The 50th Anniversary

The UK and USA signed contracts on trade. The other nations did not.

Joint Statement (Click here)

I find the joint statement on wildfire to be timely and important (click here). Adopting a “whole society) approach is most interesting. It means citizens don’t have to seek modernization alone. Government among these nations now recognize the problem with climate can’t be leveraged by consumer interests alone. That is a very important first step and will carry over to COP in the future.

Silly to assume Iran is alone.

A world war is not the answer. A treaty on nuclear non-proliferation is the only solution with Iran. They can't use nuclear anymore. It causes too much concern over danger to other regional countries. Please stop this craziness. It makes no sense.

A day after Israel attacked Iran on Friday, (click here) a cargo plane took off from China. The next day, a second plane departed from a coastal city. Then on Monday, yet another departed, this time from Shanghai – three flights in three days.

Data showed that on each flight, the plane flew westward along northern China, crossing into Kazakhstan, then south into Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan – and then falling off the radar as it neared Iran.

To add to the mystery, flight plans indicated a final destination of Luxembourg, but the aircraft appeared to have never flown near European skies....

I think the Governor is correct.

Monitoring gatherings will have to be necessary. Hopefully, with enough oversight peaceful assembly will not be sacrificed. Continuing violence will defeat the people as they assemble to stand up for their country. It is important people can assemble without danger.

Following 911 and then COVID-19 there were always complaints from people that were louder than reason demanding relieve from danger. This is going to take awhile. There are a lot of guns on the street in the USA.

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) on Thursday declared a state of emergency and activated the state’s National Guard in anticipation of protests across the state — and in response to “civil unrest” across the country.

Missouri Executive Order 25-25 declares a State of Emergency and allows the Adjutant General to order service members to aid state officials.

The order comes after the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Missouri National Guard and Missouri Department of Public Safety established a Unified Command to monitor situations across the state and prepare local law enforcement....

Here is a review of the seriousness of our society surrounding this decision.

Oh, one other thing. That was a Tennessee law and not a federal law.

Ohio has a much more supportive law. Child growth and development must be important to have a happy, healthy country.

The Columbus City Schools Board of Education (click here) approved a policy that complies with a state law requiring parental notification for transgender students, but added a caveat that the board said will protect them in case of abuse or neglect.

The board vote on June 17 adopted a modified model policy that makes Columbus City Schools compliant with state House Bill 8, which proponents call the "Parents' Bill of Rights" and includes a requirement that the district inform parents about any request by a student to identify as a gender that does not align with the student’s biological sex.

Board President Michael Cole said the board wants "to ensure that children have every bit of advocacy they need on our side, policy-wise and in terms of administrative guidelines to ensure that they're protected."...

Transgender youth or adult is NOT an ideology, never was or will be.

Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (click here) will close its Center for Transyouth Health and Development and its transgender surgical program in July, citing federal and state-level funding pressures.

The hospital told families in an email that there was “no viable alternative” to closing the clinic, one of the nation’s largest, citing “the increasingly severe impacts of federal administrative actions and proposed policies,” including an executive order issued by President Donald Trump earlier in the year.

The center’s last day of operation will be July 22, according to the email, which was signed by clinic leaders including Paul Viviano and Kelly Johnson.

Earlier this year several hospitals in the United States suspended their child transgender programs after Trump’s order “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,” which moved to halt the “maiming and sterilizing [of] a growing number of impressionable children” due to transgender ideology....

It is terrible when people are this ignorant. There is no national security or international security risk of transgender people. This is political nonsense intended to raise fear and hate. There is supposed to be some political alignment with Trump when the fear sets in. It's an unbalanced way to promote a political campaign that can do real life harm to people.

The fear mongering by the Trump people never stops. Whatever is in the headlines is fair game.

As Minnesota reels (click here) from a series of shootings targeting Democratic lawmakers and their families, Donald Trump Jr. is baselessly claiming that transgender people are in fact the biggest domestic public safety threat, despite no clear evidence that this is the case.

“In leftist states and in blue states, they don’t want to enforce [the law] because they understand that’s their voter base, no different than immigration, so rather than follow the law, they’d rather let them get away with it so they vote for more Democrats again,” Trump said of recent anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles and “No Kings” demonstrations.

Hundreds have been arrested at the ICE protests, while smaller contingents were detained at “No Kings” events across the country, which were largely peaceful....

