It is just all so senseless. This violence came out of the blue for most people. Rob and Michele were great people professionally and personally.

The USA needs to hold people responsible.

These deaths resulted from company policy. The people responsible for deaths due to lack of healthcare must be held responsible. Not accountable.

Benjamin Netanyahu

This will appear arrogant, but, it needs to be said. 

One of the missions of Israel is to provide a safe haven for the faith and the faithful. One of the missions of the Prime Minister is to strengthen ties to every country where the Jewish diaspora lives. Prime Minister Netanyahu is failing his purpose on a global basis. 

After the assassinations of innocent people gathering to celebrate their faith on Bondi Beach, Prime Minister Netanyahu openly criticized the Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for the carnage. Netanyahu stated Australia exhibited the wrong set of values considered to be anti-semitic.

The failure in leadership belongs to Netanyahu and his war cabinet. Their continued cruelty and inhuman treatment of Palestinians is endangering the lives of the Jewish diaspora in every corner of the world. Valuing life and human rights of Palestinians is not the wrong set of values. Stating such values exist in free societies is more of the same self-righteousness of Israeli leadership resolved to destroy any semblance of order in

The Middle East. 

Hamas cannot be considered a viable form of leadership. They are terrorists that were able to propagandize suffering to form a political party and turn Palestine into a country of hatred rather than peace. Terrorists finding that type of foothold need to be recognized and removed from power.

Is there a single tunnel left in Gaza? Then destroy them, make Israel safe, end the suffering of the Palestinians, and carry out rules to bring about a benevolent government for them, but, end it already. They are human beings that require a homeland and not further displacement.

There is not one Jewish man, woman, or child safe and it is a direct result of the continued suffering of the Palestinian people. Israel cannot be there to protect them. Israel is unrealistic in expecting every other country to know the next attack. There will be more. No one knows when or where as the deaths in Australia were never supposed to occur.

I could go on and on about the gun lobby and the loopholes they create within law due to their particular political pollution, but, in this case it is a war against humanity that is of issue and it must end.

This was written as Hanukah is being celebrated. It is not anti-semitic, just unfortunate.

It is surreal. A sincere tragedy.

Spinal Tape was Rob Reiner’s first acting venture. Spinal Tap was a very unique movie. It was an inspiration to many and began a new genre. 

His first directing venture was the  “Princess Bride.” (Click here) Most Americans don’t realize how deeply affected the film industry is reeling from their deaths. As much as he was conventional in many ways, he was also a mover and shaker during most of his career. He impacted the end of “When Sally met Harry,” as it was the film when he met his spouse, Michele.

The New York Times is correct and what makes these murders such a shock. Rob and Nike walked together in life. Nick was a troubled person and his father was deeply concerned for him. It is shocking to find such a tragedy to the end of life of a brilliant couple. No one would have thought this possible.

My understanding is that the couple’s daughter lived on the property and was the one that found them dead. I can’t help believe she may know something and may have feared her brother. But, perhaps not.

This is a very sad day. Many people who appreciate film know the extent the Reiner’s talent existed and never could conceive of any of this. It is so astonishing. I understand Nick may have been homeless to his drug addiction. Homelessness is one of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. One of the very basic requirements to human beings is a home. I can’t help but speculate that this might have played a role in Nick’s unhinged rampage. 

To the family mourning this loss, they are not alone.

My sincerest of sympathies. An entire industry is mourning.

This is a bit of a shock. I believe his spouse, Michele Singer was a producer for the film industry, too. 

Rob Reiner was a brilliant man. His entire career is full of expertise and charm. He engaged the social and political realm of the country. He and Michele will be deeply missed. 

Is this for real?

All this has to be verified. These are legitimate? Wow. It would be best if the victims would allow validation. These are very serious crimes.

The murderer was a recent security force recruit guard.

It is Afghanistan all over again. Recruited

Afghan soldiers killed American soldiers from inside the security perimeter.

