“I’d say the right comparison is Kate’s first year, not this year. ” – Heck, they may as well compare to the total of all Kate’s 7 years. The end result might be either “almost the same” or even “slightly over”. Just a fast google search, all numbers are from tabs articls in thousands £
I think May2011-Dec2011 was about 55K, but can’t find an article.
What we have so far ca. 500K. The missing 2 years and a half could be max 200K. Her totals for 7 years will be ca. 700K.
I’m afraid MM has already spent that. And wait till the end of the year.
Thanks for sending this in. I can’t find those years either. Funny because I could have sworn that they did this every single year. BTW, Kate’s entire Australia tour was 55k and I think they were counting repeats.
Well, Scotland isn’t Ireland by any stretch of the imagination. I don’t care how Celtic it may be. It’s a different country. They were also the only UK designer she wore, no?
The tour is over, but they may do a photo at the airport saying goodbye. I’m kind of shocked that there wasn’t even one Irish designer. I thought that was a given and the tabs and People were making lists of designers that she may choose.
Of course Kavanaugh is going to overrule Roe v. Wade. They’ve got four votes already who are willing to uphold a Texas law that was just a sham law intended to shut down abortion clinics. Kavanaugh is going to be the fifth. He has criticized Roe v. Wade. He said that it was a freewheeling decision. He wrote an opinion just last year that took a very aggressive posture, said that the Trump administration could literally imprison women to delay their ability to have an abortion… There’s two Republican senators—Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski—who claim to be pro-choice. And at the very least, they want to have deniability if they vote for Kavanaugh. But there’s no deniability here. This guy is the fifth vote to overrule Roe v. Wade, period.

“I’m delighted to be writing such an iconic character as Wonder Woman and to be working with DC once again,” Wilson said in a statement. “With more than 75 years of history, Wonder Woman has a wealth of backstory and drama to draw from, and I look forward to putting a spin on Diana and her supporting cast that’s both new, yet familiar. It’ll be a challenge to do her justice, but I like a challenge and can’t wait to get started.”
According to a tweet, she will be taking over in December with art by
They are not supposed to do press releases or social media announcements. They are not supposed to use the royal family for press. They are doing it anyway.
Pt 2 She is now emphasizing her breasts (padded bra for sure) tight around the torso. Sex pot Meghan. Stuff she is now wearing suits her shape much better. But can she sustain this – she needs to give them a lot of press to justify the costs. And her inability to walk is still a problem. Harry is conspicuously looking at her feet all the time fear of her falling out of the shoes. Express even had an article about her inability to walk. She needs to get shoes she can walk in.
I prefer a padded bra to seeing her nipples when she’s braless. Small mercies.
But this Roland Mouret dress doesn’t exactly look like it fits on top. It’s not smooth on top, kind of wrinkled. Looks like it needs to be pulled down or adjusted in some places. The color on her doesn’t help either. Kind of a washout.
And this suit looks pretty basic on her. I don’t understand how Givenchy justifies giving her this. It doesn’t look like a couture house suit with that scoop neck, at least to me.
Why the pumps on an athletic field? I will never understand this.
It is unclear why human breast milk stands out among that of other mammals. It has five times as many types of H.M.O.s as cow’s milk, and several hundred times the quantity. Even chimp milk is impoverished compared with ours.
What are you, like, twelve years old or something? Is this the best you can come up with in an attempt to insult me? That I’m just angry because I’m not fucking Harry?
Bitch, please. I’m so not interested Harry’s whiny, insecure, public relations-needing ass.
I assume you suddenly have the confidence to go around to blogs that don’t like Megs based on the simple fact that she was able to get someone to brush her hair, do her makeup, and put clothes on her that fit, other than the more recent fashion disasters she’s been wearing.
Obviously you didn’t want to come here when Megs was wearing this:
Please, go ahead and celebrate your minor victory.
The remaining adults can still discuss the impending disaster ahead.
As the political season heats up,
Trump is ramping up his lies through his three amplifiers: Fox News, rallies,
and Twitter.
According to The Fact
Checker’s database, the average daily rate of Trump’s false or misleading claims is climbing.
The problem isn’t just the number
or flagrancy of the lies – for example, that Putin and the Russians didn’t intervene
in the 2016 election on behalf of Trump, or that the Mueller investigation is
part of a Democratic plot to remove him.
