Seeing all your loved ones pass. Prayers,” one fan wrote. Another passed along their condolences, saying, “61 is too young. I’m so sorry.” RELATED: Clint Eastwood’s Longtime Partner, Christina Sandera, Dies At 61 I’m sure nobody is more stunned than Clint Eastwood (94) to lose his partner Christina Sandera. They met when she worked at his restaurant in Carmel-by-the-sea, California ten years ago. I honestly thought she was way younger than 61 and that is still way too young to go. pic.twitter.com/rxtVavNQI9 — Sophie Grenham (@sophiegrenham) July 21, 2024 While Eastwood is a renowned actor and filmmaker, Sandera maintained a much lower profile. Beyond her relationship with Eastwood, little is known about her, and she was not active on social media. Eastwood also shunned the spotlight, and the couple chose a quiet life together in Carmel-by-the-Sea, a small coastal town where Eastwood once served as mayor. So sorry to hear about Christina Sandera. She was so young. Her family and Clint Eastwood our in our prayers. — LlewellynFawr (@llewellyn_fawr) July 20, 2024 Despite their private life, Sandera accompanied the Gran Torino star to many events, particularly those related to his films. At the 2015 Oscars, where his movie American Sniper was nominated for six awards, including Best Picture, Eastwood brought Sandera as his date, marking their first public appearance together. Heartbreaking news about the passing of Christina Sandera, Clint Eastwood’s partner for the past decade. Her life was clearly a testament to love and companionship. Sending condolences to Clint and her loved ones. #RIPChristinaSandera #US pic.twitter.com/tu6avlr8h2 — Done Kwon (@volatile_kwon) July 20, 2024 Click for next Article The post Clint Eastwood Issues Statement After Longtime Partner’s Passing appeared first on DoYouRemember? - The Home of Nostalgia.

Rumer Willis took to Instagram with poolside snaps featuring her sister Scout LaRue as she turned 33. The sisters showed off their gorgeous bikini bodies as they hung out with Rumer’s daughter Louetta, their mom Demi Moore, and a few friends. Rumer wished her Scout a happy birthday in her caption that read, “River Monsters for @scoutlaruewillis birthday. No place I would rather be than by your side. My leg bruise is courtesy of my first time trick riding on a horse woohoo.” Fans express admiration for the Willis sisters   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Rumer Glenn Willis (@rumerwillis) Rumer’s post got thousands of likes from her followers and several comments praising the sisterly bond she shares with Scout. “You girls are so beautiful and sweet, I’m glad you guys had a great time,” someone gushed. “Your family is so beautiful! Yall have so much fun!” another quipped. RELATED: Rumer Willis And Daughter Join Sisters Talullah And Scout In Matching Pink Swimsuits A few critics shared their thoughts, too, chiding Rumer for exposing her bum in the second slide. “Why would you show your back in front of the whole world?” a troll asked. “I’ll never understand why people post pics of their ass,” another added but was met with rebuttals from Rumer’s defensive fans.

Speaking about foreign conflicts, J.D. Vance in his first outing as a VP nominee said that “sometimes, it is just none of our business and we ought to stay out of it,” throwing the ahistorical commentariat into a tailspin.  Vance on foreign conflicts: Sometimes, it is just none of our business and we ought to stay out of it. pic.twitter.com/UZg1snfgDn— Acyn (@Acyn) July 20, 2024 It is so unusual and refreshing to see the senator from Ohio saying, in clear terms, that he cares more about his own country’s borders than faraway conflicts in distant foreign lands, that one tends to forget that this was the traditional foreign policy consensus of the American republic. In fact, “neutrality”  and balance of power was the traditional Anglo-American instinct throughout the 19th century, the last such era of multipolarity similar to the one we are entering.  George Washington set this clear guideline in his Neutrality Proclamation of 1793, during the French revolutionary wars: “Whereas it appears that a state of war exists between Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, Great-Britain, and the United Netherlands, of the one part, and France on the other, and the duty and interest of the United States require, that they should with sincerity and good faith adopt and pursue a conduct friendly and impartial toward the belligerent powers.” The trend was standard. It was continued by President Ulysses S. Grant during the Franco–Prussian War in the 1870s: “A state of war unhappily exists between France on the one side and the North German Confederation and its allies on the other side.” North Americans had kinship and ties on both sides, so he made another Proclamation of Neutrality barring the republic from choosing a side in the conflict.  Theodore Roosevelt, who was absolutely interested in American power in Latin America, acted as a peace emissary in the Russo–Japanese War of 1904, trying to bring the belligerent sides on the table after declaring official neutrality in the conflict and announcing severe penalties for those who joined or lobbied for either side of the conflict.  America wasn’t unique. Great Britain declared an official neutrality during the American Civil War, citing commercial interest and kinship on both sides of the belligerence, although without forbidding individuals to take part on either side per the dictates of their conscience.  As I wrote, realism isn’t isolationism, but it is theater prioritization. Vance might end up as potentially the most consequential vice president in modern American foreign policy by reorienting our priorities. He might want to think about bringing the time-tested “proclamations of neutrality” to conflicts which are of no direct strategic interest to the U.S., including penalties for those who lobby for the U.S. to take a side.  The post Trump II Should Bring Back ‘Proclamations of Neutrality’ appeared first on The American Conservative.
