A 2026 Blue Marble Album Quiz involving presidents & elections.

In the background is the tallest educational building in the Western Hemisphere. 
I live at walking-distance from it.  Okay then, class.  Let's take a quiz.

1} What is the greatest difference between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris?

     

ANS:  Donald Trump didn't have to spread his legs for Willie Brown, in order to get a launch into politics and the endorsement of a famous United States senator.  Plus ...

... Kamala Harris never created a private sector job, in her life.  Donald Trump created many ... many private sector jobs that have a "positive return on investment."

2a} What is the one huge similarity between Abraham Lincoln and Charlie Kirk?

ANS:  Neither one went to college.  They were both self-taught.  

2b} What were the other four similarities between Abraham Lincoln and Charlie Kirk?

ANS: 1] They were both natives of Illinois.  2] They were both very tall men.  3] Both were despised by Democrats, and 4] both were assassinated.  When you are shot for your political and/or moral stance ... or if you are shot, to get you out of power or to keep you from getting into power, you were assassinated, and not merely murder.

3} What do 16 percent of those who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 all have in common?

ANS:  If they had known that the Hunter Laptop was real ... and NOT a Russian hoax ... they would NOT have voted for Joe Biden.  That amounts to 13 MILLION voters.

4} What do Al Gore, John Kerry, Hillary, and Kamala all have in common?  

ANS: In their November elections, each one received between 48.2% to 48.4% of the Popular Vote.  They basically all received the same percentage of the vote, each time.  

Observe:

Al Gore was the democrat party nominee in 2000.  He received 48.38% of the popular vote and actually won the popular vote.   John Kerry was the nominee in 2004.  He received 48.3% of the popular vote.  

Hillary was the nominee in 2016, and she received 48.2% of the popular vote.  She, too, won the popular vote, as did Al Gore.  

Then, in 2024, Kamala Harris was the official nominee, even though she received ZERO primary election votes in 2024 ... and even though the "back-room" selection of her, by democrat party career politicians, was democracy-destroying Cronyism.  It was an OUTRAGE, explaining one of the reasons why I officially left the Democrat Party in July of 2024.

In the 2024 presidential election, Kamala received 48.3% of the popular vote.  Thus, 48.3% is the reoccurring Losing Number for a failed Democrat Party Presidential Nominee.

The significance to Answer Number 4 is twofold.

Significance Number 1

It shows that the popular vote percentages of the democrats who LOST THEIR ELECTIONS in 2000, 2004, 2016, AND 2024 ... in combination with the numerical popular vote counts of all of the Republican Party nominees since the Year 2000 ... were basically the same voter trend.  

I]  This means that there was NO RUSSIAN COLLUSION ... or any other type of collusion ... in 2016, being that the vote results were a part of the same one long-term voter trend.

Significance Number 2

II] This fact also shows that, no matter how much campaigning she would do ... and no matter how much money she would throw into her campaign ... Kamala Harris was going to get no more and no less than 48.2% or 48.3% of the vote.   This number comes from County-Level political party voter registration percentages, throughout all of the United States.  In 48.1% of the counties of the United Stated, the majority of voters are registered democrats.  Thus, this teaches us that Americans are Creatures of Habit.

The guaranteed 48.3% of the popular vote for Kamala is because 77 million voters already had their minds made up, due to the Biden Administration's incompetency which included the incompetency of its DEI vice president at the time ... and also due to the immoral political platform Kamala promoted, being that the United States is still heavily Christened, very scriptural, and very pro-life throughout large territories of Continental America.

The Statistical Evidence Proving the USA to be a very Pro-life Nation

III a] A tree is known by its fruits.  The fact that the United States has more than twice the population of Russia is evidence that the US is a pro-life nation.  This is because Russia was a heavily pro-abortion nation in the 1990s.  Observe:

Between 1992 and 2008, the population of Russia dropped by 5.8 million people.  Since 2008, until the pre-war year of 2020, Russia's population only grew by approximately 2.5 million.  Since the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War, Russia's population dropped by approximately 1.5 million people.   

III b]  In the exact same time span of 1992 to 2008, the United States' population grew by 47.5 MILLION people.  Then, from 2008 until the pre-war year of 2020, the US population grew by another 17.5 million.  Thus, Kamala was 100% wrong.  The United States is a strong pro-life nation.  

III c]  Today, the estimated population count is:  Russia = 146 million.  The US = 342 million.  There are 196 million more Americans than there are Russians.

