Trump is letting Putin manipulate him again. Trump is so desperate to force a peace in Ukraine thereby perhaps getting him the Nobel Peace Prize he so desperately wants that the Alaska meeting may be Trump’s Munich.

At the moment, everything is “desperate” for Trump. He desperately wants “his huge ballroom.” He speaks of construction beginning soon.  He forgets there is a National Capital Planning Commission. Its approval required. Takes time. Big time to obtain.

Finally! Major League Baseball has hired its first female umpire. Jen Pawol.

Popular quote: “The only way to prove you are a good sport is to lose.”

Trump wrong to assign FBI agents to Washington Streets to work overnights. Washington has its own police forces. Federal troops not required. Only Trump thinks so. He is always playing another game. One to gain notoriety.

The facts do not justify what Trump is doing. He is assigning 120 FBI agents. Statistics do not support Trump’s position. Violent crime is down 26 percent since 2024, homicides 12 percent. Juvenile arrests this year down 900, 20 percent fewer than the same time last year.

Groucho Marx quote: “Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend.”

A white-only town exists in rural Arkansas. 

The group making up the population says it is about freedom and community. Critics say it is a dangerous step toward organized hate.

I searched for the community’s name. A strange one: Return to the Land.

A new Satanic neo-Nazi group is recruiting children as young as 12. Located in Germany. The group is named Milikolosskrieg. It emerged last year.

Most members 12-18.

Trump has stashed the portrait of former President Barack Obama in a hidden stairwell in the White House.

Wonder how Trump will feel in the future if his portrait is buried in hiding?

Winston Churchill: “Mr. Attlee is a very modest man. Indeed he has a lot to be modest about.”

America’s bees are dying at an alarming rate as scientists try to figure out why. Several reasons therefore. Losses running from 55 to 80 percent.

I repeat again. Trump is “desperate” for a Nobel Peace Prize” more than anything else.

Donald Trump has an approach to wielding power. There is a simple paragraph in his 1987 book “The Art of the Deal” that proves it: “My style of deal – making is quite simple and straight forward. I aim very high, and then I just keep pushing and pushing and pushing to get what I’m after. Some I settle for less than I sought, but in most cases I still end up with what I want.”‘

Yesterday August 10 was National Lazy Day.

Alcatraz. On this day in 1934, the first federal prisoner arrived at Alcatraz Island. The island became home to more than 1,500 prisoners over the next three decades before closing in 1963.

Enjoy your day!

I have been criticized. Big time. Not uncommon.

Yesterday’s blog was total Donald Trump. Unavoidable. The man is everything in the U.S. and world. Sometimes all the news worthy to report is Trump news.

I took a beating for it, however. The chastisement was unexpected. Sometimes, as yesterday, Trump was the most appropriate news to report. I did not expect the large anti-Trump response, however.

You are correct. I am correct. Trump is the biggest news maker in the world. This week especially. He is setting Ukraine up to be screwed. Kissing Putin’s ass in the process. Zelensky will not go for it in the least.

So no Trump today, unless I come across something sufficiently newsworthy.

The Florida Everglades is rampant with pythons. Perhaps in excess of one million. Hurricanes of old responsible followed by a prolific reptile.

Pythons are difficult to eliminate. Will be with us forever. All that can be done is to limit its volume. Minimally. 

Florida tries everything. Worthy to note. “Every thing that will never work. But Florida tries.” Florida’s most recent effort is the deployment of robotic rabbits to remove the invasive pythons. It will not work. Merely reduce to a minimum.

Jordan Spieth nowhere near making the Ryder Cup Team this year. His opportunity remote. I doubt he will even come close.

He is trying hard, however. Pushing to get a spot. 

A Mae West gem uttered. “Sexette” in 1977: ” Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?”

ICE agents have taken over the halls and chairs at Manhattan federal courts. Wrong! Big time wrong! Why are the Judges permitting it?

The ICE agents are masked and armed. This the USA? How is it permitted?

I repeat today what I said in another fashion yesterday: The economy is cracking. Most alarming!

We know egg and gasoline prices are rising rapidly. As well as other goods. Gasoline fluctuating in recent days.

There is another cost factor which receives little attention. Health Insurance. Beware! It is rising faster than the price of eggs or gasoline.

We are close to the date of the end of World War II. August 15, 1945. Today is August 10. Five days away.

I recall Japan’s surrender. I was 10 years old. It was a wow! Especially with the two atomic bombs thrown in.

