I'm very impressed with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
He's sharp, ...cool, calm, rational.

I drive by his house with some frequency. Tons of protesters there, but they quieted down the last few weeks.

The refugee situation is horrible in the Middle East, with millions of refugees, and the refugees at our Southern Border are small in number in comparison.

Kiwanis can help, and we can send the refugees to Victoria, British Columbia. And Canada is huge with very few people.

Alaska and Texas are also good spots for refugees, and the Tyson Food Jobs in Arkansas are a blessing for some people, etc, and the United Farm Workers in California, etc.

Battle Mountain, Nevada, is the best deal in the USA on land at only $1 Thousand per acre, with plentiful casino jobs, and Gold mines, etc.

And yes, it would be great if Richard Branson built Social Wellness Centers all around the world.

Salute,

He's convinced Israel to accept the US' cease-fire proposal/agreement for Gaza.
Not a 'big mouth', he's a quiet achiever.
We'll see how serious Hamas and all its supporters in Gaza are about peace.

TV news said today that it will take 15 years to clear all the rubble from Gaza...before rebuilding can commence.

Certainly the people of the Gaza Strip have been punished enough, and they will never rise to power, they will be relegated to poverty and labor as essential workers, etc, they will never be in a position to hurt Israel again, at least not for a long time. They will be driving trucks, and they will be picking cotton and picking fruit, and they will be doing essential labor for the rest of their lives. Israel can even hire them as workers to grow Eggplant for Israel, they can work growing food for Jews, etc. So, now is a time for everyone to have mercy, and to take pity, as the people from Gaza take on new lives as essential workers, etc. Justice has been done.

Yes, Blinkin has done a good job, and Biden has done a good job under the circumstances.

So we can have peace, and then we will also have millions of poor roaming refugees who we need to take pity on.

And I recommend Canada for the refugees, and the Kiwanis Village in Victoria, British Columbia.

I want peace, and mercy for the poor.

Salute,

Tony V.

So sad the loss of life, and the millions of refugees who may spend the rest of their lives in poverty because of the crimes of a few bad apples.

I pray for peace in the world. It seems like the rich profit from war while the poor suffer.

And for some good news, GOLD is at record high prices with a bar of GOLD being worth one million American dollars for the first time.

Battle Mountain, Nevada, has lots of GOLD, and we have Canadian mining companies here in Nevada, etc, so I invited the San Miguel Corporation from the Philippines to come open GOLD MINES in Battle Mountain, Nevada. Nevada also has Silver, and Copper, etc. And the San Miguel Corporation is altruistic and Christian.

Salute,

The USA has not had a female President yet, but right now Italy has Giorgia Meloni as Prime Minister, and the Philippines had Gloria Arroyo ( I was friends with her cousin Rose ), and England had the Queen and Thatcher, etc.

In the Philippines the women often run the family business, and handle the finances, while the men protect the women, and while the men make sure their wives are happy, and the men act as fathers, etc, the people of the Philippines are family-oriented like the Italians. In Italy they love people, while in the USA they love money, and the people of the Philippines love people, money is just a tool to make life better for the people.

Kamala cares about people, while Trump just cares about himself and money. So there is the decision we need to make. I am not even going to try to pretend that Trump is a Christian, he is a convicted felon, and he paid hush money to a porn star. Being a prosecutor does not impress me, I am more impressed by Social Workers like Karen Bass and the Governor of Arizona, but Kamala is who we have been sent. At least Kamala is honest, I hope.

George W. Bush made friends all over Latin America, and I hope Kamala makes friends in Latin America too, and in the Philippines.

I have worked for a lot of women bosses, including Suzanne Pleshette, and I had a woman boss at Universal, and I had a woman boss at the Broadway Department Store, and a woman owned the Limousine Company that I worked for, I have had a lot of women bosses, and women make great leaders. Kamala might be a great first female President of the United States.

Salute,

As we stand in San Diego and look at Mexico, and at Latin America, then we need to see OPPORTUNITIES and not a burden, and certainly we do NOT need any walls. And Mexico has a good Jewish Woman for President of Mexico now. This is an exciting time. You can have Mangoes, and Avocados, and Plums, and Oranges, and Wine, and whatever your heart desires, cheese, ice cream, filet mignon, etc. And Acapulco is awesome, etc, Mexico has a lot of nice resorts, as does Latin America, including with Costa Rica, etc. Latin America is a great land of opportunities.

