America the Beautiful


Words by Katharine Lee Bates, Melody by Samuel Ward


O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for halcyon skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!

O beautiful for pilgrims feet,
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till paths be wrought through
wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee!

O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice,
for man's avail
Men lavished precious life!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!

Artery was accused of a crime, pursued, judged and murdered.

THAT I was a lynching.

The defense attorney knows he is riding a loser and is trying to force a mistrial

A guy in Afghanistan posted on my Facebook page asking that we in the USA help to get the good people out of Afghanistan, he wants me to help him and his family with his wife and 3 children to come to America. I do not know if the post was from a real person, but I can make a few suggestions for when the people from Afghanistan come to the USA.

The immigrants need to avoid the high crime areas, they should not come live in the worst neighborhoods, but rather they should seek out a good safe place, and if they have children then they will want good schools, and they will want jobs, etc. So there is a lot to consider.

Battle Mountain, Nevada, is a good place for new immigrants, and the land is cheap. They have low crime, low illegal drug use, etc. It is between San Francisco and Salt Lake City so restaurants can sell meals to travelers, etc, and truck stops are successful, etc. You can raise pigs and sell pork to the people in San Francisco. Or you can raise beef for the fast food restaurants, etc, etc, etc. A lot of the original settlers in Battle Mountain were Basques.

Merced, California, is a good place for new immigrants, and there are a lot of farm jobs. People need to invest in Merced, and build, and Merced needs to be flooded with money as the new immigrants come to Merced. The United Farm Workers Union can help the immigrants in Merced. And Merced will have a station on the California High Speed Rail.

La Junta, Colorado, is a good place for new immigrants, and land is cheap. The new immigrants can have farms in La Junta, and they can have families. The crime is low in La Junta, and the schools are good for the children. You can have a library and a telescope and you can be happy in La Junta.

Those are a few thoughts for the new immigrants, including for the guy in Afghanistan who wants to bring his family to the USA.

Salute,

Tony V.

We can make more good places in this country, Tony by taking power from the crooks who divide it.

You could build an army just by helping the homeless and organizing the homeless people to help others as they themselves are helped. You can have a whole wave of people helping other people by helping them and then getting them to pay it forward by helping the next guy. And as we learn then it is up to us to teach. And people who succeed need to give a hand up to the next guy, and they need to be generous and fair to their workers.

I watched it happen, I watched a homeless lady get help and now she is a successful doctor.

I watched homeless guys get help and then go on to managing homeless shelters to help other people.

I watch a homeless lady become a Crisis Intervention Specialist. Now she is well off and she lives on the beach.

As we help people then the people who we help can go on to help the next guy.

Battle Mountain, and Merced, and La Junta, can all be communities where they all help each other and where people all care about each other. And other communities.

Anaheim is expensive, and we have homeless people all over our sidewalks, Anaheim is not a good place for new immigrants. Immigrants should come to Anaheim after they are already wealthy, or when they retire. Immigrants would be smarter to start out in a cheaper location than Anaheim, and become a doctor first and then move to Anaheim, or whatever.

Salute,

Tony V.

A lot of times we bring immigrants to our bases, and then we let them pick where they want to live.

When the Vietnam War ended we brought our Vietnamese allies to Camp Pendleton, and then we let them pick where they wanted to live, and they chose Westminster, California. My Mother lived in Westminster in the 1950s and she loved it. Now Westminster is home of Little Saigon. But, it is changing as people come up from our Southern Border, and the Vietnamese are losing control of Westminster as Latinos continue to come to the OC.

So, I am sure that is what is happening right now, our government is bringing in planes full of people from Afghanistan to American bases, and then the people get to choose where they want to live. Right now I suggest Battle Mountain, Nevada, Merced, California, and La Junta, Colorado.

Salute,

Time for the rest of the story.

Former New York Times reporter Nellie Bowles said she was sent to Kenosha in August of 2020 to report on the mainstream liberal argument that vandalizing buildings for racial justice was not detrimental because businesses had insurance.


But.


It turned out to be not true Bowles wrote.The part of Kenosha that people burned in the riots was the poor, multi-racial commercial district, full of small, underinsured cell phone shops and car lots. It was very sad to see and to hear from people who had suffered.

She wrote a report about that but the New York Times( All the news that is fit to print, ya know) never published the story until after the November presidential election.


Bowles said she filed her story, and editors told her it would not run until after the election, citing space, timing, tweaks

The piece eventually ran after Joe Biden won the election, Bowles said.

Whatever the reason for holding the piece, covering the suffering after the riots was not a priority,

the reality that brought Kyle Rittenhouse into the streets was one we reporters were meant to ignore.

There is going to be new building happening, and so we need to bring in the best architects, and then the young architects can learn from the older and more experienced architects. And the architects need to have fun in the USA, and the architects need to design great stuff.

Salute,
