Food insecurity in the military

Spousal unemployment is mentioned as an issue, but, food insecurity of military families is unconscionable (click here.)

This is where cuts in Food Stamps by the Republicans in Congress is simply disgusting.

PFAs

Nationwide testing (click here)

One of my concerns is that if there is a Republican majority in both houses of Congress the movement to end these toxins will be hauled. That is especially true if a Republican or Independent is elected into the executive branch. 

Gaza

A lot of good can happen in four days of peace. Why is Hamas being difficult in stating who of the hostages will be released? 

Having these people in this kind of danger is idiocy. It is the worst possible example a star can set.

The idea "the show must go on" is no longer relevant to today's world. How many people have to die to make the climate crisis real?

Taylor Swift, (click here) one of the world’s most successful and wealthiest pop stars, has come face to face with the climate crisis in Brazil during her global Eras tour.

Fans struggled through a Friday night performance in Rio de Janeiro as extreme heat and humidity hit the city, with many complaining about poor access to water. Last week, temperatures in Rio topped 39.1C (102.4F), but it was the humidity that made the unseasonal heat even more dangerous. The heat index — essentially the “feels-like” temperature combining heat and humidity — reached 59.3C on Friday and 59.7C on Saturday. The show for Saturday was postponed until Monday due to concerns for people’s safety.

Much of the focus has been centered on a tragedy: 23-year-old Ana Clara Benevides died in hospital after collapsing at the show. Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paolo reported that Benevides suffered two cardiac arrests, though officials have not confirmed the cause of death. A video also showed Swift appearing to struggle to breathe on stage during her performance that night....

Finally, something other than text messages. Nothing like USPS to get one’s attention.

Joe and Kamala haven’t started campaigning yet. Not formally. Maybe after the holidays. Out number Trump on news articles before the public. Keep it positive through known accomplishments. The truth, while controversial, is still the truth and invites conversation.

There is a lot to be happy about with this administration. The issue of diversity is being solved everyday. While there are still strong White Supremacist head winds politically from the Trump camp, the American landscape has become better.

The rate of inflation is down markedly from the pandemic. Wages are better. But, food insecurity for those economically challenged has never been greater. I expect to see leaders at food pantries and community meals this Thanksgiving, too. They may need a reality check that AI can’t provide. 

Wall Street has been unable to deal with a global shift due to national security issues. That is where Trump becomes attractive to donations to the Republican Party. He is the standard, cut taxes to the wealthy and assault every social program that exists to help struggling Americans. The “thing” about Trump and the GOP is money. The Speaker solidarity, no matter how wrong, was about extreme conservative standards and reassurances to Wall Street and campaign funds. The court decisions violating the 14th amendment is about money. Trump brings it in for the party and then distributes to other as he sees fit. Without him on the ballot the money can dry up.

The US Supreme Court is a major disappointment in that they have rolled the USA Constitution into a turn of the century constitution. The question is, what century are they focused on?

Americans want to be happy, healthy and wealthy. The vote follows that, too. Iowa has the most home owning millennials. The Red States have the most millennials owning homes and the Blue States the least. Governors as well as the President and Senate need to pay attention to that. The American Dream is still alive, but, challenged and that is not good. Renting real estate/an apartment is not a method of securing retirement.

This administration is the strongest in identifying the climate crisis and moving forward to address it. Regardless, there are lots of reason to look skeptically at the coastlines and in one word, “Thwaites.” Wind and solar are the way forward. Get rid of fossil fuels now. The administration has focused on leaking methane. Earth is not a friendly plant with growing amounts of methane in its atmospheres. Life doesn’t exist in methane, at least not  human life. Neptune (click here ) is Sol’s methane planet, it doesn’t need another one. The BLM and Interior Departments are finally working as they should in assessing the land, water, and the future the climate is a factor.

Child labor is a growing concern and needs to be addressed. The option for parents caught in the inflation bind is “school choice” and child labor. The GOP does not have good policies in regard to children. Poverty and labor are children’s futures, especially when outlawing abortion and contraception. Women and children are under assault. The GOP is still the White Man’s angry party willing to victimize women and children for their ideology.

