Apparently the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) "has placed a special emphasis on hiring employees w/ a severe intellectual disability, as well as vision & psychiatric disability. These include vacancies for the role of airline pilot and air traffic control specialist. It's well meaning not to discriminate against people in many-most instances but we need to draw the line somewhere. Airline safety being one of them.

Russian journalist Dmitry Kiselyov has requested to interview US Pres. Joe Biden. Kiselyov reasoned "Russians would appreciate the opportunity to hear Biden's take on how to stabilize the international situation, restore trust, and renew cooperation between the US and Russia amid the crisis ties between the two powers." But Biden's invested so much in money & weapons supporting Ukraine he's unlikely to grant such an interview.

Recent polls in the US reveal over 75% adults say the country is heading in the wrong direction. At the core of the problem is big moneyed interests controlling the electoral process. They determine who is to run for office, who gets elected all to the benefit of those interests. Big money must be made illegal in the electoral process. Without this fundamental change nothing will change the direction of the country.

The US and UK attacking the Houthi's in Yemen w/ airstrikes and naval bombardments was never authorized by the UN Security Council and is therefore illegal under international law. These attacks just reveal the hubris arrogance of the US and UK that believe they can do anything and they'll never be held accountable for their actions. That's the unfortunate reality in the world wherever US actions are involved.
SHARE Thursday, January 11, 2024 There is a dearth of leadership that courses through the Biden administration
There is a dearth of leadership that courses through the Biden administration. The Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was AWOL for three days without anyone in the administration knowing his whereabouts including the president. That's a serious shirking of his duties. He should be fired.

USA Boxing will now allow "men who transition to female to fight against biological women under certain conditions"..."this policy is to provide fairness and safety for all boxers". What USA Boxing is forgetting it's a biological fact when males reach puberty they are bigger, stronger, quicker, faster than biological females. Sex change operations and hormones won't change that biological fact.

The Pentagon recently failed its sixth consecutive audit. It's the largest recipient of funds the Congress approves and the president signs off on each year. Yet its ability to accurately account where the money goes has never passed an audit. Does it matter? The Pentagon knows, regardless of whether it passes or fails an audit it will still receive the funding each year.
SHARE Tuesday, December 5, 2023 The US must join with the other members of the UN Security Council and bring a cease fire in Gaza
The Israeli siege of Gaza resumed after a 4 day truce ended w/ an exchange of Hamas held hostages & Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. To end this war the US must join w/ other members of the UN Security Council, demand a cease fire, bring the belligerents to the table & establish a two state solution of a sovereign Palestinian state including the West Bank & Gaza adjacent to Israel. And provide a UN peace keeping force.

As to the current crisis in Gaza it could have been resolved many years ago if a truly independent sovereign Palestinian state had been established by the UN adjacent to Israel based on the pre-1967 borders. That never happened & the current crisis in Gaza has its roots in that failure. Now Washington doesn't want to tie Israel's hands in its Gaza operation.
SHARE Saturday, November 11, 2023 Hamas attack in Israel October 7 and getting it to overreact has succeeded getting the world to condemn Israel
It's quite possible Hamas surprise attack in Israel on October 7th where 1400 Israeli's were killed over 240 hostages taken was intended to get the Israeli's to overreact kill thousands of women and children indiscriminately so the world would condemn Israel. At this point it might be safe to say Hamas has succeeded and achieved its aim.

What the Israeli's are doing in Gaza is the indiscriminate killing of innocent people. When people are killed indiscriminately that is genocide. Gaza is an open air prison. The people can't escape. The Israeli's are preventing water, food & fuel from entering the enclave & have cut off internet service presumably to prevent news of its atrocities from being revealed to the world.
(1 comments) SHARE Saturday, October 28, 2023 Did US troops take an active part in the Israeli invasion of Gaza last night?
A non US or western news agency called the Tasnim News Agency has reported that US troops took part in the IDF invasion of Gaza last night. No US main stream media has reported US troops took part in the assault. If it turns out the Tasnim account is correct it would mean this conflict has entered a significant new phase. Who knows where it could lead.

Looking @ the current geopolitical crises happening in the world it's hard to remember a time more explosive than the present one where things could unravel & escalate into a maelstrom. Especially in Gaza. The Israeli IDF seems poised to initiate a ground invasion into Gaza. If & when the IDF invades who knows what further escalation will occur not only from Hamas but also from Hezbollah, Iran & the rest of the Muslim world.
(1 comments) SHARE Tuesday, October 10, 2023 Hamas assault on Israel, rebellion against its oppressor?
Hamas controls the gov't in Gaza. It conducted an assault against Israeli's attacking southern Israeli settlements last Saturday. Hamas has taken 100's of Israeli's hostage. Israel has responded w/ a massive retaliatory bombing attack on Gaza. But consider: the Palestinian's are an occupied people living under Israeli rule. So @ times they resist their captors w/ a violent armed assault. That is what happened on Saturday.

Yesterday at the Atlantic Councils Global Citizens Awards affair European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in her speech insinuated it was Russia that dropped those atomic bombs on Japan August, 1945. She also made no mention of the US in her speech-which we all know was the actual perpetrator to that horror.
SHARE Friday, September 1, 2023 "We're getting our monies worth"
Delusion seems to reign in the US Senate if Senator Richard Blumenthal D-CT is an example of its current makeup. He wrote in the Connecticut Post 8/28/23, "Ukraine is at the tip of the spear, fighting for independence & freedom". The US is "getting our monies worth w/out diversion or misappropriation of American aid". He forgot Ukraine is a corrupt country w/ $millions of military hardware stolen & sold on the black market.
SHARE Saturday, August 12, 2023 Biden this week referred to China's leaders as "bad folks" who do :bad things", not exactly a call to improve relations
At a fundraiser this week in Utah President Biden called Chinese President Xi Jinping's government as being in "trouble". That Beijing's economy was a "ticking time bomb". Biden said, "They got some problems. That's not good because when bad folks have problems, they do bad things". How Biden's comments on China are intended to improve relations w/ that country is simply baffling.
