No matter what is my contribution. I'm glad for this marvelous opportunity to serve my country in Washington, DC!

I hope I demonstrate my sincere effort to show my appreciation for doing so.  I'm trying the best I know how.

Repeat, I am thankful for my getting this opportunity, no matter how minuscle my contribution amounts to!

Cordially, 

Are the citizens listening to the weather reports from around the USA?

The nightly news gives the track and field records of our athletes, but do the citizens take in pictures of the flooding--houses broken down, crumbling into the torrents of water of streams taking them out to sea?

Do Americans know they're catching a glimpse of sheer madness, if we continue using fossil fuels?  Look at what happens if we stay on the course of using carbons for our energy source?

Look again at the catastrophes being wreaked upon the earth on TV the nightly news!  It's there on the TV; just watch the nightly news!  

Will a President Trump care as the forests burn up from being so dry and arid or will he fiddle as did Nero while New York City burns--our modern equivalent to ancient Rome?

My opinion.    

Biden's Campaign Team anticipating benefits of next 10 years to cover payoffs of debts owed from education of youths.

 And there's a lot of federal debt that Biden hopes to wipe out as he anticipates the dramatic turn to electricity as the primary energy source for modern living.

The Economist plays up the much highly touted anticipated dependency upon solar as the world's prime energy source in its June 22nd issue, 2024.  The turn to the sun to capture its power for use in moving America will take the next hundred years, but the vision is anticipated amid what's happening in the United States, particularly in the Plains of the Midwest.

That's impelling the country's leaders to rush and install oversize batteries in cars with haste, so as to move beyond carbonization as a prime mover of motor vehicles.  It can't happen fast enough, given the floods and tornadoes overtaking the farm belt of the United States, threatening the very social fabric of millions of its citizens.  Biden's Presidency may be inundated and thrown out to sea, if he cannot convince voters his Presidency is simply a victim, as much as are the rest of the people who inhabit our country!  And that he is following an escape route dictated by science.

For now, his team is out to convince the voters in this Fall's National Election that nature's existential disaster is but a foretaste of a horrific calamity about to descend upon the country, nay, over the world, if the great powerful leaders--including, he as President of the United States--do not act to save us forthwith!  

His charge is great; and he is fit to meet the challenge, if only should he convince the voting public to accept him as President, together with his team, for four more years.

And a solar age of the earth shall be born of epic proportions!  Long may our flag wave!!

My opinion.

The Agriculture Arm of a State University can make sure countries in area are growing diversified plants for produce.

 Agricultural arms of a state university can recommend the fruits and vegetables that are indigenous to the region.  And just as important, can assure there's variety in the plants they choose.  Of course, ag universities help farmers ward off diseases for farm's animals and crops.

The Caribbean region is acutely aware not too over produce one crop or another.  I understand Latin America has some problems of over-production of particular  regional crops, but as I say, ag universities can assure that  a variety of plants are in the markets.  If they find need to call local meetings to work with formers so as to assure variety, I'm sure they will be glad to do it.

My opinion. 

The West needs to keep nuclear knowledge circulating among themselves only.

Know who will benefit from nuclear secrets and be so advised.

This is the time that technological advances are in need regarding nuclear knowledge.

My opinion of its essential worth!

Looks like I've lost out on keeping my health aide! No.

Just too much time I'm finding I waste.

Please advise if there's any chance of keeping her.  She's definitely an asset. 

=============================

I heard.  Thanks muchly.

Congress is listening to the voice of common sense: The CEO of Amtrak and the Chairman of the Board of Amtrak.

The United States is way behind in developing rail traffic.  Mr. Stephen Gardner and Mr. Anthony Coscia, CEO and Chairman of the Board, respectively, are revealing their vision of what rail would look like given the hordes of people that rail will be serving once rail is developed city to city around the country!

That rail from LA to Vegas is awaiting construction! The roads and highways can't be bogged down from traffic jams any longer!  When there's high-speed rail!

My opinion.    

Republicans will stand by Mr. Trump when if President, he rescinds the Zelensky Security Agreement.

After all, they in the House of Representatives almost didn't agree to what was promised the Ukrainians months ago!!

By signing a security agreement at this time and giving it a 10-year life, if it is not rescinded before that, is a sign of President Biden's dedication to the alliance among the nations of Europe. 

It's signs like this that make alliances from a binding strength--out of self-preservation to withstand ever-opportunists to rob them of interlacing power among nations in the world.

My opinion.

Chinese looking to solve its property surplus by turning them into affordable housing.

City governments will be encouraged to buy unsold properties for affordable housing, the Economist reports.  Not unlike how capitalist countries operate.  (Economist, May 26, 2024, p. 64)

It might even solve most of its surplus property in China.

