Tidbits of information.
One billion rotisserie chickens are sold in the U.S. each year.
Henry Ford built a plastic car from soybeans in 1941. His intention was to blend metal with agriculture. He created a plastic vehicle which weighed 2,000 pounds. At that weight the car was much lighter than an all steel one. However, World War II caused production to cease.
The world’s first billionaire was John D. Rockefeller. He first worked as a book keeper. Then a candy maker. Finally got into oil. Standard Oil. Made him the man he became.
Few are aware Rockefeller’s father was a “con artist.” Known as “Devil Bill.” Made a living passing as a traveling doctor, selling fake herbal cures and telling lies.
There was a time watermelons were neither red nor sweet. Were white and bitter.
Today, 100 million are produced yearly. The largest “vegetable crop” in the world. Yes, a vegetable, not a fruit.
It was the War of 1812. On this day in 1814, the British set fire to the White House.
On this day in 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted destroying Pompeii and other nearby cites. Twenty thousand persons were killed.
America’s first great leader was George Washington. His talent revealed itself beginning in 1775 when he took command of the Continental Army as the British were occupying Boston.
Trump’s approval rating is dramatically going down. A study released friday revealed 40 percent “strongly or somewhat” approved of Trump. However 56 percent said they “strongly or somewhat” disapproved of the President’s job. Four percent were not sure.
Trump going to Chicago militarily. He apparently is satisfied with what he thinks he has accomplished in Washington, D.C. A couple of days ago, he said Chicago was next. Yesterday, soon. Today, Trump announced Chicago will receive a few thousand National Guard members and some active duty troops.
The man is destroying America. Planting seeds of destruction everywhere.
Trump screwed up today re Ukraine. First he was going to end the war in 24 hours. Then promised to bring Russia and Ukraine together.
Thus far Trump has failed in every respect.
Yesterday, he said a “solution,” his “solution,” in 2 weeks. Today he announced a pause in his peace effort. Doesn’t know what to do.
I think all this Ghislaine Maxwell testimony is bullshit. She is saying and doing whatever is necessary to get her out of jail.
I recall as a lawyer in Utica returning an overdue book to the library about 3 months late. On a monday evening when the place was packed.
An elderly woman was working the desk. She was less than polite. Reamed me big time! Loudly! Embarrassed me. I may have deserved it. She did not have to do it, however.
The San Antonio Public Library received an overdue book with a letter through the mail. The letter: “I hope there is no late fee for it because Grandma won’t be able to pay it anymore.
The book was late. Eighty two years late!
The library said it was the latest a book had ever been received. The book: “Your Child, His Family and Friends.” A guide for parents to help them investigate relationships.
The book had been borrowed in 1943.
Perhaps I should have waited till dead and had someone mail it back for me with a similar letter. It would have saved me the embarrassment. Appreciate I never was late with a book again!
Enjoy your sunday!
One billion rotisserie chickens are sold in the U.S. each year.
That is something to think about. It takes a year to cook and eat all those chickens by how meany people? But our elected leaders spend that number of our tax dollars each blink of the eye!
Yep and ALWAYS worse under Republican regimes – ALWAYS!
Either way we taxpayers get pay for it and screwed-ALWAYS.
Amazing, we’ve finally done it. Our once free nation, is now the only democracy with military on our city streets, as a way for our leader to keep us in line with what HE wants!
….and nobody is raising a word to protest this monumental event.
If you are a cop, understand your government in Washington is telling you that YOU are NOT good enough.
BTW, be careful – they are armed and completely unaccountable!
Because of crime ridden democrat run big cities we need national guard protection to keep these cities safer. It seems to be effective in Washington. Why not try it in Chicago. Safer cities are good for everyone
Nonsense. Crime (except by a Republican President and many of his cronies) in Washi=ngton DC was down, as it is in Chicago and other most cities with good governments, both Republican and Democrat led. Trump is grandstanding for his base and NOTHING else. This is just dishonest and wrong. It will also backfire, like EVERYTHING else he has done and is really sad.

Well, for all the people who can’t seem to hear the words….. that was the advertised Trump-Bannon plan in 2016. The deconstruction of America.
Those who don’t seem to hear those words, just choose not to, or agree with the deconstruction of America. So, here we are. Get used to it sheep!
BTW total deconstruction is in reality – destruction.
Trump is NOT smart enough to understand the difference, but is happy with screwing things up (to that end) as a way to have power and wealth (and young under age girls).
What will happen to Dr. Phill abord his $18,000.000 yacht, BAD MARRAGE in St. Barts now if America is destroyed Jorge? Will he pay his taxes? Will he ever come to KW?
Maybe Herb Chambers, the owner of the luxery yacht EXCELLENIC, a successful US car dealer known for owning the Herb Chambers Companies, will be next to take control of the car sales in KW and dock his ship here in KW, It is newer and can hold 14 guests, two more than Dr. Phill and now also now in St Barts.
Maybe “Truthful Mary” will get HER own blogsite and stop bringing up topics Lou, on his own “blog” never mentioned.
Bad form Mary (EYW) !!!!
If Trump wins the Noble Peace prize, I am nominating Attila the Hun for the prize!!
