Trump ordered the creation of the 1776 Commission, a White House task force charged with promoting “patriotic education” in the country’s schools. “Our youth,” Trump declared, “will be taught to love America with all of their heart and all of their soul.”

To love your country is a good thing. To love your country is to love the mountains, the hillside, the song sparrow. To love your country is love the opportunity, the constitution and to want to make your culture even greater, even more than it was before. Culture is music, art, technology, communication, transportation, customs, and so much more.

All countries, all families, all people have their proud moments, like the highlights of the game, and their failures and mistakes. Just like anything else.

The actors are actors, the games will be played.
The boys will be boys, the girls will be laid.
The chips and the sodas, the drinks and the smoke,
the girl and the boy, the whore and the bloke.
The offense and defense,
the curse and the chant
the looting, the fires, the ashes, the rant.

What are we doing?
We can be so much more.
Why are we wasting, it all… then want more?

The sick little children, the dogs and the cats.
The horses and ponies, butterflies and bats.
What are we doing? The mice and the rats,
in cages, with mazes… for temporary crazes.
The trends come and go,
we just never know,
quite where we are, lost in space.
With so much to do, many places to go.
How will we ever save face?

What are we doing?
We can be so much more.
Why are we wasting, it all… then want more?

We want candy until we have holes in our smiles.
We want clean air, but we drive for miles.
We want laughter and happiness,
without any tears… and end up with manic, depressive fears.
We eat it all up, we go berserk.
We don’t want to see it,
I can’t even believe it.

What are we doing?
We can be so much more.
Why are we wasting, it all… then want more?

What is healing?
Does healing mean it goes away and never comes back?
No
Does healing mean it’s all easy and carefree because…now we’re healed?
No
Healing is the beginning of the journey to a new awareness, a new way of seeing and believing, a new way of living.

Does that mean everything is perfect…like, I’m a Christian now so I am happy forever.

It doesn’t work like that.

There is no happy ride at the carnival, the roller coasters go up and down…much like life.

Is healing the same as forgiveness?

healing
the process of making or becoming sound or healthy again:

forgiveness-
pardon
absolution
exoneration
remission
dispensation
indulgence
understanding
tolerance
purgation
clemency
mercy
pity
lenience
leniency
quarter
reprieve
discharge
amnesty

Healing happens before and after forgiveness.

Healing is required before forgiveness is sought.

Without healing, the knowing that healing is possible, which is healing in itself, is required.

You can know you can heal, and not heal completely.

God is not afraid death, we are.

God is not afraid of separation, we are.

God is not afraid of disease, we are.

Healing eliminates the fear.

God is before, during and after. Jesus Christ is here now. Shining healing light all the time, all the time. We can align with that power, that light. Hallelujah

We have fear, of the future, God doesn’t.

I trust in God, or else I fear my fear.
Those are the only two options.
When I trust my fear I allow myself to get tricked.
When I learn, I won’t get tricked like that…again.
When I trust in God, it’s not a passive exercise, it takes energy.
I have to battle the tricks, the tricks of my mind, and outer illusions.
The trickster uses illusions, it’s called Black Magic.
It’s not like a cartoon, this is deep, dark and terroristic.

Trust and healing are companions.

To trust that healing is all there is, when we trust in God Almighty, rather than fear, guilt and shame.

That’s the message.

When people trust God, they don’t need to seek food to satisfy, or money, or objects.
Sure, we need food and money, but not when we try to trick ourselves.
How many people want to be a millionaire…what does that mean?
If you want million dollars, do you know how to manage it? What would you do with it? How do you want to use it to serve? If you had more responsibility, because you had more resources, there would be expectations to solve big issues, not less. Passing the buck would take on a whole new meaning.

Blessing come in, and sometimes they pour in, sometimes they storm in, sometimes they take on a life of their own…expect it. Enjoy the now, it’s coming.

The only thing in the way of you receiving more blessings is your willingness to turn crisis into a blessing.

Have you ever complained about something and other people could care less.

God cares.

Have you ever complained to somebody about them…and they rejected you.
What did you expect?
What was God thinking? What are you talking to them for? I’m right here.

God is the ever-ready battery when it comes to listening.

How many people here feel really understood…or do you sometimes feel that other people…just don’t listen…or worse…they don’t even care?

