The World Wants Israel to STOP

Everybody or most everybody in the world wants Israel to stop this war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip...

It is hard to believe that the world wants Israel to stop while at the same time the world has yet to CONDEMN the actions of Hamas when they invaded Israel and took over 200 hostages.

If the world wants Israel to stop then the world to put pressure on Hamas to return the hostages...  the world cannot have it both ways...

It is not that I am pro Israel or anti Israels, it is what's FAIR...

I remember 9/11 and the attack on American Soil and if the world had asked us not to retaliate, I believe most Americans would have told the world to go screw yourself.

Israel is no different.

You must remember that the UNITED NATIONS gave Israel its land...  right or wrong, it was the UN that did this.  If you want to eliminate Israel then you must return to the UN and get them to approve that decision...

Otherwise, if you attack Israel, they WILL FIGHT BACK and will pay no attention to the rest of the world...

Why isn't the rest of the world wanting Ukraine to stop defending itself against Russia??? 

It's Only Our World

 Do we have what it takes to be a Global Leader?

The USA that is to say...

• The Character
• The Vision
• The Desire
• The Determination
• The Motivation
• The Finances
• The Military
• The Education

The are Democracies, Republics, Communists, Socialists, Arabs, Hindus, Muslims, Jews, and Christians...

There are the educated, the uneducated, the spiritual, those who are superstitious, and those who are scared of their own shadows...

There are those who believe in magic, those who believe in God, those who believe in themselves, and those who believe in nothing...

There are those who don't believe in abortion, those who don't value life at all, those who would sacrifice everything for their families, and those who will take advantage of anything they can...

We have as many different languages as we have different skin tones, and those who think the world should speak English...

Mostly, we have people who have no desire to give peace a chance, believing it is their manifest destiny to acquire as much land as they can before they die...

Similarly, we those same people feel that same way about money...

We are a species that has been designed by someone to DESTROY ITSELF...  otherwise, we would not be the way we are...

Is there any country in this world that has what it takes to control this BAND OF MISFITS???

We are so concerned about ourselves that we have lost the fundamental purpose of our existence...  No one country can lead the world without understanding this purpose and seeing how it is necessary to our survival...   and, until that happens, we will never become any better than we already are...   The world, our world, is no better than its weakest link...

Let Me Get Something Straight

Former President Trump is a jerk, an asshole, a liar, a thief, and a bully...  and those points only reflect his good side.

Should a former President GO TO JAIL?  I am not sure if the Democrats want to set that precedent, given the shit hole that Joe Biden is standing in...

Trump created a great economy with full employment...  can he do it again?  Times have changed.

Trump is facing 91 felony charges and four trials, I believe, but his is leading all GOP candidates so far in the 2024 election which is one year away.

• How far along with the trials be in a year?
• Will Trump appeal his convictions?  YES...
• Will the Supreme Court become involved?  Possibly...
• Will the focus on Trump continue to divide the country?  YES...
• Will Trump seek REVENGE if he becomes President again?  Your guess is as good as mine...

Personally,

I think Trump would be a better WAR PRESIDENT than Joe Biden.

I think the leaders of the world FEAR TRUMP'S UNPREDICTABILITY.

If Joe Biden does not run, who will the Dems replace him with?

1. Gavin Newsome - Governor of CA
2. Michele Obama - wife and lawyer

...What we need to do...

1. stop inflation
2. rebuild our economy
3. stop illegal immigration
4. stop the war on fossil fuel
5. build an infrastructure for EVs
6. balance the budget
7. reduce the national debt
8. strengthen our military
9. improve our education
10. upgrade our roads and bridges
11. plan for robots replacing jobs
12. use AI for medical research
13. stand strong against communism
14. convince congress to set term limits
15. make way for a new generation
16. teach high school students the Rule of 72
17. force citizens to save and do away with Social Security and Unemployment Insurance
18. create a national initiative to eliminate obesity
19. NO AMERICAN should be put into a situation where they do not have the basics of food, clothing, and shelter
20. Why do BILLIONAIRES need all their money?

Neither Biden nor Trump nor any other Presidential candidate has the wherewithal to accomplish everything that is own my list.

