DT today:

Luc Longley was a vital part of the 90s Bulls dynasty, yet was not featured in Michael Jordan's Last Dance documentary, with a former teammate not shy to say
how disappointed he was.

Fuck Australians and their sense of entitlement.

It gets less credible every time you pull out that particular rant. We already know you are a murderous bastard without the guts to enact the carnage you wish on the world yourself.

You object to metal detectors, electronic security cards, fences, gates, guards/wardens at every school, locked doors ...to keep all students safe from armed invaders intent on murdering them?
And safe from any of their rogue fellow students out to shoot them?

In the Antelope Valley there is also the issue of race riots on the campuses of the high schools.

We need to neutralize the racism and hate with love during times of peace so that when the bad people try to cause riots the students refuse to riot. The same way that youth who are taught healthy conflict resolution skills will solve disputes peacefully instead of using violence. We need to bring all of the youth into the auditorium and have a meeting and we need to tell them that people are going to try to sow the seeds of discourse and racism and hate, and the youth need to know how to deal with those situations without being pawns for the haters who are trying to cause problems.

We also need to have undercover cops in the high schools like on "21 Jump Street" along with security and uniformed cops and gates and fences and cameras, etc, etc, etc.

Salute,

Of course you do. It is the racist in you.

How did the series treat Steve Kerr, or John Paxson? Do you even know, or care?

It is sad seeing how Val Kilmer's health is now, he was such a great actor, and it was sad seeing his last role in "Top Gun, Maverick." "The Doors" was fantastic, and he played so many great roles. But, he lived a good life, now he is just kind of reflecting on Facebook. He talks about his buffalo that he used to have in Santa Fe, etc.

And it is interesting that the President of Ukraine is an actor, actors make great leaders, like Reagan, and Arnold. JFK studied acting too, and he worked on his voice and speech, etc.

The world loves actors.

Christina Pascucci

One of the biggest problems in California is that our leaders have repeatedly underinvested in education, and specifically, early literacy.

60-70% of the children in California do not read at grade level by third grade. Statistically, those kids are exponentially more likely to end up homeless or in jail.

Meanwhile, we are arguing about banning books our kids cannot even read.

Let us stop the distractions and focus on these foundational issues first.

Christinaforcalifornia.com

---------------

We need to educate our people, and we need to build schools and libraries instead of prisons.

And the coal mining jobs are not coming back. We need to train and educate our people for the jobs of the future, and we need to train them to be doctors and scientists and teachers, etc.

We also need to teach our youth healthy conflict resolution skills, and parenting skills, and relationship skills, etc. We need to better prepare our youth for life.

We have prisons which are full, and it SUCKS. We need to reach the children when they are young and we need to turn them into fine upstanding ladies and gentlemen who benefit society. And we need to help the foster youth, and the children without fathers, etc. There are things the children need to learn to prepare them for life.

We can also educate the youth about fentanyl, etc.

I would much rather build schools and libraries instead of prisons.

Salute,

A rising number of our new immigrants have a BA Degree or better.

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2018/09/14/education-levels-of-u-s-immigrants-are-on-the-rise/

We need to send the educated immigrants to Kentucky and to Arkansas and to Tennessee, etc, to teach our people how to read. We need teachers all over America. And we need to buid nice libraries, etc.

And Latin America needs teachers as well.

The prisoners also need to be taught how to read and write. In Bolivia they shorten their sentences if they read books to promote literacy and to better educate the people. I recommended that all of the prisoners read "On Becoming a Person" by Carl Rogers.

Reading really is fundamental.

A Boeing plane came apart during flight and almost sucked the people out of a hole in the plane. It was a brand new plane. Do not fly on Boeing planes, Boeing needs to fire everyone and hire all new people and they need better training, etc.

Meanwhile the French Air Bus is safe.

And we have Lockheed which is building a new super sonic high speed passenger plane, so those will be the way of the future, and Lockheed can build the new jets in the Antelope Valley, and they can build new production facilities in Mojave, etc. And Lockheed is a good company and the planes will be fantastic.

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.

I would love to have money to travel right now, but not on Boeing. And Italy and Greece and the South of France are all great this time of year. Spain would be nice too. Just not on Boeing.

On the issue of Harvard, Sabrina Cervantes did Post Graduate Study at Harvard. Sabrina is a rising star in the California Democratic Party, along with Christina Pascucci who is running for the Senate. They are both good Roman Catholic women who support organized labor and social services and education, etc.

We need to make more great films which glorify an education such as "Dead Poets Society" with Robin Williams, and "Renaissance Man" with Danny DeVito, and even "Animal House" at least promoted the thought of college life. We need to make lots of great education and reading and college themed films and television shows.

There was an episode of "Happy Days" where the Fonz went to a Library and he said there were hot chicks in the Library, and so in real life all of the young guys started going to the Libraries to meet girls.

We need to glorify reading, and we need to glorify Libraries.

There is a movie with Johnny Cash where he plays a humble adult man who has to learn how to read, we need to make more movies like that.

Salute,

Tony V.

Ukraine requested thermal coal from Australia.
Rightist ScoMo sent tens of thousands of tons of it.

Ukraine has again requested coal from Australia.
Leftist Albo so far has 'refused' the request.

Indeed.
Today it's the Protestant King, Catholic Pope...or the Ayatollahs.
I don't choose the Ayatollahs.

Long live the King! [and the Pope].