Live and learn! Earwax, also known as Burmese cerumen, is actually good for us. Ear wax prevents dryness, traps microbes, and protects ear skin.

World War II ended 80 years ago. Information as to how people lived and confronted the War still eking out. The English never knew when they had to rush to an air raid shelter. Including Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The Prime Minister was not always “dressed.” Preferred to work casually attired. He had to dress quickly in case of an emergency.

To accommodate the need, he had a series of one-piece suits made. Ones that could be donned quickly. Similar to overalls. Included everything from the suit itself, shirt, tie, etc. All one piece. Even black tie suits for formal occasions. Some even had a cigar jammed in the breast pocket.

Dining changes have occurred. There is more solo dining. Solo dining has increased by 271 percent. Restaurants are adapting by adding more bar seats, communal tables, and counter-service options.

Bigger than big! The world’s largest cruise ship has arrived at Cape Canaveral. The Star of the Seas. Weighs 250,800 gross tons, has 20 decks, 7 pools, 6 waterslides, and more than 40 dining and drinking venues.

The vessel accommodates 5,610 passengers at double occupancy, more than 7,000 passengers at full capacity. Plus, 235 crew.

Yes, there is news and information as well as that of Trump’s out there. However, Donald’s news more timely and important.

Enjoy your Sunday!

A simple yet accurate statement: The America we have is rapidly slipping away.

Another simple yet accurate statement: Trump is economically illiterate.

A New York Times Opinion Piece suggests some Presidents act like 5 year olds. I agree.

Gaza’s hunger is a moral crisis. Israel and the world could do much more to alleviate the emergency.

Universities and the President should not be in bed together as some are becoming. Independent thought is vital. It has to come from somewhere. Be certain. Disagree when necessary. Come up with new thoughts on occasion.

What is happening today is wrong. Trump is crucifying and changing the modus operandi of our institutions of higher learning. Freedom of thought is on the chopping block.

Trump is operating the Justice Department from a personal perspective. With no credibility. He has his nose in everything.

The year 2026 has become everything. So suggests Frank Bruni. He believes Democrats must prevail in the midterms. I agree.

Trump’s actions against civil society harm us all.

A California county is experiencing a fast moving wildfire. The fire has grown almost 5,000 acres as it spreads.

Trump has ordered the Pentagon to be used where it has not before. He is requiring the armed forces to carry out certain police enforcement activities. 

The military are not police officers. Not trained to be, nor do we want them to be or so act. “We the people” do not want our military to be cops also. Understand!

Ukraine is greeting the planned Trump-Putin summit with deep skepticism. They do not believe Trump and Putin have the ability to deliver a peace plan they can accept. Especially when Ukraine has basically been kept out of the planning for the summit.

Trump is up to it again! He has revived his first term policy of separating migrant children from their parents. Even more wrong, the newer version is happening far from the border.

The Trump Administration has begun to strip federal workers of union protections. The Department of Veterans Affairs appears to be the first agency to begin such terminations. The anticipated terminations thus far more than 30,000.

Government takes the place of management. It functions as management does in non governmental employment. Protections are required in the public governmental sector also. Especially where Trump is the boss.

A federal judge has chastised Trump for moving FEMA funds from one area to another. Judge said no way, Jose! Trump cannot be permitted to screw around with FEMA. The man must be taught to leave well enough alone.

Lawmakers from both parties have castigated the White House for letting money for cancer research be moved to other areas. How stupid Trump’s people are to have allowed such activity.

GOP doing fewer town halls. Understandable! People, regardless of party, are getting beat up. They know and don’t like it. They are refusing to take it anymore. 

Will it affect the 2026 elections? Of course!

Trump continues to play get even. One example is Lteta Jones’ successful fraud case against the Trump real estate empire. A second suggests the Justice Department is looking into James’ high profile litigation against the NRA.

Sick! Not the way government at its highest level should be conducted.

Everyday items like cars, coffee and clothing are poised to get pricier with new tariffs. Average U.S.D. tariff rates will get higher .Eventually jump to a high not seen since the Great Depression.

Thank you, Donald!

I have been out of the hospital 3-4 weeks. Better, not well yet however. Still using walker. Cannot use cane. My activities strictly limited. Not driving, not walking without assistance. Fortunate to have friends and relatives to drive me around and run errands for me.

Doctor says another two months till better better. Normal, hopefully.

