PRESIDENT BIDEN AND TOM HANKS TO DELIVER REMARKS AT BOB DOLE’S FUNERAL

 

Theresa Longe

December 10, 2021

The of praise following on Sunday of & nbsp ;, the longtime Senate leader and former presidential nominee, mourned both a man and a more outwardly collegial era as Republicans drive the country toward another debt ceiling deadline crisis and party leadership downplays & nbsp ;.

 

The dangerous remembrances, though, often overlooked ” perhaps, ironically, in the name of a bygone decency ” Dole’s complicated legacy.

 

The Kansas native, who suffered grievous wounds on the battlefield during World War II before becoming a titan of late 20th century American political life, was in many ways emblematic of the Republican Party’s & nbsp ;.

 

< It was a narrow concession, though more than the vast majority of GOP officials would openly concede. For an aspirational Republican to take a hard stand against Trumpism today is an invitation to be run out of office or the party itself. Georgia's conservative Gov. Brian Kemp, for example, is expected to get on Monday, when former Sen. David Perdue plans to announce his candidacy, because of Kemp's unwillingness to kowtow to the former President's election lies.

 

The danger for Republicans in risking backlash from Trump has further complicated business on Capitol Hill, where Congress is facing a series of year-end challenges that GOP lawmakers are either fueling or refusing to help solve.

 

Only eight senators remain in office from when Dole carried the Republican standard into the 1996 presidential election, when he was handily defeated by the incumbent Democratic President Bill Clinton. On Sunday, Clinton was among the high-profile members of his party to honor an old rival.

 

“Bob Dole dedicated his entire life to serving the Americanpeople, from his heroism in World War II to the 35 years he spent in Congress. After all he gave in the war, he didn’t have to give more. But he did, “Clinton tweeted.” His example should inspirepeople today and for generations to come. “

 

It's all about Trump

There was plenty of patriotism on the menu last night at the Washington Hilton in D.C., where Tom Hanks was honored at the Heroes and History Makers gala, hosted by Elizabeth and Bob Dole and sponsored by her eponymous foundation that supports military families and caregivers.

 

The event drew a bipartisan crowd of more than 600 military veterans, caregivers and well-heeled Washingtonians. Hanks serves as the Chair of the foundation’s Hidden Heroes campaign, which raises both funds and awareness for the people who care for veterans who’ve sustained physical or mental trauma on the battlefield.

 

Savannah Guthrie, who served as the evening’s emcee, is the campaign’s newly appointed ambassador. Senators Susan Collins of Maine and House Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi also received the foundation’s first Congressional Caregiver Awards for championing the Hidden Heroes cause in Congress.

 

According to everyone present, Dole is as charming and persuasive on the Hill as Hanks is in Hollywood: “When Elizabeth calls, you will say yes eventually, so you might as well just do what she asks right away,” remarked soon-to-be House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

 

The spouse of an injured military veteran and caregiver herself, Dole first recognized the significant, and largely unseen, need for caregiver support during her husband’s 2010 stay at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. In a speech that aimed to both buoy our national unity and rebuff partisanship, Dole said, “Leaders who can look beyond superficial divisions and see the good in one another are more effective in solving our nation’s biggest challenges. … That’s what great leaders do — they don’t pass the blame or responsibility to someone else, they stand ready to make the hard decisions and live with failure or success.”

 

As for Hanks’ involvement in Dole’s organization, it all started when the two connected after Hanks helped her husband with the planning of D.C.’s WWII memorial.“I was in the Rolodex — I was on speed dial,” Hanks affably joked. “I told my staff, ‘I’m headed out to meet with Senator Dole. When I come back, I’ll be involved with something.'”

Headquarters

In 1994, Dole announced that it would finalize its plans to build its world headquarters on a 30-acre (120,000 m2) site owned by the company, located north of the Ventura Freeway in Westlake Village, California. The decision had been delayed by groundwater contamination tests and reviewing of possible site plan revisions. Having submitted its plans for final approval by the Westlake Village City Council on February 9, 1994,[26] Dole completed construction and opened its new world headquarters building in May 1999.

 

Following the 2021 merger with Total Produce, Dole plc has world headquarters in Dublin, Ireland and US headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina.[19]

James Dole, who founded the Hawaiian Pineapple Company, went to Hawaii in 1899, five years after his cousin (once removed), Sanford B. Dole, had become first president of the republic, following the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy.[47] Although his elder cousin was involved with the takeover of Hawaii, James himself was a teenager living in Massachusetts at the time of the overthrow.[48] However, the company's commercial activities would not have been possible without the later annexation of Hawaii to the United States,[49] which resulted in the removal of high import tariffs on Hawaiian products.[50]

The tourist attraction known as the Dole Plantation was established in 1950 as a small fruit stand in the middle of Dole's original pineapple fields. In 1989, the fruit stand was transformed into a plantation home mounted on what looks like a hill of red dirt, characteristic of Wahiawa. The plantation home became a living museum and historical archive of the life and work of the industrialist. It is located off of Kamehameha Highway (Route 99), at 21°31′32″N 158°2′15″W.[12]

 

The plantation features the world's largest maze, grown entirely out of Hawaiian plants. Originally built in 1998, it lost its place in the Guinness Book of World Records until it was expanded in July 2007. The maze covers 137,194 square feet (12,746 m2) and paths are 13,001 feet (3,963 m) long.[13] The "Pineapple Express" is a two-mile (3 km) train ride through the plantation that is fully animated, while explaining the history of the pineapple. The plantation garden tour gives information about North Shore, the Hibiscus, native species, the Lei, irrigation, Bromeliads, the Ti Leaf, and Life on the plantation.[12]

Agape?

 

Here’s why Tom Hanks’ The Lost Symbol movie, a part of the Robert Langdon film franchise, was canceled, and eventually adapted into a series of the same name. Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol is the third installment in the established Robert Langdon timeline, dealing with the Harvard symbologist’s race against time in Washington D.C., which purportedly hosts an ancient portal promising apotheosis. As director Ron Howard and leading man Tom Hanks decided to skip this text in the movie franchise, The Lost Symbol was transformed into a series featuring a younger Langdon. The show premiered on September 16, 2021, and is available for streaming on Peacock.

 

Despite dealing with a wide range of secret societies, underground cults, cryptic documents, and monuments laden with religio-cultural significance, all Dan Brown novels follow a formulaic approach in terms of the Robert Langdon narratives. The explosive success of The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons on the big screen can be attributed to the intricacies of the plot, which branches out like a maze and unites discordant elements and symbols across history and time. While The Da Vinci Code dealt exclusively with the lore of the Holy Grail lore and its related symbolism, Angels and Demons forayed deep into the crypts of the Vatican’s best-kept secrets, and the existence of a society named The Illuminati.

It is interesting to note that The Lost Symbol deals exclusively with Freemasonry and the quest for a higher knowledge that allows man to ascend into divinity. This, of course, plays out in quintessential Brownian fashion, with Langdon at the nexus of the mystery, exacerbated by the kidnapping of Langdon’s mentor, Peter Solomon (Eddie Izzard). In an interview with CinemaBlend, Hanks explained that while he and Howard worked on The Lost Symbol for a while in order to gauge whether it would work, they came to the conclusion that the plot was too reminiscent of the first two films in the franchise. The exploration of Freemasonry in The Lost Symbol echoed the theoretical dilemmas touched upon in Angels and Demons, while also mirroring the Priory of Sion and The Knights Templar in The Da Vinci Code.