Kamala's Arrogant Assumption which Fell Flat on Election Night 2024

IV]  At the end of her failed campaign, Kamala was trying to win on the pro-abortion vote, claiming that women throughout America were going to go to the voting booths in large droves on November 5th, in a mass mandate.  It didn't happen.  Kamala merely got the same percentage of the popular vote as did the election losing candidates Al Gore, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton.  

Kamala ignited no new movement ... no change.  Nothing about her was inspiring, being that she incited hatred against whites, Catholics and other respecters of the Bible which the Catholic Church preserved with exactitude, due to its faithful monks through the centuries.

V]  Continental America ... in wide expanses of American territory ... was too moral and too pro-life for Kamala Harris.  Tens of millions of Americans did NOT want to pay for the abortions of healthy pregnant women whose lives were not in medical danger.  And the majority of these 77 million voters did NOT want to pay for sexual pervert surgery, along with the endless pharmaceutical supply of artificial hormone manipulation in humans who will continue possess the XY chromosome of a male human.  

Of course, American cities ... which happen to not cover as much terrain as rural America ... harbor immorality.    

In fact, city politicians, such as Killer Kamala and Fat Pig Pritzker, are well known liars & consummate hypocrites, according to anyone who keeps track of American politics.   The case is closed on this one.

October Update: While Obese Pritzker & Hyper-reactive Johnson were vehemently defaming Trump and ICE, while doing all they could do to keep the National Guard out of Chicago, 26 to 32 Chicagoans were reported to have been shot by other civilians, in one mere October 2025 weekend.  Five to Seven of those shooting victims died.  This was during the weekend of Fri 0ct 03 to Oct 06.  See for yourself:

https://cwbchicago.com/2025/10/7-killed-26-wounded-in-weekend-shootings-across-chicago.html

In addition, there were 41 fatal shootings in September 2025, out of 148 total shootings.  A certain faction is bragging that this is the lowest amount of September shootings in four years.  Well, the thoroughly incompetent and uncaring Biden Administration was in power in the past four years.  This means that there were high numbers in crime during that four-year era of time.  

In fact, there have been 1,499 Chicago shootings, from January to September 30, 2025, with 323 killed.  And it is 127 less deaths than during the same time span in 2024.  

However, police confiscated 8,824 very illegal guns in Chicago, from January to September 2025.  In September, alone, police apprehended 1,178 guns.  This means that additional law enforcers are definitely needed, due to the deadly potential in the possession of Chicago's numerous criminals.  

Chicago is a War Zone, because it's a Gangland.  This is why Mayor Johnson has a 150 person body guard detail, consisting in 150 duly sworn police officers.  If Chicago were as safe as Pritzker claims, then Johnson would not need 150 "security detail" personnel at taxpayer expense.

Speaking of taxpayers, the City of Chicago is officially $41 billion in debt.  Now, Johnson has only been in power since May 15, 2023.  He accrued $830 MILLION dollars of debt in his first 500 days in office.  

This shows how irresponsible and asinine Kamala Harris was, in 2024, when she wasted 1.5 BILLION campaign donation dollars of 107 days.  She didn't have to worry about city pensions, city pipelines, city infrastructure maintenance, a city fire department, a city police department, city social services, a city rapid transit system, road maintenance, and a city electrical grid.

Yes, Brandon Johnson is a hate-filled & manipulative racist, in trying to keep illegal aliens in Chicago, so as to get them registered as democrat party voters, and to have them increase the populations of democrat strongholds, so as to gain a seat or two in the House, after census reapportionment.  However, he is NOT the incredibly worthless airhead that Kamala Harris is.

BTW, the Year 2024 saw 2,299 Chicago shootings.  The Years 2023 and 2022 had similar high numbers.   And remember, students:

qd electronic cleaner ... brutal chemical exposure ... especially for respiratory patients

 

The asininity of the Democrat Congresswoman who THREATENED Kristi Noem

It's a new day.  Time to get real.

The most important thin to note at the outset is this post:

There's one thing that the US Congress & mainstream media needs to understand.  And it's important to note that this comment is coming from an American-born American who carries a very Latin last name:

The persons in America who want the ILLEGAL & CRIMINAL Latin Immigrants out of this nation more than anybody else does are the LAW-ABIDING LATINS.

In fact, the persons who wanted the FBI to put the Sicilian mafia out of business more than anyone else were LAW-ABIDING ITALIANS.  Capisce?

