Home Celebrity Mia Farrow is Upset Everyone Thinks Her Daughter Committed Suicide, And that...

In the last few days it was revealed by the NY Posts Page Six that Mia Farrow erased her adopted daughter from a photo taken with Hillary Clinton. The daughter, Tam, died in 2000. Mia said it was an accidental overdose. but another adopted son, Moses, says Tam committed suicide.

Now is Mia is upset that people are discussing the deaths of 3 of her adopted children.

Mia writes on Twitter: Few families are perfect, and any parent who has suffered the loss of a child knows that pain is merciless and ceaseless. However, some vicious rumors based on untruths have appeared online concerning the lives of three of my children. To honor their memory, their children and every family that has dealt with the death of a child, I am posting this message.

Mia says: Tam died from an accidental prescription overdose related to the agonizing migraines she suffered, and her heart ailment. Moses says Tam killed herself after fighting with Mia.

Two other adopted children died, as well. Thaddeus committed suicide, he was found in his car dead from shooting himself. Adopted daughter Lark died of AIDS.

Mia blames Thaddeus death on a relationship gone wrong. Thaddeus, by the way, was given the middle name Wilk by Mia, who named him for late judge Elliot Wilk who presided over the Allen v. Farrow custody case. She was sucking up to the judge, who Woody Allen told us in his memoir last year had strange personal issues of his own.

Larks death was the only non suicide. That gets the most ink from Mia because its the least embarrassing.

Mia writes My daughter Lark was an extraordinary woman, a wonderful daughter, sister, partner and mother to her own children. She died at 35 from complications of HIV/AIDS, which she contracted from a previous partner. Despite her illness she lived a fruitful and loving life with her children and longtime partner. She succumbed to her illness & died suddenly in the hospital on Christmas, in her partners arms.

In her entire post, Mia never explains why she scrubbed Tam from a photo taken with Hillary Clinton.

In the recent Allen v. Farrow documentary, Mia was portrayed as mother of the year. There was no mention of the childrens deaths.

One of the issues that are currently plaguing the Senate is the filibuster, as more and more Democrats are calling for its abolishment due to its racist origins and its empowerment to the minority party. Joining the list of prominent Democrats is former presidential candidate and secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

Mrs. Clinton joins the growing number of Democrats that are supporting the abolishment of the filibuster in the upper chamber. Speaking in an upcoming episode of the Just Something About Her podcast by former White House communications director under the Obama administration Jennifer Palmieri. Palmieri also served as Clintons campaign aide in 2016. The episode is set to be released on Thursday. The filibuster gives empowerment to the minority party by setting a 60-vote threshold to pass a piece of legislation.

The former Senator also cited that the filibuster should not become a hurdle when it comes to constitutional matters, specifically when it comes to voting rights. Since the Democratic party has taken control of the Senate, they have ramped up their campaign to get rid of the move.

This also comes at a time when Republicans in state legislatures are passing bills that would make it more difficult to vote, disproportionately affecting communities of color.

The filibuster stands in the way of a lot of legislation and whether or not it can be either reformed and amended or eliminated is what we will find out in the next weeks, said Mrs. Clinton. It certainly should be lifted for constitutional matters and I would put election law matters at the top of the list.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court ruled to block the lower court order by right-wing watchdog Judicial Watch to depose the former secretary of state regarding her use of a private email account in relation to a lawsuit on the 2012 attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

In August 2020, a federal appeals court ruled that Mrs. Clinton could not be brought to appear for a deposition in a lawsuit regarding State Department emails. The denial, announced on Monday, was left unsigned.

Back in 2019, the State Department issued details of an investigation saying that there has been no substantial evidence that proves mishandled information in the issue surrounding Mrs. Clintons use of a private email server.

Am I the only one who feels like Im living in an old-fashioned monster movie, with mobs of chanting peasants bearing pitchforks and torches as they march upon on a dark, foreboding castle? Or am I just spending too much time watching TV news and reading about politics online?

