T + HANKS = THANKS

Submitted by ub on

Tom Hanks took on his American dad character to give our country a much-needed pep talk on Saturday Night Live.

T. Hanks surprised US with a live SNL call to straighten up and fly right, and some could not contain their excitement.

Grievanceburg Address?

Submitted by ub on

The Donald went to Gettysburg PA and delivered a speech that was less like Lincoln's address and more like the whining and complaints we have all heard all too often. A Gettysburg Kvetch or Grievanceburg Address.

@realDonaldTrump's Contract with the American Voter was delivered in hollowed ground in Pennsylvania#Gettysburg #DrainTheSwamp.

Benjamin Franklin

Submitted by ub on

With all the hype about Alexander Hamilton recently, we must remember all USA founders.
One such individual was Ben Franklin. His visage graces the 100 dollar bill and he was known all over the world, so go figure.

Born in Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin helped to draft the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, he also negotiated the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which ended the Revolutionary War. He was the first postmaster general and so much more.

NSA Spies

The NSA is part of the Defense Department and an Intelligence Community Agency. According to agency officials, US leaders, policymakers, warfighters, law enforcement agencies and our Intelligence Community partners face some of the gravest national security challenges ever.

Internet service attacks coming in waves. Denial of service attacks across #America and a spy busted stealing from the National Security Agency. What the hell is going on?

Baseball Magic

As the son of a lifetime Cleveland Indians baseball fanatic who was named after one their most notable pitchers "Rapid Robert Feller", I'm obviously rooting for my late, great dad AJ Soto II and Robert's team. Bob Feller, The Greatest Cleveland Indian, dies at age 92. http://www.cleveland.com/tribe/index.ssf/2010/12/the_greatest_cleveland_...
But since Cleveland has already won the American league championship, we are assured of competing for the best team in America.

HUMOR: AN OLD AMERICAN TRADITION

Submitted by ub on

America loves to make fun of its politicians. And it is even more to our liking when the politicians make fun of each other. After a bruising, no holds barred campaign, Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump gave America something to laugh about.

It's an old tradition: the annual Al Smith dinner to raise money for Catholic charities at the Waldorf. And, like many other candidates in past elections, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump exchanged barbs before an audience of wealthy New Yorkers.

Founding Mothers

With all the recent publicity surrounding Alexander Hamilton, let US not forget about all our founding parents, who may be Turning in their graves after some grievous comments made during and after the last debate.

There are unfortunately more popular founding fathers than founding mothers, but that may soon change. CITY IMAGES enjoyed seeing @HillaryClinton wearing Suffragette White on the final #debatenight of 2016.
