Paul Newman founded the Painted Turtle Camp in Lake Hughes to help the ill children, and the camp operates with money from the sale of Newman's Own Spaghetti Sauce, and Salad Dressing, etc.

https://www.thepaintedturtle.org/

Lake Hughes also has Drug Treatment Camps, etc, and more camps can be built.

Acton can also have camps, and Tehachapi.

And the San Miguel Corporation from the Philippines can help in Oakland, San Francisco, San Bernardino, and here in Hollywood, etc. And the Arroyo Clan from the Philippines can help, etc.

The Catholic Church can also help, etc.

Shakira and Sofia Vergara can come open restaurants in New Orleans, Louisiana, etc.

And we need to open more Wellness Centers and Mental Health Associations, and we need to build nice housing for the Senior Citizens, etc.

Groceries and healthy food is an important issue too, and every community needs access to a good store with healthy food at affordable prices, etc. In my neighborhood we have Von's, Stater Brothers, and the Northgate Mexican Market, plus we have a CVS Pharmacy, etc, and this is perfect, if every community had access to what I have here, then the world would be a good place. I also like Trader Joe's. As they build Senior Citizen housing in California City, etc, then they need to build good healthy grocery stores for the people to shop at.

Salute,

Tony V.

Hollywood, California - Governor Gavin Newsom today announced a proposal to expand California's Film & Television Tax Credit Program to $750 million annually, a massive increase from the current $330 million annual allocation. Oct 27, 2024

----------

Filmmakers can film at Paradise Cove in Malibu again, people can make "Beach Blanket Bingo" movies, and "Rockford Files" television shows, etc. They filmed "MASH" in Malibu, and lots of other stuff, and it would be great if people could start filming in Malibu again.

People can also film in Anaheim, and Anaheim City Hall is only 10 miles away from Chapman film school. Anaheim City Hall needs to have a world class Film and Television Office to bring film and television jobs to Anaheim, and the film students can volunteer at the Film and Television Office, etc.

Lancaster, California, has a good Film and Television Office with support from Lancaster City Hall.

Universal is doing fantastic, they have a theme park in Beijing now, and they are expanding in Florida, and they are doing great things here in California, Universal is great.

Disney is also great, and Disney is doing a lot of good things in Anaheim, and also with "Star Wars" and other successes.

Salute,

Dutch King said yesterday:
" We failed the Jewish community of the Netherlands during the Second World War - and last night we failed again".

Israeli soccer fans bashed in Amsterdam...allegedly by guess who.

Dutch King/President should ring the President of Poland, he'll show him what to do and how to do it.
Poland today is one of the safest and most peaceful countries in Europe.

Pope John Paul II was from Poland, Poland got its freedom with the help of Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II, and Poland helped to bring down the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union. Someone should make a movie about Lech Walesa, he and Solidarity led the movement.

Here in the USA the people from Poland have been coming to Detroit, Michigan. Detroit has a huge community from Poland.

Sorry but mass immigration is the number one issue facing the nation today. Just be legal!

Spent today at the local VFW celebrating those who sacrificed to create the oldest and best democracy on the planet. Has to be defended against by the assault by the mindless horde and their misguided supporters.

  Indeed.

But, it's legal to enter America and claim asylum.
Legal to walk over the border, ring 911 and say "we're here, please come and
get us, feed, and house us while our claims for asylum are processed on US soil."
Leftist policy obeys, sanctuary cities everywhere, now being swamped/overrun.

Asylum-seekers, where are the wars in Iraq, India, Sri Lanka, China today?
If you've got USD20,000 per person to pay people smugglers, are you really a refugee?

Howard, ScoMo, The Monk...soon put a stop to it all.
Offshore processing of asylum claims...in other countries...Manus Is PNG, and Pacific nation Nauru.
And "towed back the boats" to Indonesian waters.
No more boats.
Now they're flying in as tourists, students and claiming asylum.
The Leftist govt doesn't have 'deportation' in its psyche.

There are solutions, it's just whether or nor Washington wants to do them.

The Real Republican Party has the American Dream at the heart, and President Abraham Lincoln with his belief that Labor is worth more than Capital, which was in tune with our Declaration of Independence, etc, and James Madison, the Father of our Constitution knew it would take a Civil War to stop slavery, and James Madison also had to go to war against England when he was President. All men are created equal, and we all have the same rights, and the value of men is more valuable than the value of money. Men do not lose their rights when they go get a job from a company, their rights are protected by Labor Laws and Labor Unions and by OSHA, etc, etc, etc. And we have the ACLU, etc.

Reagan was a Republican and he made everyone legal, Tommy Chong was made legal by Reagan, and many immigrants were made legal by Reagan, so that they could join labor unions, and so that they could call the police in the case of emergency, etc, and so women can report rapes, etc.

We also need to hook the immigrants up with jobs with the United Farm Workers, and with the Teamsters, etc.

The refugees from the Middle East can go to the Kiwanis Village in Victoria, British Columbia, the forest of Canada is a nice safe spot for the refugees.