God is available all the time…a personal companion…Jesus is an inner experience…how perfect is that…imagine if you had to contact Jesus by speaking aloud. Prayer is an incredible gift…it’s not a demand…prayer is a gift. It’s a lifeline, it’s an outlet for gratitude.

How many more people…want to be blessed…they want to be blessed more than cursed…my resisting curses we are blessed.

Think about that.

Cursings are not to be taken personally, they are to be tackled, confronted, and or…strategically handled. God does not give us easy tasks, the Bible does not teach about the easy life.

In the Bible Jesus said, “Come, follow me.” Did they go off to the palace to eat cake…I don’t think so…they went to heal, and learn, he spoke and they listened, they ate wild grapes, they did not go to the potluck, there were no lollipops.

Thank God for the Bible.

Holy Book

How many would like to be blessed.

Open up the good book. Mosiah 26 15-19

Blessed are they because of their exceeding faith.

When your faith exceeds your patience, you are blessed.

Blessed are they because thou hast established a church among this people.
Blessed is this people who are willing to bear my name, for my name shall be called, and they are mine.

And because thou hast inquired of me concerning transgressor, thou art blessed.

Jesus says…
Believe in my name, and I will freely forgive.

Sounds easy…is it?

Believe in the name of Jesus Christ. It’s not easy. We live in a world of war, fighting on the streets, looting…what’s going on? People’s behavior tests our faith, our tolerance, our willingness to believe…sometimes…from time to time…like everyday.

When we cast doubt that something bigger than we are is in control, we give power to doubt and disbelief. This is natural, but God is super natural. We have spirit, God is LOVE.

What kinds of spirit do we have…we have many options.
We can attune to the spirit of…being annoying.
We can attune to the spirit of…being a know it all.

Not so popular.

God is LOVE.
We attune to…many emotions…we have the potential to attune to LOVE.

We’re learning.
We are being tested.
That’s what life and death are all about.
Jesus passed the test.
He said, “Come, follow me.”
He didn’t say it’s all catered, free of charge. Oh no, he said, if you believe in me and call me by name, not “Party time” NO, if you believe.

People who believe grow in their faith, you can see it, feel it and depend on it.

Faith is a practice and the pay off is Light. People with faith are full of light, they get enlightening ideas, they brighten things up when it gets dark. People of faith replace light with the feeling you get right before you get tricked…it’s kind of that feeling when you know you’re gambling too much and you shouldn’t do it…that nudge…that insight…that split second that makes your common sense kick in.

There is a story in the book of ALMA chapter 38 about ‘sexual sin/rape/murder’.

First off it talks about learning from your brothers…your brothers who behave in ways which are faithful, diligent and in keeping the commandments which are to love one another as I love you.

Then the question. Why have you not set a good example?

God made sure we have a conscious that is capable of retrospection.

to look back and inspect our behavior

Why did you not listen? This is the next question.

Why were you carrying on and on, boasting and trying to convince others of your wisdom?

Why are other people upset and grieving over you?

Why did you betray the people?

Why did you go across the border for the ‘harlots’?

Isabels

How did this steal the hearts of so many?

Why did you not trust in the ministry? in the teachings?

the worst sin is
Denying the Holy Ghost, the inspiration you receive, the inner message.
The shedding of innocent blood.
Going over the border to commit sex crimes.

Whoever murder against the light and the knowledge of God, it is not easy to obtain forgiveness…again…it is not easy, to obtain forgiveness.

The best thing to do, since crimes and sins cannot be hidden, is to repent.

Forgive yourself.

Listen to and follow your elder brothers.

Do not allow the passions of youth ruin your life.

You will suffer if you are led away by vanity, there is not need to be vain.

To be vain is insane.

easy rhyme

or to be foolish

To behave in a vain or foolish ways will cause you problems.

No matter what, how many or few know you, you are an example for others to follow.

We are commanded to do good or not lead away the hearts of many to destruction.

It will take all your mind, might and strength to turn away from wicked ways once they are a habit.

Do not lust after riches that would make you vain.

Do not worry about when Christ is returning again, make a commit to show up, until that day. You show up. Don’t make others worry about you not being there, you show up. You get up, you rise up, and you do it. Jesus trusts you. Trust yourself. Gods got this.