Sometimes I am not a happy camper. Limited overall re activities. However I am 90 and still here. So I try to complain not and say thank you to all who assist me.

Enjoy your day!

Nearly 2 million Americans are on unemployment. The highest since 2021.

Lanternflies are swarming Virginia. Threaten Virginia’s $8 billion wine industry.

Word is the FBI will assist Texas law enforcement in locating Democratic lawmakers who left the State to block a Trump backed redistricting effort. A wrong as to the FBI. Texas Democrats have every right to exercise their freedoms as they see it.

Trump is “power crazy.” Now wants to take over what he considers crime in Washington, D.C.

Bess Levin is dealing big time with RFK Jr. in Vanity Fair’s “This Is What We voted For!” MAHA would celebrate mRNA (Experts Say It will Kill People). Read Levin’s article.

The FAA wants to hire 9 thousand air traffic controllers. It won’t be enough. What do we do?

I do not understand. Hegseth wants to return a Confederate Memorial to Arlington Cemetery. The Memorial was removed in 2023 at the recommendation of a Congressional Committee to remove Confederate symbols and memorials.

U.S. and Japan deal not a deal “yet.” May not be. Japan claims details not spelled out. Wording full of arrogance. 

The problem a draft one. Typical of quick type deals Trump makes so he can appear to have made a deal. Wording vague.

Enjoy your day!

I can write. However I cannot correct mechanical defects. As proven by the several days my computer was sick. I had to wait for Sloan to come over and do that which I could not.

Always find it amazing. I spent two days trying to fix before I called Sloan and then waited a few more days for her to work me in. Sloan arrived and it took her all of two minutes to discover and correct the problem.

Trump’s newest tariffs to take effect today. India being one. Trump in effect penalized India with an additional 25 percent tariff because India was selling oil to Russia. Trump is under the impression that the world must do what he wants all the time. If not, he will do whatever is necessary to punish.

Economists are convinced Trump’s tariffs on imports will get passed onto U.S. consumers and businesses.

Young American men continue to be depressed. They must learn how to overcome their problems. Sleeping in Mom’s basement and complaining about not being able to get a decent job not the answer.

Young men must learn to stand on their own two feet and go after the good which life can provide. There was a time they did. No more. Sit back and cry if they fail to move forward economically. Stay poor as a result.

U.S. economy is receding. Trump’s fault. Always is. America’s working class must move its ass! Wait not for Donald to move his ass first nor be the moving force for economic good in every instance.

Trump has in effect begun a war with China. No way to play political games. Too much at stake. Lives primarily!

Donald is forcing an economic recession. He does not possess the smart mind he believes.

Trump has made the U.S. a global pariah, allowing Xi to flip the script.

Warren Buffett says when the tide goes out, you will see who is not wearing shorts. Donald is coming up bare ass!

Japan is home to the world’s most populated city – Tokyo. In 2022, Tokyo’s population was 37.3 million people.

Live and learn. The Great Wall of China is not a continuous structure.

Interesting! Alexandre Gustave Eiffel was one of France’s leading sculpturers in the 19th century. As a result, he was a national choice to design the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty was built even before the Eiffel tower.

Traveling through the Panama Canal generally takes 8-10 hours. Two weeks if and around Cape Horn. The Cape Horn fee extravagant, however. Average toll $150,000. Larger ships more One so big it cost $829,000.

FBI says crime is dropping across the U.S.

A significant day in American history. In world history. The United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Eighty thousand killed, thirty five thousand injured. Helped to end World War II against Japan.

An interesting item to close with. A fruit. A pineapple.

There was a time when when the theft of a pineapple landed a person in prison. In the 1700s. The fruit was rare and expensive. Roughly $17,000 to $23,000 in today’s money.

Wow!

Enjoy your day!

Donald, thank you! No Social Security COLA payment will in all likelihood be made October 15th. Nor at any time this year. It will mark the first time this century that one will not be paid.

Warm weather, warm water. Means hurricane season an almost certainty. May such avoid the Keys!

It has happened. The inevitable. Why? A Catholic priest is back to work in the Vatican’s Secretariat. A priest who was convicted of possessing and distributing pornographic materials. Convicted by a Vatican Court and sentenced to 5 years in jail. Served 2.

He is the Rev. Carlo Abbot Copella. Now 58.

Pope Leo has a problem. What to do with a priest so convicted working in the Vatican? 

