There are no two sides! NATO is an amazing success!

I know I don't have many followers or even many people who read these posts. But this issue is such a no brainer if you love our country and desire world peace and stability. War has been avoidedin Europe in member nation countries. There would not be a war in Ukraine if they were a NATO member. Georgia would not have conflicts with Russia or be under constant threat if they were a member. NATO is a gift to the United States and we must make every effort to keep it strong and give strong support to strengthening that great organization unless....... Some people support Putin and Russian efforts to expand their territory. They do not strongly condemn Russia in its war in Ukraine and they support Russia being welcomed back into the G-7(8) and almost reward them for their aggression. Again, NATO has been a gift and there are not two sides to this issue if you love our country and seek world peace and stability!!! We can't support any U.S. President screwing that up!!!

There are no two sides- DOGE HURT OUR COUNTRY AND THE WORLD!!!

Make no mistake about it! DOGE hurt our country and the world. I have not heard one logical explanation how DOGE helped in any way! We had the greatest country in the world. No! We had the greatest country in the history of the world! That has changed in so many ways and I'll list the reasons in my future blogs. Musk hurt us! Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost due to his actions! It will take decades to recover and restore the work that his actions have destroyed. Yep! There are no two sides to this issue!

There are no two sides! Russia is wrong in the war in Ukraine!

How can anyone disagree with this statement! But this might be possible if people don't know history or disregard facts!!! Also, many people like sound bites and don't do necessary research before taking a position. Ukraine became independent following the break up of the Soviet Union back in the early nineties. That alone should be justification for the United States and the world community to vehemently oppose Putin and Russia when they invaded Crimea (part of Ukraine) more than a decade ago. But Ukraine had hundreds of nuclear weapons when it was part of the Soviet Union and they voluntarily gave them up, dismantled and destroyed them in the interest of world peace as long as they received assurances that they would be protected against threats to their independence. The United States, Russia and other countries in the world community assured Ukraine protections if they did that. YES!!! Russia promised Ukraine protection if they did that!!! Two decades later they invaded Ukraine!!! There are many other reasons why there are no two sides on this issue. Ukraine has been amazing in pretty much fighting to keep its freedom on its own with very limited support from the world community. The United States itself should be more ashamed than any other country. We should fully support Ukraine in as many ways as possible!!!

There are not two sides!!! The top five!!!

There are not two sides!!! The top five!!! I know I don't have many readers who read my blogs but I always see one or two every time I post one of these. I read and view a lot of posts and always try to consider the positions of the people I read/view. Some are based on strong supportive facts and information. But there are some topics that there can only be one side that is just and righteous! I'm going to support these with my blogs over the next few weeks. I hope more and more people speak out on these topics and I will be hopeful that my views and rationales will help to influence at least one other person. Here we go. 1. Russia invaded Ukraine and Putin is evil and corrupt. 2. Musk and DOGE hurt our country and indirectly caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people world wide. 3. NATO is an incredibly important organization and preserves peace and protects democracies including the United States. 4. The war in Iran is wrong and the United States was not justified in starting this war. 5. Israel should be supported in many ways by the United Staes. But Netenyahu is corrupt and is a war criminal and should not be supported by the U.S.

The Election Speech-Brilliant!

The Election Speech - Brilliant Everyone in the news media is talking about the speech last night. Almost everyone is noting that there was little or no evidence that shows that elections are not fair and well run. "All politics is local" is a saying most have heard and agree with. I see workers at my polling place and members of both parties run the operation and they always do a great job. States run elections in their own state. The process works pretty darn good. Our system works and it is almost impossible for election results to be changed from a national or global level. But wait! I'm even talking about the speech! The news media and others are not talking about the war. We are not talking about the Epstein Files. We are not talking about rising costs and the impact of tariffs. We are not talking about paying the the January 6th criminals Trump pardoned. We are not talking about his continued support of Russia and his close relationship with Putin. We are not talking about his absolute corruption as he makes billions of dollars off his presidency. We are not talking about his cruel and criminal treatment of immigrants as innocent people are killed by ICE. We are not talking about the effects of DOGE and how those actions have led to the loss of 100's of thousands of lives worldwide due to the loss of USAID. I could go on and on. The point that I'm making is that we are not talking about any of this. We have been absolutely distracted by the speech last night! That is why the speech last night was brilliant! He has distracted us again and we are not talking about the countless ways he is hurting all U.S. and global citizens.

The War In Iran- Total Disaster for the United States

The War in Iran-Total Disaster for the United States War is sometimes necessary and unavoidable. Iran "may" have been developing nuclear weapons and the United States and Israel may have decided they had to act to make sure that did not happen. But our country has to be absolurely sure before going to war unless we are directly attacked. But that was not the case. As a result, we lost 14 U.S, servicepeople and numerous others wounded, But thousands of innocent Iranian civilians also were kelled by the United States and Israel. I won't even talk about the monetary and diplomatic losses the U.S. has suffered. There will be so many views and opinions concerning this war. But the only good thing that has taken place is the ceasefire. But boy oh boy it sure would have been great if we never went to war!!! That could have happened if the President had worked with Congress before unilaterally doing it himself!!!

The "Fourth Branch"

The "Fourth Branch" The "Free Press" is a gift to any democracy. Our U.S. Constitution lists three branches of government but heavily relies on the "Free Press" to insure its success. The "Free Press" holds our elected leaders accountable. But this is only possible when the "truth" is upheld in our media. Accurate facts that are checked and verified before reporting are absolutely essential in determining the "truth." We are seeing so many examples of inaccurate and absolutely false information in our country today. This is when "The Free Press" slowly becomes just propaganda for the party and people in power. But the power is still with "We The People" and we can demand that all forms of media support their reporting with verifiable and supported facts in order for us to watch, listen to and support their media outlet. I applaud and support reporters and media sources who practice strong journalistic practices despite pressure and threats from high ranking government officials or extremely powerful corporate leaders. Ethical and moral standards should matter! Trying to make life better and fairer for all citizens and people should be a guiding principle for all leaders and our "Free Press" should be one of the major leaders in achieving that goal. We already have many people and media outlets that do just that. Let's support their efforts!!!
