Oeangate, a deep sea tourist cruise which offers a chance to descend
to see the Titanic, resting on the ocean floor at 13,000 feet below the
surface, has lost contact with one of its submersibles with 3 tourists aboard
with not a lot of easy answers on how to rescue the crew and passengers.
YouTube must have amnesia when it comes to censoring “false information” on
COVID-19 as many of the statements concerning the origin of the virus, the
protection from infection, or the effectiveness of natural immunity for example
were blocked and later believed to be correct or a least credible as an
interview with Robert Kennedy, Jr., who reminds us of Gene McCarthy campaigning
against LBJ, on vaccine effectiveness was censored but fortunately still
available on the new beacon shining on the First Amendment—Elon Musk and
Twitter. President Biden landed at Moffett Field today to talk about climate
change but really to shake down the billionaire entrepreneurs and venture
capitalists in Silicon Valley for campaign contributions (one of whom is Reid
Hoffman, founder of Linkin, who visited Epstein’s pedophile paradise island and
supposedly was planning more trips. Ron De Santis was campaigning in Nevada and
made a stop at the VFW Post 921 to ape a bartender serving libations on the house
to bring he house down with laughter vowing he would serve any drink wanted
other than a Bud Light. Feces City is looking more and more like a sinking ship
but instead of rats leaving we are seeing corporations closing their flagship
stores or moving their corporate headquarters as AT&T is closing its
flagship store located at 1 Powell Street in the Union Square area. Democrat Virgin Islands Delegate Stacey
Plaskett appearing on MSNBC unleashed a Freudian slip which no matter how
quickly corrected herself after saying “Trump should be shot” reveals how much
the left hates and fears Trump and will go to any lengths legal or illegal to
stop him in his reelection quest. The dementia examples keep coming more and
more each day from the idiocy or ending a speech with “God Save the Queen” who
had died months ago to this latest example hot of the press from his fund
raising shake down in Silicon Valley at
the Lucy Evans Baylands Nature Interpretive Center and Preserve in Palo Alto,
California alongside Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom who must have been cringing to claim that under his administration “…
by 2020, we will have conserved 30% of all the lands and waters the United
States has jurisdiction over and simultaneously reduce emissions to blunt
climate impact.(either totally ignorant of the fact he was been in office since
January 20, 2021 or acknowledging that the Deep State had infiltrated the Trump
Administration and was hard at work in promoting Biden’s agenda. In the College
World Series Game between Stanford and Tennessee, Stanford jumped out an early
4-0 lead only to have their ace Quinten Matthews get shelled for 4 runs to tie
the game in the 5th with their bats then mostly silent due to the
Tennessee bull pen as the Vols scored 2 more runs to win the game.

June 19
Historical Events In Rhyme
1. On this day in 2012, Julian
Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks/Entered the Ecuadorian Embassy in London to
from U.S. prosecution from leaking classified documents seek/Asylum granted until
April 11, 2019 when he and Ecuador were in a disagreeing snit fit/Soon London police
were called to him to send to prison while the U.S. tried to him extradition
submit/The U.S. tried to extradite him and failed/ But since we appealed he had
to remain in jail/On December 10, 2021 the High Court approved his extradition
to which the Home Secretary consented/Assange running out of bullets
appealed and lost on June 6, 2023,
moving him closer to the date when to the U.S. to face the long arm of its
justice be sent.
2. On
this day in 1978, that notable cat Garfield who proved cats rule and dogs
drool/Was first published with Jim Davis’ comic skills and artistic drawing
tools/Like the Road Runner who always outsmarted Willey Coyote/Garfield always could
run circles around the hapless canine Odie/Syndicated in over 2500 newspapers
and journals to help readers in a humorous mode start their day/Even in a world
of computer animation, talent like that of Jim Davis is something we hope never
goes away.
3. On June 19, 1964, after Senator Byrd had
entered into an 800 page speech against the 1964 Civil Rights Act on June 9, 1994/On the morning of June 10 for
a cloture motion he yielded the Senate Floor/For the first time in its history
a cloture motion on Civil Rights was then passed/For a 100 hours of debate on
the bill to then last/It was Everett Dirksen’s finest hour and pinnacle of
success/the bill then passed with a vote to 73-27 so the push to integrate and
end discrimination would no longer be subject to Jim Crow hindrance and arrest.
4.
On this day in 1910 at the urgings of Sonora Smart Dodd/The church
elders and city fathers were convinced we needed a day to the efforts of fathers
laud/ A parade down the streets of Spokane to mark the day/Inspired by memories
of her mother who died too early and would not fade
away.
5. On this day in 1862 Congress banned
slavery in all existing and future territories of the United States/
President Lincoln signed the bill into
law with very little wait/While the Civil War was being fought by the North to
the Union preserve/
The need to end
slavery was touching more often sensitive nerves.
Famous Quote On the Need to Pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act of 1964: Everett Dirksen: “Equality of
opportunity must prevail if we are to complete the covenant that we have made
with the people, and if we are to honor the pledges we made when we held up our
hands to take an oath to defend the laws and to carry out the Constitution of
the United States. I am prepared for the vote.”
