"I remember asking myself questions. I'm
trying to be a better man, I'm trying to be a good man. And I remember asking myself the question, what is a good man, and I was dwelling on it for weeks. I pride myself on being a good man. But really what is that? I'm sitting in my prayer time, my quiet time, God started speaking to me, telling me a good man is a dead man. And at first I heard that and I was like, I don't really know what that means. I want to live. But then he revealed...

| 10/2/22 | Charles L. Cross
Back in 2008, a journalist asked Ringo Starr what he wanted for his birthday. “Peace
and love,” Starr replied. Ringo is so beloved that, these days, every July 7, social media is filled with “peace and love” tags for Ringo’s birthday. Ringo — one of the few “one name” celebrities — was 68 that year (he’s 82 now). He brings his still youthful stellar musicianship, along with his “All Starr” band, to Benaroya Hall for an Oct. 11 concert. (Starr tested positive for the coronavirus and had to cancel and reschedule several stops on his tour this week. As of...

How Keith Moon made Ringo Starr's son become the future drummer of The Who (44th anniversary of his death)

| September 7, 2022 | Joe Taysum
Ringo Starr’s son, Zac, was always destined to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a drummer. Interestingly,
however, it wasn’t Ringo’s work with The Beatles that persuaded him to step behind the drum kit but their family friend, Keith Moon. At first, Zac Starkey had no intention of becoming a drummer and told the Pittsburgh Post in 2019 that he started as a guitarist. Starkey told the publication: “When I was about 7, I went with my dad to see T. Rex, and I said to my dad, ‘I want to be like that guy. I want a guitar....

He’s a century old and still fabulous. A
heroic World War II veteran who bravely spoke up for gay rights in the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” era celebrated his 100th birthday with a snazzy rainbow-colored hat and matching birthday cake last month. Rupert “Twink” Starr — an LGBTQ activist who earned a Bronze Star for his bravery during the Battle of the Bulge — threw a birthday bash with pals at his home in Columbus, Ohio, on July 16, according to reports. At the party, the spunky centenarian wore flamboyantly decorated pink costume glasses and a hat topped with rainbows...

Belle Starr: The Untold Story of the American Outlaw Known as the Bandit Queen

Ammo.com ^
| 2/6/2022 | Sam Jacobs
Basically everyone has heard of Jesse James. Slightly more obscure is Belle Starr, an outlaw from the same Wild West era, albeit one without the name recognition of James and his gang, with whom she had some ties. In
her time she was known as the Bandit Queen and the Petticoat Terror of the Plains. Perhaps most interestingly of all, she was murdered and her murder remains officially unsolved to this day. Her birth name was Myra Maybelle Shirley (her family mostly knew her as “May”) and she hailed from Carthage, Missouri. Although a prosperous farmer in the region, her...

The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs on Wednesday held an oversight hearing to examine irregularities in the 2020 election. Former
special prosecutor and solicitor general Ken Starr testified before the senate committee as an expert witness. Judge Starr said that the state of Pennsylvania “flagrantly violated” laws ahead of the election by circumventing the state legislature and creating law out of thin air through its state supreme court. When the Pennsylvania state legislature refused to extend the election for three days and accept mail-in ballots without postmarks, Democrat Governor Wolf ran to the PA supreme court...

Washington (CNN) Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, has invited former independent counsel Ken Starr and attorneys in key battleground states to testify at a controversial hearing next week where he plans to probe the 2020 election that President-elect Joe Biden won.

Ken Starr: Pennsylvania Ballot Extension 'Constitutional Travesty'

| 08 November 2020 | Eric Mack
The disputed Pennsylvania ballot extension forced by state courts over the legislature is a "constitutional travesty," according to famed prosecutor Ken Starr. "What happened in Pennsylvania over these recent weeks is a constitutional travesty," Starr told Fox News' "Life, Liberty & Levin." "Gov. [Tom] Wolf tries to get his reforms, his vision,
as he was entitled to do, through the legislature of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He failed. "He then goes to the state Supreme Court, which by a divided vote, accepted the substance of what Gov. Wolf was doing, and then added thereon nooks and crannies as well."

Opinion: Trump impeachment defense lawyers Ken Starr and Alan Dershowitz share disturbing problem

NBC "News" ^
| January 23, 2020 | By Frank Figliuzzi and Karen Schwartz
There's been a lot of talk about President Donald Trump's choice of Alan Dershowitz and Ken Starr as lawyers participating in his Senate impeachment trial defense. Most
of this has rightly focused on the arguments both men presented at President Bill Clinton's impeachment in 1999, which stand in almost laughable contradiction to the arguments they now seek to present. But when these two hired guns are examined alongside their latest famous client, another more troubling thread emerges, one that has been all too common for those in Trump's orbit. These guys really don't like women. While the president still stands...
