TRUMP: One, Final, Egregious Trait.

Had enough of Donald Trump? Well, I'll end with another egregious trait, his disdain for what should be good and supported. For example, he kept making fun of global climate warming and began the process of withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. But those diplomats in the UN are not total idiots. The departure process insured for a one year delay so that about the time the U.S. officially was to have departed, Trump lost to Biden. Of course, President Joe Biden scuttled the exodus, and rescued America, and the World.

He is xenophobic and particularly despised NATO and the UN. For example:

Withdrew the U.S. from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in October of 2017. Had something to do with bias of the UN against Israel. Well, whatever, it was, President Joe Biden worked it out, for we are rejoining UNESCO next month.

Pulled out of the UN Human Rights Council, the first nation to ever do so, and became among only four nations not participating in its proceedings. We returned after Biden became president after a 3-year absence.
The U.S. withdrew from negotiations on the Global Compact for Migration. Why? Trump deemed child immigration factors incompatible to his beliefs. Of course, Biden reversed this position.
Do you have a sense that Trump has no "heart?"

About that lack of heart, Trump tried to eliminate the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), Institute of Museum and Library Services, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides funding for PBS and National Public Radio.

The NEA gets 0.004% of the U.S. budget.
An Ipsos Public Affairs survey showed that by a 2-1 ratio, Americans supported DOUBLING the NEA budget.
Congress saved the NEA during Trump's reign, and Biden again increased it's annual budget.

Of course we know that he never bothered to greet the Bidens to the White House, but did you know that by not showing up at Biden's Inauguration, he was the first previous president in 152 years not to do so?
Actually, Trump does have a heart, which is defective. This was not the reason why he regularly got a deferment from the Vietnam War. Reportedly, he has something called heel spurs.

Finally, Trump has a theory that exercise is bad for you. More?

Sleeps 4 hours/night.
Got divorced from his second wife Marla because she supposedly had an affair with a bodyguard.
He is a germaphobe and avoids handshakes.
Is overweight, and the third heaviest president.
Won a Razzie as Worst Supporting Actor. Actually, he now has three Razzies.
Has been sued more than 3000 times.
More than 20 women has accused Donald Trump of sexual misconduct.
Has short fingers.
Has nicknames: Tiny Hands, King of Debt, Orange Julius, World's Greatest Troll and Godzilla with Less Foreign Policy Experience.
You can still buy Donald Trump Toilet Paper on Amazon.
Was the first billionaire president.
Has been a Democrat, Independent, and now runs the Republican Party.
Is the only president with no military or political experience.
Starts his workday at around 11AM.
There are 120 of these facts to drive you nuts.

Can't end the week with Donald Trump. Heard that the Beatles will release a final song? Watch this. Even John Lennon and George Harrison are involved...using Artificial Intelligence. Legality? Spotify had the AI music of Drake and The Weeknd for 600,000 streams until it yanked it off their platform.

HONOLULU TO SEATTLE

The story of the day is Hurricane Milton, now a Category 4 at 145 MPH, with a track that has moved further south and the eye projected to make landfall just south of Sarasota. Good news for Tampa, which is 73 miles north. Milton will crash into Florida as a Category 4, and is huge, so a lot of problems can still be expected in Tampa Bay with storm surge. If the eye had crossed into the state just north of Tampa, the damage would have been catastrophic. Milton is a fast-moving storm, currently at 17 MPH, so as bad as the rainfall will be over Florida, again, a blessing. The eye will make landfall around 10PM EDT today, and will move into the Atlantic Ocean north of Palm Bay Thursday morning. My first trip to Seattle was in June of 1962 just after I graduated from Stanford University. Caught a bus. Was called the Century 21 Exposition . Also the Seattle World's Fair. 10 million joined me on a six-month run. My first. These a...

WHY YOU SHOULD CONVERT TO A JAPANESE HIGH TECH TOILET

Did you know that Oktoberfest in Germany is mostly in September? The very first day of Oktoberfest 2021 was supposed to be today, September 18, extending into October 3. Well, as in 2020, Oktoberfest was cancelled. So why is it called by that month when it is held mostly in September? The first celebration in 1810 was in October. Did you also know that Oktoberfest is held only in Munich? These days seven million drink more than a liter ( about three typical cans ) of beer each, costing around $11. Except for my wife and I when we followed the crowd to board the S-Bahn to the fairgrounds near Old Town. It was drizzling a bit. We bought a large pretzel outside of a typical barn where beer is served. We did not know that you needed to get this inside the hall. So no one came to serve us beer. After a while we decided to have lunch, and the restaurant we settled on only served wine. Thus, we might have been the ...

THE FIRST 84 YEARS OF MY LIFE

The first half of my life was spent preparing myself for my final 42 years. This was a mostly trying and stressful period involving a less than ideal youth, then struggles to get through school, my first few jobs and accompanying life, ending two months later on a Sunday with Part 15E , so it was a spiritual conclusion to my final transition. I never did count the number of actual postings, but I suspect it was around 25 parts. The ending had to do with golf, the disappearance and re-appearance of an 8-iron cover. That was the final clue to whether the beyond after death would be eternal gloom or Heaven. Today, I provide only one transition, but hint about a final one, for this, after all, is Sunday. I'm 84 years old, so let me summarize what happened during the first phase, from 0-42, and follow with the years 42-84. As this is 2024, that key transition year was 1982. I can't seem to find this photo, but as a one-year old baby, I was fat....
