I have been hearing a lot about Diamond and Silk having a blog. So I tried to look up their blog. I found this: https://www.diamondandsilkinc.com/
I think that Diamond and Silk should refer to their online writing as a website, not a blog.

The strange story of Stephen Hawking
You can read all about Stephen Hawking at https://www.aol.com/article/news/2018/03/14/stephen-hawking-wants-his-most-famous-formula-engraved-on-his-tombstone-heres-what-it-means/23385698/?utm_source=zergnet.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=zergnet_2684961&ncid=txtlnkusaolp00001361
If you have ever seen the TV show called The Big Bang Theory, you know who Stephen Hawking is. He is a frequent guest on the show.
The following quote is from the news article sited above:
Begin quote
In 1974, long before Stephen Hawking was the famous cosmologist he became, he developed his most influential theory.
That concept, which came to be known as Hawking radiation, explained how energy and even matter could escape the immense gravitational pull of a black hole.
On Wednesday, Hawking died at the age of 76, but his scientific theory lives on. And in fact, Hawking himself will make sure of it, even in death.
End
I am curious about what caused Hawking to get “Lou Gehrig’s disease”. Lou Gehrig was hit in the head by a baseball. A month later he died of “Lou Gehrig’s disease”. As far as I know, Hawking was not hit in the head with a baseball, nor anything else. He was just walking home one day, when all of a sudden, he came down with Lou Gehrig’s disease. He was 23 years old.

The followin quote is from the news article:
Begin quote
Hawking’s children, Lucy, Robert and Tim, announced their father’s passing in the following statement:
We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today. He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years. His courage and persistence with his brilliance and humor inspired people across the world. He once said, “It would not be much of a universe if it wasn’t home to the people you love.” We will miss him forever.
Hawking was first diagnosed with ALS in 1963, at the age of 21. He was only expected to live for another couple of years, but was ultimately discovered to have a rare form of the disease that progressed at a much slower rate. He was able to walk on his own for much of the 1960s with the help of crutches, but eventually required a mobilized wheelchair. When he lost the use of his voice, he began using a unique method of synthesized computer vocalizations that allowed him to remain vocal for the rest of his life.

After 9-11 and Sandy Hook….
This morning, I heard the words in the title of my blog post on a TV show which told about the recent shooting at a Florida high school. It seems that every shooting by a crazy person is now being compared to 9-11 and Sandy Hook.
9-11 is claimed to have been an attack by a foreign government that wanted to bring down the buildings owned by one man, so that he could build more spectacular building on that spot. This foreign government has never been identified.

classification documents about the death of JFK to be released
In these recent news articles, you can read about the documents that will soon be released:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jfk-assassination-trump-to-allow-release-of-classified-documents/
http://time.com/4606082/jfk-assassination-secrets/
In the documents, it is revealed that the secret service agent who jumped onto the back of a moving car and shoved Jackie Kennedy to the floor of the car was Clint Hill. Jackie had been trying to retrieve a piece of her husband’s skull that had been blown off his head when he was shot.
Today when I saw TV shows about how Jackie was protected by a secret service man, I recalled the time when I interviewed Clint Hill when I was working as a recruiter for Management Recruiters. He came into my office with a resume when he was looking for a job after he had left the secret service. On his resume, his name was C.E. Hill and his job experience did not include his experience as a secret service man.
I can tell you that he was a very handsome man, but not at all conceited. He was a very nice person.
He started telling me about his experience since leaving the secret service two years ago. After a few minutes, I told him to cut the crap — I said I know who you are, and all potential employers will know who you are. I told him that he was world famous as the man who risked his own life to save the life of Jackie Kennedy.
A few weeks later, he called me to tell me that he had taken my advice and that he had told the truth about his experience. He had manged to get a good job working with the state of California.

