August 4, 2025: Reader Tips

Following up on the previous Reader Tips, here again is Tina Arena, this time performing Don’t Cry For Me Argentina.

We’ll be crying if you don’t share some great news tips!

Bonus: To illustrate what Epic Hypocrites all Woke Warriors are, here’s Beyoncé in some jeans commercials: 1 2 3. These “warriors”, also knows as C-O-W-A-R-D-S, would never criticize her for doing the commercials, nor for the obvious cultural appropriation of the blonde hair.

  1. Hmmmm? What did I notice about all 3 of Bey’s advertisements? Yeah … she’s dyed her hair ‘blonde’ in all of them … doing her best Sydney Sweeney imitation? Well … at least she didn’t spread her legs and stick her gash in the camera … like she does for 2 hours at each one of her concerts.

    Let’s see … Michelle Obama said she wishes her daughters grow up like ‘role model’ Bey? So they’ll be straightening the hair and dying it blonde. I can’t wait to see that.

  2. The BIG deal here in the SF Bay this weekend was the THREE concerts by Dead and Co. at Golden Gate Park to commemorate 60 years of The Grateful Dead. Yeah, I didn’t go because as they say … “you can never go back” … Fossilized Bob Weir and Mickey Hart can’t replicate the Dead in their day. The news said there were HUGE crowds in Haight Ashbury (at the East end of GG Park) buying all the tiedye t-shirts (mostly in XXL). The news reports these three concerts generated at least $1M in retail business. The (still) long-haired hippies aren’t broke anymore. P

    So I just enjoyed a sweet 1977 Dead clip of Estimated Prophet … since it’s an ode to California …
    California, preaching on the burning shore
    California, I’ll be knocking on the golden door
    Like an angel standing in a shaft of light
    Rising up to paradise, I know I’m gonna shine
    … with Jerry’s Wah-wah guitar sounding exceptionally punchy and sweet. Jerry’s timing and pace are as humanly unique as any guitar player in history. Check out his solo and outro … very sweet.

    Jerry is playing his new Travis Bean TB-500-11 guitar run thru a fixed Wah-pedal rumored to be a Mu-torn III run thru some added electronics. It sounds SO good.

    1. There really is no going back. I could stay up all night and listen to Traffic and Blind Faith.

  3. Warren Kinsella, like Hunter Biden, dabbles in art.

    Here he seems to be complaining that someone is trying to “nickel and dime” him re the price for his paintings.

    Poor Warren, his paintings aren’t very good, (he posts photos of some on X and his blog), but like a modern socialist he thinks he’s entitled to more money for nothing.

    Just because you paint as a pastime, doesn’t mean your “art” is any good. People really don’t want “a piece of the artist’s heart, a piece of their soul”, they want a painting they like.

  4. Rumor going around that California is going to land-grab the areas burned by the recent wild fires, especially the coast line.

    Only 4 permits have been issued in the area affected by the wildfires. Now a claim those permits were all issued before the fires. They are into the 8th month after the fires, and still no permits. Plus the squatters have arrived (different video).

  5. Can 007 Survive Wokery?

    It’s not as if the Bond franchise hasn’t been accommodating, either. Moneypenny is currently black. So too is Felix Leiter, while Bond’s replacement 007 in No Time to Die was black (and female to boot). The rumours are Justin Trudeau even offered to black-up for the role of ‘M’ as well, but was advised against it so soon after the election.

    1. He was demonstrating how he’s got us by the sac.
      Oh, and thanks for that visual. GaHHHH!

    1. Where does Carnage park his money?
      In the USA.

      Including investing in the following companies heavily into LNG:
      – Cheniere Energy
      – Chevron
      – ConocoPhillips
      – ExxonMobil Corporation
      – EQT Corporation

  6. If you ask the AI experts (Copilot or ChatGPT) “what is de-industrialization” you will get something like …

    “Deindustrialization is the process by which industrial activity—particularly manufacturing—declines in a region or economy over time. This often involves a shift away from factory-based production and heavy industry toward services and information-based sectors.” If you keep reading, it’s generally seen as a negative thing.

    If you ask “what is a service economy” you’ll get …

    “A service economy is a sector of the economy that focuses on providing services rather than producing goods. In many developed nations, the service economy constitutes the largest portion of the overall economy, emphasizing intangible value such as customer service, comfort, and experience. This shift towards services reflects a broader trend in economic development, where activities like hospitality, healthcare, and education play a crucial role in economic growth.” Generally a positive thing.

    So de-industrialization is a negative thing which leads to a service economy which is a positive thing.

  7. Illegal migrant who broke free with help of anti-ICE activists is caught while wearing $1,700 Louis Vuitton T-shirt

    … Anti-ICE activists helped British national Ahmed Mohamed escape as he was being transferred to a detention center in downtown Los Angeles last Tuesday, The Post previously reported.

    Mohamed, who has a rap sheet including charges of narcotics and weapons possession…
