F. E.C. doesn’t even discuss PACs.

(Click here) The FEC discusses individual contributions, but, not political action committees. The PAC phenomenon became popular while “W” was running for office. All of a sudden the IRS code of 501(c)4 became a focus for political issues. I want to stress the idea of issues.

What is curious is the use by Trump of a SuperPac funding his lawyers. Trump’s lawyers do not qualify for the SuperPAC designation.

The IRS code for these SuperPACs clearly states the organization cannot claim it is non-profit. It has to exist for profit. But, the definition doesn’t stop there. The IRS clearly states “must be operated exclusively to promote social welfare.” Trump’s legal fees are not social issues, they are personal costs.

There is also the PROBLEM that Trump’s family is stating any donation should first go to the RNC and then the SuperPAC. The family in promoting donations are not delineating separation of interest between the two entities. Follow?

The F.E.C. may have authority to request clarification of the two organizations and what their purposes are making one exclusively non-profit political organization and one for profit for a social issue. It seems very clear the Trump family is not treating either organization as an exclusive organization so much as two organizations for one purpose and that is Trump’s legal fees. I am fairly certain there is fraud by the Trump family in the treatment of both organizations as the organizations are achieving political donations beyond the FEC limit.

This maybe fall to the D.O.J., however it appears any investigation is most likely within the authority of the IRS. Given the egregious nature of the Trump family and a continued interest for promoting political domination of American elections to instill communism in the USA rather than democracy and the free market system an urgent investigation is needed. There is a lot wrong here and the IRS with possibly the FBI should treat this fraud urgently.

We have more agreement than differences.

I sincerely believe in Israel’s resolve. I would be very surprised if Secretary Austin seeks to change the plans by Israel to end terrorist networks. Hamas has extensive support from Iran’s terrorist networks. There is also a profound lesson in the allowed ISIS attack in Moscow.

I believe the only difference that exists with Israel and the USA is the effort to end the danger to Palestinian civilians. The USA has to have Israel’s cooperation in ATTEMPTING any humanitarian mission. The one element not at that table is Hamas. Hamas is using every humanitarian effort to their favor in leveraging advantages over Israel.

It is a real quandary to me why Americans think the USA has to end the war declared by Israel. This is NOT a unilateral war. This war was declared in DEFENSE of Israel. It is not  Israel’s fault Palestinians are in the line of fire. Hamas is not interested in the Palestinians. Hamas is interested in killing Israelis and any other allies of Israel. Iran and Hamas and their allie don’t care who in the Free World dies. Please get that right! Hamas DELIBERATELY put Palestinians in the line of fire. Israel hasn’t used humans as shields.

Because Hamas and their allies don’t care about the Palestinians does not excuse the death of innocent people, but, it is really difficult to keep them alive and achieve the goals of a war no one asked for.

It is my hopes that Secretary Austin can find a way to address the humanitarian needs of the Palestinians. Israel has to agree. Israel will not compromise its gains and steady movement toward their goals. Again, there are parties, terrorist networks, that will not cooperate and create problems in administering these efforts. This is a near impossible goal by the USA with Israel.

I am sure Secretary Austin will find a way. He needs the support of Americans even through any problems and/or failures. Ending the war is not an option. The USA has national security issues with these terrorist networks even at near borders. Hamas opened Pandora's Box and they are not interested in putting the lid back on.

I wish both these defense authorities the best outcome with good efforts to have Palestinians understand their loyalties lie with the Free World and not Hamas.

The video at “Voice Of America” covers more time before the accident. It is a difficult video to watch knowing what is coming. There were definitely cars and a semi-truck traversing the bridge that made it to safety off the bridge. 

It appears the construction crew was near the second pile (click here) exhibited by flashing lights. The pile opposite of the crushed piling by the boat. The missing construction crew is most likely found nearer that area of the river, also providing for a strong river water flow. Cranes have to be put in place to move massive and heavy debris. Those cranes have to be found and moved into place atop an artificial island. This doesn’t happen immediately. Normally extensive plans exist before the cranes are moved into place when construction occurs.

This is so bizarre and tragic. Construction works carrying out the public interest are vital to everyone’s best interest. Americans came to appreciate public workers when the trauma of September 11th occurred. They were vital and fearless members of our society seeking to saves lives that horrible day. My sincerest sympathies for these lost workers’ families and friends. This is a traumatic loss for the country as well as the city. These families should receive support to help adjust to their loss. I wish them all peace. Their loved ones are heroes for their important work.

Every American knows President Biden’s faith. Most Americans believe the choice of faith or no-faith is a privacy issue. Evangelical practice is not practiced by the majority of Americans, yet, they make headlines because money has come to impact politics and power in the USA. The point is persons such as President Biden should feel free to talk about God. Not in excess as there are so many other policy issues that need discussion, but, the political platform currently has a few voices when it comes to religion.

I find that most religious folks have a favorite or family bible. It would be helpful if President Biden and First Lady Jill would balance abusive hawking of the Bible by presenting the affection that exists for personal bibles, family bibles, and the place for the good book in display in a home. 

The Bible has become a political tool rather than a personal choice. It is very, very wrong to blur the line between church and state. It would be helpful if that balance was restored.

As a side note, the Golden Sneaker was one of the items touted by Gorbachev’s glasnost and perestroika. The Russian Golden Sneaker was a huge flop in marketing.
