Coconuts & More
From 25 of the funniest family Christmas photos by Lori Vanover, msm.com. It’s beginning to look a lot like…:
Headline from nypost.com: “Heroes & villians: Muslim Bondi Beach hero who disarmed terrorist branded a ‘traitor’ in Arab media for saving Jewish lives: report.” Anyone surprised?
The remarkable human ability to adapt — from NYP: “Here’s why savvy travelers fly with coconuts in their carry-on bag — and yes, it’s legal.” Full bottles of water are banned. There is a soft eye at the top of coconuts. Metal straws are allowed. Coconuts contain between seven and 34 ounces of fluid, according to the article by Ben Cost.
Dig in! Headline from foxnews.com: “Epstein files explode open as DOJ details discovery of powerful figures and more than 1,200 victims.” Trump haters must be begging for damaging info.
How will the mainstream media spin this? “Trump secures agreements with major drugmakers to lower Medicaid prescription costs for Americans.” Maybe they’ll pretend it never happened.
I like this even better: “Trump administration accelerates deregulation, cuts 600+ rules and regulations.” Imagine the left’s hand wringing. How sweet it is!

RIP actor Udo Kier, master of the offbeat, approximately 80. Born in Germany, he and his mom were pulled from the rubble of the bombed-out hospital in which he was born. He moved to London as a young man, mastered English and went on a prolific run beginning in 1966. There are 279 titles under his name at IMDb, three works to be released posthumously. He played the titular characters in Paul Morrisey’s over the top Flesh for Frankenstein (1973) and Blood for Dracula (1974). He appeared in Dario Argento’s Suspiria (1977), Gus Van Zant’s My Own Private Idaho (1991), and several Lars Van Trier films. He also did mainstream movies: Ace Venture: Pet Detective (1994), Johnny Mnemonic (1995), Barb Wire (1996), Armageddon (1998), Blade (1998), End of Days (2002), Grindhouse (2007), Brawl in Cell Block 99 (2017), Dragged Across Concrete (2018). He also did a lot of TV and some voiceovers. Here’s a quote attributed to him: “I’ve made over 220 films. Of these 220 films, 100 films are not good, 50 are okay, and 50 are very good.” Well done, Sir. Thank you. Photos from Google Images:
