Roy Rogers was a cool guy, I spent Christmas Day with Roy and Dale one year at his Daughter's house, with his Granddaughter, and my Brother, and Roy told me stories all day.

Roy tried hard to be a good role model for all of the children who were his fans, he took it very serious. And he spent his whole life doing charity work and helping orphans, etc.

It would be great to be rich and famous and to help orphans, etc, but he had it hard too, he did not have any privacy, and he had to enter and leave his favorite restaurant through the back door and walk through the kitchen to a table in the back to eat in peace.

Roy was able to help a lot of people, and he handled fame well. And Dale was great.

In our efforts to practice doing as the Bible says in Matthew 25; 31-46, then it is nice when one has role models at the top who are trying their best to be good people and who are Christians and who are helping orphans, etc.

Roy was a cool guy. And he started out poor, he was a child of the Great Depression and he came to California like my family to find work here, like many others at that time.

Salute,

Tony V.

Apparently PT Barnum was gifted with monumental powers of understatement.

Hope y'all had a good holiday.  Next year, for the vegans in the family, we are duct-taping bananas to our kitchen wall.  Wall bananas are the best bananas!

I went to Ringling Brothers Barnum and Baily Circus World in Florida when I was a child, it was very cool.

Yes Bambu, it is very important to have a good Christian society where no one is left behind. I support that. With good healthy civilization and good manners and kindness. With beautiful women, good music, good food, good movies, good television shows, good literature, poetry, public tennis courts, pubic swimming pools, public libraries, great schools, etc.

We can start teaching the children with Early Childhood Education, I started school at 4 years old, that is a good age to start learning, I learned how to read when I was 4. And we can teach the children to say "Please" and "Thank You" and we can teach them to be kind to each other, etc. We also need to teach the children the arts, acting, music, poetry, etc.

Instead of having selfish Japanese corporations owning our movie studios, then we need to have American Men owning the studios, and they need to help the poor and they need to help the communities here in Hollywood, etc. We need to keep the money local, and we need to nurture our communities.

And we can all learn from Roseto, Pennsylvania, and from the Roseto Effect.

Right now it looks like the former drug addicts are all helping each other, Danny Trejo and the people from Narcotics Anonymous are all helping each other, and Danny has restaurants and donut shops now, etc, and he brews his own brand of beer now and he makes his own brand of hot sauce. That is good that the former drug addicts are helping each other. They can also help the former prisoners, etc. Homeboy Industries and Father Boyle can also help the former prisoners, etc.

And all Christians need to read Matthew 25; 31-46.

We also need to help the poor in Mexico, etc, and in the Philippines. The richest company in the Philippines is the San Miguel Corporation, and they can come to America and they can sell beer and food at sporting events and at concerts, etc. And they are welcome to be altruistic here and to help our poor and our homeless, etc. We can all help each other.

The Notre Dame Cathedral restoration has been completed, in the future they need to guard it better so that people cannot set it on fire again.

And we need to support Kiwanis International, and the Peace Corps.

Salute,

Tony V.

Kobayashi missing case in LA is Hitchcockian in its dimensions.  I hope the family can get some peace.

Indeed.
Better security is certainly needed...because this is just one more case in the war on the bad people, who lurk in the shadows waiting to pounce.

Physical barriers, permanent and sensor lighting(the bad people hate bright lights), best quality cameras (monitored 24/7/365), armed guards and dogs.
Absolute security protects absolutely.

Also, wouldn't hurt to build a security fence around it, "look but don't touch", "no entry without approval".

Can't be having anyone and everyone just wandering in anytime of the day and night, that'd be a security nightmare...a recipe for more disaster.

Pro-Palestine protesters arrested for stopping the Thanksgiving parade in NYC.
No surprise?

Time to get tough with people attacking Christianity and its traditions. Thanksgiving is both Christian and Secular, so Christianity is in the mix.

Tough.

Maybe the new boss will fix it.

We need for the American companies to be owned by altruistic caring citizens, instead of being owned by foreign corporations, we need for good citizens to own the companies like when Gene Autry owned the Angels and KTLA Channel 5 in Los Angeles, etc. We need for good Americans to own the companies and to help the poor and to help the homeless and the orphans and the hungry, etc.

We need for good Americans to own Universal Studios, etc, and to help the homeless in Hollywood, etc.

