Princess Charlotte Casiraghi of Monaco got married, so she is no longer single, so that dashed any thought of me marrying a princess.

Here is a woman who is single... She is 30 years old, she was born in Iran, and now she lives in San Diego, California.

One year I spent Christmas Day with Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, my brother married their Granddaughter, and Roy told me that I had to go through the hard times, so that I would really appreciate the good times. And of course along with being grateful for whatever blessings that I have, I also need to remember to help other people.

There were times when I lived in a Malibu beach house, and there were times when I was homeless.

Here is the house where I lived in Malibu... It is a nice house, and I loved living there. And the best part was I lived with a loving family, and they treated me like part of the family. I rented a room from the ex-wife of Sammy Hagar's family doctor, and I lived with her and her two daughters, and a lady who was the daughter of a general in China, and there was another guy there from China who makes artificial knees, and that kind of stuff. And we had a maid from El Salvador, and she was part of our family too. We also had a huge dance room, and all of the ladies in their neighborhood came to our house to do Yoga with the lady who owned the house.

And I would love to have love, I need to meet a good woman who will be my teammate. Be a boss, date a boss, and build an empire.

Also of note, when I was homeless, Suzanne Pleshette hired me, so I at least could afford to buy food.

Later I met a woman from the Philippines who has been helping the homeless people in California for 40 years, and she is a wealthy business woman, and she was friends with Suzanne Pleshette. We were also friends with a lady who was a cousin of Gloria Arroyo, who was the President of the Philippines. My friend owned a night club in Los Angeles named "Manila Gardens." And she owned other businesses as well, and she invested in real estate. Right now she has 100 homeless people living in her houses, and she cooks for them, and she takes care of them. But, she is getting old, people are getting old, and people are dying. The young people need to step in and they need to start helping the homeless like some of my friends have done and are doing.

And everyday that I have my own apartment then I am grateful. If I have food and shelter then I am grateful.

I pray that I might have a good future, and meet a good woman who is smart, to be my teammate.

Salute,

Tony V.

You’re a good guy, Tony V.

I wish you all the best!

Tony, I thought you might be interested in this:

Detained in America: Children Speak

It will be at the Japanese American National Museum in LA.

It's not listed on the museum website, yet, but this is a piece of the description I saw:

Quote
On September 21st, the voices of children who have suffered from these policies will be heard, as Japanese American children read the words of those confined decades ago, while Los Angeles children amplify the voices of some of the thousands of their age mates currently suffering in deplorable detention facilities, snatched from the safety of loving adults, traumatized by cruel treatment.

Join us at 1:30 PM in the courtyard of the Japanese American National Museum for an afternoon of child empowerment, as the experience of suffering children is given voice and amplification by our own children. Attend the premier screening of an original film by 7th grade students depicting the journey of a child asylum-seeker to the United States. Join us for the call to action by those daily fighting on behalf of these children and for the sake of America’s humanity.

Co-hosted by the Japanese American National Museum, Immigrant Families Together, CHIRLA (Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles), CLUE (Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice), and Bend the Arc

Seriously WTF is wrong with these people?

Calling them short-sighted souless evil motherfuckers doesn't quite capture how short-sighted these souless evil motherfuckers are....


Ignorant SSSEMFers.  Methane, depending on concentration and ambient conditions has 20-80 times the potency of CO2 as a GHG.   Sadly, this is also a compelling reason to grow millet instead of rice (paddies produce mucho methane) and avoid beef, also things the human race seems not ready to do. 
That’s good news.
Quote
The US could be taking a leadership role in all this, but we have an administration that has enshrined invincible ignorance.
You miss the reason for the Trump decision.
The Obama EPA in 2016 laid out new regulations requiring oil and natural gas operators to limit methane emissions from wells, pipelines and storage facilities.
But it did so against the law. 
Section 111 of the Clean Air Act directs the EPA to list stationary sources that contribute significantly to “air pollution which may result asonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.” Yet the Obama EPA never determined if methane from gas or oil production endangered public health, let alone if pipelines or storage were major pollution sources.

The Trump EPA is proposing to rescind the Obama methane rule while retaining emissions limits for ozone-forming volatile organic compounds that can escape from wells with methane. The EPA estimates its revisions will save energy companies between $97 million and $123 million from 2019 through 2025. For $50 billion in combined earnings that Exxon Mobil , Royal Dutch Shell and BP reported last year that is pocket change. But the deregulation will help small producers struggling amid low oil and natural gas prices.

At no expense to the environment.

Apparently 1/2 the gas industry think trump just killed them off like he’s killing U.S. farms and manufacturing

Gee, I'm so suprised to learn that Trump lied about those supposed calls with China.

He's a liar, even if Kid refuses to admit it.

When he isn't lying he is exposing American security capabilities, while defending himself by claiming "absolute right" to release the photo he tweeted.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/30/politics/trump-tweet-iran-missile/index.html

I don't challenge is right to single-handedly re-classify the photo, but I sure know what would have been said if Obama had done it.

And I think it was stupid gamesmanship on Trump's part.

Again.

Facebook just said that I posted "hate speech."

The Facebook page for UNICEF showed a video of Muslim refugees in a horrible crowded refugee camp in Greece, and here is my reply...

"Greece is small, and Greece is already full of Greeks. Send the migrants somewhere else. Send the Muslim migrants to Dubai, and to Abu Dhabi.

Salute,

Tony V."

In my mind that is not hate speech, and I asked them to review it.

Salute,

Tony V.

Gotta be careful with the "M" word, Tony.

"WHCM" though is fine, you could say anything you like about them and it'd be sweet.

He does not believe that evolution should be taught in any of our schools and will work to change the practice in Florida, because it offends his religious beliefs.

Struggling with understanding that whole US Constitution thing, I guess.