Do not let yourself remain deceived by the table talkers of the View and by democrat politicians who had such amazing returns on their Wall Street stock investments.  The influx of UNVETTED IMMIGRANTS, during the Biden/Harris years, was a Barbarian Invasion.  It's simply that the Dems hoped to turn these millions of Barbarians into registered Democrats, ASAP.  This is why they wanted to revenge Kristi Noem.  

As far as went "us registered Independents," we realized that Donald Trump could have made a more suitable choice, for DHS secretary.  

However, we assumed that Donald Trump wanted to add the "protective maternal instinct" to that department, as opposed to the "trained fighter" type.  So, a woman from the Rocky Mountains was hired.  

We registered Independents also realized that Democrats in Republican-majority Minnesota deliberately sabotaged Border Patrol efforts, meaning that Jacob Frey & Tim Walz, inter alia, need to be criminally indicted.  They committed Obstruction of Justice and were engaged in Conspiracy of Rights, as in 18 USC 241.  This made Krisit Noem look really bad.

The Dems and the mainstream media have been playing the role of Robespierre, for quite a while now.  Thus, they deserve the destiny of Robespierre.  At this point, let us proceed.  In fact, let us perceive.

To start perceiving, read the following:

If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or

If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured.

They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

By now you know that President Donald J President accepted Kristi Noem's letter of resignation, as Secretary of the Dept of Homeland Security. Oklahoma's Markwayne Mullin has been appointed as her tentative replacement.  

None the less, Kristi Noem has NOT been fired from the Trump Admin.  She is now the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas.  

That job mostly involves preventing sensitive American technology from being exported to places where malice reigns supreme.  That position is not to be confused with the Joint Interagency Task Force - Counter Cartel which is a military unit under the Dept of War's Northern Command.

Preview:  An ILLEGAL immigrant who was arrested more than 30 times in the USA recently killed a Fairfax woman at a bus stop ... in the State of pro-sanctuary-city Democrat, Abigail Spanberger.  Thus, in 2024, Virginians voted to get murdered at will, at the hands of negligent government officials.

Abigail Spanberger is ex-CIA, where you are trained to not abide by your conscience ... literally.  That is to say, CIA policy has been to follow illegal orders ... criminal orders ... immoral orders, thereby negating the purpose of the United States Republic.  This makes Michigan's Elissa Slotkin a total hypocrite, for her appearance on the Seditious Six Video.  Slotkin is ex-CIA.

Qualifying Statement:

You can call Kristi Noem unqualified or negligent or incompetent, but you can't call her a premeditated killer, a terrorist, a traitor, or a criminal against humanity.  HOWEVER, she had excellent results with the Southern Border, and the job of DHS secretary involves more than border security.  

The Northern Border was what did her in.  Her problem was that she was too presumptive.  Negligent.  An embarrassment.  A distraction.  She didn't know how to counter the evils deliberately being committed by and through Frey & Walz.  But, she is not a traitor.  She simply didn't have foresight.

A Congressional "Chump Change Shirley" plays Mr Tough Guy

During a recent US House hearing, an asinine congressional rep told Kristi Noem that Donald Trump will be gone one day, and he won't be around to protect Kristi, any longer ... but that the congresswoman will still be there with her band of Trump hating politicians ... 

... and that she will make sure that she will hold Kristi fully accountable for the actions of others which the congresswoman blames on Kristi.  After all, Kristi was NOT the one blowing whistles in the face of law enforcement agents and ramming automobiles into Border Patrol vehicles, all the while blocking their way to criminals who already had the paperwork on them finished and filed.

The only issue that would be decent to investigate would be the $200 million of DHS advertising, being that each contract was a no-bid contract.  The excuse given by the DHS was that a state of emergency existed at the time, in the USA.  

That can be disputed, even though America was being overrun by UNVETTED invaders who were euphemistically called undocumented immigrants.  None the less, there is a huge difference between Barbarian invaders who rape and brutalize woman and polite people in line, with paperwork attached to their arrival.

Even at that, the verdict on that dispute looks like a coin flip.  Thus, if it's not a brazen transgression, you move on to something more important.  In as much:

What was deadly wrong the "Tough Guy" Congress Lady that she'll still be in Congress, ready to hold Noem completely accountable.

ANS:  The Congress Lady is in the LEGISLATIVE branch of government, and NOT in the judicial branch.  Thus, she has no power to prosecute Kristi Noem.  