The Bible says…I would not not dwell upon your crimes, to harrow up your soul, if it were not for your good.
God does not nudge us to do what’s right, without reminding us of what we have done wrong.

God is not here to judge you, God loves you. God knows when you are judging yourself…and others…and ignoring him.

He can tell because when you hold onto your sin, you’re more likely to do it again, keep it a secret, and it drains your energy.

How many have too much energy? Nobody

What drains energy…guilt. Shame. Fear.

What did Jesus say, “Come and Follow Me.” Not, you got this, you can do it, you’re on your own now, you’ve got your own world, your own body, I’m retired?…No, Jesus never retires, he never expires, even if you tried to return him you can’t, he’s not defective in anyway…so you have the perfect companion…the question is…what kind of companion are you?

Alma chapter 39 verse 17

after all that talk about crime and guilt what does the Bible say?

And now I will ease your mind somewhat on this subject.

Behold, is not a soul as precious at this time as at the time of his coming?

Sending Angels is not easy, yet an Angel was sent to declare these glad tidings.
————————————–

Why wait when you can radiate the light of Christ?

Don’t wait for the second coming, prepare.

No two people can arise in the same space and time.

In my front office I have displayed the posters of the innocent Israelis kidnapped by Hamas.

They will stay up until every single person is safely returned home.

——————-

It’s kind of hard when dealing with Shariah because you can’t leave that pollical/militant/religious ideology.

The terrorists are on offshoot of… they are not The Muslim Brotherhood.

Radicals think that they can break religious rules, like not killing unarmed civilians, woman and babies, in barbaric ways and making videos as if it’s something to celebrate.

The radical Hamas killers were misled youth thinking they were going to win the lottery for jihad until they were in custody talking about how their leaders abandoned them. Some which their weapons had backfired because they are finding it hard to live with themselves. Instead of making their Mama proud, they cower in shame. It’s not the Muslim way to fight with terrorism, they are direct, they have Shariah…it’s clear.

Council on Foreign Relations Backgrounder: What Is Hamas?
World Nov 20, 2012 1:01 PM EST

Founded in 1987 during the first Intifada, Hamas is a Sunni Islamist group and a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization violently opposed to the state of Israel. Hamas, an acronym for Harakat al-Muqawana al-Islamiya (Islamic Resistance Movement), has exercised de facto rule over the Gaza Strip since wresting the territory from its rival Fatah, which governs the West Bank, in 2007.

Religion
Judaism–Hiloni (33.1%)
Judaism–Masorti (24.3%)
Judaism–Dati (8.8%)
Judaism–Haredi (7.3%)
Islam (18.1%)
Christianity (1.9%)
Druze (1.6%)
Others and unclassified (4.8%)

————————————————

Religion in Palestine 98+% Muslim.

Hamas published its official charter in 1988, moving decidedly away from the Brotherhood’s ethos of nonviolence.

Read this…

The original Charter identified Hamas as the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine and declares its members to be Muslims who “fear God and raise the banner of Jihad in the face of the oppressors”. The charter states that “our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious” and calls for the eventual creation of an Islamic state in Palestine, in place of Israel and the Palestinian Territories, and the obliteration or dissolution of Israel. It emphasizes the importance of jihad, stating in article 13, “There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors.” The charter also states that Hamas is humanistic, and tolerant of other religions as long as they “stop disputing the sovereignty of Islam in this region”. The Charter adds that “renouncing any part of Palestine means renouncing part of the religion [of Islam]”. The original charter was criticized for its violent language against all Jews, which many commentators have characterized as incitement to genocide.

It’s not true.
Hamas has some radical members.

In October 2023, amidst the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, Dweik, who was then living in the West Bank, was arrested by the Israel Defense Forces.

Was the attack in relation to Dweik being arrested?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aziz_Dweik

People, donate to wikipedia

In 1992, Dweik was among 415 Palestinians associated with Hamas or the Islamic Jihad who were arrested and exiled to southern Lebanon by the Israeli administration of Yitzhak Rabin. Rabin acknowledged that those exiled were not armed militants, but people who represented the Hamas “infrastructure”.

