bobbieinok's JournalForeshadowing from British history??
I read somewhere that in the 19th century in Engand it was against the law to publish what was discussed, voted on, and decided in parliament.
I do not remember where I read this, and I do not know if it is true. I have always found this bit of info immensely chilling.$
Tulsa policewoman, acquitted in death of black man, resigns
Lawyer says she was working in a small cubicle with little interaction
with officers or public. He states she was 'meant to be a beat cop.'
Today's Female Profiles in Courage
There are a LOT of women speaking truth to power,
loudly and publicaĺly.
Sen Elizabeth Warren and Sen Kamala Harris questioned
'authorities' and were vehemently reprimanded.
'But she persisted.'
And Sally Yates was fired for refusing to do what she knew was wrong.
Anđ Hui Chen quit her job, refusing to do what she knew was wrong.
'But she persisted.'
21st Century Profiles in Courage role models for girls and women!!
What did legislature do to state employee unions?
I'm no longer in IA. Son texted me that legislature
recently gutted state employee unions. Only power state
universities' unions now have is to try to negotiate pay.
This does not sound good. What's going on??
ATTN!! Delta continually separates gay couple
This was reported today at bilgrimage.blogspot.com.
William Lindsey and his partner of over 40 years
booked seats together on Delta out of Little Rock.
When they got their tickets before boarding, they
found Delta had separated them. This pattern was
repeated on their connecting flight and on their return.
Each time they booked seats side by side, but each
time they learned Delta had changed their seats
separating them. Delta has given them the run-around
each of the several times they tried by mail and phone
to get an explanation.
Lindsey also reported some funny busness with his
laptop in the airport while he was posting this info on
social media.
March of Dimes founded by FDR!!!
So 'good reason' for Mitch and GOP to hate it, right?
According to Wikipedia, that's why FDR's profile
is on the dime.
Shooting in Congress
This seems to have totally disappeared from our memory!!!
In March 1954, some Puerto Ricans wanting independence
got into Congress, wounding several and killing a policeman.
Google lists info at Wikipedia as well as some videos of the
event.
Why Putin and not USSR??
Money listens only to money.
USSR, being anti-capitalist, didn't understand this.
Putin, being the number one capitalist today, does.
Pour in overwhelming amounts of money into US
...politics
and YOU'VE GOT YOURSELF A PARTY
(in both meanings of the word)
Insight into Trump and lighted ball
Everyone has seen the weird picture of Trump, Saudi leader, and lighted ball. Then I saw this video on Youtube 'Ecco Il mondo... Samuel Ramey in Mephistophle'. Ì'm sorry, I don't know how to link on my tablet. Mephistopheles plays with the ball/world and taunts the people. Interesting to compare the 2 scenes.
Analyze Trump with opera plots?
Have new tablet and have discovered opera on youtube. Many villains who drag others to destruction. Eg. Faust. Any opera fans with suggestions?
