Age @ The Moment
Brad Pitt's Return to Alcohol
BP's return to alcohol comes despite a career resurgence which included an Oscar for Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood and a Best Picture nomination for F1: The Movie.
A source claimed: "Brad also decided to start drinking after he got an all-clear with his health – that's why he has been joking about having the clearest urinary tract in LA after his period of sobriety."
PG predicts this will not end well.

Brad Pitt's Problems
Brad Pitt continues to deal with ongoing legal battles and personal scrutiny stemming from his contentious split from Angelina Jolie and related business disputes.The Château Miraval Winery LawsuitThe Dispute: Pitt and Jolie have been locked in a multi-million dollar legal war over the French winery Château Miraval they once co-owned.
Pitt sued Jolie after she sold her stake to a third-party investment firm, claiming it breached an agreement requiring mutual consent.Recent Filings: Pitt's legal team has pushed to compel financial records and depositions, while Jolie's team has countersued, alleging a pattern of controlling behavior and citing past abuse allegations. A civil trial for the case is anticipated to head to court in early 2027.Other Legal Issues: Pitt also faced an unrelated trademark infringement lawsuit regarding his skincare brand, Beau Domaine.Family and Personal StrugglesDivorce and Estrangement: Although their formal divorce settlement was reached in late 2024, the fallout heavily impacted his relationship with his children, several of whom legally dropped the surname Pitt.Mental Health and Sobriety: In public interviews, Pitt opened up about past mental health struggles, including a period of severe depression and suicidal ideation during the peak of the custody and divorce proceedings, alongside ongoing navigation of his sobriety.
Jew NN
Does anyone else think it is time to call CNN (Cable News Network) what it is i.e. The Jewish News Network? I personally am sick and tired of John Berman, Kate Baldwin and Harry Enten cackling on Cable TV every morning. Anyone else sick of these giggling, chuckling, squealing Jews on live American TV?
The Germans talked about their natural "Instinctive aversion to Jews". I also have it in spades...

Me & Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt recently commented on his age and living his 50's over again. The difference between Brad's birthday and mine is as follow;
BP was born December 18, 1963 and PG born February 11, 1972. This is 8 years, 1 month, and 24 days (or 8.15 years if expressed as a decimal) differrence. The breakdown of the duration;
Total Years: 8 years (Dec 18, 1963 to Dec 18, 1971). In total, this equals 2,977 days between the two dates. I wonder what Brad would give to have 8 years back?

Hunter Has "Died" After Being "Killed" By Buffalo Says PEOPLE Mag (lol)
Hilarious ... the story story says the American Hunter was stalking the BUffalo and was killed in a sudden "unproked attack". I guess stalking a majestic wild endangered species of an animal armed with a high-powered scoped rifle in camflage accompanied by 2 Guides with the intention to kill it does not qualify as "provoking" the poor innocent bufflalo... lol
RIP Ahole!!!

Texas Rancher Asher Watkins, 52 Gored to Death By Buffalo
Hilarious!
An American big game hunter is dead after a buffalo he was stalking in South Africa turned on him, delivering a fatal blow. Texas ranch trader Asher Watkins, 52, was on a guided hunting safari on Aug. 3 in South Africa’s Limpopo province and had his sights set on a 1.3-ton Cape buffalo.
However, the hunter became the prey when the massive animal ambushed him, executing a deadly charge.
“Asher was fatally injured in a sudden and unprovoked attack by an unwounded buffalo,” Hans Vermaak wrote in a statement on CV Safaris’ website. “He was tracking it together with one of our professional hunters and one of our trackers,” Vermaak continued. “We are doing everything we can to support the family members who are here with us and those back in the United States as they navigate this tragic loss.”

