There is so much going on in the world that it is a shame we are not big enough here to cover the news from a different view point. Some things are bothering me and some puzzling. Just in case someone does want to consider this it is being left here.
It was disappointing to watch the republicans vote to give aid to Israel. Why are we giving aid to countries that use us and abuse us? Israelis can have dual citizenship to support liberalism here at home and help a country in the Middle East that has practices not legally acceptable in the United States. Think about cultural integrity on that count.
Along the lines of aid to foreign countries it is distressing that the people in the United States want to end aid to Ukraine. Whether for good or bad the United States is in a proxy war with Ukraine. If we pull out now Putin will probably attack a smaller NATO country in retaliation for working with the United States. That obligates us to defend a NATO ally. Then we are in Ukraine or maybe fighting Russia with American boots on the ground.
At home we continue to ignore the assaults on freedoms. While Joe Biden is touting his inflation reduction bill the republicans are silent about the fact that it was that bill which calls for the hiring of 87000 new IRS agents. Once the cash economy is gone we will basically be socialist. The only thing left will be to eliminate the electoral college. It appears that the democrat DJT will make that his signature legislation when he gets elected.
