most people get their ideas about Opera from Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes cartoons from the 1940’s and early ‘50s
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and thank goodness they were exposed to even that!

well read, well-rounded and well-grounded people should be aware of many of the true marvels of the past. If they were presented with many snippets from operas, they might very well know the medley and admit they enjoyed it.

Trump played such eclectic choices at his rallies that people grew to recognize and admire many forms.

Another reason to love the genius POTUS.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham asked the president his general reaction to how Biden handled his press conference. Ingraham said he “read quite a bit from reference notes,” adding “it was unusual, to say the least.”

“Well, there were strange questions and they were asked in a very interesting way,” Trump responded. “It was like soft balls. Like you were throwing soft balls up. And it’s just a different world.”

“Nobody’s seen anything like it,” Trump said. “You know it. You know it better than anybody. You cover it so well. It’s very sad to watch, actually.”

This is a very comprehensive thread talking about opera and Looney Tunes. I learned a lot.

THREAD: Lots of us learned classical music from watching old cartoons, so I’m going to identify the pieces that frequently popped up.

One of the most recognizable is Franz Liszt’s “Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2,” performed by those great piano virtuosos Bugs Bunny and Tom & Jerry. pic.twitter.com/SmyKbMpw3e— Vincent Alexander (@NonsenseIsland) March 1, 2021

A leftist “dark money” group tied to liberal billionaire globalist George Soros has led the push to have Senate Democrats eliminate the filibuster, according to a new report.

The Washington Free Beacon reported that the radical group Fix Our Senate “is steering a coalition of 60 progressive groups to pressure moderate Democrats to eliminate the filibuster, which requires a 60-vote supermajority to advance legislation.”

Fix Our Senate has existed as a “project” of the leftist “Sixteen Thirty Fund, a nonprofit incubator managed by the D.C.-based consulting firm Arabella Advisors.” Soros’s Open Society Policy Center (OSPC) gave the Sixteen Thirty Fund $16,568,483 between 2016 and 2019 alone.
