- Marilyn Monroe found dead on this day in 1962
-
In what has proven to be the unscrupulous immoral pinnacle of government in the United States American actress Marilyn Monroe is found dead at her home from a drug overdose under the pretenses of suicide which haven't stood the tests of time.
It all appears now that the CIA murdered her to silence her threats to go public with various tidbits of 'pillow talk' acquired via amorous interludes with both the President John F Kennedy and his Attorney General and brother Robert F Kennedy.
The moral of the story is one of strange bedfellows and why wonder if you get murdered when that's the company you keep. The nastiness of human beings in the final analysis is one of those things which are often betrayed by appearances in the pursuit of who we are and what we ultimately become.
You think somebody has been treated totally wrong only to find that they too only practiced what they got.
Regardless of the promise the young President and his grand designs on the future of the United States he had agents who were murderous thugs and it is obvious that the ends of power are likely justified indeed. The only trouble is the deep state and shadow government remain to kill your ass if you get in the way or run your mouth.

- Coast Guard Day 2020
-
My interest in the Coast Guard had nothing to do with puddle pirates in general, but more so a single member of that branch of service.
Now that we're done it's much less sigificant to me over all ...
And the subject of more of those bad memories which make for an unhappy life.
Today is Coast Guard Day.
It's held each fourth of August to commemorate the founding of the United States Coast Guard. At that point in time — which was 1790 — it was known as the Revenue Marine.
It was initially built under the auspices of then Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton.
US Congress led by Hamilton authorized the building of a fleet of the first ten Revenue Service cutters, whose responsibility became enforcement of the first tariff laws enacted by the US Congress under the US Constitution.

- Lenny Bruce died on this day in 1966
-
Lenny Bruce was quite a bit risque for the likes of me when I was his contemporary. A child of eleven likely will be pretty naive to the strains of very adult standup to include edgy political satire, black comedy, blue comedy, current American politics, religion, human sexuality, obscenity, pop cultur and of course race relations in an America who had recently murdered it's own chief executive in Dallas Texas and that general schema of all things verboden
... at least in polite company.
Leonard Alfred Schneider was born October 13, 1925 and became a stand up comedian who espoused a counterculture comedy where he called it like he saw it. He worked under the very unasuming moniker of Lenny Bruce. His schtick included social criticism and satire and he was always on the edge of what was considered "acceptable" back in that time when we as a nation were neanderthals seeking to project a prim and proper project of all that deep state and shadow government crime institutied by the failed presidents Truman and Eisenhower.
The general consensus of the politics and society of the day appeared to be:
"We can kill you and do whatever else we like to you simply by calling it 'national security' but don't you dare swear or call us on it or we'll throw you in prison or much worse ...
Lenny Bruce suffered the indignation of a 1964 conviction for obscenity for which he was pardoned posthumously by Governor George Pataki in 2003.
It would seem that I'm not the only one to recognize that phony pretentious slant of the way politics run and the sleazy characters presenting all the 'holier than thou' bull crap toward that end.
By and large the Republic would likely never tolerate the frank talk by a Lenny Bruce or anyone else out to call them the murdering thieving self agrandizing phonies they are. Though I was too young to fully appreciate his art and his life he has always been someone to which I could relate in all the phoney baloney nothing of antifa, BLM bullshit, and the rest of the lying democrat and Marxist crap floating around anymore.
As he so aptly put it long ago: "Let the buyer beware". Lenny Bruce died on this day in 1966 from a drug overdose.

- Roy Cohn died on this day in 1986
-
My mother often has admonished me not to speak ill of the dead. Her position on this matter revolves around the individual not being able to defend themselves in the presence of some scathing criticism from another still living. It's also simply the way she is ... a nice, kind, warm, gentle lady who has seen a few things here and there.
Roy Cohn was a dirtbag. Many attorneys take that dark path to dirtbagdom. It is the single most prevalent profession held by scum on the planet.
Roy Marcus Cohn
February 20, 1927 - August 2, 1986
Now this turd was the attorney responsible for the execution of the so-called 'atomic spies' Julius and Ethel Rosenberg trial in 1951. Subsequent investigations of the facts have proved to my satisfaction that this is more a sham trial than any thing else and it is likely the Rosenbergs were murdered by the state at the behest of Roy Cohn.
This closeted homosexual was the chief counsel to Senator Joseph McCarthy's from 1953 through 1954 and pretty much led him down the primrose path to ruination and destruction of his reputation by following his advice.
This cut throat was Donald Trump's attorney and mentor from 1973 through 1985 and that relationship is likely part and parcel of perception of distressing social habits on the part of our chief executive. Regardless, Mr Trump remains one of the most proactive and best POTUS ever in The Republic. I could really care less what the namby pamby panty waist critics of his have to say. Finally someone who cares more for the country than monitizing public office like the traitor Bush clan, the evil Clintons, and the brigands Obama.
Roy Marcus Cohn was an American lawyer best known for being a top political fixer. Thus is the nature of politics and people close to the powerful in government. Workarounds, loopholes, sweetheart deals, attorneys love their skullduggery and many practice law thusly.
Mr Cohn was born in New York City. He received his education at Columbia University. Those accustomed to preferential treatment grow to expect it. He lived a life surrounded by finery and indulgence to the very end.
He was disbarred from the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court for unethical conduct for attempting to defraud a dying client by coercing the client to sign a will amendment whereby his fortune would be left to Mr Cohn in 1986.
Roy Cohn died a month or so later from AIDS-related complications and thus ended yet another sad tale of this overstepping evil attorney stomping on the rest of the taxpayers during his perverse life of outrageous gall.
Burn in Hell.

