Gary McDonald "inRefinement" by A. McPope

Trumple-Thin-Skin published this artwork claiming he is a Doctor, not Jesus Christ .  Lauren Elizabeth publishes essays on Medium.com and describes herself as a writer with analysis on topics related to politics & policy. Today April 19, 2026 she quotes a letter written by the new President of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian and adressed to the American people: "“…Even in the face of repeated foreign interventions and pressures throughout their proud history, Iranians have consistently drawn a clear distinction between governments and the peoples they govern. This is a deeply rooted principle in Iranian culture and collective consciousness, and not just a political stance. For this reason, portraying Iran as a threat is neither consistent with historical reality nor with present-day observable facts. Such a perception is the product of political and economic whims of the powerful — the need to manufacture an enemy in order to justify pressure, maintain military dominance, sustain the a...

  In six weeks we'll have our answer dear readers. This photo has two people walking on a surface that looks like mowed Poa annua grass. Do you see them? I don't see golf clubs or caddies which makes me skeptical. We'll find out and let you know.     Let's talk about Spring Training. It happens every year for Baseball Teams; it occurs every fall for Hockey Teams and Football Teams and it happens every year in Canada for golfers, tennis players and many others.     My readers know me as having had 77 seasons of getting ready for burby, baseball, hockey, skiing, golf, tennis, squash and finally golf again for the last 40 years. My sons Greg and Rob know this and have poked fun at me while I tightened trusses and elastoplas bandages onto arms, legs, wrists, shoulders and spine to allow my passion for sports to play out on ice, snow, wood, concrete, grass and good old plain dirt. I didn't need these bands of assistance all the time, but often enough to be known as a...

  The Garfield Legacy Fund Significant Sales Experiences 1965 - 1998, May 29, 2002 -  February 08, 2023        My Significant Sales Experience (May 29, 2002)   My son Rob triggered this thought: 'What were your significant sales experience Dad?'  I answered with, 'That's a tough one Rob, let me think about that for awhile.' I immediately cracked open a new Word file and saved it on the desktop as YSSE. On a rainy day in May following several weeks of procrastination, I've considered a few of these memories for your reading enjoyment. My former partner Duncan McGregor has agreed that this paper would be a benefit to any sales person plying their trade in the lithographing business; indeed, he offered his recollection of these events and added one more horror story to my thoughts regarding the one whose itch is contained in the following material. Please read on, and know, that I have not included his comments into this report, as much as I apprecia...

  The Garfield Legacy Fund   The Rational Optimist   by Matt Ridley a book on evolving world prosperity. I completed this book January 29, 2020 and found TRO tedious at first. His opinions, I supposed, needed to review early examples of doing business, and he did that by looking at man’s pre-historic life without transactions with other men. Like animals, men ate what they killed, they wore the skins and built shelters; they did it all and relied on no one. When man realized that he did certain things well, and other men did certain other things well, they could then trade their skill sets or their products for the other man’s skills or products. Let’s say one was a good fisherman and the other was a good tool maker. They worked this by bartering fish for tools and both benefitted from the others work. When one multiplies these actions many times over, with many different skills, one’s prosperity can be greater than when one does it alone. And instead of simple bartering,...
