teach the children well, during the shutdown
My dear parents of kids stuck at home- -how do you keep up education? — For now is time to teach your kids what you wish them to learn– and now what education bureaucrats wish to teach — which more the pablum of conformity than actual knowledge … — And if the actual school stuff is too absurd to operate – there are 1000s of websites that would serve well as textbooks and study guides — why, even a few hours strolling through 100 subjects on wikipedia — would be an excellent educational tutorial — 🙂 be well my dear people
-
remember – Abe Lincoln never really went to school at all – but read every book he could find … 🙂
-
-
for instance – this website for math — and it’s probably far more user friendly than anything set up by educational bureaucrats —? –
-
-
-
here’s a National Geographic sites for ‘geography for kids’- probably better than any textbook in any school today
-
-
here’s another site — I can’t vouch for it that much – but – it’s there – there are literally 100s of such websites — ‘this or that’ for kids – that would serve fairly well – -for the thing we call ‘school’ –
-
-
here’s science for kids — again – probably far better than anything a current school would offer in class —
-
-
it really doesn’t make a difference if you follow a ‘lesson plan’ — for the kids are sponges – shove anything and more into their minds – so ready to learn – and indeed– ‘education’ as practiced today in public schools is mush — far better to show your kids the reality that there is so much to learn- no school could help to teach it — in fact, public schools today are more about not teaching information- but propaganda for conformity — teach the children well ….
Trump, and the virus response …
I read this on a facebook post – I have no idea who this lady is – I’m sure a fine thinker — perhaps an ‘influencer’ – a sort of person who rather scares me at times. Anyway – -she wrote some weird unthinking confused drivel – and on that thread I responded thus … first her comments – then mine …

Listen, people. You all need to understand that Trump is not as stupid as he seems, and he’s also not smart enough to cause all of this chaos on purpose. He is probably around average intelligence, but he is clinically mentally ill.
Thousands of psychologists and therapists have diagnosed him with narcissistic personality disorder.
He is absolutely delusional, and I do not mean that figuratively or metaphorically. I mean that he literally does not have a grasp on reality. The people around him are trying to manage him, and he is unmanageable.
It was one thing to manage Reagan when he was just nodding off in meetings and at events and forgetting some things. This is an entirely different situation. Donald Trump is delusional about what is happening in this country. His fragile psyche literally cannot handle it, and his sociopathic nature allows him to brush it off and move on.
The good people around him are just hoping they can keep things from getting worse, and the bad people around him are doing things like gutting EPA regulations, taking Native American reservations (yes!! this happened this week!!), profiteering off of the pandemic, etc, etc.
Every state is on its own. In red states, every local government is on its own.
Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Jim Hlavac California has 38 million people and like the 5th or 6th largest economy on earth – Italy which is 20 million more people has a way smaller economy — and they do it on their own – -for every other country is busy with their own related issues — and since it really is a local issue in handling the actual infected people — it’s only a ‘national’ issue in the form of research to find a cure and vaccine – and seems to be 1000s of people and entities racing to get it done – meanwhile- 1000s of local firms, groups, people — whomever – have gone and done what they know about local issues – old Ms Smith down the block — without waiting for a directive from DC —
meanwhile the conditions in the various hot spots CA, WA, NYC, NOLA – are all different – everything, including ethnic groups and languages and translators available — and they each have the means to be run as their own country — Europe ‘which we should be more like’ I’m told — doesn’t have one guy at the top — making every decision – but Spain, England and Italy and so forth do — so — the PM of England is a rough equivalent to HRH Andrew Cuomo … 🙂
I am sure the brilliant Gavin Newsom — governor of CA – would be Ms. Teo’s pick for a president — perhaps this is a great test of the fellow – -figure out if he can run 40,000,000 — before we give him 320 million — one must observe their ways, yes? 🙂
terrible – just terrible – a state left on its own, the not so bad off , filled with geniuses, state — and the local lugs on the football team — and the governor — and so many others who knows – all got together, did their part – and where was Trump to direct this amazingly complex puzzle in such short order? — busy aswering whacko questions from reporters and congresscritters –
Ms. Teo is a bit confused about reality – as she looks to an All Powerful Leader — she would have loved Louis XIV I’m sure

