To the ends of the ocean! The search for light 370 ends..

The private hunt for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 will end in the coming days, a search firm said Tuesday, about four years after the plane’s disappearance sparked one of the world’s greatest aviation mysteries.

The Malaysia Airlines jet vanished in March 2014 with 239 people — mostly from China — on board, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

No sign of the plane was found in a 46,000-square mile sea search zone and the Australian-led hunt, the largest in aviation history, was suspended in January last year.

Disney wanted no part in the controversy after this week’s SOLO disaster..

In the tweet, the ABC star of her self-titled show attacked Jarrett, connecting her to the Islamist organization Muslim Brotherhood and the movie Planet of the Apes.

“Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj,” Barr wrote, using Jarrett’s initials while replying to a tweet which accused Jarrett of helping to cover up alleged misdeeds for the Obama administration.

When users pointed out that the tweet seemed racist, Barr replied, “Muslims r NOT a race.”

Barr, an outspoken supporter of President Trump, later tweeted her first tweet was “a joke.”

And even going further, three networks are just about to pretend that Roseanne never existed.. that the annals of history of her program were just vague memories.. 1984’s WINSTON would be proud..

Roseanne revival scheduled to air on Viacom networks Paramount Network, TV Land and CMT will be pulled from their respective schedules.

Roseanne reruns will be canceled on the three channels starting Wednesday, a Viacom spokesperson said.

High degrees of synchronicity in Zombieland

Last night Clyde Lewis’ Ground Zero radio program detailed a table top exercise last week in Baltimore Maryland. In the ‘event’ a strange disease called para-fluenza struck, causing a worldwide fear of pandemic. The entire event was to force people to consider what would really happen in the face of some worldwide global disease catastrophe that struck the healthy, the aged, and the young alike.

And while Clyde spoke during his program, real news was developing in the world that may force people to ponder how much of an ‘exercise’ the exercise really was.
Disease X.. 
There is a recent outbreak in South India that have renewed interest in the Nipah virus—something discovered 20 years ago..
It spreads through bats and pigs to humans. It has been known to kill up to three-quarters of those infected..
About five days ago, news broke that at least 90 were in quarantine. Last night, officials confirmed that the casualties are mounting in the country. The death toll officially stands at 14 at this time. 
The Nipah disease is brain-eating. It is causing fear among the walking living in Southern India. And beyond.
The entire world has seemingly been on constant high alert about almost everything and anything over the past decade or so.. Real news looks more like fiction and fictitious disease exercises seem more like reality. 
We have been constantly warned with each new or old disease discovered or rediscovered that it could be the next novel strain of worldwide disease.
We collectively hope that will never be the case.
However those visiting cemeteries yesterday for Memorial Day may have been greeted with an inconvenient truth if looking at dates on headstones: 1918 was a busy year for funeral homes. The great flu then killed millions worldwide. One hundred years later, now, we wonder if the same will occur all over again..

Memorial Day news wrap: Monday May 28 2018

Disney and Lucasfilm’s “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” a prequel film about the origins of Han Solo, made an estimated $101 million domestically for its four-day weekend opening which includes the Monday holiday, according to Disney. That makes “Solo” the smallest opening for a “Star Wars” film since 2002…

RESET YOUR ROUTER!

The FBI issued an urgent warning to everyone who owns an internet router: Turn it off and turn it back on, and do it right away.

According to the New York Times, “a sophisticated malware system linked to Russia” has already infected thousands of routers. The malware is capable of blocking web traffic, collecting information that passes through home and office routers, and disabling your devices entirely.

The Russian hackers are using something called VPNFilter malware to target home and small office routers. Aside from restarting your router by turning it off and on, the FBI also advises using encryption, upgrading firmware, and changing your passwords.

The hacking has been attributed to Fancy Bear, the Russian group that hacked the DNC.

So now the FBI is making the urgent request: HELP FIGHT THE ATTACK AND RESET YOUR ROUTER TODAY..

S.O.L. SOLO: BOMBS AWAY ON MEMORIAL DAY!

71% rating on the reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the lowest score for a “Star Wars” film since “Attack of the Clones”..

The movie bombed this weekend, unable to muster up even the conservative numbers that studio executives had hoped for..

The movie took in $14.1 million at Thursday-night previews, a record for Memorial Day (beating “At World’s End,” which took in $13.2 million)

Disney had been predicting $115 million for the weekend. $101 mil later, the mouse is a bit red faced..

Yes, a strong movie for any other time. But not for STAR WARS. And maybe a bigger issue: Not for Memorial Day.

The weekend just ain’t what it used to be when it comes to the summer movie kickoff season..

Maybe a new pattern?

Last year, “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” opened over Memorial Day weekend and took in $78.4 million from Friday to Monday. That was just under its projections of $80 million to $85 million and the lowest opening for a “Pirates” movie since the first one, 2003’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” ($46.6 million).

Solo Disney final

It is often a mistake to watch the weekend box office results for any judgement of a movie. But this is business.
And Disney made an effort to ensure their business for decades would be endless forays into the STAR WARS universe.. Toy lines.. spinoffs… sequels. Prequels.
And already? We seem done with it.
The magic of ROGUE ONE was that it was STAR WARS related, contained the storyline and respected the past. The newest sequels in the series lack a magic, one that ROGUE ONE briefly tapped into. And SOLO? .. The movie has been opening to less than great reviews.
The toy lines are going unsold at stores. Where toys are actually still sold.. 
Kids? They moved on. The majority of audiences for the STAR WARS movies this century are people who also attended last century.
Disney’s biggest mistake may have been hubris. And now they are stuck with a movie from a galaxy too close to home..

Shocking images of Maryland: Epic flooding

Gov. Larry Hogan declared a state of emergency and went to the scene of the devastation Sunday night. He said in a tweet that he has directed the Maryland Emergency Management Agency to assist in helping the city recover.

A flood emergency was first issued in Ellicott City at 4:40 p.m. Two hours later, National Weather Service warned another inch-and-a-half of rain was expected to fall before 7 p.m.

“This is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC situation,” the National Weather Service tweeted.

Solo SOL

Disney and Lucasfilm’s Solo: A Star Wars Story is struggling in its debut at the Memorial Day box office, where it’s coming in well behind expectations with an estimated three-day debut of $83.3 million-plus and projected four-day debut of $101 million (numbers will be updated Monday morning). 


That’s even worse than forecasts earlier in the weekend.