Trump leaves people confused. He claims the U.S. has given $100 million to Gaga aid so far. Actually $30 million of which only 10 percent ($3 million) has so far been disbursed to the Gaga Humanitarian Foundation.

He lies!

Trump plays “get even” often. Not the way a President should function.

Jack Smith the perfect example. He properly prosecuted Trump. Trump now prosecuting him. I repeat, not the way government should be run!

Today is National Watermelon Day.

The U.S. is one of the top 4 porn sites worldwide. Kind of a Mount Rushmore of virtual smut. It attracts some 2.3 billon American visits per month. Typical users remain 8-10 minutes.

Confucius: “Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”

Norway’s lighthouses are ancient. Need to be brought into the 21st century There are 1,000 constructed along Norway’s coast. All need work.

The Smithsonian has removed all references to Trump’s impeachments. The error recognized. The impeachments are scheduled to return.

Small earthquakes jolted New Jersey and New York City around 10:20 last night. Near the Teterboro Airport.

Trump intends to build a new large ball room as part of the White House. Experts do not agree as to its necessity or location.

Fantasy Fest 2025 kicks off October 17 this year. A bit early. Why?

Two interesting Comments in Citizens’ Voice.

One is the claim “Make America Hated.” Allegedly our new slogan since January 20. The whole world hates us, is disgusted with us, and cannot wait for this tyranny to end. If we ever needed another “Summer of Love,” it’s now.

The other is the battle over Pride Walkways. The cry therefore proof strangely that homosexual Key West is moving in an opposite direction. Glad the City has put a temporary stop to the idea.

I have a concern. Many of you also perhaps. The weather. The heat has been too much this summer. My concern the heat will provide the basis for a hurricane. We definitely do not want one!

Enjoy your Sunday!

Carolla wrote me yesterday. Pictures included. She is in Ireland for one month visiting her 94 year old Dad.

Seventy years ago, her Father helped start a soccer club there. His recent honor was for his contribution at the time. The soccer club building was named after him these 70 years later.

He was proud. Carolla was proud. Everyone in attendance was proud.

Carolla is a good daughter. Visits her Dad one month a year in the old country. Her son with her.

I did not make it to Brady’s last night for the pierogi dinner. No car available. Still using walker. The walker and I will continue being friends for several more weeks.

Trump more and more a war monger. He keeps pressing things. I have mentioned several times his pushing is going to get us into a war.

Now he is stepping on the big guys. Russa in this instance.

Trump yesterday deployed two nuclear subs into tactical positions after online threats from former Russian President Dmtry Medvedev. Such escalated tensions between the two nuclear superpowers not wise.

Why do Trump’s frustrations constantly rise? He could/may accidently push us into a war of significant proportions!

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is going to shut down following failure to finance by Trump and Congress. After being a cornerstone of American culture for three generations. 

Job growth slowed big time in July. Only 73,000 jobs added. A dangerous sign. The first major economic sign pointing to danger ahead for the U.S. economy.

The Vatican is the world’s smallest fully established nation-state, yet one that most others would like to have.

The Vatican Museum stretches through four miles. Includes 29 museums that contain more than 70,000 exhibits.

The Sistine Chapel, decorated by Michelangelo, is the last museum located in the Vatican complex.

FOX was the first to run a U.S. President on TV. It was Frankin Delano Roosevelt during New York’s World Fair in 1939.

Enjoy your day! 

Me thinks we continue to lose friends! The fault being Trump’ s tariff policies.

Trump’s tariffs are aggravating and insulting. Former friends, good friends, are becoming enemies. In due course, a war could occur with a “former friend.” Like Canada for instance. Trump announced he was raising tariffs on Canada from 25 percent to 35 percent today.

Trump claims the reason therefore is because Canada has failed to cooperate in curbing the ongoing flood of fentanyl flowing into the U.S. Experts on the other hand claim relatively little fentanyl comes into the U.S. via the northern border.

Donald, you are destroying the U.S.

The U.S. fertility rate has dropped to an all time low in 2024 with births 1.6 per woman. Prior thereto, the U.S. rate was 2.1 births per woman. The 2.1 number was sufficient to insure each generation replaced itself.

August 1. Today is International Beer Day. Drink hearty, my friends!

Men born in the summer season months are more likely to be gloomy with depression later in life. Based on a study done at Kwantlen University in British Columbia.

