I wonder if anyone watching this live are wondering how many Americans are sleeping on the streets tonight while they party? Poverty only exists because government refuses to lift people out of it. Cut the military budget in half and it’s over. Period!

doesn't know all the dreadful things that were pushed forward by the DDE administration. Ike golfed and let the Dulles brothers and others run things.

@Marie It would help explain some of the discrepancies; I know the ousting of Mosaddegh happened on his watch (the way I heard it, the CIA were actually the patsies that time around, for MI-6 and BP). I've barely even heard of the Dulles brothers.

Download or read book entitled The Devil's Chessboard written by David Talbot and published by HarperCollins online. This book was released on 13 October 2015 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An explosive, headline-making portrait of Allen Dulles, the man who transformed the CIA into the most powerful—and secretive—colossus in Washington, from the founder of Salon.com and author of the New York Times bestseller Brothers. America’s greatest untold story: the United States’ rise to world dominance under the guile of Allen Welsh Dulles, the longest-serving director of the CIA. Drawing on revelatory new materials—including newly discovered U.S. government documents, U.S. and European intelligence sources, the personal correspondence and journals of Allen Dulles’s wife and mistress, and exclusive interviews with the children of prominent CIA officials—Talbot reveals the underside of one of America’s most powerful and influential figures. Dulles’s decade as the director of the CIA—which he used to further his public and private agendas—were dark times in American politics. Calling himself “the secretary of state of unfriendly countries,” Dulles saw himself as above the elected law, manipulating and subverting American presidents in the pursuit of his personal interests and those of the wealthy elite he counted as his friends and clients—colluding with Nazi-controlled cartels, German war criminals, and Mafiosi in the process. Targeting foreign leaders for assassination and overthrowing nationalist governments not in line with his political aims, Dulles employed those same tactics to further his goals at home, Talbot charges, offering shocking new evidence in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. An exposé of American power that is as disturbing as it is timely, The Devil’s Chessboard is a provocative and gripping story of the rise of the national security state—and the battle for America’s soul.

"Overthrow" by Stephen Kinzer is also helpful. Iran and the first decade of the Vietnam War were both on Ike's watch. Of course the Cold War flourished.

This is not even original. It is a rip-off of the Soap Opera General Hospital's Nurses Ball.

The Nurses' Ball is founded in 1994 by Lucy Coe as a fundraiser for HIV and AIDS awareness and research. It is held at the Port Charles Hotel (where the Metro Court Hotel stands today), and attended by most everyone in Port Charles. From 1994-1995, philanthropist Jon Hanley served as co-chair, until his own death from AIDS. The event includes acts by various citizens, including singing, acting and dancing. Lucy emcees the event, often with Katherine Bell, and has become notorious for usually end

The Nurses start the show by doing a number almost identical to this one.

@The Liberal Moonbat Sorry about that. That's what I get for cutting and pasting. What happens is that at the end of the show, Lucy loses her clothes in some kind of mishap and ends up in her underwear. It's a running gag. The actress is probably in her 50's now and still looks good.

The Nurse's Ball is usually in May or June. They did not have one this year due to Covid. It's very entertaining. Many of the actors are also professional singers and dancers so they get a chance to show off their other talents.
