The VA nonsense: your're going to die!

I like what my former pastor at Christ Church used to say:  face up to it; you're going to die! I don't attend the church anymore because they might be in jeopardy.

Anyway, the Brits and the Americans now are facing a terrible dilemma.  You tell the patient you're old and you don't have a chance in a million to survive to next year,or you tell them we'll put you on some list for a procedure or a doctor-recommended blah, blah, blah.  Now the patient and his family will opt for whatever gives them hope despite the odds. Or they're young and hope for a future when they don't have a chance, given the studies of people with their condition.  You got to brace up, man.

But the fact of the matter is I must live by reality.  I'm old and I know it.  I accept it.  But most people want that last glimmer of some procedure or some medical magic that doesn't exist.  So, the costs of medical care go up because they can't accept death as a real prospect in their life.  It's sad.

So, call me a messenger of death.  It's coming to every one of us.  I won't allow federal funds to be used to prolong life that has no chance of living.  Eat that;and enjoy the time you have with your loved one before he's (or, she's) gone.  There's too many that are younger and can survive for twenty to thirty years and have a good life, if only they could get the treatment the old selfishly want from the federal government.  England has the same problem.

The black genes have problems, so I've heard

I'll probably be considered a racist.  But I knew people who knew Malcom-X; and he honored me. 

The problem is that the world is turning to white.  If black guys would have fathers with white girls , it would be tremendously helpful.  All of Africa, is plagued with the complex--simply because medical science and the doctors, I've heard say. concur white genes are better genes.  The black genes are have dangers.

Alright, you say I don't know what I'm talking about.  But I'm more concerned about the black communities all over the world.  Please, I'd suggest you guys get together to find a solution that will be acceptable to black guys.  All I can do is to press on to integrate your kids with the rest.  I am terribly sorry.

Ukraine is saved!

I maybe have someone who is an old friend, Zbignieuw Brezezski, former National Security Adviser under Carter; and I asked his staff to research whether NATO need only defend countries committed to it.

His staff came back with the following facts:
1.  many members of NATO--I guess some 28 countries--are to be defended by NATO, even though many have not paid even a modicum 2% for membership fees.

2.  Importantly, NATO by its charter can support and defend countries committed to Western democracy even though they are not members of  NATO at the time.

Ukraine would fall under the proviso #2.  Let me explain that the whole entire Russian satellite configuration needs that support, because President Putin is seeking to realign them under his control; and Russian domination; and they don't want it ever again!!

Yeah, it think what has enabled the Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia to make trading arrangements with EU countries is NATO as backup and protector. Thanks to the West; but particularly, to the US military!  

Iraqi federalism

It's true, Iraqi needs a true federal government.  That doesn't mean it should be split up into 3 parts, just have 3 parts of one nation..

The Elections in Egypt

This is a great time in the unfolding history of Egypt, led by its distinguished military.  I am elated that the former military chief el-Sissi has become President of Egypt. 

My I simply remind him that the fall of President Morsi was that he attempted to keep out of his government any opposition to the Muslim Brotherhood, and that he displayed an ineffectual array of managerial and administrative skills.

I know the military have grave doubts about the loyalty of the Muslim Brotherhood to Egypt, but I believe the Brotherhood must have a significant place in the government of President el-Sissi, nonetheless--for the sake of Egyptian unity.

Be that as it may, I want to enjoin President el-Sissi to take a major role in the affairs of Africa, given his great wisdom in the affairs of Egypt.  Africa needs his leadership!  The African Union needs his expertise!

I am certain the US will be of valuable assistance to the new President as he assumes his new role in Egypt.
