No USA president has a right to attack a Pope.

Pope Leo carries the lives of all the people of this Earth regardless of their faith in his heart. His day to day burden is incredible. Every Pope in my life beginning with Pope John XXIII has guided morality and compassion. There is no hate in their heart.

It is shameful, as if Trump cares, for a USA president to attack any Pope living or dead. Pope Leo is above reproach and that is all any president needs to know. 

Donald John Trump owes Pope Leo an apology. Asking for forgiveness will do Trump a world of good. Pope Leo is an American. He is a man of accomplishment to be proud of.

Charlie Kirk Case

I read something about the ballistics of the bullet not matching the gun. The FBI better have good forensics on that roof top. With the lack of DNA evidence there is no case. There are no witnesses. The DNA evidence will be strong but still circumstantial.

I will give you my take on this. 

The wound Mr. Kirk suffered was an assassin’s wound. The bullet severed the jugular vein. There is no rescuing that. Holding pressure isn’t going to do much good. It is a large vein that drains deoxygenated blood from the head, brain, and face. It was a fatal shot. 

That shot, unless it was a lucky chance by an amateur, was carried out by a marksman. The knowledge of anatomy enters the picture. That is not a kid with ideas. That is a practiced marksman.

My question is why would anyone want to kill the guy? He was a wiseass Republican with dictatorial discourse that young Republicans found entertaining. They tried to mimic him because he made money at it. My best guess is that someone was jealous of him. Not for his wife, but, for his success. Who would be so jealous of him stealing the Republican limelight his death would be desirable to hire an assassin? I am not convinced it was a rooftop. It was a precision shot.

Straits of Hormuz

The Persian Gulf was seeing uninhibited ship traffic until the peace talks were abandoned by Trump. As soon as the peace talks broke down ships began to navigate away from the Persian Gulf. 

There is no indication of mines in the Gulf.

The allies don’t see the Gulf as a problem. That is why they are not participating in silly blockades.

There won’t be any ship traffic because the shipping companies worry more about the USA than Iran. The USA always has its finger on the trigger. That is the issue. It is the USA complicating the entire picture with Iran.

I don’t see peaceful use of nuclear energy as a hurdle. The IAEA would have to be involved as the damage to Iran’s infrastructure is so extensive. They would need experts assessing the return to the use of nuclear power.

The uranium used for peaceful power is different. When the talks broke down the holds on Iran using enrichment for military use broke down as well. The Trump administration is dangerous in it’s inconsistent policies and dictatorial style of foreign affairs.

It is time to move the Prime Minister’s trial along.

It is also time to dissolve the war cabinet. His corruption trial and pending trial of human rights abuses are separate proceedings.

The war does not have the backing of the soldiers.

Giving orders to service members who oppose the killing of innocent people won’t get them anywhere. It is not a military unless the soldiers believe in the fight. American soldiers do not see morality or competence. Some have died because of pure stupidity in Hegseth’s leadership. The soldiers are correct to leave when they aren’t safe from their own leadership.

We do need more angry young Muslim men in the world.

The civilian death toll in Iran alone exceeds 3300 which includes children and the elderly. In Lebanon the death toll is approximately 2000 civilians. These are deaths in a war of choice.

It would be neglect if he didn’t lead.

Prime Minister Carney has garnered the affection of the Canadian people and the loyalty of its Parliament, dare I say at all levels of government. 

Canada must lead in a vacuum of moral leadership. Canada is on the move with rather incredible plans and a future that is bright.

The Canadian people are great people. I look forward to their new and bright future.

Those statements about money and personal comfort is not a radical statement. Higher taxes on the wealthiest changes nothing about their lifestyle. So, what is the problem when draconian tax cuts hurt the American people? Lower political contributions? That is good for the American people, too.

Who was Vance talking to?

It wasn’t Rubio and Trump. China is taking over issues with Iran to prevent genocide.

(Click here)

The USA and Israel are colluding to carry out genocide.

Perhaps the Former Vice President Pence will recall this man.

Trump was provided all kinds of grandeur by Israel. A square in Jerusalem, I believe, named for him. In return he moved the USA embassy to Jerusalem. That pandering to power was followed up with land in Israel named for Trump that would someday be a settlement. The Palestinian Embassy was moved to the basement of the building where the USA embassy was relocated. Of course, that would ensure the Palestinians would not attack the USA Embassy now in Jerusalem.

