Dick seemed to be truly impressed with Chris, particularly in his apparently impromptu "Old Age" song. I was impressed with the fluidity of Dick's movements. Actually the whole video was impressive. As a child of the 50s and 60s, I saw Dick Van Dyke as a positive fixture on TV and in movies and he seemed not to have a dark side, like many of his contemporaries.

What a beautiful man, family, friends and video. Brought back many great memories growing up, but I will never grow old. I love his large family, and am glad they love him (if not more) as much as us people looking in from the outside. We are blessed to have him still here.

""Well, he's disturbed," Van Dyke replied. "Do you recall in the beginning that 30 pretty prominent psychiatrists said that he's unfit [to be president]." Van Dyke then confirmed he would be voting for Biden in November. (Newsweek, July 2024) Dick Van Dike attacking Trump, and in return getting the star treatment. Happened a lot more in 2020, but still prevalent in 2024 (see Mark Hamill).

Dick Van Dyke had exactly one good role over 60 years ago. He's a mediocre talent who has coasted for the rest of his career. His brother Jerry was more talented.

I loved The Dick Van Dyke Show when I was a kid. I still watch reruns of it. But, like all Hollywood Halfwits, he has opened his big, fat, stupid liberal mouth one too many times about politics and I am no longer a fan.

No need to dump on Van Dyke re his anti-Trump statements; others have done that. But I also must make a comment *against* Martin in one area: His vocal range might be an octave, and I think if he had stepped aside earlier in Coldplay's history for another vocalist with more talent, then Coldplay might have been the first hugely successful band (on the order of the Beatles, Stones, etc. etc.) of the 21st Century. Martin is a talented writer, composer, arranger, and musician. But not a good vocalist. Sorry, Chris. I call 'em as I see 'em...

Syrian rebels fighting against the government of President Bashar al-Assad have entered Damascus as they capped a stunning advance across the country. Residents of the capital have reported sounds of gunfire and explosions, with the insurgents announcing they had also liberated the Saydnaya military prison north of capital. On Saturday evening local time, opposition forces took the central city of Homs, Syria's third largest, as government forces abandoned it. The city stands at an important intersection between Damascus, the capital, and Syria's coastal provinces of Latakia and Tartus - the Syrian leader´s base of support and home to a Russian strategic naval base.

Inglewood Oil Field owner Sentinel Peak argues in the lawsuit, filed this week, that the law, which was signed in September by Gov. Gavin Newsom, is unconstitutional. Attorneys for Sentinel Peak argue that the law “represents an illegal attempt to coerce an individual company to stop operation of its legal business,” according to court documents.

Senior White House officials are reportedly considering issuing retired Gen. Mark Milley a pre-emptive pardon over fears that President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration will go after the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The potential pardon for Milley, who was the nation’s highest-ranking military officer for part of Trump’s first term, was reported by the Washington Post Thursday. Milley, 66, faced intense scrutiny on Capitol Hill during President Biden’s first year in office after journalist Bob Woodward revealed that the Pentagon official placed secret phone calls to a top Chinese official before the 2020 election and after the Jan. 6. 2021, riot at the US Capitol.

Barack Obama is a practiced expert at this, and he gave a master class in it on Thursday at his Obama Foundation’s Orwellian-named Democracy Forum. With some notable and revealing difficulty in getting the words out, Obama accused the Republicans of doing everything that the Democrats have been doing for the past few years: rigging elections, weaponizing the justice system, and trying to ensure that they would remain in power on an indefinite basis.

Republican Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) is raising concerns that certain establishment GOP lawmakers may quietly undermine President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda despite publicly claiming to support it. As Trump gears up for another four years in the White House, Roy fears some of his colleagues, particularly those with strong ties to the D.C. establishment, will work behind the scenes to thwart his policies or derail his efforts. The Texas representative’s warnings reflect a broader anxiety within the GOP about the deepening divide between the incoming Trump Administration and those deep inside the swamp.

It is abundantly clear today we have not lived up to that idea, but we have not fully walked away from it either,” Biden said. Biden said slavery was “cruel, brutal, dehumanizing,” an “original sin” that “haunted America and cast a long shadow ever since.”