Agner Fog (click here)

Are humans violent or peaceful by nature? We are both. In this ambitious and wide-ranging book, Agner Fog presents a ground-breaking new argument that explains the existence of differently organised societies using evolutionary theory. It combines natural sciences and social sciences in a way that is rarely seen. According to a concept called regality theory, people show a preference for authoritarianism and strong leadership in times of war or collective danger, but desire egalitarian political systems in times of peace and safety....

Six political Neanderthals.

I firmly believe the problem for transgender women in sports is because of the delay in treatment.

Being trans is not a mystery. It is a matter of genetics. It is not a choice or a popular idea that can adversely affect children. I do believe the public does not understand it enough to converse about it. The public’s understanding is completely wrong.

The children are definitely affected by the delay. They can’t completely identify with their correct gender. Those are heavy psychological tolls. I think the psychological impact can be dangerous to the individual especially in their teens.

This has to be addressed. It can’t simple go away. There needs to be a universal standard to follow. It is not about drag queens or sports, it is growing up with the correct body as soon as the pineal gland starts to retreat. This isn’t a topic for political debate. There is a clear path. I am not going to change my mind.

The path must bring the family along with the child.

Betsy DeVos

The roots of Republican destruction of the USA Education system stems from people like DeVos.

 

Betsey DeVos believes in a cast system to rule society. Follow her life for decades now, while she has been generous and there is a children’s hospital named with the family name, that generosity ends with the public school system. 

It is long known that Betsy DeVos believes children born on farms should be working the farm for the rest of their lives. Basically, slave labor. 

All that makes sense to people like DeVos who spent $1 million on a structure on her property to celebrate her son’s high school graduation. After the party was over it was torn down not to be identified as belonging to any other purpose or person. 

Betsy DeVos is filthy rich. Why not keep the wealth in the family and buy the power within a political party to do so?

Look, there are just so many top of the ladder jobs in the USA, why allow any paradigm shift that could rattle the family fortune? With wealth being the only important factor in obtaining power there should be a ruling class of elite American citizens to make decisions for everyone else.

That is it in a nutshell. That is what Linda McMahon is trying to wrestle to the ground. 

It is okay for people to pay taxes, but, the taxpayer should not be burdened by how it is spent because they are of inferior intellect. The wealthy are wealthy because of their superior gene pool. Royalty if you will. 

So.

The assault on the public school system has been a point of contention with Republicans for a long time. So long it is a problem with their gene pool. But, then we all should have such problems, huh?

The school system of the USA started long before the Declaration of Independence and a tea party in Boston. So what we inherited as a democracy was vastly imperfect to accommodate a new and highly dynamic country that would grow and spread west from the Thirteen Original Colonies. But, we as a democracy was willing to work with it. Hone it, if you will. 

This country belongs to the people and there are many tired of the elitist attitude of wealthy Republicans that grabbed power in the name of their god, MAGA.

Only one word is needed here, and even Trump says it well at his first failed assassination, “Fight!”

ICE doesn’t know he is one of the good guys?

ICE has stooped to raiding asylum hearings now.

Who are these ICE agents? They don’t seem like Americans. I have a difficult time believing the agents are so troubled by an innocent government official. This is ridiculous.

This is all high profile stuff to continue the propaganda on Truth Social. This mess is causing real danger to people.

JCPA

 The Iran Nuclear Deal that Secretary of State Kerry participated in was to end a nuclear threat in the Middle East.

Iran was and is not today a direct threat to the USA. There is a threat to allies of the USA, hence, Secretary Kerry brought important leverage to those talks.

If Iran was allowed to continue to weaponize its peaceful nuclear program it would hold unreasonable power over every country within reach if its ballistic missiles including Turkey as well as Israel. No country would be safe, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and on and on. 

The JCPA was successful as well as enforceable by the United Nations’ nuclear authority. Rather than enforcing the JCPA, Trump played politics with it hoping to garner the political support of the American Jewish community. When Trump won his first election  he withdrew from the Iran Nuclear Deal and the Muddle East was left with a bare bones treaty that Iran basically ignored. Why? Because without the full weight of the USA behind the treaty Iran was once again boss with intention to escalate enrichment.

Israel today, after being successful in Gaza, turned to Iran to end the nuclear threat.That is where we are and Trump has 90 days of authority to assist Israel without movement to a declaration of war by the USA Congress. Of course, there is no reason to declare war on Iran as it is of no threat to the USA or allies now that Israel has destroyed it’s nuclear facilities.

My point of view means nothing, but, in my opinion war reparations to Iran will be astronomical if this destruction continues. There is also the issue of deaths of civilians.

