I really don’t owe my Trump-supporting friends an apology. I’ve been critical of the Trump presidency these last several years, and am still exhausted from the experience. But to be fair, President Trump wasn’t that bad…………..other than when he incited an insurrection against the government, mismanaged a pandemic that killed a million Americans, separated children from their families, lost those children in the bureaucracy, tear-gassed peaceful protesters on Lafayette Square so he could hold a photo op holding a Bible in front of a church, tried to block all Muslims from entering the country, got impeached, got impeached again, had the worst jobs record of any president in modern history, pressured Ukraine to dig dirt on Joe Biden, fired the FBI director for investigating his ties to Russia, bragged about firing the FBI director on TV, took Vladimir Putin’s word over the US intelligence community, diverted military funding to build his wall, caused the

Let Mayor Mike Bloomberg Debate! He Deserves to Have His Ideas Presented and Questioned by Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren. DO HIS IDEAS MAKE SENSE?

https://www.mikebloomberg.com/ 

He Did a Great Job as Mayor of New York City. Maybe He Could Run the Entire Country The Same Way. 

I really Enjoy His TV Channel. Very Informative. He Could Buy a Billion Dollars Worth of TV and Internet Advertisements... 

Remember: Mike Bloomberg Could Hire Elizabeth Warren to be Secretary of the Treasury - That's Her Strength... Pete Buttigieg as Secretary of Defense... Bernie Sanders as Vice President... Kamala Harris as Attorney General... Jay Inslee as Head of the Environmental Protection Agency... and Every Other Candidate Gets a Cabinet Post... Maybe Even Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State... 

Mike Bloomberg is a middle class kid who worked his way through college.  After getting laid off at age 39, he started a company from scratch and built it into a business that today employs 20,000 people.  He gives virtually all of the company’s profits to charity, to support causes he is passionate about, including gun violence, climate change, education, women’s rights, and health care.  He served three terms as Mayor of New York and created nearly a half-million jobs, expanded health insurance to 700,000 people, reduced the city’s carbon footprint, and cut the incarceration rate by nearly 40%.  Now he’s running to unite America, defeat Donald Trump, and start getting big things done.

ARREST TRUMP and His Evil Family, Too Embroidered Baseball Cap
by gregvan

YOU MAY CHANGE THE WORDS IF YOU WANT TO... Everybody Chant - Lock 'em UP!, Lock 'em UP!, Lock 'em UP!, Lock 'em UP! Obvious Criminals but Somehow, Above the Law! WHY? Where is Morality? Where is Sanity? "They" say we can't Indict a Sitting President BUT You never Know What You Can Do Until You Try!

  https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/13/us/new-york-power-outages/index.html

New York power outages darken the Great White Way, Times Square and portions of subway system... Mayor Bill de Blasio, who was campaigning for president in Iowa, said it appears the outage was the result of a mechanical problem in the electrical grid.
"This appears to be something that just went wrong in the way that they transmit power from one part of the city to another," he told CNN. "It sounds like it is addressable in a reasonable amount of time."
The city's fire department was responding to numerous transformer fires, the first of which occurred in Manhattan on West 64th Street and West End Avenue, officials said.

Once I was driving my friends to New York City to go see an Art Gallery Exhibit. It was Laser Holographs and at that time they were very new and rare.

We were all in my Dodge Omni (Ken, Ken the son, Mark and I) when the Police pulled over a group of cars that were speeding on #95... We were all going with the flow and traveling at 75-80 MPH... Obviously the correct speed and obviously illegal. I got a ticket and years later I learned that the State of Merryland had RECIPROCITY with the State of New Jersey. When I went to the MVA to pay my registration I was refused service unless I paid the bill and fines in New Jersey. I parked at the Newark Airport and we took a bus to Manhattan. We saw a Laser Lightshow at the Planetarium. The ART Gallery was Very Special (Museum of Holography) because the pictures were printed on clear plastic and had a rainbow colored portrait of a Woman blowing a kiss. as I walked left and right she reversed time and moved her hand to her lips and Blew the Kiss... Magic...

If all you know about New Jersey is the freeway #95 you miss a lot of The Garden State. The western part is farms and woods. I visited some kids who had built a cabin in the woods so they would have a place to smoke weed. It had logs for walls and a parachute for a roof. It was summer so the parachute was missing. The Jersey Shore has a couple of wonderful places... First I must say that Atlantic City SUCKS. I went there and won money and then was worried about walking to the car at night and getting mugged... I made sure to look sad when teenagers were checking us out... If I had a Happy Step, they might have realized I was a winner... We did hear Glenn Campbell Play Guitar and Sing. He played the guitar behind his head... and played the notes perfectly... Showmanship... 

