You have mentioned that you are a reflexive racist before. Thanks for reminding us it is a chronic deteriorating condition for you. It is just funny that the race you most prefer does not actually exist

"Racist bigot" isn't it?

Do not sell yourself short. In addition to being a racist bigot you are also a useless fucktard, a brainless ass and butt ugly inside and out.

Tell me why turning USA into "Mexico/Central America/ South America" is a good idea.
They're the places people are drowning in the border river in a desperate bid to escape.

Mexico is our neighbor, Mexico is only 100 miles away from me here in Anaheim. And Mexico is a good Christian nation, they are all Christians.
No they are not, can you stop with that? I should point out that 8n addition to the millions of Jews, Muslims, atheists, Satanists and others living there Mexico has long been an officially secular state by Constitution.
Quote
There are  We need to help Mexico, and we need to stop the evil in Mexico to protect the good. We need to stop the evil in Mexico and in Central and South America and we need to foster good loving Christian civilization.
If they are all Christians, and yet there is still evil, what does that tell you about the idiotic simplicityof the view that  having a Christian society will dispell evil?

According to the 2020 Mexican government census (the most recent), approximately 78 percent of the population identifies as Roman Catholic (compared with 83 percent in 2010); 10 percent as Protestant or evangelical Protestant; and 1.5 percent as other religious groups, including Judaism, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.

-------------

We need to go in and help in Mexico as good loving neighbors, and Youth For Christ and the Catholic Church and others can help in Mexico, and Kiwanis International can help, and the Peace Corps can help, etc. There is also Franklin Graham and Samaritan's Purse who can help in Mexico, etc.

Building walls is not the answer.

Salute,

We need to support the Mental Health Association in Santa Ana, California, and other MHAs around the world. It is important for mentally ill people to have someplace to go to get help.

Darlene Powell formed the MHA in Santa Ana, she went to Washington DC and she got $60 million to open the MHA, and they opened a Thrift Store etc to keep funds coming in, and local people donate money to keep them running, etc. MHA was the only place in Orange County with all encompassing help for the mentally ill people.

Since then we have built a new Wellness Center in Orange that helps the mentally ill people, as well as helping anyone who needs help, and we need to open more Wellness Centers.

We need schools, and MHAs, and Wellness Centers, and Libraries, etc.

I have witnessed miracles happen at MHA, we were picking homeless people up off the street and putting them in housing and taking them to a psychiatrist and getting them diagnosed and placed on the appropriate medication, etc, and miracles happen, the people go from being in real bad shape to getting well and living better lives, some go to college, etc. And a lot of the people who are running the MHA are people who were helped by the MHA, they get well and then they go to work helping other people.

We also need to support Father Boyle and Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles.

Salute,

Tony V.

There is also Franklin Graham...

The homophobic bigot who rationalized Trump's racism, infidelity and chronic lying?  The Franklin Graham who made hateful attacks on Islamic people?  The guy who called gay people an abomination?  The guy who supported genocidal monster Hassan Al Bashir in Sudan?

I do not know of any bad things that Franklin Graham has done, but Samaritan's Purse is helping the poor people in Acapulco after the recent hurricane.

One thing that I noticed many years ago on the New York Times Forums for the Middle East, was that people need to create jobs and occupations for the Arabs, they cannot just live on oil money and on welfare, they need to work like the Israelis do. The Palestinians and the other Arabs need to work honest jobs. The Saudis can help to create jobs for the Arabs.

I have been looking at pictures of the orange groves in Israel, and Israel is growing eggplant, and other fruits and vegetables; the Palestinians and the Arabs need to be put to work doing honest labor. Egypt grows cotton, and more good things like that can happen.

And everyone needs to learn from Athens and Rome, and we all need libraries, and we need for our people to be poets and scholars, etc.

Israel has told the fleeing Palestinians not to return to Gaza, after they leave they need to stay away, and they can be Essential Workers in Abu Dhabi and in Dubai, etc, and they can grow fruits and vegetables to feed to the Arabs, etc.

I think the Middle East would be more peaceful if honest occupations were created for all of the inhabitants, and if more libraries were built, etc. We need to teach them honest farming, etc, and libraries need to be built, etc. And Ivanka Trump went to Saudi Arabia and was working to get them to give Business Loans to the Women of Saudi Arabia and that would be great if the Saudi Women could create honest jobs for the Palestinians, and for all of the Arabs, etc. The Arabs all need honest jobs, etc.

As the Arabs and Palestinians become Essential Workers in Abu Dhabi, and in Dubai, etc, then they can be grounded in many immediate and pressing issues such as good rights for workers, and fair pay and good treatment for workers, etc, and they can work for good rights for women and equal pay for equal work for women, etc. Instead of worrying about their bullshit that keeps them violent, then they need to learn the ways of Civilization and peace, and honest labor, and good rights for workers, etc. And they can have libraries, etc. And they can have plays, and books, and movies, etc, and it would be great if freedom of speech could grow in the Arab nations and in Iran.

I made a student film at USC with a film student from Turkey and he wanted to build an American style movie studio in Turkey to make movies for the Arabs, he was a cool guy, and he loved Spielberg. Also, Elia Kazan was born in Istanbul. If you can change how the Arabs think and feel, then you can change how they behave, and movies and television shows and music, etc, all have the power to change how people think and feel and thus can change how people behave.

Business Loans for the Arab Women is a great idea, they also need Labor Leaders like Cesar Chavez, Eugene V. Debs, and Jimmy Hoffa, and good guys like Abraham Lincoln, and Henry David Thoreau, etc.

We need to take away their guns, and we need to give them plows instead. We need to teach them the ways of peace and the ways of Civilization. They can work 40 hours per week in the orange grove, and after work they can watch good healthy shows on television with their families. Etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Useful news outlet for stories of science and society that are sometimes overlooked by MSM.

Musk bought Twitter, but if I was building my Empire then I would rather have America On Line, I have some great ideas for AOL, and I still have my original AOL account.

And I would buy Universal Studios, and then now that Hugh Hefner is gone I would have Universal buy Playboy and I would bring back the Playboy Channel and I would hire guys from National Lampoon at Harvard to save Playboy Magazine. I have a lot of good ideas.

I would also buy a vineyard and winery in Tuscany, and it would be cool to own a night club in Rome.

We will see what happens, and God is going to send me a wife eventually as a helper and we can build an Empire together, and we can have children and we can start a family etc.

Salute,

Great news!

Daily Telegraph;

Nowhere in the world will be safe for Hamas' leadership, with Israel planning to kill the terror group's kingpins across the globe, including the man dubbed 'the bin Laden of Gaza'.

GAZA = BAKERSFIELD

Was curious how small Gaza is, given the frequent and quite credible use of the word crammed to describe conditions of the people there.

140 square miles.   So it is the size of Bakersfield CA.  Bakersfield has 400,000 people, who can come and go from there, and is surrounded by accessible open land and a nation which it is part of.  Gaza has 2.2 million people, penned in like animals.  And they are currently confined to about half of that land area, due to the wholesale destruction of North Gaza.  So it is currently a state with about ten times the population density of Bakersfield.  In its better days,  it was five times.

So this leads me to wonder, as bombing has now resumed by Israel, of the southern part of Gaza, where are all these civilians supposed to flee to while the war continues.

Just some thoughts.  Not interested today in having a partisan pissing contest.
