So what were you wanting to discuss?

[jmmengel]

Sure sign of a DumbAss: The Dow hits all-time high and not a word of
credit to the President.  One correction and DoomsDay is here and it is
all Biden s fault.

Take a bow DumbAss of the Year, again!

Hmmm. 
What sent the Dow plunging ?
What has given us 18 per cent inflation since 2021?
Bidenomics.

I guess if I were to define my community as an American, I would say my community includes people of all races and religions, I have neighbors who speak Spanish who are part of my community, etc. My community is not based on the color of my skin or the language that I speak. And the Crystal Cathedral has lots of Asians, and I love the Asians, and I have had dear friends from the Philippines, and I had a roommate who was the daughter of a Chinese General.

California is a crazy place, and people are all coming here from all over the world. When I worked at Universal Studios we had 25,000 guests per day, and the population of Battle Mountain, Nevada, is only 5,000 people, so I met more people in one day than someone in Battle Mountain would meet in a whole life-time. Hollywood is crazy, and people from all over the world come here.

And we have the best schools, people from all over the world are coming here to Chapman film school, that is a wonderful local resource. Of note, some of the student films might cost $50,000 to make, so they might have production value, and some of the people might be highly trained and talented. I met a hot Blonde woman from Sweden who was coming to Chapman film school, I met her on the train and we talked about making movies the whole way, and she promised to hire me if she found success, I need to make Business Cards to hand out to people in situations like that, I should have given her a Business Card with all of my info on it.

In Hollywood it is hard if you try to define ones community, because my community has people from all over the world. My community is not based on the color of my skin, my community has people from all over the world. I might even marry an Asian wife, you never know. We will see what God has planned.

Salute,

breakfast time in bambuworld.
Switched on tv, to be confronted with:
"Shots fired during Super Bowl Celebration".
"10 people injured, 2 people arrested".

The 'wild west' is back.
Fire shots in the air to celebrate, just like in the movies.

'The shots fired outside Union Station, 10 minutes after the rally had ended'.

Good people with guns.

Just another of the myriad moments of trigger pulling pointing the finger to why we must desaturate many many firearms from among our population here in the United States. Better border control, properly funded would go a long way to slowing this problem heading south and further destabilizing the population centers there.

That is what your news meant to tell you this morning.

Good people with guns.

At least 850

Good people need to have guns....because bad people have guns.

Super Bowl drew123 million viewers, an all time record, 21 million more that the 2020 game also won by the Kansas City Chiefs over the 49ers.

Taylor Swift and her romance with Travis Kelce (KC star) had a  lot to do with the increase since the game drew a ton more women viewers than the last one.
In an event known also for its TV commercials there were three that appealed to religion. He Gets Us had two showing people washing the feet of others, ala Jesus, and the third centered on prayer and narrated by Mark Wahlberg. Both ads spiked high on viewer attention and were chosen since the game came just a couple of days before Ash Wednesday.
MVP Patrick Mahomes began his victory response by saying All glory  to God !
The religious advertisers must have been pleased.

The He Gets Us ads are just a continuation of the White Christian Nationalists grift.

Too many guns

[jmmengel]

Good people with guns.

The overwhelming majority.

[Yankguy1]

Did you take a poll?

[Oiled]

Good people with guns.

The overwhelming majority.

In the past few years, the percent of gun deaths from suicide has been 54-60%.  Guess the good people get pretty depressed.

The post was informational.

I was walking through the parking lot at CVS and someone was playing Johnny Cash, that was cool.

Paramount is preparing to be sold, I hope that good new owners buy Paramount and I hope they create good local jobs and I hope that they are altruistic in their neighborhood. I hope they build a film school in their neighborhood and I hope that they hire local workers to work at the studio.

I personally would rather own Universal, but I wish the best for whoever buys Paramount. I hope that locals buy Paramount, I hope locals are hired for the jobs, and I hope that Paramount is altruistic in their neighborhood.

And right now if I owned Universal I would have Marli Buccola, and Mahlagha Jaberi, working, and I would hire Oliver Stone to make projects at Universal in Orlando, Florida. And Beach Blanket Bingo movies in Hollywood, and Fun In Acapulco movies in Acapulco.

A good friend in the entertainment industry told me that I need to find a mentor to help to make my current project, and that would be great, and I am open to having a female mentor as well, we will see what happens. I would love to have a Bungalow office at Universal and I would love to start shooting my movie, I just need to make the right connections and get things going on.

The Oscars are coming up, I would love to produce a party like Norby Walters did with "Night of 100 Stars." But, right now I would be lucky to even get to go to one of the parties, the people are lucky who get to attend the parties. And right now all of the limousine companies are booking up. I think the Park Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles would be a good place for an Oscar Night Party with an outdoor party and outdoor bar there at MacArthur Park, and the best chefs can cook, the best bands can play, etc, and then the stars can sleep in the rooms there at the Park Plaza Hotel.

Sad about the violence at the parade, and I think Missouri needs more Asian immigrants, and more teachers, and better schools, etc. We need fresh new immigrant blood to mix in with the Americans in Missouri, etc, and we need to improve education, etc. And Kiwanis International can help in Missouri, etc. And the Cub Scouts can help, and the Girl Scouts, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.
