A democratic culture! An aspiring goal worthy of a United States President, influenced by her mentor, President Joe Biden.
Truly, a haunting message carried by an inspired Presidential hopeful, Kamala Harris--delivered in this Holiday, Halloween season of October, 2024--yesterday.
My feeling of awe for this marvelous person representing our freedom-loving Country!
My opinion.
Yesterday, I met with the doctor who will do the procedure. Of course, I'll need my health aide much more of the day.
Things going well.
An RFP for making commercially useful method
ASAP
She's a gem! And I've tried several. I learn from her. It would possibly mean I'm by myself.
Please.
Hungary, of course, is close to Putin's communism but is in the EU.\
Or, can a member-nation belong to EU because of its location alone?
My wondering.
In addition to Turkey as lead country, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan are members of the clan. Most of these are landlocked in Central Asia and some are doing very well as independents. The organization they belong to is called the Organization of Turkic States (OTS). See p. 42ff, September 28, 2024 issue.
My impression of their current prosperity.
Will Iran come to their aid? Their leadership has been significantly diminished in Lebanon. Iran seems more worried whether Israeli forces will strike homebases than to worry about Hezbollah forces.
What is the benefit in being a proxy for Iran?
My thought.
This may be fortuitous! The Russians have to be tamed, in my opinion.
When I was in Russia, I planned for this move. They've still got NATO to deal with.
Georgia has accepted a contingent--so as to learn, too--from the Georgians.
She's a natural for "the whole person" attention to the patient (i.e., the older person).
If not her, someone from Sierra Leone who knows about attending to body and mind needs. Human touch, etc.; awakening the body.
Otherwise, I'll just go with what I learned from my health aide, Khad., after elections. I may have to do research!
My health aide, Khad, is supposed to call in Wednesday morning, not tomorrow morning!
My opinion.
It's not just Florida that's inundated with flooding and tornadoes! Look at the entire Midwest of the US!
The rich have touted the candidacy of former President Trump, probably so as to force the issue of climate change to be handled internationally, as if the United Nations or a body called by it to cope with this serious question.
Look how the world has looked upon Russian aggression in Ukraine: NOT MY PROBLEM. So the United States is corralling what nations it can to support saving Ukraine.
When all that needs to be done is to redirect the oil companies to administering the necessary switch to green products.
The wealthy would likely force the Western Advanced nations to go military in order to maintain order, if they won't pay up--as has happened in Africa. Ultimately, world chaos, as former President Trump envisions. might ensue. Then, what say the wealthy?
But another four years of candidate Trump for the Whitehouse is no solution to climate change.
My opinion.
P.S. Of course, there is another solution: Go nuclear through the process of nuclear fusion. I understand that it is close to being made practical through scientific research. Maybe that technology could be hastened to be made commercially sound immediately by the major powers working together on it.
I think if they were to come into contact with NATO troops behind the fighting lines, it would boost Ukrainian morale. I keep remembering President Putin is thinking another 7 years of war--battles and bloodshed! The Ukrainian soldier needs that morale boost of fresh troops virtually there with him!
My suggestion, based on reading the reports coming in.
I've been working on this project since I've come back to Washington, DC and have made crucial progress-- thanks to the situation you have graciously put me in!
It's based on Abraham Maslow's psychology and contemporary exercise programs for the old. I can start writing it up--I believe it's that far along, but this interaction I get here at Shalom is terrific backdrop. So I can just put together another blog, possibly or something less crude. And yes, it should keep the old active, doing things they have come to like doing--like I'm training myself.
Of course, it would be great if I had back my genius health aide!
After the New Year I could devote time to it. Because the world is retaining old people like me (I'm 87!), the topic is timely; and I've devoted a lot of time here, in my Shalom House, etc. Would involve going to church again, too.
What do you think?
My thoughts.
No regrets. Need good protection, always.
My health aide hasn't returned and probably won't.
I talked to my former case manager and she promptly made it impossible to get her through VMT agency.
Briefly, I think they want me, a 87 year old male, to court, ultimately to rot in jail the remainder of my life!
I'm in your database--at one time. If you can help me.
Emphasis is cheap ammo and a crackerjack intelligence, both of importance in places where invasion would occur of Chinese troops Economist. Sept. 7, p. 33.
Taiwan's military preparedness budget has reached 2.6% of GDP as reported.
There are 3 such groups, each supported by China now, though there are other militias aligned with Thailand, reports the Economist, September 7 issue, p. 30.
Apparently. money is the draw of these several factions to the country of Myanmar.
My opinion.
Insurance adjustors' estimates may reflect a higher degree of damage caused by hurricanes to home roofs than insurance companies are wanting to pay out, according to a report aired on 60 minutes last Sunday.
The extent of damage, the insurance company agrees to pay to fix can be handled by a mere repair, certainly not requiring a new roof, the CBS report brings out.
Are we talking here of an effect of climate change requiring a mere repair? Good that CBS raises the issue!
My opinion.
What has happened in the Carolinas? Reports of eye-witnesses claim disaster beyond a hurricane level 3.
Winds, plenty of mud, and destruction of homes and factories and stores. Beyond human ken.
Yet, the ultimate cause appears to be left out of many descriptions. Is this not part of the phenomenon of climate change? Too many such hurricanes in recent years like it to be ignored!
My opinion.
One side is pitted against another. The settlers are caught in a quandary whether to move out.
It's really a hit upon those who worship and are religious.
Life goes on. Sad.
My opinion.
I've got a great place to live, get around, a marvelous health aide, church, above all great doctors, and meds, don't desert me now.
My alternative I prefer, is CCNV, possibly as assisted whatever-patient or living with her clan at my health aide's place.
My thoughts.
The US can do a lot to help marketing the notion of preserving the Holy Land that those that live there already know!
They've sacrificed so much to be there! Let's help them. It will be "easy" to remind them they are lucky.
My opinion.