Pitt Relationship With Kids
While Brad Pitt is considered one of Hollywood's most talented stars, his family life has been marred by court battles, assault allegations and several of his children dropping his last name. For years, Pitt and Angelina Jolie—who met in 2004 on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith—were considered the "it couple" of Hollywood, and during their 12-year relationship, they spent time building a large family together. The former couple share three adopted and three biological children: Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax and twins Knox and Vivienne.
However, in 2016 the couple split after Jolie claimed in court documents that Pitt "choked one of the children and struck another in the face" during a flight the family took that year from France to Los Angeles. Jolie further alleged that Pitt "grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her." After an FBI investigation into the alleged incidents, Pitt—who has denied all allegations—was not arrested or charged.
In September of that year, they underwent a custody battle, which initially granted Jolie sole custody of their brood, while Pitt received only visitation rights. In May 2021, Pitt was given shared custody, but the ruling was subsequently overturned. While Pitt's children don't often speak about him publicly, what they have said about him indicates the relationship is strained. Here, Newsweek has detailed what his children have said and done in relation to their father over the years.
An Angry Social Media Post
In 2023, the Daily Mail resurfaced an Instagram story that Pax wrote in 2020 about his father. Jolie adopted Pax from Vietnam in 2007 and Pitt adopted him in 2008. Pax posted a photo of Pitt being awarded an Oscar for his role in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood to his private Instagram account—and he didn't hold back when he added his thoughts. "Happy Father's Day to this world class a******!! You time and time and again prove yourself to be a terrible and despicable person," he wrote.
"You have no consideration or empathy toward your four youngest children who tremble in fear when in your presence. You will never understand the damage you have done to my family because you are incapable of doing so. "You have made the lives of those closest to me a constant hell. You may tell yourself and the world whatever you want, but the truth will come to light someday. So, Happy Father's Day, you f****** awful human being!!!"
Distant Relationship
In 2019, In Touch Weekly reported that Maddox publicly spoke about his distant relationship with Pitt. When a reporter asked him whether the Fight Club actor planned to visit him at Yonsei University, South Korea, where he had recently enrolled, Maddox replied: "I don't know about that [or] what's happening." Maddox was also asked whether his relationship with Pitt was over. "Well, whatever happens, happens," he said. Jolie became a mom for the first time when she adopted Maddox from an orphanage in Cambodia in 2002, with Pitt officially adopting him in 2006.
Removing His Last Name
After turning 18 on May 27, Shiloh celebrated by requesting a legal name change.
In August, she officially removed the "Pitt" from her name after her request was approved by a judge in the Superior Court of Los Angeles, according to court documents obtained by Page Six. Her name was officially changed from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie. She isn't the only Jolie-Pitt child to drop Pitt from their surname. While the changes haven't been made legally, Vivienne and Zahara have done the same thing. Vivienne, who was credited as a producer on her mother's Broadway production, The Outsiders, was listed as Vivienne Jolie on the playbill.
In 2023, Zahara became a member of the sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha at Spelman College, which is the first historically Black sorority. As Zahara introduced herself during her induction ceremony, she notably skipped mentioning her famous dad's last name. As her sorority sisters stood in formation, she said: "My name is Zahara Marley Jolie! Coming all the way from the Golden State in the city that is full of angels, Los Angeles, California." Jolie adopted Zahara from Ethiopia in 2005 and Pitt adopted her the following year.

