I hope that the Democrats in our Class are as concerned about some of the direction their party is going, is not good for America!  When some people embrace the title "Socialist" they are minimizing or more concerning, they are slowly exposing what they really are.  Communist!!  They aren't really in to helping the masses, they are are in to helping themselves.  They hate the rich because they envy the rich.  Did Mandami continue to live where he lived before he became Mayor of New York?  No, he moved into Gracie Mansion.  Yes, I know he needed to move into a more secure environment but he could have moved into much lower cost housing and moved some poor people into Gracie Mansion.  Read the book, "Elon Musk".  The Democratic "Socialist" of America hate him.  Elon Musk is the ultimate example of the American Dream.  He came to America, from South Africa with almost no money but knowing that he could build a life with hard work.  Some Liberals will say, "Oh yeah, but he's white.  What an insult to African Americans!!  There are thousands of African Americans who are living and thriving in the American Dream.  I would have voted for JFK, I would have voted for Bobby Kennedy, but way back when I was young I recognized the Democratic Party was moving in a strange direction.  Lyndon Johnson wasn't "Left" enough for them.  Americans had a choice, Richard Nixon or Hubert Humphrey.  Americans chose Nixon.  I pinched my nose and voted for Nixon because he was the least of evils.  I had marginal choices until Reagan.  Although I will stand with Trump although he's abusive.(If I had gone through the F. Bull he did, I would not be happy).  Trump "LOVES" America!!!!!!  Reagan could gain consensus with friendly manipulation.  When Reagan was President he would sit down with Tip O'Neal a have a drink and work things out.  Tip O'Neal was a Left Wing Boston Liberal.  I'm afraid that we might not be able to get to that point.  On our 250th Anniversary of declaring Our Independence from the British Empire I am open to to Sane discussion of our future.  Remember, it was "AFTER" our Declaration that most of the blood was spilled to win our freedom.  It's amazing and comforting to me to watch the World come to Our Country and embrace what we have!!  God Bless America!!!!!  Sorry this was so long--but!!

Brad, does Michael's phone end in 9696?

Mike Wetzel  I have missed your comments and opinions in here. I took a Course at USC School of Medicine back in the Dark Ages, and our Professor was the Head of the Orthopedic Injuries Dept. which covered Back, Neck, Shoulders, Hands, Knees, Hip Joints, and gave us an overview of what procedures were available. The Japanese Surgeons seemed to be at the Head of the Line about current Treatment. I hope you are back in your feet in no time, and out chasing the Coues Deer down Tucson way.

  Happy Birthday Kathy, enjoy this month of June I turn the big 80 on this Sunday (28th). My nextdoor neighbor is taking me to the Stockyards for my favorite super thick Pork Chop with Apple slices. But Stockyards is really known for their Strawberry Shortcake. A great way to start another trip around the Sun (got it to 110F today).

Brad Musil

YES, Lester... you have it correct.

Lester Cox

Bill Randall, Happy 80th Birthday! Here’s to celebrating a life well lived and an exciting year ahead. Wishing you health, happiness, and many more birthdays to come!

Patty Meyers (Anderson)

Happy Birthday, Bill...   🎉 🎂 🥳 🎁 🎈 🎊

DeWitt Bacon

I see that many of you are already slipping into the age of the octogenarians. I'm not sure what the word is for the 90s, but I do know that at 100 years we will be centurians. Patty. Please start planning for that reunion.

Bill RIHS

Happy birthday Kathy and Bill🎂👍

Jim Coats

Bill Randall.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!  You're old enough to be my older brother.  Hope you're having a good one!!

Frank Wiley

Happy Birthday Bill Randall!!

Jim Coats

I did speak with Mike Wetzel yesterday.  He's hangin' tough.  I'm sure he would love to hear from any of you via phone.  I don't think he has access to email, but I also sent him an email just in case.

If you do connect, maybe let us know.

Frank Wiley

First of all--I want to wish all of you a happy Independence Day!!!  It amazes me that the Founders fought like "Cats and Dogs" over the "Declaration of Independence" wording and the final document was a big compromise.  Do we have problems?  Yes!  Will we always have problems? Yes!  It doesn't matter if you are a Government, a Business, a School, or even a Church or Synogog, or even a family, there are problems.  In a Business Meeting one time an associate said, "We have alot of problems right now."  A Senior Officer in the Company replied, "That's why we hired you--to solve them!"  Our political leaders need to find consensus.  Our separation is so Deep, I worry about our direction.  We have been through worse times.  The Civil War, The Depression, the World Wars.  We've even had a time or times where people came out and declared themselves Communists.  Not trying to disguise themselves as Socialists.  I think we are going to be ok.  God Bless America and all of you!!

Bill RIHS

Well said Frank!👏 God bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏👏

Lester Cox

Spot on Frank, as we celebrate America’s birthday, we must remember that freedom was earned through courage, sacrifice, and an unwavering belief in a better future. May we always be grateful for those who served and I pray all true Americans will continue to strive to make our nation worthy of their sacrifice. Time to wake up America! Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸<>>

Michael Kelly

May you all have a Happy Independence Day, May the God who our Founders Honored with the Recognition of our Inalienable Rights given us by Him, continue to be an Abiding Influence over The Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE INCLUDING THOSE ACTIVELY DEFENDING THIS COUNTRY NOW.

Jim Coats

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

Some strong words from our friends on this site.  I'm with you!  

AMERICA FIRST!

ONE FLAG.  THE STARS AND STRIPES.

ONE LOYALTY...TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

ONE LANGUAGE.  ENGLISH!

The foregoing borrowed from a speech by Teddy Roosevelt over 110 years ago regarding assimilation.

Bill RIHS

Right on Les! Great speech by Trump tonight!👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Patty Meyers (Anderson)

Happy 4th everyone!  🇺🇸  🧨  I'll be home tomorrow..  🙃

We need a "PATTON Weather Prayer" so WE can pull off the 250 Celebration. Anyone get the reference?

Frank Wiley

Yes, from the Movie.  He called for the Chaplain and when the Chaplain got there Patton told him he needed a good prayer for good weather.  The Chaplain said he wasn't sure God would want a prayer to have good weather to kill people.  Patton assured the Chaplain that because of his(Pattons) close relationship with God that it would be OK.

This is from the Kim Komando newsletter I read everyday and sometimes with total amazement. Technology advancements continue to be astounding. Anyone heard of this new technology coming in 2027?

DeWitt Bacon

Where I live in Arkansas, we are allowed to have fireworks on the Fourth of July. When we put on a show, we go all out. We recorded part of it and posted it on Facebook. I'd like to post it here, but I'm not sure how.  

Michael Kelly

DeWitt  I think if you go to Google and ask it "How do I post my own Videos on Facebook" it will give you detailed Instructions, and may even tell you how to make money off the Viewers.

So now, after watching SOCCER (World Cup)  I firmly believe that if a player goes down in agony but then is playing soon after, they should  immediately be tazed!  American Football would never be a sport if there was such Hollywood!!
