In 2019, the Benson Schools’ Kids Action Team created a video for the A4283 Ban Puppy mills in pet stores bill that was presented to the NYS Assembly. What a wonderful contribution these students had made. Sadly, the assembly members did not feel animal abuse was a high priority that year, or the next year. As of today, May 28, 2021, the bill is sitting in the Assembly Rules committee with a few days of session remaining. Please call and email your assembly member and the Rules Committee members in support of this bill and ask to move it forward for a floor vote.

Laughter expands the soul of Americans to a planetary scale! (Double smile: an April Fool's gift to America from Ukraine) Divide the bagel in half and you will see that there are two smiles in each bagel. A smile is a kiss of the soul! Laughter is the daily glow of the mind! April 1 - World Day of Humor and Laughter. In Australia, this day begins literally with laughter - the laugh of the mocking bird kookaburra. In England and Germany it is "Fools' Day", in Israel - "Fools' Competition" (card players), in Spain - "Fools' Day", in France - "Fish Day", in Japan - "Puppet Day", in Scotland - " Day of the cuckoo ", ... In India, members of laughter clubs organize processions, chant "Ho ho, ha ha ha," dance and clap their hands, stop to laugh, and move on. April Fools' Day is a day of jokes all over China. In America, April 1 is the day of practical jokes and laughter. For example, on April 1, 1835, in one of the most popular publications, a message appeared about the invention of a powerful new telescope, with which you can carefully study the inhabitants of the moon. According to the publication, sleepwalkers looked like winged monkeys. Not a single reader doubted this invention. In Germany, the tradition of celebrating April 1 dates back to the 17th century. The tradition was called "Send to April". Children were sent to the pharmacy with errands like "go get pigeon milk" or "get us some mosquito fat." In Russia, they are not sent to "April", but to the ass! The evil lady shouts to the peasant: I wanted to send you, but I see that you are already there! ... In the East, they say: "He who does not have a wife can go to war to find her, who has several wives, he constantly lives in the war." Three wives are three father-in-law! As one Pakistani journalist commented, “She used to be the mistress of my heart, and now she is the owner of my wallet. Imagine that there are three such housewives! " ... The "Encyclopedia of World Humor" can be published in America (for the military). With examples of African wisdom: * With persistence, you can dig a well with a needle. * The smaller the lizard, the more it hopes to become a crocodile. Humor is like healing acupuncture for the mind. Three minutes of laughter equals fifteen minutes of gymnastics. Humor is a medicine with an unlimited shelf life. Unfortunately, now the inhabitants of the whole earth suffer from a common disease - psycho-addiction, from which there is no vaccination yet. The planet, like a drug addict, "got on the needle." Psychologists recommend laughing in moments of depression, laughing artificially, and a miracle happens. As a result of vibrations, each cell of the body is filled with light, cosmic energy. Laughter expands the soul! Humor strengthens our immune system and helps fight COVID-19 and other diseases. A cheerful mood is a vaccine against depression, a disinfection of the soul. Laughter gives birth to hormones of happiness!

I propose a business project: to release bagels with the inscription: "Find two smiles in me and eat with a friend!" ** Colleagues!

