In 2017, Dirty Honey became the first unsigned band to top Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs chart with their hit single “When I’m Gone.” The quartet began their journey when guitarist John Notto and vocalist Marc LaBelle joined forces, eventually recruiting bassist Justin Smolian and drummer Corey Coverstone to complete the lineup. Originally performing as “The Shags,” the band officially adopted the name Dirty Honey after LaBelle drew inspiration from Robert Plant’s mention of The Honeydrippers during a Howard Stern interview. Dirty Honey’s musical journey has been marked by significant achievements and collaborations with rock giants. They released their self-titled extended The post Complete List Of Dirty Honey Band Members appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

The Trump-trashing elitist media erupted in outrage when President Trump told ABC White House reporter Mary Bruce she was a “terrible person” and “terrible reporter” and ABC was “fake news.” Bruce was throwing hardballs at Trump and Saudi Arabia’s crown prince. It’s easy for reporters to tout Bruce as a courageous journalist just doing her job. But they all ignored the other half of the equation: Is this what she did with President Biden? The easy answer is “a thousand times no.” As in you could probably list a thousand times she repeated everything Team Biden told her to say. Exhibit A came from a Fox News scoop on September 30. Emma Colton reported on a rare Biden press conference on April 26, 2023 in the Rose Garden. Biden had a note card including a thumbnail photo of Bruce, her name, outlet, and then two questions. The first concerned his reelection bid: “2024: How do YOU view the path forward? How do YOU think about YOUR place in history?” Bruce’s actual question was similar, if more direct: "You've said questions about your age are legitimate and your response is always 'just watch me,' but the country is watching and recent polling shows that 70% of Americans...believe you shouldn't run again. What do you say to them?" If Bruce told Team Biden in advance what she was going to ask, how does she now pose as fearlessly holding presidents accountable? In fact, Bruce relentlessly repeated Biden happy talk about his mental fitness. In February 2024, when special counsel Robert Hur declared he would not indict Joe Biden for improperly keeping classified documents before he was president because a jury wouldn’t find him mentally fit, Bruce underlined everything was just fine, fine, fine. “Biden’s legal team in a letter saying, quote, ‘We do not believe that the report’s treatment of President Biden’s memory is accurate or appropriate,’” she repeated.  Then she added her own supportive spin: “But overall, George [Stephanopoulos], I have to tell you, the image that you get of the President that you take away largely mirrors that of his public persona. He staunchly defends his handling of classified material, has detailed reelection of events from years ago. He is very conversational. He even jokes with the committee. And, yes, he does go on some — some lengthy tangents and tends to ramble, as Joe Biden does.” Days later, when the White House physician Kevin O’Connor released a report on Biden’s health, Bruce sounded like State-Run TV. Biden’s “doctor says the President is fit to serve” with “no new health concerns over the last year,” and no “mental fitness test” was done because O’Connor “didn't think it was necessary and the White House argues the President passes a cognitive test every day just by doing his job.” How does that look now? Dr. O’Connor took the Fifth rather than testify to the House Oversight Committee this year, but Bruce didn’t report on that. Then Biden delivered what became his last State of the Union speech, screaming into the House chamber, and Bruce was typically promotional: “This was a feisty speech that, at times, felt more like a rowdy campaign event than a traditional State of the Union address… the President trying to show voters he is ready for a fight and has what it takes to serve another four years.” Team Trump has every reason to call ABC “Fake News,” since it’s become the very worst network for skewing all its coverage to favor the Democrats. Biden & Co. never called Mary Bruce a “terrible reporter.” She gave them everything they wanted. 

During the final hours of the shutdown fight earlier this month, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) slipped a toxic provision into the continuing resolution that reopened the government. The clause created a special pathway for select senators to sue the federal government, bypass its usual legal defenses, and claim large payouts if their records were subpoenaed during the Arctic Frost investigation.The result? About eight senators could demand $500,000 for every “instance” of seized data. Those instances could stack, pushing potential payouts into the tens of millions of taxpayer dollars. That is not an exaggeration. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has all but celebrated the prospect.Graham said he wanted ‘tens of millions of dollars’ for seized records while victims of weaponization still face shattered lives.No one else would qualify for compensation. Only senators. Anyone who spent years helping victims of political weaponization — often pro bono, while prestige law firms chased billable hours — can see the corruption in plain view. The message this provision sends on the central Trump-era promise of accountability could not be weaker: screw the people, pay the pols.The surveillance of senators was wrong. It should never have happened. But senators did not face what ordinary Americans endured. Senators maintain large campaign accounts to hire top lawyers. They operate out of official offices, armed with constitutional protections such as the Speech and Debate Clause. They do not lose their homes, jobs, savings, or businesses. Thousands of Americans did. Many still face legal bills, ruined livelihoods, and ongoing cases. They deserve restitution — not the politicians who failed them.Graham helped push this provision forward. As public criticism grew, he defended it. On Sean Hannity’s show the other day, he said: “My phone records were seized. I’m not going to put up with this crap. I’m going to sue.” Hannity asked how much. Graham replied: “Tens of millions of dollars.”Democrats will replay that clip across every battleground in the country going into an uphill midterm battle in 2026.Graham embodies the worst messenger for this fight. He helped fuel weaponization long before he claimed victimhood. He urged the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) to pass the Steele dossier to the FBI. As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he did nothing to slow the Justice Department and FBI as they pursued political targets. He even supported many of President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees who later embraced aggressive lawfare tactics. If anyone owed restitution to victims, Graham sits high on the list.RELATED: Trump’s pardons expose the left’s vast lawfare machine Photo by Win McNamee/Getty ImagesFortunately, enough Republicans recognize the political and moral disaster of funneling taxpayer funds to senators while real victims remain abandoned. The House advanced a measure today to repeal the provision. Led by Reps. Austin Scott (R-Ga.) and Chip Roy (R-Texas), the House forced the Senate to address in public what it attempted to smuggle through in private.Thune defended the measure in comments to Axios. He argued that only senators suffered statutory violations and said the provision was crafted to avoid covering House members. He did not explain why any House member who was illegally surveilled should receive no remedy.The Senate leader also claimed the financial penalty would deter a future Justice Department from targeting lawmakers, citing the actions of special counsel Jack Smith. His emphasis on “future” misconduct glossed over a critical fact: The provision is retroactive and would cover past abuses.That defense cannot survive daylight. Repeal requires 60 Senate votes, and not a single Democrat will fight to preserve a payout for Graham. Republicans should not try either. Efforts to strike the measure need to begin immediately. Senators — especially Thune — should commit to an up-or-down vote. If they want to send tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds to Graham, they should do it in public, with the country watching.Washington already reeks of grift and self-dealing this year. If senators protect this provision, that smell will spread nationwide.

