Excellent bathroom inspiration,Steve! I will share on my blog!

Hi Ron,
I’m compelled to share this absurd concept with you.
“ a shower thought I had about a possible way to end the U.S./ Zionist war on civilization. (or at least, a compelling movie script!)We will exploit the “exceptional suffering” of the Jews which the Zionists have monetized since the Holocaust, ad nauseam, with extremely well-funded marketing.
An A.I. generated video of Anne Frank speaking from the afterlife, pleading that the Zionists stop the genocide in Gaza…. and wars altogether. Through a masterpiece of A.I. technology and advertising genius, Anne Frank will appear ethereal, as an apparition, a hologram, making ghostly appearances to throngs of “believers” the world over, in the tradition of Fatima and Medjugorje.
They will employ all the manipulative tools in the arsenal of the dark powers of persuasive marketing, and penetrate all mainstream media, alternative media and social networking with an unprecedented campaign to assure that this voice of Anne Frank be heard loud and clear throughout the world in every language. It will pop up on every smart phone, on every digital device and in every major sports venue.
There will be some debate as to its authenticity. Is this divine intervention arriving just in time to save mankind or is it an A.I. hoax? Is A.I. a divinely inspired product or a potentially evil human construct? It doesn’t matter— it’s profitable!!!
It also won’t matter because people are believing it and taking it seriously. This is exactly what both sides— now at the brink of nuclear annihilation need as “a way out”— to save face!
The Anne Frank apparition will entrust Trump and Netanyahu with a “prophecy” that only they can know… rumors will circulate as to what the young Jewish martyr revealed to them. But they will not reveal the dark prophecies that were entrusted to them (just as Our Lady of Fatima did) but they will not disclose it. (This IS, after all, their “ticket out of jail card!).
They will abruptly stop the war with their dignity restored , and will proceed immediately with an epic peace treaty. The bombing has stopped abruptly. A worldwide cooperative effort to clean up the mess made by misguided human beings will begin.
The world can now breath easy as the specter of nuclear obliteration will be gone. And all because of a bright young martyr— who, through the miracle of Artificial Intelligence, brought the world “an offer it couldn’t refuse”.
Other world leaders like Putin and Xi will be stunned by the absurdity of this spectacle but will have to admit that it was pure military and marketing genius. The Iranians will be partying in the streets proclaiming Allah has won the hearts of the enemy. This is “win-win” for civilization.
From the Vatican there will be rumors that the Roman Catholic Church is considering proclaiming A.I. Anne Frank the first “secular saint”! ( they can do this with a straight face since they’ve done more ridiculous things).
And who will doubt this “miracle”? Certainly not the billionaire oligarchs who have invested fortunes in A.I. Technology! Even those angry “new atheists” will smile wryly as this obvious fraud settles their stomachs with what should be an unsettling paradox. It is the equivalent of “spiritual bitcoin”— not real currency — but a good investment!
And the stock market is ejaculating with enthusiasm!
Of course there will arise counter-absurdities from the weak opposition: rally’s will spark up showing mass burnings of all copies of “A Diary of Anne Frank”. But that will fade away quickly as people accept the bizarre, inexplicable, but very profitable message from the young apparition.”

See you tomorrow at Kim’s get-together!

