Lebanon

There can’t be all that many Hezbollah fighters left in Lebanon. The demise of Hezbollah goes back to the beginning of confrontation by Israel. September of 2024 thousands of pagers exploded killing and injuring thousands of Hezbollah and bystanders.

Israel has tracked Hezbollah in Lebanon for as long as I can remember. Every once in a while the lone article appeared in the news that a truck loaded with munitions was exploded by an Israeli missile in southern Lebanon. So, the conflict has been an ongoing problem. But, continuous conflict in Lebanon is appearing to look like expansionism and not the removal of Hezbollah from Lebanon. 

Iran is demanding an end to the hostilities by Israel in Lebanon. For as unpopular as this will be, I think that is correct.

Hezbollah is not the only population in southern Lebanon. There are people called Lebanese now displaced from their homeland. If there is to be a true peace, one that settles the argument of Hormuz and ends the conflict between Trump and Iran, there cannot be another fighting force to pick up where the USA left off. 

There is also the issue of religious lineage of the Shi’ite faith. Nasrallah is dead. His neighborhood was destroyed. Israel is not contemplating spiritual genocide, is it? 

There are many reasons to end the hostilities. But, it must end even if there was no reason to end it. War becomes murder when it is endless.

The commercial mariners caught in the middle of the war between Trump and Iran are suffering. They did not imagine such a thing could be their reality. They do not have food and water in sufficient quantities.

Iran knows the importance of charity among the Muslim faith. This is not fair. It is wrong to use innocent people as pawns in a very wicked set of circumstances. 

The agreement will be signed and it is important the mariners receive relief now. There are 14 dead already. This is a horrible tragedy especially to realize these mariners have families they support with their work on board these civilian ships. 

The waters where these commercial ships are currently hostage must be viewed as neutral territory to allow humanitarian efforts to bring relief to their suffering.

Please. No threatening moves, but, allow their companies and/or their countries to bring in food and clean water. These mariners are innocent. It is time to end any and all violence toward the ships and allow relief supplies to reach them. Allow them to send their sick to hospitals and their dead to their families for burial.

All I have is love for you brothers.

 Nothing but love.

Domestic Gun Regulations

It has always been a State's Rights issue. That is not politics. A state like Alaska people live at a distance from law enforcement. These folks hunt while among wildlife differently than someone in Los Angeles. In densely populated states such as New Jersey or Rhode Island the idea of an automatic weapon carried freely on the street is simply an outrageous danger to people. Part of owning a weapon is knowing how to prevent it from being used against you and others. Open carry invites all sorts of problems. 

It is unconstitutional but Trump unilaterally removed any and all gun regulations. That is going to include automatic weapons like the Tommy Gun, the most important arm of racketeers. Welcome to domestic terrorism.

Hegseth is toxic.

The thread was from yesterday.

Hegseth is destroying readiness through chronic fatigue both of the personnel and assets.

There was a “Major Accident Response Exercise” at the time of the deaths of the B52 crew. This is a chronic strategy to wear down the integrity of the USA military. The Stratofortress is a backbone of the USA nuclear triad. 

The Trump Administration is an enemy of the American people.
