AN UNDER-APPRECIATED PROBLEM WITH THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY IS HOW HE AND HIS STAFF CONTINUOUSLY NORMALIZE DISASTER. BECAUSE WE WITNESS NEW SCANDALS, GAFFES, COVERUPS, HYPOCRISY, MISDIRECTION, INCOMPETENCE, ATROCITY, CRONYISM, IGNORANCE, RACISM, XENOPHOBIA, TREASON, EMBARRASSMENT, LIES, DYSFUNCTION, POWER GRABS, WAR ESCALATIONS, ENVIRONMENTAL ASSAULTS, MISOGYNY AND MORE ON A DAILY BASIS, THE MAGNITUDE OF EACH IS DIMINISHED IN OUR CONSCIOUSNESS BY THE SIMPLE VIRTUE THAT WE HAVE BECOME SATURATED. BECAUSE OF THIS, WE AT ZENRUPTION WILL BE PUBLISHING A DAILY CURATION OF THE EVENTS THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED, FROM VARIOUS SOURCES, INCLUDING LEAKS WITHIN THE WHITE HOUSE, SO THAT WE CAN FULLY EXPERIENCE THE LEVEL OF DISASTER OUR EXECUTIVE BRANCH HAS BECOME AND THE IMPLICATIONS IT HAS ON ALL OF US.

It's amazing how we went from "Russia is Fake News" to "Can I Pardon Myself?" in less than a week.

Mueller has Trump "totally freaked out". He keeps changing passwords, switching out WH staff & interns on a dime and "listening for bugs".

Initial briefing thoughts: Mooch would be better PressSec than Comms Dir. Too late to deescalate w/ press - POTUS already declared war.

Vehemently is a good word. Spicer was *pissed*. Priebus is too. He's probably next.

Sean's resignation/Scaramucci appointment = bad bad bad news for Priebus, who blocked AS from WH earlier this year.

— Glenn Thrush (@GlennThrush) July 21, 2017

Like Priebus, Bannon, Kushner, Conway, Ivanka - and the President himself - Scaramucci, the new WH comms director, has no govt. experience

— West Wing Reports (@WestWingReport) July 21, 2017

Also, Bannon and Priebus increasingly not in Russia-related meetings, per multiple ppl. That is a choice they're making.

Woodland Hills, California Indian Wedding by Robles Video Productions

Today’s wedding film celebrates Rishma and Varun and after hearing the enchanting story of how the bride and groom met, it is no wonder that Rishma fell head over heels with her Maharaja. It doesn’t hurt either with Varun’s medical background with an emphasis in animal care to really get a girl all starry eyed. This enchanting film will leave you believing in love over and over again! Maharani Rishma was dolled up by none other than Nida Gazi of Beauty By NG. With glowing skin, perfect pink lip gloss, and a sophisticated updo with a perfectly placed silver gold tikka; this makeup artist flawlessly executed this bridal look for the big day. Varun made a grand entrance perched atop a majestic horse. One of the most treasured moments of the wedding event was undoubtedly the bride and groom’s first look. The tear that formed in Varun’s eyes as he took in his lovely bride left us in tears just as much. The Marriott Warner Center Woodland Hills was the premier location both the wedding and reception and for the wedding day Floral Passion transformed the venue into a floral and fauna haven. Large blooms of peach and white florals lined the petal scattered pathway leading to a stark white mandap draped with fresh flowers. The wedding reception was an ultra classy affair with romantic blooms becoming the theme of the grand celebration. Rishma slipped into a gorgeous orange lengha ensemble that just glistened as she danced the night away. The night was full of dance performances, laughter, and the immeasurable memories captured by Robles Video Productions. So Cal Event Planners spearheaded planning and design with Dina Douglass capturing all the still action. Hit play and relive this night celebrating this coveted couple!   http://dlvr.it/NcPH4R

Angelo and Jo Dale Mistilis. Photo by Rosie Vassallo.

If you were among the boys who got to call Dina, Joey, John and Erin’s daddy… Angelo, instead of Mr. Mistilis, then your part in old Oxford is a done deal. And here’s one for you, and yours.

Sitting in his living room with me in rapt attention, at one point Angelo said, “Have you ever seen the statue of Bobby Holcomb in the cemetery now?”

Bobby Holcomb grave in the Oxford Cemetery.