- MTV begins broadcasting in the United States in 1981
-
I had a rather lengthy MTV era in my life. It's not something I'm particularly proud of ... but it's in my history nonetheless.
At the time my peer group viewed it as one of these forward thinking models for television and entertainment.
It was pretty much a juke box environment of music videos interspersed with musical news and various program elements involving personalities, venues, musicians, and current events.
My favorite character on this program was Kennedy, who I thought exhibited exceptional insight and had a presence which spoke volumes during those times she was on the air.
In 1981 the station began with a video called "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles. I went through more videos that I can count prior to forgetting about MTV right about that time I ended up on the West coast with a computer gig.
Music Television was based in New York City and was some subsidiary of Viacom. It rapidly grew to prominence in the popularity contest which is mass media communications such as those involving television and radio programming.
Now the program has devolved into various concert items and a hot buttered horeshit selection of reality programs where if the cast of characters doesn't nauseate you the lack of plot and interactivity is as dismal as that nothing the entire network has become.
Not doing MTV anymore for cause.

- The Outrageous Gore Vidal
-
I used to be a much more liberal mindset that I am presently.
Gore Vidal
October 3, 1925 – July 31, 2012
I tolerated other libtards in my midst to a much greater degree than I do now. One of those was Gore Vidal. He was a hoity toity man of aires and pretentiousness who was a fairly prolific author with a writing style entirely too similar to my own ...
He practiced all manner of activism and debauchery during his life time. His political inclinations were downright nauseating.
Eugene Luther Gore Vidal was an American writer and self agrandizing intellectual known for his succinct and often clever witty reparte and aphorisms, aristocratic manner, and a writing style which exhibited those characteristics to a tee.
He was openly bisexual and his novel works often flaunted the LGBT lifestyle to the point that he set a precendent for such drivel at the time ... hence my utter disdain.
He pursued political office several times having been the products of conception of a political family. His commentary and essays portrayed The Republic as that same type of decadent and debauched thing he was.
He was all over the magazines of the time anxious to relate any and all manner of the liberal and profane.
He passed from pneumonia and the consequences of a neurologic disorer at the advanced age of 86 years. He was memorialized in New York which is like Los Angeles — precisely where he belonged.
I've read several of his books over the years and though our politics and attitudes differ by a great margin he made his mark on the world whereas I have not even attempted go there, opting for a low profile as it were.
Good riddance to the pervert and that stain and taint he placed upon the humanity.

- On this day in 1975 Jimmy Hoffa disappears
-
I recall the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa as related on the news. However, the news is always painfully unaware of the facts behind what they broadcast or print and lately they've taken to making up their own material in an effort to sway the opinion of the massess ...
This was a particularly dark time in my existence with me attempting to find my way through those myriad mistakes that layed waste to my life and it was a long and hard journey which persisted well after the memories of Hoffa's murder faded in my memory.
In what was a personal tragedy for his family, Jimmy Hoffa, activist and president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) from 1957 until 1971 disappeared from the face of the earth never to be seen again.
The speculation was much and varied with the general consensus in the end that he was killed by his competition for the leadership of the union. This whack went down in the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox restaurant in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, near Detroit, at around 2:30 pm.
The saddest part of the entire mess was that lack of sympathy for the man I felt radiated from those discussing the matter. I suppose this was the beginning of people losing their humanity and empathy for their fellows and though Hoffa might well have deserved what he got in the eyes of many; still he paid a tough price for his political inclinations.
He disappeared on July 30, 1975 and believed to have been murdered by the Mafia. He was declared legally dead in 1982. That which he was and how he ended have been and remain matters of protracted debate.