Sweden Finally Sick & Tired of Immigrants
Sweden's election could mark major milestone for Europe's populist right
By Inaya Folarin Iman
September 11, 2026 / 10:55 AM EDT / CBS News
It's about time and long overdue as when I lived there in 99-2000 it seemed like every 2nd person was from Turkey, Iran or some other Middle Eastern shithole. My 70 year old landlord in Danderyd, Carlin Hansen said in Fall '99 that "We Swedes need "these people" to do the jobs Swedes won't do..." That sentiment sure has bit the Swedish in their asses;
Sweden heads to the polls on Sunday in an election that could mark a watershed moment for the northern European nation and NATO's newest member. Across Europe, right-wing populist parties have gained ground in recent years amid growing voter backlash over immigration, and Sweden has been no exception. The election pits Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's center-right coalition against a center-left bloc led by former Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson's Social Democrats. But hanging over the race is the prospect of Sweden's right-wing populist Sweden Democrats entering government for the first time.
The party, which traces its roots to Sweden's extreme-right fringe, has spent the past two decades moving steadily toward the center of political power. It first entered parliament in 2010. By 2022, it became the country's second-largest party and agreed to support Kristersson's minority government from outside the cabinet. The arrangement gave the party substantial influence over immigration, crime and other policies without formal responsibility for government departments. But now Kristersson wants to govern as a majority government and has gone one step further, saying the Sweden Democrats would receive ministerial posts if the right wins another term.
This has transformed the election into a test of the Sweden Democrats' long political normalization and whether Swedish voters are prepared to see a party once shunned by almost the entire political establishment now exercise executive power. "There has been a shift of focus, which has gone from the true political challenges to who is going to sit in the government," Andreas Önnerfors, a professor of intellectual history at Linnaeus University, told CBS News. The polls are currently on a knife-edge, with an Indikator Opinion poll conducted Sept. 2–10 putting the center-left coalition on 50.8%, against 47.6% for the right coalition.
From fringe to mainstream
For years, Sweden's established parties maintained what amounted to a political firewall around the Sweden Democrats because of the party's extremist roots. As recently as 2018, Kristersson assured Holocaust survivor Hédi Fried that he would not cooperate with the party, according to Reuters. The Sweden Democrats themselves acknowledge that figures involved in their early history had connections to neo-Nazi and white supremacist movements.
But under Jimmie Åkesson, who has led the party since 2005, the Sweden Democrats have sought to expel extremists, moderate their image and present themselves as a mainstream right-wing party, with policies including deporting people who are in the country illegally, toughening citizenship laws, requiring strict assimilation of newcomers and restricting social security to citizens.
Part of the party's success has come from combining positions traditionally associated with the political right with policies aimed at working-class voters. "They have merged typical right-wing positions with typical Labour or Social Democratic positions — social security and benefits and things like that. That makes sense among ordinary people," Önnerfors said.
Immigration and crime as key voter concerns
The Sweden Democrats helped make tougher immigration and crime policies central to Swedish politics. Still, their durability is also rooted in profound changes in Swedish society and voters' perceptions. "Swedish politics has clearly moved in a more restrictive direction on issues such as immigration and crime," Professor Niklas Bolin, a political scientist at Mid Sweden University, told CBS News. "Importantly, this shift is not limited to the parties on the right. The Social Democrats, Sweden's largest party, have also moved in this direction."
Sweden received around 163,000 asylum applications during the 2015 European migration crisis; with a population just shy of 11 million, it was among the highest per-capita rates in Europe. In subsequent years, integration, segregation and a surge in gang shootings and bombings became major national political issues. The country's approach to immigration has since changed dramatically.
The Swedish government says asylum immigration has fallen to its lowest level since 1985.
Government policies on crime have also led gang violence to recede. Police figures show shootings falling from 391 in 2022 to 158 in 2025, with the decline continuing this year. But the political consequences of the violence and the wider debate over immigration and integration have endured.
"The Sweden Democrats have built a stable electoral base," Bolin said.
"Immigration and dissatisfaction with integration remain important explanations, but their support is also linked to concerns about crime and a broader dissatisfaction with established parties."
Their support, he added, is "particularly strong among men, working-class voters and voters outside the larger cities." For a country that for generations has prided itself on low crime, a generous welfare state and liberal attitudes toward immigration, equality and individual rights, Sunday's election marks an important moment — testing how far Sweden's politics have shifted, and whether a party once kept at the margins is now ready to enter the heart of government.
911 Birthday - 54.7 (Time Flies ...No Pun Intended)
Wow, it's the 25th Annivaersay of 911!!! I was flying from Longan Airport in Boston USA to Helsinki, Finland when 2 planes were hijacked from Logan Intrenational Airport:
The 2 planes involved in the September 11 terrorist attacks which were hijacked from Boston Logan International Airport USA were; 1. American Airlines Flight 11 and 2. United Airlines Flight 175:
1. American Airlines Flight 11
American Airlines Flight 11: Departed Boston at 7:59 AM bound for Los Angeles. Hijackers took control shortly after takeoff and crashed the Boeing 767 into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 AM.
American Airlines Flight 11 was a scheduled domestic transcontinental passenger flight from Boston (Logan International Airport) to Los Angeles (International Airport). It was hijacked by Mohamed Atta and four other al-Qaeda hijackers, one of four aircraft hijacked as part of the September 11 attacks. Atta deliberately flew the aircraft into the North Tower of the World Trade Center complex in New York City, killing all 92 people aboard, including the five hijackers.
The impact destroyed all escape routes from the floors above the impact zone, trapping more than 1,300 occupants on floors 92–110, none of whom survived. People below the impact zone were also killed as a result of the attack. The hijacking and crash of Flight 11 resulted in the greatest number of fatalities of the four hijacked flights, both aboard the aircraft and on the ground, and is the deadliest aviation incident in history. The aircraft involved was a Boeing 767 operating American Airlines' daily scheduled morning transcontinental service from Boston Logan International Airport in Massachusetts to Los Angeles International Airport in California.
The airplane left the runway at 07:59. Less than fifteen minutes after takeoff, the hijackers injured two flight attendants, murdered one passenger, and breached the cockpit while forcing the passengers and crew to the rear of the aircraft. The assailants attacked both pilots, allowing lead hijacker Mohamed Atta to take over the controls. Air traffic controllers suspected that the flight was in distress because the crew became non-responsive.
They realized the plane had been hijacked when Atta's announcement to the hostages was accidentally transmitted to air traffic control instead of through the aircraft's PA system. Also, two flight attendants were able to contact American Airlines and pass along information relevant to the situation, including casualties suffered by the crew and passengers. Atta flew the hijacked plane into the North Tower of the World Trade Center from floors 93 through 99 at 08:46 local time.
The impact was witnessed by people on the streets of New York City as well as the nearby state of New Jersey. The media quickly began reporting on the incident and speculated that the crash had been an accident. Seventeen minutes later, United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the World Trade Center's South Tower at 09:03, dispelling any notion it was accidental. The damage caused by the plane and the fires ignited by its crash caused the North Tower to collapse at 10:28am that morning, resulting in hundreds of additional casualties. While the recovery effort at the World Trade Center site led to the discovery and identification of body fragments from certain individuals who boarded Flight 11, many have not been identified.
2. United Airlines Flight 175
United Airlines Flight 175: Departed Boston at 8:14 AM also bound for Los Angeles. Hijackers commandeered the aircraft and flew it into the South Tower of the World Trade Center at 9:03 AM. It was an American domestic passenger flight from Logan International Airport in Boston to Los Angeles International Airport in California that was hijacked by five al-Qaeda terrorists on the morning of September 11, 2001, as part of the September 11 attacks.
Marwan al-Shehhi who was piloting the plane and carried out the suicide dive. The aircraft involved, a Boeing 767 carrying 51 passengers and nine crew members (excluding the five hijackers), was deliberately crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone aboard and causing the deaths of more than 600 people in the South Tower's upper levels in addition to an unknown number of civilians and emergency personnel on floors beneath the impact zone. Flight 175 is the second-deadliest plane crash in aviation history, surpassed only by American Airlines Flight 11, which struck the North Tower 17 minutes prior to Flight 175's crash.
Flight 175 departed from Logan Airport at 08:14. Twenty-eight minutes into the flight, the hijackers injured several crew members, forced their way into the cockpit, and murdered both pilots while moving anyone who remained to the rear of the aircraft. Lead hijacker Marwan al-Shehhi, who had trained as a pilot for the purposes of the attacks, was able to usurp the flight controls once the hijackers killed the captain and first officer. Unlike the team on American Airlines Flight 11, the terrorists aboard Flight 175 did not switch off the plane's transponder when they took over the cockpit. Thus, the aircraft was visible on New York Center's radar, which depicted the deviation from its assigned flight path before controllers took notice four minutes later at 08:51 EDT.
Upon realizing, the ATC workers immediately made several unsuccessful attempts to contact the cockpit of the hijacked airliner, which twice nearly collided with other planes as it recklessly flew toward New York City. In the interim, three people were able to get through to their family members and colleagues on the ground, passing on information to do with the hijackers as well as casualties suffered by the flight crew.
No more than 21 minutes after the hijacking began, al-Shehhi crashed the airplane into the South Tower's south face from floors 77 through 85 as part of an attack coordinated with the takeover of Flight 11, which had struck the upper floors of the World Trade Center's North Tower at 08:46. Media coverage of the disaster that began in the North Tower 17 minutes earlier meant Flight 175's impact at 09:03 was the only one of the four attacks to be televised live around the world. The damage done to the South Tower by the crash and subsequent fire caused its collapse 56 minutes later at 09:59, killing everyone who was still inside. During the recovery effort at the World Trade Center site, workers uncovered and identified remains from some Flight 175 victims, but many victims have not been identified.
Memorial and Legacy
Boston Logan Memorial: A permanent Boston Logan 9/11 Memorial honors the passengers and crews from both flights.
Airport Gates: American flags continue to fly at the airport jet bridges where both flights departed and flown into.
I was born on February 11, 1972 so exactly 54 years 7 months old this 911! As of today it has been 212 days since my last birthday. So this 911, I was flying in an American Airlines plane on 911 to Europe but not hijacked.
Time flies (no pun intended lol RIP 54 yrs, 7 mo, 655 months, 2,848 weeks, 19,936 days).