The new leader of Syria is former Al Qaeda and has released prisoners into the general population. This is not surprising. Rebels that are successful against autocrats will have leaders with criminal/terrorist backgrounds. In that same understanding is a clear danger to domestic peace. Retaliation is not unusual due to a vicious civil war. The civil war that resulted in the overthrow of Assad was a human rights nightmare, including Assad’s chlorine barrel bombs. This is more of the turbulence occurring with Syria that its new leader can’t contain. The new security force should be left to the new leadership and the USA military station closed.

The Dictator King

The legislature has the right/power to remove Cabinet Agencies. We saw the creation of a Cabinet position after September 11, 2001 with Homeland Security. Every Cabinet position is created by Congress and Congress can dissolve them. So, I disagree with Associate Justice Kagan that nothing can be done to reign in the runaway Executive Branch. The Cabinet can be altered very easily when the legislature agrees about abuse of power and/or the reorganization of the Cabinet to reign in abuse of power as we are witnessing with Trump.

I dearly appreciate Justice Kagan’s approach and dissertation at the bench. Thank you. The clarity to the people is necessary.

Another approach which Congress is awakening to is impeachment of Cabinet officers. It is a beginning.

This is a State’s Rights issue.

This is speculation but I think Elon Musk is up to no good and Trump is authorizing it. This is not the first time Trump has acted in the best interest of Musk. Musk has a real problem with the ideas of “Open AI” and others. Musk wants control over AI. Why? What is he up to? 

But, artificial intelligence is far too dangerous to play games with it. The safety and wealth of California’s industries is that of California, not the federal government with a president that wants control over everything within the borders of the USA.

Trump is also attempting to carrying out control over media. It is his oligarchs, ie: Ellison, that’s bending the knee to their king. It is about consolidating wealth and power. It has to stop.

The Emollient Clause is being ignored as a LAW that can bring scrutiny to Trump’s executive order. While monetary abuse of the office of the president is obvious, there is also the wealth of the electorate. Trump’s actions carry all sorts of racketeering and his obsession with an American oligarchy should be drawing attention to the electorate. Being loyal to Trump while benefitting from it is corruption plain and simple. 

Donald Trump is not trustworthy to be an overseer of the First Amendment in this country. He needs to be hands off and he continues to focus on control to end the First Amendment.

There is more than one way to undermine the USA Constitution and the Rule of Law. Defunding healthcare without viable and equitable alternatives is as much an attack on the Constitution as any direct coup. This is his methodology, work (crime) craft, or chosen path in violation of an oath of office he openly disdained during his inauguration.

Illegal orders? Venezuelans? This is just the beginning. Everyone involved has legal problems including Trump. Illegal orders are not within the legal definition of the president’s job description. 

Every Senator that spoke out has the legal obligation to warn their constituents about legal pitfalls when in service to this country. 

Nome is Secretary of Homeland Insecurity. A shop owner barred ICE from entering his shop and has a legal right to do so. Some states and Governors are drawing up regulations on the appropriate mission of ICE within their state’s borders.

Welcome home. He is going to need at least one lawsuit to catch up on his lost income and there is always malicious prosecution. He needs protection. Up to now he had protection. I am glad he is home for the holidays. Someone owes him a great big apology. Go to Canada for awhile. 

Republicans insist on private industry for everything.

The Republicans need to stop belly aching and find solutions for healthcare in a country where magnificent citizens deserve it.

Thank you for including NATO in the defense bill. If nothing else is perfect in the defense spending bill, that is. Our allies are extremely important and I am proud of them and the support we bring to them.

Our development of our military over modern decades is an amazing achievement with the help of institutions like MIT and manufactures seeking perfection. Our allies need us and that is a good thing. Thank you.

One other aspect of healthcare is the importance of REGULATION in PROFITS. Healthcare is a part of the economic vitality of this country. I remind a CEO was stalked because of abuse of the privatized healthcare industry. Considering the volatility of privatized healthcare in the USA, I really don’t see government standing down in handling it. Good luck. A nation is looking on.

Every legislator needs to take ownership of this problem. Enough of the politics.
