"RAT PACK REUNION" 

After The Rat Pack disbanded 30 years ago, analysts have uncovered a coincidence! It is said that the reunion and formation of The Rat Pack was likened to ''going from funeral to flowers''.

To prove that the coincidence analysis is correct, let's dig deeper into the issue: The meeting between the holy trio Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. was very coincidental, from which a spontaneous band was formed! Before that, all three of them fell into seemingly unsolvable entanglements, from personal life, career, to love. All were transformed and turned a new page.

Analysts discovered:

It was only after Ava Gardner shoved him into a black sea of ​​despair that Frank was able to transform from a washed-up bobbysox warbler into the undisputed master of the boozy saloon ballad.

Dean’s acrimonious (and most thought career-ending) break with Jerry Lewis allowed Dean to step out of the shadow of playing straight-man and into the light of master entertainer of all trades.

The traffic accident that cost Sammy an eye lent him a fresh perspective on life (literally and figuratively) that gave him his final boost into super stardom. They’d all been to bombsville and they knew there was always something in the rubble worth taking with them.

So, not every event that happens is unlucky, at the end of suffering is the beginning of a new opportunity. Our life is the same, just look at the positive side, everything will become more positive and better. Wish everyone will have their own miracles!

Anthony Bourdain to Cooks

 

"TONY in The KITCHEN"

LES HALLES

ANTHONY BOURDAIN

“I always lead from the front. Cooks always like to see their chef come in before them, leave after them, and always work at least as hard, or better yet, harder than them. And they want their chef to be capable of doing anything they’re able to do. Because you’re going through what they’re going through, there’s camaraderie.

It’s important that the crew knows that I care about them and will take care of them. I take pleasure in personal details. I take pleasure in their lives. And I protect them. If someone from another department—a waiter, a maître d’, an owner—has anything to say about anyone in my kitchen, they’re not allowed to communicate that directly.

In my kitchen, no one will have two bosses. All orders will come from me. If something bad is coming down the pike, it will hit me first, and I will disseminate that information. I will fight fiercely to make sure that criticisms of my crew, from the floor staff or elsewhere, come through me. And if something goes wrong, whether I’m in the kitchen or not, I will never, ever blame anyone else. I delegated a job to them. If they’ve screwed up, it’s my fault. I return loyalty with absolute loyalty.”

—Bourdain

President Trump Speech to Congress

 

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP

President Trump delivered his first joint address of his second term to a sharply divided Congress on Tuesday, using a combative speech to boast about a slew of executive orders he has signed in a bid to reshape the federal government and to lay out the legislative priorities he hopes to pass with aid of the Republicans who applauded his every line.

“Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the golden age of America,” Trump said in what turned out to be the longest joint session speech in U.S. history by any president. “From that moment on, it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country. We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four years, eight years — and we are just getting started.”

Here are five key takeaways from Tuesday’s speech.

5 MAJORE TAKEAWAYS From PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SPEECH

ELEON MUSK

At The CAPITAL BUILDING

JOINT SESSION of CONGRESS

PRESIDENT TRUMP SPEECH to CONGRESS

1) Boasting of executive orders and praise for Elon Musk

“Over the past six weeks, I have signed nearly 100 executive orders and taken more than 400 executive actions to restore common sense, safety, optimism and wealth all across our wonderful land,” Trump said.

Those have included a freeze on all U.S. foreign aid, the withdrawal of the U.S. from the Paris climate accord, the rescinding of electric vehicle incentives passed under former President Joe Biden as part of the Inflation Reduction Act and the implementation of sweeping tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China.

Trump said a major goal of his administration was “ending the flagrant waste of taxpayer dollars.”

“To that end, I have created the brand new Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, perhaps you’ve heard of it, which is headed by Elon Musk, who is in the gallery tonight,” he added. 

Musk’s role may be news to a federal judge hearing cases regarding the mass firings of government workers who demanded to know who was in charge of DOGE and were told that person was Amy Gleason, who previously worked at the U.S. Digital Service.

Trump proceeded to reel off a list of "appalling waste” Musk and his team had identified, though none of that could be immediately verified and past claims of uncovering fraud have turned out to be overstated.

2). No details on how to lower the price of eggs

Despite a campaign pledge to bring grocery prices down “on day one” of his administration, the price of eggs has continued to rise dramatically under his presidency due primarily to the slaughter of millions of chickens to stem the spread of bird flu. 

"Joe Biden especially let the price of eggs get out of control. The egg price is out of control, and we’re working hard to get it back down,” Trump said. “[Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins], do a good job on that. You inherited a total mess from the previous administration.” 

The agency that Rollins runs estimates that egg prices could rise by more than 40% in 2025.

3) Rep. Al Green removed from House Chamber after interrupting President Trump

Rep. Al Green, a Democrat from Texas, interrupts as President Trump addresses Congress. 

While Trump repeatedly went after those Democrats who attended his speech, saying there was nothing he could do to make them happy, notable moments of protest emerged

Rep. Al Green, a Democrat from Texas, stood early in the speech and heckled the president. That led to a rebuke from House Speaker Mike Johnson, but Green continued to shout Trump down.

“You have no mandate!” he yelled.

Johnson then instructed the House sergeant at arms to remove him from the chamber as Trump’s Republican backers chanted “USA! USA!”

Some Democrats held signs up during Trump’s remarks, some with the word “Lies” printed on them, others read “Save Medicare,” and many members of the party saw fit to exit the speech before it was finished.

“In just half an hour, he spewed ignorance on everything from diversity, immigration and trans kids to DOGE cuts and the cost of eggs,” Rep. LaMonica McIver of New Jersey said in a statement after walking out on the speech.

On Wednesday, House Republicans said they would vote on a resolution sponsored by Rep. Dan Newhouse to censure Green for his outbursts.

"We BUILT IT ! We PAID fro IT"

4). Eyeing Greenland - Taking Back The Panama Canal

Trump continued to press his plan to expand U.S. territorial holdings.

“The Panama Canal was built by Americans for Americans, not for others, but others could use it. But it was built at tremendous cost of American blood and treasure. Thirty-eight thousand workers died building the Panama Canal,” Trump said, adding, “We’re taking it back.”

“We have Marco Rubio in charge. Good luck, Marco,” he continued. The canal is currently managed and operated by the Panamanian-government-owned Panama Canal Authority.

Trump then moved on to his next already-spoken-for conquest: Greenland.

“I also have a message tonight for the incredible people of Greenland. We strongly support your right to determine your own future, and if you choose, we welcome you into the United States of America. We need Greenland for national security and even international security and we’re working with everybody involved to try and get it.”

Despite the fact that Greenland is a territory of Denmark whose prime minister has repeatedly stated that the island is not for sale, Trump assured his audience otherwise.

“I think we’re going to get it — one way or the other we’re going to get it,” he said.

5)  Ukraine Peace Deal not dead?

Despite a contentious White House meeting last week with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that resulted in accusations that Trump had sided with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump said Tuesday that a deal to end the war was still possible.

“Earlier today I received an important letter from President Zelensky of Ukraine,” Trump said. “The letter reads, ‘Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than the Ukrainians,’”

“I appreciate that he sent this letter,” Trump said, adding that his administration had been conducting simultaneous negotiations with Russia and has received strong signals that they are ready for peace.