I agree. I am July born. Now 90 years old. I have found in my later years a tendency to be occasionally depressed. Mentioned it to my doctors. Their comment it’s common. I don’t worry about it.

Excuse my repetitiveness, but Trump is tariff crazy. Canada received a 35 percent increase which began immediately. Other countries receiving increases, though in lesser amounts. One exception. Mexico getting a 90 day reprieve.

Smithsonian has an Impeachment Exhibit. The museum removed Trump from any part of the exhibit. Wrong! It is remaking history. What was is. Cannot be changed.

Where did the potato come from? Tomatoes. From millions of years ago. Now has a life of its own.

Senator Bernie Sanders said it well! “There is no miliary purpose in starving thousands of children.” Well said.

The Washington Post writes it best: “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” Well written.

Trump is 79. He is on a national health tear. Trump is telling everyone to live and act healthy

The pot calling the kettle black. Trump again is 79. He has swollen ankles, enjoys feasting on McDonald’s and Diet Coke. and soon will be the oldest President to occupy the White House. Trump weighs 224 pounds (if it can be believed).

He obviously wants good health for everyone except himself.

A MAGA champion who said Trump would fight child predators has been arrested on charges of being a child predator. Scott Souckey is the husband of a prominent Wisconsin GOP operative has been accused of possessing child pornography. Ten counts. He was accused of possessing child pornography received through a file-sharing system.

Mark Twain: “It’s better to keep your mouth closed and, let people think you ae a fool then to open it and remove all doubt.”

Moby-Dick author Herman Melville was born this day i 1819.

I recall the incident as if it were yesterday. On this day in 1966, a sniper killed 14 and wounded 31 at the University of Texas.

Today is friday. Hope to get out tonight. To Brady’s Irish Pub for Polish pierogis. Depends on whether I can get a ride. Still getting around with a walker. 

Hard to believe. The cost of eggs continue to rise.

Enjoy your day!

Good things happen. Sometimes take too long. However if a good end is achieved, the wait will have been worthwhile.

So it may have been with the Chart Room.

I was a loyal daily customer for years. Then a new bartender appeared. The worst. Terrible personality. I could not take him nor my favorite bar any longer. I stopped going to the Chart Room. I found the experience sad. However, the bartender forced my hand.

It has been years since I have enjoyed my haunt of old. Now it may change.

Steve told me the Chart Room finally has a new bartender. He and Cindy ceased gong for the same reasons I did. As all of our Chart Room friends did also.. The bartender made it that difficult to attend.

I am confident the word will spread. We will all try out the new guy. Hope he has the proper personality for the position.

I had some necessary things to get done yesterday morning. Still not driving. My “mobile” is the walker.

Steve was good enough to be my wheels again. He drove me everywhere yesterday morning.

First, Dr. Norris’ office. Steve patiently waited for me to finish. Then to Publix to have a prescription filled. Followed by a visit to the County Office Building on White and Truman Streets. My “disabled parking” sticker would run out today. Got a new one.

Steve had to guide me walking, up steps, etc. Open and close the walker for me. A good man!

On this day in 1975, Jimmy Hoffa was reported missing. Never to be heard from again. Thought to be the victim of a Mafia hit.

Today’s heat brings to mind strange truths. One is drinking a hot drink on a hot day can actually cool us off. Why? Sweat is the by product to cooling down.

Shoppers are stressed. Makes no difference to sellers. Most brands are raising prices anyway.

I worry about Social Security. Every day more and more comment about “a new way” for Social Security. Like “savings accounts……privatizing Social Security.”

Why screw around with something that works? Trump and his people are nuts!

Kamala Harris may run for President again in 2028. Why not? She was a “good candidate” in 2004 in spite of losing.

The problem as I see it is whether the U.S. is prepared to elect a female Presidnet. We may still be behind the times.

The EPA has done wonders for climate control. I know. I was an environmental attorney. That is till Donald became President. For some reason, he is opposed to the EPA and wants to end all climate regulations.

A liar of some substance. Pete Hegseth. Rumor has it he is interested in becoming Tennessee governor. Good! Let him screw up one state instead of a nation and the world.

Laura Loomer has had the President’s ear for a long time. Two more adminstration officials are gone after complaints by her. Read the excellent article by Bess Levin in Vanity Fair on the topic.

My clothes are washed and ironed by the same people who clean my apartment. The past 5 weeks, the clothes have been returned cleaned, but not pressed. Look like hell!