Today's March Over the Brooklyn Bridge

Trump and the Legend of El Dorado John Burl Smith Two weeks ago at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) debut of Donald Trump’s new” Republican Party in Orlando, many Americans, though amazed, witnessed what Trump’s brand of politics means for America. Before a word or cameras rolled its main stage became the star of the show. Designed like an Odal Rune, the insignia of Adolf Hitler’s infamous SS, prompted over 100,000 tweeters to light up cyber space like the Las Vegas strip, decrying the N**i symbolism. Promptly, both the Hyatt Regency Orlando and CPAC adamantly denied the stage was designed to resemble the N**i symbol, yet Hyatt defended its client’s right to use any design they chose, even if it represents racist groups like N**i Fascist. Clearly the stage resembled an Odal Rune, with diamond shaped extensions, which many tweeters said they remembered that sign from Charlotteville in 2017. Just the same, a parade of GOP lawmakers lined up, like Germans supporting De Führer, pledging fidelity to Donald Trump, the GOP’s load and savior. Led by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, flanked by wing man Kevin McCarthy, a gaggle of Paul Gosar, Ann Wagner, Madison Cawthorn, Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz resembled tail gunners waiting in ambush for Democrats. Amazingly, the talk of the roast or picnic (the original meaning of the term pick-a-nig**r) was a six-foot-golden statue of Donald Trump, which was wheeled around the hotel so Republicans could supplicate themselves as it passed. Again, tweeter feeders went after the “golden Donald,” like dive bombers in “machine gun alley” hunting convoys. However, the less prosaic, simply compared the situation to the “Idol worshipers” of the golden calf while Moses was on Mount Sinai receiving the Ten Commandments. On the other hand, I see a less Biblical and a far greedier symbolic obloquy to the Legend of “El Dorado.” “El Dorado” according to the Spanish legend began with “El Hombre Dorado,” “The Golden Man” or “El Rey Dorado,” “The Golden King,” both terms describe a mythical chief (Zipa) of Colombia’s Muisca tribe. Zipa, for his initiation ritual, covered himself with gold dust and submerged himself in Lake Guatavita. The El Dorado legend evolved from a man to a city, onto a kingdom, and then an empire. For me this is more of a Donald Trumpian vision, one based entirely on wealth, power and mysticism, which explains why so many greedy Republicans grovel and kiss Trump’s feet to avoid his dog house. The people we are really talking about are individuals that are crawling through slime and over each other to please a grifter, hoping to become the President of the United States of America. Just think about that for a moment. Then ask yourself are any of these “Neanderthal” thinking individuals resemble anyone you want to influence your children? That is the question Americans must answer when thinking of voting for their next Congressmen, Senator and President. That individual will create the world your children will have and you must ask yourself, will it be better than what we have today or worse? I look at my Grandchildren and great-granddaughter, while thinking of the world of sharecropping. My Mother and father escaped it in 1946 and I remember the political voter suppression back then and compare it to what Republicans are doing today. Then I say unequivocally, we are not going back. Progressives took the biggest and best shot Republicans had in 2020 and lost because we have the numbers and they know it now. Their problem is the 18 to 30 demographic; they are the largest voting block and it is growing. High school seniors and other first time voters became the key in Georgia. Showing up at the polls, they were numbers Republicans had not figured on in their victory scenario, which became the bases of their “election fraud stolen election claim.” Street organizers knew the votes had always been there, but getting them to turnout was the challenge. The 18 to 30 demographic, because of their politics, Republicans cannot attract, so they have opted to try and suppress it. The Democratic Party must answer with and all out push to register high school seniors across America. They will make Democrats competitive in districts Republicans presently control. These young people major issues are jobs and access to college. Young people coming out of high school and even drop outs cannot get fast food jobs any longer, because the elderly have taken those jobs to meet work requirements. A youth jobs program will give many families with only one breadwinner another check. Such families in low income neighborhoods and Indigenous communities will feel an immediate impact from voting. These communities will stand in line, pack lunches and bring water, folding chairs or whatever to vote in order to change the lives of their children. The Democratic Party must organize a senior high school voting program organized by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other members of the progressive caucus and fully fund the effort to make it a nationwide effort starting in 2021 in order to have it fully rolled out by 2022. Democrats must not allow Republicans to trick them into playing their fear game, like voting is a zero sum game. Republicans are limited because their base depends on the elderly voting population. Progressive has the unlimited potential of 18 to 30 demographic to draw on. While at the same time, young people must be made to feel they have a place at the table and will not be just voters, but real partners in this enterprise of democracy. The choice for Americans is Republicans golden “Trump El Dorado” vision or Democrats fight to drive COVID-19 from our shores, “Build back Better” with infrastructure and Green New Deal jobs, reduction in student debt, closing the wealth gap and equity and justice from law enforcement. All of this will require redirecting funds from tax cuts and blotted police budgets to a new vision of a community where black, red, brown, yellow and LGBTQ citizens share equally in the promise and prosperity of America!!!!
