That Bawl you keep threatening to take home must be tethered here by a rubber band.

You suffer from the persistent grandiose delusion that my cessation of chatting with you is the same as me leaving the forum.  I remain here, in the cyber sense, to enjoy and learn from the observations, japes, jests and zingers of Yank, Lime, Larry, Fac, and DeeJ.
No wonder your avatar is an anus. You still in grade school?

Never Forget.

We will not forget.

After Charlottesville you will never leave our sights.

The antisemitism of the white man is at least ten times more dangerous than the antisemitism of the brown man in this country, as any Jew can tell you.

Youtube

"'Fairytale of New York' played at Shane MacGowan's Funeral"

Live band, mostly older folk, ...
now that's a jumpin, rockin, funeral!
Dancing, cheering, clapping.
What a great tribute.

Fac is correct!

One of the shortcomings in our national memory to the many POGROMS here is the USA following the end of Reconstruction in 1878 and the conclusion of WWI that left Black Americans bereft of properties and businesses wiping out generational wealth.

Instead of telling Black people to Never Forget we are told to Get Over It as Christopher Rufo and Republican legislatures try to wipe out our history and reverse that gains of the Civil Rights movement.

SkyNews today:

"Australia's muticulturalism at 'crossroads'."

#####

Multiculturalism is a menace.
It's been a dismal failure in Britain/Europe, former UK PM Cameron and former German Chancellor
Merkel said so.
Well it's all their own fault, the politicians and voters there were warned but refused to listen, it's too late now, the clock has struck midnight and cannot be wound back.

Same in Australia but the politicians and voters are still living in a world of fantasy.

Bibi defied the Biden Do not and clearly showed Iran Israel determination.
Now America needs a similar leader to counter the misguided Obama/Biden
Appeasement to the mullahs.

The only menace and dismal failure is Bambu.

I walked thru the streets of Tehran yesterday (Youtube).
No traffic lanes on the roads, vehicles just do their best.

Went into a mall, 3 levels, shops had latest baggy pants, T shirts and baseball caps for men. Sneakers of all types, jewellery stores...other assorted stores 'as usual'.

Hard to walk on sidewalks, merchants cluttering up the space.
Littering is obviously not frowned upon.

Large billboards of the Ayatollah everywhere.

I wouldn't be rushing to live there...if I were looking for somewhere.

SkyNews:

"Families sue US prisons."

Missing organs after death/autopsies.

University of Alabama school of medicine mentioned.

Bibi to Iran LAST TAG!

That is how serious that strike was.
Note bene
If Trump had not blown up the nuclear deal with Iran there would have been no opening for Russia to gain influence. But then again Trump is a Russian asset so he was just following orders.

The net-zero brigade in bambuworld seem hellbent on 'going up' not 'out' [building hi-rise apartment blocks by the *millions*, and not developing land and building homes.]

Underneath these apartment blocks full of people they want everyone to have an electric car and charge them there.
Charming.
Ahem, electric car fires anyone?
Barbecued apartment dwellers anyone?

Green realists are already warning green dreamers that it's a very bad idea, given the propensity of electric car batteries to explode in flames.
Electric car batteries, electric bike batteries, electric scooter batteries...look at all those fires.
One such electric car battery exploded while charging in a home garage in America, blew the garage door off its *hinges* and down the driveway. [Colorado?]
The door hit a fireman on the head, luckily he was wearing a helmet.

That is how Empire West is in West Hollywood, 19 stories straight up with a club house and a swimming pool on the roof, with 4 stories underground for parking. Empire West is where all of the stars live who need security guards and door men and valets, etc. Many of the women at Empire West have stalkers, etc. Empire West is a good, safe spot for the stars, like for Shakira, and for Margot Robbie, etc.

For nice housing, I kind of like the housing at Santorini, Greece, and there can be swimming pools and tennis courts, and that is what I would suggest for Battle Mountain, Nevada, they should bring in the Greek architects when they build, and they can have an island atmosphere out in the middle of Nevada. With libraries, etc. And an amphitheater where they can have shows, etc, like in Greece. 

Anaheim is going to be rolling in the money, Disney is spending a lot of money here, and Newsom is giving tax breaks for producers to film, and money is being invested in Hollywood Blvd, good things are happening in California, and Mayor Bass is doing a great job, etc.

And we need more subways, and high speed trains. For Battle Mountain, Nevada, they have a Greyhound Bus Station so people can get there by Bus, and they have an Airport, and the Union Pacific Railroad runs through Battle Mountain.

And of course cheap sober living houses are needed, and cheap hostels where people can get a cheap shower and a bed. In Battle Mountain, Nevada, they had a nice tavern with rooms for rent above the tavern for $100 per month, which would be great for a Veteran, or for someone who wants to go explore Battle Mountain.

Salute,

Tony V.
