Dear Lord! I wrote" older," didn't check before I sent, I was so wound up all weekend. I meant people of my generation, boomers get their news from TV!! LOL

It has been an extremely difficult day. My children and grandchildren live in Minneapolis and I’m quite frankly terrified!

My heart goes out to all of you - from a fellow Minnesotan

Robin, I just thought of you and our conversation a few days ago when I saw this article. It's about celebrities who tip well and some who don't. I saw Billie Eilish as a no tipper, and I'm going to give her a pass if that is true, because she donated 11 million dollars through her Changemaker Program to support climate and food justice, a move that gained significant attention when she called out billionaires for not doing enough during an awards speech in late 2025. Thought you might enjoy this.

Camille, I just love you. Thank you so much for this. Loved reading about the super generous ones 50-100% tips. Could not love Daniel Day Lewis more than I do."Thank you darling" and a 50% tip. 💕💕💕

I despise Oprah. (Even in the 1990s she was friends with RFK Jr <insert vomit emoji my cheap kindle fire doesn't have. That cheap fuck Bezos> She is the BIGGEST phony ever. I respect her so much coming from a terrible childhood and working hard and becoming a media mogul and a self-made billionaire. I loved her when she first started but the richer she got the more horrorible the stories got. How poorly she treated her staff at her company Harpo, she unleashed Dr Phil and Dr Oz on us, and billed Kamala $1 million for appearing at the DNC. Disgusting. All her bullshit about empowering others. She"s a multi-billionaire sailing the seven seas with Gayle and her billionaire friends on their yachts. I don't begrudge them making money, but be generous and kind. These big tippers in these articles are like that all the time. They aren't doing it to impress or put on a show. It's just how they are. No one would know if it wasn't for articles like these. I'm sure many of them came from humble beginnings and lean times themselves.

I have no idea who Benson Boone is but $1000 tip! What a sweetheart. I don't get Billie Eilish, and I know you told me she donated $11 million somewhere, but one thing has nothing to do with another. "food justice". You're going out to eat, someone is serving you, working hard to earn a living and you can't leave them even $20 bucks? You know who also used to be so incredibly generous? Sandra Bullock. If there was something in a paper about a tragedy or something catastrophic or someone in need? She thought nothing of giving $1 million. Quietly. George Michael too. He deserved angel wings. Mostly everything he gave was anonymously. But another disgusting one to wait staff was "sweet, genial" fucking PHONY James Corden who had that late night show and used to do those great videos singing in the car with lots of celebrities like Adele. He and his wife treated a waitress so poorly at a restaurant for making a mistake on an order that they BANNED him. I don't think it was even over a tip, it was that he was abusive. Famous restaurant and famous owner. Uh uh. Over and out! Don't let the door slam you in the ass on the way out. It made the papers.

Now I'm going to be googling this all night 😂😂🙏❤

Camille Kelly's avatar

Oh, I'm glad you liked it, I thought of you instantly and then how our computers eavesdrop on our conversations!

I was very surprised about Oprah, I would have thought her generous. That million she says she charged for the TV crew, btw, would be the same as someone making 100k shelling out $38 bucks, so not very generous at all. Don't like James Corden, he seems very arrogant so no surprise there.

I keep hoping more celebrities will use their speaking power and money to help democracy, that's why I watch Kimmel's monologues daily, he talks about what Trump is doing every day. The lack of counter messaging really upsets me, there are things that only our side sees and while I don't have significant hopes of Republicans changing their tune, they at least need to know how gullible and stupid they are so if, big if, it affects them, they know just what they did and didn't do to right the world for their kids and grandkids.

Cheap wealthy people are disgusting. Helping others feels so much better than overstuffing yourself with more material things you don't need and makes a big difference to someone else. If the situations were reversed, how would they like struggling for bare necessities? Hope there's justice here, now or afterwards or maybe they get reincarnated like someone they screwed over, that would be sweet.

Anyway, thanks for your sweet comment and I'll certainly keep you in mind for future articles. Take care!

I tried to send you the link in the article highlighted in blue last night but I couldn't copy the entire link. about the other cheapies. Liz Taylor and Richard Burton. $1.00 😱

Billy Joel. I think the minimum 20% What a disappointment.

Elvis, the King. $5000.

