At 57, I've often wondered about the pressures of aging and maintaining beauty in a society obsessed with youth. This morning, we're sharing an eye-opening article from Upworthy that dives into the emotional and societal impacts of losing youthful beauty. I'll share my own personal struggles and beauty routine, the big bucks behind the beauty industry, and the line between natural and enhanced looks. It's an honest conversation about aging gracefully and the emotional rollercoaster it can be.
Switching gears in the second half, we're tackling some hot-button current events. From Hunter Biden's latest headline to a rather shocking report from the New York Post about Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign team manipulating Google search results, we've got a lot to unpack.

Hello and good morning. You beautiful people. I hope you're doing great. We are going to get right to it, over to my ex-feed, my ex-file, and here we go, in the glam department.
Speaker 1:
Women share what it's like to lose their youthful beauty, and this is from Upworthy. I have not read this article yet. I might read a couple of paragraphs for you. A paragraph or two, and then you can finish reading it. I know I will, because this is something that I've been thinking about. It crosses my mind from time to time for myself that I am 57 years old and what it's like to get old and lose my youthful beauty. And how can I do that gracefully, we will see.
Speaker 1:
Humans have long made much ado about beauty, so much so that the word has become loaded with pressures, especially for women. In addition to inspiring painters and poets, beauty is now a billion-dollar industry filled with countless beauty products peddled by beauty influencers that we have to contend with. Who's considered beautiful is quite subjective, but some people are just universally attractive. Women in particular may spend a lot of time and money to enhance or create their beauty, and some simply have naturally beautiful features. But regardless of how they got there, they've all known and often envied women who turn heads when they walk into a room. We also know what kind of beauty comes with a certain kind of power to attract and influence. Now, I don't know about all of that, I don't care about power and influence, but what about when that surface beauty starts to fade with age? What happens when the supple skin starts shriveling? Full palates thin out, full pouts thin out, perimenopause weight hits and women who were once considered young and beautiful no longer turn heads? Now let me I will say this there are lots of women, supermodels, celebrities my age and older, who look fantastic. Now I wonder, though, if that's because they spent a lot of money on surgeries, botox, great skin care, or is it just genes? I don't know. You can tell when you look at a woman, though, of a certain age, if they've had work done, like Jeffy and Pat Gray, and them like to say, three cuts to clown face. But there are also women who may use a little bit of enhancement, but you'll never know, because they do look like a natural beauty, and then there are some that are natural beauties.
Speaker 1:
Now, it takes a lot of effort for me to look the way I do in the pictures that I post. Oh, you know, I look at myself sometimes when I don't have any makeup on, when I don't have my eyebrows on, when I don't have my eyelashes on, when I don't have my wig on, I look at myself in the mirror like my God. My husband is a saint I don't know why he is still with me because I look at myself in the mirror and I'm like, oh, gross, gross. But then I put on all my makeup. I put my eyebrows, my lashes, my hair sometimes my hair, sometimes not my hair. Um, and I, you know, I feel like I look okay and decent and human again once I get all fixed up. But anyway, I went down a rabbit hole. I didn't mean to go down. So we're going to back it up and we're going to go to our next story, and we are going to talk about, now, the hunter biden thing. Hold on, we're gonna hold on, we're gonna get there in a minute, I promise. Uh, oh, this one. This is the first thing I saw this morning.
Speaker 1:
Kamala harris's campaign team is editing news headlines in her favor without outlets' knowledge, so I don't know how they do this, though. How can they do that? How can they get into Google and change the headlines? I don't know. This is from the New York Post. Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign team has been silently editing news headlines in Google search results to make it seem like major news outlets are on her side. According to a report, how do they do that? The altered headlines, all paired with a paid for by Harris for president banner, were changed without news outlets knowledge. How are they doing this? Axios reported this on Tuesday. Nearly a dozen publishers were swept up in the faux headline campaign, including major companies like the Guardian, reuters, cbs News and the Associated Press and PBS. Wow. Even smaller publications like North Dakota's WDAY Radio also saw its headlines changed. Wow, how are they doing that? I want to know. I didn't know that they could do that.
