I had a Black History professor in community college who is an amazing teacher, she is from Haiti, and she is an expert on American History. Her specialty is the Great Depression, she studied what caused the Great Depression, and about how life was like during the Great Depression, and about what was done to end it, and about what was done to make sure that we never have another Great Depression.

The name of the Professor is Professor Marks Ellis, and when I had her she was a Professor at Antelope Valley College, but now she is a Professor at Columbia University in New York.

They should put Professor Marks Ellis on the History Channel on television, and also on Public Broadcasting. She can teach everyone about History, plus she is a great role model for young Black girls.

Salute,

Bambu, the Black people have good lives in Memphis, Tennessee, and in Birmingham, Alabama, etc, there are some nice places in America where the Black people have great lives. And while I have never been there, there is also Harlem, in New York, and I bet Harlem is nice for the Blacks. And also I have not been to New Orleans yet, but New Orleans would not be New Orleans without the Black people.

The first person who I drove as a Limousine Driver was Herbie Hancock, I drove Herbie from Hollywood to the Airport, Herbie has a great life here in Hollywood.

Things are good for the Blacks in America in a lot of ways. We have made a lot of progress, America is better now for everyone.

Salute,

Danny Trejo is opening a taco restaurant in London, England...

https://www.restaurantonline.co.uk/Article/2023/09/27/Hollywood-actor-Danny-Trejo-to-bring-Mexican-brand-Trejo-s-Tacos-to-London

I bet the people in England are going to love the tacos, and maybe Danny Trejo can spark a wave of new Mexican restaurants in England, and maybe Danny Trejo can help to improve relations between Mexico and England.

Cheech Marin made a movie with Emma Samms in Australia named "Shrimp on the Barbie" that brought the Mexican-American culture to Australia. Maybe Danny Trejo can help to bring the Mexican-American culture to England.

Extremely humbled to receive a recognition from California League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC).
 
Growing up in the great City of Anaheim I was always inspired by the tireless efforts LULAC made in ensuring Mexican Americans and Latinos were represented equitably.  I pledge to continue the great work they have done in my community. 

The Mission of the League of United Latin American Citizens is to advance the economic condition, educational attainment, political influence, health and civil rights of the Latino(a) population of the United States.

It is important Latinas(o) have a seat at every table where decisions are being made so we can effectively represent the voices of our community!

So much gratitude @ca.lulac

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

We have Kiwanis International and Youth For Christ and other groups to help.

And for the gangs we have Father Boyle and Homeboy Industries.

Plus we have the Wellness Center in Orange, and the Mental Health Association in Santa Ana.

We are blessed.

Salute,

Tony V.

They caught the guy behind the murder of Tupac, and more information will come out, but here are a few thoughts...

It took decades to catch the guy behind the murder because it did not fit the narrative that people were trying to make in their efforts to cause a fight between the East Coast and the West Coast, they wanted for the killer to be from New York so that they could blame it on a fight between the East Coast and the West Coast, and so they could fight Americans against each other, but instead the killer was from Las Vegas and it all stemmed from a fight outside an elevator in Vegas, and it had nothing to do with New York. They were trying to find a New Yorker to charge with the crime, but the crime was committed by a guy in Vegas so they were looking in the wrong place and it took decades to solve the case.

Our enemies love it when we fight among ourselves. And some places like the Democratic Republic of the Congo never reach Actualization because they are always too busy fighting among themselves.

Here in the USA there was W who wanted to help the people of Latin America, and fucking Bin Laden stole the focus and stole the energy and resources. We should have been doing work in Latin America instead of fighting in Afghanistan and in Iraq. That money and effort should have went to help poor children in Latin America and to make things better here.

And right now during peacetime we need to be making television shows and movies, etc, for the Arabs, etc, and we need to teach them the ways of peace, and we need to teach them the value of peace. With peace you can reach Actualization, and we need to teach everyone that. And you cannot build with a gun, and you cannot win hearts and minds with a gun. Ariana Grande and Shakira can win the hearts and minds, and Dolly Parton, etc. We need to be involved with the entertainment in Afghanistan and in Iraq and in the Arab nations, etc.

