CALIFORNIA DREAMS

California was once home with my wife and kids, but when I got divorced, I turned over the deed to my ex-wife and two daughters.

Today, there are few places left where I can afford those outrageous real estate prices that have gone through the proverbial roof. 

Luckily, some places in Northern California are still high, but not like The Southland.

In a few months, American citizens have a solemn responsibility to register and cast their ballots for the one who deserves their vote.

Who promotes and lives by the principles of good citizenship. Who is a dependable, honest, and trustworthy professional accountable for his actions and results?

I certainly am proud of it, because sometimes you feel like a nut, and other times you're it. A nut job if you don't consume nuts or water.

ACADEMIC ACTIVISM

American Colleges and Universities say activism is welcomed and encouraged on their campuses. US Students reacted.

This is not to say scholars don't have to arrive on time, engage in the classroom, and complete their assignments.
Student activism has its place, but institutions for higher learning must prioritize academic excellence and intellectual diversity over politics.

Activists can create an echo chamber and limit the exchange of ideas, hindering the true purpose of higher education.

As the school year ends, many students will be only too happy to see math classes in their rearview mirrors.

It may seem to some of us non-mathematicians that geometry and trigonometry were created by the Greeks as a form of torture, so imagine our amazement when we heard two high school seniors had proved a mathematical puzzle that was thought to be impossible for 2,000 years.

As an American tourist Paul Cole was visiting London in 1969, he’d grown tired of visiting museums and went to Abbey Road.

He took a walk on the wild seat while waiting for his wife and by coincidence ended up in a photo seen around the world.

Mr. Cole can be seen in the photograph, taken by Iain Macmillan, wearing a brown jacket and glasses with his hands on his hips looking over toward the Fab Four. 

“I just happened to look up, and I saw those guys walking across the street like a line of ducks,” Cole called them. 

POTUS DENIES WEAPONS?

The President of The United States has reportedly suspended the delivery of weapons to Israel, according to Axios news reports. 

Israel claims the Biden administration held back a massive ammunition shipment to Israel last week - and this was partly the reason why Netanyahu hasn’t invaded Rafah.

Israel's Haaretz reported that Netanyahu hoped Hamas would reject the deal. Now Netanyahu is trying to break off the negotiations, won't accept a ceasefire and wants to invade the refugee camp in Rafah.