- International Tiger Day 2020
-
Never have been one to pursue the presence of apex predators. Something about some animal as large as me viewing me as lunch is simply not the comforting thought I would actively seek.
Today is International Tiger Day, aka 'Global' Tiger Day. It is a yearly observance held to raise awareness for tiger conservation.
Each July 29 it attempts to promote a goal of protecting the natural habitats of tigers and to raise public awareness and support for tiger conservation issues internationally.
The day began in 2010 under the auspices of the Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit.
While I don't wish ill for any endangered beast of the world; I likewise don't wish to become nourishment for them either.

- Female Attraction and Me
-
Well ... the jury remains out on women who are attracted to we larger stature of the human male.
Not really being a 'fatty fat fat' as I may have been in childhood, I have evolved yet again into quite the corpulent fellow from more of a mesomorphic than endomorphic body type with the addition of those consequences of age and low T.
I keep reading about women who are attracted to so-called 'big guys' such as myself but I really haven't found that to be a target rich environment in my lifetime; however ...
There are extenuating circumstances with which a female of the species might find contentious if they become engaged in my sphere of existence.
There's a propensity for me to be somewhat the loner and I appreciate my down time and my solitude at times. This often comes off as aloofness when in fact I'm typically quite approachable and gregarious when engaged socially at any moment. Even if I'm 'cranky' it is typically not a problem for those in my midst as I have been working on this for some 40 years now.
My interests are sometimes described as esoteric and I'm afraid that some of the females I encounter simply could not care less for those things which interest me on a regular basis.
Age is also a factor. There was a time which I may have felt a twinge of desire periodically in matters of pairing off and interpersonal relations from a standpoint of coupling and I dare say those days will likely never pass this way again.
So in the total absence of despiration what is left is who I am and what I do and those brief interludes of conversation have me thinking that some ladies for whom there is no attraction whatsoever are indicating that they think I wish to make unwanted advances. Pah-tooey
I'd be personally offended if I didn't think it was so funny otherwise. When I think of what I have and what they have juggling their six toddlers from obviously different fathers I am left wondering if priorities even exist sometimes.
So who I am is what I am and I could be a good mate were it in the cards. The bulk of what I do precludes much in the way of pursuing other interests and that solitude thing is something I could consider factorial.
Those who I engage both understand the nature of who I am and have an appreciation for those aspects of my existence which intersect their own interests.
I have a penchant for the finer points of lovey dovey which is easily satisfied in a number of scenarios and this is a fairly well known fact as well and is exploited by the initiated to our mutual advantage.
Also, I don't view anyone so acceptable as to surrender my lifestyle in compromise at this juncture. Like the concept of "I'm glad you came but now you've got to go" is more important to me than pack your bags and move in ... it's just not happening out of the blue like it could have earlier in the great scheme of things.
This is not to say that I don't cheerfully accept my fair share of rejection either. My most recent attempt at some modicum of relationship was thwarted by the object of my affection such that all I could do is retreat ... and so I did.
It must be too late for me and I must be too satisfied otherwise because I really don't lose any sleep over any level of acceptance or lack thereof.
Whereas I was more relationshp centric early on I'd just as soon sleep alone these days with the occasional guest from time to time ... when she's of the minimal requirements I set for intimate company. I wasn't always so picky but that was then and this is now. It's been this way since about 1980 and the advent of deadly STDs available to the foolhardy.

- Teevee Robots and Me
-
So I recall the advent of sex robots and my contempt for them, their inventors, and the poor pitiful customers willing to spend great quantities of cash on their acquisition.
Yes, the socialization and interpersonal abilities of the manufacturers as well as the customers have been the subject of pondering in my mind for I believe that people should partner with other people and that these types of relationships are not suited to automatons nor lower life forms.
I have been watching a Russian television series called Better than Us which is streaming on Netflix.
In the immediate future robotics have become commonplace in the lives of people. They help in matters of child raising, operate personal conveyences, act as security personnel, and yes ... lovers for those who purchase them.
The bulk of the people in the series consider these "Bots" as soulless machines attending to a never ending stream of routine duties ... then also become capable of emotions.
A group of people called "The Liquidators" reject this automation in humanity and have declared war on the machines and those who support their use.
There are three sub plots:
Arisa is beautiful, caring, smart, and powerful. She has the ability to fight, use weapons, and has built in countermeasures in the face of adversity and danger.• My personal favorite, that of Arisa and the family whom she adopts. • Another plot involves The Liquidators, and their involvment with the only son of Arisa's family. • Finally, the intrigue of Viktor Toropov who is the head of CRONOS, involved in concealing the fact that his company cannot make another automated empath such as the superior Arisa.
The portrayal of Arisa by Russian actress Paulina Andreeva is nothing less than stunning with the robotic look portrayed and the abilities to engage in warfare with firearms and tactical weapons and remain unscathed functionally.
The humanity projected from this automaton is the part that touches me with her ability to detect and thwart subterfuge and attempts to make her hurt others.

