Trump to begin.
What comes out of Trump’s mouth is generally disgusting.
All four of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s sons served in World War II. Lincoln’s son in the Civil War. None of Trump’s four sons have never served. Yesterday or today. Barron is eligible. In two weeks, he will be 20 years old.
Recall Trump’s words which struck hard and demeaned thousands of American war dead. He said soldiers who died in war were “suckers” and “losers.” I doubt Trump will ever have a sucker or loser in his immediate family.
Trump says he must be involved in picking Iran’s next leader. Is he crazy? Though things appear favorable for the U.S. at the moment, you never know who will be the winner in Iran. Iran could very well be another Ukraine.
Trump not only wants to be King of the U.S., it appears he must want to be King of the world. A bad man is he!
The War is doing well for the U.S. economically. A joke, of course. The DOW dropped more than 1,000 points yesterday. Oil prices are pushing higher. Both results of the Iranian War. Good job, Donald!
Last year and into the beginning of this year, Trump periodically made it appear Putin was his friend. He could sit down with him and resolve any problems. Rarely was he successful.
Now his friend Putin is screwing him in the Iranian War. Russia is providing Iran with information re the U.S. Things like the location of U.S. warships and aircraft in the Middle East.
I reported yesterday China was providing information to Iran also.
Who needs friends like Xi and Putin.
Query: Did Trump and his staff consider what China and Russia would do in their pre-war discussions? Probably not. It was let’s invade….. Iran cannot withstand our overwhelming military force.
Trump fired Kristi L. Noem as Secretary of Homeland Security. Her deportation campaign one of the reasons.
I find her dismissal amusing. She probably did the job the way Trump wanted. Now is crucified for it.
She deserves to be dismissed. A liar at heart. Was she one before Trump hired her or did she become one thereafter?
Moving on.
A California status symbol was a wine cellar in a home. When California was a big drinking state it was understandable. No more, however. Drinking has diminished greatly in California.
Waste not, want not. Older homes have remodeled their wine cellars. Newer homes build a different facility. Todays it’s infrared saunas, cold plunge rooms, meditation spaces or dedicated fitness studios.
Michelangelo born this day in 1475.
Over 200 killed at the Battle of the Alamo this day in 1836.
Everyone takes aspirin on occasion. A bottle of aspirin is in everyone’s bathroom medicine cabinet. Aspirin was patented this day in 1899.
Ancient affluent Romans heated their homes by heating beneath the floors in other rooms. The warm air was blown to occupied rooms beneath the floors and kept the house occupants warm. These homes were large and on the outskirts of Rome.
I visited them on one of my Rome trips. No question, the homes of the rich in their day. Even the road outside the homes. A large stoned roadway/highway. The road the same the ancient Romans built hundreds of years ago. Still used. The homes even had toilets. Somewhat similar to ours today, though made of concrete.
The homes are worthy of visit the next time you may be fortunate to be in Rome.
Some Presidents were very prolific. John Tyler the most. He fathered 15 children. Thomas Jefferson 12. However not all my his wife. He had 6 by his wife and it is believed 6 by his Hemings girl friend.
The first dollar was called a “Continental.” It was issued by the Continental Congress in 1775. The U.S. stopped issuing them in 1777.
The first U.S. $1 note was printed in 1862. George Washington was not on it. Secretary of the Treasury Salmon Chase was. It was a vanity thing with Chase. He thought he looked good on the dollar bill and kept printing them.
Nurse Paige yesterday. She exercised me inside and then we walked two blocks outside. Recovery takes forever!
Enjoy your day!
