Hunter Biden should be given a pardon for all his past mistakes and immunity to testify for whatever he believes needs to be said.
In this Congressional hearing Hunter Biden showed up because it was televised. He wants to be heard by the American people and Congress needs to allow him to do exactly that.
It is a little late to prepare but the people will need some education (click here).
For those taking medication be sure a sufficient supply is in the house.
This is from the Des Moines Register
They have been menacing the shipping channels for a long time. Until recently the USA presence was able to maintain some control. But, the Houthis with Iran’s help, are now using drones and missiles. This is an entirely new menacing profile for the Houthis and it is without a doubt far more dangerous.
This is not an escalation in the Israel-Hamas War. Israel has no arguments directly with the Houthis as it does Hamas. I believe the Houthis hate. They are using the war with Hamas as an excuse to carry out hate directed death.
This is not new, it has just become far more dangerous and simple measures don’t work anymore.
The USA along with the United Kingdom are doing the right thing. Every American and Brit should be proud of their country and it’s capacity to enforce peace when violence escalates.

Earth’s moon is sacred territory. It is our satellite directly related to the gravitational stability of Earth, ie: tides. That is only one example.
We already know Lunar Landers have caused moonquakes. Enough already.
The manned missions to the moon that began in 1968 were a magnificent achievement for the USA, but, that is where it should end.
If countries want to explore space then do so in space and not Earth’s only satellite. No way stations, no nothing!
I found the idea of cremated remains being placed on Earth’s moon a huge ethical issue and it should never have been considered. Those canisters are now floating remains forever. The egos involved in wanting a cemetery plot on Earth’s moon is appalling.
Molecules and atoms matter and Earth’s moon needs to be returned to pristine condition and the USA should lead the way.
Space exploration is about planets and those that can support human life orbiting around a more youthful sun.
End of discussion!
…needs to reconsider continuing his campaign for the Republican nomination for president.
His silence is completely understandable. The United States of America is involved with at least two wars, one as an ally and the other as munition procurement.
Defense Secretary Austin loves this country and protects it with his life, including allowing any enemy of this country feeling empowered by perceived weakness. Defense Secretary Austin stood under his own power to tell the nation of his diagnosis. He is still on the job.
A grateful nation wishes him all the empowerment available to see him and his family through a difficult time. I am looking forward to more of his leadership. He has and will continue to protect us everyday.
He stands for everything I believe in, freedom, fairness, unions, but mostly the strength of the American Middle Class. Every month as critics are looking for the weakness in the USA economy there are more and more demands for workers. No real critic can figure it out. Why isn't the American economy collapsing? Why? Because the American Middle Class is protected, nurtured with the vision of equity and empowerment for all Americans.
Joe Biden is a great president. He reclaimed our democracy and now he needs to protect us one more time and he is willing to do it. This is a great speech.
"...everyday people...can govern themselves without a king or dictator..."
The idea of the USA at the time of General George Washington was and is "One of the highest moral lessons ever given the world."
Why is it that humans have to a aggrandize their own existence?
Quite possibly the best synonym for Anthropocene Epoch is death.
In 1922 British geologist Robert Lionel Sherlock (click here) published a book, Man as a Geological Agent: An Account of His Action on Inanimate Nature, that put forth what is now considered to be the central argument for recognizing the Anthropocene as a new geological epoch: the scale and character of human activities have become so great as to compete with natural geological and geophysical forces. One hundred and one years later geologists have broadly rallied around Sherlock's core idea, and the Anthropocene Working Group—a committee of scientists (including me) who report to the International Commission on Stratigraphy—has proposed Crawford Lake in Canada as the official site for marking the Anthropocene....
When the dinosaurs all died did they call it the Triassic Epoch? No, it is called the Triassic–Jurassic (Tr-J) extinction event (TJME).
Mexico is an ally. There is nothing to fear. Mexico and the three Northern Triad countries of Central America are all allies to the USA.
These countries are overwhelmed with the climate crisis. A secondary issue is the drug cartels, but, they are dealing with the climate crisis as well.
The migrants coming into the USA illegally face many problems and it is those problems that brings them to the USA. It is survival. Many are climate refugees. As allies facing a different struggle than war they come to us for relief. The majority of those crossing the USA border are poor and destitute without violence in mind or munitions to threaten anyone they meet at the border. The cartels are the only violent threat to Border Guards.