It would be helpful for the US EPA to have a real discussion about PFAs, water quality, and a clean environment in the home and out. Americans don’t want poison in the lives and the US EPA needs to be sensitive to that fact. But, the USA EPA is also in a unique position to have matter of fact discussions about healthy environments and the way forward. It was President Obama that first opened the door to far better alternatives in chemistry. Americans need information and not propaganda. 

There has been some strange images of black women in the fantasy media. I am thinking of a program called, “Found.” The “power” character is a black woman. She seeks to solve mysteries and bring children home to their parents, but, doesn’t quite get the job done without the assistance of a man locked in her basement. The imaginary is a real insult to black women. She should be heading up the department with strong self-reliant leadership with perhaps an interesting romance life if not her own family. The concept of the show is good especially when it addresses missing and abducted children, but, the sexual undertones of incompetence as well is a real problem. It just isn’t right and lacks real respect.

So, using recycled card stock and paper with candidate credentials and accomplishments to reach voters is still a good idea that promotes the USPS as well. Text messages have their limits. Campaigns need to get underway after the holidays.

Until later.

What are these judges afraid of?

Judge Cannon (click here) has made a very bad ruling that allows Donald John Trump to avoid the truth about his criminal activity until after the 2024 election. Why?

There was also a Colorado judge that is allowing his name on a primary ballot in violation of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution. Why?

It is well known the “Followers of Trump” are violent people. That reputation brings an understanding of threats to those they dislike. Both these decisions should be appealed to higher courts and the FBI needs to interview judges over seeing the Trump cases to ensure there are no fears or prejudice entering into their decisions.

China is still not an ally.

India’s development is the way forward. 

If Xi actually wants to establish his country as a leader in peace, he needs to champion non-proliferation and begin the process of denuclearization with every country in the world, including North Korea. Xi needs to make it real and not just a good show of good will intentions.

This summit occurred through months if not a year of talks between the two countries.

And, Joe is correct. Xi is a dictator. There are no free and open elections in China. Xi is in power without a challenge. He should prove his influence by demanding Russia leave Ukraine. Ukraine also needs additional funding for it's continued fight against ethnic cleansing and genocide.

U.S. President Joe Biden (click here) holds a bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Filoli Estate in Woodside, California.

Meeting with President Biden for the first time in a year (click here), China’s leader, Xi Jinping, reiterated his determination to unify with Taiwan, but stopped short of mentioning the potential use of force. He denounced what he called futile American efforts at containing China, but also acknowledged that U.S. tech restrictions had taken a toll.

And he broadcast that China had global ambitions for its influence — while also trying to reassure the world that those ambitions did not have to lead to conflict with the United States.

Mr. Xi’s message at the leaders’ summit in San Francisco, as depicted by official Chinese summaries, reflected his dual, at times contradictory, priorities during his trip to the United States, which many had hoped would help inject stability into the volatile bilateral relationship....

I told you so.

Media outlets around the world (click here) are showing dead and dying Palestinian babies in hospitals — but what they are not showing is who murdered these babies.

The answer is clear. American intelligence has now revealed that Hamas has built its command centers and its tunnels underneath hospitals. It has also revealed that Hamas has been stealing fuel intended for hospital generators....

Evacuation is paramount to Palestinian survival in Gaza. It is simply wrong to allow humanitarian aid into a war zone. This clearly demonstrates why Israel opposed such aid because it never completely makes it to the people that deserve to have it. Such aid prolongs the suffering as the terrorists become renewed with the supplies they take from the people. It is best to allow Israel to access all of the land it needs to access to remove the elements of these terrorist networks and end the siege.

Hamas put the Palestinians at risk with every element of their tunnels and occupation of the land. There are many casualties, but, Hamas designed it that way.

Where is Ismail Haniyeh? He is not the elected President of the Palestinian people, yet, he is sitting with a leader of a sovereign country that is known to fund terrorists.

Ismail Haniyeh knew of the tunnels, the funding from Iran, and the dangerous munitions under the al-Shifa hospital. Did he authorize the mass murder of Isrealis?