I am reminded here of the famous dictum of Democrat wonderkind against Reagan — Tip O’Neal — of Mass.! — “all politics is local”– 🙂
note to Ms. Teo — this was the point of our country – -and we seem to have gotten it right — for we sure are rich and powerful – if not charmingly perfect as you wish – with a Dear Leader to assuage your worries nothing is getting done …
“Every state is on its own. In red states, every local government is on its own. ”
she seems unaware of the Posse Comitatus acts — ‘every county on its own’- it’s why sheriffs have plenty o’power –

Jewish Family Services of Phoenix AZ are Nazis — yep
the fact that Jewish Family Services of Phoenix AZ refuses to give me their reports about some fictitious ‘me’ — for they have deemed me ‘severely mentally ill’ – -and insist on only talking to my ‘legal guardian’ – which I do not have or need — is rather amazing to me —
but on January 6th 2017 — the first time I ever encountered this agency I was told I had to meet — ‘why?’ — ‘well, you have to for health care’ — so I complied — and there — a woman looked me straight in the eye and said ‘you are so severely mentally ill you would not understand what we are going to do for you — when we get you the right agency for people like you .. we’re going to help you.” and she said this in a sickening cadence and tone that is fine with 6 year olds – but rather stunning to a 58 year old fellow .. I assure you …
and at that point I walked out — muttering under my breath — ‘these people are insane — what are they talking about?’
and then they deemed me ‘uncooperative’ for not complying with them — they — who I had no reason to ever meet — for any reason — and then – they — the Jewish Family Services of Phoenix – came at me like Nazis — at my very door of my home — they pounded — demanding I go with them — they were — frankly — evil and disgusting
and that’s why I live in Mazatlan — to preserve my Life and Liberty — 
you’re welcome thanks
Why I live in Mazatlan, Mexico —
why do I live in a hidden apartment in Mazatlan Mexico? —
well the reason is complex, yet simple — for about some 30 some service agencies in Tucson & Phoenix AZ had many a ‘team’ working on my ‘case’ — though — I never met them — nor had need to meet them — and about 100 people whose names I do not know — go on and on about some ‘me’ that doesn’t exist — and my entire real life is dismissed as a delusion — their word — ‘James is delusional about playing piano’ — > “James is delusional about speaking Czech” — “James is … ” is so many things I wonder who this fellow is —
only 3 of them begrudgingly handed over their reports about this ‘me’ in their minds – 350 pages of utter fantasy —
the rest refused – insisting they would only release them to my ‘legal guardian’ — for I was declared legally ‘severely mentally ill’ – by people I never met — or perhaps once — for 15 or 20 minutes to sign their damn forms to keep the AIDS drugs flowing /// which were stopped often enough – for months at a time — no drugs — they were forbidden to me — and then they wrote “James refuses to take his medication” — I did not — they refused to give them to me!
my every attempt to reason with these people — to explain who I was — and am — was met with a sullen refusal to listen to a word I said — for they had already concluded I was insane — and thus of no further consideration
this cannot be avoided – it is the reality I face …
and thus is my enraged hate at bureaucrats and liberal Democrat women — for that’s all they were mostly and a few men from anti-gay cultures —
and finally it came to some moron broad asking me “are you sad you’re gay?” — and that’s when I thought — concluded even — ‘oh, I got to get out of here – and run away to Mazatlan’ and here I am 
that’s why — this —
the fact that Jewish Family Services of Phoenix AZ refuses to give me their reports about some fictitious ‘me’ — for they have deemed me ‘severely mentally ill’ – -and insist on only talking to my ‘legal guardian’ – which I do not have or need — is rather amazing to me —