The migrants would still be home if the USA right wing extremist Republicans didn’t end the progressive programs of the USA to build those countries into stronger allies. Sure there is corruption. But, our programs were working, including priorities to end that corruption.
So. All the hubbub about the insecurity of the USA southern border is nothing but politics. There is absolutely nothing to fear from these people. They are being treated as chattel by the southern border states and being shipped north. The northern states need support from the federal government to absorb all the costs that go along with housing them, providing medical care, and processing them.
Anyone know how many immigration courts are in the northern tier states?
(click here) It would seem as though migrants to the USA, be they legal or illegal, are peaceful people. They love freedom.
The USA is a mighty nation of mostly moral people. Being the only remaining Superpower is an inconvenient responsibility and unfortunately Americans don’t have the luxury of looking the other way.
It is time Americans become aware of successful programs ended by the Trump White House of the very countries now shedding citizens as migrants headed north.
None of the Northern Triad governments are promoting Illegal migration.
There is nothing to fear. I will say this, as illegal migrants come unprepared for cultural differences including language and the free flowing gun supply in the USA there is crime. But, that is more reason to incentivize the successful programs through USAid to these people to remain in their own countries.
The bottom line is the Republicans that are now in seats in the House and Senate are completely wrong in their priorities. It is highly unethical for freely elected officials to use their power to cause problems that lead to their own politics.
Fully fund Ukraine, Israel and return progressive programs to Central America.
So much for peace talks. Peace talks would require a ceasefire. Anyone care about this ceasefire?
Czar Putin has decided Russia is winning the war with Ukraine. Why? Politics. This is Putin Politics. Destroying Ukraine and rebuilding the Soviet Empire, not the USSR, but the former Russian Empire IS Putin Politics. Death has no limits to his ambitions. But, there is another reason he cited.
The other reason Is because the USA Republican Party has waved the white for the sake of their politics at the southern US border.
See, Czar Putin believes the war with Ukraine is a war of attrition, as does the free world, but, for very different reasons. The Free World views Russia declining in every aspect of sovereign authority but bolstered by its allies. Russia on the other hand does not see the will of the Ukraine people diminishing, only their associations with First World countries becoming delinked from the support Ukraine has received.
It is easy to look the other way as the USA did with WWII until the war came to Pearl Harbor and a sunken Lusitania. That is what will happen in the war with Ukraine.
As the USA Republicans play politics with the US southern border in order to keep their House majority, the wars in Ukraine and Israel will fall into disrepair and disorder. The focus of the American political system will shift from national security to international apathy only to find the enemy of Israel and Ukraine will be assaulting US sovereignty and its borders to shift the war from “over there” to here. Once that happens, and it will, Hezbollah and Venezuela are near border threats, what will NATO due with a two front war at Polish borders and in the USA?
What will happen then to a vibrant Middle Class and American economy as terrorists’ threat once again haunt Americans? What will it look like as NATO deploys on eastern borders to protect the European Union from Russian ambitions?
The absolute political foolishness of the extreme right wing of the Republican Party as demonstrated by the priorities of the U.S. House Speaker is a threat to American national security and every ally we have. As our resolve weakens to protect democracy at every turn the true ambitions of China will be felt in the Pacific and the question will become can the USA fight a three front war with terrorists domestically weakening the resolve of a once indomitable nation of Free People?
Israel and Ukraine require full backing from the Free World to maintain democracy as a viable governance to progress the future of peace and prosperity.
They don’t care about their own self-interest. They are stupid and like it that way. The reason they love Trump is because he is as stupid as they are in sticking it to “the system” and declaring bankruptcy over and over as a business practice. He is the ultimate knuckle dragger and they love it. He is an abject failure of capitalism and they believe in it as if a religious doctrine.
They like being stupid along with their sexually exploitive pastors and maintain cultural stupidity as a profit motive.
To prove my point further, Knuckle Dragger Extraordinaire is the US Speaker of the House. His entire district is a failure and example of how “the party” is served before the people.
The Speaker of the House should be an example of how to legislate best to serve the people. The current Speaker is none of these things.
I don’t believe Trump’s involvement is in question and conservatives are ignoring the 14th Amendment. Something is wrong in the USA. The Supreme Court is throwing election authority to the States and the conservative judges ignore the 14th Amendment. There is something far afield when a court considers insurrection a political issue.
Shame on Michigan.
