Just want to add that my youngest demanded, demanded, we read very complex (scientific) materials to him from his very youngest years. He would cry until you did, and then listen intently to every word. He didn’t ask the meaning of the words when very small. But he wanted to HEAR those words and I believe all children do. And he had zero interest in reading until much later. He was so busy early on with his own projects, own thoughts, studying animals, music, and drawing – looked like a future ethologist.
All of that experience is within and he has gone on to other pursuits. His intellect is off the charts.
I believe we opened up those windows by simply doing what he asked when he asked.

(report says):
–Some members of Jared Kushner’s coronavirus task force believed the pandemic would affect Democratic areas worse and may have adjusted accordingly, Vanity Fair reported.
–In March and early April, Kushner gathered a team to devise a nationwide coronavirus testing plan. A public-health expert in regular contact with the team told the magazine that “the political folks” thought a nationwide response was a bad political move.
–At the time, outbreaks were worst in Democratic-voting states and cities.
The source suggested that some close to Kushner thought it was best to hold back and blame governors.
–(The White House has refuted this source’s account, saying it is “completely incorrect.”)
–Kushner’s plan was indeed dropped in favor of a mainly state-by-state response.
–Since then, cases have surged in states on both sides of the political divide.”

We all have our favorite, but it’s HIS CHOICE, no one else’s!! Look at it this way, whoever he chooses will be a million times better than Mike Pence . That’s all you need.
I don’t want to hear any bitching and moaning after Joe Biden picks his VP. Many people are going to be disappointed, no matter who he picks. But this should be a moment for Democrats to unite. So practice grace in congratulating the pick now. I’m serious.
That said, this may be a disturbing preview of things to come. Prepare for the slights, sneers and snide remarks about whomever the nominee turns out to be. Get ready to see her background and accomplishments diminished. The campaign will need to take this on directly and show they have zero tolerance for the double standard women have had to put up with for decades.
I can’t express how much that I agree with George Takei. Our number one goal is to defeat Donald Trump, no matter who Biden chooses for VP. I mute all discussions on tv concerning this subject.
It’s too much now….150,000 Americans dead….schools can’t open…citizens facing evictions…police still killing Black peope……these are just some of the issues facing America…i am so ready for Joe Biden to pick his VP…I am so ready for our team to address these issues…and move onnnn

Houstonian Darrell James, a corporate recruiter who ate Tuesday at The Breakfast Klub, said he believed racism was behind the defacings.
“Should we fix it? Absolutely,” said James, of James & Jordan, the Houston-based management search and consulting firm. “But my thought is it’s just a sign, unfortunately, that racism has not left, and that it will always be here. The only way you can fight racism is with diligent persistence.”
“I don’t care what you think,” he said. “We’re going to continue to push on and move on. We ain’t going nowhere.”
Trump twice pushed back the deadline to release his 2019 financial disclosures. Then dropped them with no warning late on Friday. Then said he was banning TikTok and pulled everyone's attention away. We're still paying attention. See his finances here: https://t.co/fZ8zKt3Ajw

–In March and early April, Kushner gathered a team to devise a nationwide coronavirus testing plan. A public-health expert in regular contact with the team told the magazine that “the political folks” thought a nationwide response was a bad political move.
–At the time, outbreaks were worst in Democratic-voting states and cities.
The source suggested that some close to Kushner thought it was best to hold back and blame governors.
–(The White House has refuted this source’s account, saying it is “completely incorrect.”)
–Kushner’s plan was indeed dropped in favor of a mainly state-by-state response.
–Since then, cases have surged in states on both sides of the political divide.”

We all have our favorite, but it’s HIS CHOICE, no one else’s!! Look at it this way, whoever he chooses will be a million times better than Mike Pence . That’s all you need.

That said, this may be a disturbing preview of things to come. Prepare for the slights, sneers and snide remarks about whomever the nominee turns out to be. Get ready to see her background and accomplishments diminished. The campaign will need to take this on directly and show they have zero tolerance for the double standard women have had to put up with for decades.
Agreed
I can’t express how much that I agree with George Takei. Our number one goal is to defeat Donald Trump, no matter who Biden chooses for VP. I mute all discussions on tv concerning this subject.
It’s too much now….150,000 Americans dead….schools can’t open…citizens facing evictions…police still killing Black peope……these are just some of the issues facing America…i am so ready for Joe Biden to pick his VP…I am so ready for our team to address these issues…and move onnnn
I love George! Grow up & vote! Sayin’ w/ luv & universe will one day respond! 💫
Perfect reply, Congressman Swallwell. That said, it fell on deaf ears
Good Saturday Afternoon, TODville Community.