These are the people everyone should have stopped from their terrorist activities, but, nothing was done. The Palestinian people were human shields to this man. They were also human shields to Khamenei as the Iranian regime funded Hamas to do exactly what it did.

How much exposure does Khamenei have to the mass murders of the people of Israel by Hamas?

Why? Why the absolutely stupid and completely ungovernable ideology of turning the world religiously to Shia. It is pure craziness and based only in hate.

Beirut - The leader of the Palestinian group Hamas (click here), Ismail Haniyeh, met Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during a visit to Tehran in recent days, a Hamas official said on Saturday in remarks broadcast by al-Mayadeen television.

Israeli troops have struck the house (click here) of top Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Gaza. The Israeli Defence Forces shared a video today of fighter jets bombing a house, which they claim is Ismail Haniyeh's....

Hamas was afforded political dignity in hopes of bringing about peace. Ismail Haniyeh was hardly a moderate if he allowed and possibly encouraged such terrorist infrastructure and plans. Legitimizing terrorist networks does not work. It should never be allowed or tolerated again. Such attempts at diplomacy carry with it large numbers of causalities when the truth is revealed.

Tel Aviv - Hamas (click here), the Palestinian group that controls the Gaza Strip, said Saturday that it had chosen Ismail Haniyeh, a charismatic grassroots politician, as its new political chief, the latest move in an effort to refresh the militant Islamist group’s leadership and manifesto.

Haniyeh, seen as a relative moderate with close ties to Hamas’ military wing, will move from Gaza City to Hamas headquarters in Doha, Qatar, to take over from Khaled Meshaal, who has been responsible for the organization’s foreign relations and financing for the last 12 years.

The announcement caps several months of voting among Hamas’ far-flung members in Gaza, the West Bank, Israeli jails and abroad to select a replacement for Meshaal, who sought to step down....

George Santos is anti-American

George Santos is a stark example of how anyone within a democracy can assail it's basic principle of "one person, one vote," claim a federal office, carry out corruption and personal wealth and basically get away with it within the structure of the poorly protected US House of Representatives. 

This is not about removing the "Voter's Choice" in an election. This is about removing a liar from a seat of power within in the USA House of Representatives. It is astounding to realize how the US House of Representatives simply found an excuse to leave a cooperative vote for Republicans within it's chamber. Those that didn't vote to remove him for reasons of "voter choice" should be investigated ethically as well.

The excuse of leaving George Santos in a seat of power is purely corrupt. Santos is KNOWN to be guilty of a variety of both legal and ethics violations, yet, the weak and immoral Republican majority of the USA House chose to leave him in his seat for the purpose of his vote and not other reason. The bogus excuse that he was the people's choice is of itself a lie.

How does a voter choose when the entire reason he was appealing was an complete lie. That is not a voter's choice, that is however a false choice and a strong element of corruption. The USA House of Representatives practiced hubris and not governance. The Speaker should have made it clear to uphold the "one person, one vote" value system within the American democracy as it is necessary to remove Santos and allow another to have a special election if that what the people of New Jersey wanted.

Once again, the Republicans are awash with apathy and illegitimate purpose to allow Santos to maintain an office within the USA Government. He should be removed and the USA democracy protected from him.

Cowards ruled today in the USA House. They simply can't handle the truth and make it count. It is disgusting the extent corruption is allowed to exist.

The Rules Committee MUST address this episode of anti-Americanism by the GOP. To allow a manipulative person to occupy a seat of power within the federal government is definitely anti-American. All those voters that cast a ballot in good faith for George Santos are now the brunt of cowardly conduct by the entire USA House. They have no legitimate representative and that is sincerely anti-American.

Have you figured it out yet?

Why Israel is running it’s strategy to end terrorist dominance of Gaza?

I mean, everyone is crying over the events in Gaza, but, have you put any thought into why things are transpiring as they have?

I want anyone reading this to reflect on the deaths of UN personnel and realize why this is occurring. It is not carelessness, it is war. War by nature is heartless, but, then the cause of the war was more heartless than the defense by a sovereign country, namely Israel.

