The Ambassador

Just thought you ought to know...good morning, kids...it is Wednesday the 18th of December, 2024...just a week away from Christmas, and 5 days til Festivus...like for the rest of us...so, we awakened to yet another appointment to a foreign embassy...as trump has continued his change in leadership around the world...doesn't that seem funny?...no, funny is not the word...it is more of a religious proliferation...like in the 1800's, where the Catholics, Protestants, and soon after, the Mormons...spread the good word out...this time it is Maga morose...

Herschel Walker is the latest Ambassador...to the Bahamas...interesting...as he (trump) is honoring those who stuck by him...by giving them jobs for their loyalty...the list is growing...of course, it got me thinking....what really is this position and what do they do?...a time for teaching, assuming, like me...I didn't know much about it...other than, when attacked, the embassy destroys all files, and gets outta dodge...from flicks, I got this...

The Embassy...we, the USA, have 173 of them...in capital cities all around the world...many of the more combative countries, we even have compounds...the leader of each is the Ambassador...which is the person named by the present, or in this case, the Prez-elect, serves in that spot...which gets me to the very great series on Netflix, the Diplomat...what is the deal?...well, the Ambassador is one step above the Diplomat...you know, chain of command...

Their function?...to help with the USA citizens in these foreign countries...and to bridge a gap between the country and our leadership, when needed...that is the written part...it just has to be a safe haven for our multitude of spies...why then, all the shredding?...right...who protects the Embassy?...here we go, in some cases...Marines...well, in ALL cases that there is a need...judging by what I see, it's got be in EVERY Embassy...especially now...hint hint...

Okay, class dismissed...Embassies 101...

Pivoting...

The Bucks won the Cup, over the Thunder...JCC...did not watch a single possession of this farce...

In the Match...saw 3 holes and got bored...Rory and Scotty beat LIV...OK, it's more fun to watch hacks play then these really good guys...BTW, they got paid in Bitcoin...Scotty was confused...as I am...can you buy anything with this?...

The recent highly publicized shooting, er killings...so dreadful...and deadful...the 15 yr old girl, how on earth did she get access to a gun?...and the CEO killer, he is lucky he is in NY...well, not yet...but when he finally gets extradited...he does not face the death penalty...in that state...

Honda and Nissan want to merge?...OK, so what?...price fixing the concern?...

Just in, with the crypto values rising...luxury brands are debating about accepting payment this way...talking high end fashion brands and retailers...ah, does Amazon qualify?...that's as high end as I go...or Costco...that's it...

I just sent a check to the Human Fund, for 100 bitcoin...
