US Politics - October, 2023

The world has reacted with shock and outrage to the Hamas attacks on Israel, which is understandable if you support Israel. Shockingly, there are still individuals in the US and a significant number of people in Germany who hold antisemitic views. But then again, the world and especially the US should be shocked that Hamas actually won the election in in 2006, or in other words, "took out" its opponents on it's way to power


But we need to ask another question: Why did the 2006 elections take place? The explanation lies in the political ideals—or, more correctly, the naïveté—of President George W. Bush. (Much of this comes from the reporting for my 2008 book, Daydream Believers: How a Few Grand Ideas Wrecked American Power.)


To start, here is the Hamas Charter (from Wikipedia). Perhaps this is the reason why the CIA is involved in influencing elections, as seen in the Ukraine during the Maidan Coup. However, it raises questions about what is happening at the border. According to the prevailing view, the individuals crossing are mostly beautiful women with scarves and freedom fighters. If this is indeed the case, why didn't Mr. Bush ensure that democratic principles were the primary foundation of a democracy? Furthermore, when Bush made his recent statement, it makes one wonder if he was hoping for such an event to occur sooner so that he could have initiated the war.


And then there is this issue: Bush claimed not to negotiate with terrorists. However, it seems that the war hawks, particularly Netanyahu, did not want them to gain that much. It resembles the situation in Ukraine, possibly an attempt to provoke a war. In Germany, there is a comprehensive history of Palestine available, titled "Palestine's Tragedy: The Story of a People's Suffering," offering a different perspective on the Middle East conflict.


In 2017, Hamas amended its charter and agreed to accept a mini state in the West Bank and Gaza, like the PLO and the Arab states. This and many other things were bitterly disputed within their ranks, but the new charter was approved by the "Shura" assembly. Prior to this, senior Hamas members secretly met with Knesset members, including those from the Likud, to seek mutually acceptable solutions. They risked their lives, the Israelis their political careers and a prison sentence. But Netanyahu dismissed the charter amendment as a deception even before it was passed, preferring to support the violent Hamas wing so as not to have to make peace. 


Trumps Deals – or when Tweets change the World Order, Neocons support Netanyahu unconditional, in its entire context this may fit perhaps the conditions of a War Crime? 


Finally, the Republicans have a speaker, and it is someone the left-leaning media and the over 100 left-wing bloggers will need to divide their resources to continue their rhetorical assault on the as-yet-unproven accusations against Trump. However, it seems that the word "peace" is non-existent in their vocabulary, and they are determined to dismantle anything that doesn't align with their ideology. Note the Words Southerner and Trump Supporter, perhaps he is one of Biden's “NAZI’S”. 


But it remains to be seen how well Johnson will fare at uniting his fractured conference as the House immediately plunges into debates over government spending — or in gaining trust from Democrats who are deeply suspicious of his socially conservative record and support for Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.


Here is a taste from MSNBC Democrat Strategist Chai Komanduri, while the whole world is laughing supporting a lost President? 


When it comes to winning, Gamesmanship has little rules, and while we claim democracy and humanity; the War Mongers continue to come out swinging. This seems to align with President Biden's doctrine, as he takes on the role of a global leader or world figure, unless he is overshadowed by an even larger egomaniac like Gavin Newsome, who even attributes homelessness to climate change. One may wonder when he plans to unite the Republic of California with China to prevent secession from his own people. It's a curious thought whether tech giants like Apple, Facebook, and Yahoo effectively run the State of California.


Now we have Israel to defend, so no one is reporting about the Ukraine. Did you notice globally how Selinsky fell from the reporters Chair? The "Bloggers" of the world have picked up the pace reporting his winnings, one tank and square foot a week, while reports surface that the US is actively engaged in the War..


Assassination squads of Ukrainian intelligence services have murdered dozens of people at home and abroad in the last twenty months alone. Among them were Russian military personnel and civilians both in the Russian-occupied territories and in Russia itself, as well as Ukrainian collaborators and "traitors". However, who is considered a "traitor" has not been specified.


This reports the Washington Post relying on interviews with over two dozen active and retired Ukrainian, American and Western intelligence officers. All murders had been approved by President Volodymyr Zelensky.


And the NY Times, A group of Ukrainian Army soldiers pierced by Russian grenades and mortar shells arrived at a hospital recently in need of surgery. It would have been a familiar scene from the bloody war grinding on in Ukraine, except for two crucial differences: Most of the wounded soldiers were American, and so was the hospital — the U.S. Army’s flagship medical center in Germany.


Is it an answer for the desperation? All reasonable voices would like to know where things stand, as we bury another 150 million in money we do not have.