China's Vision to Reshape the WORLD

Editor’s Note: Sign up for CNN’s Meanwhile in China newsletter which explores what you need to know about the country’s rise and how it impacts the world.

Xi Jinping has a plan for how the world should work, and one year into his norm-shattering third term as Chinese leader, he’s escalating his push to challenge America’s global leadership — and put his vision front and center.

That bid was in the spotlight like never before last month in Beijing, when Xi, flanked by Russian President Vladimir Putin, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres, and some two dozen top dignitaries from around the world, hailed China as the only country capable of navigating the challenges of the 21st century.  READ MORE...

Protest Songs

 

This current generation is not familiar with protest songs like my generation of the 1960s was immersed in...  but you can find these songs on YOUTUBE if you want to listen to them and get an idea of what might have been going through our minds.

The above video is Country Joe and the Fish singing "I feel like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag...

Here are some others:

Bob Dylan - Hurricane

Credence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son

Bob Dylan - Blowing in the Wind

Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name

Barry McGuire - Eve of Destruction

Bob Dylan - The Times They are A-Changin'

Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth

Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young - Ohio

Bob Dylan - Masters of War

I don't think anyone protested the Afghanistan War, or the war in retaliation for 9/11 or the Ukraine war; but, the USA is highly divided on the war between Israel and Hamas.

One of the big differences between now and BACK THEN was the fact that the US had a MANDATORY DRAFT.  At 18, you were eligible to be drafted into the military regardless of whether or not you wanted to go into the military.  College was the only exemption.

The US has no mandatory draft now, so males who turn 18 years of age, have NO IDEA what we felt like back then.

Thirteen-Metre Waves

Australian surfer Laura Enever has set a world record for riding the largest wave ever paddled into by a woman.

The 31-year-old tamed the 43.6ft (13.3m) beast in January at a break nicknamed the Himalayas in Oahu, Hawaii.

It beat the previous record - which stood for seven years - by only a foot.

Paddling-in involves entering waves unassisted. It is distinct from a tow-in, in which surfers are pulled by jet-ski so they can access bigger waves.  READ MORE...

HAVE YOU GOT YOUR HEAD IN A PLACE WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE???

Humanoid Robots with Artificial Intelligence have skills and abilities that HUMANS DON'T POSSESS and never will.

Do you want to go to College and have gigantic student loans to pay, only not to be able to find employment because of robots or lose employment because of robots???

THE TIME OF HUMANS IS RAPIDLY COMING TO AN END...

Believe it or not...  that's your choice...  BUT, make sure you don't make the wrong decision about your life because our federal government will not be able to help you since they are focused on GREEN ENERGY and EV cars.

Talk about being played for FOOLS...

EU Membership for Ukraine

"The Commission recommends that the (EU) Council opens accession negotiations with Ukraine," said the Brussels-based European Commission.

It added the talks should formally be launched once Kyiv satisfied remaining conditions related to stepping up fight against corruption, adopting a law on lobbying in line with EU standards and strengthening national minority safeguards.

The recommendation is an important milestone on Kyiv's road to Western integration and a geo-political gambit for the EU as Ukraine has been fighting against a large-scale Russian invasion since February 2022.  READ MORE...

I suppose that being able to sit down on a solid gold toilet seat when one has to take a shit might have its advantages as well...  but, for me that seat would have to be heated in the winter...  lol

Think about it...  what is the real difference?

1. Wealthy people have to eat

IS THIS THE KIND OF PERSON YOU REALLY WANT TO BE OR BECOME?

Biding Biden

Calls For a Humanitarian Pause

G7 foreign ministers on Wednesday called for humanitarian pauses in the Israel-Hamas conflict to allow in aid and help the release of hostages, and sought a return to a broader peace process.

Ending a two-day meeting in Tokyo as Israeli forces continued to pound the Gaza Strip, the Group of Seven wealthy nations said in a joint statement that Israel had the right to defend itself. But they also underscored the need to protect civilians and to comply with international humanitarian law.

G7 members are committed to preparing long-term solutions for Gaza and a return to a broader peace process in the Israel-Palestinian conflict “in line with the internationally agreed parameters,” the statement said.   READ MORE...
