  • Singapore school sends in the clowns. Parents call the police

    Singapore school sends in the clowns. Parents call the police

    Isn’t the clown show one that belongs to 2016?

    APPARENTLY THE TIMELINE HAS BROKEN!

    This is what mainstream media is reporting in the Washington POST: Multiple clowns have been spotted loitering outside schools in Singapore – staring intently, approaching pupils and allegedly asking the young children to follow them. Their unnerving presence sparked a flurry of complaints from concerned parents who immediately called on the police to investigate.

    On social media, some shocked parents shared photos of one of the clowns and identified the school police were investigating as Speech Academy Asia – an organization dedicated to helping adults and children improve their public speaking skills.

    In one photo, a person disguised as a clown with heavy face makeup, a hat and a plaid shirt, was seen tilting their head and transfixing on those standing near a bus stop close to a school.

    The academy’s director, Kelvin Tan, told The Straits Times that the clowns were part of a marketing campaign to promote speech classes taking place at the center. “There was no evil intention behind the costumes,” Tan said.

  • The Drudge show hits IMPEACHMENT

    The Drudge show hits IMPEACHMENT

    It is great to see Matt Drudge showcase himself again on his own website..

    There is absolutely no doubt that the Drudge Report changed the world, started a media revolution.. and for better or worse paved the way for what we are dealing with today…

    Drudge showed the media that a glamor job on a network wasn’t what mattered..

    Just a modem and a web space. It all happened in the murky mid-90s when his gossip column reached 300,000 or so folks–a major achievement for that time! Even AOL had struggles Drudge never did.

    And that magic moment. The time he was given a lead that no one else would bite one: An intern sex scandal in the White House that would change history, journalism, and the basic fabric of our nation…

    And now Drudge is touting his presence in the Monica Lewinsky drama IMPEACHMENT..

    DRUDGE HIMSELF MARKED THE OCCASION WITH A SERIES OF NEWS LINKS AND A NOSTALGIC IMAGE OF HIMSELF ON HIS SITE, THE DRUDGE REPORT..

    Drudge linked a story by Adrienne Gafney with a headline “Memories How Drudge Changed it All” ..

    She wrote,

    Drudge, and his soon to be famous site Drudge Report, achieved the impossible in 1998 and stunned the world when he broke the news about President Clinton’s affair with an intern named Monica Lewinsky—a relationship that’s at the center of the new series, airing now on FX.

    There is a lot more about his influence, his role … all of it.

    When the HORROR REPORT first began back in the early days if the 21st century, we homaged Drudge by stealing his look and design.

    Some have dismissed his site and his role in history. Other realized immediately then and still today how much of a role has had in just about every historical event since the mid 1990s….

  • THE LAND OF OZ HAS STRANGE SHAKING GOING ON

    THE LAND OF OZ HAS STRANGE SHAKING GOING ON

    Right now Australia is embroiled in political protests over COVID lockdowns (the government there is actually barring media outlets from filming the crowd from helicopters!)

    The governmenwt has suspended all construction for 2 weeks.. that will cause some issues now that more than a few places have been dealt damage from really puzzling earthquakes that just should seem to be occurring where they are…

    An unusually strong earthquake struck in an unusual portion of Australia (9:15 am September 21, local time), puzzling experts with its intensity and location.

    Registering a magnitude 6.0, the earthquake outside of Melbourne is the largest onshore earthquake in Victoria in recorded history.

    There have been numerous aftershocks, including a a 4.7 that occurred about 15 minutes after the main shock. Melbourne is the second largest city in Australia, with a population of roughly 5 million people.

    According to press reports, scientists are working to understand why today’s earthquake was as strong as it was and why it struck where it did.

  • Earth has yet another phew moment

    Earth has yet another phew moment

    Named 2021 SG, an asteroid flew close to the planet on September 16, but because it came from the direction of the Sun, scientists didn’t see it coming…

    Think about that.. Where were you on September 16 when you had no idea this was occurring?

    According to the NASA-backed International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center, the asteroid has a diameter of anywhere between 42-94 meters, with an average diameter of 68 meters.

    This size is around the wingspan of a 747, and is also around the height of the Cinderella Castle in Disney World and around half the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza. 

    Because of the way the asteroid arrived, it was not noticed until it passed by the next day…

    Another close call… that no one would have seen coming.
