Mariska Hargitay emotionally shared her memories of the late Robin Williams during a recent interview. The actress sat with Vanity Fair earlier this week and recalled the moving experience of meeting the Patch Adams star on the set of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in 2008. Robin guest starred as a vigilante named Merritt Rook in a Season 9 episode titled Authority. “To watch flow happening — that which is invisible — he was the personification of it,” she said of his acting in a TikTok video posted on May 23. “He was magnificent. Different every time, funny every time, and truthful and believable.” @vanityfair “He made all of us feel so special.” #MariskaHargitay reflects on the “magic” of the late actor RobinWilliams. #svu #oliviabenson #lawandorder ♬ original sound – Vanity Fair – Vanity Fair “And what is happening?” she asked of the experience. “How am I so lucky that I get to witness it? It was magic. Everything was electric with him.

He made all of us feel so special,” she said, visibly choked. “You’re just in this moment going, ‘I’m pinching myself that I get to live in the same time with somebody so magnetic and so magic and so generous’ that you go, ‘I’m just different because we got to breathe, same oxygen,” she said. “It was pretty great.” Robin Williams took his own life on August 11, 2014.

Yes, it’s President Joe Biden’s name on the 2024 ballot as former President Trump’s opponent. But in reality? In reality, Trump’s main opponent in this presidential election year is the “mainstream” - aka “liberal” - media. In truth, this game of targeting potential Republican presidential nominees or presidents has been played for decades. Hop in the time traveling machine and take a look at some of the coverage faced by a rising GOP star named Ronald Reagan. The New York Times declared that Reagan’s candidacy is “patently ridiculous.” The Times added this of Reagan’s run against then-incumbent GOP President Gerald Ford in 1976: The astonishing thing is that this amusing but frivolous Reagan fantasy is taken so seriously by the news media and particularly by the President (Gerald Ford). It makes a lot of news, but it makes no sense. The left-leaning New Republic was unsparing, one of its columnists writing that:  Ronald Reagan to me is still the posturing, essentially mindless and totally unconvincing candy man that he’s been in my opinion ever since I watched his first try for the Republican nomination evaporate in Miami in 1968,” adding that“Reagan is Goldwater revisited…He is a divisive factor in the party. Then there was Harper’s magazine:  That he should be regarded as a serious candidate for President is a shame and an embarrassment for the country at large to swallow. The Chicago Daily News huffed:  The trouble with Reagan, of course, is that his positions on the major issues are cunningly phrased nonsense — irrationality conceived and hair-raising in their potential mischief… Here comes Barry Goldwater again, only more so, and at this stage another such debacle could sink the GOP so deep it might never recover. Then there was the supposedly pro-GOP Time magazine, co-founded by the decidedly conservative Henry Luce: Republicans now must decide whether he (Reagan) represents a conservative wave of the future or is just another Barry Goldwater calling on the party to mount a hopeless crusade against the twentieth century. Startlingly, National Review - the conservative magazine founded by Reagan’s friend William F. Buckley Jr. - said:  Reagan’s image remains inchoate.… At the outset of his campaign, his image is largely that of the role-playing actor — pleasant on stage, but ill-equipped for the real world beyond the footlights. Reagan does not yet project the presidential image. He is not seen as a serious man. And on and on this kind of media sniping at Reagan went. Moving up to current day, as America moves into its traditional Memorial Day holiday in the middle of the 2024 presidential election between Trump and Biden, it is more than clear that as the media of the day targeted Reagan, today’s media has zeroed in on Trump. Here’s the New York Times pushing the Democrat strategy of focusing on abortion:  This Is the Democrats’ Best Shot in 2024. And They Are Spending Like Crazy on It. The same day a Times columnist was headlining:  Trump’s Taste for Tyranny Finds a Target In the same vein, a Washington Post columnist headlined:   Trump’s fascist talk is what’s ‘poisoning the blood of our country’ No, Trump isn’t Hitler. But his copycat words lead nowhere good. A Post editor opined this in the same issue:  Some rogues tell truths. Trump just isn’t one of them. Across the country the Los Angeles Times was headlining the following this week:    Trump and GOP repeatedly echo Nazi and far-right ideology as they aim to retake White House One could go on - and on and on - with headlines and stories like this that salt the everyday coverage of Trump in the “mainstream” media. (And by all means, don’t forget that similar treatment was dished to then-presidents Nixon and George W. Bush.)  All of which means that, as noted, Joe Biden is not Donald Trump’s sole - or perhaps even major - opponent in 2024.  That other Trump opponent, as was true with Reagan, is the “mainstream” media that isn’t even close to “mainstream” - much less is it fair or objective. What Americans are swamped with 24/7 is an ongoing political assault on the man Republican voters quite voluntarily selected as their presidential nominee. And all of this when it is only the end of May. There is more of this kind of coverage coming Trump’s way - not to mention similar coverage that will be dumped on whomever Trump selects as his vice presidential running mate. As Americans head into the holiday weekend, the obvious wisdom from the media treatment of Reagan and now Trump is: buckle in. And a special thanks to all of those who put on the uniform and gave their lives to protect America’s freedoms. Happy and Thankful Memorial Day.

Rapper Nicki Minaj was arrested by police in the Netherlands due to an incident involving her luggage, according to multiple news reports. The rapper was reportedly arrested at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam on Saturday because of possession of drugs. Minaj documented the entire incident involving Dutch authorities on video and posted it to her social media accounts with millions of followers. Minaj – whose real name is Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty – was traveling from Amsterdam to Manchester, England. Minaj is scheduled to perform a concert at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester on Saturday night as part of her "Pink Friday 2 World Tour."Minaj wrote on the X social media platform: "They’re trying to keep me from MANCHESTER." The hip-hop music artist said that authorities "found weed" and took her bags "without consent."She added, "My security has already advised them those pre-rolls belong to him."Minaj, 41, recorded the encounter with Dutch authorities. "They didn’t know I was planning for them just like they were planning for me. Me filming every single thing made them really mad," she tweeted. This is what it looks like when people are paid big money to try to sabotage a tour. The 12-time Grammy nominee posted a video of the law enforcement confrontation on her Instagram account – which has nearly 230 million followers. An airport official informed the celebrity rapper that her luggage needed to be searched, adding, "I'm so sorry to say that." Minaj responds, "But isn't that what you planned on doing from the get-go? Why didn't you guys search it before it went on the plane?"An official said that Minaj would be taken into custody for "carrying drugs."The "Bang Bang" rapper replied, "I'm not going in there. I need a lawyer present."As far as the Manchester concert, the official is heard telling the entertainer that they would "try to get [her] there" as soon as possible."They’ve been trying to stop me from coming to every show," the "Super Bass" rapper claimed. "They took my bags before I could see them. Put it on the plane. Now saying they’re waiting on customs. This is what it looks like when people are paid big money to try to sabotage a tour after all else failed. Everything they've done is illegal." See on Instagram The Dutch Military Police confirmed to ABC News that a 41-year-old woman was arrested for trying to leave the country while in "possession of soft drugs, which is prohibited."Marijuana is legal in Amsterdam as long as an individual has no more than 5 grams of cannabis, according to the Netherlands government website.The Co-op Live arena announced that the doors opening for Minaj’s concert would be delayed by 30 minutes to 7 p.m. local time.The hashtag #FREENICKI was trending on X on Saturday afternoon. This is not Minaj's first brush with law enforcement. She and her husband, Kenneth Petty, were ordered to pay $500,000 to a German security guard over an alleged backstage assault two months ago.Like Blaze News?
