Rise above the fray.

 


Today's Tids Issue 5,300 

He left his heart: 

 

 

It is Friday, and what more is there to say than have a great one everybody. Listen to the music you hear and let it touch you. And open your eyes to everywhere. And let yourself dream. Feel the beauty of each moment of your day. And then sleep happily, contented knowing you have found something new. 

And it's cheaper than flying somewhere to a rock concert; losing your luggage and being assaulted by a mad airline passenger! 

A Connecticut eater says that a Big Mac Combo mela there costs $17.59. Where have you gone Micky D? Maybe the White House will come up with fast food subsidy before the election. 

A good conservative, Republican friend of mine thinks the repubs in Congress are wasting time on revenge politics. He thinks the best way to keep the House and add the Senate is to do something for the People. Like, isn't that why they are there? Pass laws to stem the tide of an out-of-control government. Give the people something positive to vote for. Salacious discoveries may tickle hearts, but the power of a great country lies in the nobleness of its leaders. 

As I get older and I remember all the people I’ve lost along the way, I think to myself, maybe a career as a tour guide wasn’t for me. 

The Question: 

What was Tony Bennet's first big hit in 1951? Bonus: Where was the first Battle of Bull Run fought? Extra Bonus: Who was found guilty in the famous “Monkey trial”? 

The Headlines: 

--Stocks Open Higher; Faith in Tech Rebounding.  

--FTC Backs Down from Legal Challenge to Microsoft-Activision Merger.  

--WH Announces Agreement between 7 AI Developers; Microsoft, Google Meta, Anthropic, Inflection, Amazon and OpenAI Agree to Introduce AI Safely. 

--New Poll: 55% of Americans Say Biden Not Worthy of Office of President; 53% Say Same for Trump. 

--Senator Grassley Releases Unverified FBI Report Detailing “Two Bidens” Receiving $10 Million from Ukraine Oligarch for Favor.  

--Super Song Stylist Tony Bennett Dies at 96. 

--Trump Documents Case Trial set for May 2024 

Tesla is going to tap into the Biden cash bonanza for alternative energy and use those funds to offset the company's need to lower prices to meet competition. In other words, the cost of EV’s is too high, and it can’t exist rationally in an economic formula, that also will go for general energy productions and distribution. Have we ever seen a scientific analysis on the exact contribution to the reorientation of climate from the massive and expensive move ot alternative energy.  Or are the perceived benefits to climate just in the hearts of poets. Or of businesses that will make trillions from the change. 

A long-time reader writes to tell me he and his wife decided they don't want any more children. And they're going to tell their children at dinner tonight.  

How many times to we have to read the headline, “Lional Messi Set to make Debut in MLS.” Just do it. So, if we have all these headlines about nothing, can you imagine the coverage of his first game! 

Did you know that Iceland is only one sea away from Ireland? 

A current national irony is that we are in a time when lots of people have been pulling it in to shave inflation, sacrificing. Yet unions are out there asking for higher wages on several fronts. 

Although, AC for UPS drivers seems ot make sense. 

A majority of Americans are saying neither Biden nor Trump are worthy of the office of President. Yet, they are the easy front runners. So how come Americans can’t vote the way they think? 

If you rearrange the letters in “Fast” food, it becomes "Fats: food. 

The Answer; 

I remember well “Because of You”, Tony Bennett’s first super hit. Everybody said, who is this guy, Tony Bennett. Then everybody went out and bought that 45rpm record making the tops for the year 1951. His hit was produced and orchestrated by two musical giants of the day. Mitch Miller and Percy Faith. Bonus: The first Battle of Bull Run was in Manassas Virginia. Extra Bonus: John Scopes was found guilty for preaching Darwinism in school. 

Have a great weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y! 

Maybe you'll be humming this:
