June 22, 2020 LIE TO ME

As Covid threatens to take over the United States, our fearless leader carried on with his idiotic rally. Are you kidding me? And masks were optional? As it stands now--8 of his staffers have tested positive for virus. DAAHHH....Trump actually said that he wanted to limit testing to keep the numbers down--so that he could spread his "Fake News." OKAY-- let's just stop testing so that Trump can claim he's conquered his enemy. UGH.  The only good news that came out of the rally--besides the fact that TRUMP made an ASS out of himself AGAIN-- was that the rally wasn't  well attended. Many people were smart enough to stay away from an enclosed area full of people--they actually listened to SCIENCE.  I think that the  people who were actually DUMB enough to attend the rally --should have been required to a sign a waiver-- giving up their rights to medical care--when they get Covid. Sounds fair to me.  It's laughable that TRUMP stood there spouting about MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN --when everything that's gone wrong in the United States since his election is pretty much his fault. He doesn't give a HOOT about Racism, BLM, Covid or trying to Unite the U.S.  He wants to divide the U.S. AND spread HATRED so that he can get re-elected.  TRUMP ONLY CARES ABOUT TRUMP-- HIS  MONEY--and GETTING REELECTED.
Another person who seemingly only cares about herself is the main character in Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel,  The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. As the story begins, Evelyn is a legendary actress of "Old Hollywood" living in New York City who wants her story told. She hires an unknown journalist named Monique Grant to write her story. This begs the question why an unknown journalist? At this point in the story,  Monique is barely scraping by as her husband has left her and her career is going nowhere. After the two meet, Monique goes to Evelyns apartment every day to record her biography for a book that stands to make millions. Monique learns that Evelyn made her way to Hollywood in 1950 at the age of fourteen to become a star. She was ruthless in her endeavor and didn't let anyone or anything stand in her way as fame and fortune meant more to her than anything. Evelyn's story is one of  glamour, betrayal, friendship and scandal as  Evelyn explains why she had seven husbands, and why she was forced to leave Hollywood in the 1980s. This book is ultimately about the love of Evelyn's life and her desire to finally speak the truth. By the end of the story, Monique will also learn why she was chosen by Evelyn to write her biography. I really enjoyed the story--it was not what I expected--for that I'm thankful. It's about 400 pages or a 4 mile run that you will find hard to put down. Enjoy.
