Ah sweet little kitties. I’ll bet they feel better.
President Trump has a new name for the criminal.
Pinocchio Joe lol.
I was sort of laying back and planned on letting you take the honors. Or, anyone else, or whatever. But, there you are. I sort of backed into it this time. Your turn next.
Pinocchio joe, that’s perfect and it even has a ring to it.
Had to take mommy cat back to the vet. Apparently something had bitten her back and she had an abscess. Poor thing, it’s bad enough giving birth in the forest. I’m glad she and the babies are out of there.
so cute!

In 1923, when Yul Brynner was just three, his father had an affair with an actress at Moscow Art Theatre and then abandoned his family. Perhaps the emotional scars remained and made him into this brooding and intensely private person. After her husband left her, his mother, Marousia, took her two children to Harbin, China where they attended a YMCA school.
Circa 1932, sensing the rising tensions between Japan and China, Marousia moved her family to Paris to avoid the impending war. Brynner only wanted to be in the performing arts. He dropped out of school and worked as a trapeze artist in a famous circus.
During his 5th year in the circus, Brynner suffered a back injury, ending his career. Meanwhile, he played guitar, primarily Gypsy songs, at Russian nightclubs in Paris. In 1938, Marousia was diagnosed with leukaemia and the family briefly moved back to Harbin, China.
In 1940, Brynner and his mother emigrated to the US joining his sister. Working as a French-speaking radio commentator for the US Office of War Information, he broadcasted into German-occupied France while studying under the tutelage of Russian-American actor, Michael Chekhov.
In 1941, Brynner performed his first Broadway show in ‘Twelfth Night’. His next play, ‘Lute Song’ with Mary Martin only won him mild acclaim but his friendship with Martin would later bring him the biggest acting role in his career.
In 1944, he married the first of four wives and began his career as a film and television director at CBS. His directing debut was a children’s puppet show and then established himself, successful directing films as ‘Studio One in Hollywood’ (1948).
In 1950, Martin encouraged Brynner to audition for ‘The King and I’. Initially reluctant to return to the stage, he was fascinated with the character of King Mongkut and joined the original Broadway production in 1951. Brynner was asked to shave his head and since then, he kept his head shaved becoming his most notable trademark.
Yul Brynner was sensational as King Mongkut, winning two Tony Awards. He reprised the role over 4000 times before the 1956 film and won an Academy Award for Best Actor. In his acceptance speech, he famously said:
“I hope this is not a mistake, because I won’t give it back for anything in the world. Thank you very much.”
For the next two decades of his career, Brynner starred in over 40 films including ‘Solomon and Sheba’ , (replacing Tyrone Power) (1959) and ‘The Magnificent Seven’ (1960). Due to his exotic good looks, he was typically cast in strong leading roles such as kings, an Egyptian Pharaoh and a Western gunslinger.
Brynner was also an accomplished photographer, author of 2 books and a guitarist.
Yul Brynner was passionate about refugee issues which arose from his interest in collecting United Nations Refugee stamps. This led to him taking up the post as Special Consultant on Refugees for the UNHCR. His fame brought awareness to the sufferings I around the world from Asia to the Middle East.
Brynner began smoking at the age of 12 and chain smoked until 1971. In 1983, he was suffering from inoperable lung cancer and given three months to live. He ended the 4,625th show of The King and I in June, 1985 and died a few months later.
Brynner recorded prior to his death an anti-smoking campaign and
poignantly said:
“Now that I’m gone, I tell you: Don’t smoke, whatever you do, just don’t smoke. If I could take back that smoking, we wouldn’t be talking about any cancer. I’m convinced of that.”
The Kristi Noem one is pretty funny.

Just had 2 black female democrats come by our Republican booth, who are voting for Trump.
When I asked them why they are voting for Trump,
the grandmother said, “Biden hasn’t done s***.”
+2 for Trump in Pennsylvania
That’s okay!
I was out when all that was going down.
Congrats!!
There’s always next time!
*evil grin*
Biden has done it again!
He has hired cross-dressing anti police, anti Ice idiot for

Someday, likely soon, when Joe Biden dies from his dementia, nobody will have anything nice to say about him at his funeral.
The man is going to go down in history as the worst curse ever placed upon our country and the name Biden will become synonymous with Mao, Stalin, and Hitler.
When I look at this man, I see nothing but evil.
I am enraged by the stories of innocent American children being raped by his illegals and I am enraged at what our country has become as a result of this walking corpse.
He can’t be placed into hospice soon enough.

Trump said this today around 4:20 pm at today’s rally in Chesapeake, VA:
“I want the enemies to know that—because we have a five-month transition period, and I want the enemies to know—don’t play around with us during this five month period! Don’t play around!”
Five month transition period?
What and when is that?
Military takeover?

What would happen if we were attacked tomorrow and millions of Americans died?
Would the Democrats say “bad days happen, but it’s ok”?
Seems like they don’t care about the fact that all of our enemies saw that debate last night, and now know they could kill us all and get away with it.
This isn’t hyperbole either.
Be on high alert these next 7 months.
We are going to be attacked.