Megyn Kelly is back in the news….
Let me say right off the bat that I love Megyn Kelly. She is very beautiful and very gutsy (if that is a word).
Her problem is that she is not highly educated and she makes many mistakes; she doesn’t know what every college graduate knows, and that makes her appear to be stupid.
Megyn is in the news now because of her recent interview with Tom Brokaw.
The following quote is from this news article: https://jezebel.com/confusing-and-a-little-jarring-what-tv-anchors-think-o-1819150675
Begin quote
When NBC announced the decision to give Kelly her own morning slot—despite poor ratings for her initial Sunday night series—a swath of viewers and fellow media members disapproved, especially since it meant she’d be replacing fan favorites Tamron Hall and Al Roker.
In her first week on air, Kelly managed to make headlines at least, leaving Jane Fonda dumbfounded by a plastic surgery question. In the second week, days after the deadliest mass shooting in the US., Kelly was criticized for appearing to cut off Tom Brokaw as he was critiquing the NRA.
Behind the scenes, the show’s producers seem to be struggling to figure out what a Megyn Kelly show should look like. While NBC remains patient by necessity, and as Kelly grows more comfortable in the role, ratings have reportedly been soft and slipping since the first week, hitting a “possible all-time low” for the Today Show brand, according to Page Six sources. Adjacently, publicists appear to be reluctant to feature their clients on the show—“I literally haven’t pitched anyone even from right out the gate. The buzz that is out there is so bad,” one publicist told Variety.
Many of the TV anchors and personalities I spoke to—who work for local stations or major network affiliates—agree that there’s a problem, much of which has to do with Kelly’s attempt to outrun her past life. Here’s what peers had to say about the Megyn Kelly Today format, its execution, pros, cons, and whether Megyn Kelly can survive in the morning.

That’s all she wrote — and she rubbed that out. (words from an old song)

Where are the Soprano actors now?
I have just finished watching the re-runs of the TV show entitled The Sopranos. I have watched this show many times since it ended several years ago.
In the last episode of the show, the Soprano daughter is shown as she tries to parallel park. I learned to park in order to pass the test for my driver’s license. I passed and was complimented on how well I parked. I never parked that way again for the rest of my life.
You can watch the video to learn what happened to the cast members when the show was over.
In the last episode of the show, an old house is shown for a brief second. It was not mentioned in the show that this old brown house is famous. I have often wondered where this house is located, and why it was shown in the show.

The new TV show entitled “Young Sheldon” is finally out, and it is a dud
The problem with this new TV show is that I had already seen it, bit by bit, in the ads that have played day and night for six months, before the show was finally shown on TV.
I think that the TV show was filmed over a period of time, maybe 6 months or so, and Young Sheldon does not appear to be the same age in all of the scenes of the show, which are purported to have been taken during the same time period.
In one of the scenes that were shown, before the TV show was released, Sheldon has two front teeth. In the TV show, there are no teeth in sight, except for one scene.
I would suggest, in the future, that an entire TV show should not be shown, bit by bit, before it is released months later.
I can relate to this show because, as a young girl, I was very advanced for my age. I had a brother who was 18 months older than I was. Because he was a bad little boy, my brother was kicked out of school when he was in the first grade.
My mother had to teach my brother at home, after he was kicked out of school, and I was allowed to listen in, so I had learned to read before I went to school. Then I was kicked out of school because I was too smart; my brother had been kicked out because he was too stupid.
I am now 84 and hopefully schools have changed now, so that children of different levels are taught in separate classrooms.

Megyn Kelly’s interview with Putin
Megyn Kelly is shown as she interviews Putin
You can read all about Megyn Kelly’s interview with Putin at http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/oliver-stone-megyn-kelly-stuff-putin-47896689
When I first heard that Megan Kelly was going to interview Putin, I thought that this was not a good idea. I love Megyn Kelly, but she is not an expert on anything. I was very dubious about her plan to interview Putin and as it turns out, I was right. She did not do well in the interview.
The following quote is from the news article:
Begin quote
Film director Oliver Stone, whose series of conversations with Vladimir Putin air next week on Showtime, said he watched Megyn Kelly interview the Russian president on NBC and concluded that “he knew his stuff and she didn’t.”
Kelly’s interview, which aired on the debut of her newsmagazine, “Sunday Night with Megan Kelly,” on Sunday, “became machine-gun like,” Stone said, and was an example of how American journalism frequently leaves little room for nuance.
“I think she was attractive and she asked hardball questions, but she wasn’t in position to debate or counter him, because she didn’t know a lot of things,” he said.
NBC News President Noah Oppenheim shot back that “no one here is interested in Oliver Stone’s unsolicited thoughts on Megyn Kelly’s appearance or his ill-informed opinion of her journalism.”
“But so long as we’re offering each other professional feedback, please let him know I don’t think he’s made a decent movie since the early ’90s,” he said.
Putin was combative when asked in the NBC interview about hacking in the U.S. presidential election and relations between Russia and President Donald Trump’s team. He’s more serene on Showtime, where more than a dozen interviews that Stone conducted with the Russian president between 2015 and early this year unfold one hour per night for four nights starting Monday.
End quote
Putin is noted for being a woman-hater. Megyn should have known that and she should have passed up the opportunity to interview him.
