A dude walks into a sorority…

I know the title of this post sounds like the beginning of a joke. Actually, you might laugh (or cringe) about what happened recently at the University of Alabama. There IS a guy. There IS a sorority. But it’s not a joke. This guy roll tided his way into rush week trying to become the first sister with a ding dong. His name is Grant and his TikTok updates, and the story in general, are like the joke and punchline all rolled into one neat little package (pardon the pun).

If Saturday Night Live doesn’t (or have they already?) turn this into a sketch, that’d be a shame. But in Grant’s defense he seems like a nice person AND he does his own make-up. When every sorority said no, his mascara didn’t run. Kudos dude-o. Neither did he bash them or go on some sort of tirade about trans rights or, wait… is he even trans? I mean, he still goes by his guy name. It’s all a little confusing and as much as I don’t like the University of Alabama (where he she they Grant attends), the sororities made a good call on this one. I’m sure they came up with a politically correct reason to say (oh, hell no) but deep down in your spirit, in my spirit, in every woman’s spirit, and in Grant’s spirit, we all know it’s BECAUSE HE’S A GUUUYYYYYY.

It’s a crazy, warped world we live in when a guy, and not just to be funny, tries to join a sorority. But what do we expect, honestly, when the “truth” has been redefined as “whatever you think it is.” Everyone’s got their own truth so of course a guy’s going to dress up in a Lululemon skirt and participate in sorority rush week. And of course the in-store display from OREO is going to have gay stuff plastered all over it. I was in Walmart the other day and did a double take when I saw the end cap thing full of OREO cookie packages with phrases about “being an ally.” Must’ve been leftover from gay pride week, I guess? But yeah, when I’m buying snacks, I definitely care about where the snack company stands on marriage equality. OREO has a gay commercial, too, and it’s a doozy. It’s a little less nauseating than “Grant the almost sorority guy,” but still seems like the punchline to a joke no one’s asked yet.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 Commercial – The Music

Samsung is “unfolding” a new series of commercials featuring the Z Flip4 flip phone (I still think about my old Motorola Startac phone, btw!). I don’t really want a flip phone, especially one that has a full sized screen that folds in half, but evidently the people are demanding it, so Samsung is answering the call. Here’s one of their ads promoting the phone and gear that connects to it…

There’s the phone, the watch, and the ear buds, all connected to the Flip4 phone. Oh, there’s music, too! The song used for this ad is “Better and Better” by Danger Twins.

You can find out more about the band on their website and listen to their music on YouTube here.

Alec Baldwin, the Democrats best friend or a liar? 

Alec Baldwin’s life (and possibly his career) will never be the same after that tragic death of a crew member on set of a film in which he was star and producer. Alec was holding a prop gun that fired and killed the cinematographer. Although the FBI has concluded that the trigger was pulled, Alec claimed that he never pulled the trigger. With no disrespect to the woman who died, I have a question. 

Why hasn’t the liberal left jumped on this? I mean, Dems (not all, but most) are quick to blame guns when a school shooting happens, so wouldn’t they be pleased as punch that Alec’s case is this the first where the gun actually pulled its own trigger? They should be having a field day blasting gun manufacturers while no one on the conservative right can say “guns don’t shoot themselves!” Well, partner, yes they do! At least, according to Alec Baldwin. 

Or could it be true that the FBI’s findings (which any logical person could’ve determined) are accurate? I’ve actually never heard of a gun going off by its own free will. Well, except I have an irrational fear (because of movies, I guess) that when a gun is dropped it’s probably definitely gonna go off. I was also in a car accident at the age of 13 and I desperately and hastily got out because I was sure the car was going to blow up. Thanks a lot Hollywood movies! 

But back to Mr. Baldwin’s gun. If it went off on it’s own, that’s either a terrible job by the prop master / firearms expert or the best weapon, pardon the reference, a Democrat can use in their fight for gun control. 

What do you think? Is Alec just trying to cover his own butt for the possible court case where he has to defend himself against a manslaughter charge? Or did the gun go off without the trigger being pulled? Chime in below.

Because of drug use, can Anne Heche’s organs still be donated?

Among all the questions from Anne Heche’s car crash last week (like is there a conspiracy? and did she try to get off the stretcher?) was one regarding her designation as an organ donor. First of all, signing up to donate your organs is a great and thoughtful thing for someone to think about in the event of his or her death.