Anybody who, like me, watched the first couple of episodes of the HBO documentary series Q: Into the Storm would sure have to wonder. I wont be watching the rest; my creep quotient has been exceeded. The very idea that this international cast of oddballs could keep millions in thrall to the lunatic delusion that a secretive cabal of Satan-worshipping, baby-killing pedophiles led by Hillary Clinton rules the world and that only Donald Trump can save us

Well, its like something out of Masters of Atlantis, Charles Portis droll novel about two flimflam artists who found a religious sect based upon the lost wisdom of a kingdom beneath the sea. Soon they fall to fighting over accumulated heresies, much as QAnon adepts appear to be falling out as one failed prophecy follows another.

Herman Melvilles The Confidence-Man also comes to mind. Americans have always had a weakness for mystic lore.

The internet allows, nay encourages, like-minded cranks and opportunists from around the world to communicate: California, New Jersey, South Africa and the Philippines. Some of the same types who peddle extended auto warranties or trick you into giving your Social Security number over the phone are doing their best to monetize an ever-evolving delusional system.

So who is the mysterious Q, author of thousands of gnomic prophecies? Steve Bannon? Stephen Miller? Trump himself? Not possible. The first two are too cynical even to fake the required level of superstition. Trumps incapable of talking about anything other than himself for any sustained period.

The real question is: Who cares?

Pretty much the first thing that strikes you on your initial visit to a penitentiary or a psychiatric hospital is how ordinary everybody seems, like people you might encounter at the grocery store. Indeed, most QAnon devotees appear to conduct their ordinary lives all right: buying cars, getting haircuts, taking the trash to the curb, etc.

Its only when HBOs subjects touch upon their ruling passion that one understands that theyre rapt with delusion, imagining evil conspiracies and dark plots carrying not flaming torches, but little glowing screens.Otherwise, its downright medieval: It used to be Jews who supposedly murdered Christian infants. Now its Democrats. In the 16th century, the bubonic plague needed to be explained; now its COVID-19.

Reasoning with adepts of arcane lore is largely futile. I once had a neighbor who was deeply into astrology, pondering the heavens, casting detailed horoscopes and ascribing deep significance to the movements of the stars. He was a slender fellow with a deep, sepulchral voice youd expect to hear coming from a 300-pound defensive tackle. In real life, he was a banker.

One day my wife complained out loud about the chaotic state of my office. (I used to urge her to avoid going in there if it bothered her. Orderly filing systems never worked for me. I could find things only by remembering where they were. Now I have a computer.) So anyway, the neighbor laughed his booming laugh.

Well, its a sure thing hes not a Virgo, he chortled.

Uh-oh. Unless my birth certificates forged, a Virgo is precisely what I am. A Virgo on the cusp of Libra, whatever that is, a combination supposedly making me deeply inclined toward order; basically a neat freak.

Eleven-to-1 odds in his favor, and my man had shot himself in the metaphorical foot. If you think it gave him pause, youve known no True Believers. Without skipping a beat, he recast my horoscope to reveal a hidden passion for a deeper order than my wife perceived. After all, what is writing but the process of putting words in proper places?

Concluding that astrology is simply humbug was beyond his reach. To be fair, the newspaper in which youre reading this column probably publishes horoscopes. Its an ancient, essentially harmless superstition.Just so the impassioned necromancers of QAnon.

After the Trumpist mob failed in its attempt to reverse Dear Leaders electoral defeat on Jan. 6, the faithful pivoted to a new prediction: The Storm, so called, would take place on March 4, with Trump triumphantly reinaugurated and wreaking vengeance upon Satanic Democrats.

Mass executions would follow outside the U.S. Capitol: Hillary, Bill Gates, George Soros. All the devil-worshipping child murderers would be put to death in photogenically grisly ways. Hanging would be too good for them.

Instead, Trumps stuck at Mar-a-Lago, giving meandering wedding toasts about the lost election and going on Fox News to peddle fantasies about the Jan. 6 rioters hugging and kissing the police and the guards.If he were your grandpa, youd hide his car keys.

A lot of them wanted to blow up Washington. Thats why they thought they were elected.

