When Michelle Obama proposed supplying healthy school lunches, overhauling dietary guidelines, reforming federal programs that pay for ultra-processed food and planted a garden at the White House the Republicans lost their fucking minds!

RFK, Jr. proposes overhauling dietary guidelines and reforming federal programs that pay for ultra-processed foods. 

Republicans: BRILLIANT!
Clearly, it was the garden.

News flash

Leopards Eating People's Faces Party voters express shock and dismay over judgement in Federal Court..


https://apnews.com/article/judge-blocks-overtime-pay-biden-rule-8469c6980f9305c60f1670ed1d8362e2

That is one judge scuttling a Labor Dept rule. Under Trumple, it will be the Labor Dept scuttling itself.  The oligarchy will clean up.

We have some sick people who actually want to send the United States Military to remove immigrants, and they hope a war breaks out, and they talk about what big balls Trump has. Destroying America with a Civil War is not about "big balls." We need for Rule of Law and Reason to prevail.

And we need to improve the image of the Mexicans.

On the issue of Putin, there is a scene in the movie "Patton" where the lower General is mad at Patton for the brutality of the battle, but after the battle is over Patton tells him to think about how many more lives would have been lost if they were still stuck there fighting instead of the battle being over. We need to send troops to go arrest Putin and to send him to Guantanamo Bay and we need to put new good peaceful leaders in charge of Russia. Instead of prolonging the bullshit, we need to just go in and get Putin, D Day, a mass number of troops need to just go in and arrest Putin. They can plan it all out at the Russian Tea Room in New York City.

We also need to write a new Immigration Policy which includes a Good Neighbor Policy for our good Christian neighbors Canada, and Mexico.

Salute,

Tony V.

Claudia Sheinbaum - With President Joseph Biden we talk about the good relationship that exists and should exist between Mexico and the United States, as well as the importance of working together on immigration, security and the economy. From the G20 Brazil 2024 we support the friendship between the two countries.

---

We need to have good relations between the USA and Mexico, and with all of Latin America, our Western Hemisphere has over 1 Billion people now, and we need to have peace and prosperity. We do not need any walls.

Also, maybe someone can produce a movie in Acapulco starring Beyonce, Mexico needs to improve their image, they can make a movie like "Fun in Acapulco" which stars Elvis. They could do a fun romantic comedy in Acapulco starring Beyonce. Universal Studios should produce it, if I owned Universal it would get made.

And we need to send Ross Dress for Less stores to Latin America, and the Latin women need to receive Cosmopolitan Magazine, etc.

The Mexicans are also investing in Department Stores around the world, so that is great. And Mexico can send goods to Lebanon, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

New drinking game: Every time  Salute Tony V uses the phrase:, WE NEED, take a drink.

With Acting, with Uta Hagen, Sanford Meisner, Konstantin Stanislavsky, etc, then we have "Wants" and "Needs" and for instance you may "want" a Porsche but you might "need" to ride the bus. Our wants and our needs are not the same. So we are taught to think in terms of needs.

Then with Maslow's hierarchy of human needs, with what we are doing now, dreaming about a better world, is "Actualization" where instead of starving we are dreaming about a better world instead of worrying just about food and shelter and safety, then that is all about meeting "Needs." Bambu is living on the highest level of Maslow's heirarchy of human needs when he dreams about a better world.

But, I need to expand my vocabulary, and I need to stop saying "need" as often.

Salute,

Tony V.

Got kids in Laos, Thailand, Asia anywhere?
Got relatives there on vacation, celebrating freedom after finally finishing school?
Are they living life to the full, high on life?
High on life with not a care in the world?
Partying, drinking, going at a million miles an hour?

Better ring them now, tell them to stop riding around on motor scooters without wearing helmets?
Tell them to STOP it all, NOW.
Drinks are being spiked/ made using methanol, which is cheaper than alcohol.
Two Aussie girls now on life support in Thailand hospital...parents devastated, by their bedsides hoping for a miracle.
Two Danish citizens dead.
NZ girl very sick.
Others very sick.

Party at home country!
A lot safer.
Much safer.

I'm definitely seeing a beauty and the beast polarity here.

Comcast which is the parent company of Universal Studios just gave Mayor Bass $250,000 to help the homeless of Los Angeles, that is a step in the right direction, and it is a good gesture by Comcast.

And Newsom is giving $750 Million in tax breaks to filmmakers, Anaheim needs to get that money and we need to start a Film and Television Industry in Anaheim, and Anaheim City Hall is only 10 miles away from Chapman film school. We can have a community of artists here in Anaheim making movies and television shows.

And as we rise we can be altruistic and we can help to make the world a better place.

Anaheim needs to fight for a piece of the pie from the $750 Million in incentives that Newsom is giving to filmmakers, and Chapman film school can help, etc. And we have USC film school close by, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

In Japan today, the trial of Australian grandmother [who is Aboriginal] Donna Nelson begins.
Accused of drug smuggling, been in prison in Japan for two years awaiting trial.

Her five daughters are travelling to Japan in the hope of bringing their mother home.
With the conviction rate in criminal cases in courts in Japan at 99%, what chance?

Daughters are hoping that the court will see that mother is the victim of a complex love scam. Man paid for the fare and all expenses for Donna to go to Japan so they could be together.
Lovely.
Enter the sting in the tail...he said he had to book the flight via Laos as he couldn't book a direct flight.
In Laos he allegedly organised for a good friend to give her a bag to take with her to Japan [conmen have the gift of the gab, could almost talk me into anything. A person of innocence, less aware of the ways of the bad people, could easily be tricked into carrying a bag ["full of gifts", "business items", "nice dresses for you"...anything really].

Photos of the men, all details of the case to be revealed at her trial.

The daughter interviewed said her father was the first Aboriginal detective in WA [Western Australia state] ...and that her parents were/are anti drugs...and raised the children that way.
Same daughter said her grandfather was the first Aboriginal police officer in WA.

Donna Nelson a deliberate drug smuggler?
Not in my mind.


What is that saying?
Oh yes, "love is blind".

Donna Nelson's trial has begun.

Perth woman Donna Nelson entered a Tokyo court on the first morning of her drugs trial in tears and handcuffs as prosecutors alleged she was caught in a Japanese airport with 1.9 kilograms of methamphetamine in her luggage.

Nelson sat just metres away from family members who she has not been able to speak to for almost two years, and appeared much thinner than when she left Perth in January last year.

She was in tears at times, but also smiled brightly when she saw her 3-yr-old grandson.
