BREAKING: Donald Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center implodes in humiliating fashion as droves of talented celebrities abandon the legendary performing arts center in protest.

Trump is radioactive with the people he wants to impress most...

Actress Issa Rae announced on Instagram in a brief statement that she is cancelling her "An Evening With Issa Rae" event slated for next month. Tickets will be refunded.

"Unfortunately, due to what I believe to be an infringement on the values of an institution that has faithfully celebrated artists of all backgrounds through all mediums, I’ve decided to cancel my appearance at this venue," she wrote.

Trump made himself chairman of the center on Wednesday. Earlier this week he removed Biden appointees from the board and rammed in unqualified cronies including Second Lady Usha Vance and White House Chief of staff Susie Wiles.

Mega-successful television producer and writer Shonda Rhimes — the woman behind hit shows like Grey's Anatomy, Bridgerton, and Scandal among others — resigned as treasurer of the center's board yesterday.

She posted a quote from JFK on her Instagram: "If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him."

Legendary soprano Renée Fleming resigned as artistic advisor to the center and while she avoided naming Trump, she praised David M. Rubenstein — the center's former chairman who was ousted.

Singer and songwriter Ben Folds stepped down from his role as advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra, which the Kennedy Center oversees.

"Given developments at the Kennedy Center, effective today I am resigning as artistic adviser to the N.S.O. Mostly, and above all, I will miss the musicians of our nation’s symphony orchestra — just the best!" Folds wrote on Instagram.

Adam Weiner of the band Low Cut Connie has also canceled an appearance at the center next month.

"Upon learning that this institution that has run nonpartisan for 54 years is now chaired by President Trump himself and his regime, I decided I will not perform there," he wrote on social media, adding that friends and fans were going to be "directly negatively affected by this administration’s policies and messaging."

This is the kind of rejection that infuriates Donald Trump more than anything. He has long wanted to be accepted by America's cultural elites. Instead, they see him for the cruel, fascist, incompetent failure he truly is.

How to handle food cravings without depriving yourself.

We all have food cravings from time to time. Life is full of things to crave. The best tasting foods have sugar and other addictive ingredients.
Allowing yourself to indulge, in moderation, can actually help you eat healthier in the long run. Have you ever been out, avoided the yummy desserts,
then went home to overeat because you felt so deprived? I know I have.

Every now and then we can indulge our cravings without feeling guilty. Finding a healthy version of what you’re craving can get the craving off of your
mind while putting something healthy into your body! For nearly all unhealthy cravings there’s a healthy substitute.

Let’s explore.

If you are craving a Candy Bar….
Try a few squares of dark chocolate made with at least 70% cacao.

If you are craving ice cream —
Try greek yogurt with honey and walnuts.

If you are craving candy —
try frozen grapes.

If you are craving a sugary latte..
Try coffee with a dash of milk and cinnamon

If you’re craving french fries —
try sweet potato fries.

If you’re craving potato chips ..
try lightly salted nuts or roasted chickpeas.

Next time a craving comes along see how creative you can get in finding an alternative “fix”.
Healthy eating IS possible. Your health is worth the effort.

Cancer, Alzheimer’s and dementia are all on the rise. What’s causing this
dramatic increase? If you know someone suffering from these issues, what
can they do about it?

Here is one habit practiced by our world’s healthiest elders and centenarians.
Developing this habit can give you immediate results.

Eliminate Household Toxins:

Most household products are not so good for you. Obviously, we are laying out some pretty major information here.
Each small improvement is adding up to a greater improvement in your personal health and the collective’s well-being.
Making a conscious choice in the kinds of products you use daily makes a personal and global difference: body care
products, cleaning products, hygiene scents. Plus switching to eco-friendly can actually save you money.

Our body really responds well to things that are from the earth.
What can we change so that we can alleviat the burden of our
bodies to have to try to process and deal with all these toxins?

5 Steps to Eliminating Household Toxins:

1. Choose Plastic-free: From Kitchen to bathroom supplies.
2. Source quality water: Spring water is best. Buy a filtration unit.
3. Eco-Products: Especially if it goes down th drain or in the trash.
4. Skincare & Beauty products matter! Your skin asorbs it all.
5. Be Microbe Friendly: Like your gut, your skin has a microbiome.

My suggestion is to use products that contain the least amount
of ingredients that you cannot read or understand. My rule is to
not buy anything that contains more than five ingredients. Those
ingredients need to be things I am familiar with.

Blessings to all,