And of course, as I told you, the winner...JLo😂 Naomi Campbell who was one of the models who wouldn't get out of bed for less than, $10,000 a day, probably because she was on her back half the time with the rich Russian Oligarch boyfriend and I think ran in Epstein's circle too.

My mother used to say "if they don't get it in this life, they will in the next" but since no one has ever reported back, I want to see it in the only life I think I'm getting...this one.

Yes Camille, I so enjoyed to talking to you. I haven't looked out my window since this morning with the snow...hang on...several inches...but nothing like the time years ago when I tried to cross my street to get to the deli on the other side and couldn't because it came up to my thighs. Stay safe and warm. You're here and so am I. We will talk again! 😘

Willow's avatar

Thanks for your reporting. I was absolutely disgusted that CNN aired Kristi Noem’s entire press conference where she fabricated the entire incident today. BTW — new subscriber here.

Susan Sage's avatar

Welcome. Glad you found MTN

Carol's avatar

Kristi Noem is a rehearsed liar and keeps spouting the same garbage every time ICE violates the law. She is brought out for justification purposes. But nobody is buying the lies except gullible MAGA. She, DT, Miller and all the many sycophants will go down in historical records as the worst traitors we have ever seen.

Nikki Ferreira's avatar

I was disgusted with Jake Tapper and the coverage he was giving. I can’t even stomach watching that network anymore. Video doesn’t lie and there are now many angles to show what truly happened.

Francesca Cee's avatar

Imagine the things they've done that didn't get captured on camera! I'm starting to think that we have death camps. We definitely have a gestapo. I'm terrified!

Rhys Finney's avatar

There’s virtually no oversight on detention centers. The few elected officials who managed to tour one of the places spoke of inhumane living conditions, maggots in the food, and little to no medical attention for detainees-the description fits my criteria for a concentration camp well enough-of course, out right brutality was concealed, but I have no doubt it is employed, considering what ICE is capable of on the streets, in public, in broad daylight.

Geri Cochran's avatar

I suspect some of those little kids that are in detention with their parent will be trafficked into sexual slavery. I believe it is a pretty good money maker: and that this occurred during the felon's first term as well, when he demanded children be separated from their parent. :( This country and magas do not protect children...they protect the offenders. :(

Calvan North's avatar

Central Minneapolis is one.

Sherry Murray's avatar

That’s not true. Tapper had McCabe on and they destroyed the regimes narrative. I’m no fan of cnn but they stepped up this time

SlapYourMomma's avatar

That's right Sherry. He and Erin Burnett went on for hours showing multiple videos and bringing in experts who disputed DHS

Nikki Ferreira's avatar

I’m glad to hear that.

This was very early following what happened. I’m all for accurate non biased new sources which definitely appear to be nonexistent but the left and right are so far apart it’s disgusting. On many occasions I’ve had to flip the channel due to their cow towing. The last 2 years have not been what I’ve come to expect and trust of them.

Jake tapper … flushed his reputation down a golden trump crapper.

David M. Carew's avatar

CALL YOUR SENATORS and REP NOW (leave a voicemail) and DEMAND that Trump be * Impeached * Convicted * Removed.

BellaB63's avatar

Mine have already filed suits and impeachment articles. And I can proudly say not one of our Oregon reps voted for that damned bill. Keep pushing, people.

Pam Z's avatar

I may have to move to Oregon. Beautiful country with it sounds like beautiful with Representatives that vote for the voices of their constituents.

Geri Cochran's avatar

Nice to know there are some elected folks that are honest and fighting. I've not had representation since Anne Richards left the governorship in Texas. The people running for office here, join their name with the felon, and, due to gerrymandering, they don't have to worry about a non-maga winning. I'm hoping they are wrong, but they probably are not. :( Too many magas living in rural areas that only listen to Fox.

I look at houses in OR and WA and dream of moving away from the red area and state that loves this regime. Since I'm old, I'll probably die here, as a 2nd class citizen. Everything I fought for in the last 50 years has been overturned or is in the process of being destroyed. Wish people had listened in '15 that he was a danger to us all. :(

SlapYourMomma's avatar

Sorry to here your situation in Texas.

Lily's avatar

Texas senators are NOT listening! They are hiding while they spend their super pac money and insider trading stock buys!!!