Driven to the northern border with Lebanon, Duweik and the others were dropped off in the de-militarized zone between the two countries and warned not to come back.

Lebanon refused to allow them entry, so Duweik and his compatriots remained in no-man’s land.

They lived in tents and built their own showers and also set up an organized hierarchical system whereby Duweik was in charge of the deportees from the West Bank, while Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi was in charge of those from the Gaza Strip. After a year, Rabin agreed to let them come back.

Duweik ran for a position in the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) in the January 2006 elections. He ran on the Change and Reform list, made up primarily of Hamas members.

The victory of Hamas in the elections prompted Israel and the United States to cut off ties to the new government, maintaining contact only with Mahmoud Abbas, the President of the Palestinian National Authority, and not Ismail Haniyeh, its new prime minister, or any other elected parliamentarians from Hamas, including Duweik.

Haniyeh was the leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip from 2006 until February 2017, when he was replaced by Yahya Sinwar. On 6 May 2017, Haniyeh was elected chairman of Hamas’s Political Bureau, replacing Khaled Mashaal; at the time, Haniyeh relocated from Gaza to Qatar.

Hanniyeh participated in protests in First Intifada and was given a short prison sentence by an Israeli military court. He was detained by Israel again in 1988 and imprisoned for six months. In 1989, he was imprisoned for three years.

Following his release in 1992, the Israeli military authorities of the occupied Palestinian territories deported him to Lebanon with senior Hamas leaders Abdel-Aziz al-Rantissi, Mahmoud Zahhar, Aziz Duwaik, and 400 other activists. The activists stayed at Marj al-Zahour in southern Lebanon for over a year, where according to BBC News, Hamas “received unprecedented media exposure and became known throughout the world”. A year later, he returned to Gaza and was appointed dean of the Islamic University.

As of November 2016, reports circulated regarding Haniyeh’s succession of Khaled Mashaal as head leader of Hamas.

In February 2020, Haniyeh met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. U.S. State Department stated: “President Erdogan’s continued outreach to this terrorist organization only serves to isolate Turkey from the international community, harms the interests of the Palestinian people, and undercuts global efforts to prevent terrorist attacks launched from Gaza.”

On 7 October 2023, the day of the Hamas attack on Israel, Haniyeh was in Istanbul, Turkey. He said in a televised speech that day that “what happened reveals the greatness of our preparation. What happened today reveals the weakness of the enemy…” and that the Palestinian factions intended to expand the assault into the West Bank and Jerusalem.[30] He went on to say that Israel, “which cannot protect itself in the face of resistors”, could not provide protection for other Arab countries, and that “all the normalization agreements that you signed with that entity cannot resolve this (Palestinian) conflict”.[31]

On 10 October, Haniyeh said Hamas would not consider the release of any Israeli captives until the war was over. He claimed that the scope of Israel’s retaliation was a reflection of the “resounding impact” the October 7 attack had on the country, and reiterated that the Palestinian people in Gaza had a “willingness to sacrifice all…

On 16 October 2023, Haniyeh and Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan discussed the possibility of releasing the hostages taken during the Hamas attack on Israel.

On 21 October 2023, Haniyeh spoke with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan about the latest developments in the Israel–Hamas war and the current situation in Gaza.

Currently, 250 projects are operational, and construction continues for 20 projects within the scope of PPP projects introduced in the country over three decades ago.

In the distribution of projects, when looking number-wise, the energy sector takes the lead with 102 projects conducted via public-private partnerships.

It is followed by 46 projects in the road sector, 24 in ports, 23 in customs facilities, and 20 each in airports and yacht marinas/tourism facilities.

During this period, some 18 healthcare facility investments were made through this model, while other investment areas include mining, culture-tourism facilities, industrial facilities, railways and solid waste.

The total investment size of the projects for which contracts have been signed reached $98.6 billion in September prices.

Road investments took the first place within this figure with $32.5 billion. Moreover, other notable areas include airports with $24 billion in worth, while the energy sector’s projects resulted in a total investment worth $21.7 billion.

Furthermore, healthcare facilities came in next with $13 billion, while port projects were evaluated at $2.5 billion, industrial facilities at $1.7 billion, and yacht marinas/tourism facilities at $1.5 billion.

