A new train is being built between Los Angeles and Palm Springs...

Palm Springs is a nice area...
It is no Battle Mountain.

US Senate tells Schumer and Fetterman to shove their shorts  and hoodies  up their asses.
Thank you...

If they complied they would be even less dressed than they are now.  Not really progress, even in your priggish worldview.

Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickles down... But he didnt know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellows hands.

Happy to be priggish. So does the Senate.

I bet Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin would have liked Battle Mountain, Nevada.

And sadly I never met Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. I met Bob Hope, and I escorted Phyllis Diller at Bob Hope's Birthday Party at Universal Studios in Hollywood, but I never met Frank and Dean. When I worked for Suzanne Pleshette I was invited to Sinatra's Funeral, but I did not attend the funeral, but I would have loved to have met Sinatra when he was alive.

Salute,

Tony V.

Today is National Silent Movie Day, so here is my Silent Movie that I made at USC film school...

https://youtu.be/GJ2wBMgs-lQ

We shot it on 16 mm Black and White film, and the guy did a fantastic job on the Editing, and the whole team did a great job on the Sound. It is professional quality. The film student was from Turkey, and he entered our film in a contest where the winner got to be an Assistant for Spielberg, but our film did not win the contest. The film student, Bekir Serdar Cakir, wanted to open an American style movie studio in Turkey and he wanted to make movies for the Arabs, that was his dream. I lost contact with him after an earthquake in Turkey, I hope he survived the earthquake.

Salute,

Tony V.

If you want to win the hearts and minds of the Arabs then the best way is to be the ones who are making the movies and television shows for the Arabs. And also News and Magazines, etc.

Donald Trump is here in Anaheim today, he flew in during an air show on the beach and was seen by the crowd.

We need for some sane Republicans to speak truth to these zombies who are blindly following Trump. Condoleezza Rise is awesome, and she needs to speak up right now to the Republican party. George W. Bush needs to speak truth to the Republican Party, Jeb Bush needs to speak up, and others.

I went for a nice walk to the store today, and I think I saw David Hasselhoff while I waited to cross the street. That is a fun thing about Anaheim is stars come here, you see stars at the market and at the parks and  on the sidewalks. Orange County has a lot of stars here, I need to find someone to help me make my movie and publish my book. Anyhow, it is fun, you never know who you will see. You might see Ariana Grande at the market, you just never know.

Salute,

Tony V.

Horrible floods in NYC.
I would never live in a basement apartment.
Guess you'd get enough warning about the rising water to be able to get out in time...and not have your life ended like the second class passengers locked below deck in the Titanic, the first class passengers having escaped in the life boats.
But, what if...the floodwater came at night when you were sound asleep, and the force of it stopped your door/s from opening.

Who elects these clowns, exactly? As it turns out, almost none of us.

Geting Americans to vote in primaries would be one of the most powerful reforms possible of our broken system.

Today I toured the Southern Border in AZ with two different Sheriffs and a guy reporter...via Youtube.
The consensus?

The cartels are laughing...at how easy it is, and how much money they're making.
Bellylaughing....."HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

Who is law enforcement blaming?
Answer: Washington.

USD 7,000 per illegal immigrant the cartels are charging.
13+ yr olds are leaving Phoenix in Chargers, driving down to roads near the border, pulling off the roads at designated places and picking up illegals...and getting paid USD 3,000 per person picked up.
They sometimes get into high speed chases with the cops.
The cartels are also into sex trafficking.
Illegal immigrants are dying.
"Ask yourself why your hospital bills are so high?" said one Sheriff.
"$60million every week is being spent on the illegals."

I lived in Anaheim in my youth right after college. Down the road from Disney. One of my favorite places. Learned Omaha hi-lo stayed at a place called Club Continental Apts. Beached at Newport.

No.  Not what her analysis is finding.  Read the column.  She's talking about Congress.  You know, those people who make laws and distribute the federal budget.

Very cool, Anaheim is a great city, I am blessed here.

This apartment is nice, and I have good neighbors, and a swimming pool, and barbecues with natural gas piped in. There is a park in one direction that has tennis courts and an amphitheatre, and then there is a beautiful park in another direction with the original Carl's Jr next to it so I can buy food from Carl's Jr and I can eat in the park, it is great. We also have a Calvary Chapel Church in my neighborhood on the other side of the park. And we have great markets, etc.

My favorite house in my neighborhood is a simple Mid Century Modern, all white with lots of palm trees.

I saw Hugh Laury at the market, and lots of stars shop there, you never know who you will see at the market.

Anaheim has been a blessing for me.

Salute,

Tony V.
