A friend jammed in the French Quarter in New Orleans with his band, and he said it was awesome, he said the party was happening in the French Quarter, but he said that New Orleans needs cleaned up and needs a coat of paint, etc. The Colombian refugees are welcome in New Orleans, they roast and grind Colombian Coffee beans in New Orleans, and other goods from Colombia enter the Port at New Orleans. Colombians like bright cheerful colors, and they can clean New Orleans up and they can paint New Orleans bright cheerful colors. And they can plant trees, and lay cobblestones, and put in fountains, etc. New Orleans is one of our best cities, and we need to clean the city up and take pride in it, and New Orleans is an important Port City. And Shakira can jam in New Orleans, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.
Actually, goods from Columbia entering our ports is one of our problems.

Shakira and the Colombians can help to revitalize and boost New Orleans, and the Colombian Coffee is a great benefit. Sofia Vergara can open a restaurant in New Orleans, etc. The Colombians can move in and clean things up and can paint everything nice cheerful colors, etc.

My friend said New Orleans needs a boost, and the Colombians can bring the needed boost to New Orleans. I sent a post on Facebook to the President of Colombia and told him to expand trade with New Orleans and to improve relations with New Orleans, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

The world wide web is fantastic, and sometimes people do read what we send to them, I write to City Hall, and so my Representative from City Hall came to my apartment and she showed up at my door and she introduced herself. So, the Pope could be reading my posts to him, and Vice President Harris, and the President of Colombia, and Giorgia Meloni, and Mayor Bass, etc. Everyone is on Social Media now, even the Pope.

Salute,

Tony V.

Any Israel/Palestine two state solution with Hamas anywhere near it would be doomed to failure.

You do not think the Palestinians are tired of Hamas bringing down destruction, starvation and death on them?

Netanyahu and Hamas are in a deadly symbiotic relationship. As long as 5he war continues both have relevance.

Doomed to failure is the sacred motto of the entire Bambu model lifestyle and mindset.

Bambu has been doomed to failure for longer than Ford has been making automobiles.

LOL
More than a few Ford automobiles have been/are still doomed to failure.
One only has to read motoring articles/reviews etc to see it.
Not if bambu had been in charge.

If you had been in charge there would have been no company at all.

You have made your limitations clear. We are all very well versed in your shortcomings.

Dolly Parton is donating libraries for children all over, she is awesome. And I wish her continued success with Dollywood, etc.

Famous Amos sold cookies and used some of the money raised in order to fund a literacy program and to teach people how to read. The cookies were fantastic and the money went to teach people how to read.

I remember a movie that Johnny Cash made about a man who did not know how to read and who had to humble himself and learn how to read. It is a great movie, Johnny Cash was a good actor.

Right now twenty five percent of the people in Kentucky do not know how to read, so we need to fix that, and we need to educate the people of Kentucky, and the children of coal miners need to grow up to become doctors, and teachers, and scientists, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

A Bordello in Nevada donated a Lamborghini to the local Highway Patrol as a Publicity Stunt, there was a famous photo of the prostitutes posing with the Lamborghini that they had donated.

I think the only thing that the Calico Club Bordello in Battle Mountain, Nevada, was ever famous for was for having the sports stars from Los Angeles as clients.

At the Colt Casino, the only thing we were famous for was the Daughter of the Vice President of the Bank of New York was one of our waitresses, and we also had a young Mexican woman who made more in a prime time dinner shift of only 4 hours than the poor dishwasher made in 2 weeks, it pays to be young and beautiful when it comes to earning good tips. We had the most beautiful waitresses at the Colt. And our Head Chef was a retired chef from Beverly Hills, our food was amazing, we had Beverly Hills quality food in Battle Mountain, Nevada. ( Our Head Chef made a Stuffed Parmesan Chicken Breast dinner that was amazing... It was kind of like this recipe... https://tasty.co/recipe/stuffed-chicken-parmesan )

Dolly Parton did a movie with Burt Reynolds, "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" which can make you wonder how the Calico Club is like in Battle Mountain, Nevada. 

Salute,

Tony V.

Netanyahu and Hamas are in a deadly symbiotic relationship. As long as 5he war continues both have relevance.

You're living in a fool's paradise if you think that Hamas won't do exactly to a new Palestinian state what it did to Gaza...take it over and run/own it.
Hezbollah is doing exactly the same to Lebanon.
Won't be long before there's all out war in Lebanon, Israel has told Lebanon it will be holding it responsible for the hundreds of rockets being fired deeper and deeper into Israel by Hezbollah.
An invasion by Israel all the way to Beirut is likely.
Biden is going to have to decide soon if he stands with Israel or against it.
He'll need to get it right, or stand condemned in the eyes of the free/Western world.

Why do you think Hamas and Hezbollah exist and rose to power?
