"Don't come for Christmas if you voted for Trump"...some Americans are being told by their family members/relatives.

Others told never to come to their house again.

Folks in America sure take politics seriously...some might say too seriously.

Perfect reason to never ever reveal to anyone how you vote.

bambuland Prime Minister Albanese has flown to Peru.
Leaders  from across the Asia-Pacific region will gather in Peru from Thursday for an annual economic summit, followed by a G20 summit in Brazil early next week.
While US President Joe Biden will attend both summits, Trump will overshadow the talks as world leaders brace for the impact of his stated trade policies, such as 60 per cent tariffs on Chinese goods.

Well there you go, interesting times ahead.

My Brother's ex-wife who is the Granddaughter of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans went to Peru on a luxury cruise from Los Angeles, she said Peru is very beautiful.

Raquel Welch was Bolivian, the women of Latin America are very beautiful, and Shakira and Sofia Vergara are Colombian, etc.

I am glad that the leaders are all in Peru, that is great, and it is good that they are going to meet in Brazil, and it is good that we are improving relations and that we are expanding trade, etc. Tourism is also important.

Of note, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain were good Christians and they loved the Pope, and also the Kings of France were Christians, and the whole Western Hemisphere is full of Christians now, and Peru and Brazil, etc, are all full of Christians. Rio de Janeiro has a giant statue of Jesus. The population of the Western Hemisphere now exceeds 1 Billion people and most are good Christians. We are blessed right now because of what Spain and France did hundreds of years ago, and because of what the Popes did, etc.

And Ross Dress for Less can open stores in Peru, and in Brazil, and in Mexico, etc, and Cosmopolitan Magazine can sell magazines to the women in Latin America, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Peru is the only country whose name you can type using only one row of the typewriter keys. Though it is not in Europe, which also only needs one row.

And that is far more interesting than anything in the 30 or so paragraphs Tony just posted.

 The first line usually gives the jist.  Usually suffficient.

I picked oranges with David Lee Roth...

I wrote a letter to Imelda Marcos, telling her how we could bring world peace with nice Italian shoes for everyone...

California makes great cheese, I recommend the California Pepper Jack Cheese from Joseph Farms...

https://josephfarms.com/flavors/

It is great just to eat slices off of the block, or with salami sandwiches on fresh baked bread, or to melt slices of cheese onto a frozen burrito as you microwave it.

The homeless hippies need to learn how to make cheese and they can live in gardens where they farm and where they make cheese, etc, and the San Miguel Corporation from the Philippines can help them.

And right now it costs $1.50 for 1 avocado, the San Miguel Corporation can help to grow avocados, etc. And mangoes, etc.

Sadly the local news is not covering Biden's trip to Peru and to Brazil, the news should be covering that.

Meanwhile I follow the Governor of Kentucky on Facebook and he said that Kentucky is doing the best right now that Kentucky has ever done. Biden has been good for Kentucky. I told Gov Beshear that it is time to build schools in Kentucky and to train Doctors, Psychiatrists, and Dentists, in Morehead, Kentucky, etc. And I told him that Anaheim can help to build the new schools by having concerts for charity at Angel Stadium, the City of Anaheim owns Angel Stadium and we can have concerts to raise money for charity. Garth Brooks could sing at Angel Stadium to raise money to build a new Medical School in Morehead, Kentucky, and the money from cocktail and food sales and from Parking, etc, and from selling merchandise, etc, can all go to build a Medical School in Morehead, and also the event can be televised and viewers can be given a number that they can call to donate money, etc. Then, to top it off, we can bring in Santiago Calatrava to design the Medical School in Morehead, etc, we can bring in the best architects as we build. And UCI Health here in Orange County can help to build the Medical School in Morehead, and to train the faculty and staff, etc, and to get it all up and running.

And I loved Suzanne Pleshette, that was a great job, I lived at the Oban Hotel on Yucca and Highland in Hollywood, and I worked at Empire West for Suzanne Pleshette watching the door and parking cars, it was so cool. And Zsa Zsa Gabor was good friends with Suzanne so Zsa Zsa used to come visit her everyday. I met a lot of cool people when I worked for Suzanne Pleshette. And it gave me an idea for a movie about a starving actor who gets a job as a doorman working for a beautiful movie star, and criminals try to extort money from her, and the doorman has to help to save the beautiful movie star, the name of the movie can be "The Doorman." We will see.

On the world stage right now, then Claudia Sheinbaum is doing a great job, it is very important for Mexico to have a good President right now.

Salute,

Newsom is giving $750 Million in tax breaks to filmmakers in California, and Disney is investing $2 Billion to help Anaheim, so that should help.

Meanwhile, it is important to feed the homeless in Hollywood, etc, and we need to have cheap hostels for $15 per night for a bed and shower for people, like in Rome, Italy.

If Trump was smart he would make everyone legal, and put everyone to work, like Reagan did, and I doubt Newsom is going to allow people to be deported. All of the Farm Workers and Construction Workers are Mexicans, etc. And all of the Maids, etc, are from Latin America, my maid in Malibu was from El Salvador. I doubt Trump is going to send people to farms to deport all of the farm workers, etc.

Also of note, I think Trump would have problems trying to get all of the people on Welfare to go work on the farms, the Americans on Welfare do not want to work on the farms. Americans do not want to do the jobs that the Mexicans are doing. We would be better off just to make everyone legal like Reagan did and to put everyone to work.

Maybe we can work to get each little group of immigrants legal, and make everyone legal one little bit at a time, we can make the Farm Workers legal, and we can make the Construction Workers legal, etc. Trump is calling them "rapists" and bad people, but if we humanize the immigrants and show the good farm workers and work to get the good farm workers legal, then maybe we can make them legal a little bit at a time.

A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. Thats the way your hard-core Commie works.

I have never met David Lee Roth, but I met Sammy Hagar, I rented a room from the ex wife of Sammy Hagar's family doctor in Malibu, and Sammy was in our living room one night.

Sammy Hagar is strong and powerful, and Sammy can help Mexico. Sammy sold tequila, and Sammy has the Cabo Wabo Cantina, etc, Sammy loves Mexico, and Sammy can stand up against Trump in order to defend Mexico.

And we need to improve the image of Mexicans, and they need Ross Dress for Less stores, and Cosmopolitan Magazine for the women, and Victoria's Secret Lingerie, etc. Mexico can be nice resorts with educated and classy and interesting people, with sexy well dressed women, etc, with great schools and great libraries and with great hospitals, etc.

The Catholic Church helps the poor. And right now with Home Insurance in Florida, and in California, and in Louisiana, it is hard to get and expensive for Home Insurance, so now the Catholic Church is selling Home Insurance with the Knights of Columbus, so then the funds can go to Catholic Schools, Catholic Hospitals, Catholic Orphanages, and to Catholic Charities, etc. When the people pay for Home Insurance with the Knights of Columbus then the money will go to helping the poor.

And right now Disney is investing $2 Billion here in Anaheim, and Newsom is giving $750 Million in tax breaks to filmmakers and Chapman Film School is only 10 miles from Anaheim City Hall.
