We have to thank Australia for starting the trend by dumping Scummo. Their subsequent good results provide evidence that swinging left is the better choice.

I spent the day one day at the Park Plaza Hotel, and there at MacArthur Park, we took a tour of the hotel, and we raked the park and cleaned it up. It is a beautiful hotel and park, and above the door-way of the hotel is written the Golden Rule, "Treat other people the way that you yourself want to be treated," everyone who enters the hotel sees the Golden Rule as they enter.

The Park Plaza Hotel would be a good place for Oscar Night Parties, like Norby Walters threw with "Night of 100 Stars." The stars can ride in their limousines from Hollywood to Los Angeles and they can party and eat at the Park Plaza Hotel, and they can have an outdoor party and bar at MacArthur Park, etc, and then the stars can sleep in the rooms at the Park Plaza Hotel, they can party all night and they can sleep right there at the hotel. They can have the best chefs, and the best bands, etc.

Maybe the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, and Mayor Bass, etc, can help to set the party up, or maybe Comcast can help to set it up, or something. The Park Plaza Hotel and MacArthur Park would be the perfect place for an Oscar Night Party for the stars.

Salute,

Tony V.

The Oscars is like the Super Bowl or the World Series of Acting and Movie-Making. I have always loved the Oscars. We need to bring it back to being a fun night here in Hollywood. Norby Walters no longer does Night of 100 Stars, and also Elton John used to throw parties on Oscar Night, but now new people need to step in and throw fun new parties. The new younger people need to step in and they need to start throwing parties for Oscar Night, it is a special night for Hollywood. We need to take it over, this is a hometown event, I think Oscar Night is a night worth celebrating in Hollywood where we are the heart of the entertainment industry, Oscar Night is a special night for Hollywood.

And the Park Plaza Hotel and MacArthur Park there in Los Angeles is the perfect place for an Oscar Night Party with the best chefs and with the best bands and they can even have expensive sheets on the beds that they sleep on at the Park Plaza Hotel.

Oscar Night is supposed to be a special night for Hollywood, and the young people need to pick up the ball and the young people need to produce good and fun Oscar Night Parties.

And if people like Harvey Weinstein want to do bad things then we can kick them out of Hollywood, but we cannot punish all of Hollywood for a few bad apples. We can get rid of the bad apples, and we can save the tree.

Salute,

Then the Left/far Left, led by your hero Albo, ran their Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum.
Told porky pies by omission, parading around in fancy 'Yes' T shirts, corporations giving them many millions each for their 'woke' campaign.
Denied it was all really about "Voice, Treaty, Truth"...Truth being reparations.
They got smashed in the referendum, the NO vote being 64%.
They were in tears, the shock of their loss too much for many, had to take time off work to recover.

Trouble the Right has getting elected is that voting is compulsory, 90% vote, and if a candidate doesn't get 50% of the vote..."preferential voting" kicks in...and over the top come the Greens with their 10%, added to Labor ( Labour party in Britain, no 'u' in Labor party Aust) candidates, so many of them win seats as a result.
It is said that "A vote for the Greens is a vote for Labor".

Leftists in NSW south coast electorates are outraged that Albo and co are gonna build a massive wind turbine set up off the coast there.
Migratory whales, bird life, cost, and for a small amout of electricity generation.

In the Daily Telegraph comments section of most articles, political wars are fought by the People.
In the ones about these wind turbines, leftists (many were shown to be Scomo-haters when the massive fires were raging) are being told:
"Suck it up, you voted for them" (Albo and co).
"Be careful what you wish for, and who you vote for!"

City of Rancho Cucamonga - City Government

Privately owned and operated, Brightline West broke ground on the first true high-speed rail system in the nation that will connect Las Vegas to Southern California via Rancho Cucamonga.

Cucamonga Station will be the first high-speed rail station in the U.S. that will provide direct connections to air, bus, and local passenger rail, all in one place. A potential increase to the Transient Occupancy Tax also known as a hotel visitor tax,  could help the City capitalize on the new revenue from tourists and business travelers. Learn more at www.CityofRC.us/TOT

-------

We need to quickly connect Rancho Cucamonga with Anaheim and Disneyland, and also with Los Angeles.

Then we have the California High Speed Rail that will connect Rancho Cucamonga up with San Francisco, and San Diego, etc, and Merced, etc.

We need for the Knights of Columbus, and the YMCA, and Kiwanis International, etc, to open hostels where people can shower and sleep in a bed for $15 per night in all of the locations.

