60-Day Ceasefire.. Content Warning.
At long last, a cease-fire brokered by Biden and Macron has come to fruition. Many Lebanese and Israeli civilians are heading home. In northern Israel and southern Lebanon, the people returning home will be going home to devastation. Their houses are destroyed and everything they have ever known will be gone. However, the fact that civilians can go home at least is a start.

Election Day 2024
There are so many things I should have said but didn’t. I am not the type of person who says too much or says things I regret without thinking. On the contrary, I am far too quiet. In my case, I need to speak up more. There are many times I hold my tongue. In fact, I did it today, election day 2024.

Lessons For The Left
As someone who follows Politics but stops short of the deep-dives of being a Political Commentator (Plus, you know, wanting to live on a habitable planet...) I've noticed some broad trends recently.

Vlad 'The Invader's' Nuke Threshold.
Joe Biden held off from sanctioning the use of Attacms missiles in case Russia hit back with nukes. Putin has always used veiled threats against the West about Russia's 6,000 nuclear missile capability. Now it seems the Americans in the closing days of Biden's presidency, Washington is calling Moscow's bluff. In other words, are Putin's threats just bluff and bluster or a real action he would take? Certainly, the West if Putin is serious is playing a dangerous game.

Pope Francis: Wants Investigation into Genocide in Gaza.. Content Warning.
Popes had more authority than what they do today. In medieval times, the Pope could call a crusade and it would happen. Catholic Christian nations would heed the call and journey to the Middle East and battle Islamic forces. They were called 'The Crusades' and still have repercussions in the Middle East and the Christian church.

A Woke
The current proponents of woke agendas show themselves to be parasites. They feed upon a host that should be reserved for the proper and the clearly-defined. Woke means that you are awake, aware. All of the people who champion the ideals of gender issues and sexual orientation and assignment issues without caring for such individuals truly; of wishing to defund law enforcement; the diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI) supporters rarely if ever give thought to merit and talent rather than chemical makeup; the thoughts about being for tribalism and collectivism are harsh and violent turns.

Starmer Learning From Kamala's Defeat.. Content Warning.
What can Labour learn from the defeat of their equivalent in the US, the Democrats? Kamala did for a while, give new life to the Democratic POTUS campaign. It knocked Trump's campaign off track. All of his campaigns had been about defeating the incumbent President Joe Biden. However, Trump regained his momentum, especially after his two assassination attempts. He came back stronger and his voters were not just the majority European-American population. Blacks, Native Americans, and Asians voted for him. Why would people who are not of European heritage lend their vote to a so-called racist?
