Announcement: April LIVE Event

Special Announcement.

Event: Barnes Birthday Bash

Where: Chattanooga, Tennessee

When: Weekend of April 21, 2023

What: A special event, from 5 to 10 p.m., as the only, invited guests on a Mark Twain era Tennessee Riverboat, with catered dinner served, a scenic river cruise, live entertainment, a live special edition Hush Hush show, special guests, and a personal meet-up with Viva, I, special guests, and fellow members of the board.

Fundraiser: All net proceeds go to the Free America Law Center. Your ticket helps fund the three efforts FALC will be launching -- Political Freedom, Food Freedom, and Medical Freedom. In all three areas, deserving clients cannot afford representation and legal advocacy, the cases concern matters of core freedoms of everyday Americans, the impact of the cases is global and public, and the legal profession's own political parochialism leads them to not adequately or effectively represent these causes and individuals, from the Covington Boys to Kyle Rittenhouse, from the vaccine injured to the customers of small, independent farmers. Your support will make that representation possible, and this will be the inaugural fundraiser for FALC. Tickets to the event will be $350 per ticket, still less expensive than the ordinary fundraiser, and providing a lot more value than the typical fundraiser.

Tickets: A link will be sent to subscribers of the Board later this week. We have availability for 250 tickets for the special event.

I. INTRODUCTION 
 
A. Art of the Da
  • To time travel, a stop along the bucket list of people and places would be the Paris of the Orient, the multi-cultural, nation-divided Shanghai of the 1930s, captured in the 2010 film Shanghai, filled with refugees from Russia & Germany, explorers and expats from Britian and America, nomads and globetrotters from the world of writers and gamblers alike, amidst the Chicago style skyline and horse-and-buggies, horseracing tracks and nightime jazz clubs, cabarets and concessions, stood Shanghai of the 1930s, a cultural crossroads of east and west like few others in world history, a place where jazz could thrive long into the night, dancing along the crossroads of country and history itself.

Art of the Day 
  • The Charles Bridge of Prague. Fond of bridges, I remember it well, having come down from Kafka Lane higher in the city, and a man on a bycicle literally barking into the wind, and thinking somehow that made sense on Kafka Lane. The ancient history, the brooding statues, the iconic stone arch, the hopeful singers peopling it’s passage, all made it my favorite part of Prague, and a place to revisit for hopeful thought in my memory’s vault.

Art of the Day 

  • The cowboy hat on a country fence in the country. Americana defined. Independence. Freedom. Conviction. The best traits of America captured in the yeoman farmer of Jeffersonian lore. The echoes of a country song about love and loss, heartbreak and hope, a whisper of the future amidst the distress of the day. The sun ain’t set yet. 
Wisdom of the Day