To them, my talk of trying to get anything done made me a sellout, a dupe of the Democrats, and a traitor. Some of them had me in their sights from day one. They saw me as much of an enemy as the guy in the White House. Me, a guy who had come to the top of the leadership by exposing corruption and pushing conservative ideas. Now I was a liberal collaborator. So that took some getting used to. What I also had not anticipated was the extent to which this new crowd hatedand I mean hatedBarack Obama.

By 2011, the right-wing propaganda nuts had managed to turn Obama into a toxic brand for conservatives. When I was first elected to Congress, we didnt have any propaganda organization for conservatives, except maybe a magazine or two like National Review. The only people who used the internet were some geeks in Palo Alto. There was no Drudge Report. No Breitbart. No kooks on YouTube spreading dangerous nonsense like they did every day about Obama.

Hes a secret Muslim!

He hates America!

Hes a communist!

And of course the truly nutty business about his birth certificate. People really had been brainwashed into believing Barack Obama was some Manchurian candidate planning to betray America.

Mark Levin was the first to go on the radio and spout off this crazy nonsense. It got him ratings, so eventually he dragged Hannity and Rush to Looneyville along with him. My longtime friend Roger Ailes, the head of Fox News, was not immune to this. He got swept into the conspiracies and the paranoia and became an almost unrecognizable figure.

Id known Ailes for a long time, since his work with George H.W. Bush in the early 1990s. Hed gone to college in Ohio, and since we had that connection, he sought me out at some event and introduced himself. Years later, in August of 1996, when I was in San Diego for the Republican National Convention, I ended up having dinner with Ailes and a veteran broadcasting executive named Rupert Murdoch. At that dinner they told me all about this new TV network they were starting. I had no idea I was listening to the outline of something that would make my life a living hell down the line. Sure enough, that October, Fox News hit the airwaves.

I kept in touch with Roger and starting in the early 2000s, Id stop in and see him whenever I was in New York for fundraisers. Wed shoot the breeze and talk politics. We got to know each other pretty well.

Murdoch, on the other hand, was harder to know. Sometimes hed invite me to watch the Super Bowl in the Fox box, or hed stop by the office. Wherever he was, you could tell he was the man in charge. He was a businessman, pure and simple. He cared about ratings and the bottom line. He also wanted to make sure he was ahead of any political or policy developments coming down the line. He was always asking who was up, who was down, what bills could pass and what couldnt. If he entertained any of the kooky conspiracy theories that started to take over his network, he kept it a secret from me. But he clearly didnt have a problem with them if they helped ratings.

At some point after the 2008 election, something changed with my friend Roger Ailes. I once met him in New York during the Obama years to plead with him to put a leash on some of the crazies he was putting on the air. It was making my job trying to accomplish anything conservative that much harder. I didnt expect this meeting to change anything, but I still thought it was bullshit, and I wanted Roger to know it.

When I put it to him like that, he didnt have much to say. But he did go on and on about the terrorist attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, which he thought was part of a grand conspiracy that led back to Hillary Clinton. Then he outlined elaborate plots by which George Soros and the Clintons and Obama (and whoever else came to mind) were trying to destroy him.

Theyre monitoring me, he assured me about the Obama White House. He told me he had a safe room built so he couldnt be spied on. His mansion was being protected by combat-ready security personnel, he said. There was a lot of conspiratorial talk. It was like hed been reading whacked-out spy novels all weekend.

I thought I could get him to control the crazies, and instead I found myself talking to the president of the club.

And it was clear that he believed all of this crazy stuff. I walked out of that meeting in a daze. I just didnt believe the entire federal government was so terrified of Roger Ailes that theyd break about a dozen laws to bring him down. I thought I could get him to control the crazies, and instead I found myself talking to the president of the club. One of us was crazy. Maybe it was me.

I have no idea what the relationship between Ailes and Murdoch was like, or if Ailes ever would go off on these paranoid tangents during meetings with his boss. But Murdoch must have thought Ailes was good for business, because he kept him in his job for years.

Places like Fox News were creating the wrong incentives. Sean Hannity was one of the worst. Id known him for years, and we used to have a good relationship. But then he decided he felt like busting my ass every night on his show. So one day, in January of 2015, I finally called him and asked: What the hell? I wanted to know why he kept bashing House Republicans when we were actually trying to stand up to Obama.

