In the early evening 8th August 2019
Today, as I ate a simple evening meal, my beautiful and totally fabulous dog Zion took up his regal poses so that he could be near me. OH FOR GOODNESS SAKE he is so incredibly handsome. I am blessed. We are the best of friends! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- My evening meal was home made gazpacho - a perfect cold soup for the end of a hot day. I use a Williams Sonoma Recipe (omitting the red onion which causes it to be a bit too pungent for my taste). https://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/traditional-gazpacho.html
WHITE NATIONALISM IS AS AMERICAN AS APPLE PIE - from our earliest days
MARCO GETS IT WRONG Speaking in St. Petersburg, FL today Senator Marco Rubio (R FL) got it desperately wrong. "White Nationalism", he said, "is un-American". That's a statement with pious intent, made with historical ignorance. White (Christian) Nationalism is in our national D.N.A. It is rooted deeply in our history and culture. It shaped, and still shapes our nation. We have had at least four white nationalist Presidents - Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson, ( the sainted progressive ) Woodrow Wilson, and the Present Occupant of the White House, together with another sainted progressive, the antisemitic F.D.R) Here are some tid bits by which I make my case. No sooner had the pious Anglicans and adventurers settled in what we now call Virginia; and the pious Calvinists and their hangers-on invaded what we now call Massachusetts - they decided that their white bodies and "Christian" souls were essentia...
Avoiding politics! This that and the other.
Memory is tricky. But I am more or less certain that I saw the Bristol Brabazon Aeroplane in the air when I was a wee lad. The "Brab" and its pilot Bill Pegg are part of Bristol (U.K.) lore and pride. https://www.damninteresting.com/the-plane-that-flew-too-soon/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am more certain that with my twin Elizabeth I rode on the back of Rosie the Elephant at Bristol's Zoo I could even be in this 1949 photo'. These many years later I think "dear, poor Rosie. How miserable you must have been to live that solitary life cut off from your parents, siblings and companions". Elephants are social animals. A single Elephant in a Zoo is a sad and miserable animal - solitary confinement is torture. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Island of Lundy in the Bristol Channel (home to many Puffins) ...
Good for Beto
Washington (CNN) Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke reacted angrily Sunday to an inquiry about the motivations behind the deadly massacre in El Paso, Texas, where the shooter allegedly targeted immigrants, saying "connect the dots" because President Donald Trump is "promoting racism." The comment from O'Rourke came during a vigil for victims of the shooting, which left at least 20 dead, after the former Texas congressman and El Paso native was asked by a reporter, "Is there anything in your mind that the President can do now to make this any better?" Trump: 'Perhaps more has to be done' on gun violence "What do you think? You know the s--- he's been saying. He's been calling Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals. I don't know, like, members of the press, what the f---? Hold on a second. You know, I — it's these questions that you know the answers to," O'Rourke replied. He c...
