Journey has reached an “amicable settlement” with a pair of former members that were previously accused of plotting an “ill-conceived” attempt to take over the band’s name. In March 2020, Journey’s Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain fired longtime bassist Ross Valory and drummer Steve Smith after the latter two allegedly tried to fund their retirement by wresting control of the band’s name. Both Schon and Cain and Valory exchanged lawsuits in the legal battle; Skip Miller, a lawyer for Schon and Cain, said at the time of Valory’s countersuit, “The cross-complaint has no merit whatsoever. Valory is out of the...

Have you ever noticed how the females in the Kennedy family so often seem to find the absolute worst men to hook up with — mates who turn out to be mirror images of the horrible, sleazy, philandering, domestic-abusing males the Kennedy women grew up with. The latest example of a typical Kennedy in-law is “embattled” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who used to be married to Kerry Kennedy, one of RFK’s daughters.

All kinds of Democrats said it, so why not their allies in the media? I’m speaking here of the media chorus that insisted — insisted — that what President Trump, in an Oval Office address to the nation in January called a “humanitarian crisis” at the border — was in fact nothing more than a “manufactured crisis.” It’s one thing for partisan Democrats to make such a preposterous charge thinking they can get away with it. They are in this case, after all, seriously Trump-hating partisans. But the media? Those who insist that an “Apple is not a Banana” because...

On MSNBC’s 11th Hour Monday night, disgraced fake news anchor Brian Williams warned of the “danger” of President Trump calling out liberal media bias at CNN International. The left-wing channel’s favorite “Republican,” Steve Schmidt, eagerly agreed with Williams, claiming the President was endangering journalists and behaving like an “autocrat.” “What’s the danger, in your view, of the President, as we saw over the weekend, declaring a network, in this case CNN International, to be fake and telling a global audience the same thing? And perhaps deciding to give a trophy to the network of his choosing that’s been reporting, giving...

Former Raider with ALS wants to help others 07/19/2003 It's not supposed to happen to guys like Steve Smith. Not to a guy who once scored two touchdowns in a remarkable come-from-behind win for the Raiders on Monday Night Football. Not to a guy who was on two of Joe Paterno's national championship teams. It's not supposed to happen to a guy who is the father of 13-year-old Dante and 11-year-old Jazmin and husband to wonderful Chie. Not a guy who prays and believes. Not a guy who is 38. You watch Steve Smith slide his body, inch by inch,...
