I remember Russ from movies in the 50’s & 60’s, long ago. I was not aware of his TV work because I quit watching broadcast TV shows in the 1980’s and I did not watch many of them prior to that. It seems as if Russ Tamblyn has done well over the years with his acting. The Shovel Dance is incredible and fun.
I have an older brother who is two months older than Russ, my brother is 91 and he will be 92 next month. I spoke to him on the phone two days ago and my brother is really feeling his age, he has no signs of dementia and he still has a few old accounting clients he kept after selling off most of his oil & gas accounting business a few years ago. However after having a pace maker installed four years and taking lots of blood thinners my brother has had to slow down his activities a whole lot and he told me that he is getting ready to sell his last Corvette that is four years old and has a little over three thousand miles on it. His car stays in his garage plugged into a battery charger covered up to keep the dust out and they use his wife’s car when they have to go to their many doctors appointments. I am 11 years younger and in much better health yet I don’t move as fast as I would like and I appreciate what folks deal with as they age on along their path. It’s not easy and I have started eating more vegetables and drinking a whole lot less gin and wine, less and less often.
I looked up Russ and he is staying active having heart issues and writing a book and making appearances. With the recent and often passing of favorite actors and singers I am glad he is doing all right and with us. Thank you Neo for posting another good dancer and his performance, I hope your ex is doing better this week and recovering.
So much fun! I never get too much of those memories. Just what we need more of these days! Things to make us smile, and seeing performances that are amazing! Thanks!
Good news from Buck ThrockMorton on the Ace website
Most conservative blogs, especially Neo’s, specialize in bad news. Here’s a rare good news that also happens to be true.
THE MORNING RANT: There’s A Lot of Great News as We Start the Homestretch to the Midterm Elections
Labor Day is the unofficial start of the campaign season for the November mid-term elections. The primaries are over, the phony summer push-polls are in the rearview mirror, and we’re about to be flooded with campaign ads. We have every reason to be excited to go to the polls to ensure an ongoing Congressional Republican majority, and to keep the DSA-influenced Democrats away from any levers of power.
The 20 months since President Trump’s inauguration in early 2025 have had the most significant conservative victories of my lifetime, far exceeding President Reagan’s accomplishments. Here are just a few of the things President Trump and his team have done:
• Closed the border to illegal invaders.
• Deported hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens, and caused millions more to self-deport.
• Slashed the federal workforce.
• Eliminated DEI and wokeness from the military and federal agencies.
• Eliminated EV mandates and green energy subsidies.
• Effectively terminated corporate average fuel economy requirements for auto manufacturers.
• Engaged the military to eliminate narco-terrorists.
• Engaged the DOJ to target corporations engaged in illegal racial discrimination in hiring.
There are so many more milestone accomplishments beyond those.
For decades the conservative base has clamored for the above victories. President Trump finally delivered. Amidst all this, there are many “conservative” influencers who are promoting doom. For many of them, that is their job – being paid to blackpill conservative voters to stay home, so as to elect a Democrat Congress. The resumption of Democrat lawfare against the Trump administration is their goal.
High prices are a problem, and are very frustrating to Americans, because there is an unrealistic expectation that prices will come down from the crazy inflation of the Biden years. At one point inflation exceeded 9% annually according to government record keepers. (We all know it was much higher, and that it compounded year over year.) Inflation is back down to 3%, but even if it falls to 0%, the runup in prices during the Biden years aren’t going away. Wage growth is the answer to this problem, and that is now happening thanks to Trump’s policies.
There is abundant great news on the economic front:
• Wages: The combination of industrial growth and elimination of off-the-books foreign labor is creating demand for employees and pushing up wages. Per the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank, wage growth is outpacing inflation, especially for those changing jobs, as employers are now having to compete for employees.
• Industrial Activity: As I frequently write about, there is an explosion of industrial growth and economic activity in this country. The re-shoring of industry thanks to Trump’s tariffs and his America-first agenda is one of the drivers.
• Job Creation: The most recent jobs report revealed job creation that was triple the expectation of “experts.” In addition, the number of job openings is surging. More than 1,000,000 new private sector jobs, filled by American citizens, have been created since Trump’s 2025 inauguration.
Here are just a few recent headlines that we can celebrate:

More good news, this time from Victor Davis Hanson, on the Iran war
I was wondering if Amber Tamblyn was his granddaughter. She is his daughter. She 43, which is older than I’d’ve thought, but young enough to have been a granddaughter.
Proto-parkour
Winston Marshall calls this weekend and recent events the start of public militancy against the UKs invasion. The UK pays grand by £1.3 billion in the past two years. What do French police do? They enable it!
Rage is rising to a boil some places. A concise graphic and spoken 16m overview of the situation is in his YT post tonight.
DESCRIPTION “Britain is erupting. Over one extraordinary weekend, hundreds of protesters descended on Dover and Portsmouth as another major migrant boat crossed the Channel, roads were blockaded, police formed lines with riot shields, and tens of thousands watched events unfold live online. In this monologue, I examine what happened, the rise of organised anti-immigration protest groups, the government’s response, Britain’s continuing small-boats crisis, and why growing numbers of ordinary people appear to have lost faith in the political system’s ability to control the border. After years of failed promises on immigration, increasingly confrontational protests and growing public anger, something appears to have fundamentally changed. What I witnessed this weekend made me reconsider something I had previously been deeply sceptical about and it raises a disturbing question about where Britain goes from here.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_79xLfIaYc
Yesterday, I heard that the 244 Mosques in Birmingham are more than in Kabul, the Capital of Afghanistan. Invasion indeed. And not for peace.
As investigative reporter Nate Friedman says, after hundreds of interviews with Muslims in the UK, not one does not support the institution of Sharia Law!
This official submission to Islam cannot go on. “More than one million,ion must be deported,” says Marshall.

Kipling: When the English Began to Hate
The Beginnings
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When the English began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy-willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the English began to hate.
Their voices were even and low,
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show,
When the English began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd,
It was not taught by the State.
No man spoke it aloud,
When the English began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred,
It will not swiftly abate,
Through the chill years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the English began to hate.
In a speech at Southport in June 1915, he said: ‘However the world pretends to divide itself, there are only two divisions in the World today – human beings and Germans.’ ‘That is not’, commented Bonamy Dobrée (p.131), ‘a sadistic utterance, nor one prompted by `irrational’ hatred; it expresses the outraged feelings of a man deeply believing in the value of civilization, “the ages’ slow-bought gain”, and in the Law “by means of which life is made comely.”‘ .
@ Richard Cook — your link resurrecting the old Amanda Duarte tweet shows that our current Clancy fans are not a new phenomenon. Oddly, that tweet itself has been scrubbed from the internet search algorithms (she deleted and close her account after another faux pas), but screen captures are forever.

I won’t quote it here, but “Amanda Duarte was intending to insult pro-life conservatives, but her tweet offended so many people she left Twitter on Monday.”
In other news, Hell, it seems, may have frozen over (can frozen pigs fly)…
What do you know? The New York Times just exposed its readers to some rare honesty about Gaza — running an 1,878-word plea from a native Gazan for Hamas to be “expelled.”….
Since we’re on the subject of Russ Tamblyn, must post this.
