedians like Gringo and football players such as Knowledge Musona and Tendai Ndoro conceivably stand a better chance of becoming the president of Zimbabwe than accomplished leaders in the mould of Professor Welshman Ncube, Dr. Nkosasana Moyo and Dr. Thokozani Khuphe ever will in this highly intolerant lifetime. See Mashona always find ways to justify why prominent Ndebele politicians cannot become state presidents. Indeed, for the most part, they are never smart enough and eloquent enough for supposedly highly educated and enlightened Shona voters. And if the Ndebele politicians happen to have PHDs in law, history or economics, or extensive experience in business, they are just never streetwise enough or battle-hardened enough for Shona voters. So, the bottom line is, Ndebele politicians are simply unacceptable in this race-definitive atmosphere of shamefully backward politics – and, nearly 30 years after the Unity Accord was signed in Harare, the Zanu-PF presidency is strictly reserved for Shona leaders. So is the MDC-T leadership. However, Ndebele football players can captain the national football team, just like the legendary Peter Ndlovu did in the 1990s, since MaZezuru, Manyika and Makorekore are absolutely crazy about winning football matches. Have you ever seen how passionately wild and violent matches between Dynamos and Highlanders can get on a calm Sunday afternoon at Rufaro Stadium? But if you ever perform Ndebele songs at a televised national event, such as President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s inauguration at the National Sports Stadium, like Jeys Marabini so willingly and patriotically did on November 24, 2017, all manner of Mashona people, skinny, fat, young and old, educated and uneducated, will click their tongues, frown endlessly and attempt to pelt you with plastic bottles and cans for singing in a national language they do not understand. But that is half of the story: the economic and social reality of life in Matabeleland is fairly scary stuff. In particular, Matabeleland North is the poorest province in the nation, and a whopping 82% of all households there are poverty stricken and 40% suffer from extreme poverty. Yet it is the insistence on a seemingly grave expression of tribal exclusion that I find hard to accept and appreciate. I believe in social fairness and the need to value people for who they are, irrespective of colour, nationality and race. And I believe in making the most of interracial relationships and multicultural circumstances and opportunities wherever I am. For the strongest societies are not built on narrow, tribal alliances, but expansive, unified collections of multicultural beliefs and practices and equal socioeconomic and political opportunities for all people. From Germany to Rwanda, two countries affected by severe circumstances of tribal warfare and genocide, the greatest resource any modern nation can possibly boast is a solid amalgamation of racial and ethnic diversity. Zimbabwe, sadly, is bleeding immeasurable happiness and mutual hope over the Gukurahundi atrocities, and suffering tremendously for the tragic and time-locked histories and sins of its great forefathers and founding fathers. We find comfort in continually drifting apart and seemingly conspire to manufacture hate amongst ourselves. Yes, Mashona and AmaNdebele people remain slaves to the customary and tribal yokes all of us carry on our proverbial necks, when, Heaven knows, everyone deserves an equal chance in life.

@MaddowBlog Trump's whole schtick is to claim to be a victim who is cheated. This is typical narcissistic, bully behavior. He wants to go to jail; he will compare himself to Mandela and Christ.

Rachel Maddow explains why she finds it "energizing" to recognize the damage being done to democracy in the United States in the context of the global effort to defend democracy against the same kind of threat.

@RonFilipkowski How is a person who is charged with 44 federal felonies and 44 state felonies going to bring back respect worldwide for America? By getting elected and pardoning himself like a dictator would do?

Melania looks like she’s in a hostage video tonight. Blink twice if you need help.

@AnnOlivarius What a jerk; we all know why he said that even after she introduced herself as a pilot.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why I said that". I do: bias. It has strong transformational powers on professional women. It turns doctors into nurses, bosses into secretaries, professors into grad students and athletes into cheerleaders. Works its magic on their pay check too.

@LMupstate @BillyBaldwin I think he knows what he's talking about.

@BillyBaldwin I have no idea what the beef is, but your comments are so conceited and misogynistic that I'm compelled to take Sharon Stone's side.

Not sure why Sharon Stone keep talking about me all these years later? Does she still have a crush on me or is she still hurt after all these years because I shunned her advances? Did she say to her gal pal Janice Dickinson the day after I screen tested and ran into them on our MGM Grand flight back to New York… "I'm gonna make him fall so hard for me, it's gonna make his head spin." ??? I have so much dirt on her it would make her head spin but I've kept quiet. The story of the meeting I had with Bob Evans imploring him allow me to choreograph the final sex scene in the photo below so I wouldn't have to kiss Sharon is absolute legend. Wonder if I should write a book and tell the many, many disturbing, kinky and unprofessional tales about Sharon? That might be fun.