To begin we are talking about a terrorist attack on civilians of a sovereign country. The Palestinian Authority never authorized any of the attacks by Hamas or the deaths of civilians. Within those facts is a stark reality that must be addressed. There was no control of terrorists in Gaza before or during their building of the terrorist infrastructure that is being revealed as the IDF battles deeper and deeper into Gaza. The further the IDF goes into Gaza the more the truth is revealed.

Now, the UN with so much of the world putting pressure on them to deliver humanitarian aid is initially stopped by Israel from doing so. Lots of reasons why. Now, that there are more than 100 UN workers dead, the reasons to not allow them to proceed is more than obvious.

So, the deaths are all Israel’s doing, right?

I mean, that is what everyone’s conclusion is, right?

No one knows that, because as I think about it, besides the recklessness of the authority that sent them there in the first place, why is Hamas not held first responsible for those deaths?

As a passive observer I see a lot of reason for Hamas to kill those people.

To Hamas and other terrorists, the UN is nothing except an organization that supplies money for infrastructure building. The terrorists’ infrastructure didn’t happen by itself, it was built quite possibly by diverted Free World funds through benign UN programs. Sure Iran is involved, but, with the corruption that exists with some arms of the UN, it wasn’t just Iran.

But, let’s remove all that speculation and return to innocent UN workers moving through a war zone. To me, from a terrorist’s perspective, why let them leave? There is no reason to allow UN workers to leave. They can be hostages, they drive heavy equipment that can be used against the IDF, and they bring perishable supplies the terrorists are cut off from. The value of taking the worker away from their work and taking control of equipment and supplies seems more correct to me in estimating the reason they died. Or more likely killed.

Whether that actually occurred is speculation, too. But, one thing is FACT, that the potential for increasing the viability and power of Hamas by allowing so called humanitarian aid into Gaza is a very viable point of view.

So, now we have dead UN workers, equipment and supplies missing and/or destroyed and the facts are not completely in as to what occurred. Anyone that says there is 100 percent certainty it was Israel that is to blame is a liar with an agenda.

I saw Nick Robertson’s report in the war zone. Nick Robertson is a voice I have heard report from some of the most dangerous and controversial places in the world. If I remember right it was he that ran across al Qaeda tapes when the US entered Afghanistan after 911. He turned them over to USA authorities but given permission to show many of them to prove to the world what they were up against to take care of their people and countries. I trust Nick’s work.

In that report an IDF soldier/commander showed the tunnels entering the underground network and the solar array on top of the building powering the infrastructure within the tunnel. And, oh by the way, the solar array was on top of a Hamas residence. Interestingly, the Hamas resident should be so close to a tunnel entrance.

Israel has every right and OBLIGATION to be in Gaza dismantling the terrorist infrastructure. No one else ever PREVENTED it to be built in the first place!

The terrorist infrastructure used the civilian infrastructure for it’s own purposes WITHOUT any regard to civilian lives, including the most vulnerable.

There is no other way forward. The IDF has the most knowledge of what is in Gaza that threatens their country and citizens and it has every right to be doing what they are doing. The Israeli invasion did not occur without notice as Prime Minister Netanyahu announced the war declarations ahead of the engagement of it. Israel also stated for civilians to move south to escape the war.

This is all a really lousy reality for the world. But, the horror of it developed and grew over decades right before everyone’s eyes. What is the popular expression these days, “In plain sight.”

I am confident as more and more of the terrorists are confronted and defeated the more of the horrible truth will be revealed. The terrorist network in Gaza cannot stand and it won’t be defeated overnight. There will always be an Israeli presence until the Palestinian Authority is strong enough to actually hold the high moral ground that protects Palestinian lives and quality of life. There is no other way. The PA has a whole lot of work to do and acknowledging Israel and its right to a safe and sovereign country is paramount to ending THE THREAT. The PA must reject any and all POTENTIAL to any terrorist presence if it is to be a legitimate sovereign authority.

I am sorry there are so many UN workers dead. The question remains could their deaths have been avoided both within the war, but, also before the necessity of the war?

UN workers

I am sorry to read that more than 100 UN workers have died in Gaza. They obviously put others before their own lives. I wish that was not the case. 

We know Israel suspects every movement in Gaza as potential terrorist movement. We also know Israel is systematically destroying tunnels and any chance of terrorist locations. We know from reports of deaths of terrorists that the IDF is being successful in their intelligence.

