I still, after the debate tonight, wonder why Harris picked Walz over Shapiro..

Because Walz is a good guy and believe it not there are a jmmengels who still think like J. Mengele.

Walz mentioned the Bible, and he mentioned Matthew 25; 31-46 and he said he believed in it, and I fully agree. And Walz was a teacher, and a coach, and he took the children to China, and he does not want to de-humanize the immigrants, I like Walz.

And Bambu, watch You Tube Videos about Route 66, it is a nice safe place for the immigrants from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc, and from the Philippines, etc.

Of note, in order to have fewer cars on the streets at any given time, then Los Angeles should go on a 24 Hour Schedule like in Las Vegas, then the traffic can be spread out over a 24 hour period. When I worked as a cook at a casino in Battle Mountain, Nevada, then I worked on the night shift from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and I loved it, the night shift was perfect for me. And the Gold Mines in Battle Mountain all run on a 24 hour schedule, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Watching a Youtube video yesterday abour abandoned towns in America, some were along Route 66.
I look at life thru "What if my wife leaves (happened to more than one man I've known, including a work colleague") and I'm left homeless and with not enough money to buy another home, a car etc...what would I do?" eyes.

Looking at the abandoned buildings...I thought "I could shelter there, park a vehicle under the large awning, set up some portable solar, clean out the building and move in."

Battle Mountain, Nevada, has cheap rooms for rent over the Tavern, and every town and city should have cheap rooms for rent, and cheap hostels like in Rome, Italy.

Right now the leaders are all in Mexico for the inauguration of Claudia Sheinbaum, except for the ones that are here to help and assure those affected by the hurricane. Jill Biden was photographed with the President of Colombia, Petro, who recommended immediate peace talks in the Middle East. I suggested improved world trade, including between Mexico and Lebanon, etc. Everyone benefits from improved trade and from good labor unions for the workers, etc. For the refugees, and immigrants, who need a home, I suggested the land along Route 66, and for the Colombians I suggested New Orleans, Louisiana, Shakira and Sofia Vergara can open restaurants in New Orleans, etc. And Battle Mountain, Nevada, has the best deal on land in the USA, with good schools for the children, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Walz mentioned the Bible

Speaking of the Bible, I recently heard this joke:

So God tells Adam, I am going to make you a wife, a helpmate, the most beautiful woman you can imagine.  She will be tireless, enthusiastic, terrific in bed, and never complain or criticize.

But it will cost you.

How much, asks Adam.

An eye, an elbow, a collarbone, and your left ball.

Adam thinks this over for a couple minutes then asks,

What can I get for a rib?

He should have taken the first deal.

Time to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities...before it makes nuclear weapons.

A possibility brought to you by Donald Trump's decision to back out of an agreement that was successfully limiting Iran's nuclear program, which Iran was complying with and which was being monitored.

Tell me, what do you think Iran's, and the Arab world's, reaction is going to be to that kind of strike?

Israel did not care about world reaction in 1981 when they took out Iraqi facilities-even the New York Times condemned it-and they likely would not care now. And it turned out they did the world a favor in 1981z
