    9. Noam Chomsky

    I wonder if he's aware of Kissinger's death?

    Donald J Trump

    I posted on here a while back, but I think Trump's health is worse than what he lets on. I think all the indictments against him have made him worse mentally. Watch a rally from this time last year and watch a rally since the start of this year. He's really going downhill. He's had problems with slurred speech for a few years now, but it's been worsening over the past few months. The energy he had in 2016 is really going down with his trials. Biden is a few years older, but is in better shape, so it wouldn't surprise me if Biden outlives Trump.

    O.J. Simpson: Run Out Of Juice?

    TMZ gave more information about his last months. They wrote his health deteriorated rapidly over the past 11 months, and was in and out of the hospital during that time. When the cancer was unlikely going to be beaten, he was put in hospice. After another visit to the hospital 2 weeks ago, he was sent home to live out his remaining days. The end came quickly once his family arrived. He also made no deathbed confession. OJ gave a cryptic Twitter video about him having cancer last May, but didn't mention what type and also was confident he beat it. In a February video, he denied he was going into hospice care. I'm not sure if he'd be the type that would reveal if he was literally fighting for his life, but it seems like the end was very quick especially.

    Political Frailty

    Even though he was 82, It's still a shock, as he was still heavily involved in politics until his passing. He was still being interviewed a few days ago about No Labels.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2025

    I think Peter Marshall might be a great choice for 2025. 96, and had a near-fatal bout with COVID-19 in 2021 by nearly going into hospice care until a miraculous recovery happened with a different doctor and 24-hour care. His 68-year-old son also caught Covid later in the year, and unfortunately, wasn't so lucky. His COVID-19 battle also ended his decades-long entertainment career. I've not heard much of anything since he had his 95th birthday party a few years ago. He's likely a good DL pick for however much time he has left.

    Trisha Goddard

    Goddard had her own US spinoff show which was produced by NBC Universal, who also syndicated both Jerry and Maury for decades. Trisha's American show lasted for just 3 seasons from 2012-2014. Didn't watch her that much compared to Jerry or Maury, but I wish her the best of luck in her battle.

    Brian Wilson

    I saw Brian at a casino in Canada in 2018, and there were times where Brian was just "there". His singing voice was less than half of what it was in the '60s, and he wasn't really outgoing with the audience, but he did say "Merry Christmas" after they played "Little Saint Nick". On the other hand, his backing band was fantastic, and some of the musicians were outstanding. He was a bit frail, as his assistant had to help him to his piano. I thought at the time, that it was related to his mental problems in the 70's and not dementia. Some of the audience left early as they thought he was being exploited. To be fair, I'd rather see Brian perform any day than see Mike Love's glorified tribute band that tours as the Beach Boys.

    Donald J Trump

    I've seen clips lately of Trump during rallies and interviews, and I think he's declining very rapidly with all of his indictments. Confusing Pelosi with Nikki Haley and thinking she ran security at the Capitol, thinking Obama's still president, claiming Biden tried to get us into WW2, using made-up words like "debanking", and just all-around incoherence, and thinking E. Jean Carroll was his wife during a deposition at his civil trial. I'm sure the indictments and trials haven't helped him physically either. I know he's had the slurring and confusion during his presidency, but it seems to be getting worse. He doesn't look that great without the makeup. I believe he's in worse shape than Biden. I know Biden has his moments, but Trump's decline is worse.

    The Chequered Flag

    Such a shame to hear about Cale. He wasn't just an outstanding driver, but was also one of the best characters in the sport, being a member of the famed "Alabama Gang". R.I.P.

    U.S. Political Figures over 85

    I think if you retire relatively younger from Congress, you tend to have quite a few live longer lives. Bob Dole lived at least 25 years after he retired, the same with John Glenn. Others like Hatch, Conyers, and George Voinovich in my state of Ohio don't live 10 years to their retirement.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2024

    Yeah, his face looks fairly gaunt and has been for at least a year and a half. On an appearance on Idol winner Jennifer Hudson's talk show, his voice was very raspy, which wasn't the case when I watched American Idol seasons when he judged. I wonder if he has the same raspy voice on Live with Kelly and Ryan?

    1. Jimmy Carter

    Part of me wonders if Carter wants to stay around for the '24 election. I don't think he'll make it that far, but he's defied my and other's expectations.

    The Chequered Flag

    Tony Renna's fatal crash at a testing session at Indy never was released as there were no professional camera people or television filming as it happened as well.

    The Chequered Flag

    At least he died of natural causes instead of traumatic injuries in an accident, which happens in auto racing at times, unfortunately.

    The Chequered Flag

    Absolute shocker. de Ferran was a great driver and a class act in his years in Indycar and was beloved by his fellow drivers. R.I.P.
