Gentle Ramblings

   The state of Israel was created on May 18th, 1948. Harry Truman was the US president and David Ben-Gurion was the first Israeli Prime minister. I'm not going to get into a history lesson about Palestinian evictions, the six day war or the fact most Arab nations still refuse to accept Israel's existence. This is about the current events going on in Israel and the surrounding areas. Israel is hell-bent on expansion, that can't be disputed. They're also primed to possess the most powerful military in the middle east, with the help of the US, UK, France etc. The only real competition in the region, Turkey are more worried about defending their borders from Kurdish "rebels" and securing a chunk of Libya's oil. Benjamin Netayahu, current prime minister, potential convict,and Zionist hero has adeptly used his abnormally close relationship with the Trump admistration to break basically every international crime in the books.     The outrageous Golan Heights ann...

     Why must our military budget be the highest it's been since World War II? How during a pandemic that's nearly a year old and still killing people at the same rate then at it's original peak our Senate still sells it soul to the Pentagon? In 2019 the US defense budget was three times larger than China and a shockingly ten times the size of Russia. This years budget is filled with billions marked up for one air force jets massively overpriced program, the immaculate, invisible, yet grossly 1.3 trillion dollar F35 that still hasn't been thrust into any combat to date. Modernizing our nuclear program, which is another red herring, considering after years of mutually assured destruction, nuclear weapons will certainly never be used by our government barring North Korea finally flying of the deep end and it launching a nuke at Japan.      This despicable use of taxpayer dollars spent on the defense budget is nothing new. According to numbers compiled by Scie...

   In the forty year history of CNN, they've never had a golden nugget quite like Trump. Someone to spew their hatred upon eighteen to twenty four hours daily. MSNBC, which has always been well left of CNN, have been in T.V. news paradise the last four years.Trump bashing became a nightly ritual, laughing at his ridiculous, obnoxious oratory. They also jumped on any opportunity to get Democrats in Washington to think impeachment or even the use of the 25th amendment, which deems the president physically or mentally unfit to carry out his duties. Fox news, though on the opposite end of the political spectrum, used his massive fanbase to perfection turning their station from the Hannity, O'Reilly channel to Trump TV. He called in regularly, their hosts spoke of him like he was a higher being who lived and operated on a higher plain then anyone else. As the four years of Trumps hirings and firings, management and mismanagement, love him or hate him, if you turned on any of the ca...

   Now that the initial euphoria of Donald Trump's election loss has begun to wear off on everyone except, extreme Trump haters, some liberal democrats and a certain phony late night television host we can finally get down to brass tacks. President elect Joseph Biden, former senator and Obama Vice President is being heralded by most in the mainstream media as the man who will bring dignity and empathy back to the white house. The man who can fix the covid-19 disaster, which currently still rages out of control. Somehow, pull off a miracle to get obstructionist, Mitch Mcconnell to allow another trillion dollar stimulus package to pass through a more than likely republican controlled Senate. Other then a few moderately important executive orders including, overturning the racist muslim travel ban, rejoining the World Health Organization, and Paris Climate Accords. Biden and his supporters are hopeful his sympathetic, "good guy" image will be enough to keep his approval rati...