We need to make everyone legal, and we need to put everyone to work, and we need to build schools, etc.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys in Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, etc, all need women, and they do not care where the women come from. We need to send nice clothes to the women on the Southern Border, and make-up and perfume, and lingerie, to make them more attractive to the Cowboys in the West. We need to improve the image of the women on our Southern Border and stores like Ross Dress for Less can help, and magazines like Cosmopolitan can help to teach the women, etc. Mexico can be nice like Fantasy Island, with beautiful women in nice clothes with lingerie, etc. And the French and Italians and Spaniards and Greeks can all help in Mexico, etc. And Acapulco is great, and Elvis made a movie in Acapulco. If Beyonce likes Acapulco and does a video there then the whole image can improve. Mexico needs to improve their image, and the Cowboys need women.

Meanwhile the people from Poland are coming to Detroit, Michigan, etc, and Detroit has a nice Opera, etc. Lech Walesa is a living hero, and Pope John Paul II was great.

Of note, the Catholic Church is helping the poor, including helping the poor Veterans, and as the Knights of Columbus sell Insurance here then they will have more money for Catholic Schools, Catholic Hospitals, Catholic Orphanages, and for Catholic Charities, etc. The Knights of Columbus can also sell Home Insurance to the people in hurricane regions in Florida, and in Louisiana, etc, and the profits can all go to do Charity Work with the Catholic Church.

And Sammy Hagar needs to talk with Trump to plead for MERCY for Mexico.

Salute,

Tony V.

 Australia and US have a free trade agreement...AUSFTA.
A preferential trade agreement that came into effect 1st Jan 2005.
American manufacturing lobbies strongly supported the FTA.
On 15 July both houses of the US Congress gave strong support to the FTA.

US goods and services trade with Australia totalled an estimated $77.1 billion in 2022.
Exports were $52.1 billion; imports were $25 billion.
US goods and services trade surplus with Australia  was $27.1 billion in 2022.

Over 97% of Australia's non-agricultural exports to the US (excluding textiles and clothing) are now duty free, and 3/4 of agricultural tariff lines have been eliminated under AUSFTA, with two-way trade growing from $32 billion to $77 billion since it came into force.

With the trade wars about to start, who knows what will happen.
If Sir Donald thinks he can slap tariffs on other countries and those countries will just bow down and say "yes sir, thank you for that", he's got another think coming.

Los Angeles has 50,000 immigrants here from Australia. I recommend Malibu, as Malibu has the beach, and surfing, and good restaurants, and they made "The Rockford Files" at the Paradise Cove Restaurant and also the "Beach Blanket Bingo" movies were made there, and "MASH" was made in Malibu, etc. Also, Anaheim is a nice place for the immigrants from Australia, and Disney is investing $2 Billion here right now.

On the issue of Lancaster, California, then Lancaster can sell you Fighter Jets and Bombers and Missile Defense Items, Lancaster has NASA and the Air Force out at Edwards, and then we have the Navy out at China Lake.

Also, it would be good if Australia can expand trade with Kentucky, etc.

We need for people with high levels of National Intelligence and with a good knowledge of the land to help the refugees with settlement in the USA and also to help the homeless, etc, with a good vision.

For instance, at the end of the Vietnam War we brought the refugees from Vietnam to Camp Pendelton in San Diego, California, and then we let the refugees pick where they wanted to live. The refugees picked Westminster, California, and now Westminster has the largest population of Vietnamese people outside of Vietnam. So, in order to teach them how to be Americans, and to help to weave the fabric of society, then we need to mix the homeless and the disabled and the Veterans from the USA in with the refugees, and as we give Housing and Medical Care, etc, to the refugees then we can also help the homeless and the disabled and the Veterans, etc, here in America. So, if we have knowledge that Persians are coming to America, or whatever group of refugees, then as we give aid to the refugees then we can also help our homeless and our disabled and our Veterans at the same time, we can mix everyone together and we can help everyone at the same time. Here in Westminster we have homeless people and Veterans and Disabled people going to doctors and psychiatrists and dentists, etc, with the refugees from Vietnam, etc, and they live in the same housing, etc.

So, we need people who know the National Intelligence to know where to send the homeless to get help and also where to send the resources, etc, as we help the refugees, etc.

To be able to sell cigarettes in Australia after April 2025, individual cigarettes must have health warnings printed on the butt.

. 'CIGARETTES DAMAGE YOUR ORGANS"
. 'CIGARETTES CAUSE CANCER'
. 'TOBACCO SMOKE HARMS CHILDREN'
. 'CIGARETTES CAUSE IMPOTENCE'
. 'CIGARETTES CAUSE LEUKEMIA'
. 'POISON IN EVERY PUFF'

Marco Rubio is going to be Chief of State, that is awesome, I used to love Rubio, I wanted him for President at one time, I hope Rubio does a good job. Rubio is a humble Cuban-American and his Father was a Bar Tender in Las Vegas, Nevada, he worked his way up in Florida by knocking on doors. I hope Rubio does a great job. This is a great opportunity for Marco Rubio.

As a Cuban-American Rubio will be right in the Middle of discussions to advance a free Cuba with whom we can have free trade and good relations.

Claudia Sheinbaum is off to a great start, she just allocated more money for hospitals in Mexico, her and Trump need to become best buddies.

Salute,