The transfer fee for operational rights to be paid to the public for these projects was $106.2 billion.

In distributing operational rights transfer fees by sectors, airport investments took the lead with $75.76 billion. This was followed by energy investments with $22.73 billion, port investments with $3.25 billion and yacht marina and tourism facility investments with $3.18 billion.

Among the 270 investments for which contracts were signed, build-operate-transfer and concession rights transfer models took the lead with 127 and 120 projects, respectively. These were followed by build-lease-transfer with 18 projects and build-operate with five projects.

I should have had the wisdom I now have when I signed a recording contract with MGM Records- I wouldn’t have signed it. MGM staffer Tom Scott [I think he means WIlson] was assigned as my producer. He brought in one of the visually wildest groups imaginable as my backup band, the Mothers of Invention. What a sight! Neanderthal. They had incredibly long, scraggly hair, and clothes that appeared not to have been washed in this century if ever. These were musicians who became famous for tearing up furniture, their speakers, their microphones and even their expensive guitars onstage. They were maniacs!

“Orange Colored Sky” was co-written by Milton Delugg, who some readers might recall as the band leader of The Gong Show.

The song embedded below, believe it or not, is actually a collaboration between Burt Ward, better known as “Robin” on the 60s Batman TV series, and Frank Zappa. Long circulated on variously titled bootlegs, “The Boy Wonder Sessions” were recorded in 1966 with Mothers of Invention (and Velvet Underground) producer Tom Wilson at the mixing desk. Mothers Jimmy Carl Black, Elliot Ingber and Roy Estrada are present, however Zappa himself doesn’t actually play on these sessions, although he arranged and wrote most of the material recorded. Note the bit that sounds like Zappa’s later “Duke of Prunes” composition near the end. This has Zappa written all over it in so many ways.

From Burt Ward’s autobiography, Boy Wonder, My Life In Tights:

I should have had the wisdom I now have when I signed a recording contract with MGM Records- I wouldn’t have signed it. MGM staffer Tom Scott [I think he means WIlson] was assigned as my producer. He brought in one of the visually wildest groups imaginable as my backup band, the Mothers of Invention. What a sight! Neanderthal. They had incredibly long, scraggly hair, and clothes that appeared not to have been washed in this century if ever. These were musicians who became famous for tearing up furniture, their speakers, their microphones and even their expensive guitars onstage. They were maniacs!

Of all the people in the world to team with this wild and crazy bunch, I can’t believe I was the one. The image of the Boy Wonder is all American and apple pie, while the image of the Mothers of Invention was so revolutionary that they made the Hell’s Angels look like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Even I had to laugh seeing a photo of myself with those animals.

Their fearless leader and king of grubbiness was the late Frank Zappa. (The full name of the band was Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.) After recording with me, Frank became an internationally recognized cult superstar, which was understandable; after working with me, the only place Frank could go was up.

Although he looked like the others, Frank had an intelligence and education that elevated him beyond brilliance to sheer genius. I spent a considerable amount of time talking with him, and his rough, abrupt exterior concealed an intellectual, creative and sensitive interior.

For my records, the plan was to record four sides and then release two singles prior to producing an album. After listening to me sing, Frank got a wild idea to make use of my hideous voice to do a hilarious recording with a song that had some of the Batman feel to it. He picked “Orange Colored Sky.”

I can’t bear to think of this song. The memories are too embarrassing. Though the intent was to create comedy by putting my lousy singing to good use, the actual result was so disastrous that the studio thought the tape had been left out in the sun and warped. They insisted on re-recording.

But first, MGM took a radical step as an insurance policy that my next session would sound better. They sent me to an expensive vocal coach—and no doubt hoped for divine intervention. Back in 1966 they were shelling out about $1,000 a week for those lessons. That was a lot of money, more than three times what I was bringing home after working twelve hours per day in my monkey suit for an entire week. With the coach raking in that much, even I am surprised that after two weeks of training, the lady politely asked me not to come back. I’m not sure if she felt that having me as a student was damaging to her career or if listening to me sing was destroying her eardrums, or both.

In an attempt at self-preservation, the record company had me just talk on the second two sides I recorded. That I could do very well! The material for the song was a group of fan letters that had been sent to me. Frank and I edited them together to make one letter, which became the lyrics for the recording. Frank wrote a melody and an arrangement, and we titled the song, “Boy Wonder, I Love You!”