Trump needs to clarify surrender. The Iranian people need a homeland, so, the only rational understanding of surrender is a signed document relinquishing all nuclear capacity. Sort of like Grant and Lee. Or. FDR and Churchill and Stalin at the end of WW II.

I don’t see Iran vaporizing into nothingness, which might be a difficult concept for a racist president.

The people of Tehran need to run for their lives.

They need to leave the city. We have seen these evacuation messaging before. They mean it. Do not hesitate in denial of the burgeoning cruelty. Pack belongings and leave.

Trump has 90 days.

Trump is threatening Khamenei with death if he does not commit to a full surrender. Really? By what means can our deranged President make those threats? The USA is to support Israel. This is not the USA’s war.

Threatening another country’s leader that poses no threat to the USA only proves how strange and destabilizing Trump actually is. He doesn’t know his place, abandoned the G7, and actually believes he can dictate to the world.

Trump’s a political coward.

Trump is afraid he will lose the criminals that voted for him before. He wants those people on the street just as vicious and hateful as he can get them.

Trump should be out front denouncing the hate and violence, but, why should he waste his time? This is what he wants. This is what he has been speaking about. Trump should be making plans to attend the funerals of these great and slain people.

Trump doesn’t care about human life.

He could not care less about any American in the USA except perhaps his family. It is real easy for him to kill so long as he has a rat hole to disappear into when the bombs start falling.

Trump was probably feeling very uncomfortable at the G7. He had to answer questions like, “Why did you reassign Greenland with the North American military directorate rather than leaving it with Europe’s deployment ?”

Or there is the issue with Canada, like, “Why did you deploy an entire Arizona National Guard Military Police unit to Alaska for a year? MPs? What are they going to do kill endangered Polar Bears?

Being at the G7 is far different than sitting in DC issuing presidential decrees. Very different. Trump will have to have answers he isn’t prepared to handle. It is easier to pretend to be needed by Israel.

Nuclear Triad

Trump better know where every submarine in the Russian and Chinese fleet is right now!

“New START” expires in February 2026. We have no such treaty with China or North Korea.

The UN Security Council should be convening to stop this madness. They cannot displace 10 million people. There is no viable route for the rehoming of the entire city of Tehran. This us insane.

(Click here)

Trump left the G7 to kill people?

Where are the Saudis in this? These are the Shi’ites. Iran holds the only sovereign country the Shi’ites call home. 

Netanyahu needs to take a huge step back from this brink. He is wiping away Palestine in Gaza and now the Shi’ites homeland?

This is madness. 

Where is Ali Khameni? Someone needs to reason with him. There must be a peace table. 

There are nearly 10 million people in Tehran. What does Trump mean evacuate Tehran? What the hell is going on? This is not reasonable. 

I know the Saudis are Sunni, but, there has to be someone to reason with Iran.

Please. This is the home of 10 million people.

There are too many guns on the street.

Innocent people are being gunned down by just being an American. We are back to Al Capone. 

These were all peaceful demonstrations and a cop/peacekeeper allowed a gun to take an innocent life. This is not crowd control. Why are police carrying live ammunition to a protest by innocent citizens. 

When exercising crowd control there are choices to be made, carrying live ammunition into a crowd of innocent people is not one of them.

(Click here)

The peacekeepers are a vigilante group called “50501 Movement.” It sounds as though the peacekeeper was actually there to cause a mass killing event rather than defending a peaceful demonstration.

(Click here)

50501 Movement (click here)

I think the facts behind peacekeepers and the death of a bystander is clear as mud. Who the heck is the shooter? Why hasn’t Salt Lake City defined what happened here?

There are far too many guns on the street. Cities need to take example of New York City on New Years Eve and provide for safe demonstrations rather than opportunities for mass murder. There has to be better control of the danger in society right now. 

Ordinances, local ordinances, must be passed to facilitate police to provide safe venues where participants are screened for guns, knives, or any other potential mass murder weapon. 

The gun wackos are on the loose. We saw it in the deaths of Congress persons and we are seeing it in Salt Lake City. The “tone” of the country is hate and fear. It does not breed safety. There are methods to bringing this under control while protecting police and maintaining our democracy.

Americans recognized enhanced control over violence after September 11, 2001. They will recognize it this time, too. They will cooperate. We are dealing with domestic terrorists and their actions are beginning to become common place. This is mimicking. It is fueled online. 

This is the case Trump used to instill fear and hatred.

There is no doubt this is a tragedy no American condones. But, for a president to express hate and fear to an entire half million Venezuelan people for deportation is an astounding abuse of power for political satiation of racism.
