Must have been suicide since every news article references her struggles. R.I.P.

Number one song notwithstanding, she always was a troubled soul. I hope she is now at peace.

Saint Peter will no doubt have some questions about that time when she tore up the picture of Pope John Paul II on Saturday Night Live.

She had an interesting voice, but she was the walking billboard for mental illness -- which lead her to say and do so many crazy and often evil things in her life. It's too bad she didn't get the mental health help she so desperately needed instead of just falling deeper and deeper into her own insanity. I think of her, the Dixie Chicks, and KD Lang, as the queens of destroyed careers because they just couldn't keep their stupid mouths shut when they weren't singing. All great talents who threw it all away to be evil!!!

The lunatic witch called Pope John Paul II "the real enemy" - - but - - - - but now she'll have to beg him not to send her to Hell for all eternity. As we used to say in Brooklyn - - "Chinky-chose always shows!"

I’m 70 years old and all I remember about her is her shaved head. #6, Pope JPII doesn’t get to make that decision - it’s God’s alone.

RIP Sinead. You had your issues and problems, but you were certainly not a boring woman. Her version of the Cockles, Mussels song still sends shivers down my spine. Shame she shaved her head, because she was a beautiful woman when she had her curls.

As the RCC had pedophile priests that sexually abused young children, her criticism of the pope was justified. That she turned to alla, well, that could cost her.

Sinead O’Connor once appeared at the Garden State Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ a number of years ago. The National Anthem was always played at the art center before each concert. However, Ms. O’Connor (a citizen of Ireland), when informed of this, refused to go on stage and perform if the National Anthem was played. The management of the Garden State Arts Center had to reluctantly acquiesce to Sinead O’Connor’s demand, but they vowed that she would never appear again at their concert center. Ironically, the next week, Crosby, Stills & Nash, hardly fans of Ronald Reagan and Patrick Buchanan, performed the National Anthem in three-part-harmony at the start of their concert at the Garden State Arts Center, which was greeted with a standing ovation by the appreciative members of the audience. I’m very sorry that Sinead O’Connor died at age 56, but now possibly, she and fellow former Roman Catholic George Carlin can discuss the importance and relevance of the Roman Catholic Church for the rest of eternity. Dominus vobiscum, Ms. O’Connor.

Leon Panetta says he doesn't regret signing

Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has no regrets signing the now-infamous open letter heavily suggesting the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Panetta was among the dozens of former intelligence officials sounding the alarm on Russia's interference in the 2020 presidential election after the New York Post published its bombshell reporting about then-candidate Joe Biden's son, shedding light on shady foreign business dealings. After several news organizations authenticated the laptop's contents, CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins asked the ex-Obama official Monday night whether he wished he never signed the letter "given what we know now."

When Joe Biden tapped Kamala Harris to be his running mate in 2020, it was perhaps the most easily predicted vice presidential choice in recent memory. Biden had made it clear that after emerging from the most diverse Democratic presidential candidate field in history, he would select a woman to join him on the ticket. The dynamics of the Democratic Party, which relies heavily on the votes of African American women to win elections, made it seem likely that Biden would select a running mate from this demographic group, especially as the murder of George Floyd brought race issues to the top of the public agenda.

President Joe Biden’s dog, Commander, reportedly bit or attacked Secret Service agents as many as 10 times between the months of October 2022 and January 2023. One incident involving the dog reportedly required a hospital visit for the Secret Service agent, according to records from the Department of Homeland Security that were released following a FOIA request by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch. Per the Associated Press: On Nov. 3, 2022, a Secret Service official emailed colleagues that Commander had bitten a uniformed officer twice — on the upper right arm and thigh.

Washington—With heat waves spreading across the United States, President Joe Biden on Thursday announced new steps to protect workers — including a hazard alert notifying employers and employees about ways to stay protected from extreme heat — as well as measures to improve weather forecasts and make drinking water more accessible. The actions come as nearly 40% of the U.S. population faces heat advisories, according to the National Weather Service. High temperatures have already scorched the Southwest this month, and more heat is expected in the Midwest and the Northeast in the coming days. Washington won’t be spared, and the heat index in the capital could reach 110 degrees Fahrenheit

Hunter Biden arrived at court today in Delaware to agree to a sweetheart deal by the Biden Department of Justice on his years of criminal drug use, trafficking prostitutes, and multi-million dollar pay-for-play and bribery schemes with foreign officials from China, Ukraine, Romania, etc. Hunter was only charged with two misdemeanors related to tax fraud and he will avoid prison time on the gun charge. According to the DOJ’s sweetheart deal, Hunter Biden would receive immunity from future charges. This is unprecedented. The judge was not having it!

NBC News has been slammed online for a report about black people needing 'safe spaces' to enjoy outdoor activities. NBC BLK reporter Char Adams described in a recently-revived June essay several black-led outdoor groups working to 'provide safe spaces for black people to enjoy outdoor activities and dispel myths that the outdoors doesn't belong to us.' The report focused heavily on creating racially segregated 'safe spaces' so that black people can avoid 'harassment' and 'trauma' from white people who might fly 'Trump flags' at campsites.

The tragic death of the Obamas' private chef Tafari Campbell has left family and friends reeling in shock and struggling to understand how he came into trouble on a seemingly calm body of water. Campbell, 45, was a competent swimmer who drowned on Sunday night while paddle boarding on the pond next to the Obamas' $12million home. The couple were not in the house at the time but were elsewhere on the island, their office confirmed today. Police do not suspect foul play, but many questions surrounding the accident remain unanswered.

The race is on to prevent the sinking of a cargo ship off the Dutch coast which is carrying almost 3,000 vehicles, including 350 Mercedes-Benz, as it burns out of control with an electric car believed to be behind the deadly fire. At least one crew member died and others were injured after fire ripped through the Fremantle Highway, a 18,500-ton car-carrying vessel. Rescue helicopters and boats evacuated 23 crew members from the Panamanian-registered ship. Officials have said there are 'many' wounded. Some suffered broken bones, burns and breathing problems and were taken to hospitals in the northern Netherlands

President Joe Biden’s relationship with the truth is, at best, tenuous. This last week has been another eye-opener. With endless reports on Hunter Biden’s business dealings, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday said, “I’ve been asked this question a million times. The answer is not going to change. The answer remains the same: The President was never in business with his son. I just don’t have anything else to add.”Well, that’s a far cry from what Biden said in 2019. “I’ve never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,”

The US Women's soccer team gave another uninspiring performance of their national anthem before their World Cup game against Holland on Wednesday. Only six players held their hands to their chest when The Star-Spangled Banner was playing and not all of them were singing. Those who did - such as Alex Morgan, Julie Ertz and Lindsey Horan - appeared to mumble the words rather than sing loudly along.By comparison, the Dutch team sang proudly to their anthem, Wilhelmus, with the players wrapping their arms around each other before the game began in Wellington, New Zealand.

The prosecutors gave Hunter Biden a sweetheart plea bargain to end the tax fraud and gun case against him. For offenses that most certainly would have landed you or me in jail for years, Hunter got . . . . . . [drum roll] . . . . . . nothing. Nada. Zero jail time. He didn’t even have to pay all of his unpaid taxes because the prosecution dallied so long that the statute of limitations expired. And the deal apparently immunized him against unrelated charges. He would walk, a new man. Well, not entirely.