Among the lyrics was an invitation for me to come and visit an adoring pubescent fan and stay with her for the entire summer. She wrote, “I will even fix you breakfast in bed. I love you so much that I want you to stay the whole summer with me!” The lyrics ended with “I hope you know that this is a girl writing.”

The song on the flipside, “Orange Colored Sky” was co-written by Milton Delugg, who some readers might recall as the band leader of The Gong Show.

Bonus: Adam West, dressed as Batman sang his own version of “Orange Colored Sky” when he hosted The Hollywood Palace on October 8, 1966. I’m not sure which came first:

“There must be no forcible displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, no reoccupation, no siege or blockade, and no reduction in territory,” Biden said.
What if they are radical Hamas or other terrorists?

War is displacement, move out the way, here we come.

Nothing is fair in war and looting. That’s the point. Peace is not fair either, some have it, some don’t, at any given moment in any given time and space.

The U.K.-based Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se) wrote in its 123-page report released Monday, that “at least 14 teachers and staff at UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees) schools have publicly celebrated the October 7 massacre and other Hamas attacks on their social media accounts.”

The Biden administration has given the U.N. agency $1 billion of taxpayers money since 2021. UNRWA operates schools and other humanitarian services in Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria.

USA taxpayer money…UN agency celebrating what on Oct. 7?

Ernst Calls on UN to Designate Hamas as Terrorist Organization, Impose Sanctions
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), co-chair of the Senate Abraham Accords Caucus, called on the United Nations (UN) to designate Iran-backed Hamas as a terrorist organization following its brutal October 7th attacks with the intent to eradicate Israel.

“Recent events have demonstrated that Hamas’ actions, tactics, and stated goals are in many ways indistinguishable from Al Qaeda, ISIS, and other terrorist organizations the United Nations has sanctioned. Therefore, we write to urge you to bring a resolution to the UN Security Council recognizing and imposing sanctions on Hamas as a terrorist organization,”wrote the lawmakers.

“Since October 1997, the US Department of Treasury has designated Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. Additionally, these groups have been listed as Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) since October 2001. Numerous other countries and international entities rightfully have designated Hamas as a terrorist organization, including Australia, Canada, the European Union, Japan, Israel, the Organization of American States, Paraguay, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Switzerland is also actively exploring legal avenues to designate Hamas as a terrorist entity,” they concluded.

It’s about the quality of the shit we’re full of. Nothing wrong with shit. Shit is like the word hate, it’s what we don’t want. We shit it out. The word shit can go from a verb, to a noun to an adjective, it’s very versatile. The images can go from a shit storm to that log in the pool in Caddyshack.

Terrorism bad.
Hostages free.
Win the war.
Clean up the mess.

Influence
it’s not outer fluence…social influence…be social within yourself…get along with yourself.

A person is marching in the street, and then another one…it all stems from the child that grows up and takes a long walk…and then, comes back home.

The child plants the seed, the people, in coming generations follow.

Dorothy, and her little dog Toto, had a dream.

Once upon a Kingdom, Disneyland came alive…and it lives on…in our hearts…in our super power…in our innocence and in our song. Disney exposes it all, and we can’t get enough.

It’s not going to end well…yet, only the end will tell.

If it weren’t for the closing chapter, the story would not come together. Without the coming together and going apart there is no transformation.

Watch a Disney cartoon with your child. Remember the joy, the anticipation, the raw truth and adventure. Disney time is family time.

If we didn’t have Disney, we would have been so naive and boring. Disney brought color, energy, story and song into a world that was ready for some magic. Disneyland, where we belong.

Disneyland will carry on, we make it strong, we sing along.

Disney is free speech in motion picture,
comedy and tragedy,
history and a leap into the future.
Disney awakens the imagination to the wonders of life and beyond…

I’m not afraid of cartoons.

How are the people in the hospitals in Gaza eating, and bathing? They don’t look hungry, they look so active.

Transgender athletes…people will sue the shit out of you…biology will win in a court of law, you can’t fool mother nature. We have Mr. T, T-Rex, Tea Time…how about T-men and T-women? We must not be that stupid because the powers that be don’t make it simple. Keep it tricky.