Speaker 1:
The ads include links to real articles from news outlets, but the headlines and descriptive text had been edited to cast a supportive light toward the 59 year old presidential hopeful. I want to know how they're doing it. For example, one ad one ad that ran alongside an article from the guardian shows a headline that reads vp harris fights abortion bans. Harris defends repro freedom, and then includes supporting text underneath the headline that reads VP Harris is a champion for production freedom and will stop Trump's abortion bans. Another linking to an NPR story reads Harris will lower health costs with supporting text that says Kamala Harris will lower the cost of high quality, affordable health care. Axios reported, according to a spokes, people from the affected companies like CNN, usa Today and NPR all of which have published flattering content about Harris in recent weeks weeks said they had no idea the companies were tied up in the campaign. I'm not wow. You probably should go finish reading that. Um, that's interesting. I would like to know how and why they're doing, or why. We know why they're doing it, but how they're doing it is a mystery.
Speaker 1:
All right, candy sold at target, walmart dollar general stores recalled due to salmonella threat. I'm not going to go over there. Read that you can. It's on my x file. You can go check it out. I only posted it out there because this is happening a lot, it seems.
Speaker 1:
Now I want to know why. Why is this happening a lot? Is it because it's just? Are we getting lazy and low quality? Are there no inspections now? What's happening? Are the rules loosening up? What is happening? Why are there so many things like this now being recalled? Remember the meat, the deli meat not too long ago being recalled due to the same thing. So candy sold at Walmart, target, dollar General and other stores across the US has been recalled. Okay, we already said all that. Palmer Candy Company, sioux City, iowa, is recalling its white-coated confectionery items because they have the potential to be contaminated with salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. So I don't know why this is happening. Maybe somebody who's an investigative journalist would like to check into that. Maybe, perhaps, maybe it's not as glamorous as something like the Hunter Biden story. Of course, nobody's doing anything about that either. Speaking of hunter biden, uh, there's a couple of things with this now. Hunter biden asked the us embassy in italy for help landing barisma deal while joe was vp.
Speaker 1:
This is report from new york post, so I read that headline only to read the next one. Elites decide Hunter Biden can finally be a scandal now that Joe is out. So you're going to hear a bunch about Hunter Biden now, and I think they're putting them out there to get the attention off of Kamala and especially Tim Walz. They want you to be outraged about Hunter still and again, because they know that we've been outraged before about Hunter. So they're putting this story out there. Now it's okay, since Joe is not going to be running for president. Now the elite say now you're allowed to be outraged. And here's the story. Here's the story. Now, here it is, here's the story. Here's the story, now, here it is. Be outraged, look over here, don't look over here, at kamala and tim and their horrendous things that they want to do to america.
Speaker 1:
Oh, this tim walls guy, it just keeps getting worse and worse and worse. I have a lot to say about him. I may have to dedicate a separate episode to him, because damn, wow. So just be prepared for all of that. And yeah, that's coming all right. A neurologist this is the scariest thing people can do to their brain. So I know I keep saying so. I'm sorry, mr sean's, I don't like it either. I am am, so I apologize. A neurologist, this is the scariest thing people do to their brains, mainly inactivity. She wants you to get out there and exercise because it helps, and that is true, I believe.
Speaker 1:
And one last thing it looks like Gaze Against Groomers account on X has posted a thread about Jazz Jennings. You need to read this. I first heard about Jazz Jennings from what's the girl I used to follow, kelly J King. She has talked about her before on her YouTube channel and has provided video of because Jazz Jennings used to have a TV series I guess a reality show, I think it was on Bravo and so Kelly Jean Keene shared some of that. Now go read this thread over there. It's on my X-File. It's from Gays Against Groomers.
Speaker 1:
It is horrific and I wish Megyn Kelly would highlight it too. It is horrific. This is a boy who had sex surgery to remove his organs, tried to cut off his penis, his little penis, and tried to make a vagina. It didn't work. Split, oh my god, you go. This is what tim walls wants to do to. All that because this guy, this kid, was like 17, he was not of age when all of this happened and the surgeons oh my god, the surgeons that did this they were trans themselves seemed like they didn't know what the hell they were doing. Like, like they got their doctor degree out of a Cracker Jack box. It's horrible. It's horrible. These parents of Jazz Jennings should go to jail personally, if you ask me.
Speaker 1:
Alright, question of the day. Okay, this is such random stuff. Question of the day. Okay, this is such random stuff. Question of the day when you're driving in your car and you have your air conditioner on, do you put it on auto to to make it? Do you put it on auto or do you manually put it on a fan and a temperature? My husband likes to put it on auto, I like to put it on manual, I like to control what comes out of the car. So I'll put it. You know, I'll put it, I'll adjust the fan accordingly and I'll put it way down on low the temperature, that. So how do you do it? And you're in your air conditioning in your car? All right, I gotta go. You guys have a great day. Thank you for listening. Bye.