Hunzik Vavruša
In my first week in Prague in 2006 — land of my forefathers — my 17 year old cousin — Hunzik — “Johnny” — family by some strange degree – he is after all a Vavruša by way of Klima by way of Javurek — was induced to accompany me on my first foray “alone” in Prague — for other cousins forbade me to go by myself — I am sure he was bribed with some cash money — and a threat or two — “he is our cousin from America!” — and his English was wondrous — and we found each other in Karlovo Naměsto – Charles’s Square – we just saw each other through a thick crowd — we just saw each other — our eyes made contact — — and we looked like family — and we just went towards each other — we knew each other instantly —
it was most amazing and wondrous – and this young kid thinking “oh my lordy I got to show some old bastard around Prague” — warmed to me – first I told him — “I will pay for everything – do not try to pay for a thing — ” and then I kidded him “I know someone gave you a few hundred krona (the currency of the land) — you reach for it — I will break your hand — you keep that for whatever – don’t tell a soul” – and he showed me around — oh he did
we stopped at a restaurant for lunch — I ordered him a beer — it’s legal for underage kids with an adult in charge to have a beer — oh was he happy — I was like his grandpa — and many places we went — someone would try to speak to me – my first week there — when it was a confused buzz — I said — “speak to the kid” — and in many ways — that’s what is like today in 2020 with Arturo in Mazatlan Mexico — “speak to the kid” —
but after the hours and hours together – the entire day — and into the night — Hunzik said “you know — for an American – you speak pretty good Czech — ” – and I said “for a Czech kid your English is fine” – and so we became good buddies — for what I am sure he thought some loathsome chore
Dear Tamara and Mike from wherever ….
One never knows what power and authorities one might call on in times of need — I’m a schnook — I admit it — a schlubb — a schlamazel even — a schmuck too! — what do I care? — who knows what Yiddish I might call on — I am from NYC after all. And I got the birth certificate, accent and attitude to prove it! Oh yes I do! I did NOT change Louisiana because I was a wallflower on tacky wallpaper …. nope.
I am not ‘involved’ directly with any power circles here in Mazatlan. But I am “el gringo favorito del Centro Historico” — not the most famous, not the most important – but the most favorite — I assure you.
I came to Mazatlan to do nothing — I did pretty good — still created hundreds of pieces of music — wrote a few books here — and became part of the community. I became the semi-official piano player at the Art Museum — if I had the energy — I would waltz in and they’d say “oh play for us!” —
I know literally 100 people of power of some kind — including several police and a Mexican Army Sergeant — all of whom look at me as “our beloved gringo” — I have never had to call on any of them for serious help. Who they know? I do NOT know – but I assure you – they will be on my side …. and they all know lots of people. People beyond my comprehension — but when they speak – they will tell people with more power than I — or of they themselves — they will call on their friends — oh yes — and say — “remove these people from Our Gringo’s Life”– and it will happen.
I won’t even have to open the door — nope.
And they will be gone. I don’t care how — the particulars are of no interest to me. And when it is over — they all come — are you OK? — and I got some considerable proof of my contentions
3 goddamn days — and my new neighbors who I have never seen before — and they are complaining to the Belmar I am loud! Are they fucking insane? — Drinking parties? — I spend 1/2 my day in bed sleeping — I use earphones so no one hears my music — I speak to virtually no one. Even Arturo spends most of his time here in the kitchen or outside cackling with his friends on faboo — playing games, videos – he’s happy — and the slightest sound I make to get up – he is at the ready to help!
And these morons are going to think they are going to waltz into my life and disrupt it? They are fucking out of their minds!
I’m too loud? They ain’t ready for the noise I love of my street I live high above — wait till tonight — when about 10 starts the noise — goes on to 1 or 2 AM! – I LOVE IT – the SOUNDS of LIFE — as mine is truncated – and I’m too loud! —
Wait to the hear the music blasting from the Museo, Machado, Puerto Viejo – 10 PM! it starts — goes to 1 or 2 in the AM — later even!
Who the fuck are these morons? — I will find out — oh – I will need a day to calm down
I have never even had more than 4 people in my house at once! — I refuse to serve the young liquor —
Wallace is 32 — he can have his two beers – while we guffaw about times past — like a son and dad
And two fucking morons from wherever are going to complain? Really? After 3 days? the ABSURDITY is beyond comprehension — they will think they will dictate how I shall live — egad — miserable — miserable —
This year’s whackos have shown up — right next door — fucking stunning! been here 3 days — and they complained about some wild party last night — 3 guys in pleasant conversation and laughter between 9 PM and 10:30 PM — was too much for their gentle souls – I was just informed of this by Arturo — who was told about this at the front desk — oh – this is absurd! this is going to require an intervention — after I calm at this absurd intrusion into a calm and quiet life — the chutzpah and arrogance of this is stunning —
My dear Sir — Mr Kessinger
Jay Kessinger — my good sir – -with all the decency I can manage -at your perfidy – we agree on most everything — but I am getting fucking tired of your condemnation of gay men – your fucking preachers of every Christian denomination of our “faith” are raping boys – your churches are paying out billions of dollars against rape charges -and you defile gay men? – -are you insane? — are you this fucking blind – what does it take? – -but I am getting tired of your anti-gay men shit –very tired – your Christian preachers of all stripe RAPE boys – -and you have the balls to blame us few? you are insane – I suggest — strongly you get a grip – -EVER show a picture of a Catholic prelate in dress in bitching about gay men I shall have a hissy fit – I assure you — you are not fucking ready for me – I have done more good in my life than any damn man in a dress as you extol – it is becoming tiresome — I suggest sir — I suggest strongly you learn something — rather than trash me and my fellows — I suggest you read this book – -and STOP blaming gay men – -which you fucking heteros create — we are you sons — brothers — nephews — and you moan – that after you create us – we are the problem – are you that fucking insane? Every fucking theory you have for OUR EXISTENCE – is YOUR fault – and you blame us – -are you that mad – insane — delusional? _ _EVERY Theory have is “hetreroos make gay men” – then THEN _ _YOU blame us! are you nuts – for your “god” – let me tell you sir — I have more talents and did more than you in your miserable life — other than to condemn me for “your god” – you make – and condemn us — fucking amazing —