And the Biden Administration prides themselves on transparency, yet has nothing to say. Do they not see the need to tell the people? 


Let's hope that amidst all this turmoil, the U.S. can still hold elections next year. At some point, the FBI and DOJ will need to emerge from the challenges they face, and President Biden may run out of excuses, especially if international politics continue to backfire. Israel, with the assistance of the U.S., may eliminate Hamas, but the hatred that's created in the process and the absence of peace in Ukraine won't be easily resolved, especially concerning the Ukrainian "Russians." It appears that in Biden's perspective, "woke" and "inclusion" aren't solely about race but also about ideology, which aligns with the Neocons' viewpoint.


The recent rightward shift in European elections, sometimes labeled as "Nazi" by some, seems to be fueled in part by Biden's allies in NATO and the green/red alliances, which are struggling to transition away from coal, gas, and oil, as they still serve as backup for the intermittent energy production from the sun and wind. It's a complex issue, but there's room for technology to help solve these problems. Many people believe that individuals are generally more intelligent than what is portrayed in the media and in Washington.

Government shutdown averted, but at what cost for the Democratic party ? Is the new generation of Democrats so ideological that it raises the question of renaming them "Dementor-crats," taking ideology to defy any logic . Their hatred for Elon Musk and Trump runs so deep that they end up contradicting themselves. There is no question that the budget deficit now requires immediate action —not more taxes that suppress overall spending, but policies that fuel economic growth and increase tax revenue. Immigration : With border crossings at near-zero levels , we now have an opportunity to implement a merit-based immigration system to attract the skilled labor needed to support reshoring efforts. While it may not reduce the overall number of immigrants, it would shift budgets—moving from dependency to immediate economic contribution. The skilled labor gap is a documented reality —there is no denying it. The Teachers Union continues to claim it's helping everyone, yet it’s failing to educate children. Anger over budget cuts distracts from years of waste, and most states arguably perform better. The U.S. education system is currently ranked #31 globally , yet—like many Democrats—the union blames everyone else for its failures. Despite ranking #1 in per-pupil spending , the system cannot deliver the diversity and choice families want. So, who are we listening to—parents or unions ?

Tariffs, Dogecoin, and the Popper Paradox: Navigating Trade, Tolerance and much more in 2025

Timothy Snyder is an American historian specializing in the history of Central and Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and the Holocaust. His most recent analysis displays that " Hate" is not a good advisor .  But if you checked the Democratic representation during the Joint session of Congress , their body language suggested otherwise. As long as the Democrats are represented by "Dinosaurs" like Sanders, Waters, and Pelosi, even their strongest strategists may face challenges. James Carville , who is often outspoken, is shifting in rhetoric. Meanwhile, even a well-placed analyst will not change the overall impression . Her family farm was part of Hygrade Meat Company, founded by her great-grandfather Samuel Slotkin, who emigrated from Minsk in 1900. Hygrade was the original company behind Ball Park Franks , now owned by Tyson Foods . Chris Murphy commented via MoveOn.org but offered no solutions. Mary Trump , a psychologist, has long been a staunch critic of her uncle, frequently warning of the risks he poses. She said she was traumatized by his 2016 election win, fearing that he was uniquely ill-qualified to govern in a crisis. Let's follow all legal challenges for now. The Supreme Court has addressed the USAID ruling . Ultimately, the government will need to navigate these legal hurdles. Imagine: The endgame could be avoiding a Russia–BRICS alliance and instead fostering a Russia–US alliance, which could change the landscape of global peace. Given Russia and China's vast rare earth reserves, integration could be more beneficial than conflict. Gaza remains a focal point, and time will tell how the situation evolves. If diplomatic efforts succeed, we may see meaningful negotiations unfold in the near future.

Is Zelensky now running the world ? It appears so after his historic tantrum at the White House. Or is he merely a figure acting on behalf of the EU, Kaja Kallas, and European leaders (France, UK, Germany) to secure a seat at the table for “peace negotiations”? - Most likely, he is maneuvering to ensure continued EU support, including troops, while hoping that the EU convinces the Boltons of the US to send reinforcements as well. - Unfortunately for him, the US halted its advance in Berlin in 1945. Some on both sides may still be unhappy with that outcome. - Had Churchill and a real army continued, they could have pushed the Soviets back then. Note: The longer this conflict drags on, the only real losers are Ukraine and Europe. It's time for the US to explore trade agreements with Russia and South America. Accessing Russia via Alaska or Greenland remains an option. Should Europe be left to the Romans ? A Swiss newspaper featured an image of Mr. Murphy, who went on CNN after the meeting to ridicule JD and the President for their failure. Is he a traitor?
