RIP Trixie Norton.

Joyce Randolph, who played Trixie Norton on the television classic The Honeymooners, died Saturday at her home in New York City, according to multiple reports. She was in hospice care at the time of her death, which was from natural causes.

It would be funny if it weren't true..............

No one except for a small minority want an EV. Hertz has had enough.

The Truth Hertz: Rental Giant to Shed 20,000 EVs -- and Gas Up

Just a few months ago, Hertz committed to making electric vehicles a quarter of its rental fleet. They had already announced an intent to partner with Tesla as a major provider for their future fleet, which had pushed Tesla’s value even higher. Supposedly, the scale of the demand and usage would lower costs across the board and make fleet maintenance all that much easier for Hertz and other rental agencies.

Frank Zappa's song, 'Flakes' has come to fruition.

Exploding toilet at a Dunkin’ store in Florida left a customer filthy and injured, lawsuit claims

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A customer has filed a negligence lawsuit against Dunkin’, claiming he was injured by an exploding toilet at one of the coffee chain’s locations in central Florida.

Paul Kerouac is seeking more than $100,000 in a lawsuit filed Wednesday in state court in Orlando, claiming he suffered “severe and long term injuries” following the explosion of a toilet in the men’s room of a Dunkin’ location in Winter Park, Florida, a year ago.

Not familiar with 'Flakes'? Here you go..........

I hate to break it to you Wokesters. But volcanic activity is not caused by "Climate Change".

Authorities in Iceland began detecting intense seismic activity in the Reykjanes Peninsula in November, prompting concerns that another volcanic eruption could hit the region located less than 20 miles south of Iceland’s capital. The Reykjanes Peninsula is a hotbed of volcanic activity, home to a large active volcano system that has erupted five times since 2021. About 3,600 people, most of the population of the small town of Grindavik, were evacuated in November after over 1,700 small earthquakes hit the region in just 24 hours. The volcano finally erupted on December 18, and died down a few days later. A few hundred residents were allowed to return to their homes in the following weeks since the eruption, Bloomberg reported in January. Those same residents were forced to evacuate for a second time on Saturday night.

Nope, never saw this coming. Now that kids can decide their "gender" how long will it be before minors can consent to sex? And will it be in my lifetime or yours?

LGBTQ Pride Leader Sean Gravells Arrested for Horrific Crimes

Police have arrested a prominent LGBTQ leader on several charges related to horrific crimes against children, prosecutors have revealed.

Prosecutors informed CBC News that former North Peace Pride Society (NPPS) President Sean Gravells was arrested on December 31 for alleged sex crimes against children.

Gravells of British Columbia, Canada faces charges of sexual interference with a person under 16, physical contact with a person under 16 for sexual purposes, and possessing as well as importing or distributing child pornographic materials.

Looked like an insurrection to me, how about you?

An angry mob of anti-Israel protesters swarmed the White House, chanting “F**k Joe Biden” and demanding a ceasefire in Gaza in another of the temper tantrums that have erupted over U.S. support of the Jewish nation’s war on Hamas.

On Saturday, thousands of Hamas supporters and left-wing extremists marched on the home of the leader of the United States government, and in an escalation from other protests, some attempted to storm the premises, coming dangerously close to breaching the reinforced gates.

Since Sunday night is the Kinder & Gentler MH I'll leave out the expletive adjectives for our Two Genius Award Winners.

JANUARY 12--Prosecutors have declined to pursue a felony case against a doctor who was arrested for striking her ex-husband with a handful of bread slices she had soaked with water before throwing them at the 70-year-old victim.

Heather Neeley, 58, was arrested last month following an altercation inside a St. Petersburg, Florida residence. Neeley, a licensed psychiatrist, was charged with battery on a person 65 years or older, a third degree felony.

Cops reported that the victim said he was arguing with Neeley when she “grabbed a handful of bread from the loaf,” wet the bread at the kitchen sink, and hit him with the soggy slices.

When deputies arrived at the house in response to a 911 call from the man, the front of his shirt was wet “with several pieces of bread stuck to the shirt.”

After being read her rights, Neeley (seen at right) reportedly stated that nothing happened between her and the victim. But she “could not explain the wet bread in the garbage can of the kitchen,” cops noted.

Neeley and the man divorced about eight years ago, but live together in the home, which Neeley purchased after they split.

No word if she works in the relationship counseling area.

With a little lot of hard work this person added years to her life and should be an inspiration to others. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

Dana Bradley, a 46-year-old woman from Hartselle, has recently been crowned Mrs. Alabama International in her debut pageant.