Marxist fanatics cannot shout " Workers of the World Unite " and ridicule all religious working class people . That is not exactly " How to Win Friends and Influence People "
Marxist " vanguard party " organizations proudly displaying " enlightened " ( ? ) members' contempt for Christianity , for religion in general , for belief in God is one big reason that they stagnate decade after decade never coming anywhere near to winning the hearts and minds of potential " vanguard " working class people. The biggest mistake of the old Soviet Union was not SOCIALISM ( I speak as an independent democratic socialist ) . It was turning itself into a global showcase for " official atheism " and dreary Stalinist tyranny. I wonder how many " Clear " ( as in the Church of Scientology ) members of the Socialist Equality Party follow the New Atheism Cult New Hate group videos on YouTube . When I ask a groupie if he or she can apply their deified - and sophomoric - LOGIC & REASON to capitalism , American imperialism , and Israel Zionism I get the verbal equivalent of a blank stare or a snarky dismissing one liner : " Did you take your meds today ". The New Atheism Cult slobbers over a number of celebrity scientists like astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson and biologist Richard Dawkins. They are both capitalist Culture of Narcissism obnoxious Islamophobes in addition to being proud God haters . Of course , it is much safer for the vociferous atheist scientist to throw rocks at God in Heaven than to apply " critical thinking " to the social system of their capitalist paymasters. Does not the World Socialist Web Site see these vociferous New Atheists ubiquitous on YouTube as a front for the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party which never has a serious quarrel with capitalism , American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism ? What chance do these creeps have of sparking a mass exodus from FAITH ? And not for nothing Marxist " vanguard party " organizations have stagnated and degenerated for more than a century now. None of the elan of the turn of the century socialists. I do not recall the American socialist leader Eugene V. Debs denigrating God and Christianity to the masses . As far as I can tell there are no Debs in any Marxist " vanguard party " in the present era . They can't shout " Workers of the World Unite ! " and ridicule all RELIGIOUS working class people. That is not exactly " How to Win Friends and Influence People " !

GOOGLE AI search result : Are there examples in world literature or just in everyday news of excessive grief over a lost love symbol ring " [ I think I just lost ( ? ) my deceased woman companion Dorean's silver ring gift ]
[ "Are there examples in world literature or just in everyday news of excessive grief over a lost love symbol ring? " ]Yes, profound and often agonizing distress over a lost love-symbol ring is heavily documented in both classic world literature and real-life news events. Because a ring represents an endless circle of commitment, fidelity, and identity, its loss is rarely treated as a mere financial mishap—it is frequently grieved as a psychological trauma or a tragic omen.Here is how this acute form of grief manifests across both domains:📖 Examples in World LiteratureIn literature, losing a love token ring is rarely just an accident; it is used by authors to drive characters into madness, severe marital strife, or existential grief.William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice: In this classic play, Portia gives her husband Bassanio a ring, warning him that if he ever loses or gives it away, it will presage the ruin of their love. When Bassanio is later manipulated into giving the ring away out of political obligation, it triggers an immediate, devastating wave of marital horror, guilt, and social ruin. A parallel subplot features Shylock, who falls into a fit of agonizing grief and rage upon learning his runaway daughter traded his dead wife’s turquoise ring for a monkey. He declares he "would not have given it for a wilderness of monkeys," showing that the symbolic grief completely eclipses his usual obsession with money.Gotthold Ephraim Lessing’s Nathan the Wise: This classic German Enlightenment play centers entirely on the "Ring Parable." It features a magical heirloom ring passed down through generations from a loving father to his most beloved son. When a father has three sons and makes two duplicates, the loss of the "true" unique ring of love causes existential grief, religious factionalism, and immense psychological distress among the brothers, symbolizing the fractured state of human love and faith.The Victorian "Mourning Ring" Tradition: In 19th-century literature and historical accounts, people commissioned rings woven out of the actual hair of their dead partners. Losing a mourning ring was treated with "excessive" grief because it meant literally losing the last physical, biological piece of a deceased spouse.]
📰[ Examples in Everyday NewsIn daily news and viral public forums, the loss of a wedding or engagement ring routinely causes severe emotional collapses, often requiring community-wide interventions.]The 70-Year Heirloom Trauma (2026): In March 2026, 95-year-old Long Island resident Norman Goldsobel went viral in local news after becoming completely "devastated" by the loss of his gold wedding band. He had worn the ring every single day since June 1956. News outlets reported that he felt a piece of his own body and his upcoming burial wishes had been severed, prompting a massive regional hunt.The Marathon Heartbreak (2026): In another recent 2026 news story, runner Isabelle Launch finished the New York City Half Marathon only to realize her multi-generational family heirloom engagement ring had fallen out of her pocket [1.3.1). Her public distress, frantic retracing of miles in Central Park, and emotional appeals to the police and public highlighted how a triumphant life moment instantly turned into deep mourning.The "withholding affection" marital rifts: Online relationship columns and forums like Reddit’s r/Marriage frequently feature couples experiencing severe psychological crises over a lost ring. In one prominent viral case covered by lifestyle media, a wife's overwhelming guilt and grief over misplacing her ring caused her husband to shut down emotionally. The community backlash pointed out that the ring represents "a promise of love," and losing it triggers a grieving process identical to losing a loved one.]

