My family came to California during the Great Depression, my Grandmother's Family came from Denver, Colorado, and my Grandfather's Family came from Mena, Arkansas, and they all came to California to pick fruit.

My Great Grandfather was Chief of Police of Denver, Colorado, before the Great Depression, and my Grandmother told me that when she was a child that they used to have the Governor of Colorado over for dinner. My Great Grandfather could not handle poverty, and he died as an alcoholic on Skid Row in Los Angeles.

Anyhow, I was thinking about the Great Depression, and then after that came World War II, and I was wondering why Japan and Germany attacked us. Couldn't they see that all of our people were homeless and hungry during the Great Depression? Why did they attack us?

I think it is all about taking responsibility like FDR did, and helping the people with Social Programs and Government Work Programs, etc, and Camps for the homeless, etc. The people in charge of Japan blamed their poverty during the Great Depression on the USA, instead of taking responsibility and doing the Social work to help the poor. The same in Germany, Hitler blamed the Jews, and he blamed England, etc, instead of doing the Social Work like FDR.

I am still in poverty, I have not risen yet. And my Grandmother worked as a Dog Groomer until she died of Cancer.

Evil people blame their problems on other people, and start wars instead of taking responsibility and doing the Social Work.

If we obey the Bible, and do as God asks in Mathew 25; 31-46, then we will be helping the poor, and we will have a healthy society. My favorite city is Rome, Italy, and they are all Christians, and they help the poor, they do not have very many homeless people in Rome, they help people there. The answers are all in the Bible.

Salute,

Tony V.

The exiled Crown Prince of Iran was interviewed *on* Sky News.
On the screen while he was talking came:
"The State of Iran is the Epitome of Evil".
Then:
"Appeasement Is Not The Way to Deal With the State of Iran."
Sounds about correct.

The exiled Crown Prince said that the people of Iran like him because he stands for democracy ...and basically all the things the Ayatollahs don't.

A movie is being made about Queen Farah Pahlavi right now, and Mahlagha Jaberi is working for improved human rights in Iran, along with over one million Persians from Iran here in Los Angeles.

And we need to support the Christians in Lebanon, and Latin America can empty their prisons and they can send the men to Lebanon to support the Christians in Lebanon.

Salute,

Tony V.

Not too sure the Christians in Lebanon would be well served by sending prisoners from Latin America to them.

The Persians from Iran have entered our Popular Culture here in Los Angeles, we have Persian Doctors, and Persian Dentists, and in the novel "A Man Called Ove" the Co-Star is a Persian Woman from Iran. A beautiful woman from Iran cleaned my teeth, and fixed a filling that fell out, and she sealed my teeth, etc, she was great, she did it all for $100 cash. An Arabian Female Doctor did my colonoscopy, she is a beautiful Doctor. And now they are trying to start a "Little Arabia" in Anaheim.

The way to save the world is told to us in the Bible, in Matthew 25; 31-46, we need to feed them when they are hungry, and we need to house them when they are homeless, and we are to minster to them in prison, and we are to help the orphans and the widows and the poor, and as we help people then we can preach to them the Love of Christ, and we can teach the children the 10 Commandments and the Golden Rule, etc. We need to show them the Love of Christ.

And the Persian women and the Arabian women are beautiful, our Veterans need to marry the Persian women and the Arabian women, etc.

Bambu, yes, the prisoners from Latin America could help the Christians in Lebanon. And they can have Department Stores, and France, and Italy, and the USA, and everyone, can send goods for the Christians in Lebanon to sell at their Department Stores. We need to make the Christians wealthy. And the Latin Men can drive the trucks, and they can build the housing, and they can build the businesses, and they can do the labor, etc. The Latin Men are very hard workers. And I would rather go work growing strawberries in Lebanon instead of being in prison in Latin America. And they can all read "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, and they can read "On Becoming a Person" by Carl Rogers, etc, and we can educate everyone. They can have schools, and libraries, etc. And they can have swimming pools, and tennis courts, etc. And they can be allies and friends and business partners with the Jews in Israel, and with New York, etc.

Good things will happen when the new movie comes out about Queen Farah Pahlavi, and Mahlagha Jaberi and the one million Persians here in Los Angeles from Iran can help.

