Queen Elizabeth used to make all of the stars in England "Sirs" and "Dames" because she knew the power of the stars to help to guide society.

If I was Biden I would be using all of the stars to help me. And the same with Mayor Bass, she needs to use the stars to help her.

I would have all of the peaceful old hippies helping me, I would have Carlos Santana, and Goldie Hawn, and Cher, and Meryl Streep, helping to guide the homeless people in Los Angeles and helping to guide the homeless toward farming and making cheese and living on communes, etc.

And for the war in Ukraine, I would go to George Lucas for help, and to Francis Ford Coppola, and to other geniuses.

Marlon Brando marched with Martin Luther King and Brando's star power helped to shine a light on King's mission.

The stars can help to make the world a better place, and many stars feel alone and crave attention and they would love to help to make the world a better place. And the stars were honored when Queen Elizabeth made them Sirs and Dames. The stars want to help to make the world a better place.

Salute,

Tony V.

H.G. Wells knew that the artists and the writers can help to lead society and that the artists need to be a part of our desire to improve society. I may not agree with all of the political ideas of H.G. Wells but I agree that the artists can help to improve society.

And there was Woodstock, and there was Willie Nelson doing Farm Aid, etc. The artists play a role in society. And Michigan loves Ted Nugent, when Ted talks the people in Michigan pay attention, and while Ted might not support Biden, Ted does support America and freedom and good human rights, and all that America stands for, and Ted also supports hunters donating meat to feed the needy at soup kitchens for the homeless, etc.

The stars and the artists can help to lead society.

Salute,

Tony V.

I think we can improve ourselves without the assistance of the likes of Ted Nugent.

This morning on the television news they had a lady who was talking about how we can manifest our realities, and she was talking about how we can have a vision of how we want to live, and then about how we can work to manifest the reality that we want to live. Manifesting our realities is great in a lot of ways, and as leaders we have our vision of the reality that we want and our leadership ability is all about enrolling other people in our vision to help to manifest our vision to become our reality. Leadership is all about having a good vision, and then enrolling other people to manifest your vision into becoming your reality.

If we have a vision of gardens in Napa where the homeless people can live and work on the farm and grow food, and make cheese, etc, then we simply enroll other people in our vision and make it happen.

The best leaders are the ones who have the best visions and who go out and enroll other people in their vision to help to manifest their vision into becoming their reality.

And it is the same with making movies, you have to enroll other people in your vision and then work together as a team to make your vision into a reality.

With Ukraine, we need to have a vision of peace and prosperity in Ukraine and then we can enroll people in that vision to manifest that reality.

The leaders who have the best visions and who are good at enrolling other people in their visions to make the visions a reality are the best leaders.

Salute,

Tony V.

Looks like the lunatic fringe of the GOP is sending a gift to Democrats - a tax reform proposal so idiotic that even Grover Norquist hates it.

Even Red cannot defend the hike taxes and kill grandma agenda of the republican party.

5 Memphis cops  fired, arrested and charged with 2nd degree murder.

No administrative leave

No ongoing investigation

This video must be heinous.

Durham

Four years

Millions of dolllars

Thank God there is now a Select Sub-Committee on the Weaponization of Federal Government to look into this scandal.

heh

On one of Mr. Barr and Mr. Durhams trips to Europe, according to people familiar with the matter, Italian officials - while denying any role in setting off the Russia investigation - unexpectedly offered a potentially explosive tip linking Mr. Trump to certain suspected financial crimes.

Heinous it is, released now.

The slow and horrific beating to death of Tyre Nichols clearly demonstrates that some cops, no matter their color, will "bash the tripe out of you"/ "do you in", with batons, fists, boots etc, when you're unarmed and helpless.
It's not all cops, most cops seem to be good, honest and true, protecting and serving the best they can "24/7/365".
Heaven help you if you meet up with the other kind though.

The community residency requirement, if that is made standard, could help with the problem.  It's both the culture and the difficulty of filtering out crypto-sociopaths or just standard bullies who want to pass along what Dad did to them.