American imperialism and Israeli Zionism can continue these one sided attacks on Iran with conventional weapons for the next twenty years .The people of Iran and the Islamic culture of Iran will never be conquered . And most real CHRISTIANS in this world are cheering for Iran in " Jew War III " not American imperialism together forever with Israeli Zionism in crimes against humanity . The Catholic Pope Leo XIV has publicly scolded the Neo-Nazi ZIONIST Jew thugs in the Trump administration : " You have blood on your hands ! " . But they continue with their Orwellian "TWO MINUTES HATE " speeches against Iran daily .
If the war on Iran continues much longer, the vast majority of real CHRISTIAN Americans ( not Christian Nationalists , not Christian Zionists ) will turn a very critical eye, point a very shaming finger, on the over-represented militant ZIONIST Jews in this country . 200 MILLION Christians vs. less than 1 percent militant ZIONIST Jews in " OUR democracy " .

[ "US military identifies 2 soldiers killed in Iranian attack on Jordan " ] The dying soldier's last thought was most certainly NOT : " Iran must not have a nuclear weapon " !
Almost certainly from working class CHRISTIAN backgrounds , these human sacrifices to the " Moloch God of War ", these now identified killed American soldiers, among the first ( of many ? ) killed in " Jew War III " in the Middle East, almost certainly did not have this last dying thought : " Iran must not have nuclear weapons ! ".
Considering his latest " deal " with bloody ally Saudi Arabia , American president Donald Trump is not serious ( with exception of Iran ) about " maniacs not having nuclear weapons " . And seriously when this bully , buffoon , bluffer , WASP front man for sinister ZIONIST Jews , LOOKS IN THE MIRROR ? Behold THE MANIAC !

How many so called Marxist " vanguard party " organizations, vociferously anti- fascist, have noticed how JEWISH looking is American based Neo-Nazism ? Consider the Neo-Nazi ZIONIST Jew regime in Washington , DC of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller and special guest star Benjamin Netanyahu ? In what was left of " OUR democracy " the only solid support for the war on Iran , on the people of Iran , on the Islamic culture of Iran, came from fanatical ZIONIST Jews.