Well, you guys dont have a plan, he whined.

Look, I told him, our plan is pretty simple: were just going to stand up for what we believe in as Republicans.

I guess that wasnt good enough for him. The conversation didnt progress very far. At some point I called him a nut. Anyway, its safe to say our relationship never got any better.

Besides the homegrown talent at Fox, with their choice of guests they were making people who used to be fringe characters into powerful media stars. One of the first prototypes out of their laboratory was a woman named Michele Bachmann.

Bachmann, who had represented Minnesota's 6th Congressional District since 2007 and made a name for herself as a lunatic ever since, came to meet with me in the busy period in late 2010 after the election. She wanted a seat on the Ways and Means Committee, the most powerful committee in the House. There were many members in line ahead of her for a post like this. People who had waited patiently for their turn and who also, by the way, werent wild-eyed crazies.

There was no way she was going to get on Ways and Means, the most prestigious committee in Congress, and jump ahead of everyone else in line. Not while I was Speaker. In earlier days, a member of Congress in her position wouldnt even have dared ask for something like this. Sam Rayburn would have laughed her out of the city.

So I told her nodiplomatically, of course. But as she kept on talking, it dawned on me. This wasnt a request of the Speaker of the House. This was a demand.

Her response to me was calm and matter-of-fact. Well, then Ill just have to go talk to Sean Hannity and everybody at Fox, she said, and Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, and everybody else on the radio, and tell them that this is how John Boehner is treating the people who made it possible for the Republicans to take back the House.

I wasnt the one with the power, she was saying. I just thought I was. She had the power now.

She was right, of course.

'Vaccine-ready' is officially a look in the online clothing world, with a major retailer launching a category specifically for the COVID-inspired style.

Shopping website Revolve has divided shoppers after unveiling its "Vaccine Ready" category, featuring a range of strapless and off-the-shoulder tops for jab-accessible arms.

While the garments were not specifically made with vaccinations in mind, a Revolve representative told Insider: "We curated this page as a cute idea for our customers that captures what's going on in their lives right now."

In February, a Twitter user had shared an image of one of Revolve's off-the-shoulder sweaters, suggesting a perfect use for it.

Might order this for my vaccination," the tweet read, receiving almost 500,000 likes in response.

The new section of the website was later addressed on TikTok, with one user revealing her discovery in a video.

"So I was looking for summer shirts on Revolve. I don't know I'm manifesting it, leave me alone. And I was scrolling and I was like: 'What's this?'" Danni Cole told viewers.

Showing screengrabs of the 'Vaccine Ready' category, Cole laughed as she explained, "They're all shirts that you can wear to your vaccine appointment. So you can pick any of these. Or these."

"Excuse me as I get my $250 vaccine shirt next-day," she joked in her caption.

Dolly Parton famously sported a "cold shoulder" style shirt to receive her vaccine, revealing the outfit in an Instagram video from her appointment.

Hillary Clinton praised the country music icon's outfit choice, resharing an image of herself wearing a similar style in the 1990s.

"Loved seeing @dollyparton bring back the cold shoulder as a vaccination look. Shall we make this a trend?" Clinton wrote.

Naturally, it did spark a style movement among celebrities, with designer Marc Jacobs sporting a vaccine-ready look equipped with hot pink trousers, leopard print, pink sequinned shorts and platform boots,

"Spring has sprung and second vaccine done!" he wrote in his post.

Amy Schumer wore a sparkly gold outfit with a conveniently-placed cutout at the shoulder, declaring she sported her "fanciest dress" for her vaccine, while Model Christie Brinkley took Parton's lead, wearing a one-shouldered top to her appointment.

Revolve lists a range of "cold shoulder", "off-the-shoulder" and "shoulderless" tops.

The brand's 'Vaccine Ready' category can be found under the retailer's top sections, with items ranging from $49 - $390.

While fashion often moves in step with current affairs, curating the culture of the world through clothing, online shoppers were divided by the prospect of profiting off a pandemic that has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide.

Some users called the concept "really good marketing," while another joked, "They better provide the vaccine with those prices."

"This is actually the most moronic thing I've ever seen," another wrote on Instagram.
