In the News II

After reading about the goldfish able to drive his bowl around the floor I’m pretty sure all animals are more intelligent than we give them credit for. So, I don’t think there is anything special about a cat or dog. People have cows that act kind of like pets. What’s the real difference if they all have some awareness. The rule is either become a vegan or at least don’t eat your pets.

A Michigan inmate has been awarded $100 million for a sexual assault lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs, based on a default judgment after the hip-hop tycoon failed to show up in court or file any response to the case.

The Lenawee County Circuit Court judge awarded the winnings on Monday to Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith, who’s serving prison time at a correctional facility until at least 2036 for first-degree criminal sexual conduct and kidnapping in unrelated cases. Cardello-Smith is one of several people to accuse Combs of sexual assault over the last year.

Judge Anna Marie Anzalone ordered Combs to pay $10 million each month beginning Oct. 1 for 10 months.

A plaintiff can receive a default judgment when the defendant doesn’t formally respond to the case or appear in court. Combs did not appear at a virtual hearing on Monday, according to court records, which led to the judge’s order. At a hearing in August, a judge said that Combs was served.


Attorneys for Combs contest that he never received notice of the lawsuit and will look to have the case dismissed.

Melania Trump announced the upcoming release of her memoir. I can't think of person more in the public eye and have a less interesting story for a memoir than her.

I guess you never heard of Hillary Clinton then? Heck, or when then-Senator Obama published his?

Compare the three backstories. There is no comparison between the two you mentioned and college dropout who married up.

I wonder if Melania’s memoir will delve into her raging alcoholism.
