Tiny Tim (born Herbert B. Khaury; April 12, 1932 – November 30, 1996) was an American singer, ukulele player, and musical archivist.[1] He is best remembered for his rendition of “Tiptoe Through the Tulips” sung in a high falsetto/vibrato voice.

Tiny Tim was born in Manhattan, New York City on April 12, 1932. His mother was Tillie (née Staff), a garment worker, who was the daughter of a rabbi. She had immigrated from Brest-Litovsk as a teen in 1914. Tiny’s father, Butros Khaury, a textile worker, was from Beirut, Lebanon and his father was a Maronite Christian priest.[3][4][5]

In a 1968 interview on The Tonight Show, he described the discovery of his ability to sing in an upper register in 1952: “I was listening to the radio and singing along; as I was singing I said ‘Gee, it’s strange. I can go up high as well.'” He then entered a local talent show and sang “You Are My Sunshine” in his newly discovered falsetto. Although he stood 6 ft 1 in (185 cm),[7] he started using the stage name Tiny Tim in 1963 at the suggestion of his manager George King.

Introduction

Walter Burien Jr. worked as a Wall Street Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) for fifteen years, but now resides in Arizona.   According to Mr. Burien, every state, county and major metropolitan city is keeping two sets of books. One set (the ‘Budget’) is commonly available and tracks each governmental entity’s casts and tax revenue.   The Budget is the financial record that’s seen by the public and used by politicians to justify new governmental services and higher taxes.   Continue reading “Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFRs)”

Lawsuits are mounting against the Obama administration’s new requirements for transgender care, but the issue might turn in challengers’ favor under the incoming Trump administration.

The Catholic Benefits Association, which represents more than 700 Catholic employers including many hospitals, filed a lawsuit in federal court Dec. 28 in an effort to get its members exempted from the rule. Five states and several other Christian healthcare providers are already fighting the requirement in another case against the rule. A Texas judge halted the rule over the weekend.   Continue reading “Lawsuits pile up against Obama administration’s new transgender care rule”

Just a day after the cable network hoped to silence criticism on its Ku Klux Klan-centric docuseries “Generation KKK” by changing the title, the network has now canceled the show all together.

In a statement, the network said it scrapped the series (which had been renamed “Escaping the KKK”) after discovering that participants on the show, including Klan members, were paid to participate by production company This Is Just A Test.   Continue reading “The controversial KKK series is canceled after A&E discovered Klan members were paid”

As the story goes, there is a painting somewhere in the vast hallways of the Smithsonian museum which shows British soldiers boarding a sailing ship, muskets in hand. The ship is in an American port, and the soldiers are returning home after the War of 1812.

There is a problem with this picture which may not be immediately apparent to the casual viewer. Our history books tell us that the British lost that war. History should also tell us that the winners in a war usually (but not always) take the guns away from the other side. So, why were these British soldiers boarding their warship, guns in hand?   Continue reading “Attorneys, as Esquires, are not Citizens of the United States of America”

In 1917, under President Woodrow Wilson, the U.S. Congress passed legislation titled Trading With the Enemy Act.  The objective was to stop any American from trading with our enemies and the allies of our enemies, during  World War I.

Sec. 2(c) of the act defined “enemy” as foreigners and countries who were at war with the United States.  It specifically excluded American citizens as enemies.  Sec. 5(b) specifically excluded transactions of the American people.    Continue reading “Trading With the Enemy Act”

As a divinity school student, I had just started working as a student chaplain at a cancer hospital when my professor asked me about my work. I was 26 years old and still learning what a chaplain did.

“I talk to the patients,” I told him.

“You talk to patients? And tell me, what do people who are sick and dying talk to the student chaplain about?” he asked.    Continue reading “What do people talk about before they die?”

Fully Informed Jury Association

In our discussions of juries, it’s important to remember the Founding Father’s gave us the common law “people’s” Grand Juries, which many people are now actively reinstating, one county at a time. The common law Grand Jury is the fourth and highest branch of government that’s superior to the other three, which the corporate government has been usurping and using against the people, until now. Please read the information below and consider your part in such a powerful GRASS ROOTS endeavor as a support to the work of the FIJA.   Continue reading “Common Law Grand Juries”

“It is easy to conceive that great evils to our country and its institutions might flow from such concentration of power in the hands of a few (bankers) (who are) irresponsible to the people. Controlling our currency, receiving our public money, and holding thousands of our citizens in dependence…would be more formidable and dangerous than a military power of the enemy…”