Plus, plus, plus, the super-macho female politician neglected to consider the fact that a government official has QUALIFIED IMMUNITY, and can only be prosecuted if malice is involved.  Protecting 340 million Americans from rapists, murderers, cartel associates, financial fraudsters, smash-and-grab thieves, and violent thugs is NOT malice.  It's the opposite.

The most she can do is be part of an impeachment process, and such a thing doesn't come close to the Tokyo War Crimes Trials.  It's the Senate which then becomes the jury, after the House impeaches a federal official.  The House does provide the prosecutors, though.

Since 1789, only 21 humans were impeached by the House.  Fifteen of them were judges, and only one cabinet member has ever been impeached.  None were put to death.  The female, "tough-guy," congress woman was being a Hollywood prop in Washington DC.

Congressional Rep, Congressional Ass

Perhaps the 2026 Congresswoman's response would be that she will get legislation soon passed that will declare all of Kristi's actions illegal and punishable by prison time and fines ... or even by the death penalty.  Now, what is the asininity of such a "presumptive" claim?

ANS:  The United States constitution FORBIDS ex-post facto laws.  Case closed.

The Congresswoman claimed that Kristi terrorized children as a matter of habit, as well as having done evil after evil.  So, what is asinine about that statement?

ANS:  Kristi had ICE agents and Border Patrol agents concentrate their efforts also in WASHINGTON DC, in MEMPHIS, and in NEW ORLEANS, and everything went fine there, for the most part.  No children ... for the most part ... were terrorized in those places.  

In Minneapolis, the activist Karens, the democrat politicians, and the media terrorized the children, by telling them horror stories that were not true.  The dems in Minneapolis also rigged things to look chaotic, so that they could blame it on Trump & Noem incompetency.  

The Minneapolis Dems would not let Border Patrol peaceably take custody of the illegal alien criminal at Minneapolis jails.  And to Frey & Walz I say, Nuremberg American Style, coming soon to a theater or drive-in near you.  And Neither Trump nor Noem will be in charge of it.

And how do I know this?  ANS: Because history repeats itself.  History is like a Dracula movie.  The guy always keeps coming back, doing the same thing, over and over, time after time.  

In Minneapolis, no one was being "suddenly disappeared."  The illegals appeared very visible, in the free-of-charge flights back to their home nations.  Others were quite visible in detention centers that didn't come close to the Nazi German concentration camps in any capacity.  They were closer to summer camp than to Adolph's Doom.

Nothing that happened in Minneapolis ... to the degree in which it transpired there ... occurred in Washington DC, in Memphis, or in New Orleans.  In fact, the New Orleans expedition was regarded as ICE coming, doing their thing, and going, with little extra-curricular incidents.

So, how is it that Kristi Noem had ICE do in Minneapolis exactly what ICE & Border Patrol did in DC, in Memphis, and in New Orleans, with it being declared a crime only in Minneapolis ... and maybe in LA ... and perhaps in Chicago .... but NOT in New Orleans, Memphis, or DC.

Whatever be the activity, anything which is done in New Orleans and is not considered a crime in federal law is that which is done in Minneapolis and is equally NOT considered a crime there.  

Concerning any state laws, federal law always supersedes state law.  So, when a federal law and a state law conflict, the state law is automatically invalid ... non-existent.

Replacement, Markwayne Mullin

We'll see if Replacement Markwayne Mullin is prepared to prevent any Border Patrol occurrence which will be used in Democrat Party propaganda, to incite rioting and to even incite assassination 

The democrats look for any excuse to damn Trump and his people, and then the same Dems hyper-exaggerate it, to the point of triggering anger and ensuing rage.  That's what Frey and Walz did, and that's why they appears in history Nuremberg type trials.

Tough Guy Congresswoman

The vicious Congresswoman made herself look like the asinine buffoon she is, during the hearing.  She spent her time slandering Kristi Noem.  We'll see how much bullying she'll perform on Mullin.

Now, it was the Minneapolis protestors who were crossing the line, committing crimes, one of which was aiding and abetting a criminal or two or two hundred.

And of course, keep in mind that the Democrat Party politicians want illegals kept in America, so that these illegals can quickly be granted citizenship and the right to vote democrat.  It's the Democrat Party's way of rigging the next ten elections.

The Dems also want the illegals to stay ... in democrat party regions, so that the rise in population can gain for the Dem two to four to six new House seats, after the next Census.