Trump's Future America
In a recent post, Canada, Mexico, Iceland and Greenland, as well as islands in the Caribbean are all depicted as part of a "Future-America". Denmark's foreign minister has criticised a "completely inappropriate" social post by Donald Trump appearing to show Greenland and Iceland as part of the US.
During a flurry of social media posts over the long holiday weekend, the US president posted a map showing the country sprawling across all of North America, and extending to Greenland and Iceland.
In the post, Canada, Mexico, Iceland and Greenland, as well as islands in the Caribbean, all appear coloured in the red, white and blue stars and stripes of the US flag.
Danish foreign minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen told the national broadcaster DR on Tuesday that it was "obviously a sign that the US president still harbours some kind of maximalist vision in his own mind". "We need to rein that in," the politician said, calling the post "disturbing and, in many ways, completely inappropriate". Iceland's foreign secretary, Thorgerdur Katrin Gunnarsdottir, summoned US ambassador Billy Long to a meeting and said she made it clear that the post was unacceptable, national broadcaster RUV said.
President Trump's post came on Monday as the European Union sought to reassure Greenland with the promise of a stronger partnership and hundreds of millions of euros in investment following Trump's repeated threats. Iceland, another NATO member that is just 180 miles (290km) away from Greenland, became alarmed when Trump mistakenly named the country four times while speaking about his designs on Greenland.
It led its left-leaning coalition government to move forward a referendum, originally planned for next year, on whether the country should resume long-stalled negotiations to become a member of the EU. The measure, which was promoted, in part, as an effort to strengthen ties with Europe to better insulate the country from global instability, was rejected in a referendum on 30 August. Trump also suggested renaming the state of New Mexico as "New America".
What do ou think? PG thinks NewfoundIsland and LabradorLand should become the 51st and 52nd United States of America.

