I am sure all of you had 20 minute long conversations with Mitch McConnell today since 3 years ago, he couldn’t even have a 45 second conversation.

The finale of Chernobyl (2019) builds its biggest payoff around testimony instead of spectacle. Jared Harris walking through every lie, shortcut and fatal decision turns a courtroom explanation into one of the most gripping climaxes television

In 2010, a team of geneticists drew Ozzy Osbourne's blood to answer one question. He had survived roughly 40 years of drinking and drugs at a level that kills most people. In his own words, he was a medical miracle. So they mapped his whole genome, hunting for the reason.

Only a few hundred people on the planet had been fully sequenced back then. Ozzy landed on a short list that included James Watson, one of the scientists who cracked the structure of DNA. The lab running the analysis compared his code against every genetic study on file at the US National Library of Medicine.

One gene jumped out. ADH4 builds the liver enzyme that breaks down alcohol, and Ozzy carried a version of it never documented before, one that may have let him clear a drink faster than most bodies can. A second oddity sat in a gene that controls how the body handles methamphetamine, parked at a spot that stays fixed across nearly every animal with a backbone. His COMT gene came loaded with both the warrior and the worrier settings for dopamine. Add it up, and his genetic risk of alcohol addiction ran about six times the average. For all that, coffee wrecked him. He was hypersensitive to caffeine.

The final read was blunt. One of the lead scientists summed it up: "We found smoke but no fire." No single Ozzy gene. Nothing in the data explained four decades of survival on its own. His body outlasting the abuse came down to luck and biology too tangled to pin on one line of code.

What finally took him was written somewhere else in the same DNA. In February 2019, after a fall shredded the nerves in his neck, he was diagnosed with a genetic form of Parkinson's his family called PRKN-2, a slow neurological disease with no cure.

By early 2025 he could no longer walk. On July 5 he played his last show seated on a black throne at Villa Park in Birmingham, a short drive from the streets where Black Sabbath formed in 1968. Forty thousand people packed the ground and 5.8 million more watched the livestream. Every pound raised went to Parkinson's research and two children's hospitals.

He died 17 days later, at 76. For years, scientists combed his genome for the thing that made him unbreakable and came up with nothing. The thing that finally broke him was sitting in the same code all along.

In Casino, the Japanese “billionaire cheapskate” K.K. Ichikawa - who wins $2 million at the Tangiers before Sam Rothstein sabotages his flight home and lures him back to the casino - was based on real Tokyo real-estate mogul and legendary high roller Akio Kashiwagi.

Known as “The Warrior,” Kashiwagi was one of the most notorious baccarat whales of the late twentieth century, reputedly playing over “$30,000 a hand” and nearly bankrupting several casinos. And like Ichikawa, he was also infamously cheap, reportedly taking “free soap, shampoo and towels” from luxury hotel suites.

However, the real-life Sam Rothstein, Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal, never crossed paths with Kashiwagi. Their stories belong to different eras: Kashiwagi’s gambling spree peaked in the late 80s and early 90s, long after Rosenthal had been barred from the casino industry.

The showdown between Ichikawa and Rothstein in Casino was instead loosely inspired by Kashiwagi’s infamous high-stakes clash with real-estate mogul and future U.S. president Donald Trump.

In February 1990, Donald Trump flew Akio Kashiwagi to Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, put him up in an ocean-view penthouse, and reserved a private baccarat table just for him. Kashiwagi arrived with $6 million and received another $6 million in credit, but after two days he left up $6.2 million.

Unwilling to accept the loss, Trump lured Kashiwagi back on terms that made it almost impossible for him to win again. He offered an informal “freeze-out” agreement: Kashiwagi would bring $12 million to the table and play until he had either doubled it or lost everything.

Knowing the odds would eventually swing back in the house’s favor over a long enough session, Trump counted on Kashiwagi being unable to resist the challenge. He took the bait. And after a brutal weeklong marathon of high-stakes baccarat, Kashiwagi went from being up millions to facing a staggering $10 million loss.

However, Kashiwagi’s real troubles were only just beginning.

After the Japanese asset-price bubble exploded, Kashiwagi’s company, Kashiwagi Shoji, buckled under the strain of its highly leveraged real-estate loans and collapsed as land values cratered. It’s also widely believed that he defaulted on high-interest debts connected to yakuza groups.

On January 3, 1992, the 54‑year‑old developer was found dead in the kitchen of his home, stabbed repeatedly with what investigators believed to be a samurai sword. To this day, his murder remains unsolved.

McConnel, an 84 year suffered an out of hospital Cardiac event. The trauma of the resuscitation itself is absolutely hell on the body.
My biggest question is how long he was down because that determines the outcome of his treatment. IMO, for him to be still in hospital after three weeks with no word on his status until public pressure forced his office to issue a statement, means that he is kept alive artificially while his office gets their story straight. The neurological effects on his body would be devastating, and there is only so much modern medicine can do.
Also, Governor Andy Beshear can't appoint a replacement, so there is nothing politically to gain by the anyone. So, why the secrecy?