Quick Lesson

As a quick lesson, the difference between a Nuremberg-style court and the present International Court of Justice is that Nuremberg-style trials involve actual judges already attached to existent sovereign nations.  

At the first set of Nuremberg trials, two judges each were contributed by the USA, the USSR, the UK, and France.  Four of those judges were placed as auxiliary ones, much like relief pitchers in a bull pen ...  in baseball. 

A World Court configuration involves persons elected for a judicial term who are not practicing judges of any sovereignty at all. 

Today's 15 World Court judges were elected to nine year terms each, by the UN General Assembly.  These are people who may have experience in diplomacy, or in teaching law, or in having been legal advisors.  But they do not bring with them any sovereign nation's coercive power.

All in all, today's World Court has 0% coercive power.  Thus, it's 100% worthless.

Concerning the congresswoman whose name I am withholding, so that this post doesn't get flagged with a complaint of doxing or "hate speech," she is one of those people is dedicated to "giving them France 1789."  

Her role is the role of Robespierre, and perhaps you know what happened to Robespierre.   The Dems seem to have a lot of Robespierre types today.  They're sharpening-up the guillotine blades.

And you will get 1799 Napoleon

History actually does repeat itself.  Those who do not learn from the mistakes made in history are condemned to repeat them.

An about-the-author page would dispel any prejudice, disrespect, or distrust

The reason for the creation of the Blue Marble Album was this:   Americans were being hideously deceived by power grabbers who obviously thought that Americans were the most stupid and gullible people on Earth.  A prime example was seen in the majority of Americans believing in the non-existent Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction.  And of course, this was not the only con game orchestrated by Americans in political and/or financial and/or societal power.  

The con games done by unconscionable career politicians, activists, and arrogant journalists were such an insult to the intelligence of one Pennsylvania native that the deceptiveness called for a response.  Eventually, he would include numerous pieces of photocopied evidence, to support his assertions and declaratory statements in over three hundred writings.  Doing such a thing is equivalent to warning the People of the wolves in their midst.

A lot of such work is found at this site:     https://www.bluemarblealbum.com

Now, the author of this site was a whistle blower more than once, and he paid heavily for it.  This includes him enduring the trashing of his reputation and in him being completely shut-off by those influential powers that be.  This included threats of physical violence,  as well as one actual attempt at very physical violence, done in front of the property owner where the failed attempt was made.  This whistle blower retaliation even included threats to his car.   

An instance of the Blue Marble Album author being a whistle blower who was abandoned & isolated after retaliation is here:

https://www.donaldwuerl.com/2013/06/torquato.html

For the record, Donald Wuerl is now a retired corrupt & unrepentant bishop who became a very corrupt & unrepentant cardinal, during the reign of Nazi Pope Benedict XVI.  Benedict's papacy was the epitome of corruption, as was proven to have been the case, by his butler handing over evidence to certain journalists.   

The media originally made Donald Wuerl out to be the most holy cleric in America, in a long-term propaganda ploy.  However, a 2018 Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report revealed how corrupt this Donald Wuerl actually was.  The Grand Jury Inquest occurred under the supervision of former AG and present governor Josh Shapiro.  For now, let's continue with the original purpose of this particular post ...

... and, let's use photocopies to introduce or reintroduce the author of the Blue Marble Album.

Below: an Honors Society yearbook photocopy of a Catholic college, in 1983.  After his attendance at the Univ of Tampa ... where Patrick Anthony Pontillo ended-up being published in anthology form ... at the age of 20 ... along side national book award winners, a Walt Whitman Award winner, and other laureates ...  he enrolled at a Pennsylvania college where he was taught by one of JFK's former economic advisors.

Concerning the 1983 photo below, the Blue Marble Album author, Patrick Anthony Pontillo, is the one in the checkered flannel shirt, standing in the second row, next to the Clark Kent look-alike.  

 Above:  As far as goes Patrick's status at the time of the photo, he was a first semester senior during finals week.  So, you cannot deny that he was at the top ... at the very top five or so ... of his class.   All the people in that photo had at least a 3.5 gpa. 

One more pertinent note:  In 1983 Patrick was also inducted into the Phi Sigma Iota Language Honors Fraternity, for exceptional achievement in languages ... well you know the rest.  Incidentally, the chapter which inducted him was the Iota Iota chapter. 

