I read somewhere that any country who refuses would be banned from international trade with the U.S. I can't remember where I read it and I don't know if it's been confirmed.

Below is Sharon Tharp's interview with Angela which was posted today. Angela admits she fake-cried sometimes and she also acknowledged that her paranoia got her in trouble. Below is Sharon Tharpe's interview with Quinn, which was posted this week. He says he wasn't surprised to be voted to be put on the block by America because he was Tucker's arch-nemesis and he had no doubt that Tucker was America's favorite.

I'll bet Brian had no idea Whoopi was going to call out that bakery. If she's wrong about what she said, the show and ABC/Disney could be sued, not just Whoopi. I'll bet the View lawyers are working overtime on this.

There's a Charlotte Russe dessert and also a Charlotte Russe clothing chain. Whoopie said she wouldn't name the place (presumably a bakery) where the desserts were ordered, but she may have gotten the clothing chain blackballed by a lot of customers who will confuse the store with the dessert.

The first single of Clay's Christmas album comes out today. It's the old Paul McCartney song Wonderful Christmastime, but with a new and original arrangement. I really like it. eta: The album is called Christmas Bells are Ringing. Here's the single:

Tammy's still living at Chris and Brittany's house--it's been a couple of weeks, I think, and there's another 2-3 weeks to go before the yellow house is finished. Tammy and Brittany seem to be getting along because they don't talk much to each other. Good news for Chris--he only has to lose another 20 or 25 lbs in order to get his skin surgery. Tammy pouted like a child when told she still has quite a bit to lose before she can have surgery. She refused to let the doctor examine her. Amy is still talking about getting her skin surgery even though she's not anywhere near ready. Amanda and Tammy have gone two months without speaking. Amy shows off her cooking skills (??) by cooking a big dinner for everyone, with both Tammy and Amanda present, whereby she will bring the family together again. Obviously a lame producer-driven storyline. Amanda announces her move to Florida and Amy breaks down crying because the family won't be together anymore. Someone should tell Amy that millions of families have one or more members who live in another state or another country and they make do. They do Facetime or phone calls or annual visits.

Are you maybe thinking of Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, Melania's former senior advisor? She wrote a book about Melania and spilled quite a few secrets.

I've never heard anything about this. Could you give a source? To my knowledge, although Alyssa has worked in different capacities in the trump administration, she has never worked for Melania.

New video:

Yes, he's very much mellowed on the radio over the last several years, but even in the early years, the radio guy was only a persona, not the real Howard. The real Howard went home each night, ate the same nightly meal of rice and chicken, and was shy and introverted. He and his second wife have been together nearly 25 years and have made it their mission to foster hundreds of cats over the years, in addition to their own pet cats. He's had therapy for many years and he's apologized for the horrible things he's said about people like Rosie O'Donnell (they're now friends) and Kathie Lee Gifford, who has forgiven him.

I like Bill Maher too and I agree about the clapping. But I was indeed confused regarding the Nov. '24 comment in the May '24 thread. 😁

I'm a little late as I just discovered this thread, but I just wanted to say that, regarding the above, trump calling this country a garbage can happened before the Madison Square Garden comedian's joke. It starts at the :13 mark:

I've now lost all respect for them. eta: I deleted the rest of my post because, upon rereading it, I think it's too political for this forum. (Don't want to get a warning point.)

Of course not. 😊 🧦🧦🧦
