Every year near the holidays, Tom Turkey counts down the days in hiding. He knows he’s being watched and is on the lookout.

The name PP comes from the legend of Lady Godiva's naked ride through the streets of Coventry, in order to persuade her husband to alleviate the harsh taxes on the town's poor. The story goes that the townsfolk agreed not to observe Godiva as she passed by, but that Peeping Tom broke that trust and spied on her. A "Peeping Tom, is a nickname for a curious prying fellow."

Who is spreading the cancer of hate that corrodes the American national fiber to destroy our Democratic system of government?

"Never may a man prone to believe the scandal 
be a despot or a popular leader! 
Under his guidance, democracy itself will be despotism." 
-Apollonius of Tyana

NIXON & TRUMP

Fifty years ago On This Date: GOP President Richard Nixon uttered the infamous words, "I am not a crook," Time proved him wrong.

These words were uttered in response to reporters' questions about the Watergate scandal. Fast forward another Republican can not deny that he is not a Nazi, racist, a fraud, a rapist..etc

As a former recruit and serving as a US government division chief GM/15-10 for the last real GOP President, my take is that Republicans have slowly destroyed the grand old party.

As is NYC's annual tradition, the 2023 iteration of Macy's Thanksgiving Parade will feature a star-studded cast of exciting performers.

The stretch along 6th Avenue between West 59th Street and West 38th Street is a great viewing location! But if you want a prime spot, try to arrive no later than 7 a.m. Along 6th Avenue between West 38th and West 34th Streets have extremely limited viewing and should be avoided. Watch it on TV 📺.

This very popular delicate track features a single guitar line with only Paul McCartney crooning out The Beatles lyrics is over the top.

Every so often, a few chirps from a bird can be heard as a nod to the song’s opening refrain blackbird singing in the dead of night. This image above is of two of the Little Rock Nine--pioneers of the civil rights movement and John Lennon's inspiration for Blackbird.

ADULTHOOD

We all grow up making life decisions with more successes and fewer failures resulting in lessons that hopefully will allow us to grow.

During the condition of being fully mature, we all walk through the crucial years between adolescence and adulthood. Some of us may choose to work or play, to be straight or gay, to embrace education, or reject it. We can be an optimist or a pessimist, to become a leader or a follower. However, no individual who is a fully grown adult should intentionally break their grandmother and mother’s heart. There is a difference between right and wrong!
