thewayneTwo weeks ago saw some notable deaths. Starting with Walker, Texas Ranger.
Chuck Norris was admitted to a hospital in Hawaii with an undisclosed condition and passed away the next day. He was 86. Chuck was the real deal when it came to martial arts: he was a genuine fighter and invented his own style. He fought Bruce Lee in one movie and went on to starring in his own action series, becoming quite a viable icon on his own. Delta Force was one shoot-'em-up what was pretty big for him. Later he moved to television in Walker, Texas Ranger, slowing down his moves a bit as he aged.

Nicholas Brendon, 54, to older fans, will always be Xander Harris on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, initially a slightly buffoonish character in the 'damsel in distress' role who gained some competency as the series went on. He had an identical twin who co-starred in one memorable episode. He had previously suffered a heart attack from a then-unknown heart condition, had several spinal surgeries for a congenital condition, and like many young actors, he was also known to have addiction problems which may have hastened his demise. He is the second Buffy actor to pass away after Michelle Trachtenberg (2025). Brendon also appeared in Criminal Minds, Without A Trace, and Private Practice.

Robert Mueller. The former director of the FBI and a special prosecutor passed away at 81, he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's four years earlier. He served in Vietnam and was wounded rescuing another soldier, earning a Bronze Star. He became a lawyer after leaving the military, ultimately joining the Justice department prosecuting homicides in DC. Later he was appointed to head the FBI by George W. Bush a week before the 9/11 attacks. He then shifted the focus of the FBI to fighting terrorism, an understandable reorientation considering the times, and left the Bureau in 2013.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein brought him back in 20917 as a special counsel to investigate the Russian involvement in the 2016 elections after the President fired the director, James Comey, and that's when the fun began. Mueller's final report on election interference did not exonerate President Trump, but he felt that it was not proper for criminal charges to be brought against a sitting President, that the Senate should fist remove him from office, then charges should be levied. Trump, of course, viewed the report as a full exoneration.

Our "Beloved" President, the class act that he always is, said on a 'Truth' Social post minutes after Mueller's death was announced - direct quote - "Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!".