It was against the law to feed the homeless in Hollywood, and that was BULLSHIT, we need to feed the homeless in Hollywood, and we need to support the actors and writers and artists in Hollywood, etc.

Instead of sending the money to Japan, then instead we need to support the homeless people in Hollywood, we need to have locally owned companies and we need to help our poor and our homeless, etc.

And the San Miguel Corporation from the Philippines can help in Hollywood, and in San Francisco and Oakland and in San Bernardino, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

We need to support the Mental Health Association in Santa Ana and we need to help the mentally ill and the homeless and the poor...

https://mhaoc.org/

We also have a Wellness Center in Orange.

Newsom is giving $750 Million in incentives for filmmakers to make movies and television shows in California, so we can make movies and television shows here in Anaheim and we can make money to help the poor and to improve our community. And Disney is investing $2 Billion here in Anaheim to make it nicer.

And Universal Studios is owned by an American company in Pennsylvania now.

We need to help our poor and our homeless and our mentally ill and our orphans and our abused women, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

No one is left behind in Italy, the homeless people are helped in Rome, and they have cheap beds all over town.

A sad thing though, Rome is preparing for a Christian Jubilee and sadly they are putting their priceless works of art behind protective glass. When I was in Rome I touched the statues that Michelangelo carved, there is something magical about being able to touch the statues with your bare hands, but now sadly the statues will be behind protective glass.

And they need to protect the Notre Dame Cathedral in France, etc, we need to protect our churches, etc.

I attended the Saint Justin Martyr Church here on Empire and Ball in Anaheim, and it was a wonderful church, the ladies from the church cooked buffets for the people from the church and we all feasted after church on Sundays, they helped the homeless, it was a great church, and someone set our church on fire. They burned it down, and the church had to be rebuilt. Now the church has cameras and protection, etc. The priest there was a Priest from Ireland, he was cool, and he was a huge fan of Mel Gibson and he loved "The Passion of the Christ."

So, the statues in Rome are protected now, as is Notre Dame, and even our local churches need to be protected now.

Salute,

I met an old lady at the bus stop from New York, she was born in Green Point, she is old with arthritis now so she does not miss the cold winters in New York, she loves California now, but she said that in New York as a child her neighborhood market used to sell avocados from Puerto Rico and she said those were the best avocados she ever had. So that is awesome, that kind of stuff adds gold dust to life, good food, we can all agree on the issue of good food. So, Puerto Rico needs to continue to grow avocados to send to Brooklyn, etc, and they can include the stuff to make Pina Coladas, etc. And they can have Gambling Ships that can sail between New York and Puerto Rico with good food, etc.

We also need to have free and open trade with Cuba, and the New Yorkers can go on vacation in Cuba, etc. And Cuba can sell cigars, and Rum, etc, in New York. New Yorkers would also like the music from Cuba.

The Bahamas are also cool, it would be nice to hook the New Yorkers up with the best island locations for vacation, etc.

Anyhow, it was interesting as this little old lady told me that the best thing about her childhood in New York was the Puerto Rican avocados from a market in Brooklyn, she said that they were the best avocados she ever had. The children in New York today need to receive those same great avocados from Puerto Rico.

We have lots of big events coming up in Los Angeles, including the Olympics, and one small and easy way to elevate the image of the city and to make the people feel better would be to order some of the cheap Chinese sunglasses that they sell at the Liquor Stores in Los Angeles and pass the cheap sunglasses out to the homeless people and to the poor. People look happier and wealthier if they have sunglasses. And also, we can give the homeless people new Flo Jos flip flops, etc. New cheap sunglasses and flip flops, it seems simple but it will make a huge difference, and people will perceive Los Angeles as being wealthier, and the people will be happier, and I bet the crime would go down.

Salute,

"Obviously Israel is tired of "cutting the grass" in Gaza, only to have it grow again and attack Israel again...so this time it's decided to kill off the grass once and for all and landscape the area differently"..an expert basically told my tv station.

Old West African proverb.

When the elephants fight, the grass suffers.

My grandmas threat/promise. Your ass is grass and I am the lawnmower!

During his speech on 10/28/2083 Netanyahu referenced the attack by Amalek on the Israelites.
You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible, and we do remember, Netanyahu said. In the first Book of  Samuel God says to punish the Amalekites, Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.
