Jimmy: There's gonna be a war, man. I can see it. Theres gonna be a war between the blacks and between the whites. You aint even gonna need a uniform no more. This aint gonna be a war where you pick your side. Your side's already picked for you.
...


Well, who are the half-castes going to fight with?

The blacks, obviously.

The Old National Bank in Louisville is Gun Free Zone. Employees face severe penalties for violations.
Which leads to the obvious.
A former employee knows those rules.

Four dead defenseless employees.
Too bad banks do not have armed guards.
Gun free Zone

Thick as a brick.

Red will circle back to blame the bank shooting on lax anti-abortion laws and our sick fixation on prosecuting the perpetrators of white collar crime.

One of the coolest guys I ever met was named Richard, and he had his own charity named "Food Without Borders" and he used to go into areas where it was against the law to feed the homeless, and he would pass out sandwiches and bottles of water to the homeless people, including here in Hollywood where it was illegal to feed the homeless.

I had the privilege of being able to cook a huge feast for a shelter full of homeless people, 14 homeless guys lived in the shelter and I cooked a huge wonderful feast, and Richard was at the feast, and he said that I passed the test. He said it was a wonderful meal and that I am a great cook and that I passed the test. I was a cook at a casino in Battle Mountain, Nevada, for 2 years, so I am a great cook ( Our head chef was a retired chef from Beverly Hills, we had great food at the casino ). It was wonderful to cook for a guy who spent his life feeding the homeless, Richard was a cool guy.

And I just want peace. We need for the good people to always speak up to stop the wars. And we need to support the ACLU and equality.

Salute,

Tony V.

I have seen successful programs to help the homeless here in Orange County, but the programs were being supported by rich people from the Philippines, they bought houses and they filled the houses with the homeless people and they cooked for the homeless people, etc. And they worked together with the Mental Health Association, etc. The MHA was getting money from every direction, federal money, and money from the state, county, cities, and from charities, etc, and they had thrift stores, etc. And they worked together with N/A and A/A to help the addicts, etc.

I went to a meeting where I sat next to the Mayor of Laguna Beach while everyone discussed how to better help the homeless people. The main first step is to get them into housing, then they can be helped.

And we need Hostels like in Rome, Italy, where people can take a shower and where they can sleep in a bed for $15 per night.

The Churches can also help. I used to go to a Catholic Church with a priest from Ireland, and they used to feed the homeless people on Sunday after church, they had big wonderful feasts after church. The Church buses can pick up the homeless people to go to Church on Sundays, and the Churches can feed the homeless after Church. And they can help the homeless to get into housing, etc, and they can help the homeless to find jobs, etc. We have the Catholic Churches, and we have the Calvary Chapel Open Door, and we have other churches which can help the homeless. And it is good for the people to go to Church on Sunday and they make good friends in Church, there is brotherly love in Church.

My friend Tom used to have a team of volunteers to raise money to feed the hungry, they sold hot dogs and beer at sporting events, etc, and they raised over one million dollars for charity to feed the hungry people. In Los Angeles and elsewhere the homeless people, and the people from N/A, etc, can volunteer to sell hot dogs and beer to raise money for charity, and it is good for their self esteem to feel useful.

And we have Kiwanis International which is global.

We also have a Wellness Center in Orange which will get the homeless into housing, and they will help the Mentally Ill, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

My Mother has a cousin who is a Mormon, and he lives in Utah with other Mormons, they have a great support system, and they help each other. He has a big loving community of Mormons. I kind of envy that, he is lucky to have a tight knit community like that. I could never be a Mormon, but I get along good with the Catholics and I like to live with the Catholics. Rome was great, I was surrounded by Catholics.

I tried going to the Calvary Chapel Open Door, but the first thing they asked me was about what I did for a living. I would feel more comfortable if the church was full of homeless people, like in the movie "Jesus Revolution" and if they did not care about what I did for a living. Maybe the Calvary Chapel Open Door will invite the homeless, and maybe they will become less concerned about what people do for a living. They need to have church buses taking the homeless people to the Calvary Chapel Open Door and they need to love people without being concerned about what people do for a living. But, I am going to go give the Calvary Chapel Open Door another chance.

And meanwhile, I watch Dr Charles Stanley on Sundays, he is great, if I was in Georgia then I would go to his church.

Salute,

Tony V.

Flagmans Sober Living Homes has both Male and Female beds available.

(714) 745-0948

Housing for the homeless in Orange County, California.

And then Church buses need to pick up the people from the sober living homes to take them to church on Sundays, and also the people from the sober living homes can do charity work selling beer and hot dogs at sporting events, etc, to raise money for charity to feed the hungry and to help other homeless people, etc.

Salute,

Maybe if churches were better churches they would attract parishioners without having to resort to press ganging those least able to escape or resist.

Some people think that school is a waste of time, but if you learn how to write, produce, and direct movies, then you can make movies anywhere you want, you can make movies here in Southern California where all of the great schools are, and once you learn how to make movies then you can make movies at Cinecitta in Rome, Italy, or anywhere you want to work. You can write your own ticket to success if you can learn how to make movies. An education is very worthwhile if you can learn how to be a successful filmmaker, and then you also can have your own voice and you can tell the stories that you want to tell.

I do not regret going to school to try to learn to become an actor and filmmaker, I only wish that I would have gotten more training so that I can complete my goal of making movies. And I can create local opportunities for the young film students as they graduate from film school.
 
I just need to keep moving forward, my movie script is good, and I have some good ideas. And eventually I want to find a wife to help me, I can find a wife who wants to write and produce movies, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Gene Autry owned the Angels baseball team, and KTLA channel 5 here in Los Angeles, from acting and making movies.

If I was rich and powerful like Gene Autry was, then the people would listen to my ideas when it comes to helping the homeless, etc, instead of just ignoring me and treating me like a poor dumb homeless guy.

When you succeed then people listen, Reagan was an actor who became President, and Arnold was Governor of California.

I read that a huge percentage of people do not read books after they finish high school, and those people would never make it as film producers, producers need to read scripts all of the time, and novels, etc, the reading never ends if you want to make movies. You have to love to read if you want to work in Show Business.

And I need to establish a working relationship with Apple when it comes to making movies, and television shows, and to publish my poetry book, etc.

Salute,

There will be room on the dial for better programming. The loser generation will have to get its fake news somewhere else.

I like real news, I do not like it when they have some young girl screaming her opinions at you, I do not consider that to be enjoyable nor informative. I would rather watch real news with older educated and wise people, and I like it when they have retired lawyers who are telling us about the legal cases, etc, I want real experts on the news.

The last time I watched Fox they had young girls screaming their opinions at me, and I had to change the channel.

Salute,
