J-Lo Cancels Tour, Lots of Hurricanes, & Kim Still Littering: Headlines June 2, 2024.

By the way, it’s my daughter’s birthday today.

No summer concert tour for Jennifer Lopez

J-Lo will not tour this summer as planned. I guess it wasn’t a good idea to call it the “I’m not Taylor Swift” tour.

ANOTHER BUSY HURRICANE SEASON

Higher-than-average water temperatures in the North Atlantic mean that we could have more hurricanes this year. People in the southeast US have to prepare for a busy hurricane season by making sure they have sufficient provisions, planning evacuation routes, and moving to Idaho.

NORTH KOREA LOFTING MORE TRASH INTO SOUTH KOREA

North Korea has launched another 600 trash-filled balloons into South Korea. Either this represents a further escalation of diplomatic tensions between the two nations, or Kim Jong-Un has gotten really serious this year about spring cleaning.

Kim’s Poop Balloons, Trump’s Stormy Trial, & Go Tell it on The Mountain: Headlines May 29

My apologies for the lag in creating posts

North korea launches balloons against south Korea filled with garbage and manure

North Korea responded to propaganda leaflets launched from South Korea with balloons filled with garbage and manure. Later Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un used diplomatic back channels to ask President Biden if his refrigerator was running.

THE JURY BEGINS DELIBERATION IN THE TRUMP HUSH MONEY TRIAL.

The New York Jury is now deciding whether Trump broke the law in paying off Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about their sexual liaison years ago. While the prosecution covered the money trail, the “catch and kill” conspiracy with The National Enquirer, and payments to Michael Cohen, they didn’t answer the biggest question: how small is Trump’s penis.

HAPPY MOUNT EVEREST DAY

May 29th is the day we celebrate the anniversary of a guy named Hillary reaching the summit of Mount Everest. Climbing Mount Everest takes skill and a great deal of bravery. It’s almost as dangerous as telling Trump he’s going to get convicted.

Trump’s Side Gig, It’s Britney bitch, & Insurrection: Headlines, January 5

House Dems: Trump pocketed millions from foreign governments as president

House Democrats released a report based on documents from Trump’s accounting firm and a federal agency, revealing that Trump’s businesses received at least $7.8 million in payments from foreign governments and entities while he was in office. The Democrats alleged that these payments violated the Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause, which prohibits federal officials from accepting gifts or benefits from foreign countries without congressional approval.

China rents whole floors in Trump Tower, Russian Oligarchs stay at Mar-a-Lago, and North Korea bought millions of “Make America Great Again” hats.

Britney Spears: I’m a ghostwriter now and I love it

Britney Spears has confirmed that she has no plans to release a new album, despite rumors. She says she is happy to write songs for other people as a ghostwriter, and that her memoir was published with her approval.

The first think Britney had to find out: a ghostwriter doesn’t have to be dead.

Trump’s 2024 Bid Under Fire: More Voters Challenge His Ballot Access

Voters in Illinois and Massachusetts have filed challenges to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot under the 14th Amendment’s insurrectionist ban, which bars anyone who engaged in or supported insurrection against the US from holding office. The US Supreme Court is expected to review a Colorado ruling that found Trump ineligible to run for office, which could settle the matter for the whole country.

Trump’s lawyers have a big challenge trying to get a favorable ruling from the Supreme Court. For starters, their client doesn’t know how to spell “insurrection.”

Trump Picking the Right Battles

Trump may not have handled North Korea’s missile test well, and we may have Russian spy vessels off our cost.

But didn’t SCROTUS do a great job kicking Nordstrom’s ass.

UPDATE: It would help if I spelled “missile” right.