And as refugees come to the USA then we need to put them all to work with the Teamsters, and with the United Farm Workers, etc. And we can send exports to China, etc. And Kamala wants to build millions of housing units, we need to hire the best architects and we need to build cool fun stuff. We can bring in architects from Greece, and from Spain, and from Italy, and from France, etc, plus we train architects in Pasadena, California, etc.

Salute,

Gotta be very careful with refugees...that you don't import trouble...most importantly terrorists or terrorist sympathisers.
...Hamas terrorists, and Hamas sympathisers, for example.

US has only taken in a few refugees from Gaza...17 or so.
Obviously US is looking after its national security first.

In bambuland there's total uproar in and outside of parliament over leftist/far leftist PM Albo's rush to take in thousands of refugees from Gaza...3,000 so far without thorough national security checks.

He is being accused of "trading visas for votes"...with "the Muslim vote" now critical to the re election of some of his ministers in western and SW Sydney...and his govt.

In the parliament, a female Independent MP ( Member of Parliament....'Rep' if you like) shouted angrily across the the 'chamber' at the Leader of the Opposition Peter Dutton..."STOP BEING RACIST" as he called for proper national security checks of all prospective refugees from Gaza.

Said Independent woman MP who shouted at Peter Dutton across the parliament,..... along with 4 other female Independents, yesterday were complaining about Conservative MPs being "aggressive and misogynistic".
LOL
Ya gotta laugh.

That's federal parliament.
NSW state parliament is nicknamed "The Bear Pit".
No place for the faint-hearted.

 One of the great benefits of kicking conservatives to the curb wherever they try to appear in politics is that is greatly limits who they can be douche bags to. Ideally they ultimately hold no seats and can only be douche bags to one another.

The Persians are all coming to Los Angeles, the Persian women rise quickly and do well by marrying wealthy men, etc. The Persian Men are racist, and they get wealthy from Real Estate, etc, and they live in Beverly Hills and they have their expensive Lamborghinis, etc. Also, the Persian men are abusive to the women. They have their Persian Oil money, and they have the Masons and the Shriners, etc. Hollywood used to have the "Garden of Allah" and there has been Arabs and Persians in Los Angeles forever. And the Sultan of Brunei owns the Beverly Hills Hotel. The Muslims are not Christian and it was against the law to feed the homeless in Hollywood for a long time.

My wealthy friends from the Philippines wanted for me to have a wealthy Bride from the Philippines as a helper, they were going to take me to a charity ball in Catanduanes to find a wealthy Filipino Bride as a helper. Rose was a cousin of Gloria Arroyo who was the President of the Philippines. The Philippines has 100 million people, and they are good Christians. I invited the San Miguel Corporation and the people from the Philippines to come help in America, but they have been here all along.

I saw that the people from Afghanistan are coming to Oklahoma. And there are Arabs in the desert of Arizona, etc.

The French and Italians are all rich here now.

I had a roommate in Malibu who was the daughter of a Chinese General.

We need to learn to have peace, we have people here in California from everywhere.

And we need to build more schools, all over America, and we need to destroy the prison in Lancaster, California, and we need to replace the prison with a Medical School.

Kentucky is doing great, and we need to support Education in Kentucky.

And we need to remember to fully fund the Peace Corps, and we need to invest in Civilization.

Peace.

Salute,

Tony V.

The 1980s were my time, it was a time when Heavy Metal in Hollywood ruled, it is just sad that many worshiped Satan and that guys like Ozzy and Rob Halford had to make it about Satan. The music could easily have been about Jesus and we could have had a great time worshiping the Lord and we could have had a good Christian community. There was no reason for all of the music in Hollywood to be about Satan.

I worked for the Burbank YMCA, as a teen at a summer camp in the mountains of Tehachapi, and I was involved with Youth For Christ and we went to Mexico, etc. I have always been a good Christian.

It sucks that they gave everyone illegal drugs and had music about Satan, and they built a big prison right in the middle of my hometown, so that all sucks, but there were a lot of great things about the 1980s.

Meanwhile, we have come a long ways, and we have Mayor Bass helping the homeless now, etc. The bands of the future are training and studying at the Saint Louis College of Music in Rome, and it is a Christian music school.

I would love to own Universal Studios, and have control over the movie and television production, and Universal has the largest music label in the world.

Peace.

Salute,
