President Trump and the Queen of England

We all know the left wing American news media (Newspapers and Television Stations) hate President Trump. No matter what he does, it is always wrong. I am not saying he is perfect. He makes his mistakes. But these left wing news media write with a vengeance against President Trump.
 
Yesterday, he visited England and met with the Queen of England. All the left wing news media have the following complaints:
 
Trump is clueless and breaks all protocols.
Trump and Melania defied protocol and did not bow or curtsy.
Trump and Melania opted to just shake hands.
 
What is this? Give me a break.
 
American President does not bow or curtsy anyone except God. America’s founding fathers fought hard so that they bow to no leader. (As a matter of fact, no one, except the British subjects, are required to do curtsy to the Queen of England.)
 
Americans stopped serenading royalty after 1776. Someone should tell the left wing news media what happened in 1776.
 
Yet when liberal actress Susan Sarandon broke Royal protocol a few weeks ago by approaching the Queen and introducing herself, the left wing media thought it cute and charming. They even wrote “the Queen loved it”. I am not making this up. Look at this headline:
 
 
Trump as an individual may be a bad guy. But, did England give the due respect to the President of the United States? If USA was not involved in World War 2, the whole of England will now be speaking German as their first language.
 
I hope Trump wished the Queen Happy 4th of July.

Dog Robber

Dog Robber? I heard this term for the first time today. Then I did some research. Here is what I found out.
 
During American Civil War, enlisted men in the army were called “Dogs”. The commander of the army unit had a personal assistant. His job is to get the best available things for the commander = Food, Clothes, Liquor, Girls. He would most of the times steel from the enlisted men (Dogs) and bring to the commander. In other words, the personal assistant will obtain whatever his superior wants by any means necessary, legal or otherwise. Therefore, this personal assistant was called Dog Robber.
 
During World War 2, this name was changed to Aides in the US Army.
 
In India, they are called Orderly or Aide-de-camp. Even police officers have orderlies in India. Though they are not supposed to do any personal household work, it is what they do all the time.
 
Here is an interesting story. There was an Army General in India. His daughter went to a name brand university in a city in India to do a special course for 6 months. The General transferred a Major (who knew the local language and familiar with that city) to that city for 6 months on special assignment. His assignment? Take care of the needs of his daughter.

Spelling Bee

Indian origin kids have dominated the Scripps National Spelling Bee Championship. They have now won 7 years in a row and all but 4 of the last 15 years.
 
This blog and this picture is to recognize those kids. This is not a made up picture. This picture was taken in a school in the East Coast of USA. I just blacked out the faces and the names to protect the innocents.

(After thought) Please take a closer look at the word "spelling" in this picture.
 
 
 
Congratulations to all Spellimg Bee Champions.
