Donald said that if NATO countries don't pay their way, and are attacked, as President he would not defend them, and in fact would encourage the attackers to keep attacking them.
It was on my tv screen.

Now that last bit was a very dumb thing to say.

He is a very dumb man supported by dumb people and terrible folk who make their living robbing the weaker of his supporters blind.

Daily Telegraph today:

"Military shambles: Defence Force runs short of troops, weapons.

There are more people marching out of the Australian Defence Force than there are marching in, despite 'critical' need to swell the ranks to their biggest levels since the Vietnam War."

#####

Not much good having tanks, got no land borders with anyone.
Not much good having helicopters that crash (they were all grounded, stripped and then buried).
 
Caught totally by surprise by China's war talk, there's now a mad scramble to arm with the latest weapons.
No surprise there are more marching out than marching in.
Seems to be another case of "Go woke, go broke".

Ring, ring..."hello enemy, is it ok if we bomb you at 3pm Friday?
Oh, that's not suitable...then what about 10am Thursday?"

War crimes allegations ( no one charged yet).

Fire back at a house from where you're being fired at, then dead women and children are found inside, they want to charge you with murder, and no1 radio host is not on air anymore to save you.

Rockwell was a great company in my hometown, which built the Space Shuttles, the Shuttle program was an over $100 Billion program. I had a step dad for a few years who was the Boss of the Shuttle Program. We built the Shuttles out in the desert, then we flew them to Florida and launched them from Cape Canaveral. I went to Florida with the Space Shuttle program, it was great, we lived right on the beach. We should have been rich like Elon Musk.

Rockwell is gone now, Boeing bought them to stop the competition and then Boeing shut Rockwell down.

Lockheed builds planes out in the desert too, and so does Northrup, both are great companies.

Lockheed is working on a new high speed passenger plane, it will be fast and quiet, with a quiet sonic boom.

Salute,

Here is a link with info about the new plane that Lockheed is building...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_X-59_Quesst

It is going to be a great plane, which will replace the Concorde.

In America we are all equal, and we have the Civil Rights Acts of 1964, and 1968, that guarantee that we all have an equal shot for jobs and housing.

People are breaking everyone up into groups, when will it end? Are we going to have to do an DNA test to prove our ethnicity before we can get a job or housing? Of course not, we have our Equal Opportunity Act, and our Fair Housing Act.

We cannot have Apartheid in the USA, like they do in Israel and with the Palestinians, none of that could happen here, because they all have equal rights in the USA. The Jews and the Palestinians are all equal in the USA. McDonald's is an equal opportunity employer, and you do not have to do an DNA test to prove your ethnicity to get a job, everyone is equal at McDonald's. And the same with Housing, you cannot rent housing based on ethnicity in the USA, we all have an equal shot at housing.

And with the bullshit about the Holocaust they first had to separate the Jews from the Germans in order to persecute the Jews, if they were all equal under the law like in America then that could never happen. We could never have a Holocaust in the USA because everyone is equal here.

We had all of the bullshit with Black racism and slavery, which was all horrible, and that is why Brando marched with Martin Luther King Jr, everyone marched, and we got our Civil Rights Acts of 1964, and 1968, so a man could be judged by the content of his character instead of the color of his skin.

Prisons break people up by race and they fight the prisoners against each other in order to control the prisons, watch "Blood In and Blood Out" etc, it is all bullshit, we are making all of our prisoners racist. Watch "Brubaker" with Robert Redford, that is what we need, we need new wardens and we need to progress as human beings. And we need to teach the prisoners how to be self sustaining and how to make an honest living so that they can have an honest life with a real job. Teach them how to install stereo systems in cars, teach them how to groom dogs, teach them how to weld, teach them the construction trades, etc.

America can never have Apartheid, and America could never have a Holocaust, and America can never have what is happening in Israel right now. In America all men are created equal by God our creator with equal human rights.

It cannot be like "Animal Farm" where some pigs are more equal than other pigs. We are all equal, and "Animal Farm" could never happen here.

We cannot reach a point when people have to do a DNA test when they apply at a University to see what their ethnicity is to see if they get accepted. It is all about the content of their character and not the color of their skin.

People need to all be equal in America, or it is not going to work.

People are saying that a Republican could never win in California, but we elected Arnold twice, and if Arnold was running right now then he could win again.

I think Steve Garvey has a chance of winning the Senate position.

Trump is nuts.

And Biden is too old.

We have 300 million people, and this is the best we can do? With Harvard, and Yale, and Stanford, and this is the best we can do? We need for the best to rise to the top, that is how America is supposed to work, where are our best and brightest people?

Salute,

Tony V.

How many times have incumbent presidents been primaries and still won?

Biden is not going to get any younger buy show me a more effective president in the last half century.

Biden is doing a good job, I just worry that he is getting too old. I would rather have Condoleezza Rice.

Bambu, there is a new television show, and the characters are all surfers from Australia, it is "Wild Cards" on KTLA Channel 5 in Los Angeles. The actress is pretty, and she is funny. I guess it is a Canadian show. The women are beautiful on the show. The writing could be better, but the show is just getting started.

And maybe John Travolta can make movies at Universal Studios with Charlie Benante.

Also, Oliver Stone wants to shoot films at Universal in Orlando, Florida. That would be cool. With Marli Buccola, and Mahlagha Jaberi.

And we can make Beach Blanket Bingo movies in Malibu, and Fun In Acapulco movies in Acapulco.

54% of the Modern Services Economy is Streaming Services such as Movies and Television Shows.

Do everything you can to knock him out of the top two.

Porter and Schiff will make great candidates for our Senate seat.

Schiff is not bad, we could live with Schiff in office, but I am not a fan of Porter. Even Lee is better than Porter. And I wanted Christina Pascucci to be in the race.

We will see what happens.

Garvey and Schiff are the main two in the race, I think.

On the issue of street vendors in Anaheim, we need to give them permits and zoning where they can operate. Street vendors are important Entrepreneurs like Carl Karcher who founded Carl's Jr here in Anaheim, Carl started with a Hot Dog Cart in Los Angeles. We need to allow the Entrepreneurs to make money in Anaheim so they can create businesses such as Carl's Jr which creates good jobs for people, fast food workers earn $20 per hour now, and plus they pay taxes. Everyone benefits from Free Enterprise.

And in Lancaster they have special events where they have Food Trucks and Food Vendors at the parks for the community. Anaheim can have Food Trucks and Food Vendors at the parks, etc.
 
I support Free Enterprise, and I support giving the Street Vendors permits and zoning and also having Food Trucks at the parks, etc.

They have loosened up the street vendor regulations in San Diego. Bacon wrapped hotdogs seems to be the most popular dish downtown with fruitas during the day in the neighborhoods and tacos at and tomales night.

My advice if you ever open a restaurant, or a food truck, is to hire beautiful young women to serve the public, and in Anaheim the women also need to be bi-lingual and they need to speak Spanish, hire the hot young Mexican women here in Anaheim and you will be successful if you serve good food.

There was a food truck with 2 old guys that did not have any customers, and there was a food truck with 2 young hot Mexican ladies, and the one with the Mexican women was getting all of the business. People were lined up at the food truck with the 2 women while there was no customers at all for the truck with the 2 men.

In Battle Mountain we had beautiful waitresses to serve the public, and we had a 17 year old woman from Mexico who made $300 per hour in tips, the customers loved her. And we had a waitress who was a Daughter of the Vice President of the Bank of New York, and we had a beautiful lady from Pennsylvania, we had great waitresses. Our Casino had the most beautiful waitresses in Battle Mountain.

It pays to hire beautiful women to serve the public.

Salute,

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.
