Sally Field won her 4th career Emmy last night & if you add those Emmy Awards to her 2 Oscars, what you get is a Hollywood icon. At 79, none of us should take Field’s presence in the industry for granted. She’s as good of an actor as there’s ever been in this business. Her appearance last night was a breath of fresh air.
Paul Simon pays tribute to 9/11 by performing "The Sound Of Silence".
A native New Yorker, you can see the deep emotion in Paul's face as he sings.
Heartbreaking.
This is a little old but in light of Paramount’s newest moves I think it’s important to repost this. For anyone wondering about the cozy relationship the Ellisons have with the President and his family and how that relationship is driving and economically profiting from this merger. It’s okay for you to asks questions as this pertains to our democracy.

They literally pay this guy to lie every night on their network and then pay the host to try and rebut his lies, the lies they know he’s gonna tell and pay him to tell.
What value is there in this ‘journalism’?

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.
I’m happy to share this because I don’t care what side of the aisle you sit on, this is a fact.
Speaker Mike Johnson this is for you.
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 50 years on every salary I received. From my first part time job until I retired. I always had a job.
The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.
The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too.
It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
Congress took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking.
They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
99% of people won't forward this to their timelines…..will you?
Please, for the sake of our country, repost this.
I’m a Jewish survivor of neonazi violence. Mark Ruffalo donated his time & resources to aid my friends & I from March For Our Lives to educate voters & raise awareness regarding issues of violence in our society. I reject Paramount’s baseless, defamatory attack against Mr Ruffalo
