How about Babe Vigoda? To go along with Babe-raham Lincoln? 🤔

Trump backer Timothy Mellon identified as donor of $130m for US troop pay during government shutdown Reclusive Republican donor is descendant of gilded aged industrialist and former treasury secretary Andrew Mellon

‘Timothy Mellon, heir to the gilded age industrialist and former treasury secretary Andrew Mellon, is the secret donor whom Trump has described as a “friend”, “great American” and “patriot”, but has refused to name, the Times reported on Saturday…’ 💰

I am finalising my annual London round-up for Shakespeare Survey & can report that it includes 29 shows (some of them adaptations) in 15 different venues, including 2 Dreams, 2 12th Nights, 2 Richard IIs, 3 Macbeths, 3 R&Js, & 7 HAMLETs.

🥱 Despite his bluster in 2021, it is now 2025 and all this supposed “rallying of support” has not manifested.

His legislation passing ability in Albany is utterly non-existent. He talks a good game but he’s ineffectual at best.

In fact, very pro-BDS WOL Palestine doesn’t consider him an ally.

‘Second, this ghost thing has really changed the nature of our relationship. Jake and I can’t socialize in public together; ghosts are pretty marginalized. Besides, he mostly likes to hang out in the basement and wail. I’m trying to be supportive of his “new thing,” but it’s not very sexy.’ 👻

And honestly, the Jewish/Israel issues with him are minor if not ignorable. Toxic radicals like WOL Palestine consider him a joke and not a serious anti-Israel entity.

The truth? If Mamdani wins the NYC Mayor campaign, he will have to contend with pro-Hamas zealots as well as pro-Israel zealots.

I early voted for Mamdani for NYC mayor because he’s the least toxic of all them.

Cuomo has been running a no energy campaign; on the street in deep Brooklyn I see no flyers, posters or presence.

Sliwa is an angry, idiotic, incompetent clown.

Mamdani is the best of the 3 and he still has issues.

Calling Trump an insane creep who tore down the White House is good politics

Ronald Reagan in his own words in 1987. 📻

Never thought I would ever say this, but Ronald Reagan was so much better a President than widdle Donnie Drumpf will ever be… And I don’t like Ronald Reagan! 😧

Except for the National Guard since they are wearing actual, coordinated uniforms. 🪖

Le Studio - Wikipedia

Finally realized I am mainly into Rush’s “Le Studio” output:

• “Permanent Waves” (1980)
• “Moving Pictures” (1981)
• “Signals” (1982)

Not into “Grace Under Pressure” (1984) which was the first new album I ever bought. Or did I score that as a cut out from Titus Oaks Records on Avenue U? Dunno. 🤷‍♂️
