I cast my first vote for Jimmy Carter in 1976.

Same here.  At the time I did not envision him as a 100 year old man hanging onto life in home hospice care so he can vote for our first woman president.

 I am definitely sticking with peanuts!

Do not pay attention to the national polls and pay even less attention to swing state polls.


Jimmy Carter
1976
Actually poor editing on my part.
Carter said that in 1980 before losing to Ronald Reagan

Making rubber from hardy little plants that grow easily and don't need watering, even in the desert.  A good development for sustainable tires.  When it comes to puns about rubber and tires, I try to tread carefully.

Dodgers against the Yankees in the World Series, very cool.

I was here in Anaheim when the Angels won the World Series in 2002, back when they had Mike Scoicia as the coach, I was at a bus stop by Angel Stadium and I could hear all of the people going nuts, and people were honking their horns, and fireworks were going off, etc, it was great when the Angels won the World Series.

Here is a crazy story about how fucked up our society is... There was a politician who diverted funds into a charity that his daughter ran, and he made a million dollars, and his daughter made money, and it was a huge program during COVID, they were feeding people during COVID. They were corrupt and they made personal profit from the money that was supposed to feed people during COVID. But, then it gets worse, the District Attorney made a deal with them that they can walk free in exchange for their testimony against the people who helped them, so they are going to snitch on everyone who helped them and then they are going to walk free with no charges. Meanwhile the people who helped them are all getting busted,while the ring leaders walk free.

Meanwhile, Cooper Hefner is trying to buy Playboy, I hope he succeeds, and Playboy can join together with Universal to have the Playboy Channel and they can shoot the new shows at Universal here in Hollywood.

Salute,

There was a Jewish woman, free settler, who arrived as part of the First Fleet that sailed into Sydney harbour from Britain in 1788.

Jewish folk have been making positive and valued contributions to the advancement of Australia ever since.

I just sent an idea to Anaheim City Hall, we will see if the idea gets traction, I suggested that we put Anaheim onto a 24 Hour Schedule like Nevada. Disneyland can run 24 Hours per day like the Casinos in Nevada, and like the Gold Mines in Battle Mountain, etc, Disneyland can just run continuously without ever closing. And Anaheim Blvd can be nice like the Universal City Walk, and like Downtown Disney and they can run on a 24 Hour Schedule with the shops always open. And a 24 Hour Schedule would create more jobs for the people of Anaheim, etc.

Bambu, Kirk Douglas was a Russian Jew, and he attended the same acting school that I attended, The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, only he attended the school in New York, and I attended the school when it was in Pasadena, California. Also, Spielberg helps to run Universal Studios here in Hollywood. We have a lot of Jews here in the Entertainment Industry. And I am sure many Jews went to Australia to escape the Germans. Australia is a nice safe place.

Salute,

I just saw a fight between the Security Guard at the Mexican Market and a Homeless Man, the Guard had a baton that he was hitting the Homeless Guy in the head with. Finally the homeless guy gave up and left the area. Normally it is peaceful here, and the Security Guards mostly just help the Old Ladies to take their groceries out to their cars, and the Security Guards mostly just help the Old Ladies to feel safe, it is rare to see the Security Guards actually fight. And the Security Guards have guns, so it is stupid to fight with them.

We need to make Anaheim nicer, we need cheap hostels with a bed and a shower for $15 per night, and we need cheap Sober Living Homes for $450 per month, etc. We can also run Anaheim on a 24 Hour Schedule and we can create more jobs. We can also plant more trees, and more plants, and we can have fountains, and statues, and cobblestone courtyards, etc.

We have hundreds of new Townhomes being built by La Palma Park, and I hope lots of beautiful women move in, and we have the amphitheater at Pearson Park where we can have concerts, and we can make Anaheim Blvd nice like the Universal City Walk and like Downtown Disney, etc.

And we need to support Kiwanis International, etc. And the local Churches can help, we have the Catholic Churches, and we have the Christ Cathedral, and we have the Calvary Chapel Open Door Church, etc.

We have Chapman film school close by.

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

Also, Anaheim needs a high functioning Film and Television Office to bring the Entertainment Industry jobs to Anaheim.

There are many things we can do to improve life in Anaheim.

And we have great beaches close by, etc, Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, etc.

Hollywood is only 30 miles away, and Malibu is 60 miles way. And we have trains and subways that go from Anaheim to Universal Studios, etc.

It can get better. We need to put the homeless people to work planting trees, and washing sidewalks at night, and beautifying our area. The homeless can also sell hot dogs and beer at sporting events, etc, to raise money to do charity work and to feed the poor, etc.

And we need to help the Foster Children, we need to send all of the Foster Children to college for free.

We also need to help the Abused Women, and we need groups such as Meathead Movers to move the abused women and their children out of abusive situations and into Safe Houses, etc. And we can take an abused woman from Los Angeles and we can hide her in Denver, Colorado, etc.

We need to nurture our society, and we need to make things better.

We can also hook the refugees up with the United Farm Workers and with the Teamsters, etc, to find good honest jobs.

Peace.

Salute,

Tony V.

As Hawaii looks for ways to make honest money... My Cousin had a friend who their family owned The U.S. Bong Company, and they sold paraphernalia at the head shops all over, and they had a yacht in Hawaii that they lived on for a while, and they grew pot in Hawaii, their strain was "Puna Electric" and it was the best pot I ever smoked. So, Hawaii can grow "Puna Electric" and Maui Wowi, etc, and they can import the weed into the Mainland with the Pineapple, etc. Pot is a peaceful drug, and I support the Hippy lifestyle for people who choose to live that way, the hippies who I met have always been peaceful, I liked the hippy girls in California, and I liked the hippy school teachers in Oregon, etc. And Lebanon can grow pot and they can make hashish, etc. Pot is legal now, and Hawaii needs to make money from the Puna Electric, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Donald Trump sings the praise of North Korean God on Earth Kim Jong-Un.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/trump-praises-putin-kim-jong-un-bashes-obama/2024/10/22/193af7e7-7659-43d6-bd7c-b9f233300e5e_video.html

Trump admires THIS guy

The conservative daily, the JoongAng Ilbo, reported on Tuesday that Hwang Min, a former agriculture minister, and Ri Yong-jin, a senior official at the education ministry, were executed by anti-aircraft gunat a military academy in Pyongyang earlier this month.

Hwang was reportedly killed for making policy proposals that were seen as a direct threat to Kim

Seems many American states have finally woken up to the fact that the 'rule of law' is paramount, as is protecting their way of life and their jobs.
Massive immigration/asylum-seeking no longer allowed...their 'sanctuary cities' policies basically kaput.

Rule of law? Our Constitutional law authority will probably tell you to read the Constitution regarding immigration.

The Constitution says nothing about immigration.