Geri Cochran's avatar

They haven't listened for decades. :( And, they no longer have to worry about being elected, due to the over-gerrymandered cheating. :(

KT's avatar

I called mine today- I’ve had enough of this!!

how about add Imprisoned???? I contact Cancun ted and do-nothing cornball in TX every week multiple times to no avail.

Sara Stewart's avatar

What about MS NOW? When watching them and CNN on a split screen, they certainly put CNN to shame.

Martha Kenne's avatar

MS NOW has been on the scene all day. Clearly not holding back.

Henry Kramer's avatar

I usually have MS Now on all day once the Kneebenders Joe and Mika are off of the air!

Martha Kenne's avatar

Yeah. They blew it when they kissed the "ring".

The Style Investigator's avatar

I was just saying that too...

Karen S Dubach's avatar

MSNOW and Medias Touch are the only sources I trust. I left CNN a long time ago. Now CBS. The sad thing is, MAGAS/repubs NEVER hear the truth from their news sources. Truth telling never happens. They are lies and lies and propaganda. Thankful there are a few sources out there to get the truth and correct information!!

Charline's avatar

I never watch mainstream news! It’s a waste of my time! If I want the truth, I know where to go!!!!!

wandag's avatar

Yes, I have given up on corporate news. Independent news is my first go to now for truth.

uRNangel423's avatar

I’m with you as well, I don’t watch mainstream news, MeidasTouch and the Substack providers are where I get the truth from!

Kathryn's avatar

Add Status coup to that list if not on it already

Camille Kelly's avatar

Wow, I must have extraordinary eye vision, because I saw 5 different videos from 2 different points of view, and I saw NO gun pulled, a man come to the assistance of a woman on the ground, him being tackled, pepper sprayed, beaten, his gun removed by a man in a gray coat and then shot.

Maybe I can get a job as a reporter since I seem to have some sort of acute vision and an uncanny ability to see through bullshit.

Automatically disqualifies you from any corporate media job. Or GOP position.

I am literally watching CNN right now and they are in no way questioning if Alex did anything wrong. You ALL need to stand together and work out a plan to continue to push on the Epstein files. Do NOT get divided. That is when Trump and Miller win.

Jan's avatar

And the most recent video they are showing clearly show an agent pull out his gun without pause and shoots him. No debate.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Not surprised but I’m deeply furious! It takes you back to the day of January 6, 2021 when CNN called the insurrectionists “Trump Supporters" and “Protesters!” They didn’t call them what they actually were! Fuck CNN! Fuck them ALL!

Linda's avatar

Seems FOX is getting a pass here since they have been behind Trump from the beginning…Only MAGA watches them and believe the lies…My Aunt lives in Mississippi and believes everything they say…CNN has been showing updated footage and the proof that this man was aggressively attacked and murdered…

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

CBS is the "new" Fox. The MAGAts will be glued to them soon enough! CNN is too late! I stopped watching them after Jan 6.

Linda's avatar

I don’t agree because even a member of Meidas, Adam Mokler was on CNN’s Abby Phillips which has a panel of Democrats and Republicans giving point of view about present day subjects…He was spectacular in his view against the comment from a Republican…You have your opinion and I have mine but I do go to Meidas for details…

Aurelia Navarro's avatar

I’m so sorry that I can’t support you financially right now - as soon as I can, I will!!

Sherrie Heckendorn's avatar

I was going to say same thing

Susan Reilly's avatar

I saw CNN parroting the regime spin at 6pm live! By that time it was damn clear that Alex wasn’t waving a gun at ice. So many videos going viral all afternoon clearly show what occurred which was basically an execution. I’m so disgusted I could spit nails.

Lily's avatar

So was ABC - Same fucking parrot! LOL

The Style Investigator's avatar

Yes - so disgusted with CNN lately. Anderson Cooper should be ashamed to still work for them. Only MSNOW has any balls at all with what's going on now.

BellaB63's avatar

Cooper is one of the most privileged people in this country. He doesn't care about anyone. He's a fraud too.

Quenby Morrow's avatar

Agree completely, our MSM is absolutely complicit

Have we lost all humanity? Have we not learned from history? This is Nazism repeating itself. God help us all!