- Regis Philbin passed at age 88
-
One of those television personalities who were "always there" was Regis Philbin.
He had a morning am television program I watched intermittently back in those days when I was watching the mainstream media prior to departing for hell on stupidity scorched earth aka Midlands Technical Collage Harbison campus.
He had some decline in the state of his recent health with orthopedic, cardiac and circulatory system procedures and he enjoyed a longer run than I'll probably have.
Bottom line here is he could do television without the personal attacks to which the mainstream media has devolved and projected a niceness we no longer see on television anymore.
His was a kinder, gentler, more polite form of televison.
On July 24, 2020 Regis Philbin died of natural causes at the age of 88.
Rest in peace.

- Steve Rubell Kicked Off on This Day in 1989
-
Steve Rubell was an American entrepreneur and co-owner of the New York disco Studio 54 back in my Navy days. I read of the antics of this character in the various New York newspapers circulated aboard ship by my cohorts who hailed primarily from "the city" as they called it ... and they were all interesting fellows and each one with a distinct rude yankee persona all their own.
I loved yapping with these guys from time to time because you could never win with them. Whether it was an argument or a bit of wrestling in the compartment there was nothing which could stop them ... ever. It simply wasn't worth trying to engage them regarding anything for which they had an opinion nor challenging them to some manner of horseplay.
The were all pretty relentless.
So Steve Rubell was part of that time in my life because of the contingent of New Yorkers with whom I cohabitated in the tin can Navy. I was fine with him during this time frame because of his distance and disparate circumstances.
After brief stints in the military and some time at a brokerage as well as two restaurants in the great northeast Yankee land the Studio 54 phase of his life went into effect.
This was the phony patent leather era of shitty music called 'disco' and all the air head females who had nothing more to do than either go out dancing or preparing for going out dancing during the remainder of their lives.
My kingdom for a woman who can converse intelligently. They were more sparse than anything else in the waning days of Studio 54, disco, and the stupid closet case Steve Rubell.
Studio 54 was opened in the old CBS Studio on West 54th Street that the network sold to them.
Steve Rubell
December 2, 1943 – July 25, 1989
Rubell became the front man standing outside the building and spending his time wielding that great power he imagined having by turning people away and only allowing entry to those who met his narrow, boring, perverse standards.
Rubell also handled Studio 54's celebrity patrons, with over the top parties and things proved profitable early on with the joint making some $7 million during its premiere year.
The mouthy nature of Steve Rubell proved problematic and his bragadoccio earned him raids on the property and various criminal charges and it's said that the owners engaged in a "cash skim" policy when netted them almost 2.5 million dollars which ended up as unreported income. Prison time became the order of the day.
In 1985, Rubell, who was a closeted homosexual for the bulk of his life discovered he had contracted HIV and this evolved to full blown AIDS.
He began taking AZT, but continued recreational drug use and drinking reeked havoc on his already compromised immune system.
Shortly prior to dying Rubell checked into Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City under an alias to seek treatment for hepatitis, kidney failure, and severe peptic ulcers.
He passed there on July 25, 1989 with an official cause of death is listed as hepatitis and septic shock complicated by AIDS.
His was a private funeral attended mostly by celebrity customers of Studio 54. He is interred at Beth Moses Cemetery in Farmingdale, New York.
Later, Mike Myers portrayed Steve Rubell in the 1998 drama film 54. Golly gee, casting an insufferable asshole to play an insufferable asshole in a movie. Life's little ironies. Go figure.
Good Riddance.

- COVID-19 results in 59% of Americans Not Planning Gym Renewals
-
So, in a story that hits home with me it seems that more than half of gym memberships will not be renewed directly as the result of the so-called COVID-19 pandemic.
A survey published Thursday, the online broker TD Ameritrade states that 59% of Americans releate they don’t intend to renew their gym memberships once the pandemic is over.
As IF the pandemic will ever be over. This so-called pandemic is the stuff of leftist libtard government officials trying to seize power over the populace ... why they are being allowed to live is well beyond me.
Even my blessed mother has said she will not be returning to her gym classes and these were things she enjoyed prior to the world allowing China to unleash this plague upon the world and then doing nothing.
It is said the primary driving factor behind this statistic is that the 'pandemic' has caused individuals to seek and find more cost effective mechanisms of fitness in their personal lives.
The impact of government intervention has further impeded gym businesses and the cold hard facts remain that too many of the wrong people were elected to office ... so you're pretty much reaping the suffering your democratic libtard attitude has sowed into the fabric of The Republic.
You who allowed this to happen can just suffer with the rest of us who spoke out against it all by electing President Trump.
