The reason for a 60 day ceasefire to get all of this done first

It was long the "state" religion of Bavaria, with a percent of gross income going to the Catholic Church until a few decades ago. When that requirement was removed, then you were not allowed to be married in a Catholic Church unless you had been paying that tax.

Tijuana has moved north of the border. culturally and racially in a big way.

I did make one trip to Tijuana in 1992. It was during the riots in Long Beach and Los Angeles. I figured it was a good time to visit across the border.

While I was there in the early 90's to take down a refinery for Shell, multi generation native Californians were more like Texans. It was the migrants from cities in the Midwest and Northeast who overwhelmed the state with lefty politics.

FTR, I found Orange County, the conservative bastion, to be on par with Louisiana Democrats (of the early 90s). After being offered several jobs better than in Louisiana, I opted to return fulltime. I could see back then that CA was doomed. Small manufacturing companies were already fleeing to states like Utah and Nevada in droves

More actual records sold than for any other song.

Dad told me that the reason it was so popular was that it appealed to millions of men in the uniform who would prefer to be home for Christmas instead of fighting Germans, Italians or Japs

The largest and best Faberge Egg collection privately owned in the world. Luxury hotels in foreign countries. Ranches in Central America. Donations (cash, manuscripts and artifacts) which made Tulane the best for archeology in the US. Donated shiploads of rice crop to England and France the first two years after WWII, from their own harvest. Money originally generated from the most oil per acre oilfield in the history of oil. Massive marsh ranchland. Largest client for the largest lobbying firm in DC, at least in the 1970's.

They ain't broke by a longshot. Gray is the lone progeny of the family. Named for his uncle who died in an American Airlines crash in NOLA in the 1970's. Gray being the family name who made all the original money.

Gray's dad, Spook, wanted to be a cowboy and cutting horse champ so became one, best horses money could buy, trainer and coach to get him there in the 1970's Growing up in Pasadena, CA, Spook wanted to up Lake Charles' music scene so created one fo the best FM stations of all time, with a great mix of Rock, Cosmic Cowboy (Austin) country, and South American Jazz, and several major night clubs one with a lot of live acts from Austin for the mid to late 1970's at Gandolf's (their grill had great burgers too). He started several successful large construction companies too, by hiring top people. Then he would get bored with a company after it was making money and either sell or shut it down.

Houston had sludge drying beds at its sewerage plants into the 1980's. Also tampon applicators and condoms spread everywhere.

It's not like he doesn't. He had ALL of the Central Asia heads in the Whitehouse at the same time recently. He's doing a lot more than the press is either aware of or willing to admit.

He also knows that the EU economy has recovered from its idiotic dalliance with "green" energy. They can definitely afford to support what is in their own backyard.