Boo-hoo, Lucy Liu.The veteran actress is in the awards season mix for “Rosemead,” the tale of an immigrant grappling with a troubled teenage son. That means she’s working the press circuit, talking to as many media outlets as she can to promote a possible Best Actress nomination.No more peeks at Erivo’s extended, Freddy Krueger-like nails or Grande waving away a helicopter overhead as if it were about to swoop down on them.If you think political campaigns are cynical, you haven’t seen an actor push for a golden statuette. That may explain why Liu shared her victimhood story with the Hollywood Reporter.Turns out the chronically employed star (123 acting credits, according to IMDB.com) hasn’t been employed enough, by her standards.I remember being like, "Why isn't there more happening?" ... I didn't want to participate in anything where I felt like they weren't even taking me seriously. How am I being given these offers that are less than when I started in this business? It was a sign of disrespect to me, and I didn't really want that. I didn't want to acquiesce to that ... I cannot turn myself into somebody who looks Caucasian, but if I could, I would've had so many more opportunities.Liu has had the kind of career most actors would kill to duplicate. That doesn’t play on the identity politics guilt of her peers though. Nor is it fodder for a “woe is me” awards speech ...Rest for the 'Wicked'That’s a wrap!The “Wicked: For Good” press push got the heave-ho earlier this week when star Cynthia Erivo reportedly lost her voice. Co-star Ariana Grande pulled out of her appearances in solidarity.Yup. Not remotely suspicious.The duo made way too many headlines last year during their initial “Wicked” press tour. Why? It was just ... weird. Odd. Creepy. The stars’ emaciated appearance didn’t help, but their kooky, collective affect was off-putting, to be kind.Even the Free Press called out the duo’s sadly emaciated state.They trotted out more of the same for round two, and someone had the good sense to yank them off the stage before the bulletproof sequel hit theaters Nov. 21.No more peeks at Erivo’s extended, Freddy Krueger-like nails or Grande waving away a helicopter overhead as if it were about to swoop down on them.Any publicity is good publicity, right?

Who will ignore senile presidents and laptop scandals without our hard-earned dollars?Think of the children!Never mind that Americans have endless ways to access news, from AM radio to TV, satellite, cable, and streaming options. Heck, just pick up a $20 set of rabbit ears, and you’ll get a crush of local TV stations in many swathes of the country.You have to live in a bunker a hundred feet below the earth to avoid the news.Oliver, to his credit, put his money where his mouth is. Or at least, your money. He set up a public auction to raise cash for NPR stations.Why? Because we’re all going to croak without it.

Alas Oliver doesn’t warrant that ranking ...'Running' on emptyRising star status ain’t what it used to be.Glen Powell seemed like the next Tom Cruise for a hot minute. Handsome. Affable. Unwilling to insult half the country. He stole a few moments during “Top Gun: Maverick” and powered a mediocre rom-com — 2023’s “Anyone but You” — into a $220 million global hit.So when Hollywood handed him the keys to the “Running Man” remake, the industry assumed he had finally arrived. Give him his “I’m on the A-List” smoking jacket.That’s until the remake’s opening weekend numbers came in. Or rather trickled in. That $16 million-plus haul just won’t cut it.Now Powell’s next film is under the microscope. The project dubbed “Huntington” just got a last-minute name change to “How to Make a Killing.” The film follows Powell’s character as he tries to ensure he’ll inherit millions from his uber-wealthy family. That’s despite getting cast out of the clan’s good graces.The movie now has a Feb. 20 release date, hardly a key window for an A-lister like Powell.Then again, his time on the A-list may have already expired.

Donald Trump is a wholeheartedly pro-manufacturing president, and he’s definitely here to help — with a dizzying array of tariffs.

Much-touted pharmaceutical deals could end up giving the president new leverage.

A warped history of justice, Tarantino-style.

The Trump administration is right to make nuclear power part of the U.S. energy solution.
