Bambu proves once again that world looks very different to those looking up at it from inside the bottom of a toilet bowl than it does to the rest of us.

Indeed.
There are two men...

One...the American man, armed with small and big guns with which to defend himself, his family, and his home.
His country armed to the max with the biggest and best conventional and nuclear weapons known to mankind.

Two...the Australian man,  totally unarmed...not allowed weapons of any kind with which to defend himself, his family, and his home.
His country basically unarmed...few ships, smallish air force, dwindling number of troops in army.
No nuclear weapons.
No hope, relying totally on the generosity of others for its security.

If you were found with a firearm, Bambu, you would likely be beaten upside the head with it.

Likely Mrs. Bambu would be near or at the head of the queue.

You have not stumbled across the movie Airplane on YouTube, or perhaps a clip, have you?

Blessed are the Peacemakers.

I really did have a roommate in Malibu who was the daughter of a Chinese General, it was not Hollywood fantasy, and we made peace, and we became good friends while we lived in the same house. We can have peace with China. China wants trade, and peace. Keep the Chinese busy with honest Business, and everything will be cool. I would also like to see Labor Unions happen in China that are independent of their government which can lead to more wealth for the good honest workers in China and unions can help to grow the Middle Class in China. Meanwhile, Sunkist is selling products to China from farmers here in California, etc, and China is buying more products from the USA everyday. We can have peace and trade with China.

In Russia, we have the artists and dancers on our team, there was Stanislavsky, and Anton Chekhov, and Michael Chekhov, etc. And New York is full of Russian descendants and they have the Russian Tea Room at Central Park in New York. We need for the good people to rise and to take charge of Russia. We cannot allow ignorant thugs and bullies to control the planet. We need for wise old peaceful leaders to lead. We need to find people in Russia who we can support, and we need to overthrow Putin and replace him with the good people in Russia. Putin needs to be locked in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

We need to always be spending money on the Peace Corps, and blessed are the Peace Makers.

For Iran, there is Mahlagha Jaberi who wants to help lead change and an improvement in Human Rights in Iran. And Farah Pahlavi lives in France, France is a powerful force in Iran. And we have one million Persians living in Los Angeles, with 40% of the children in the schools of Beverly Hills being Persians from Iran. We need to work for peace and improved human rights with Iran. And they are rich from Oil, etc, the oil prices are high and they are making money from oil. If we removed the sanctions on Iran then they would be wealthy quickly because of the oil.

There is also the issue of Cuba, now would be a good time to push for freedom and good human rights in Cuba, and we need to remove the sanctions on Cuba so they can make money and rise.

Lots of good things are happening in Mexico, and in Colombia, etc, we are making progress, and we can send representatives from Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles to El Salvador to teach them how to handle their gang  situation, etc, and we can send representatives from Boy's Town to El Salvador to teach them how to help the orphans, etc.

Meanwhile Pope Francis is a great man of peace.

And Mayor Bass is doing all that she can to help the homeless in Los Angeles, and they need to build cheap hostels and cheap Sober Living Homes, etc.

Also, Governor Newsom is making sure that every person in California has health care, regardless of immigration status. We also need to build more Free Clinics for Medical Care, like the Free Clinic on Beverly Blvd by the Beverly Center.

Salute,

Tony V.

Huntington Beach has a very nice hotel where Dogs are welcome, and the food is fantastic, and they also have a Dog Beach in Huntington where you can take your Dog on the Beach. The prices are kind of high, but the quality is fantastic. 

In Anaheim there is a Dog Park at La Palma Park, which is right by the original Carl's Jr, it is a good spot to buy Hamburgers from Carl's Jr and to eat in the Park. And the prices are cheap with this option.

Salute,

Tony V.

Well, obviously it is not meant to be taken literally; it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.

Christina Pascucci wants to have involuntary intervention for the mentally ill, and I warned her of a few concerns...

One is that innocent people can be locked in a mental hospital simply because they do not go along with the rich and powerful people, as was shown in the movie "Changeling" which stars Angelina Jolie and which was made by Clint Eastwood, that movie was based on a true story.

Also, they put harmless good people in with the worst of the worst. They were putting guys from Patton State Hospital for the Criminally Insane in with the harmless people, and they put criminals fresh out of prison in with the harmless people who simply had a nervous breakdown from being homeless, etc. They need to separate people, they need to stop putting the good honest peaceful people in with the criminally insane. And I told her about how bad the Sylmar Mental Hospital was and it is probably still bad.

I also told her to talk with Geraldo Rivera, Geraldo got famous from reporting on how bad our mental hospitals were at that time, Christina Pascucci needs to talk with Geraldo Rivera about the mental hospitals.

And some people need to be treated in a nice garden environment instead of a prison type environment. There needs to be places where the good peaceful people can get help without being locked in with the criminals, etc.

It is a slippery slope once they approve of locking people in mental hospitals against their will.

Salute,

Tony V.

Interesting case for the discredited High Court:

Chevron Deference: The Supreme Court heard arguments in a case over a fishing regulation that could overturn a key precedent on the power of federal agencies, a long-sought goal of the conservative legal movement.

Another move to dismantle the so-called deep state: fed regulatory power.

When statues are ambiguous (poorly written by Congress) whose interpretations should be followed? The agencies or the courts?

Solution:  Elect Congress members who can write and read UNAMBIGUOUSLY!

Big business wins 6-3. Chevron 1984 is out.
Good Riddance.
The Constitution wins again.

Stare decisis no longer exists, at least to the extent to which it conflicts with the right wing political goals of an activist Supreme Court. If that is the eventual ruling.

I think I would rather grab something from El Pollo Fino than from Carls.

El Pollo Fino is on Anaheim Blvd, by Taco Boy, and then across the street and down a little ways is the Guadalajara Restaurant, I recommend the Guadalajara Restaurant, they used to be open 24 hours per day, and the food is great. You can get food to go and then go to the Dog Park at La Palma Park and you can eat while your dog plays. Or, the Guadalajara Restaurant has outdoor dining where you can bring your dog.

The Guadalajara Restaurant makes wonderful Horchata to drink with your food, I love their Horchata.

Salute,

City Hall is on Anaheim Blvd, and the Mayor loves El Pollo Fino, and also some old famous boxers hang out there. El Pollo Fino receives a lot of famous customers.

And my neighborhood has a lot of new immigrants from Guadalajara so the Guadalajara Restaurant is where all of the Locals go with their families, it is a special treat for the poor immigrants when they get to eat at the Guadalajara Restaurant, it is where all of the Locals eat.