After Trump’s defeat in 2020 the white supremicists of organizations like Heritage Foundation came to understand their dream of a purely Christian population on Earth was going to fail. They enlisted all kinds of people that hate along with some billionaires to push Trump over the top in 2024. Interestingly enough it is my understanding many of the Heritage Foundation executives have jumped ship. The actual reality of being connected to genocide and treason was too much of a reality for them.

But, here we are now after instilling important limits on military destruction and killing to find out it wasn’t General Milley that was traitor, but, Trump and Hegseth that pledged their country’s military to religious zealotry. 

See, the path is easy to see. Venezuela is about Hezbollah. Venezuela was supposed to fall to the freely elected President who pledged loyalty to Trump in providing him with the Nobel Peace Prize.  Venezuela’s leadership thought differently and regardless of capturing Maduro still does not have regime change. Trump, acting as a criminal pirate stole Venezuelan oil. But, why? Additional fuel for what was to come? 

After wrecking his own ships in the Caribbean Hegseth decided to send the flat top to the Middle East to bring more aircraft as overkill. Once in place Hegseth began a merciless campaign against Iran, the Shi’ite nation hated by the Sunnis of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. So, destroying Iran’s government would not only be a thank you for Trump’s Palace Jet, it would solidify Israel’s ambitions as well. What could go wrong? 

The Truth, Donald. That is what could go wrong. 

The USA’s greatest aspiration was always global peace and prosperity. Always. The morality was safe until now. Trump has turned his wealth ambitions into temptations for every form of hate and greed within his reach and his bargaining chip was the greatest democracy ever to have existed with a defense force unmatched by any country on Earth.

The joy ride of Netanyahu and Trump is over. They will never annihilate populations of people to satisfy some kind of idea of the perfect godlike Caucasian population. It’s over. The people of the USA will never again be faced with such engineered oppression and death regime. Never again.

There is a method to this madness Former Vice President Pence.

I don’t know of a more devout Christian that has risen to one of the most highest ranks in our civilian service to the USA. However, he also was a great patriot that protected the USA Constitution. VP Pence could never imagine a world where the USA deliberately caused harm to innocent people regardless of their faith.

The USA military needs a system wide assessment.

Hegseth is pushing the military too hard. 

Repairs during battle cannot replace regular maintenance. There is no reason for the excessive wear and tear during peacetime. There should not be excessive use of the military by the Executive Branch because it assaults “readiness” should the country actually need it.

I don’t see the war with Iran as a national security issue. It should not have occurred. As far as I am concerned this is all political theater and not a sincere threat. 

The assessment needs to start where the highest use exists as well as where soldiers have been moved from their normal duties creating a greater timeline between safety inspections. My estimation is that readiness is stretched to near breaking point. A year of abuse is a lot to wearing away from readiness.

Maintenance and safety inspections need to override use. Such safety and readiness inspections doesn’t even begin to address inventory from milk to missiles.

The Pope isn’t coming here.

The Pope is rejecting the hate that is everywhere in this country. 

Everywhere!

Why would the last great superpower need a draft?

This aggression by a USA president put into perspective the perilous future of this country. 

Vietnam was a war of choice with catastrophic numbers of dead both on the USA side and those of the Vietnamese. Today the two countries are friends through efforts by Americans like the Late Senator John McCain. 

The war into Afghanistan was justified. It would not be until a decade or so later that Osama bin Laden would be brought to justice. Unfortunately it was necessary for the Navy Seals to kill him but it was justice just the same. 

The Iraq War was illegal. I believe it was a war for oil and in exchange the Shi’ites were a target. I am quite sure there is not a document that says that. Saddam Hussein was brought to justice in Iraq, tried by Shi’ites for evidence found in mass graves of his atrocities. 

I believe the aggressions in the Middle East are unjustified. Here again the administration is obsessed with oil and are attacking the Shi’ites. 

It is time for the Israeli War Cabinet to be dissolved as the issues surrounding October 6th have been amply resolved.

The reality of the USA being the last great superpower has mostly been validated. It has been a reality for decades. 

It is time the USA bring its military prowess into perspective. It is time to end the oversized behemoth of a military. There is no reason for it. As soon as the USA begins to allow reasonable attrition of the military the rest of the world will, too. I sincerely believe we drive countries that oppose us to nuclear proliferation and militarization in even the poorest of countries. Realizing the aggression of this administration there is every reason to justify those military build ups. 

It was only a short time ago when France was on the verge of denuclearization. What stopped it? Trump’s apparent abandonment of NATO forcing uncertainty in Europe’s national security. 

Hegseth is welcome to destroy as much of the USA military as his incompetence allows, the mistake the American people will make is rebuilding it. 

