Last night  almost all of America waited for JIMMY KIMMEL'S  apology for statement about CHARLIE KIRK.

If Erika Kirk can forgive the asssassin  who killed her husband ,basted on Jesus "forgive them" statement, can we forgive Jimmy  for his remarks "the  "MAGA  GANG WERE DESPERATELY TRYING TO TO PAINT THE ACCUSED SHOOTER TYLER ROBERTSON  AN YTHING OTHER THAN ONE OF THEM "?

Kimmel emotionally and believeably, stated "it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a youg man:" and sent on instagram  a note of compasion love to his family.

Kimmel bashes President Trump  EVERY NIGHT......so I believe he got carried away  which caused his suspension.  

However a message on  instagram is a very poor response  from the ' master of monologues'.

He has lost his appearances on Nexstar and  Sinclair....not a good prognosis........

CINDY LAUPER AND THE FARWELL TOUR AT JONES BEACH THEATER....A FABULOUS CONCERT!

What made it so special was she engaged the audience with her personal journey..."I'm telling you what happened to me" in an easy chat about her growing up in an Italian neighborhood with relatives everywhere. How she lay on the grass looking at the sky

while the ladies hung the sheets on the cloths line .In high school, she was voted "most likely to die". She also played the flute, at 70, she sang and danced like a young girl

Changing costumes, she sng the favorites - "True Colors" and "Girls Just Want to Have Fun"

.And then there was Kinky Boots We Are The World.

I would buy another ticket again and again if she sang nearby.

She was sensational!

FARWELL FARWELL....

ROMANIAN INSTITUTE 200 E 38 ST 3 WEEKS OF BRANCUSI: MUSIC, ART AND A COURT TRIAL ON fEB 21 THE US GOVERNMEENT ARRESTED HIM WHEN HE ARRIVED WITH HIS SCULPURES CALLING THEM MECHANICAL ITEMS. THEY WENT TO COURT . Did you know Brâncuși once went head-to-head with U.S. Customs officials over whether his works were "art" or "industrial objects"? Adapted by Amanda L. Andrei and Codin Andrei from Tatiana Niculescu’s acclaimed book, Brancusi v. United States dramatizes the moment the great Romanian sculptor Constantin Brâncuși sued the United States after his iconic sculpture, "Bird in Space", was denied recognition as art. The outcome of the trial, held in 1928, forever changed the legal definition of art in America and signaled the dawn of modern art. in the 20th century.   Brancusi v. United StatesWritten by: Tatiana Niculescu Adapted for stage by: Amanda L. Andrei Directed by: Dina Vovsi This play was part of a three part series at the Romanian Institute which included music of the time, and modern painters after Brancusi. Peggy Gugenheim, called Constantine Brancusi "half peasant, half God" He had studied with Rodin but his sculpures are devoid of the organic approach He simplefies his bronzes to structure, like the skeleton of the body alone, without the muscles nor skin...down to the essence alone, down to the idea. to the aesthetics. The U.S. Goverment had called his works "industrial works. Surrounded by his peers, Duchamp Modigliani, Steichen, he won the fight for the definition of "modern art",an art which made you .feel "

 SAD and ANGRY.....COLLISION AT REAGAN INT. AIRPORT..... Why are training helicopters heading straight towards a functional airport at all????

There are so many directions to go....lets start with the opposite direction where there is NO AIRPORT..

There is North South East West ...THEN there is Northeast, Northwest, Southeast Southwest and everything in between.

It is stated that "one goes, one comes," every minute as we see in the video...

Why is the helicopter heading crossing the paths of those planes at all??? WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY??????????????????????????????— feeling unhappy.