Jim Hlavac I had absolutely no idea that gay men were not allowed to use or see or reference rainbows — this is stunning news to me! — Is this a law? is there some Bible verse you might refer me to that says “But gay men shall not be allowed to use the rainbow!” — ? You all got to be kidding — use it as you wish – but don’t tell us we can’t use it – -that idea is simply absurd! you jest? yes? egad

Jim Hlavac Jay Kessinger sir — in utter comedy — the FBI and various authorities have been looking for the Nefarious Dorothy who was organizing gay men across the country — since the 1950s into the 1980s — lordy knows how many millions were spent on this quest — hahaahahah — and I know you do not like wasteful government spending 🙂 think about it

Jim Hlavac And I want to be clear that I mean this all in the best of comity and decency and just — well think about it — I and my fellows are American citizens — and have you ever considered the some $200 billion a year we pay to all taxing authorities? And AIDS? well — barely $20 billion — most of heteroos now – and so — we’re nice fellows we’ll pay for that — but what of the other $180 billion? Well, sir — we gay guys are so nice we provide all the funding for beaten wife shelters — rape centers — orphanages — adoptions — child rescue places — children’s shelters and foster care — and divorce courts — we pay for all of this — maybe even a preschool or two too! We — we gay men — $200 a billion a year in Taxes! — and only $20 billion for AIDS — (our special project where in which we were unwilling unwitting guinea pigs from which 90% of all modern immune therapies, transplants and so many other miraculous immune system discoveries come from — for which we get no thanks) —
And now –after all this — you shall tell us we can’t use a rainbow? You’re going to take it back? from whom? Your fellow citizens? Do we butter our toast too loudly? hmmm 🙂

