Don Caron is the right man at the right with his great parody piece, “Fifty Ways To Leave The White House.” I just had to highlight this extremely timely song. Thanks Don, you did yourself well. You have just been chosen as Calamity News and Politics Jukebox Choice of the Day! Enjoy. DSM.
Hawaiian singer and lyricist IZ died in 1997. Fortunately for us his music lives on. The first time I ever heard “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” was the Judy Garland version from the movie classic, The Wizard of OZ. For many years, that version was my favorite. However, I switched my allegiance when I heard this version by IZ. My pick for the Calamity News and Politics Jukebox Choice of the Day is the big Hawaiian’s beautiful rendition. Enjoy! DSM
Well, I finally stepped out of my comfort zone. I have left the realm of non-fiction and jumped into the hot and steamy, heart racing, pulse pounding danger and intrigue of contemporary suspense! “Chasing The Spider” follows a young girl running from The Speaker of the House. A man with the power and resources to hunt her down and kill her without consequence. Can the three handsome men she meets on the road save her from the peril she finds herself in?
Check out my new adult thriller-“Chasing the Spider” !

The jukebox choice of the day is coming from Dave Shadrick. Love this song. Thanks, Dave. Enjoy!
Demi Lovato sings “Commander in Chief”
The Lincoln Project gives us another great ad. This one features singer Demi Lovato singing her powerful song, “Commander In Chief.” Please vote. This is the most important election of our times.
I was talking to David Shadrick recently and asked him what he wanted done with his remains after he died. Dave said he wanted to be buried. I volunteered that I wanted to be cremated. Dave asked me if I believed in ghosts. I told him, no. He laughed and said he wondered what it would be like to be able to haunt whatever place or whatever person you wanted.
We could make this a party game, I thought. The only rule is that participants must say the first thing that comes to mind when asked, “where do you want to haunt?”
The following are some places we decided we wanted to haunt.
#1) Area 51
#2) The Nestle’s Chocolate Factory
#3) Bicycle seats
#4) Disneyland
#5) Food Network Studio
#6) Marvel Studio
#7) WWE dressing room (Roman Reigns, yes!)
#8) The VA Help Desk
#9) The International Space Station
#10) Shower Rooms at the local college
Happy Halloween 2020!
Our friend T.K. McNeil found this Nathan Margoliash parody of the great Billy Joel hit, “We Didn’t Start The Fire,” while scouring YouTube posts. When he suggested I make it the Calamity Politics jukebox choice of the day, I said, “why not? So here you are. Be sure to check out Nathan’s YouTube channel. Enjoy. D. S. Mitchell
I was surfing the web and came upon Steve Hofstetter’s great video. I had to share. Thanks Steve good job. For other Steve Hofstetter video’s you can find him on YouTube.
Time is running out. We only have one mother, let’s work together to protect her. One of the greatest challenges of the 21st century will be climate change. The Calamity Politics jukebox choice of the day is the Michael Jackson hit, “Earth Song.” Watch for the upcoming Calamity News and Politics videocast with David Shadrick on Climate Change. The Democrats have a plan to reduce pollution and plan to make a huge commitment to reversing climate change. #VoteBlue2020 #RidenWithBiden
