“For all actors know that truly natural acting is rejected by the audience. Although people are better equipped to judge acting than any other art, the hypocrisy of ‘sincerity’ prevents them from admitting that they too are always acting some part of their own invention. To be a successful actor, then, it is necessary to add some eccentricities and mystery to naturalness so that the audience can admire and puzzle over something different from itself.” -Louise Brooks, Lulu in Hollywood (photo via Kobal Collection, c. 1929)American actress Louise Bro.

Why isn’t the Justice Department investigating the Clinton money laundering operation? Any other so-called charity would be under multiple federal and state indictments.

Hillary Clinton had her own private server when she was Secretary of State. This is indefensible. She destroyed 30,000 emails? Does anyone believe that all these emails were about yoga and Chelsea’s wedding? Hillary Clinton sold her office when she was in office, and she’s selling her office again — in advance of holding the Presidency.

How is it that George Stephanopoulos  is pulling down 105 million a year as, get this, a journalist? Why does Stephanopoulos still have a job and yet Brian Williams was dismissed?

Why does the media continue to give Barack Obama a pass on the bloodbath he has created in the Middle East by withdrawing our troops?

And how is it that the Mayor and District Attorney of Baltimore still have their jobs when they are obviously incompetent race hustlers?