Professional journalism died long before " OUR democracy " USA !
The arrogant mantra of the Neo-Nazi ZIONIST Jew regime in Washington , DC. , of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller and special guest star Benjamin Netanyahu , that declares" Axis of Evil " country Iran MUST NOT HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS , only resonates with militant ZIONIST Jews in the United States. Do they , and their ZIONIST Jew cheerleaders, see themselves as paragons of moral sanity ?
As a longtime independent democratic socialist, and a pre-Vatican II type Catholic , I do agree with President Trump that " maniacs should not possess nuclear weapons " !
Do not expect the mainstream news media to challenge this assumption daily implied in those White House Staff daily Orwellian TWO MINUTES HATE speeches . Professional journalism died long before " OUR democracy " USA !
GOOGLE AI search result " YES , a half dead tree can thrive !
i just observed a fairly large neighborhhod tree being half dead while the other half seems thriving . if a human being has dead limbs they must be amputated or they will poison the health body . is that neighborhood tree doomed ?No, the tree is not necessarily doomed. Unlike humans, trees have a unique biological process called compartmentalization, which allows them to isolate damaged areas and prevent rot or disease from spreading to the healthy parts.Why the Tree Might SurviveNatural Defense: Trees do not heal damaged tissue; instead, they build physical and chemical walls around wounds to lock out decay.Partial Function: One side of a tree can have completely dead roots or branches while the other side functions perfectly, provided the vascular system on the living side remains intact.Targeted Care: Removing the dead sections can eliminate safety hazards and stop certain pests or fungi from taking over.Common Causes for a "Half-Dead" TreeRoot Damage: Construction, soil compaction, or trenching on one side of the tree often kills the corresponding roots, causing that specific side of the canopy to die.Girdling Roots: Roots that wrap tightly around the base of the trunk choke off water and nutrient flow to one side of the tree.Fungal Wilt Diseases: Pathogens like Verticillium wilt attack the vascular system, frequently blocking water flow to just one section or side of the tree.Storm or Lightning Damage: A localized strike or severe wind rip can destroy limbs on one side while leaving the rest untouched.Action Steps to TakePrune Dead Wood: Cut away the dead branches to prevent them from falling and to eliminate entry points for wood-boring insects.Inspect the Trunk: Look at the base of the tree for peeling bark, fungal mushrooms, or oozing sap, which indicate deeper structural decay.Consult an Arborist: Have a professional evaluate whether the tree poses a safety hazard to nearby homes or power lines.If you are worried about the tree falling, I can help you find certified local arborists or the right city department to report it to. Would you like to check who owns the property it is on, or do you want tips on how to spot if it is a falling hazard?AI can make mistakes, so double-check responses
Is Iran Becoming Another 'Forever War'? (w/ John Mearsheimer) | The Chris Hedges Report [ What prevents " another Forever War " in the Middle East ?
What prevents " another Forever War " here is that the Neo-Nazi ZIONIST Jew regime in Washington , DC of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller, and special guest star Benjamin Netanyahu -THEIR " Greater Israel agenda resonates only with militant ZIONIST Jews in the United States. Most CHRISTIAN Americans are not Christian Nationalists or Christian Zionists foaming at the mouth for APOCALYPSE NOW and " Jew War III " in the Middle East extended to a NATO " rescue " mission for the warmonger embezzler V. Zelensky in Greater Israel Ukraine .
Wisdom from the " Tumultuous Sixties " : " what if THEY start a war and nobody shows up ? "
WE THE PEOPLE will not be saved by the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party led by odd couple ZIONIST Jews Chuck Schumer and phony socialist Bernie Sanders . We desperately need not VIOLENCE IN THE STREETS but the quick EMERGENCY formation of an American Labor Party - like the British Labor Party but less stuffy and compromised . So called MARXIST " vanguard party ' organizations, with their own hard core principles, can easily fit into an American Labor Party ( if they only learn how to talk to " the masses " without sounding like future soulless TRUE BELIEVER bureaucrats ) .

Ron— this video and the photos of the Feast were just great. You really captured the spirit of the event. The parade with the traditional band music sounded right out of a scene from the Godfather.
I could almost smell all the foods—the fried dough and the sausage and peppers!
The weather turned out to be pretty good after all— with no thick smoky yellow skies as we had on Wednesday where it felt as if we were on another planet. Like a Twilight Zone episode!!
I’m glad you got to enjoy the feast.
We will be attending Kim’s get-together on the 24th. But I hope to get together with you before then.
Talk soon,

Real public opinion is a factor in any planned ground war in Iraq . Most Americans are still CHRISTIAN , not Christian Nationalist , not Christian Zionist . They can easily see " Jew War III " coming in the Middle East . They can easily see the evil of the Neo-Nazi ZIONIST Jew regime in Washington , DC of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller and special guest star Benjamin Netanyahu , a world proclaimed ZIONIST Jew war criminal . The Woke Warrior Democratic Party, led by odd couple ZIONIST Jews Chuck Schumer and phony socialist Bernie Sanders -and their mainstream news media - will provide " critical support " for a ground war. Daily the ZIONIST Jew censorship blocks working class CHRISTIAN based anti-war views. Hard to believe THEIR mainstream news media can arouse toxic patriotic war fever with stale Wilsonian blather that was false more than a century ago . Could a ground troop invasion of Iran become the military equivalent of Hitler's defeat at Stalingrad in World War II ? A BIG TRUTH : In the 21st century American imperialism and Israeli Zionism are together forever in crimes against humanity.
Neil deGrasse Tyson Buries Ben Shapiro on Science and Religion (Brilliant
See the irony of this : New Atheism Cult New Hate group idol, egotistical . underemployed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson will use his deified LOGIC and REASON to argue against God and the Bible with right wing ZIONIST Jew Ben Shapiro . But he will not use this same LOGIC and REASON to challenge capitalism , American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism . Here the two are on common ground !
You can see that the New Atheism Cult New Hate group is a Culture War front for the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party now led by odd couple ZIONIST Jews Chuck Schumer and phony socialist Bernie Sanders .
There is nothing " poetic " about THE SCIENTIST as lackey for the capitalist ruling class.

