Lorraine Evanoff: New Orleans is one of the grandest centers of great culture, especially Heritage Jazz -- the great Marsalis family -- and the feuding, wonderful Brennan families of restaurants.

Why not do both?

Why not live in the Jazz World of great Weimar while at the same time resisting the neo-Nazism of Brownshirts Musk (Hail Caesar!), JD Vance (the Yale-Law Grad who stupidly repeats the Mediaeval Blood Libel (Jews steal babies and eat the boys and girls in blood rituals -- the POISONOUS RACE-BAITING that launched deadly pogroms -- turning the Blood Libel absurdly on Haitian immigrants -- "They steal your housepets, Oh, My! -- and they eat the kitties and puppies in Blood Voodoo rituals, Oh, My! -- You mainstream media (says Vance) won't print it!! -- Oh, my!!), and the Orange-Coward-KKK-"King" who shamefully betrays like Judas the brave, valiant Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

EUROPE IS PAYING ATTENTION: Macron and the Chief of Staff of the Army, Pierre Schill, promised short term France could send 60,000 troops to the Ukraine Front, and longterm 120,000.

Keir Starmer and Emanuelle Macron are working closely to bolster Ukraine.

CellyBlue -- "I do know this" -- republished promises of Finland's President, Alexander Stubb, to provide stalwart support to Ukraine.

The ONLY success of Trump is this: Trump wants to be an isolationist -- and Europe is ISOLATING TRUMP.

Congratulations, Trump.

So, Lorraine Evanoff, your lifestyle with dear friends having a blast in New Orleans -- Nancy and I lived near New Orleans for 32 years -- that is part and parcel of your personal integrity and together, in culture, even in outrage, we can snub Trump and resist SMARTLY.

My cause is the innocent immigrants that neo-Fascists Vance/Tramp/and sadist Thomas Homan oppresses.

Vivé LULAC! (The League of United Latin Ameican Citizens -- founded 1929 -- to resist aggressions against Latinos.)

The most outrageous artists in cultured, outrageous Weimar and Alexanderplatz (Berlin), were ones best placed to RESIST.

Culture -- including outrageous fun -- is part of the backbone of persons who resist.

It is the Brownshirts -- Orange TRAMP etc -- who are self-loathing and need both hyperbolic praise bordering on worship, and whose self-hatred puts them on the rampage against freedom fighters like Zelenskyy and against minorities.

Please, keep sending these wonderful pictures of you and loved ones in one of America's truly great, internationally renowned cities.

We are your friends and we are with YOU!