As an added note, while at the Catholic college there, during the year prior, Patrick scored a 100% on a national, standardized accounting exam authored by Harvard University.

In fact, the first anthology in which Patrick was ever published sits on a Harvard University library shelf today, as well as on a Northwestern Univ book shelf, and at other college libraries.  So, he has proven himself to have been able to keep pace with the Ivy League.  And you wonder if you should spend time reading his writings?  

His writings contain a lot of charts, graphs, newspaper photocopies, and similar pieces of evidence, to prove the validity of his assertions and declaratory statements.  If you don't want to read his writings, then at least look at all the illustrations.  If you do not want to read the historic newspaper photocopies he posted, then at least read their headlines and sub-headlines.

In addition, Patrick later became a member of the International High IQ Society which is a good additive.  But on its own, it's not worth anything.  With a National Honors Society membership and a Phi Sigma Iota membership, an IHIQS membership becomes a confirmation that you're not dealing with sophomoric chump change, in terms of apprehending subject matter, comprehending the meaning of the subject matter, and then applying a rhythm to cognizance, while developing thought processes in sequences, and conveying the subject matter as if to be showing a movie ... or as if to be taking you through a proverbial Time Machine.

Lineage

It's acknowledged that many an American has a distrust of Hispanics.  This is understood, even as to why this is so, as in violent gangs and the drug trade.  Well, Patrick's last name almost matches a former president of Mexico.  So, he sounds very Latin American.  While in Florida, he was often assumed to be from Central America, until he was heard speaking in his northeastern American accent.

The truth is that Patrick's paternal grandparents came from the Mount Vesuvius part of Italy --- Benevento & Avellino --- near Naples.  In fact, Patrick is part Northern Italian, also.  

In addition, Pat's maternal grandparents came from Southwestern Ireland --- Tipperary & Muintervara (in Kilcrohane ... Munster Province ... on the peninsula between Bantry Bay & Dunmanus Bay.)

Moreover, the give-away which showed Patrick to not have been a Central American ... or NOT to have been the "Spic" people assumed he was ... was whenever you got close to him and saw green-hazel eyes.  You would instantly realize that he was deliberately named after the patron saint of Ireland.  None the less, Pat was called a "Spic," before.

Pat's father was no Central American, as well.  He was a native of Central Pennsylvania.  He was a mechanical engineer for the Armco Steel Corporation who earned the GI Bill & Distinguished Flying Cross, by traveling over the more hostile parts of Nazi German airspace 35 times, in a heavily armed B-24 Bomber.  

Pat also has a sibling who was a metallurgical engineer and a military officer.  In fact, Pat's extended family members are mostly teachers/professors and lawyers, in addition to one electrical engineer.  

He's from a very white collar upper-middle class, country club family.  All members of that family were sent to private academies, for a portion of their school years.  In fact, when you're a member of that family, you are expected to make the national honors society.  Don't judge a last name by its cover.

Back to the Honors Society Photo

Now, when you are looking at an Honors Society photo, you are looking at those at the top of their classes.  You see ten students in the photo above, in a school of approximately 1,750 or so undergrads.  Today, that same school has an undergrad enrollment of approximately 2,400 students.  A few years prior, the enrollment was approximately 2,000 undergrads and 400 graduate students of varying sort.

Below is a letter of recommendation from his philosophy professor.  It and the photo above should help you figure out if this Patrick Anthony Pontillo guy is worth reading.  At the least, his numerous photo-copies of evidence are very much worth viewing.

BELOW:  Patrick's contribution to an anthology published in 2024.

In re:  The Character Assassination Maneuver

Perhaps you know how it goes:  If "they" can't beat you on the issues, they resort to attacking you with character assassinations.  So, if a predictable ad hominine character assassin declares the Blue Marble Album author to be a cold & repressed oppressor who doesn't know what he's talking about ... who doesn't understand humanity ... who can't relate to people ... and who must be avoided or silenced ...  your response is ====>  

Above:  The main subjects in those two photos look like the same one blonde.  They are actually two different women from different parts of America.

And this is yet an entirely different blonde.

  Even though the subjects in each of these two photos can look like the same brunette, they are two entirely different women, from different counties and different backgrounds.

Below:   Ye olde college days.

 For familiarization purposes, how about including work experience in picture form?

For the record, Patrick has done concrete work, carpentry, heavy equipment operating, "heavy landscaping," siding & window work, and he laid a lot of pipe ... as in underground pipelines.  This included relatively large concrete pipes.  In as much, if you walk around Downtown Pittsburgh long enough, you will literally walk on his work. 

