ON GUARD
(It’s a pity U.S. President Donald J. Trump didn’t call in the National Guard on January 6 to quell the riots on the Capitol. Talk about throwing fuel on the fire in Los Angeles. Has the United States become a nation under the control of an orange dictator, as he suggested while running for office. Shame on him.

TOO MUCH INFORMATION
Why on earth do European countries announce to the world media (especially Putin’s Russia) exactly the amount of aid money and the kind of military equipment they are sending to the Ukraine? Putin’s military should not know what is being supplied so they can’t adjust their military strategy. If European countries, the U.S. and even Canada want to show that they have not abandoned and still want to help Ukraine in its fight against Putin, the aid when given should be vague with no timelines.

(It is odd to telegraph the specifics when simply saying additional funding and military equipment is being provided)

NO PEACE WITH HAMAS
Let’s get something straight: The only humanitarian crisis in Gaza is Hamas itself. Plenty of food, medical and other aid gets delivered to Gaza. The problem is that Hamas steals it and sells it back to a captive and defenceless population at extortion prices. As all Marxists know, control food, be armed, and instill fear, and you have total power. Everyone knows this except for Democrats, the leftist U.S. media, and anti-Semitic/anti-Israel UN globalists. As long as Hamas remains — at all — there will never, ever be peace, let alone any chance for recovery or eventual prosperity. Iran’s Hamas proxy has to be eliminated. Completely gone and permanently so.
