Pledge my loyalty to no politician or party. US foreign policy, climate change, Middle East then and now, corruption in government.

Iranian Pres. Pezeshkian at UNGA spoke of terrorism in Palestine, particularly in Gaza, noted the more than 70,000 killed at the hands of the real terrorists. He stated Tehran seeks nuclear tech for development & not to destroy societies. Affirmed Iran was not an aggressor state, never started a war

At it stand now, nearly half of American families cannot afford basic necessities, as the cost of essential goods & services is rising faster than earnings-Urban.org. The repercussions of the cost of diesel have yet to hit home & they will & hard, what then?

El Nino's strength is measured by H2O temp in a region of the central Pacific around the equator. If temp is 0.9 degrees F. warmer than usual, becomes an El Nino Top of the scale is 3.6 degrees F, considered very strong. Recent reading 4.9 degrees F, expected to keep growing for next 2 to 4 months!

Postmortem sperm retrieval (PMSR) is now a state policy in Israel. One-quarter of all male soldiers killed since Oct. 7 have undergone the procedure State funded & overseen by Health Ministry, PMSR is performed at Israel’s four major hospitals, where the sperm is also frozen and stored-972 Magazine.

Trump at UN Gen. Assembly: "I have a big decision to make. Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild & create a far greater country than it ever was before? "Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic & do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill & destroy people and countries again?"

So shameful! During Trump's speech at the UN Gen. Assembly today he called on all member nations of the ICC to resign immediately from what he called a "rogue institution." The ICC was built upon the legal foundation & core principles established by the Nuremberg Trials.

Consider the power the US has over the World Bank & International Monetary Fund to influence global economics, market reforms & geopolitical alignments, as the US is the largest shareholder, 16% in both, giving them veto power, as to who gets what or not & all according to US's economic interests.

Taxpayers have funded approximately $101.2M for the sadistic bastard to travel to his golf courses & Mar-a-Lago, since his 2nd term in Jan. '25 thru early '26 Mar-a-Lago estimated $3.4M per trip Bedminster estimated $1.1 million per trip Doral estimated $2.7 million per trip Scotland $9.7 million

Car repos & 90-day delinquencies a historic high in 2026, driven by record-high monthly payments, vehicle prices & inflationary pressures. 90-day delinquencies hit 5.6% in Q1, surpassing Great Depression peaks, 5.5% in Q2-Lending Tree Repos past 2.2 million annually, averaging over 5,400 per day.

More than 5,000 Palestinians have lost their limbs in Gaza, around 18% were children. 76% of the amputation cases were lower limbs, while around one-third were above the knee, which requires more complex rehabilitation & training on using prosthetics, according to the WHO-The Palestinian Info Center

Make this man go away!! Trump states he's open to the idea of meeting with the Iranian pres. That's going to happen, considering the US obliterated the Ayatollah Khomeini & many of his family on the 1st day. Then added, he'll decide in the next few day to effectively end the country-Al Jazeera

Definitely one for the books! Vance is blaming Iran for the rising fuel prices in the US, because Tehran was “creating fear and threats in shipping”-Al Jazeera The bloody POSs lie thru his teeth whenever it suits their need to cover up their tomfuckery May they all be struck by lightening & soon!

US pres. & that of Israel has so much in common. Israeli soldier Elor Azaria was convicted of shooting a wounded Palestinian man in Hebron in 2016, captured on camera by a Palestinian photographer working for B'Tslem, Israeli Pres. Hezog pardoned him, erasing his criminal record.-Haaretz

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) urging ISR authorities to spare civilians & humanitarian vehicles after a series of deadly attacks in Gaza MSF statement: “Israeli forces are showing that nowhere is safe in Gaza.” Israeli airstrikes continue & “each day Palestinians are killed or wounded”-Al Jazeera

Hundreds of thousands took to the streets in Yemen to protests Saudi Arabia's claim Ansar Allah bombed Mecca on 15 Sept, claiming this was a "lie of the century" & a fabrication, maintaining Yemeni military do not target Islamic holy sites. Why would they bomb their own holy sites? Makes no sense!

US government has no regard for human life, if this were so, the US would make sure that Israel adheres to both US-backed ceasefires in Gaza & in Lebanon. Gaza ceasefire, 11 Oct '25, nearly 1,400 Palestinians killed nearly 5,000 injured. Lebanon ceasefire 16 Apr '26-over 4,383 killed, 12,407 injured

US started this. Remaining 27 Iranian airlines flying globally will be shut down in 2 days, according to Scott Bessent: “If they land you cannot provide them with fuel, you cannot provide them with landing services, you cannot sell them tickets or you will be knocked out of the dollar system.”

The internationally recognized gov of Yemen receives extensive economic & military backing from Saudi Arabia 3 guess as to why, 1st two don't count Roughly 70% to 80% of the people in Yemen live in areas controlled by Ansar Allah. Saudi Arabia has had an 11 yr blockade on Ansar Allah territory

Trump is intent on blowing the whole ME up, other than admit defeat. In light of Trump's latest threat to destroy the entire country of Iran & for him the "question" was "if & when." Iran issued a warning of a painful response should US launch any new large-scale strikes.

Congress isn't working for the betterment of Americans. Haven't worked for the betterment of Americans for decades or we'd have single-payer health, living wages, better public education, infrastructure, modern public transportation & on. Their failures created a gap which Trump crawled thru.

The UN Environmental Program has finally admitted the world is set to cross the 1.5 degrees Celsius mark. Report," Limiting Overshoot," puts best-case scenario peak temperature rise at 1.8°C; others suggest over 2°C

ISR airstrikes across Lebanon have killed at least 39 people, including children, over the weekend. These murderous atrocities are occurring under a US-backed ceasefire & the US is doing jack shit about it! For me, this adds to the war crimes the US has committed in Iran. Who are the terrorist now?

Iran's military command stated today it had received info the US, w/backing of some regional countries, are preparing to resume military actions against Iran Iran vowed any US attack will be met with strikes on US bases & interests in the region & any parties to the conflict-The Times of Israel

ISR setters stormed the occupied E Jerusalem Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, the 3rd holiest site in Islam, again today. A group known as the Temple Movement want is to replace Al-Aqsa Mosque & the Dome of the Rock of Jerusalem w/a 3rd Jewish Temple to fulfill biblical prophecy & bring about the messiah!
