Sky News tonite;

"Judeo-Christian values under attack".

That is correct.

It's because the Judeo-Christians are way too nice. Too appeasing, too tolerant, too politically correct, too weak in their resolve.
Time for change!
If the change you seek is to rigidity, hate, anger and war-making then you seem well on the way.

This is one of John Oliver's best LWT reports.  On UFOs.  Sharp, funny, and manages to present an excellent summary of the last eighty years of investigation, hype, myth, true believers, hardened skeptics, and the rest of us who are basically what the fuck IS that?  My money is still on, the Pentagon is lying but they're lying about earthly technology of an experimental nature and not little gray aliens .

you lack the wit to fashion your own response. "No, you are" is all you have. Pathetic.

I knew you could not handle that one.

Your comments are easy to handle provided i have access to tongs.

Or better yet, one of these:

Paramount Studios is for sale for $11 Billion.

Maybe Arnold, Sly, Mel Gibson, and those guys can get together and buy Paramount. When Mel Gibson made "Braveheart" then that was with Paramount, and when I called Mel's production company to submit a headshot and resume then his office was at Paramount at that time.

I would rather own Universal Studios, including with the studio and theme park in Orlando. But, it would be good if Paramount sells to good people who are altruistic here in Hollywood, and they can help the neighborhood around Paramount, and they can support the local film and acting schools, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Pope Francis is a Christian, and Pope Francis just joined the G-7, and Pope Francis has the support of Giorgia Meloni. Look to Pope Francis, and to the King of Spain, and to Giorgia Meloni, as allies. And the Philippines is a good Christian country, and Latin America.

And money has power in Latin America, you can change the world in Latin America just with money. My Grandmother opened Gold Mines in Mexico and they loved her, she helped to bring Civilization to some very poor areas, the mining companies brought in electricity for the people, and running water, and paved roads, and telephones, and television, and radio, etc, they brought civilization to some very poor parts of Mexico.

Now, I have teen Islamics [Muslims if you like] allegedly plotting terror attacks in my world, France, and who knows where else.
Gonna be targeting Jewish folk...their writings allegedly say.
Calling themselves "soldiers of Allah".
Ranting shakes saying whatever they like, "free speech"...one 'preacher' holding court in the street in SW Sydney immediately after Oct 7, beside himself with sheer delight at the Hamas slaughter in Israel. Seemingly whipping up the gathered crowd into a frenzy.
All just allowed.
The leftist state and federal govts need booting out of office.

"Soldiers of Allah"?

If their ilk are not careful they could run into the "soldiers of Jesus"...as in the 'Cronulla Riots'.
The leftist state and federal govts seem to have learnt nothing from that horror.

Casey Winchell Napolitano of the Winchell Donut fame has opened a new Tennis Club in Calabasas. Very cool. I told the builders of the homes for the homeless that they all need to build tennis courts and swimming pools as they build new housing. And here in Anaheim Pearson Park has Tennis Courts, this is a good City, and my apartment complex has a nice swimming pool.

And Bambu, the Pope is a good Christian, and we have over 1 Billion Roman Catholics on our team. And France has the French Foreign Legion, the people from Latin America and from the Philippines can join the French Foreign Legion.

Dave Mustaine is playing in El Salvador right now, they all love American Rock and Roll.

And Sammy Hagar just got his star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, he was in my living room in Malibu, he was friends with the lady who I rented a room from, that was great.

Salute,

Tony V.

Youtube:

98% of Americans can't answer these 6 questions:

1. What country borders the United States to the north?

2. What's the only U.S. state that starts with the letter "F"?

3. What is the only U.S. state to have a different official language besides english?

4. Which river flows through the heart of New York City?

5. What was the New York City called before?

6. From which country did the United States gain its independence in 1776?

No matter how bad a situation is, we can rest assured that Congress, in all its glory, will make it worse.

320-91 eh?
Wow a real cliffhanger.

The bill outlines its targets.
Those who claim the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor,
applying double standards,to Israel that are not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation, and drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.

And you cannot support it? Why?