Keep that gratitude turned on, it’s called Thanks giving, if you’re not giving thanks you’re not going it right.

Thanksgiving is easy, all you have to do is eat and say thank you.

You don’t need a villain or a hero to have a great day. The sky is not falling, the sun is shining, all the time, somewhere.

First Halloween brings out the emotions, then we have a month to practice gratitude, next comes a month to ask for gifts and give in return, followed by New Years affirmations and action. It’s all part of the plan, the master plan.

America First means we make our country strong so we can grow and prosper, with people from all over the world, all cultures, working and trading, uniting for humanity.

America is the USA coming into harmony, each state like an instrument in an orchestra giving the performance of a lifetime. Americans, rise up, we have visitors. America First means we solve our own problems, we take care of our own issues, we become leaders who discover and explore places we have never been before.

People are coming to America first, they travel through hell to get here. If we don’t put America First we will get eaten alive. If we are not strong, welcoming and ready for the party, the guests and intruders will trash the place. America First means the party is on us, we better get organized.

The ants are marching one by one, oh my, get ready.
The ants are marching one by one, here…they come.
The ants are marching one by one, over the border, here they come,
and they all go marching down, underground, to get outa acid rain,
Boom, boom, boom…

Purple rain…is so insane. Good Lordy, help my brain.

What kind of a game are we playing, we had the decade of the brain infused with acid rain.

One of the big problems we are not talking about is gangs of kids, typically boys, way too young to be on the streets without supervision, throwing rocks. It’s one thing to throw rocks in a lake, or at a target, it’s another to swarm the streets and throw them at people, vehicles and windows.

Parents need to talk to their children about child soldiers, gangs, rock throwing, injury, and war. Kids are involved in war so children and young adults ought to be informed about it from their parents. Parents ought not be pressuring their children to become fighters or peace pushers…those are extremes. The fact is, there are child gangs and soldiers and it’s a pretty sobering and serious subject.

There are different ways to prevent war.

Discernment
Negotiation

What creates war…fight, flight, freeze and fawning…when taken to the extreme. Stress…when it gets out of hand.

Why do we have war?
because we have peace

Is love, agape love, male or female or both? Is it transcendent to separation?
I believe that it is, that is what unconditional or agape love means, not separated.
Love is the connector between I and you. Hence… I LOVE You.
You rise above the duality, on top of the mountain and see the city lights below and know that all is well…that’s the idea.

If you’re looking for someone to blame, perhaps you’re the miserable one.
Hope your day improves.

If you want to blame the outer world for your inner misery, you will succeed.
Why do you want to do that?

Books are the best. Books communicate without technology, like a secret stash of inside information.

I read, and now I’m a leader. I see things others don’t. It wasn’t easy learning to read, but I practiced and didn’t judge myself. I like theatre, so I read slowly, as if it’s a performance. I read for comprehension. I read out loud and to myself. It’s actually quite enjoyable. People didn’t know I couldn’t read, my wife was my hero, she would read and explain things to me. She learned to read as a child, her mother taught her. I could not have built my business without her behind the scenes working overtime. She is a brilliant women, she helped built this country, to make it what it is today. You can’t tell my looking at her, but she works like a bulldog. Her love of children keeps her youthful, and people mistake it as being innocent and naïve. She’s not innocent, yet she is hopeful. She educated herself so she believes in human potential. Now that I enjoy reading, I can’t imagine living my life without books, I used to look at the pictures and now I can read entire articles.

Learning to read changed who I am, it’s changed my life. I feel differently towards the human race than I used to, I realize how intelligent we are and can be. Today, I am dedicated to encouraging others to learn to read, it takes a few years of practice, like any other skill, before it becomes second nature, but it’s worth it. Reading is one of the most important skills to master. It is a gift that keeps on giving.

I don’t think the White House can ever completely belong to one person; it belongs to the people of America.

The president puts in such long days, there is not much time for socializing.

He would do official entertainment, and that should not be treated as a drudgery, it should be treated as a joy and done as graciously as possible.

The first lady should preserve the traditions (White House) and enhance it and leave something of herself there.

Politics is one of the most rewarding lives a person can have.