Israel prioritizes its mission to protect citizens and eliminate any threat before other concerns. I sincerely wish those in Gaza would evacuate and remove themselves from the presence of Hamas and other terrorist elements to be safe. 

I am sorry to hear of the deaths of valuable UN workers, quite possibly trucks and supplies. UN workers should not expose themselves to danger. They should only proceed with relief supplies during recognized times of humanitarian pauses. If there is too much loss of UN workers, equipment and supplies, there won’t be a mission and all good intentions will be list. It is not upto civilians and UN workers to survive this war, but, to evacuate from it. 

There is news about progress with hostages. If there is progress with hostages then there may be progress in other ways in the future. That potential should never be viewed as hope and reason to remain in Gaza. Gaza is first very dangerous and every estimation is that it will remain so for some time into the future.

People need to leave Gaza as stated from the beginning.

Please.

Gaza Hospitals

Why are these hospitals not being evacuated? (click here)

The USA ships are in the region. Aren’t there humanitarian pauses in which evacuations can take place? Where are the USA hospital ships? I am sure Israel would consent to evacuations to a friendly facility where terrorists would not return to the battlefield.

Can the evacuations be secure enough so no terrorist activities will accompany patients? The last thing anyone needs are live bombs among hospital evacuees.

Some of the concerns of the IDF, from what I am reading, are the tunnels and the use of hospitals within that tunnel system. Surrounding the hospitals have a purpose and that is to continue to contain the threat. 

None of this is straight forward as terrorists will seek to use any movement as a reason to carry out attacks even using hospital patients. Hamas has no respect for human life. While hospital doctors are crying foul in the methods of Israel’s war, there are no reassurances to ending it. 

Iran should be grateful

US reduces the threat of the Islamic State (click here)

This is the ridiculous nature of the Iranian regime and their IRGC proxies. Iran uses foreign criminal entities to basically take pot shots at the Free World and it’s humanitarian efforts to contain terrorist threats.

This defense of US assets in Iraq and forward positions in Syria is necessary to continue to manage the continued threat of the reconstitution of the Islamic State. The Islamic State is a threat to the entire region including all the countries that border on the Mediterranean Sea. The regional threat by the Islamic State includes Iran. The purpose of the US military in the region is to stabilize the region and protect life. Yet, to Iran the hate of the USA is greater than the fear of reconstitution of the Islamic State. It is an amazing reality and one that begs the question, “Does Iranian leadership have control of its IRGC and Iranian proxies?”

The USA is in the region to basically maintain “the peace.” Yet, because Iran’s hatred of the Free World is so out of control it cannot discern it’s own best interest in our presence. The USA operates on military intelligence and not emotional dogma seeking revenge or control of propaganda. The entire Iranian focus and actions defy logic or even the integrity of a sovereign country.

As any IDF soldier would say, “This is the Middle East.” That basically means the lack of sovereign control over individual jihadists provides for a dangerous chaos that threatens regional stability. It is the bizarre religious fervor since Arafat going forward that is used to support hatred as a motivating force to cause fear of an otherwise hapless leadership. 

Russia in Syria

It is far to easy for the Free World to carry on campaigns against Israel’s defense, but, in comparison of Russia’s attacks in Syria this doesn’t really compare. I guess when it comes to removing terrorists from cities there is no real comparable model. Terrorists use infrastructure against it’s designed purpose. 

Latest reports out of Gaza is that Doctors Without Borders has lost contact with it’s personnel amidst bombing near the hospital.

The Free World maintains the idea that Israel’s leadership lacks competence in war tactics, yet, no one is suggesting any different strategy. When the US was in Iraq it used ground forces to conduct urban warfare. The casualty rate was lower but extended over a long period of time. The US has the best fighting force in the world with far larger numbers of troops. If the US were to join with Israel the communists would see it as an opportunity to expand the war. With US troops fighting against Syrian attacks currently it would seem the attacks by communists began before Israel was attacked and 1400 innocent unarmed people were murdered.

