Following the Career of Laurissa Romain …

When LPR last mentioned Laurissa Romain she was playing the role of Ngana, the young daughter of Emile deBecque, in the Lincoln Center revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "South Pacific."  Laurissa stayed with the musical through its three-year run. Hard to believe that was more than ten years ago. Now, her proud mom, the noted publicist Laurie Sheppard, tells LPR that Laurissa is an actor, singer and songwriter and has recently completed filming Spike Lee's upcoming civil rights movie, "Son of the South," portraying Freedom Rider Brenda Travis. The cast includes Lucas Till. Lex Scott and the late Brian Dennehy. Laurissa was nominated for Best Lead Actor in the short film "You Were Always Away," at the Nice International Film Festival. Peter Westervelt is the director. Laurissa recently guest starred in the Netflix series, "The Politician," with a cast including Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Platt.  She will next be featured in the film "Kurt," directed by Mike Perrone, about the rise and fall of the career of a model.

A Request from LPR to its Clicksters …

LPR asks you to spread the word about this neo-Tea Party website.  LPR is little more than 25,000 visits from its first million visitors.  If you tell others about LPR, if LPR doubles and triples its numbers, together, we will help the president do what he was elected to do four years ago: DRAIN THE SWAMP. At the present time, the large majority of LPR visits comes from China. Come on America, you can do better. A visit to LPR is a signal that we want representatives in our government, not rulers.

Two more unsolicited endorsements from LPR …

In Asbury Park, N.J., Style Rocket, a clothing and accessories shop at 1200 Ocean Avenue #504.  (LPR purchased swim trunks there)

And the beach apparel shop at Robert Moses State Park, where LPR purchased t-shirts, hoodies, flip flops, a beach towel and sun glasses. It's near the beach entrance where the bus drops off beach-goers.

Ten Cheers to Goya …

...whose CEO did not back down from praising President Trump, after the radical left threatened a Goya boycott.  LPR congratulates the "buycott Goya" campaign, which LPR considers a reward to CEO Bob Unanue for having the courage to stand up to the radical left, the enemy of democracy.   As Edmund Burke wrote,, "When bad people combine, the good must associate...."

The Wonderful World of Google …

LPR's search request for the text of Michael Flynn's motion before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals was: "Text of Flynn motion not to rehear July 21." Google responded, with this question added: "Did you mean Text of Flynn motion not to reheat July 21."

A question for LPR clicksters …

Is LPR the only person who has trouble hearing what people say when they are talking through their masks?  Usually, LPR just makes appropriate sounds, or head gestures in reply.

Concerning the Coronovirus
situation …

LPR believes this illness is too caught up in politics by the Democrats to comment on, further.  Except to point that that worldwide deaths are far below the 1918 Spanish flu death toll,and to wonder why the media has given Gov. Cuomo the status of a hero when the New York State death toll far exceeds that of the other states, and, to boot, he sent coronavirus victims to nursing homes, which apparently led to the deaths of many elderly residents.  (Hint: he is a Democrat.)

Will "Broken Arrow" Be the Next Movie to Be Banished from Viewing?

"Broken Arrow is a Western that told a story about reconciliation between an Apache triibe and white settlers.   BUT, the leader of the trivbe, Cochise, was not played by a Native American but by Ira Grossel, a Jewish actor from Brooklyn -- even if his acting name was Jeff Chandler.  And the love interest of James Stewart was Debra Paget (nee Debralee Griffin) playing a young Apache girl and who was not a Native American either.  As if that isn't bad enough, Stewart was 41 (42 per Wikipedia) when the movie was filmed, Paget was underage, only 15 (16 per Wikipedia). LPR can already hear the deafening protests.

Why is it B for Black and w for white?

LPR noticed recently that in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times African-Americans are also referred to as Blacks and Caucasians are referred to as whites.   LPR is puzzled why such references to skin tones are not uniform, not to say that the usage does not reflect 14th Amendment equality in matters of upper case and lower case usage.

If Joe Biden Should Win on
November 3 …

LPR expects that Joe Biden will go to the Inaugural podium and after the appropriate salutations, he will say that in his administration, his vice president  (Susan Rice?) will play a substantive role, unprecedented in U.S. history.  President Biden will add, "And that unprecedented role begins from this minute on. Accordingly, I invite the Vice Rice --that is, Vice President Rice -- to deliver the
Inaugural Address on behalf of my administration."

An obvious alternative, the Inaugural Address, introduced by the President and delivered by the Vice President, will originate from the Biden basement, site of most presidential business for the next year or so.
