Gene Hackman has passed away at the age of 95.
Gene was one of the greatest actors of his, or anyone's generation. He was a powerhouse, as adept at comedy as he was drama. Today is a very sad day, we've lost a legend. Gene was a giant of cinema.

Canada’s response to U.S. tariffs. Justin Trudeau's best speech.
Canada will place 25% tariffs on $155 billion in US imports in retaliation for Trump tariffs. That is an addition to a nationwide boycott on all US products across Canada. #cdnpoli #tariffwar

Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch.
President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

In '61, John F. Kennedy was Inaugurated on the Capitol steps, in windchills of 7 degrees. It was almost as cold for Obama in '09.
In fairness, Trump IS more than 3 decades older than JFK & Obama were.
Or did he just fear small crowds?

Happy 94th Birthday, Robert Duvall
In less than 20 minutes screen time in Apocalypse Now, Duvall earned an Oscar nomination, owns the epic 'Ride of the Valkyries' sequence and delivers one of the most iconic quotes in cinema history.
'I love the smell of napalm in the morning.'