After Israel declared war Former General Petraeus had the guts to address Israel’s task of eliminating “the threat” in an interview on a news program and basically had no criticism of Israel. He said the threat had to be brought to a manageable level and then maintained in order to return function to the land and people.

What do the critics of Israel expect? Is Israel supposed to forever expect attacks killing 1400 people at a time and figure it’s the best that can be given its the Middle East or should it expect support in destroying terrorist infrastructure to eliminate the threat to the point where it is routinely managed?

If Iran is allowed to continue to support terrorists throughout the world and nothing is done to end the ideological terrorist networks where does civilization actually stand as a sustainable answer for human existence? 

Israel’s IDF is carrying out a reasonably successful campaign against the terrorists and their infrastructure. Israel has repeatedly stated to evacuate the war zone. Israel has not resorted to dropping chlorine bombs from planes as Syria did while Russian tanks rolled through the rubble. 

The fact is there are no good alternatives for ending the siege in Gaza by terrorist networks including Hamas. The humanitarian response into Gaza has been impressive compared to that shown in Syria. When the Free World comes up with better solutions to end the danger to innocent citizens, including infants and children, in Israel besides surrender; I am sure the the IDF will consider it. In the meantime, the best answer to eliminate Palestinian casualties in Gaza REMAINS no different from the first day of war, but, to evacuate.

Iceland’s eruption may be about to start.

Israel’s Humanitarian Pauses

People leaving Gaza (click here)

I don’t want to hear that Israel has no heart for the Palestinians. There is a lot of movement out of the war zone. They are finally understanding their own plight in having trusted terrorists with their lives.

I have to blame the Late Yasir Arafat for the rise in terrorist elements that took over populated areas only to create danger and not safety and stable governance for the Palestinian people. The people were used as pawns by these groups.

The old hate paradigms that drive these terrorist elements must be abandoned for civil discourse to find a way forward. Iran needs to lose it’s hateful ideology, too. There is no reason for even tensions between Iranian backed terrorists like the Houthis and sovereign powers such as Saudi Arabia. None of these groups are beneficial to the people; they are a dangerous element among them.

The world has greater problems than the propagation of religious bigotry and hatred. It is time those old ideologies are settled and the world focus on peace and prosperity for all countries without conflict or nuclear threat. 

A ceasefire…

 …that allows all hostages to be released is a reasonable pause in any war. Humanitarian aid could be provided along with a chance for Palestinians to leave Gaza until the removal of terrorists is complete.

The war with Hamas is a stark new reality for Palestinians. They have to be allowed to leave and receive humanitarian aid with the understanding the Palestinian Authority is the only governance they are allowed to follow.

“Untied Nations” fronts as a travel agent…

 .. to UN personnel and it’s military arm. More later.

I am quite confident Microsoft Outlook has extensive records. With all the privacy demands of large tech companies Microsoft was not knowingly providing a platform for international crime.

No free world country should ignore this level of corruption in a global organization. The UN would be better served by breaking up some of it’s agencies into audible, smaller sized independent agencies under third party control. There needs to be accountability for such corruption.

It is my opinion for what it is worth the United Nations has become a bit ungainly in size and ability to monitor itself recognizing it’s noble and vital purpose.

The NGOs need to have been cleared by more than Interpol and it’s Russian corruption in order to receive funding. Interpol can be one clearinghouse but the FBI and other NATO agencies should be required to provide duplicate clearance as well. Duplication of clearance at all levels of personnel and NGO will have to be required until all the corruption is cleaned up.

The United Nations is asking for $1.2 billion.

It is all in the name of Palestinian relief. I remind there is a real underbelly to the United Nations figure heads called “Untied Nations.” I think the UN needs an investigation into it’s corrupt underbelly, especially with such an enormous request. I am concerned Untied Nations funds terrorists. 

The Untied Nations network has access to sophisticated technology and uses identity theft even into the U.S. IRS for faux refunds reaching into the tens of thousands claiming large gambling debts.

I think $1.2 billion is a ridiculous amount of money and exploitive when independent countries can easily carry out their own legitimate campaigns for humanitarian efforts.

The United Nations needs to be cleaned up. There is extensive corruption in some of the agencies. It is obvious to me.