Anyhow, the bad guy who killed Tupac was from Vegas and he was not a New Yorker, and that is why it took decades to solve, it did not fit their narrative as they sought to make the East Coast fight against the West Coast. And it shows you how we must be proactive in our efforts to keep the peace, and it supports the need for programs such as the Peace Corps, etc.

On the issue of gangs, we have Homeboy Industries and Father Boyle.

Salute,

Tony V.

Yes, we can all win by helping the people of Latin America to live better lives and to improve conditions in Latin America.

George W. Bush wanted to bring us together as a team from the Top of Alaska to the Bottom of Chile to make things better for all of us. W stated that we have some of the poorest people in the world right here in our own back yard and W wanted to help them. W is still alive, and he can still help in Latin America, W can join Kiwanis International, etc.

In Kiwanis International here in Anaheim we found out from our Chief of Police where the worst neighborhood in Anaheim was, and then we went into the neighborhood and we knocked on doors, we then got people together to clean up trash and to paint over graffiti, etc, and we gave the citizens all of the information on the Landlords who owned the properties in the area, etc. That was in 2010 and that neighborhood is still nice, we cleaned it up and it stayed nice. And no one had to pay us, and Congress had nothing to say about it, we can help to improve our neighborhoods without help from our Government. And we can do the same things in Latin America and in Mexico, we can organize groups such as Kiwanis International and Youth For Christ and people can go in and improve the situation in Latin America.

Salute,

Tony V.

Groups such as Kiwanis International and Youth For Christ and others can help in Mexico, we can get help from the Government as a bonus but we can help the people of Mexico and of Latin America even without the help of the Government. In the USA our Government is Of the people, By the people, For the people, so I would expect to get help from our government as we help the poor people in Mexico, etc. I have been sending ideas to Vice President Harris.

Kiwanis International has 6 million members, and Youth For Christ has 1 million members, and we have other groups that can help in Mexico, and the Catholic Church can help in Mexico, etc.

People can get organized and can help in Latin America. We also have Father Boyle and Homeboy Industries, Father Boyle has the answers for El Salvador, etc.

We can also organize to help the refugees as they come to America. Right now we have the United Farm Workers, and the Teamsters, which will help the refugees, and other groups will help the refugees.

My friend Jon is playing tonight with the band "No Reaction" on the Boardwalk in Venice Beach. If you are in the area I am sure it will be great.
 
Here is a video of Jon from a song that they dedicated to me one night at a club in Venice Beach...

I lived in Anaheim in my youth right after college. Down the road from Disney. One of my favorite places. Learned Omaha hi-lo stayed at a place called Club Continental Apts. Beached at Newport.

Very cool, Anaheim is a great city, I am blessed here.

This apartment is nice, and I have good neighbors, and a swimming pool, and barbecues with natural gas piped in. There is a park in one direction that has tennis courts and an amphitheatre, and then there is a beautiful park in another direction with the original Carl's Jr next to it so I can buy food from Carl's Jr and I can eat in the park, it is great. We also have a Calvary Chapel Church in my neighborhood on the other side of the park. And we have great markets, etc.

My favorite house in my neighborhood is a simple Mid Century Modern, all white with lots of palm trees.

I saw Hugh Laury at the market, and lots of stars shop there, you never know who you will see at the market.

Anaheim has been a blessing for me.

Salute,

Donald Trump is here in Anaheim today, he flew in during an air show on the beach and was seen by the crowd.

We need for some sane Republicans to speak truth to these zombies who are blindly following Trump. Condoleezza Rise is awesome, and she needs to speak up right now to the Republican party. George W. Bush needs to speak truth to the Republican Party, Jeb Bush needs to speak up, and others.