Concerning other Pittsburgh work he has done, in order to get anywhere near that work, you need to be a bird or at least someone with a long ladder.  He did a lot of government contract work, even for the Army Corps of Engineers, the Pittsburgh City Engineers, HUD, the URA, the U.S. Dept of Energy, the Pennsylvania Dept of Education, and various "Councils of Governments".   Residential work too.

    

Above:   Some of Patrick's very recent places of work.   You need to be a bird to get near this work.

The achievement in this is that, from 2004 to 2011, he predominately lead the life of an invalid, due to a severe allergic & asthmatic condition which included upper-respiratory reactions such as erythema, splitting headaches, splitting ear-aches, etc.  He won his disability case in 2003.  His disability was declared "a non-exertional disability."  All allergic disabilities are.

It's simply that his old construction company granted him accommodations that no other company would or even could grant.  So, he is still made out of glass, and he only works half the hours he 

used to work.  But, how many people can do this type of work for even 1 hour, and not undergo a painful injury of some degree?  How many people can do such work for an hour and not mess things up?

Incidentally, the most common thing said during the viewing of a recently deceased asthmatic, at a funeral home, is:   "I was just talking to him last week, and he was fine."

The bottom line is that, while Patrick was in his invalid state, the only way in which he could communicate was through writing.  So, write he did.   And then, Politics became the dissemination of lies, on the mainstream media circuits.  So, in response to the mass dishonesty, Patrick had to continue to write ... hundreds of posts ... with lots of illustrations, especially newspaper articles of old.  

One of his accomplishments was that of proving that nothing which happened in the past five years, weather-wise, is new ... and that the charts and graphs of the Biden years had easily provable lies in them, making the Biden-Harris people a clan of  intelligence-insulting liars.

Patrick also did historical society work.  The oldest house  he renovated was built in 1832.  The second oldest house he ever worked-on was built in 1847.   Being a Pittsburgh-based construction worker means that Patrick regularly worked on houses built in the 1890s, the turn of the 20th Century, and the 1920s.  

He also did construction work in Chicago and the Chicago area, as well as in Meadville Pennsylvania, Somerset County, Reading PA, Greene County, and the now-infamous city of Butler, Pennsylvania.

The "heavy equipment photo" above are literally historic.  This is because Patrick was the last heavy equipment operator to perform the final demolition on the formerly famous J&L Steel Works of Aliquippa Pennsylvania.  He removed the last remaining steel mill slab there.  

Above:  Patrick at the former construction company headquarters.  It was a 10,000 sq ft complex, located eighteen to twenty-two blocks away from the Univ of Pittsburgh Cathedral of Learning.

As an added note, Patrick once held four insurance licenses simultaneously.  It was technically known as one Pennsylvania insurance license with "4 powers of authority,"  This included:  1] Life & Annuities,  2] Property,  3] Casualty,  4] Accident & Health which is NOT the same as selling medical insurance which is a topic for another time.  The area to which Patrick was assigned by his insurance company was Beaver Falls, a place made famous by Super Bowl icon Joe Namath.

Posted as proof.  Posted for no other reason.

And then there's the matter of Patrick's sports background, for familiarization purposes.  In the photo below, he's the man in the middle.  

Moreover, while in college ... in Florida ... he hid the fact that he was the stereotypical joke.  This is because, in those days, the cancel culture would cut you off and condemn you, under the phrase, "Oh, he's just a jock."  

None the less, he earned five letters in high school sports and also won a summer league baseball championship on a team which mostly consisted of the teammates of the local championship football team.  But, Pat didn't attend that particular school.  Only he and the shortstop were not members of that championship football team.

And concerning that summer league baseball team, the catcher of the year prior ended up in the Super Bowl and the National Football Hall of Fame.  And of course, during the off-season, football players were known to either get into golfing or to play summer league baseball.  

The bottom line is that certain Florida college classmates were shocked to find out (years after their college days) that Pat was the stereotypical American jock.  He hid that secret very well.

The secret was almost instantly no more, when he transferred to a Pennsylvania college, being that, while he was standing in the exact middle of the campus, a crew of classmates threw him a football and needed someone to throw them passes.  And he refused to be rude.  He was then asked to go out for the football team there, but he had other time obligations.  It was a Franciscan college and not a Division I school.  So ...

