I'm going to have Khad accompany me more, maybe!

I'm 86.  Need I say more?

She's invaluable to me and to the cause, which I don't stress enough!  She's entitled to work more hours and wants to.  And it's obvious to me, she's worth it!  But she and the company she contracts through will decide among those that pay the bills!

My estimation! 

The Great News of the Day was carried on the Fareed Zakaria Show, GPS, yesterday: there's a thawing between the US and China!

The world is at a monumental crossroads: West and East are joining forces on climate

 change; and what disagreements among world leaders are being met headlong around the table of 

peace.

First signs of the change: tackling the question of  Palestinian independence.  

My opinion.

Monitoring the Israeli's in Gaza a brilliant idea!

The Israeli's are showing the PM's policies.

Okay for now.  Comes with the territory I'm living in.

Reporting in: I fell at 7th and H Streets bus stop! I'm ok.

A woman waiting for the bus picked me up and took me and my grocery cart home.

She left a not with me.

It must have been 2:45-2:50 PM at the stop when I fell going north, waiting for the P6 bus.  She helped me to get to my room.  It is now 4:09 PM.

I'm going to rest, after I put the groceries away.

Church tomorrow, but my health aide is coming in first.

I'm ok, thankfully.

Stock market in US climbs above 38,000 mark for first time!

 President Biden's economic policies are certainly the causes of this important sign that he's moving the country forward progressively and positively!

He's also found a way to forgive federal student loans when his initial attempts to do so were blocked.

He has demonstrated he's for the people--the little fellow and gal!  Hooray!

My opinion.  

Lingering impressions of China's Belt and Road projects in Asia should lead to China further investment in tech and renewable energy projects.

And of course the purchasing of China's electric cars.  Overall, the infrastructure effort has left the Asian peoples smarter in their insistence on what they want and promoted a lasting interchange in trade and commerce in expanded areas beyond infrastructure in the near future with China.

My opinion.

Rumor has it from the Middle East that Hamas was acting in a proxy posture.

Just as the Houthis are acting as proxies in the Red Sea, might not Hamas been acting as a proxy for Iran, also in its onslaught of Israelis?

I came across the rumor here in town, today.  However, the plan was circulated in the region, I understand.

My asking myself on paper. 

I've been to the Middle East: I know the power of the Saudis there.

The Trump Clan is unaware of the people he thinks he could make deals with and rest at night!

The oil cartel has dominated the region for years and years.  They take people to the cleaners!

My opinion.

The Pondering of the "still small voice" internalized with the self= a reasoned approach to personal right action!

Psychologists call it "weighing alternatives to arrive at the right course(s) of action for you."  It's talking internally with yourself to alight on the rational thing to do, given your set of values and your goals (longer range; shorter range).

The important concept herein introduced is arrival of the right course of action for you at this time.  It's talking it out as if to another--even to God--to get His approval in your next steps of following His Lead. 

In Judaism, it's the ultimate decision on what to do--recommended by your thinking it through using reason and common sense.  Put in religious terms, it's arriving at knowing what God wants you to do!

I've used this concept in deciding upon what's to my advantage to do--opens up more possibilities, etc.

My opinion.

They gave me a space heater without instructions and wished me luck!

The night manager and I figured out by trying different sockets how to get the thing going.  It's a puzzle!

I'm just reporting in as it gets tougher.  Hanging in there--and I've got good care over at GW Hospital and complex--really good; and nowhere to go.

Regards,


 

The air from Moscow is drifting over Kyiv: President Putin wants another term to help friends and is willing to talk peace through a cease-fire arrangement.

 I hope President Zelensky would consider winds that don't often blow favorably as at present, but I think he should consider this a good omen for Ukrainian development of his country after so much war and stench.

It's worked out for Georgia (home of the former Premier J. Stalin), because its Russian territory provides a glimpse into what the West can offer former Russian satellites of the USSR when they settle down in the lap of independence and freedom of thought and action of a people doing their own thing, un-encumbered by the voice of a dictator in their ear.  

My opinion.

There's a world crisis in governance of countries as military with their weapons dominate.

 Countries in Africa are in a state of flux and chaos as the military assert their take-overs of government, Niger being a recent military government.  But from the deterioration of law and order in the Sudan, as two military bands, one appropriated and the other an intruder, to coups wrought by the military to throw out any semblance of the people's choice, in Niger and several other countries in the Sehel (among them: Chad and Mali) to the Congo in their mineral fights with Ugandans the Continent is fraught with problems of migrant populations and poor people living at levels of bare existence.

Desirous to control the drug industry, the military of Myanmar has continued its reign of terror over its people.

Indeed, the citizenry of these lowly countries are caught in the middle over the rights of their country's wealth of gems and minerals.

The citizenry can merely cry out for food and drink.  They have little sources to turn to, given their rulers have guns and ammunition; and some militaries, airplanes.

So, now, the people of the United States can understand why their country is to where migrants from hostile lands run to, and from they run away to escape the terror that looms there.

The world through its United Nations needs to address the lack of leadership among the countries today.   A topic for the G20?

My opinion.