It is far too easy for the USA to launch into war. The bullying of Venezuela was astounding. It also was accomplished with weapons never intended to be used. Those weapons need to be destroyed with a pact through the United Nations for cooperation with other countries to do the same.

The attack into Venezuela was one thing, but, the confrontation of Iran was a totally different thing. The USA military and all its magnificent soldiers are coveted by countries with lesser military capabilities and personnel, but, frustrated with issues they believe can be solved by war. 

There is absolutely no reason to expand the volunteer age to 42. There is less of a reason to demand Selective Service have a supercomputer filled with every Social Security number ready to assign a military code to their name for a military draft to satisfy more aggression and less national defense.

   

The Republicans have plans for our children not yet understood or known. The Inited States military is not a bargaining chip to close any deal or decide one religion has more purpose or correctness than another.

The United States has a magnificent space program in Artemis which could use more funding for ambitions yet realized. The military industrial complex is ready for a do over to fill benevolent needs and ambitions of the American people.

Peace awaits us, but, it will escape us if we allow a military to destroy everything in its path.

USA military draft

The Republicans have long wanted mandatory military service by young Americans. In the National Defense Authorization Bill of 2026 the Selective Service will automatically register any and all Americans at least 18 years old starting December 2026. Americans no longer have to pick up an application and register. It is done for you. Probably through Social Security numbers Americans now receive at birth.

Recently the eligible service age for volunteers increased to 42 years old. 

Something is brewing in the Republican agenda as of today they voted down a bill submitted by Democrats to end the war Trump started with Iran 33 days ago. 

Why go through all this trouble of guaranteeing every American is registered for the draft if the military is to remain a volunteer force and there is little reason for war? Legally the military is still the Defense Department, but, no Republican is demanding Hegseth end the his preference to rename it. 

This December, after the Midtems, the Selective Service can easily begin a draft and start  mandatory service. This is a Republican rule of law when the Democrats are trying to end Trump’s aggression. 

Risking criticism of Isreal

Israel has entered into a ceasefire agreement with Iran. That also includes Lebanon. Hezbollah may still be there in some capacity. Iran is the mother ship. Just that simple. Iran is not willing to allow the deaths of its diaspora.

Israel in the other hand has not brought any threat from Lebanon to the international community. What Israel has stated is it wants a land buffer with Lebanon. There has been no formal discussion with Lebanon. It looks more like a land grab than a land buffer. 

Why are bombs falling and people dying. Entire Lebanon lives have been disrupted in Israel’s demand for a land buffer. The ill was not dry on the ceasefire when Israel turned to more military efforts in Lebanon. Israel has to be the worst peace partner in the world.

The issues with Lebanon should have been brought to the ceasefire talks and not a surprise to all parties, except Israel. 

Lebanon was not involved in December 6th. Hezbollah was not involved. It was exclusively Hamas. That is a fact.

So, the attacks into Lebanon are unjustified except in the logic Israel practices.

If peace is to be achieved it includes all the players, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The Shea Crescent cannot pick and choose its attacks either.

This ceasefire has potential and it should not be minimized because of some antiquated ideology.

This is today.

This is what is possible.

Trying to continue a war that should have been settled a longtime ago is pure foolishness. There is no way Iran is going to consent to denuclearization if this mess of an ideology continues. Israel has a responsibility to its people and its neighbors. No more violent incursions.

The countries of the Middle East want peace. 

It is time it happens.

No more killing.

Pro-Iran armed factions in Iraq announce 2-week halt in attacks

Pro-Iran armed factions in Iraq announced on Wednesday a two-week halt to their attacks on "enemy bases" in the region after the start of a ceasefire between the United States and Iran.

"The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announces the suspension of its operations in Iraq and the region for two weeks," the alliance said in a short statement on Telegram.

Iraq later reopened its airspace, which it had closed due to the war, its state news agency said.

Continuing hostilities is not okay.

2 cities in Bahrain targeted despite 2-week truce in Iran war

Explosions were heard in Bahrain's capital Manama Wednesday morning, according to an AFP journalist, hours after the United States announced a ceasefire with Iran.

The Gulf kingdom's interior ministry said in a statement that civil defense crews had succeeded in controlling a fire that broke out in a facility "targeted by the sinful Iranian aggression."

Separately, the ministry later said two people were slightly injured and "a number of houses were damaged in the Sitra area as a result of shrapnel falling from the interception of an Iranian drone."

The EU have anti-corruption laws.

Why is Orban exempt?