I already knew this was a heartfelt subject. I gave a respectful nod, “Yes sir, I posted a picture of it once on Facebook and some knew about Bobby, but many others didn’t know the story. I’ve heard you were on that University High team? Will you tell me?”

A little town’s heartbreak rolled across North Mississippi and it began as Angelo Mistilis was the first teammate to get to Bobby Holcomb’s motionless body. Amory was the visiting team at the field where now stands the Ole Miss baseball stadium. That is the spot where Bobby was rolled over and Angelo looked at his face and instantly knew they were all in trouble. As best as I can convey, with my remembrance of our talk, and the sights and sounds of 1951 Oxford not too hard to imagine, Angelo told me…

Angelo Mistilis, Ole Miss annual photo.

“Bobby was a little guy with narrow shoulders, but he was fearless. He’d knock your socks off! We were playing Amory and one of their boys with the ball got turned around and Bobby slammed into his back, head first, with all he had, and the sound of it made everyone look. Within moments, the coaches and refs knew there was a tragedy unfolding. You could have heard a pin drop, the game didn’t matter. The stunned silence only broken by footsteps as Oxford’s fathers began streaming down from the stands, and the crying mothers beginning to huddle together and pray. The ambulance came and carried Bobby away, forever.

“Half of the Oxford was holding vigil at the hospital when, with the doctors who had been back there knowing, the town was told at around 2:00 in the morning to go home and get some rest. I awoke to my mother sitting on the edge of the bed crying. Bobby had died in the night.

“Half the town’s 4,000 citizens gathered in and around Douglass Funeral Home on the Square. Outside, a hushed Oxford looked on as one-by-one, the buses bringing every head coach and team of the old Little Ten Conference arrived. A long line of Monroe County cars followed the Amory team for their town’s never-imagined road trip back to Oxford. The funeral was held at, the then little, North Oxford Baptist Church, on out past the end of North Lamar proper, up old Highway 7 toward Abbeville. As the hearse was opened, as all of Bobby’s teammates gathered around the Holcombs, as the school boy pall bearers lined up in two rows of four, the Oxford Police radio crackled the word that the line of cars was still leaving the Square.”

Now Angelo is in his 80s and Bobby is 19 forever. I never knew Bobby, or Ed Moak, or Johnny Tatum, but I know fate dealt their families life’s toughest blow. One that would always be remembered by the Oxford of their day, with Bobby’s death still felt first in the heart of Angelo Mistilis.

With the passing of six decades, thousands of Oxford’s citizens have cheered every OHS touchdown scored on Bobby Holcomb Field. But Bobby was more than just a name, and his story is more than worthy of being retold. And Angelo Mistilis is more than any small town could ask for.

REST IN NOISE -- ANOTHER LEGEND LOST.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on the late, great Eric Eycke (1962-2017), former vocalist for Raleigh, N.C.- based hardcore punk band, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, performing live at the Cathay de Grande in Los Angeles, CA, on July 12, 1984. 📸: Dina Douglass.

PHOTO OVERVIEW: "CORROSION OF CONFORMITY ended up staying at my apartment after their first show at the Cathay de Grande in Los Angeles. My friends down the street hailed from Raleigh, so they asked if I wouldn’t mind hosting. This photo is of Eric Eycke, who sang with COC at those first LA shows, and who also sang on the band’s "Eye for an Eye" debut. When COC posted about Eric’s death in 2017, they wrote that in those early days with Eric, they were “trying to live up to the likes of BAD BRAINS and BLACK FLAG.” I guess my apartment was more inviting than a van, and since none of us seemed to need any sleep at that age, we all stayed up most of the night drinking and laughing. The band gave me two COC T-shirts as a thank you gift, which I wore for years but lost long ago."

BECAUSE THE "MAD MAX" SAGA ALWAYS DID HAVE HARDCORE PUNK CRED -- HERE'S THE PROOF.

NOTE: I understand "Furiosa" finally came out today, which is also pretty kool. And so the "Mad Max" saga lives on over 40 years later.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on D.O.A.’s Joe Keithley, a.k.a., "Joey Shithead," rhythm guitarist/vocalist of Vancouver hardcore punk band D.O.A. (alongside an overjoyed fan), unknown venue, c. early '80s. 📸: Dina Douglass.

"D.O.A.'s Joey Shithead (Joey Keithley) currently serves as a city councilor in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. I don’t remember where I shot this, but the guy who jumped on stage looks ecstatic."
