Today’s Memes

 




Thoughts for the day

A warm and sunny day.

Yesterday I was busy with appointments. I am now set to get the port implanted to get my treatment to begin. It should go well now.

There are more troops deployed in LA than in Syria and Iraq combined. Frightening for sure.

Oops, someone in the Trump administration forgot to fill out the necessary forms for the 4000 Nat’l Guard troops to get paid and to get necessary credits for being called up. They are also sleeping on the floor because no accommodation was pre-ordered.

Sen. Padilla of CA was thrown to the floor and handcuffed at DHS Noem’s press conference. It is all recorded and the administration is trying to spin it but it isn’t working. This is not the America I want to live in.

Last night, Israel bombed Iran and today Iran is bombing Israel. This is very sad and all in the name of religion.

Historic Figures who never existed…

Confucius ©Denise Bossarte on Unsplash

Said to have been born during the Spring and Autumn period (770–481 BCE), Confucius is often deemed as China's most notable teacher and philosopher, credited for founding the social, moral, and ethical values detailed in Confucianism, which has been practiced by the Chinese for over two millennia. Though it's widely believed by scholars that he truly existed, there are sparse accounts of his life. 

Random Thoughts…

Bob Ross didn’t make a cent from his TV series the Joy of Painting. His income came from selling his paint products.

Yves Montand – Real Name: Ivo Levy

A group of Clams is called a Bed.

Armadillos almost always give birth to quadruplets.

The term Third World arose during the Cold War to define countries that remained non-aligned with either NATO or the Communist Bloc.

Carrots were cultivated to be orange as a tribute to William of Orange who led the Dutch to independence in the 17th century.