                                              Patrick again.

Pontillo's numerous hours of research and writing were actually years of research and writing ... and it was an unpaid public service.   Lots of work for no pay.   He was given a $100 donation once, back in 2014.  But he was never given as much as a penny after that time, and never before so, either.  

It was a matter of years of work done for free, as a public service.  

Even at that, the $100 was given in gratitude for him exposing the corruption of Cardinal Donald Wuerl.  That involves an entirely different website.

This translates into a writer who has no conflict of interest, as in paychecks for things written.  He NEVER got paid to write what he did.  That makes him the opposite of a propaganda puppet.

The recent Supreme Court Tariff Case involved only one of the major tariff laws.

Yes, at times, the ocean waves bring tariff income with them.

Does he ever tell the truth?   Does any politician?

To start, this post is in response to the blatant falsehood told by the Admitted Dyslexic Governor of California who is outrageously arrogant, pushy, rude, and quite low in the ability to explain any law.

Of course, that person is the Gavin Newsom whose legacy thus far includes things such as California tent neighborhoods, despite the $24 billion of taxpayer dollars spent on the homeless crisis ... allocated between 2018 and 2022 ... resulting in an increase in homelessness.   And remember, Gavin's tenure began in 2019.

Moreover, this is the same Gavin Newsom whose California hosts the highest cost of living in the Continental United States and which includes high taxes, as well as the highest per-gallon price of gasoline.  

Concerning this, California has the highest cent-per-kwh electric cost, at 33.75 cents.    Plus, it has the third highest natural gas prices in the Continental United States.  

And of course, the highest gasoline-per-gallon price in the entire United States was $4.62 as of Feb 22, 2026.  That's even higher than Hawaii's per-gallon gas price.

Moreover, as of January 29, 2026,  California had the HIGHEST price for a loaf of wheat bread in the entire Continental USA.  The irony here is that the LOWEST price for a loaf of wheat bread was next door, in the State of Nevada.  

However, Nevada has the third highest per-gallon gas price in the same Continental USA, and 4th highest in the entire USA.

Inviting in the Vampires 

In addition, Gavin Newsom promoted the Biden's Open Door Policy, as well as having had California trapped in Water Rationing, despite the ample water supplies surrounding & traveling through California.  Concerning this, Mr. Roger's ghost called and said, "Can you say Desalination?  If not, then call Saudi Arabia and ask all about it."

In fact, this is the same Gavin Newsom who is governing the stalled teachers' union negotiations of eighteen Calif school districts simultaneously, as of 2026.  

Accommodating Campaign Donors

It's also the same Gavin Newsom who gave orders that ever-so-coincidentally benefitted an occasional donor.  One example is the Panera Bread Minimum Wage "loophole" which amounted to a waiver.  

There's more to cite, but this is not a post about Gavin Newsom.  It's a "Clarification Post" that seeks to undo yet another falsehood being spread by the mainstream media and Democrat Party operatives.  

Don't shoot.  I'm only a registered Independent piano player

{Oh, by the way, I'm a registered INDEPENDENT who doesn't own a MAGA hat of any kind.  I simply realized how pathetic are the present Democrat Party Influencers who happen to be super successful Wall Street Investors, as in ... i-n-s-i-d-e-r you-know-what.}

{Double by the way, the above paraphrased quote came from a Groucho Marx party, where Elton John was a guest.  The original phrase became the title of Elton's sixth album, and it sold 18 million copies.}

The Lie of the Day Club ... well, at least the Lie of the Week

Newsom recently stated in public that "all of the tariffs" were declared illegal, concerning the Trump-implemented tariffs.  False.  Newsom continues to be a LIAR.

Now, I can proverbially go to town on explaining tariff law as it applies to the US Code.  But of course, a reader unfamiliar with me will simply say, "Oh, how do I know you're telling the truth and are not a political operative outlaying B.S. for the general public?"  

So, instead of me explaining things, I present to you the following.  It helps to make things appear a little bit more objective, for the typical novice of Blue Marble Album posts.

Okay class. May I have your attention? Or do you have no class?

For starters, in Gorsuch's Supreme Court opinion of recent, it was stated that Trump "checked the wrong box," when it came to Trump citing his authorization for implementing certain tariffs.  Trump simply needed to proverbially check a different box, and then he would have been "good to go."  Those boxes go as follows:

       And concerning the customary presidential vocabulary:
