Our esteemed President knows no better. He continues to screw everything up. Does not appear to know how to do good and avoid evil.
He is knocking the historical portion of the Smithsonian Institute. A true historian in his own right. He signed an executive order that signage be placed near the National Museum of American History cautioning visitors about “incorrect information.”
The Eisenhower Building stands next to the White House. Solid gray concrete. Trump wants to paint it. Probably will screw the building’s appearance as he has the Reflective Pool.
The Correspondent’s Dinner was finally held Friday evening. Reportedly a disaster. Some described Trump’s words as “brutal.” Humor generally lacking. Described as vindictive also. He also suggested he might seek the 2028 Presidency. God help us!
Donald and Melania gave everyone the impression that Barron was to be protected. They appear to have failed. Recent rumors suggest Barron has problems similar to that of other members of his family.
The Gordie Howe Bridge opened to traffic Friday without fanfare. The U.S. and Canada had been friends for more than 100 years. The best of friends. Trump screwed that up and continues to do so. I respect the Canadians for standing up to Trump. They refuse to be defecated upon by the Donald. Yesterday it was announced that Canada and China are going to do a major piece of business together. One which Trump anticipated would be done with the U.S.
Trump said a few days ago the war with Iran was on again and would be big time. Trump in effect was going to blow up everything important in Iran. Well, he has been stopped. Not by Iran. By his own advisors. They believe the U.S. does not have sufficient air defense munitions. I find it all strange, but do not doubt it. I thought we were the strongest nation in the world. Apparently not.
A New York Times article this morning spelled out Trump’s push to use the Qatari plane led to ballooning costs and a trade off of safety features. Apparently Donald was not that concerned even for his own safety.
Trump puts his nose everywhere it does not belong. He planned to send a U.S. delegation to visit Argentina in order to cast doubt on the Argentine voting system before the vote this Fall. Argentina said in effect no way! Argentina denied visas to the U.S. delegation.
Enough of the Donald. I move on to other things.
Crocodiles replace their teeth multiple times during an average 70 year life time. Each crocodile replaces roughly 4,000 teeth.
Gerald Ford was not his real name. Not his first. He was born Leslie King Lynch Jr. A far cry from Gerald Ford.
His father abused his mother badly. She fled him with her 16 day old son Leslie. In due course she married Gerald Rudolph Ford. The man we know as Gerald Ford changed his name to Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr. when he was 22.
Interesting. Model T Fords were all black because black paint dried faster.
The baby boom following World War II caused a nationwide diaper shortage.
Pampers were launched in 1961. These disposable diapers cost 10 cents a piece at the time.
Pablo Picasso is one of the most recognizable names in art history. Not his full name, however. His full name had 112 letters. One first name, two last names and 12 middle names. For real!
Britain’s celebrated Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson was one of the most famous and successful British naval heroes. For more than three decades. During that entire time, he suffered from sea sickness almost all the time.
Ronald Reagan was the first U.S. President to have been divorced. His first wife was actress Jane Wyman.
People in the Victorian era often took pictures of the dead.
One of George Washington’s earliest past times was writing reviews of American inns. A man of many talents.
Tea was first sold in Britain in the 1660s.
Surprise. Neither China nor England drink the most cups of tea. Turkey does.
The rainiest place in the world is India.
There are 214 billion Christians in the world.
Sixteen billon jelly beans are produced each year in the lead up to Easter.
So much for today.
Enjoy your Sunday!
