Right now we need to teach the youth of the Antelope Valley how to respond when people try to start the inevitable race riots in the public high schools. The new school year is getting ready to start, and for sure people will try to start race riots, so we need to neutralize that and teach the youth how to remain peaceful.

Imagine in the play "Othello" if an angel came to teach him to beware of Iago, everything would have been different.

Our schools can be safe, fun places where the children can learn and where they can enrich their lives. We are blessed to be a rich nation where we can educate all of our children, and they need safe schools.

Salute,

Tony V.

People love to break people up into groups and then fight the groups against each other.

And it is easy to start a fight.

Blessed are the peacemakers. We need to raise kind gentle geniuses who are expert peacemakers.

And in America we need to all be equal, we will destroy ourselves if we fight against each other. More Americans were killed in our Civil War than in any other war that we have been in. We have our Declaration of Independence where we declare that ALL men are created equal with the same human rights. It took a war to free the slaves, but we did it. And then people fought and marched to get the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Civil Rights Act of 1968. We need to all be equal, and we need to all have the same human rights. And we must refuse to kill each other, we must not let them divide us up and fight us against each other.

In my hometown they had race riots in the public high schools, and that is unacceptable. The high schools need to all be safe like the Catholic high school is safe.

And 2 children were fighting on a playground, and one child hit his head on concrete when he fell and he died. The child who died was Black, and the other child was White, so Louis Farrakhan came to my hometown and called out for a race war to get justice for the Black child who died on the playground. Instead of wanting to raise society up, Louis Farrakhan wanted to lower us all down to the level of children fighting on the playground. Luckily we have good people in the Antelope Valley, and an Italian businessman from Sicily, Frank Visco, pulled Louis Farrakhan into a private room and had a personal conversation with him, no one knows what was said in their private meeting, but after the meeting Louis Farrakhan left town and the race war never happened. Frank Visco is a good man of peace, and blessed are the Peacemakers.

Pope Francis is a good man of peace.

We need peace, and we need to teach our children peace. And our schools need to be safe places for our children, they need to be able to learn, and in the best case scenario then the children can actually love school, and they can love to learn, and they can love to make new friends, and they can have good fun teachers, etc.

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo they are always fighting among themselves, so they never have positive growth, they are wasting their energy on internal conflicts. If they worked together as a team then they could make great strides, if they give everyone equal rights and if they all worked together then they could have good lives. People win with peace, everyone wins.

With peace our energy can go towards good food for our people, and education, and health care, and science, and we can build libraries, etc, etc, etc.

Our diversity is a blessing if we are all equal and if we work together as a team, but if we dwell on our differences and if we fight against each other then we will destroy ourselves.

Salute,

Tony V.

Bambu, in Rome everyone is a Christian, and we all love each other and there are churches everywhere. I lived across the street from the Church of Saint Lawrence. I went there to pray.

Saint Lawrence was in charge of the money from the Church, so an evil ruler demanded the wealth of the Church, so Saint Lawrence brought the poor and the orphans and the widows, etc, and Saint Lawrence told the Mother Fucker that the wealth of the Church was the poor who the Church helped.

The evil ruler burned Saint Lawrence alive. After Saint Lawrence performed miracles in prison.

Salute,

The only thing that prevents us from doing great things is the road blocks in our mind.

I lived with the rich people all of my life, and my Brother married Roy Rogers and Dale Evans' Granddaughter, etc.

We need to teach our children how to think, and about Philosophy, and about Rhetoric, Logic, Poetry, etc.

Bambu, I recommend Pepperdine for the young men from Australia who want to study and surf. Latigo Beach is full of stars and Pepperdine Professors, and the Pepperdine students go there to surf. Latigo Beach is where I learned how to surf. On a pink surfboard owned by a 15 year old girl.

I lived in Malibu like a star for 1 year. And I had a roommate who was the daughter of a Chinese General. God sent me to make the Peace.

We need to start returning goods to the Chinese, such as California wine, and California cheese from Joseph Farms, etc, and we can send Sunkist orange juice and Coca Cola and McDonald's Restaurants.

And the Pope is trying to expand the Catholic Church into China, We are going to win China over for the Catholic Church.

Peace.

Tony V.

