The 2024 election is on the horizon, and it appears former President Donald Trump has all but Iocked up the Republican side of the contest.
Despite, or perhaps because of, the continued efforts from the left, Trump’s popularity and poll numbers have spiked, particularly with minorities, which is terribIe news for Democrats.
Joe Biden is the incumbent, but he is getting a challenge from Robert Kennedy Jr. as a third-party candidate, and there are rampant rumors about Biden getting replaced on the 2024 Democrat ticket. Biden’s age and declining mentaI state are clearly an issue, but the Democrats also do not have a particularly deep bench in terms of potential replacements.
There have been rumors of California Governor Gavin Nesom prepping to run, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris, but both are widely regarded as failures and barring an unexpected bid from the likes of Michelle Obama, the left has precious little to offer.
This leaves us with a likely Biden/Trump slugfest in 2024. Sensing a Democrat worst-case scenario, namely, President Trump getting another term, some Hollywood celebrities have aIready begun talking about leaving the country should Trump run it back in 2024.
It should be recalled that numerous Hollywood liberals vowed to leave the country in 2016 should Trump win. Predictably, exactly none of them did, but that doesn’t mean the usual suspects won’t be threatening the same in 2024.
Recently, Barbara Streisand made some well-worn promises to leave the country should Trump win. Promises, promises.
In an interview promoting her one-thousand-page autobiography, Streisand said this: I will move. I can’t live in this country if he became president.”
Dana Plato’s cause of death, confirmed
Warning: This article talks about a possible suicide. Please read carefully and take care of yourself.
Dana Plato was born on November 7, 1964, in Maywood, California. She was an actress best known for playing Kimberly Drummond, a caring character, on the popular TV show Diff’rent Strokes, which ran from 1978 to 1986. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, she became a teen idol.
Aside from Diff’rent Strokes, Dana appeared in many other TV shows and movies. According to IMDb, some of her TV appearances included The Six Million Dollar Man (1975), Family (1976), What Really Happened to the Class of ’65? (1978), Hello, Larry (three episodes), The Facts of Life (1979), CHiPs (1979 and 1980), High School U.S.A. (1983), The Love Boat (1974), and Growing Pains (1985).
Dana Plato appeared in several movies, including Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977), Return to Boggy Creek (1977), California Suite (1978), and Prime Suspect (1989), along with some smaller, less known films.
Sadly, Dana passed away on May 8, 1999, in Moore, Oklahoma, at just 34 years old. People wonder what led to such a heartbreaking and early end to her life.
How did Dana Plato die?
According to her IMDb bio and other sources, Dana Plato’s death at first seemed to be an accidental overdose of the painkiller “Loritab.” But 13 days later, on May 21, 1999, a coroner ruled her death a suicide because of the large amount of drugs in her system and her past attempts to take her own life. Some of her friends and people who knew her disagreed with this ruling.
On the day Dana Plato died, she had just done an interview with Howard Stern, hoping it would help restart her career. She and her fiancé, Robert Menchaca, who was also her manager, were on their way back to California in their motor home. They stopped at Menchaca’s parents’ house in Moore, Oklahoma, for a Mother’s Day weekend visit. Dana wasn’t feeling well, so she took some Lortab (a painkiller) and a muscle relaxer, then went to take a nap with her fiancé. When he woke up, he found her unresponsive next to him.
Dana Plato had been dealing with substance abuse for many years before her death. Her difficulties were often linked to the fact that she struggled to find more acting roles after Diff’rent Strokes ended.
We hope she has found peace now.
