When I was a kid there was Lt Theo Kojak on an eponymous police show which was widely popular during that time. Such shows didn't really attract me with my penchant for the Astroboy, Batman, Superman, and other super hero and technological fantasy offerings I preferred, but Telly Savalas was certainly a force in which to contend back in those days.

Some of his other exploits as decribed in various fluff pieces of the day were somewhat disconcerting ... but I think that was largely a function of my gender and NO I didn't think his penchant for performing with a sucker in his mouth to be all that.

Born Aristotelis Savalas on January 21, 1922 was an actor and singer whose career spanned four decades. He was totally bald which was uncommon as far as characteristics of actors went in the day. He had a baritone voice which was deep and resonant and this may account for a following of his singing he enjoyed.

He even charted at number 1 in Great Britain with a cover of the Bread song 'IF' in the year 1975.

Still, though he had a wide range of character portrayals over the years, it was Lt Theo Kojak I remember him for, because that was primarily how I encountered his art.

Telly Savalas did a hitch in the army serving from 1941-43 in the 4th Medical Training Regiment during World War II. He was awarded a purple heart medal during that time.

He passed away on January 22, 1994 at age 72 from complications of genitourinary carcinoma.

All in all he deserves a much larger space in my memories and recollections, but his heyday as it were was a most difficult period in my life. Thusly, my memories are much less than they might be otherwise.

Rest in peace.
 

Joe Biden simply cannot be my president, period. This election was stolen for him even if he is the only one who does not know it.

He is a despicable man who has been one of the most divisive politicians of the last half century.

He is a kleptocratic pederast and rapist (forced digital penetration is rape -- ask Tara Reade). In a more just world, he would receive nothing but scorn.

And then I got into Memphis, and some began to say the threats, or talk about the threats that were out of what would happen to me from some of our sick white brothers. Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place, but I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will, and He's allowed me to go up to the mountain, and I've looked over and I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the Promised Land. So I'm happy tonight, I'm not worried about anything, I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.

excerpt "I've Been to the Mountaintop"
Martin Luther King, Jr
Memphis, Tennessee, April 3, 1968

I was raised in a religious household. As a child I attended church regularly. It was simply an aspect of my life.

Growing older, I regret that I've lost touch with my religion and God as I once knew Him. Sure, I pray and enact reverence to my Diety ... but that closeness I felt as a child and the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting are not what they once were in my mind.

Then we have the devil spawn democrats who would do away with those fundamental religious freedoms which are one of those basis for the entire Republic.

Today is National Religious Freedom Day. It commemorates the Virginia General Assembly's adoption of Thomas Jefferson's landmark Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom on January 16, 1786.

The statute evolved into the establishment of the First Amendment of the US Constitution and led to freedom of religion for all Americans.

Religious Freedom Day has been officially proclaimed on January 16 in an annual statement by the President of the United States since 1993.

I hope I have the prvilege of seeing James Clyburn, Nancy Pelosi, Chucky Schumer, liars Adam Schiff and Dick Durban and the rest of the heathen democrats cast into the lake of fire with 'the squad' and the vast bulk of the satanic entertainment industry starting with Robert De Niro and Tom Hanks.
 

So we have yet another declaration from the united nations designed to lure you into a false sense of security that this organization is not out to ultimately control and kill you.

World Logic Day is declared as an international day proclaimed by UNESCO in association with the International Council for Philosophy and Human Sciences (CIPSH) in November 2019 to be celebrated on the 14th of January every year.

It was first celebrated on January 14, 2019, prior to the UNESCO declaration. World Logic Day claims to bring the history, concepts, and implications of logic to the attention of interdisciplinary science communities and the broader public.

All the while the UN seeks to make the world sustainable by reducing the population radically and designating living spaces and green spaces where they kill you if you dare cross over their boundaries.

This 'global' organization seeks to contain the population of the world in areas they deem appropriate and take everything you own and everything you earn into their own coffers as they make declaration after declaration ... much like the democrats are attempting right now to mould the world population into something they can manage in the name of that extermination of population sufficient to attain 'sustainability'.

Population control.
Control of where people live.
It's the modernized plot of soylient green only they don't process you for others to eat.
They just compost you to make more earth.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization is headquartered in France. It seems that the French are realizing the error of their ways and are now attaining a Nationalist composition rather than to facilitate UNESCO's global mandate ... which is simply an offshoot of the United Nations called Agenda 2030 and total control of the world with a 'global leadership' in Belgium, ownership of all properties, people, and things.

The traitor George HW Bush attempted to push the USA into this when his carcass was still animated. Luckily for us he is dead deepstate compost himself and his children are what the French call 'Les incompetants'.
 

I've been watching a lot of big bang theory re runs in an effort not to think about politics, the stolen election, the criminal dirtbag democrat party, complicent republicrats, and all the rest of the mess which is the United States anymore.

So I putz around on the computer and catch a quip here and there and remember how fond I was of Penny, Bernadette, and Amy ... in that kinder, gentler time more contemporary to the creation of the episodes.

I have the whole series to go through. I've already watched a fair chunk of it all in this go.

I keep wondering about the realism associated with some of these young ladies hooking up with their fictional boyfriends.

Just goes to show you that in the world of sitcoms regardless of the level of realism you perceive the one that isn't taken isn't always who you might think.