White House actively discussing sending ground troops to Iran
Andre Damon@Andre__Damon
11 hours ago
[he White House has held meetings this week to discuss sending ground troops to Iran, according to a report published Wednesday in the Wall Street Journal. President Donald Trump “is leaning toward expanding U.S. military operations in Iran after days of briefings from top aides,” the Journal wrote, citing US officials, with the options including “sending ground forces to seize Iranian islands near the Strait of Hormuz.”
A ground invasion of Iran would mark the war’s most dangerous escalation to date. Four and a half months of war, beginning February 28, have left the Iranian government in place, Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium sealed underground and shipping through the strait nearly halted. Washington is turning toward ground forces because bombing has failed. ]

" To be sure , no individual or political party has a patent on socialism or the blessing of HISTORY "
6 years ago
I give your comment an UP vote because I realize that confirmed socialists -whatever their base of operations - have a lot of EXPLAINING to do . To be sure , the history of SOCIALISM as political movement right here in the United States has succumbed to collective amnesia.
In brief , I think " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders, for decades now, has more in common with the late Irving Howe, author of " World of Our Fathers ". In that book Howe explains the political evolution of numerous New York " radical " Jews.
In his youth Irving Howe was infatuated with Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky and thrilled - as were millions of working class people-with the drama of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.
That revolution was indeed betrayed as Trotsky said.
Nevertheless the democratic socialism as an ideal survived the nightmare Stalin era.
It also survived the nighmare McCarthyism era in the USA. It continues to defend those very ALL-AMERICAN principles of FREE SPEECH and FREE THOUGHT .
Bernie Sanders has nothing to apologize for - except perhaps endorsing " Corrupt Hillary " in the 2016 presidential election.
I would hope a once again "defeated " Bernie Sanders would advocate for an independent third party in the United States. WE THE PEOPLE need to institutionalize a THREE PARTY SYSTEM in the USA. The new party will resemble the British Labor Party in its CLASS base. Call it the American Labor Party. This has nothing in common with bloody , " revolutionary " chaos- unless the American plutocracy provokes it .
Who does not see that the present Democratic Party is as unstable as a U-235 nucleus ?
I too deplore the lack of civil debate in the United States. FREE SPEECH and FREE THOUGHT must always be respected simply because any group in power or craving power can be mistaken in their ideas and opinions.
To be sure , no individual or political party has a patent on SOCIALISM or the blessing of HISTORY . Belief in a Higher Power , in God , is the perfect anti-dote to fatal hubris.
Good luck to Bernie in Mass. on Super Tuesday !
" To be sure I don't think like these " liberal " Democrats that Trump is the root of all evil "
No insult intended. Thank you for your intelligent and articulate reply . Most informed socialists take the long view of history and the evolution of human civilization. " Socialism " is not a mechanical blueprint for a social order designed by Karl Marx, Plato, Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Mao , Castro or some obtuse Central Committee in Venezuela.
ANY " blueprint " for socialism is based on the inner contradictions of capitalism well documented since the 1848 " Communist Manifesto ".
Your view of socialism reminds me of the one nightly damned on " Red Eye " radio. I listen to these two guys Eric and Gary - not just insomnia - but because they are honest , decent , and intelligent , offering " critical support " of Donald Trump.
To be sure I don't think like these " liberal " Democrats that Trump is the root of all evil . For this democratic socialist President Trump is just a very representative plutocrat - certainly not Hitler.
The social order of humanity was never a " machine " which social engineers hoped would " work " . Modern " socialism is ridiculed as a metaphorical " perpetual motion machine ".
A functional " socialism " can only be based on the collective experience of ALL humanity.
I don't see how even American capitalism is prepared for future catastrophes for which the late Isaac Asimov said we have a CHOICE.
Think about another Great Plague like that of the 14th century. Rather than being a HELPING HAND a " libertarian " government might tell THE INDIVIDUAL to save himself.
The alienation of THE INDIVIDUAL is one of the tragedies of capitalism .