The FERRY BOAT From Cape May to Delaware is EPIC. All along the Seashore are quaint communities of wooden buildings... and there are hundreds of places to go wading in the ocean. MANY have a Toll you have to Pay. ODD... All the way from Atlantic City to Ocean City Maryland there are lovely towns... People rent a house for a week and have fun. or just for the weekend... When I was working in Washington DC my co workers would often shout O.C. BOUND! on Friday Afternoon... We went with my cousins from Baltimore (Towsend) and everyone bought watermelon on the drive to Ocean City... There is a Boardwalk with rides, shops and Salt Water Taffy! Sadly, if you leave on Friday there is a MAJOR Traffic Jam at the Bridge over the Chesapeake Bay at Annapolis.

After the Riots ended they had a Protest March... and that was the First Gay Pride Parade... and event that is celebrated every year since all across the nation.  https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/stonewall/

The Grateful Dead were "Banned" from the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland because of too many fireworks in the parking lot... The venue is close to the State of South Carolina where people can buy rockets that fly up into the air and explode... SO...

I guess there was a danger of BURNING DOWN THE FOREST... anyway, the next Year the dead started Playing in a Basketball Arena... Maybe this is a true story or maybe they just wanted a bigger hall so more people could get in...

In Pittsburgh, PA I remember a lady had "Liberated" a Roll of bright orange Supermarket stickers that said "BONELESS" and she was sticking them on boys... I thought it was funny... Kind of a Pranksterish Thing to Do...  That was the Crosby, Stills and Nash & Dead Concert and there were many People from Canada and New York City attending... Great Show and The Three Rivers Stadium is a Perfect Circle with all the Echoes Cancelling near the Pitchers Mound... Yes, they did play "Teach Your Children" and Jerry Garcia played the Pedal Steel Guitar... 

At RFK Stadium in Washington, DC I men many Deaf Students from Gallaudet University... They said that Phil Lesh's Bass did not require Hearing using Ears as We could Feel it in the Stomach...

Photo of me demonstrating American Sign Language for the Phrase "Do you have any LSD?"

I love playing "Deal" on the Guitar... It's Really Simple... and Fun to Sing in Public... I Remember Playing that Song in Lafayette Park across the street from the White House in Washington DC and Some Homeless Guy said he Liked that song about a DEER... I guess I wasn't pronouncing the words accurately... In Contrast, a Homeless woman really hated "The Golden Road." The Lyric "She's a Neon Light Diamond, She can live on the Street" pissed her off...

~~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~~

I attended a Live Performance of Seastones at Winterland in San Francisco... The record has a lot of Classic Analog Synthesizer Sounds... He turned up the Resonance on the Band Pass Filter and Modulated the Pitch using a Low Frequency Oscillator... You Know that sound... Like Spaceships Taking Off in 1950's Science Fiction Movies... Thanks to Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead, Ned Lagin got a bit of NOTICE by the Deadhead Audience... Thanks Phil, for Finding him...

My real Gratitude is that I Bought an Analog Synthesizer and Played That Cosmic Outer Space Whoosh Whoosh Music Myself... Korg Poly Six and Roland SH-101 with a Micro Composer... 

~~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~~

I saw the Jerry Garcia Band at San Jose State, California... That was the only concert that I got to Dance Right next to the Stage in front of Jerry... I remember that he was drenched in sweat... Those Stage Lights are HOT! and it was Just too loud for me so I moved back after a while... The big song of the Night was "Lay Down Sally" by Eric Clapton. That is a really PERKY Song with a Difficult to play rhythm... Jerry was able to play it well... I remember the Bright Orange Streetlights after the show caused a totally odd color scheme...

Jerry also was able to Master the Rhythm of "La Bamba" while all the other guys seemed to be scrambling to keep up... at a performance at the Capital Center in Landover Maryland...

The BIG U - a Seawall around Manhattan to keep rising water out. Climate Change causes increasing danger... The Ocean is Rising, coastal cities plan for flooding...

The Plan is to build a giant wall to keep the Ocean from flooding Manhattan... No action is planned for New Jersey, Queens The Bronx or Brooklyn...