Jim Hlavac My calculus of the $200 billion is quite complex and lengthy so I hesitate to share it here — but oh trust me – I can prove it — beyond a shadow of a doubt – in fact on a major economics blog “Cafe Hayek” – run by a well renowned economics professor — he just said “wow” — and that sir – is high compliment from Donald Boudreaux — oh yes — 🙂

Tearing Rains! Floods! — Armageddonish even — and there — are Gay Rainbow Flags — because virtually every bar on Rampart is Gay! eek! – wondrous — anyway — I took this picture — along side Jaroslav Richter of the Czech National New Service — complex story why – but I am internationally known — and all the flimsy rainbow flags are there — and every church in the city destroyed — 🙂 think about that — carefully
Anyway – this picture I took — with the CDK — was sent around the world courtesy of the CDK to every gay newspaper on earth — and published — as a sign — that our Flag Was Still There —
You take it back — Molon Labe 🙂 cheers — be well – think hard — carefully

Iran, Trump, Embassies and the dead guy
in 1000 years of diplomatic history all over the world, and the tradition and necessity! goes back to time immemorial, and then slowly spread as “hey, good idea, let’s agree”
— the embassies of foreign belligerents in your country are inviolate — this is International Law and Practice and Tradition! Throughout the Ages – this has been respected by everyone! — Except Iran — them “waaaah”
— The Embassy of another nation in your capital — is that nation’s national territory! — It’s not yours — you don’t get to attack it! That simple — the basic principal — The host country can declare all embassy personal “persona non grata” and expel ’em all – and they have to go — but –the embassy nation gets to send in a new crew to present its credentials — or the embassy country can voluntarily remove all personal as they wish — but that empty building is STILL the NATIONAL TERRITORY of the embassy nation– that’s it — that’s all you get — for 1000 years! yeesh — is this hard to grasp? All over the world – everywhere everyone all nations in good will …
And so far — with few other exceptions long ago
— Iran – has — attacked — our — national – territory — which — is — our embassies — that’s it! Nothing more — TWICE They attacked TWICE — and we go like whiny little girls on top of table when a mouse is in the corner? — you friggin’ jest —
That’s simply demented — they violated everything of 1000 years of human history — and Trump took care of that 🙂 good — fantastic – keep it up 🙂 cheers enjoy — 1000 years of history – which all respected everywhere – except Iran … think — carefully

Now people – you will apologize to me – you morons called police against me — you had me — your piano player – hailed out of my house — by police — are you always this arrogant and insane and rude? always? who the fuck do you think you are? That’s me — playing your piano which none of you could be bothered to listen to my wondrous music — such rude arrogant crap is astonishing — you couldn’t be bothered to hear me play my glorious music which I played for you – and instead — called police against me — like NAZIS — to have me hauled away — are you all always this fucking insane? From an organization I helped set up at the beginning? really? Oh, — say it ain’t so — I was bar buddies with Larry Kramer your founder – -and you had me hauled away by police! — are you that insane?
Fear not – I am 2800 miles away in Mazatlan Mexico — far from your evil crap —
now – I suggest strongly — I get — an email with the heading “we apologize” — so I might be bothered to read it —
Any bureaucratic bullshit will be dismissed — and on comes the next assault — you got no clue — I am not shy.
I have a public blog — this email will be posted there too — “the daily mush’ — now — apologize – now – or we might need lawyers — you have fucked with the wrong sissy — trust me — for I have used my blog for nigh on 10 years to extol the glory of gay guys — I tackled all of America — you are nothing. Trust me …
Now – -today — apologize — try — in your tiny bureaucratic hard hearts — to be decent — and send me an email with the subject heading “we apologize” — No other email of yours will be read by me — only the one that says “we apologize”-
Is this not clear to you? egad — miserable people — you are miserable …
