No news is good news.
Unfortunately, most of the news these days is bad news.
Only good news is usually technology and acts of compassion, caring, personal sacrifice and sometimes true heroism! đ

Wow, I thought this speaks volumes.
All the greedy and corrupt power players at the table with their fancy suits, money, gold, and properties around the globe.
And their game is sustained up on the bent backs of the simple people with nothing (not even clothing).
But a Seeing Eye (and a Hearing Ear) in Heaven is watching the evil perpetrated.
Eventually, faith tells us that the game will be over and the simple hard-working people will be fully restored and the corrupt will suffer their just desserts. đ

We were promised they would “drain the swamp.”
What happened with that?
It often still seems pretty dirty, dark, dank and swampy!
We need real democracy, freedom, human rights, and justice for all people. đ

It hit me todayâwith all the news about Russia preparing to invade Ukraine and devastate its people, unprovoked, there is nobody talking about the people of Ukraine.
Our leaders and news media are so misguided and focused on the geopolitics of the thing, all they talk about is what the U.S. and EU will do in terms of some measly sanctions.
But they have completely forgotten the innocent people thereâ44 million of themâwho face death and occupation.
Where is our leadership????
Where are the speeches about the innocent people? About freedom? About democracy? About human rights?
Where is the United Nations????
They are supposed to safeguard and maintain peace and security around the globe.
Where are the outspoken liberals who call out occupation, apartheid, and human rights abuses????
Not a word from anyone.
It’s incredible how prejudiced, biased, discriminatory and corrupt all these people can be. They can be brainwashed, bribed, and bought to speak out for those when it will somehow fit their agenda or benefit them!
But when the Russian or Chinese powerful aggressors are at the doorstep of Ukraine or Hong Kong/Taiwanâwhere is anybody to speak out?
Last night, I imagined the people of Ukraine sitting in fear, in worry about what will happen to them, their families, their homes.
Do the world leaders care anything about the lives of real peopleâmen, women, and childrenâor only about how any conflict makes them look, and how they are polling, and the next election?
Morality and conscience–is it on life support or dead in this narcissist world of the powerful and elite. đ

I liked this sign:
Truth does not mind being questioned.
A lie does not like being challenged.
This seems like truth to me!
People who push an agenda and their propaganda never like to discuss it or answer questions about it. It’s usually prejudice in some way and they just want to ram it down people’s throats.
Questioning and shedding light on things that don’t seem right is part of our moral and civic duty.
Of course, the haters and liars would rather that we just accept the falsehoods they are peddling like stupid sheep who blindly follow them down the road to perdition. đ

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called “When Compromise Means Death.”
The nations of the world look on with horror at the âplight of the Palestinians,â but they turn a blind eye to the chants of âdeath to Israelâ and as the Palestinians turn billions of dollars of aid into relentless homicide bombs and send thousands of missiles into Israel civilian population centers. The compromise that Israel has shown would end the Palestinian âvictim statusâ and thus endanger their endless money and support that flows freely from the UNRWA to prop up the corrupt Palestinian leadership. The reason that the Palestinian leadership doesnât want an agreement is that they want the Jews dead âfrom the river to the sea!â
Israel has shown that is willing to make difficult and painful decisions and support Palestinian autonomy for the sake of peace, but will the Palestinians ever compromise at all? As Golda Meir said:
Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.
Please G-d, the day will arrive soon, when reason will overcome hate, and peace will prevail over prejudice, and Jews and Palestinians can live side-by-side, as neighbors and as friends.

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called “The UNHRC is a Bloody Joke.”
While the UNHRC has an incredibly important and noble mission to promote and protect human rights around the world, in reality, the UNHRC, conducts itself like its anti-Semitic parent, the United Nations (UN) which regularly condemns Israel at every turn of world events. Made up of a variety of despots, dictators, terrorists, and rotten-to-the core human rights violators, the UNHRC refuses to condemn the incessant attacks and terrorism against Israel, but rather they defend those that want to âthrow the Jews into the seaâ and in turn use anti-Semitic attacks on Israel to hide their own fraud, waste, abuse, and corruption at home.
Unfortunately, while the UN âCommissionâ on Human Rights was replaced primarily in name only by a UN Human Rights âCouncil,â nothing much else changed in their wanton display of corruption, anti-Semitism, and human rights violations. To this day, the leaders of these countries use Israel and the Jews as an object of hatred and for persecution to deflect and hide the repression and atrocities that they routinely and wantonly do to their very own people.

This seems like it could be a major theme of the U.S. economy.Â
“Buy Now, Pay Later!”
And then…
“Foreclosure”
You can’t borrow infinitely.
It eventually has to be repaid.
Where will the money come from?
Print more.
Worth less! đ

What can one really say about Baltimore?
It’s a city in gross decay and it needs help.
“This land is your land. This land is my land.”
This land needs a serious helping hand.
A wealthy country where “the roads are paved in gold.”
But the inner cities are crying out in poverty, crime, and neglect. đ

If there’s a construction site, then there can certainly be a destruction site.Â
Most of the time, it seems like more destruction than construction really going on.
It’s amazing how a construction job on one corner can take more than a whole year, when they built the entire U.S. highway system in not such a long time.
Now-a-days, money just goes down the sinkhole with the littlest jobs taking seemingly forever and the costs spiraling out of control.Â
Hello, is anyone out there managing this stuff?
Oh right, it’s all funny money anyway.
Let’s just keep printing some more. đ
