Key West Lou / HARRIS WINS / TRUMP LOSES

Harris decidedly won the debate last night. Trump lost. Pure and simple.

If tests remained for Harris to pass to prove she was qualified to be President, she passed them all. If Trump was being tested, he failed big time.

Harris knocked Trump silly.

Did Trump even prepare? The two moderators had to correct his lies three times. Trump pitched the already clearly disproved story about Haitian immigrants who were eating dogs and cats in Springfield, Ohio. Trump considered them true. He heard it on TV. He told the American people how great the Hungarian dictator Viktor Orban was. How many Americans even know who Orban is?

Trump looked old and tired. The cry he and others used to bring down Biden fell on his shoulders last night. Not only did he look old, his talk was not up to par. It happens at his age.

I was shocked this morning to hear Brit Hume on FOX News admit Trump lost. Trump never loses on FOX.

Trump was on Fox this morning. He blamed the loss on the two moderators. Sounded like basketball players who can’t put the ball in the basket during a game blaming the referees for the loss.

My concern  is whether Harris’ performance was enough to make her the winner in the Presidential race. The election is still close. A handful of voters in seven states will decide this election. Will last night or the next two months be enough to prove to them they do not want Trump’s finger on the nuclear button? That is what this race boils down to. Is Trump Presidential timber in this race? No way. Harris clearly showed she was last night.

Today is 9/11. Twenty three years ago.  The devastation, the sorrow. Who ever expected it?

It changed everything for a long time. For some families, even till now.

Permit me to share my experience. Once a year, my bankers and CPA would visit me in my offices to get a run down on our year. It had been a terrific cash flow year. The best ever.

Then I got a call. Turn on the TV.

My clients were primarily large national and international corporations. Loved representing them. They always paid their bills and paid them timely.

I did not receive another check in payment for services rendered for three months. Nor did any other attorneys who did my type work. The corporations stopped writing checks till they determined how things would work out violence wise. Life went on even though I was not paid. I still had payroll to meet and other expenses.

How life changed for some closely involved in 9/11. Rudy Giuliani for example. One of America’s heroes that day. Look at his status today. Let me add he probably is in the position he is today because of his relationship with Trump.

We’ll never know what Einstein’s last words were as he died on a hospital bed. His nurse did not speak German.

It was 452 A.D. Attila the Hun stood with his army before the gates of Rome. The earth trembled as they had approached Rome. His barbarian horde had scorched Italy, leaving death and destruction in their wake. Attila was cruel and arrogant. People referred to him as the Scourge of God.

Instead of Rome’s army meeting him, an old white haired man in shabby clothes walked to him and knelt. It was Pope Leo I. A feeble elderly man who wanted to save his flock.

The two talked.

History reports Leo said to Attila: “The people of Rome, once conquerors of the world, now kneel conquered. We pray for mercy and deliverance…..We pray that you, who have conquered others, should conquer yourself. The people have felt your scourge. Now they would feel your mercy.”

Attila capitulated and left leaving the Vatican and Rome untouched.

Religious historians claim Attila retreated without causing any deaths or damage because as Leo spoke to him, Attila saw two apostles flanking the Pope. The apostles, Peter and Paul. They were standing over the supplicant Leo who was kneeling before Attila as he spoke. Flashing flaming swords.

Attila saw an army ten times greater than his own behind Leo. Also with flaming swords in hand.

Attila retreated.

The religious aspect of the story has little solid proof. However one thing is certain. The humble Leo on his knees convinced Attila to walk away.

As a result, Leo became the first Pope to be known by “Great” following his name. Leo the Great.

Some sexually related tales from yesteryear.

This a live and learn one. I took several English classes in college. A lot of Walt Whitman. College for me was 1953-1957.

Never heard of Walt Whitman being gay. Yesterday read Whitman and Oliver Wilde may have had sex together. Both homosexuals.

Advertising in the days of Roman brothels. Roman brothels had pictures of the prostitute’s specialty above the door to her room.

Blackbeard and his crew of pirates had a special horn that they inserted into their personals. The horn was then used to flush mercury inside which was believed to be the cure for syphilis.

In World War I, British spies would use semen as invisible ink for their letters.

Benjamin Franklin was a sex hound. Respectfully stated. He enjoyed sex with older women because they couldn’t get pregnant. He wrote literature on the topic.

Embarrassing! French President Felix Faure died while being orally copulated. He was with his mistress Marguerite Steindheil. Their relationship had been ongoing for some time. The French President referred to her as his “physiological advisor.”

As the story goes, when the Presidnet died one of his hands had a handful of Marguerite’s hair in his fist. They had to cut away a part of her scalp to remove it.

Faure’s demise was news immediately. His method of death caused Marguerite to be dubbed “la pompe fandre.” Meaning “funeral pump.”

Oh, the embarrassment of it all!

Enjoy your day!