I went for a nice walk to the store today, and I think I saw David Hasselhoff while I waited to cross the street. That is a fun thing about Anaheim is stars come here, you see stars at the market and at the parks and  on the sidewalks. Orange County has a lot of stars here, I need to find someone to help me make my movie and publish my book. Anyhow, it is fun, you never know who you will see. You might see Ariana Grande at the market, you just never know.

Salute,

If you want to win the hearts and minds of the Arabs then the best way is to be the ones who are making the movies and television shows for the Arabs. And also News and Magazines, etc.

Today is National Silent Movie Day, so here is my Silent Movie that I made at USC film school...

https://youtu.be/GJ2wBMgs-lQ

We shot it on 16 mm Black and White film, and the guy did a fantastic job on the Editing, and the whole team did a great job on the Sound. It is professional quality. The film student was from Turkey, and he entered our film in a contest where the winner got to be an Assistant for Spielberg, but our film did not win the contest. The film student, Bekir Serdar Cakir, wanted to open an American style movie studio in Turkey and he wanted to make movies for the Arabs, that was his dream. I lost contact with him after an earthquake in Turkey, I hope he survived the earthquake.

Salute,

Being a home to immigrants is the culture of America, freedom and equality for all and a home for the immigrants.

And the Mexicans are locals here, the Border is only 100 miles away from Anaheim, this land belongs to all of us. Condoleezza Rice explained it to the nation well when she was with W's administration, if we close the Border then we lose freedom, freedom at the Border is important. When I went to Mexico with Youth For Christ back in the 1980s then we did not even need a passport, and we did not have any problems.

Also of note is that we will soon have 1 million Persians here in Los Angeles, and they all want to be rich and live at the top, they are buying expensive homes, and expensive cars, and they are living in our best neighborhoods. The Mexicans are building the housing for the Persians, and the Mexicans are cleaning toilets, and the Mexicans are mowing the lawns, etc. The Persians are living the high life, while the Mexicans do the labor.

We need to educate the Mexicans so they can have better lives than just hard labor, we can begin by teaching all of the Mexicans how to speak English, the Christians need to start new programs to teach the Mexicans how to speak English.

We are also welcoming the people from Venezuela, they are welcome here, along with the Colombians, and everyone else.

We need to educate and train our people, we can train the prisoners in prison on how to Groom Dogs and they can groom the dogs from the Animal Control Shelters, then Walmart is going to have Dog Grooming and the ex cons can go groom dogs at Walmart. They can make $50,000 per year grooming dogs.

We also have Homeboy Industries, and Father Boyle. Father Boyle can teach everyone how to help El Salvador and others on the issue of gangs, Father Boyle knows the answers on dealing with MS 13, etc.

We need to keep our borders open, and we need to continue to welcome immigrants, while at the same time we need to listen to Father Boyle and Homeboy Industries on the issue of gangs, and we need to teach the Mexicans how to speak English, and we need to teach the prisoners how to Groom Dogs for Walmart.

The Persians are wealthy here, while the Mexicans clean their toilets, it is sad how the Persians take a leadership position while the Mexicans automatically become subservient. My maid in Malibu was from El Salvador, the Catholics are usually the maids, while the Persians are Real Estate Agents and Landlords, etc. and the Persians own the oil and the gasoline, etc.

I have a lot of respect for the poor Mexicans who come here and work as servants.

So strange that Iran the only country to vow death to America is not on that list. They truly hate us Joe it is written in their holy book, stop giving them money.

The money from Iran is being spent here in California, we have 700,000 people from Iran in Los Angeles at this time...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Iranian_Americans_in_Los_Angeles

Soon we will have 1 million people from Iran in Los Angeles.

The Persians are buying expensive homes, and they are driving expensive cars, and they are living in the best neighborhoods, etc.

We need to figure out how to make peace with the Persians. We need peace.

Mahlagha Jaberi is a leader from Iran who now lives in California and she can help as we stand with the people of Iran for better human rights for the people of Iran. We need to bring Iran into 2023, they need to leave the past behind and they need to look at the future, and they need to decide what kind of world they want to live in, and what kind of world they want for their children to live in.

Salute,