Big U Seawall to protect NYC

In collaboration with New York City, The BIG U proposal was developed to protect Lower Manhattan from floodwater, storms, and other impacts of a changing climate. The BIG U calls for a  protective system around the low-lying topography of Manhattan beginning at West 57th Street, going down to The Battery, and then back up to East 42nd Street.

Greg Vanderlaan: I was at work at WREX plastics Factory in Chico, CA. I was sitting out front waiting for my shidt to start and a co-worker drove up... He said, "They blew up the Pentagon." I said "Good." We had no more information about what happened in New York or Pennsylvania until a couple of hours later when the QA inspector gave us updates... It turned out to be more than just the Pentagon... eventually over a million people died as a result of the events of thet day. 3,000 in America on 9/11/2001 and 6,000 Americans in the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars and an uncounted loss of life of Iraqi and Afghan people.

Billy Gartside: I was delivering a quarter of weed to a couple of students just around the corner on Parkfield Road.They opened the door,one said "you won't believe what's on the TV" so I sat down in the living room and watched transfixed for 45 minutes.

Spanhippy Kevin: I was waking up for high school. Turned on the tv to find the first tower hit. Then about 10 min later I watched the second tower get hit on tv. It was horrible and still is. The feeling I got from all those peoples energy. But now to find out through documentaries seeing how beautiful strangers where risking their life to help anyone they possible could. My Love and Prayers go out to the family's that where effected through 9/11. May God Bless You All

Unsolved Mysteries. 

Why didn't the airplane hitting one corner of the World Trade Center cause it to tilt?

Why didn't the building lean towards the structural damage? 

Why did WTC 7 fall down at all? No airplane hit #SEVEN yet it fell down as if it was a controlled demolition... Oh MY... 

and... 

Never forget that CIVILIANS DEFENDED THE COUNTRY in Pennsylvania. 

Why did the military fail completely? 

What can we learn from this experience to help the military NOT FAIL?

How can we avoid blowing up the wrong country in retaliation?

Iraq had NO WMD, No ties to Al-Qaeda and Nothing at all to do with 9/11. 

and...

How can we end the war in Afghanistan that is still being fought today?

ISN'T THE MISSION ACCOMPLISHED YET?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Downwind of twin towers? 2010 Census data of the neighborhoods under the smoke cloud shows what trends? We have clear photographs taken from space showing the footprint of the smoke from the Twin Towers.

When I was working at the Postal Service Engineering Department there were many immigrant employees that I became friends with.

 Since the USPS did not require a Secret Clearance from the Department of Defense, it was one of the few places that an immigrant draftsman could work in the Washington DC Area. One Friday night three of us went to New York City to attend a Hindu Wedding. I drove... We stayed at an apartment building in the Bronx. The entire multi-story building was filled with Hindus from around the world. They had a temple in the backyard. There was a lot of "Sacred" food to be eaten and supposedly we would be insulting our hosts and the Gods if we refused to eat it. The Groom was coated in a yellow colored spice (Saffron). He had a bad allergic reaction to it... I ended up eating much more than I wanted to. On the night before the Wedding we went to a Hindu Disco and danced. Some of the people my friend was related to lived on one apartment building and some lived in a different one. We had to walk the women from one building to another because the neighborhood was dangerous and they feared getting abducted... So whenever a woman wanted to go to the other building, we escorted her... At the wedding an old woman played the drums... My friend was from Guyana, South America... a former British Colony. His ancestors were imported slaves from India. 

The third person in our adventure to NYC was a black American man. His mother lived in NYC and she was the owner of a Rastafarian Bar. We did not get to visit because the air conditioner in the bar was broken. Too bad... It would have been an interesting place to visit. Another draftsman at the USPS was a man my age from Vietnam. He said that when he was a child he watched the American Bombs exploding and he thought they were pretty. I'm not making this up.

I have visited the John Lennon memorial in Central Park, New York City. I was walking along when I noticed a dramatic shift in consciousness among the people...

They all seemed to be moving slowly and had thoughtful expressions on their faces. Then I noticed a tile mosaic floor that said "Imagine" and I realized where I was.

I'm enjoying a 1963 movie called "Sunday in New York" starring Jane Fonda and Rod Taylor. It's fun to see the "on location" shots of Central Park and the old cars, buses and airplanes... That was a time... Before the War in Vietnam... I can relate to Ronald Reagan's slogan "Make America Great Again" as the memory of our youth is sweet... I was in third grade in 1963... The current President, Donald Trump has copied Reagan's slogan and made it popular again.