Kiwanis International can help, and the Catholic Church can help, and the Peace Corps can help, and UNICEF can help, and Youth For Christ can help, and the YMCA can help, and Father Boyle and Homeboy Industries can help, and the San Miguel Corporation from the Philippines can help, and the Arroyo clan from the Philippines can help, and Claudia Sheinbaum can help, and Giorgia Meloni can help, and the King of Spain can help, etc, etc, etc, a lot of us can work together as a team to make the world a better and more peaceful place.

And the homeless can live and work in gardens, and in vineyards, and in orchards, etc, with libraries, and schools, and with tennis courts, and with swimming pools, etc.

Peace.

And the refugees from Ukraine can go live in Australia, they are good Christians Bambu, you should welcome the refugees from Ukraine. And Australia has Kiwanis International, Kiwanis is global. Australia also has the Catholic Church, etc.

Meanwhile, we need to open a new Film Office at Anaheim City Hall to bring Film and Television jobs to Anaheim.

Salute,

Tony V.

Two more weeks left to scratch heads over stuff like this. 

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/20/kamala-harris-has-a-problem-with-men-will-misogyny-cost-her-the-election

I think it's possible that women married to MAGA stalwarts are sometimes answering interview polls along party lines but actually going to vote for Harris.  But as Simon says, much depends on if they do get out and vote.

So let us get this straight. 
Kamala Harris dropped out of the 2020 Presidential Primary because she could find no one to vote for her.
BUT!
She was added to the Biden ticket ONLY because was a Woman and Black.
So the party must not have been concerned about misogyny being a problem.
This year the party GAVE her the nomination for President without a primary
She was flying pretty high after the convention .
It was not until she  actually had to start a campaign that the wheels began to wobble and now she is sinking.
The real problem is the Party bought a pig in a poke without vetting it and HARRIS turned out to be a terrible candidate.

Like every Presidential candidate ever, Harris has some flaws. What is odd is why that old truth teller, Red, fails to address the myriad flaws of the man he is voting for.  For a third time. Wait, I solved the mystery.

LOL.
I addressed why I am not voting for Trump a myriad of times.
Which has nothing to do with the stupidity of Komala and the democrat party for trashing the democratic process to embarrass us with such a moron as her.

Wait, I solved the real mystery.
YankGuy is a democrat ergo he is anti American AND stupid.

Heh. And there you have it. Classic Republican strategy. Always question patriotism.  I am not  the one voting for a convicted felon who fomented an insurrection nor am I voting for anybody in the party led by that Anti American cretin. Who is Anti American?

Come on, Son! You do not get to revise history in order distort the present day.

This is what happened to the 2020 campaign of MVP Harris.


The Times article featured a stinging resignation letter from a Harris staffer who had since signed on with billionaire Michael Bloomberg, who launched his own presidential campaign with a $39 million ad buy.

Earlier in the cycle billionaire Tom Steyer, (who probably figured hed spent enough money having no effect whatsoever on the impeachment of Donald Trump) decided hed jump into the fray. Steyer turned his money ($47 million plus as of September) toward buying enough individual donors to qualify for the debate stage.

It was about then that the Harris campaign had to face a stark reality: They did not have the resources to sustain, much less compete money-wise.


You are just salty her campaign is doing very well.

Compared to, maybe, McGovern or Mondale but those standards are pretty low.

You are by supporting an elitist party bypassing the democratic process by anointing candidates who meet artificial  social justice goals over competency.
We all have the opportunity to vote but we are free to avoid having to hold our nose ro do so.
Obviously a nihilist like you could care less about seeking the right thing to do.

Competence? Likely the most amusing thing you have posted here.

The right thing to do is not vote for a person who tried to overthrow the United States government and to withhold a vote for anybody in the party that  he leads. That you have no idea what nihilism means is cute, but irrelevant.

And, most importantly, since you have stated that you do not care what I think about you, why do you bother responding to me? 

I will answer. Because you are a liar who cares what I think. Deeply.

"What did you do at work today, son?"

"I taught Donald Trump how to cook fries the McDonalds' way".

lol

Donald did well.
Funny when people in the drive-thru saw Donald at their window.  :)
The lady driver of the car said to Donald:
"Please don't let the United States turn into Brazil".
He said he wouldn't allow that to happen.
