The Knicks Parade yesterday morning in New York City absolutely outstanding! I watched it from the comfort of my bed.
Thousands lined the Parade’s path. Perhaps a million or two. Everyone, whether a watchee or on one of the floats, having a good time. It was New York at its best!
Lets see if the Knicks can repeat next year. What a feat that would be!
Something noted from 2022 to 2024. Perhaps ongoing even today, but not exposed yet.
Epoch Times reported yesterday that the “Chinese Communist Party was running a secret police station in New York City” in 2022.The “police station” was located at 107 East Broadway. The FBI shut it down in the Fall of 2022. The two persons operating the facility were arrested. One was convicted in federal court of being an illegal agent of a foreign government.
A study in 2026 revealed China was operating at least 100 such facilities in 53 countries.
Smart people these Chinese!
How many more are in the U.S. today? I would assume many under one guise or another. It is one of the ways foreign governments spy on each other.
The U.S. has a feral hog problem. They are ravaging some parts of America. It is estimated there are 7 million in the U.S. today. Difficult to control. Takes time and money. Missouri took them on in 2016 and reduced the population by 84 percent.
Where did the feral hogs come from? The answer found in a trip back in history. The explorer De Soto brought them first. To be used as game for hunting. Other explorers continued to bring them over in the 1500s. More were released in the U.S. in the 1900s for hunting purposes. They are promiscuous by nature. Mated and grew. Not stopped. Knew how to care and protect themselves.
The abolition of slavery was announced in Texas on this day in 1865 by Union soldiers. The Civil War was over. Slavery was abolished. The day is known in Texas as “Juneteenth.”
Everyone sat in peace talks with the Indians. On this day in 1868, a Father De Smet talked peace with Sitting Bull.
On this day in 1953, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for espionage. The electric chair was utilized They had been convicted of conspiring to pass U.S. atomic secrets to the Soviets.
I was 18 years old at the time. I recall their case. The whole Nation followed it closely. There was no sympathy for the Rosenbergs.
One of America’s greatest actors died this day in 2013 at age 51. James Gandolfini, TV’s Tony Soprano.
Some Donald.
Trump had an interview on The Axios Show. Trump said two significant things. Neither correct.
One was that there were “no limits” to his power after the Iran War. The other that he struck the peace deal to avert a global economic depression. Note one he had already begun.
Both responses indicated Trump is crazy. He knows not that of which he speaks.
Hegseth lifted the flu vaccine requirement for the military. As a result, nearly 160 troops at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas came down with the flu within two months.
Good job Hegseth!
At the end of March this year, Trump spoke at a forum in Miami which was attended by Saudi officials. Trump said: “The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia can kiss my ass.”
Typical Trump. A “class” statement. His mouth should be washed out with soap.
There are four nuclear powers in the world: The U.S., Russia, China and India. Russia, China and India should take Trump in tow. Tell him to shut his mouth and if he talks to remove the belligerencies. Trump would listen to them. He wants to be one of them, one “of the boys.”
In the meantime, Trump should take control of Netanyahu. The gent who conned him into the Iran War. Netanyahu is destroying the Middle East.
Is the Iran War over? I doubt it. Time will tell. A short time.
Moving on.
Key West plans a 250th Celebration of America on Saturday, June 27, at Truman Waterfront Park. An evening of music, food, drinks, and activities.
Dr. Norris back. I had an appointment with him yesterday afternoon re my throat. After a lengthy discussion, it was decided to put the Miami surgery on hold. I was not excited about the surgery.
His wife Kathryn there. They had returned two days earlier from a two week family vacation to Rome, Santorini and Mykonos. Had a ball!
I am back to nurses. Have two visiting me today. One at 10:30, the other at noon. I am not complaining. At my age need to be sure everything is in good working order.
Enjoy your day!