And it’s not just that the lies
are about big, important public issues – for example, that immigrants commit
more crimes than native-born Americans, or trade wars are harmless.
The biggest problem is the lies aren’t subject to the filters traditionally applied to presidential
statements – a skeptical press, experts who debunk falsehoods, and respected
politicians who publicly disagree.
The word “media” comes from the
term “intermediate” – that is, to come between someone who makes the news and
the public who receives it.
But Trump doesn’t hold press
conferences. He doesn’t meet in public with anyone who disagrees with him. He denigrates the mainstream press. And he shuns experts.
Instead, his lies go out to tens
of millions of Americans every day unmediated.
TV and radio networks simply rebroadcast his rallies, or portions of them.
At his most recent rally in Great
Falls, Montana, Trump made 98 factual statements.
According to the Washington Post’s fact checkers, 76 percent of them were
false, misleading or unsupported by evidence.
For example, Trump claimed
that “winning the Electoral College is very tough for a
Republican, much tougher than the so-called ‘popular vote,’ where people vote
four times, you know.”
Meanwhile, over 50 million
Americans receive his daily tweets, which are also brimming with lies.
Recently, for example, Trump tweeted that Democrats were responsible for his administration’s policy
of separating migrant families at the border (they weren’t), and that “crime in
Germany is way up” because of migration (in fact, it’s down).
Around 6 million Americans
watch Fox News each day and relate what they see and hear to their friends and
relations.
Fox News is no longer
intermediating between the public and Trump. Fox News is Trump. Trump takes many of his lies from Fox News, and Fox News amplifies Trump’s lies.
Fox News’s Sean Hannity is one of
Trump’s de facto top advisers. Trump has
just appointed Bill Shine, the former number two at Fox News, as his deputy
chief of staff for communications.
No democracy can function under
a continuous bombardment of unmediated lies.
So what are we to do, other than
vote November 6 to constrain Trump?
First, boycott Fox News’s major
sponsors, listed here. Vote with your wallet and starve the
beast. Get others to join you.
Second, attend Trump’s rallies,
as distasteful as this may be. You’re entitled to attend. He is, after all, the
president of the entire country.
Organize and mobilize large
groups to attend with you. Once there, let your views about his lies be heard
and seen by the press. You can find out when and where his rallies will occur here.
Third, sign up for his tweets, and
respond to his lies with the simple: “b.s.” You can sign up here.
Fourth, write to Twitter and tell its executives to stop enabling Trump’s lies. Its contact information is here.
In addition, as the Times’ Farhad Manjoo suggested recently, Twitter’s employees should be encouraged to
make a ruckus – as did Amazon workers who pushed the firm to stop selling
facial recognition services to law enforcement agencies, and Google employees
who pressured Google not to renew a Pentagon contract for artificial
intelligence.
Twitter defines its mission as
providing a “healthy public conversation.” Let them know that demagoguery isn’t
healthy.
Your vote on November 6 is the key,
of course.
But as the political season heats
up, Trump’s lies are heating up, too. And they will sway unwary voters.
So you need to be active now, before
Election Day – on behalf of the truth.
By some accounts, nearly half of America’s incarcerated population is mentally ill — and journalist Alisa Roth argues that most aren’t getting the treatment they need.
Roth has visited jails in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Atlanta and a rural women’s prison in Oklahoma to assess the condition of mentally ill prisoners. She says correctional officers are on the “front lines” of mental health treatment — despite the fact that they lack clinical training.
“Most of [the correctional officers] will talk about how this is not what they signed up,” Roth says. “Most of them have not had much training in dealing with mental illness — or they’ve had none at all.”
Roth witnessed high-risk prisoners in solitary confinement or chained up or wearing restrictive jumpsuits — which tended to exacerbate the prisoners’ distress.
Therapy, when available, was often conducted under stressful conditions. Roth describes one session in the Los Angeles County jail that took place through the slots of a cell door — forcing the prisoner and therapist to yell to be heard.
“The entire [jail] tier can hear everything that you’re saying,” Roth says. “Especially in a place where showing any weakness can be really dangerous … people are particularly unlikely to disclose anything personal or her that would make them vulnerable.”
Roth chronicles her findings in the book, Insane: America’s Criminal Treatment of Mental Illness.
You can never tell who your enemies are, or who to trust. Maybe that’s why I love animals so much. You look in their eyes, and you know exactly what’s in their hearts. They’re not like people.
