PAUL RYAN<\/strong>. Trump\u2019s \u201cs\u2014hole\u201d remarks \u201cunhelpful\u201d and \u201cunfortunate\u201d. \u201cThe first thing that came to my mind was very unfortunate, unhelpful.\u00a0But you know what I thought of right away? I thought of my own family.\u00a0My family like a whole lot of people came from Ireland on what they called coffin ships and came here and worked the railroads. The Irish were really looked down upon in those days,\u201d Ryan said detailing how his ancestors emigrated from Ireland and ended up in Janesville, Wisconsin.\u00a0I hear all these stories from my relatives about \u2018Irish need not apply.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s not how a president should speak. It\u2019s not how a president should behave. Most of all, it\u2019s not what a president should believe. We\u2019re better than this.<\/p>\n \u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) January 12, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n THRIFTY SHOPPER OF THE WEEK<\/strong>.

A taxi driver thinks the cancellation of his trip to Britain is hilarious.<\/p>\n PANAMA<\/strong>. U.S. Ambassador resigns over Trump remarks<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cAs a junior foreign service officer, I signed an oath to serve faithfully the President and his administration in an apolitical fashion, even when I might not agree with certain policies.\u00a0My instructors made clear that if I believed I could not do that, I would be honour-bound to resign. That time has come.\u201d<\/p>\n PROVINCETOWN<\/strong>. Last week\u2019s \u201cbomb cyclone\u201d meant historic flooding for this LGBTQ town and resort<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cI have never seen anything like this,\u201d Dept. of Public Works Director Rich Waldo said on Monday. \u201cI\u2019ve been talking to people who have been here a long time and they said that it\u2019s nothing they\u2019ve seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n A REALLY BAD PLACE<\/strong>. Where James Franco is<\/a>.<\/p>\n FLORIDA<\/strong>. State announces it will provide PrEP for free<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cFlorida providing free PrEP in all 67 of its local county health departments is significant because it provides those who are most at-risk for HIV, but are uninsured, another tool in their HIV prevention toolbox that they did not have before,\u201d says Daniel Downer, Early Intervention Services Program Coordinator at\u00a0Hope and Health Center of Central Florida<\/a>\u00a0and a\u00a0HRC HIV 360\u00b0 Fellow<\/a>. \u00a0\u201cIt also shows that health officials understand the important role PrEP has in the response to HIV and AIDS in the State of Florida.\u201d<\/p>\n ALL THE MONEY<\/strong>. Mark Wahlberg refused to approve Christopher Plummer as replacement for Spacey unless he was paid $1.5 million<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cWhat he said was, \u2018I\u00a0will not approve Christopher Plummer unless you pay me.\u2019 And that\u2019s how he (expletive)\u00a0them,\u201d says one person.<\/p>\n MARVELOUS<\/strong>. Mrs. Maisel to stream for free this weekend<\/a>: \u2018The streaming giant announced Thursday that \u201cThe Marvelous Mrs. Maisel<\/a>\u201d will be available to stream at no cost\u00a0starting Friday, January 12 at 12:01am local time and concluding at 11:59pm local time Monday, January 15, using the Prime Video app for TVs, connected devices including the Fire TV and mobile devices, and online.\u2019<\/p>\n TONYA HARDING<\/strong>. Her agent has resigned.<\/p>\n It appears Tonya Harding is up to her old tricks. Her loyal agent\/publicist Michael Rosenberg resigned today over Tonya\u2019s insistence that reporters be fined $25,000 if they ask her anything about the past. Here\u2019s his FB post\u2026\u201dI, Tonya\u201d is \u201cGoodbye, Tonya!\u201d pic.twitter.com\/5BqLuLLLDE<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Christine Brennan (@cbrennansports) January 11, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n MUSIC VIDEO OF THE DAY<\/strong>.
