The Day The Music Died

Sorry but this is not about that famous 70s song that everyone was humming for months.  Nope this is about the music chosen for the DC 250th celebration party.

America’s semiquincentennial party won’t reach all the way back for entertainment, but the celebration will put 1990s throwbacks on the National Mall stage. Organizers of the 250th birthday event on Wednesday unveiled the first slate of acts for the Great American State Fair, a 16-day, World’s Fair-style event scheduled for June 25-July 10 on the Mall between 4th and 14th streets NW, WUSA reports. Headlining June 26: an “I Love the ’90s” bill featuring C+C Music Factory, Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, and Young MC—acts behind hits like “Gonna Make You Sweat,” “Ice Ice Baby,” “Girl You Know It’s True,” and “Bust a Move.”

Country star Martina McBride is scheduled to be the opening act on June 25, with the Commodores and Morris Day and the Time playing on June 27, Flo Rida on July 2, and Bret Michaels on July 3. Mainstage shows are planned for Thursday through Saturday nights, with more performers to be named. Beyond the concerts, the fair will offer military band performances, film screenings, a 110-foot Ferris wheel, the refurbished Smithsonian carousel, robotics and autonomous vehicle demos, augmented reality features, and state and territory exhibits. Admission will be free, with organizers encouraging advance registration but allowing walk-ups. Freedom 250 CEO Keith Krach in a statement called the event “a moment for America to come together,” per the Hill.

Apparently this is the best Donny can do these days….A Listers would prefer not to be associated with the tacky showmanship of Donny and the gang.

I can hardly wait for the CD with the Trump logo (that is sarcasm).

But I do think that Milli Vanilli and Vanilla Ice are perfect for a Donny show….

I am sorry that this nation must endure the manure-like show of a failed prez and a political clown.

We will see who else hires on for this debacle known as the Donny State Fair.

Every day something more tacky than the day before is issued to celebrate our 250th….the Founders would be so proud.

Threaten Another Ally

Our Little Donny is good at only one thing….threatening allies to get his way.  With the Iran thing not going as well as he lied about he now has something to say to Oman…..the nation on the other side of the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump on Wednesday said the US would “blow up” the country of Oman if it doesn’t “behave,” a threat made when asked if he would accept a short-term deal that involved Iran and Oman jointly controlling the Strait of Hormuz.

“No, the strait’s got to be opened to everybody, it’s international waters. Nobody’s going to control it. We’ll watch over it, but nobody’s going to control it. That’s part of the negotiation,” Trump told reporters while hosting a cabinet meeting at the White House.

“Oman will behave just like everybody else, or we’ll have to blow them up. They understand that they’ll be fine,” the president added.

Iranian media reported last month that Iran’s initial proposal to end the war with the US involved charging a fee for ships transiting the strait, with the revenue split between Iran and Oman, which both have coasts along the waterway, and Iranian officials have held talks with their Omani counterparts on the issue.

Initially described as a “toll,” the issue is now being framed in different terms. “There is no toll. We need to pay attention to the words we use. We’re not after money. Iran and Oman need to create protocols for the safe passage of ships, and this will be based on international laws,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said this week.

“It’s only natural that the services we provide, like navigation and the preservation of the ecosystem of the Strait, the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman will have costs. These should not be considered tolls. Iran and Oman are being responsible in our efforts and I hope we will reach a conclusion soon,” Baghaei added.

Iran is unlikely to back down on the issues in its negotiations with the US as it seeks the funds to pay for reconstruction after the US-Israeli bombing campaign.

The bully has spoken.

Will Oman acquiesce or will they show the middle finger to the loud mouth?

This is fun watching an idiot make a bigger idiot of himself.