Changing Newfoundland & Labrador's Name
PG endorses changing the name of NL from Newfoundland and Labrador to Newfound Island and Labrador Land. On October 26, 2001 the federal government changed the official name of Newfoundland to Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. At the time, Industry Minister Brian Tobin, former premier of Newfoundland, tabled a resolution in Parliament to adopt the name change.
The Newfoundland legislature adopted a similar resolution in April, 1999, and Premier Roger Grimes welcomed the federal move. "Labrador is an important and vital part of this province," Grimes said in a statement. "The government of Newfoundland and Labrador is firmly committed to ensuring official recognition of Labrador as an equal partner in this province."
Labrador makes up 70 per cent of the province's land mass. About 30,000 people live there, compared with about 540,000 on the island. At the time Tobin said changing the name is a symbolic but important recognition of Labrador's status as a full and vital partner.
Having both major parts of the province reflected in its name will promote feelings of "unity and inclusion," he said. The federal resolution was susequently adopted by the House of Commons and Senate, and proclaimed by the Governor-General, before coming into effect.
PG now endrses changing the name the Province of Newfound-Island and Labrador-Land.

Brad Pitt's 6 Children Hate Him
Which of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's children still use both surnames?
It seems like none of them use the double-barrel name in public, but it's unclear exactly how many of the six children have legally dropped Pitt.
Maddox: In 2026, 24-year-old Maddox filed a legal petition to change his name to Maddox Chivan Jolie and published the required legal notices ahead of a September court hearing. He had previously been credited simply as Maddox Jolie while working on Angelina's film Couture.
Pax: Pax, who is 22, has not publicly filed to change his legal name, but he has been estranged from Brad for years and famously shared a scathing Father's Day Instagram post calling him a "world-class a**hole".
Zahara: The 21-year-old filed to become Zahara Marley Jolie, and introduced herself using this moniker during her college sorority induction in 2023. Zahara also used the name again at her university graduation.
Shiloh: Two years ago, on her 18th birthday in 2024, Shiloh (Brad and Angelina's oldest biological child) legally petitioned to remove Pitt from her surname, with the request later approved by a judge.
Vivienne: Vivienne was credited as Vivienne Jolie in the Playbill for the Broadway production The Outsiders, which she worked on with her mother, and has now filed to change her name legally.
Knox: Vivienne's twin also hasn't announced a legal name change and there's no evidence of him going by Jolie-Pitt, just Jolie or just Pitt in any credits, making him the only sibling with a question mark against his name.
Why are Brad Pitt's children estranged from him?
The family's rift dates back to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's separation in September 2016 – Angelina filed for divorce days after a private jet flight during which she alleged that Brad was physically abusive towards her and one of their children.
The FBI and Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services investigated the incident, with documents later showing Angelina described Brad "mimick[ing] the behaviour of a monster and screamed" and admitted to physically restraining him, fearing he was going to "attack". The report also notes Angelina had injuries on her neck, back and hand.
Brad denied any wrongdoing, was not charged and no criminal action was taken.
The divorce became one of Hollywood's longest-running legal battles, with years of disputes over child custody and later over Château Miraval, a winery the former couple co-owned. Although their divorce was finalised in late 2024, the family relationships appear to have remained fractured.
What have Brad Pitt's children said about him?
The clearest indication of the children's feelings towards Brad came in 2020, when Pax shared a Father's Day post on Instagram in which he called Pitt a "world-class a**hole" and accused him of making his younger siblings "tremble in fear".
Pax added: "You have made the lives of those closest to me a constant hell. You may tell yourself and the world whatever you want, but the truth will come to light someday." The post resurfaced publicly in 2023 and fuelled speculation that the estrangement extended across all six children. Neither Brad nor his representatives publicly responded directly to the post.
While she has not commenting directly, Shiloh's lawyer said her decision to change her name came after "painful events".
