Think Rodney King said it right in 1992, ‘Why Can’t we all just get along?’
What is it with Benjamin Netanyahu? Should he be condemned as a war criminal for presiding over the killing and starvation of 2 million Palestinians in Gaza? Should he be put out to pasture like Napoleon? Or Biden. Anyone critical of Israel’s actions in Gaza is labeled anti-Semitic by or is it anti Zionism? My guess is that history books will be written about this. Did Epstein really commit suicide while in a New York Federal prison as the New York Times alleges? And one wonders why there is lack of trust in the national media.
Giving is always in season if you have enough extra $$ to give … here are some recomendations:

Books recomends: How Economics Explaines the World and 5000 years of Debt.
History: … The “Democrats” were the party of the KKK in the south and Roosevelt (b.1882 – d. 1945) issued order 9066 to put US Japanese citizens of the United States into concentration camps. And Kamala Harris sent 2-3 letters a week asking for money to “Defend Democracy”. Could have done better with the over 1bill$ she got in campaign contributions from the coastal elites. Even Jill Biden did not like her. As the coastal media … The NYTimes still repeats the mantra that Epstein (b. 1953 d. 1919 age 66) actually committed suicide while in jail. Building 7 … lets pull it? Get real … and you wonder why there is no trust in the national media … all they are is an advertising venue for overpriced watches and fancy houses. Present: Trump played the Trump card and won fair and square playing to income insecurity. The Future: We shall see … The future will be what the future will be. My sense is that None of us will get out of this life alive.
In memory of Kate Steinle …
Killing of Kate Steinle – July 1, 2015, 32-year-old Kathryn “Kate” Steinle was shot and killed while walking with her father and a friend along Pier 14 in the Embarcadero district of San Francisco. The guy that fired the shot that killed her – a José Inez García Zárate of Guanajuato, Mexico, was an illegal immigrant who was deported from the U.S. a total of five times, most recently in 2009. And got off scott free. Last words from Kate to her father, “I am dying” … so sad for what happened to a real human being being killed by an “illegal migrant” in the US. Hope Trump gets control of the border. And to Gavin Newsom … you have never taken responsibility for giving unemployemet insurance payments to the people in your California prison system.
Wish everyone a Happy/prosperious New Year.
Most everyone I talk to think it is the Year of the snake.