Christians need to renounce guns, the republican death cult and their entire ethno-nationalist project along with mining for fossil fuels. Otherwise there is no needle eye big enough to admit them.

Christians, persecuted everywhere in the world today, need to buy more guns, arm themselves to the max so when they're attacked they can at least fight back.
I only got *respect*and stopped the physical persecution of me in high school by making a nail rod at home, carrying it in my school case ( no back packs then)...and using it.

The only thing the violent understand is violence.

We need to raise kind, compassionate, Christian leaders, Bambu, not ignorant cannon fodder who just rush headfirst into cannon fire. And blessed are the peacemakers.

Here is what we need to do...

We need to raise kind and compassionate and empathetic Christian children, who rise to become great leaders and who go on to help other people. Pepperdine is a Christian college, and they are training leaders to help the poor, and to help to make the world a better place.

So, we need to raise good peaceful children, like in Catholic schools, there will be no violence. The boys can have Martial Arts, and Boxing, and Wrestling, but no fighting on the playground. There will be peace, and discipline, they will study hard, but they can have fun teachers and it could be fun. Here in California a lot of teachers are actors, and I had a teacher who used to come to class as different characters, one day he would be Edgar Allen Poe, and the next day he would be Mark Twain, he was great, the world needs good teachers like him. And I had a teacher for Euclidean Geometry who was a Magician at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, he was great. We can have good fun teachers.

And the children can study acting, and film, and other forms of art.

I loved Social Studies as a Kid, and I loved to learn about other cultures and about people. We need to teach the children Social Studies.

And Science, etc. And they can make Paper Airplanes, and they can launch model rockets, etc. And they can build robots, etc. Also, they can learn all about computers, etc. They all need to know how to use an Apple computer, etc.

And the youth can have groups like Youth For Christ and they can go help orphans in Mexico, etc.

There is also the YMCA, etc, etc, etc.

Then the youth need to all go to college. We can start small by sending everyone to community college for free, and then we can see who the leaders are, etc, and people can rise in areas where they have aptitude.

After community college the youth can go to Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Pepperdine, etc.

The actors can go to Julliard, and to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (Where I went).

There is USC film school, and Chapman film school, and NYU film school, for the people who want to be filmmakers.

Then the people need to be on a mission to do good with their lives like my dearly departed Christian friend from the Philippines, she spent her whole life helping the homeless. And I want to help orphans, and I want to help people. We need to teach the young people how to have purpose and how to enjoy doing service, etc.

There is also politics, etc.

And sports, etc.

We need to raise kind gentle geniuses who spend their lives working to make our world a better place.

Blessed are the peacemakers.

Salute,

Tony V.

Inglewood, California, is doing great because of the stadiums there, there is the Forum, and So Fi Stadium, and the money is flowing into Inglewood. Right now they are rolling in cash because of Taylor Swift.

Food, drinks, hotel rooms, souvenirs, etc, etc, etc. Inglewood is rising in the world. Inglewood used to be a poor ghetto, but now the money is flowing into Inglewood.

And Inglewood has new restaurants, and a new Cinenopolis movie theatre, etc, etc, etc. Inglewood is creating a lot of great stuff for the tourists and for the locals.

Inglewood, and Compton, used to be ghettos, but now they are developing and growing and building, and they are creating good stuff for the tourists, etc. The locals may have problems with gentrification but they have new movie theatres to enjoy and new restaurants, etc, and they can make money by selling stuff to the tourists.

It is good to see some bright positive things happening in California.

And may God bless Taylor Swift, the money is pouring into Inglewood right now.

Salute,

Tony V.

How much can you donate to charity for a tax deduction? Generally, itemizers can deduct 20% to 60% of their adjusted gross income for charitable donations. The exact percentage depends on the type of qualified contribution as well as the charity or organization. Jul 11, 2023

-----------

We need to help the poor and the needy like it says in Matthew 25: 31-46.

We are going to win people over for Christ by doing good Christian acts of kindness, and by helping the homeless, and the orphans, etc, etc, etc.

Salute,

My dearly departed wealthiest friend was wealthy from the Banana Industry in the Philippines, and she was a good Christian who spent her whole life helping the homeless, etc. When she came to America she opened a night club named "Manila Gardens" and she was very successful, and God kept giving her more money as she gave money away to help the homeless. God blessed her, and all of her businesses were successful, and she kept giving her time and money to God. She was my hero. May she rest in peace.

