Arnold Schwarzenegger Addresses Russian People On Twitter

Arnold Schwarzenegger addressed the Russian people in a Twitter video about Vladimir Putin's "illegal war" on Thursday (March 13th).

The former California governor said, "I know that your government has told you that this is a war to denazify Ukraine. Denazify Ukraine? This is not true. Ukraine is a country with a Jewish president, a Jewish president I might add whose father's three brothers were all murdered by the Nazis. You see, Ukraine did not start this war. Neither did nationalists or Nazis. Those in power in the Kremlin started this war. This is not the Russian people's war."

In addition to praising Russian protesters, he also addressed the country's troops directly, saying, "To the soldiers who are listening to this, remember that 11 million Russians have family connections to Ukraine, so that every bullet that you shoot, you shoot a brother or a sister. Every bomb or every shell that falls is falling not on an enemy, but it falling on a school or a hospital or a home."

Wendy also spoke on returning to television, saying, "This is what I would love to say to my Wendy watchers: Keep watching because I'm going to be back on the Wendy show bigger and brighter than ever.

Bob Saget's Fatal Injury Might Have Been Caused By 'A Fall Onto A Carpeted Floor'

According to an incident report released on Tuesday (March 15th), there were no "definitive conclusions" when it came to the injury that led to Bob Saget's death. Saget died on January 9th at the age of 65, due to "blunt head trauma."

Chief Medical Examiner Joshua Stephany, M.D., who performed Saget's autopsy, indicated that "the amount of force necessary to cause the fracture, coupled with the fact that the skin on the back of the head was still intact, led him to believe that the injury was most likely caused by 'something hard, covered by something soft.'"

The report continued, "As mentioned earlier, most of the suite was carpeted. The headboard of the bed was lightly padded and set slightly out from the wall. These are listed here as possible mechanisms of injury, but nothing was located in the room that allows for a definitive conclusion."