You’re always living in a state of a challenge. You’re always being demanded to meet a crisis.

Biden has declared, “The only reason there is an abortion ban in America is because of Donald Trump.” Biden needs to be reminded that we the people do have influence. Who does Biden think he is, someone who is here to serve and represent the people, all the people, or be on the Trump is a ‘choose the slur’ and play the blame game. The abortion industry is practicing infanticide, that’s the issue. People, generally speaking, don’t like that, they think/believe infanticide is a crime. We need to make sure our foster care, orphanages and schools are doing a quality job in caring for children who don’t have parents. We need to encourage mothers to have healthy relationships, to learn parenting skills and to raise well adjusted, well-nourished children.

Since the first discussion of genocide began in relationship to the attack on Israel Oct. 7 a lot of new information has been offered up. Hamas has claimed responsibility. The people claiming genocide are ignorant. Hamas has shown brutal, barbaric videos to professionals. Israel declared war, gave a 24-hour warning, brought in supplies and was attacked, offered to help people leave the hospital, tried to communicate with doctors to help, exposed Hamas weapons, supplies and underground tunnels, exposed children in gangs attacking Israeli professionals, and the people have shown up to express their demand for release of the hostages, which were brutally kidnapped after being exposed to a massacre, of course the people want peace…but this war…and war doesn’t stop on a dime. Calling this genocide is a distraction because it’s not what happened. These dancers have the right to dance, we don’t cover up. There were some rogue leaders in Hamas, telling the youth to murder people who are unarmed and they will get material things. It’s the oldest story in the book, it’s not religious.

Since its establishment in 1948, Israel has witnessed significant changes in its demographics. Initially formed as a homeland for the Jewish people following the Holocaust in World War II, Israel has attracted Jewish immigrants from around the globe.

Religion in Israel is manifested primarily in Judaism, the ethnic religion of the Jewish people. The State of Israel declares itself as a "Jewish and democratic state" and is the only country in the world with a Jewish-majority population (see Jewish state). Other faiths in the country include Islam (predominantly Sunni), Christianity (mostly Melkite and Orthodox) and the religion of the Druze people. Religion plays a central role in national and civil life, and almost all Israeli citizens are automatically registered as members of the state's 14 official religious communities, which exercise control over several matters of personal status, especially marriage. These recognized communities are Orthodox Judaism (administered by the Chief Rabbinate), Islam, the Druze faith, the Catholic Church (including the Latin Church, Armenian Catholic Church, Maronite Church, Melkite Greek Catholic Church, Syriac Catholic Church, and Chaldean Catholic Church), Greek Orthodox Church, Syriac Orthodox Church, Armenian Apostolic Church, Anglicanism, and the Baháʼí Faith

The day after Oct. 7
U.S. demands condemnation of Hamas at UN meeting, but Security Council takes no immediate action
Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood made clear the U.S. is focused on condemning Hamas for an “unprovoked invasion and the terrorist attacks.”

UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. Security Council held an emergency meeting behind closed doors Sunday, with the United States demanding all 15 members strongly condemn “these heinous terrorist attacks committed by Hamas,” but they took no immediate action.

U.S. deputy ambassador Robert Wood said afterward that “a good number of countries” did condemn the Hamas attack but not all council members. He told reporters they could probably figure out one of them.

Russia’s U.N. ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia said we all condemn the attacks on civilians on Oct. 7, 2023.

Oct. 8 report in response to the Oct. 7 attacks.

Wood made clear the U.S. is focused on condemning Hamas for “this unprovoked invasion and the terrorist attacks,” and said Hamas must end its “violent terrorist activity against the Israeli people.”

Asked if it wasn’t important to restart talks on a two-state solution and end the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he replied: “There’ll be time for that. The time right now is we’ve got to deal with the hostage taking, the violence that is going on that’s being perpetrated by Hamas. and we’ve got to deal with first things first.”

Malta’s U.N. ambassador, Vanessa Frazier, who called for the meeting, said she didn’t know if the council would adopt a statement, but added that any condemnation must be mostly against Hamas. “Palestinian civilians are also victims in this and Hamas put them in this position,” she said.

This doesn't sound like genocide, because it's war and who committed war crimes…Hamas…and they are proud…they made videos of barbaric murder.