“How can I do some good in the world even when I’m not here?”

“Can someone benefit from the body I leave behind?”

These are unselfish questions so we should all remember that about Ms. Heche. She made sure that one of her last wishes was to help others. Moving right along, the question that arose for me is this: Can someone who is apparently on drugs still donate their organs?

Well, the simple answer is yes. If doctors weren’t able to use her organs then she wouldn’t have been kept on life support for the handful of days after she was declared brain dead. As for which organs, that’s something I don’t know specifically but in a few articles (for example here and here), it’s stated that organs from a person who died of an overdose (or they had an addiction) were just about as functional in the recipient as organs from someone who passed away in a different way (head injury, etc).

So apparently the cocaine that was reportedly in Anne’s system didn’t disqualify her from being a donor. Had she suffered from something like cancer or HIV, though, she couldn’t be a donor. Well, that just about clears it up for me! I read that the doctors found recipients for the various organs from Anne. This kind of raises up another question to ponder. If you were in need of an organ, how bad would it have to be for you to get over the fact that the organ you’re getting is from someone who had a drug addiction? It doesn’t seem to make a difference, but I think it would be something I wrestled with if I were in that situation.

Anne Heche… is there more to the car crash story?

The details of Anne Heche’s final days have been unfolding daily, and if you’re like me, you might have some questions. For instance, why did she frantically sit up on the stretcher? Was she recently working on a human trafficking documentary? Is there a conspiracy going on? I’ve asked these same questions and come up with answers for each. Let’s start with the stretcher question first…

Why did she break out of a body bag on the stretcher?

First, check out the video of this bizarre moment and my initial reaction to it here. Everything I’ve seen and read so far is that with a serious accident (car crash, brain injury, burns, etc) the body can do some funky things. It’s about adrenaline, perhaps an extreme fight or flight reaction. She had such severe injuries that what was happening seemed almost involuntary… just a biological and natural response to a traumatic event. I also read that with the type of head injury and smoke inhalation she suffered, it would take hours or days for the symptoms to show up. In her case, brain swelling and a coma that set in hours after the accident. So she very well could have been somewhat coherent (relatively speaking) for a short time after the car accident. Also, comments have pointed out that she wasn’t in a body bag, but more likely covered in a type of burn blanket. That is consistent with reports about her suffering burns from the car and house catching on fire.

Folks have asked why the firefighters were so quick to shove her into the ambulance, and were they acting suspiciously?

My best guess is that the first responders have dealt with people that are “out of their mind” after such a catastrophic event and weren’t surprised nor deterred in carrying out their jobs as firefighters/EMS. They probably knew the best care she’d get would be in the ambulance and at a hospital so their top priority was to get the person to the hospital as quickly as possibly, no matter how the person was reacting or behaving. After all, if this ISN’T a conspiracy, I doubt they’d even know the person they were rescuing was famous, much less who the famous person was in the moment.

So is it a conspiracy? Was more going on that we don’t know about? My answer to this addresses her involvement in a human trafficking documentary and related conspiracies. The truth is this: Yes, she was working on a story about human trafficking (a movie, not a documentary) set to premiere on Lifetime later in 2022. According to this article, they’re done shooting and the movie has a green light to move forward as planned in spite of Anne passing away. Her involvement in the movie and the public’s heightened concern about sex trafficking (because of the Jeffery Epstein case, most likely) has people wondering if her death might have been part of something bigger related to human/sex trafficking. I’m just a blog writer so I honestly have no idea except to say that I hope the well-known phrase proves true… “the truth always comes out.” So was she being chased? Is that why she was driving so fast through the neighborhood? I think we’ll know more as time passes. But based on the Ring doorbell video clip, I don’t think she was being chased. Otherwise there would have been a second car showing up in the video after she zoomed by… right? 

My conclusion is based on a glass half full mindset: It was a tragic accident that took the life of a woman who had a tough life, but made the best of it in the best way she knew how. Maybe I’m just naive, but I don’t suspect foul play or that conspiracies will bring to light any other truth besides her being caught up in unhealthy things and for a brief moment those things got the best of her and brought her life to an untimely end.

Please share your thoughts below. What do you think happened and are we being told everything about this story?