And if I was rich like her then I would want to serve God like she did, and I want to be so rich that I can give money away to the needy, etc. That is what money is for is for helping the poor and the needy, and for helping to make life better for people. And we need to give people tax breaks for donating money to charity, etc.

Salute,

The Bible says that men need to work, and the Bible says that blessed is a man who hires workers, and the Bible tells us to pay our workers fair and to treat them well.

https://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/what-we-believe/catholic-social-teaching/the-dignity-of-work-and-the-rights-of-workers

The Bible also says that poor widows and their children are loved by God, and God will punish the people who take advantage of poor widows and their children. God sees everything.

We need to work, but we need to be paid well for our work, and all people need to be respected.

Of note on the issue of boats, I have a nephew who I never met who is a yacht captain, rich people pay him to be the captain for their yachts. He also piloted a ferry boat I guess. He is a good guy and he is a good honest worker.

Salute,

Tony V.

Trouble is...America / the West are fast becoming atheist.
'Conscience' is dying out fast.
It's fast becoming  totally "dog eat dog'.

The Christians need to do service, like I did with Youth For Christ when I went to Mexico to help the orphans and people living in a garbage dump. The way to bring people to Christ is to help them when they need help, like it says in Matthew 25: 31-46.

I knew a woman, she was a drug addict with children, and I pleaded for her to get clean and to be a good Mom for her children, she told me that if she got clean then she would not have any friends to help her and to give her rides to the store, etc, etc, etc. It was all BULLSHIT. She should have been able to get clean and then go to Church and the Christians need to help women like that who need help.

The Christians need to help the homeless, and the orphans, and the drug addicts, and the poor widows with children, and the Christians need to feed the hungry, etc. As we help people then we can bring them to Christ. We also need to minister to people in prison, etc, we need to bring them all to Christ.

We have some new movies, "The Jesus Revolution" and "The Sound of Freedom" and there is the television show "The Chosen" and more Christian television shows and movies need to be made.

And there is a music school in Rome, Italy, where they are teaching music to Christians, The Saint Louis College of Music, they are training the Christian musicians of the future.

And there are YMCA summer camps for the Children. I worked for the Burbank YMCA at a summer camp for 2 summers as a teen serving God.

Here in Anaheim we have the Calvary Chapel Open Door Church and the Church needs to serve the community, and the homeless need to be welcome, and all people need to be welcome at the Calvary Chapel Open Door Church.

And Pope Francis is a great Pope, Pope Francis is going to bring China to Christ, the Chinese love Pope Francis. We need to love the Chinese, and we can bring them to Christ.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.

We need to love our neighbors, and we need to do loving service. We need to help people, and we need to feed people, etc. That is how we will bring people to Christ.

Salute,

Tony V.

Some people think that the police department protects us from a meltdown of civilization, they call it the "Thin Blue Line." But in reality it is the school teachers, and the preachers, who make society better, it is the people who teach us to love our neighbors who are the people who are holding society together. It is the people who teach us to be kind, and to love our neighbors, who are the civilization builders.

And you do not have to pay a good person to obey the law or to be good to their neighbors, as long as I have a gun to defend my neighbors then I will help to watch over my neighbors. You do not have to pay me to help my neighbors. The people who have the most power are the people who taught me to have love and compassion for my neighbors. The teachers, and the preachers, have the power to save society. And we can all own guns and we can all protect our neighbors, no one should have to pay you to protect your neighbors and other good innocent people.

And movies, and television shows, and books, and music, all have power to teach people and effect people.

I hate the mother fucking gangster rap, and they have the East Coast fighting against the West Coast, that was how Tupac died, and the neighborhoods are all fighting against each other, it is all BULLSHIT. We need peace, and food, and education, and a good economy. There is no reason for the young people to be killing each other over bullshit music. Blessed are the peacemakers. And Los Angeles and New York are both on the same team, we are all Americans, and we have more to gain by working together as a team instead of having bullshit violence.

And may God bless Father Boyle and Homeboy Industries here in Los Angeles, Homeboy Industries helps former gang members to get well and to enter society as a good human being and to be redeemed. The gangsters are all sick, and Homeboy Industries helps to make them well. Praise be to God and to Father Boyle.