I remember this response when vandals defaced our forever president’s wall mural in Texas and it’s just as fitting here: ” THERE IS AN ENDLESS SUPPLY OF PAINT!!”

Restaurateur: Obama mural is here to stay

Houstonian Darrell James, a corporate recruiter who ate Tuesday at The Breakfast Klub, said he believed racism was behind the defacings.
“Should we fix it? Absolutely,” said James, of James & Jordan, the Houston-based management search and consulting firm. “But my thought is it’s just a sign, unfortunately, that racism has not left, and that it will always be here. The only way you can fight racism is with diligent persistence.”
“I don’t care what you think,” he said. “We’re going to continue to push on and move on. We ain’t going nowhere.”
Yes! Thank you for that!
That’s Right….There is an ENDLESS supply of Paint
How on this Earth did I miss this??😂😂😂
The report is that ONLY 90 people showed up…in FL.
Ho\w many people does Air Force One hold…???
Wow, his grand entrance on AF1 was not so grand after all.

It’s the least we could do. Just appreciate. ☺️
Right?
LOL!!

Any debate about whether these folks are fascists should be over now.

Regret being a tape on constant replay but – No War has ever been Won by underestimating the enemy let alone refusing to realize you’re actually at War!!!

Imitation of Life; Brian’s Song
Yes! Yes!
Alright Ben Crump!
Christine and Luke Skywalker for the win! 🙌🏾
Only one meaningful question – will enough folk awaken to the actual threat before 3 Nov to ‘turn the tide’ of the WAR?
Who needs Stealth Bombers & Submarines & …… when you can (and have) successfully deployed insurgents in five thousand dollar designer suits to destroy your #1 Enemy.
Definitely not Putin as he has proven beyond any doubt.
Trump is just a tool.
He could drop dead and it would not interrupt Putin’s onslaught given that VP Pence was strategically inserted onto Trump’s ‘ticket’ by one of Putin’s exceptionally talented foot soldiers – Paul Manafort.
If you wonder why Paul hasn’t ‘spilled his guts’ … well, let’s put it as gently as possible …. he’d be worm food and so would his family.
Goodnight TOD.
Good Morning Family! This is for you! 😃
Space Dads are coming home! 🤓🤓

Today is James Baldwin’s birthday.
BOOM!
I had such a crush on this man!
you gotta be colonial kidding’ me!! sorry. heh.
I did. I was young and he was quirky, cute, and a movie star with a British accent. Him, Richard Harris, and Richard Burton. 🤷🏽♀️
I see, get you. The 1960s had to be an interesting time. Working class actors like Oliver Reed, Albert Finney, Michael Caine, Alan Bates became fashionable and wiped that plum in the mouth stuff away. Suddenly you could have a working class accent and play a more authentic Shakespeare. But seems like you had to be that rake, sexist, drunken bad boy to be in the top boys’ club.
Loved Oliver Reed, Albert Finney and Michael Caine. Can’t say I was aware of Alan Bates back in the day. I’ll have check out some of his work.
Dudette,
thinking you’ll love ‘Far From The Madding Crowd” (1968).
With Julie Christie (from Dr. Zhivago), Alan Bates, Terence Stamp, Peter Finch,
(…suggest skip any remakes)
Heard of the book, but never read it. I just watched the trailer. I just kept thinking “Wow! How the HELL did I miss this?” I will definitely see it. Thanks for the tip!
Btw, I always thought Terence Stamp was smoking hot, but I don’t recall seeing him when he was this young. Dayum he’s gorgeous! Yes, I can already tell he’s the bad boy and probably reprehensible in this story. This film must be where he established that as his trademark. 😊
Thomas Hardy one of my faves. Julie Christie could never be a south UK country farm girl, but she is so loved. Please don’t miss her in ‘Dr. Zhivago’.
Now Dr. Zhivago I’ve seen something like 10 times! 👍🏾
😱😱😱
Not so much nuts as crooked.
