Red is trying to set the new record for aggressive self-owning.

Keep posting your losses, Red. It is usually good for a laugh

Add sarcasm to the list of things Ward can't absorb from a written message. 

Of course it's not astonishing.  Answer my actual point, if you are able.

Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickles down... But he didnt know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellows hands.

GOP need to end political brinkmanship and come together with Dems on real solutions.   Even a supporter of migrant rights like me can see that we need to help other countries develop a structure to absorb some of this massive flow of economic and political refugees.

A guy stabbed and killed a guy on the train in Los Angeles, they said it was self defense and no charges were filed.

Also in the world, Musk is hanging out with the President of Italy, he is working on communications satellites for Italy, etc.

And here in Anaheim, the Walt Disney Company sent me a collector's edition print for their 100 year anniversary, the print was made special for their neighbors here in Anaheim. Disney is a great company, I would be willing to make movies and television shows for Disney anytime, Universal is my favorite movie studio, but Disney is a great company too, and Disneyland brings 50,000 tourists to Anaheim everyday to sell stuff to, we have an amazing economy thanks to Disneyland. And Disney is spending a lot more money here right now and in the future. Disney is great.

In Mexico, new high speed trains are up and running, and more are being built, and Mexico has also opened new airports, and Mexico is building new aqueducts for water, lots of investing is happening in Mexico.

In Colombia the money from the coffee is helping the people, they have many community programs that are funded by money from coffee. So, not only is the coffee great, but the money is doing great things in Colombia.

And I am trying to bring Sammy Hagar and Shakira together to help to make some new Beach Blanket Bingo movies in Malibu at Westward Beach, with all of the creative people in Malibu, the movies can be made on a low budget and everyone can have fun, they can show the movies on Netflix, or whatever. I also told Shakira about Universal Studios here in Hollywood and I told her it is a great place to make movies. And Charlie Benante and John Travolta were hanging out, and I told them to come make movies at Universal. Lots of great stuff can happen now that the strikes are over.

Salute,

Tony V.

You made no point.
When you do I will answer.
I am not holding my breath.

The racist Harvard beat goes on.

The now-deleted Affinity Celebrations for Graduates page on the Harvard website boasts events for
Graduates with Disabilities Indigenous Graduates,
Latinix Graduates
LGBTQ+ Graduates,
Arab Graduates,
Black Graduates
Asian American


The list goes on, but of course the websites have been taken down.

Jews in America are arming themselves in record numbers.
They should form the JADM  'Jewish American Defence Militia', their best hope.
Should all vote Republican from now on.

I will try to relay your suggestions. As you are famously someone who continuously self-circumcises, your words should carry a lot of weight.

On the issue of Jews, today is Steven Spielberg's Birthday, he is awesome, when I worked at Universal our 2 main directors were Spielberg and Ron Howard. I watched Ron Howard as he was filming the movie "Apollo 13," it was great.

If I owned Universal right now, I would put Spielberg to work making a movie about the Trail Of Tears of the 5 Civilized Tribes including the Cherokee, I need to do a DNA test but my Mother said that I am part Cherokee, it would be great to get Spielberg to tell the story of the Trail of Tears on film.

I have a lot of good ideas.

Salute,

My family always told us we part Cherokee through an ancestor who married a Scotsman. When we did ancestry when it came to being part Cherokee?
Nope. Not one bit.

The revelation was my mothers father was not the Grandpa Percy we always heard about but a Jewish man!

No wonder I have always had an affinity for deli.

Gold is at record high prices, which is great for Battle Mountain, Nevada, and other areas where they mine for Gold. Mexico, Colombia, etc, lots of places benefit from high Gold prices.

And in Battle Mountain, you can still buy land for $1,000 per acre. And when I was a cook at a casino in Battle Mountain then you could rent a mobile home for $100 per month in the trailer park. I lived in an awesome old travel trailer from the 1940s or so, it had amazing wood paneling on the inside.

Battle Mountain is a great spot for the homeless people and for the refugees, etc. And they can do trade with San Francisco, etc. There is a college in Elko for the people who wish to study.

Salute,

I look forward to doing the test. I was also told that my Great Grandfather was the Chief of Police of Denver, Colorado. I will eventually get around to doing the test. And I was told that we have French Royalty in our family tree who escaped to America during the French Revolution. I have Olive Skin so we will see. Some people have asked me if I am Italian or Middle Eastern, and I do not know, I need to do the test. I think I am French and Cherokee, etc, but I need to do the test and see.

Love Jewish deli! Beverly Hills has GREAT Jewish delis. And Aaron Spelling used to hang out at Canter's, etc.

Salute,
