The only thing we did not get from the settlement is an on air admission and apology. But not agreeing to that by Faux News was surely Smart... matic. There is an even larger claim pending that admitting the validity or the Dominion suit would probably sink them in. Note the agreed statement where Faux News had to "acknowledge the Court's ruling" that claims they broadcast were false. Language designed to not be an admission that could be used against them in Court.

Just a bad break. Remember the bad people are lurking.

But, you can't just go shooting people because they pull into your driveway or knock on your door.

Mayor Bass is doing a great job, and Los Angeles has come a long ways since I was homeless there for 2 years in 1998-99, back when I was homeless in Los Angeles it was even against the law to feed the homeless, there were times when I went up to 3 days without eating when I was homeless in Los Angeles. Thank God that people care about the homeless now, and thank God that Mayor Bass is helping the homeless. We need to show love for our homeless people, and it could happen to anyone, and also many of our homeless people are foster youth, and abused women. Thank God that views have changed over the last 25 years in regard to helping the homeless. And now we need to go a step further and we need to have a Jesus Revolution and the Churches all need to welcome and help the homeless.

Salute,

Tony V.

Mayor Bass has my support, and whoever runs her Facebook page invited me to continue to share my ideas on their page and they said that they value my ideas. Mayor Bass is cool, I like her.

Salute,

Bambu, I agree with you about having strangers in my home, I do not allow any strangers in my home. Once I let a stranger use my restroom and he stole a bottle of Drakkar Noir worth $80 and so now I will not even allow a stranger to use my restroom.

When I lived in Malibu in a family home on the beach with the ex-wife of a Doctor and their two daughters, and also the daughter of a Chinese general lived there, and a research scientist who worked on artificial joints such as hips and knees, etc, I had a great Character Reference in order to get into the beach house, I had Roy Rogers and Dale Evans as my Character Reference, and the Lady who owned the house was a huge fan of Roy and Dale. Plus, I had a college degree, and I attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, so she could tell that I am a good guy.

But, I agree with you when it comes to inviting people into my home, I do not allow strangers in my home.

The best way to help the refugees from Ukraine is to have group homes full of beds and ran by ex-military guys.

Salute,

Tony V.

Mayor Bass is bringing in Mental Health Professionals to help the homeless people instead of sending in cops with guns, and it cannot happen soon enough, a homeless man was just killed for sleeping at the mall, a female cop shot him when he began to fight her, it should not have been a lone female with a gun handling that situation, it should have been a trained team of Mental Health Professionals. There was no reason for the mentally ill homeless man to die. Mayor Bass already knows this, and she is bringing in Mental Health Professionals to help the homeless instead of sending in cops with guns.

That was misguided...nothing like concentration camps, as is understood by the meaning.
More like 'dorms'.

You choose your euphemism for mass forced segregated housing based on ethnicity, with armed guards, and I will choose mine. But I have lived in dorms and what Tony describes aint that.

Well, we could call them internment camps which is a nicer way of saying concentration camp.

Second time this week Tony has proposed helping a group in need with concentration camps.  Can't hardly wait for the third!  Who will be in his crosshairs next?  Fat people?  Heavy gamblers?  Agnostics?

We used to call those concentration camps.

When I was homeless here in California I was placed in a group home run by an ex-military guy and it was heaven when compared to being homeless and hungry on the street.

I was a clean and sober homeless man with a college degree here in California, and I studied and trained to work in the Entertainment Industry which is a prevailing industry here in California, I should have been able to earn an honest living and I should have been able to have a family and a home. I am not a criminal, even selling hamburgers to the tourists should have been an option, instead of being a homeless bum. And it was against the law to feed me when I was homeless. I am damaged, and I have a bad attitude. I tried to move to Italy, if I could have gotten a job  in Italy then I would have stayed in Italy, there is no reason for me to be in the United States anymore, this place no longer represents me. If I have to be homeless here, while I work so hard to have a home and a family to no avail, then fuck it. I used to love America, but America does not love me. When I was homeless and hungry on the streets then it was against the law to feed me.

We have come a long way in the last 25 years, and now Hollywood is allowed to feed and house the homeless people, but for me the damage is done. And I was one of the good people, I cared and I worked and studied hard, there was no reason for me to be homeless and hungry on the streets.

Salute,

Tony V.
