WHERE IS MELANIA? / OMG Adventure

Part 2 of our OMG Adventure follows the further travails of Donald Trump. Someone came up with having his sycophants and potential Veep candidates show up at his trial.  Yesterday, two U.S. senators and a rep, plus.  Today, Speaker Mike Johnson and Vivek Ramaswamy.  Son Eric has been there, and so has his wife, Republican National Committee co-Chair Lara Trump. But no other close family has come. The biggest missing piece is Melania Trump.  All  reports show that she won't show .  Too  bad, for jurors are human, and her daily presence, holding his hands coming and going, can make that crucial difference.  Perhaps she can be enticed to show up at the end for some reward.  After all,  their marriage has become a business arrangement . Oh, in case you missed it,  Michael Cohen again was on the stand today , with Todd Blanche of the defense attempting to poke holes in his story.  He seems always to be at Trump's side outside of court. No action scheduled for Wednesday.  Final grill

With such high ratings by Rotten Tomatoes, I'm somewhat shocked that I just did not enjoy Ma Rainey's Black Bottom .  The acting was superb.  But the whole movie was one-dimensional in many ways.   Viola Davis was commanding as Ma, the female
