It's the birthday of Ivanka Trump, daughter of Donald Trump whom I hope wins his second Presidential election this November 5th.

Ivana Marie "Ivanka" Trump was born October 30, 1981 in New York, NY as the second child of Donald Trump and his first wife Ivana.

She grew up to be an American businesswoman and successful entrepreneur who worked in diverse fields including real estate.

Ivanka Trump has worked as Senior Advisor to the President. She has delved into the areas of jewelry, shoes, and clothing lines. She is also a published author of The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life (2009) and Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules for Success (2017).

She worked in her father's administration. She also served as the Director of the Office of Economic Initiatives and Entrepreneurship.

She is married to Jared Kushner who also has a solid real estate work background. They have three children.

She is known for a straight talking hard hitting business style and she imparts her imprimatur of good judgement and common sense to those projects she undertakes.

She is 57 years young today. Happy birthday to you !
 

A first responder is an individual with specialized training and is among the first to arrive and provide assistance, incident resolution, or other required response at the scene of an emergency. First Responders are our modern day heroes who take action during disasters. These men and women are at the forefront of that prevention of death and destruction which might be inevitable otherwise.

Unsung and often unrecognized these heroes take on the impossible that we the common people might make it.

Today is National First Responders Day. It is observed each October 28 somce 2017 under the auspices of the United States Congress in recognition of the people who are in business to quell diaster — police, fire fighters, paramedics, emergency technicians, and the entirety of those who place you first are instrumental to recovery from natural disasters, accidents, and criminal activity.

Theirs is a dangerous and difficult workday.

So the next time you encounter first responders in action it is wise to step aside and let them do their thing. It's the best thing you can do for yourself and others.

Happy National First Responders Day.
 

Here we go with another celebration of the perversion of the United States of America. National Transgender Children Day is a day to mark the sicko parents who support their children's lack of judgement in an effort to coddle stupidity by allowing claims of gender other than the genetic original imparted at birth is reality — or even relevant.

There are but 3 sexual classifications within that spectrum called "normal". They are derived SOLELY by your chromosomal configuration. No amounts of claiming otherwise or playing dress up to appear the part will EVER make it reality.
 

National Transgender Children Day was the mind fart of unscientific idiot Jill Rubin Aul in 2019. She should be summarily executed and placed on display in a large jar of alcohol like the ignorant freak she is.

The two aspects of body image are genotype and phenotype. Genotype refers to those characteristics imparted by genetics and are part and parcel of who you are. Phenotype is that set of characteristics brought on my cosmetics and surgery and it does not change the reality of who you are. The stupid accepting parents cannot change these aspects of your existence. They, like their stupid transgender children are living a lie.

Your feelings do not matter when it comes to your genotype and phenotype. These are are fixed entities within your biological makeup. Transgender is not a biology it is a figment of perverted imagination which was once recognized as the pathology it remains.

Pardon me while I decline to overlook your blatant idiocy.
 

I used to watch chef programs on television in a younger day. It all started out with Julia Child on ETV in South Carolina and migrated to Emeril Legasse, Justin Wilson, and of course, Mario Batali. This went beyond to America's Test Kitchen and the ensemble chefs and testers and I think they were my favorite.

I was always intrigued by food preparation but it was the presentation aspects which took longer for me to fully grasp.

Today is International Chef Day. It is an October 20 observation held annually since 2004 under the auspices of one Dr Bill Gallagher of the World Association of Chefs celebrating the chefs of the world with a focus on healthy eating. They go with a theme and I think that seeing how much I enjoy food and fine dining I should have been paying more attention over the years.

So here's to the Chef. If you like to eat they are your kind of people too. I like the dynamic chefs with a presence you remember like Emeril's "BAM !". I can sit and listen to a chef discuss food preparation all day long. Alas, though I would gladly claim those bragging rights I am no chef. I squeak by with various dishes I prepare but lack that requisite knowledge to cook on the fly.

Gordon Ramsay would have a field day yelling at me. Happy International Chef Day and I hope you are able to go out for a fine meal as often as you like.