We also need to make the trains, subways, buses, etc, safe with plenty of security and cameras, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

I visited a friend who stayed for a while in a mental hospital.  Really, nobody there seemed all that crazy.  So I told my friend, There is not one Cucamonga.

The concept of electric cars is great.
The reality, today...is a long way from great
Maybe some time in the distant future, when all the problems get fixed.

I remember back when I was a child when we would drive from the desert to Los Angeles, and the smog was so bad in Los Angeles that it would burn my eyes and hurt my lungs, and now because of hard work we have clean air, the air in Los Angeles is clean now. We have made a lot of progress. Now we just need to clean up the water and stop polluting the ocean, etc.

On the issue of solar power, my mother has solar panels with a battery system out in the desert, and she loves it, she was paying $300 per month just for electricity before she got solar, and now she just pays a small fraction of that, and she has a huge air conditioner and a swimming pool. And also the solar industry is employing Veterans to install the solar panels. So, that is all good, lower prices for my Mom, and cleaner air, and jobs for Veterans.

Meanwhile, we need to build more high speed trains, and new subways, and we need to make our trains and subways and buses safe for everyone. We also need to build communities to meet the needs of the people without them having to drive, we need to have self-sustained communities where people can walk and ride bicycles like in Europe.

Our world is actually in pretty good shape right now, aside from Russia and the problems in the Middle East. If Global Warming is the worst thing, then we are lucky. Once we stop Putin and have peace with Russia, and once we resolve the problems in the Middle East then the world will be pretty peaceful. The Russians in New York City can help to stop Putin, and to elevate our allies in Russia. And the refugees from the Middle East can come to Canada, etc.

And also, we can invite people to open the fun shops from the Universal City Walk on our Blvds all over Southern California, we can invite the creative entrepreneurs from Universal to open fun shops on Sunset Blvd, Hollywood Blvd, Van Nuys Blvd, Anaheim Blvd, and Lancaster Blvd out in the desert, etc. 

Education is also important, all over the USA.

Of note, did you guys see Paris Hilton on television asking Congress to help the foster children? While I may not agree with everything she has done, I think that it is cool that Paris Hilton is working to help the orphans. And of note, we can have concerts at Angel Stadium to raise money to help the orphans, etc. And as a nation we need to give free college to the orphans, etc, and we need to help our foster youth.

Salute,

Tony V.

#####

Long way to go, but at least a start is made.

Devices used for RF jamming: Static CUAV (counter-uncrewed aerial vehicle) equipment include equipment like the Argus-5000 and the SkyHunter-4M/P. Mobile electronic jammers: Portable jammers like the Volnorez fit in a backpack and can be used to disrupt and ground drones.

-----

We can jam and crash the enemy drones.

Australia needs Missile Defense such as Iron Dome, and we can send Australia some F-22 Raptors, and F-35 Lightning fighter jets, from Lockheed, and we can send Australia some submarines, etc, and Aircraft Carriers, etc, and Apache Helicopters, etc. And I like the improved and modified and updated F-104 Starfighters with vectored thrust to improve the steering and to help it to pull out of spins, etc. And we can send Australia some more B-2 Stealth Bombers which can be used for nuclear weapons, and we can also send Australia some B-21 Raiders with nuclear weapons, from Northrop.

We also have our "Eye in the sky" satellites, etc.

And Intelligence is vital, like the CIA. And diplomacy. Blessed are the peacemakers.

And we are working on having Lasers, etc, instead of conventional weapons, etc.

Lockheed, and Northrop, etc, can help Australia on the issue of defense, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

The drug cartels in Mexico are getting involved with honest businesses such as with the avocado and lime exports...

https://www.npr.org/2022/02/19/1081948884/mexican-drug-cartels-are-getting-into-the-avocado-and-lime-business

That was how the Italian Mafia went legit in America, they got involved with honest businesses and then they no longer needed crime, there is no reason to be a criminal if you can make money honestly.

And in Santa Ana, California, they worked with the gangs such as F Troop and they taught them honest business, and then the gangs stopped doing illegal activities, F Troop owned a 99 Cent Store, etc, and they no longer need crime.

If people can make honest money, then there is no reason for crime. As the economy improves in Mexico then the crime rates will go down. And poverty is the father of revolution and crime, without poverty there is less reason for crime.

And we need to build schools and libraries everywhere and we need to teach people how to do honest business so that they do not need to resort to crime. Plus,we can build churches and we can teach them the 10 Commandments and the Golden Rule.

( Also, Father Boyle and Homeboy Industries can help in Mexico, and elsewhere. )

Salute,

Tony V.