We need love, and peace, and food, and people need to love their neighbors.

Blessed are the peacemakers. It is easy to make war, but we need peace even though it is harder, and blessed are the peacemakers.

And if everyone obeyed the 10 Commandments and the Golden Rule then our prisons would be empty.

Salute,

Tony V.

Roy Rogers started out poor when he first came to California from Ohio during the Great Depression, and he picked fruit for a living like my ancestors did, and he drove a truck, and he did whatever he could to make honest money. He played guitar and sang at the homeless camps for the fruit pickers, and that was how he developed his skill as a guitar player and singer and entertainer. Then, he became more and more involved with music, and he traveled around and performed on radio stations, and whatever they could do to earn money for food, he said he was always hungry. Then one day he was on a radio station and he told the listeners that he was hungry and that he loved lemon pie, so a listener brought a lemon pie to him, and her name was Arlene and that was how Roy met his first wife. ( I think that is the story. )

Then Roy went to get his hat cleaned, and the guy at the hat store told him about a job for a singing cowboy. Roy went and applied for the job, and the rest is history. Roy became a huge star like Gene Autry.

Roy and the Sons of the Pioneers played at swimming pool parties for William Randolph Hearst in San Simeon, and Roy was friends with all of the rich and famous people. And over the years Roy Rogers was friends with Ronald Reagan and with other Presidents of the United States.

Roy went from being a poor kid from Ohio, to being the King of the Cowboys.

I just wish he would have valued an education more.

I spent 2 days with Roy Rogers, one day my Brother took me to Roy's Daughter Dodie's house for Christmas Day and I spent the whole day with Roy and Dale, and Roy told me stories all day. Then, on another day, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans were at my Brother's wedding, when my Brother married their Granddaughter Kristen. Roy and Dale were very nice people, and they were very kind.

I wanted for my Brother's children to all attend college, their Great Grandparents were Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, I wanted for them to all go to Harvard, and to get the best education the USA had to offer. But, instead they all moved to Alabama, and none of them went to college. And they had problems with meth, and other stupid low life shit that they should not have been around. Now they all have tattoos and bad teeth, etc. That seems to be the direction America wants to go, tattoos and bad teeth. But we can try to get them to go to Harvard.

Anyhow, I liked Roy, I just wish he would have valued an education more, and I wish he would have sent all of the kids to college.

Salute,

Tony V.

Rome, Italy, is nice, and the rent is the same price as in Anaheim, and Rome receives 10 million tourists per year, so there are many tourists to sell stuff to, the economy in Rome is great

And Rome has Hostels for $15 per night for a shower and a bed

Plus Rome has Cinecitta which is the largest movie studio in Europe.

I tried to move to Rome in 2003 but I could not get a job, if I could have gotten a job I would have stayed there. Rome is great, and it is the Christian capital of the world.

Housing is expensive in California, and lots of good, honest, hard working people are living in their cars. The answer is to have Hostels where people can take a nice shower and where they can sleep in a comfortable bed for $15 per night. Sober Living Homes where people can rent a bed for $500 per month are also great.

California is expensive, but it is easy to make money if you are smart and if you have help to open your own business, etc. We have 50,000 tourists per day in Anaheim if one can figure out something to sell to the tourists, such as food, a hotel room, souvenirs, etc. And my Mother has a cousin who is pretty rich from his Pharmacy in Fontana.

But, if you are a writer then you can live someplace cheaper, such as Carson City, Nevada, and you do not have to pay the high prices for housing like in California.

And in Battle Mountain, Nevada, you can buy land for $1,000 per acre. But, Battle Mountain does not have 50,000 tourists per day to sell stuff to. Battle Mountain has under 5,000 people in their total population, and they have the highway so you can sell food to people on the highway, etc, but you cannot make the big bucks selling stuff to tourists like in Anaheim.

Education is the best thing that we can do for our people.

Julie Rogers just wrote a book about her Grandparents Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, and it is selling a lot of copies, she is doing well. And she married a man who is an Italian-American from San Francisco and his family has money from Italian Restaurants in San Francisco. So Julie is doing well. And Julie went to college, she is college educated. They have a nice home in Carson City, Nevada, now, where it is cheap to live, and they are doing great.

Julie is making her own money with her education and with her ability to write novels.

Salute,