I telephoned the owner of the business yesterday. I am coming up a loser. ICE captured the “ironer” and no one now knows where she is.

John Roberts has had his day as a superior Supreme Court Justice. He has evolved, however. Not in a good way. He has turned into one of the worst Chief Justices in the history of the Supreme Court.

When the quake hit Russia, doctors were performing scheduled surgeries in operating rooms. All handled the problem well. Bless them!

A warning: Christmas food prices will shock! Will be up by at least 6 percent.

Trump continues to make al kinds of deals with other countries. All look good on paper. What will be the reality?

Like gas. The U.S. has promised to supply and other nations to buy more gasoline than the U.S. can supply nor the countries can buy. Yet Trump boasts loudly the good he has accomplished!

Guy DeBoer is at Mackinac Bridge. Bearded and ready to participate in the Chicago Yacht Club Race. The longest fresh water race in the world.

Rum, bar and a long Jimmy Buffett celebration. August brings the late summer in fun to the Keys.

Israel lies re Gaza. Its denials beyond understanding Lacking in righteousness. Lacking in responsibility.

Trump released his plan to revoke birthright citizenship. It’s worse than imagined.

I have not seen the “Sex and the City” sequel. However, I have read many comments. All negative. The claim is it is a “humiliation ritual.” Then why is it not removed from the internet?

I close with a beef comment re the cost of beef.

The cost of beef is astronomical! Beyond reasonable. One reason is responsibility. Four companies make up 80 percent of the beef supply.

Enjoy your day!

I went out last night. Finally! Tuesday Happy Hour at The Grand. Matt bartending.

Steve and Cindy carted me each way. Needed the walker.

It was great to get out. See people again. Especially Jean Thornton and April Gallagher.

Enjoyed small clams in a deep butter sauce with soft bread.

A God is good evening!

Insane asylums were commonplace when I was young. Large major employers. Then there were none.

They may return. It is rumored the White House my bring them back. Hopefully a major accommodation will be provided for Donald Trump.

Florida’s Attorney General James Uthmeir is combatting child trafficking In his first two weeks, he recovered 40 children.

A major move is underway to stop eating meat. Especially beef. Beef from cattle that eat grass from the ground. Considered healthy. A great provider of protein. However the move is to produce beef in laboratories. Why, I do not understand.

The U.S. is in trouble. China’s popularity grows while that of the U.S. declines. 

Trump has screwed Texas with cuts in FEMA. Especially food. Graves for the dead, little food for survivors.

England is giving 16 year olds the right to vote. Will the U.S. follow?

Hogseth in the hot seat. He is now described as the “Creme de la Creme of Dysfunction.”

Elizabeth Warren says Trump is truly into a “crypto cash market.”

On this day in 1921, Adolph Hitler became leader of the Nazi Party.

On this day in 1981, Prince Charles married Lady Diana.

Americans want to know what is in the Epstein files. Good, bad or indifferent. If Trump and other prominents played a role, let it be revealed. Such persons should not be our leaders.

Trump wins again with judicial nominees. Three major whistleblowers buried Emil Bove. Nevertheless, his nomination to a federal court seat was Senate approved 50-49.

Major medical day for me monday. Dr. Norris and Nurse Linda visited. Separately. I am improving. Still a  long ways to go.

Tsunami alert issued for U.S. West Coast and Japan after 8.8 magnitude quake. The quake struck off Russian coast. It marked among the top six strongest earthquakes ever recorded.

Beer spas newest wellness trend. Drink a beer while soaking in a tub full of beer. The trend began in Europe and has moved to the U.S.

Mexican dentistry on the rise again. Cheaper than the US. Considerably so. Mexico City has become known as “Molar City.”

Organized hate on the move in the U.S.  A “white only” community. Being organized in Arkansas. Viewed as a “Return to the Land.” Anti-U.S.

What is happening to us?

Florida Lobster Season short term begins today. Two days. Crowded, crazy fun!

Pythons have become a major problem in South Florida. Difficult to eradicate. Florida has come up with a new approach to destroying pythons. Artificial solar powered remote controlled rabbits. Florida hopeful pythons will be fooled.

Time will tell.

Henry Ford was born this date in 1863.

One of the most important dates in American history. This day in 1965. Medicare and Medicaid established. Great aids to American citizens. We must be careful not to permit Trump to destroy them.

I close with a right on observation: Food has become a memory in Gaza.

Enjoy your day!