Here in the states, the problem in the housing industry is that the interest rates are too high for your, first-time property owners to afford a house.  But it should change as inflation comes down.  Here's hoping!

My opinions.  

President Biden's doctrine: Alliances mean delegating responsibility to other countries within the alliance!

Secretary of State Blinken is doing an outstanding job in the Middle East and with our commitment to new arrivals on North American shores from the world over.  History is being made.

With President Biden at the helm, the United States is easing into its world role of being a leader, ever expanding its alliances and never leaving behind the poor nor forget the ones of us in distress--in the march of the world to even greater achievements of our peoples on Earth.

Wow.  And a nod of recognition to Ms. Tai!

My opinion.

   

I've been talking with the Biden people during the day, and I feel the country needs their new ideas!

These people are innovative in migration and in international politics, to mention but two important areas for action right now.

It would be a shame if the US lost out on their vision.

With Trump as President, I feel the country would be mired in combat with policies that reward those that don't have the interests of the United States primary in their planning for development into the future.   In short, Trump's people are planted to serve his own personal interests, i.e., to mold the world according to Trump.  I don't see how the United States would gain from that.

The voting public will decide.

My opinion.

Migrants not allowed in US, might try Guatemala, Costa Rica--Central America.

I spent some years working in Central America--successfully. I am led to believe Blinken's State Department is doing well in Central America, replacing Presidents as needed!  US investors might be interested in expanding into areas there.

I believe the mafia organization is too entrenched in Mexico to recommend migrants to that situation as a temporary or permanent place--even if in a boxcar as in Vegas for former military.   I hear they're very comfortable!

My opinion.

   

President of France, Mr. Macron, needs support and help amid a strong push by the rightists.

This man is being unjustly treated by the East Flank of parties in France.  He's being thrown out of African countries unfairly, I believe.  

Democratic countries should stand with him, because he's facing an avalanche of disasters in the political arena by a well-financed power-group, probably based in the Kremlin.

My opinion. 

I fully support President Biden's peace proposal for the Hamas-Israeli War. Hooray for his acumen!

I think it could be resolved whose military group should supplant the IDF in the Gaza Strip.

This is a well-conceived proposal, to my mind.  Let's go with it!

My opinion.

Voices of those cherishing freedom in threatening distress: President Biden turns to WWII alliance against Nazism as our exemplar.

President Biden in his speech on D-Day reminds us that by joining with the European democracies 'over there', we heard the cry of freedom-loving people in grave threat.  And in response, WWII  was won--our troops being cojoined with those who, like us, enjoy freedom and independence.

Note what they're whispering to us, who live today, amid the Ukrainian call for help to withstand another's tyrannical invasion. "Listen to the echoes of their voices on this D-Day."  These voices from the past "ask us to care for our country more than ourselves."  To take up the cudgel of democracy.

Because it is freedom that we want for ourselves and those in need of help else lose it, we will not forsake their plight.

But as President Biden reminds us, "Our enemies are looking for chinks in our armor." With God's help, we shall be free forever more! 

Yes, in alliance--for the sake of democracy and freedom--we shall prevail.   

Apparently, there's no single position as to what will bring about a cease-fire by either side--Hamas vs. Israeli!

We are witnessing, right over the mass media, a disagreement on each side as to what their own unified, position is.  There's no sense searching for a unified position of Hamas military when Hamas in Qatar has at least 1 position and the fighter arm in Gaza has another.  The same is true of the Israelis.  President Biden has rightly, I believe, that the Netanyahu group is for prolonging the war until every last Hamas is located and properly dealt with, according to their conception of the terms of ending the conflict.

Military Israeli analysts have noticed this war is without end!  Not even the Prime Minister would know when it is over!  He wouldn't have the certainty Israel had captured all Hamas warriors.

I tell you, until one position for each side to end in a cease-fire, at least one lasting temporarily, is a dream.

My opinion; and I've listened to both sides express more than one position for their side, depending on who's talking!  And as things stand now, each side can't agree on the terms that will lead to a cease-fire.   And so, apparently, the Prime Minister is waiting it out until both sides are exhausted of war; or until the war is expanded--I should hope not. 

Possible: bring all the groups fighting together at a table and let them not leave until they're hammered out a unified call for a cease-fire, adopted by the manifold disputants!

More on this after the Economist group discussion write-up.

     

They're raising my internet fees monthly significantly, I understand.

Please advise.  I don't know how to handle it!

I just learned it over the radio.

My health aide will be taking off a month to go back to Sierra Leone.  Perhaps, in December.

My schedule at National Cathedral looks promising!  (With a little help.)
