Deal..

 

Comment:
Deal is better than no deal. Whatever it is, the prices will increase. Just a thought.

Children..



Federal data and congressional reports highlight widespread concerns regarding unaccompanied migrant children and missing tracking numbers during the Biden administration. 

 Over 468,000 to 475,000 unaccompanied migrant children entered or were cared for by the U.S. government between fiscal years 2021 and 2025.  

 Congressional testimony and federal audits indicated that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and related agencies lost direct contact or couldn't account for over 300,000 to 320,000 of these unaccompanied minors, with critics and congressional reports asserting that some were vulnerable to or forced into labor and sex trafficking. 

 In 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and HHS reported reviewing tens of thousands of backlogged case files from the prior administration, resulting in thousands of investigative leads involving potential fraud, labor exploitation, and human trafficking. 

 Organizations like the National Human Trafficking Hotline have tracked thousands of unique human trafficking incidents annually nationwide, though experts note that the total number of hidden or undocumented victims is difficult to quantify precisely.   Just a thought.

Starshield..

 


Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused U.S. President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk of intentionally "throttling" military satellite usage in Ukraine, escalating a severe diplomatic and military rift. Zelensky stated in an interview that he felt personally "betrayed" by the actions.

The dispute centers on a sudden loss of access to Starshield, the military-grade version of SpaceX's satellite communications network.  
 Ukrainian military forces reported sudden speed limits and connectivity drops on Tuesday and Wednesday. Access was restricted specifically for objects traveling over 100 mph, crippling the capabilities of Ukraine's drone fleets, airplanes, and helicopters.  

 The disruption directly coincided with intense pressure from the Trump administration urging Kyiv to halt its long-range drone strikes on Russian oil refineries. Trump has blamed these strikes for driving up U.S. fuel prices ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. 

Zelensky's Stance:    He argued it was unfair to expect Ukraine to adhere to an "energy ceasefire" while Russia systematically targets its civil power infrastructure. 

Comment:
When the Ukraine targeted Oil refineries, etc. It moved the local war to the rest of the world. The world poor countries and advanced xcountries will pay dearly for oil.
Just a thought.

Fraud..

 


Italy’s government, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, enforces a strict anti-irregular immigration policy that includes tightening border security, increasing repatriations, and outsourcing migrant processing. 
Deportation Decrees: Hardened measures allow authorities to detain individuals in pre-deportation centers for up to 18 months, penalize fraudulent claims (such as lying about age), and enforce swift returns for individuals whose asylum applications are rejected. 
Labor Visas vs. Crackdown: While maintaining a strict policy against illegal entry, the Meloni administration has simultaneously introduced large-scale legal work visa quotas (issuing hundreds of thousands of non-EU work permits) to address domestic workforce and demographic shortages. 

Comment:
Work Permit... what a genius idea used in many countries. Just a thought.

Asylum Seeker

 


New Year’s Eve 2015–2016 Events (Cologne and Other Cities) On December 31, 2015, large crowds of men—primarily of North African, Middle Eastern, and Arab origin, including newly arrived asylum seekers and migrants—committed widespread robberies and sexual assaults against women near the central railway station in Cologne and other German cities. 

Police registered over 500 criminal complaints in Cologne alone, roughly 40% of which involved sexual offenses.  

Freiburg Case (2018): In Freiburg, Germany, ten men—mostly Syrian refugees alongside individuals from Iraq, Afghanistan, and Germany—were convicted for the gang rape of an 18-year-old woman outside a nightclub after her drink was spiked. The lead defendant received a five-and-a-half-year prison sentence, and seven others received sentences up to four years. 

Legislative and Political Impact: The incidents triggered intense national debate regarding Germany's open-door refugee policy and led the German Parliament to pass stricter sexual assault legislation, which also tightened rules for the deportation of foreign nationals convicted of sex crimes.  

Berlin-Migrant..


Germany is actively pursuing policies to encourage or mandate the return of Syrian nationals, following political changes in Syria and a shift toward stricter migration controls.

Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that Berlin hopes around 80% of the nearly 1 million Syrians currently living in Germany will return to Syria over a three-year period, working alongside Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. 

The initial focus of removals and non-renewals targets individuals without valid residence rights, particularly those with criminal records.   

Following the collapse of the Assad regime, Germany moved to resume targeted deportations—particularly for criminal offenders—while officials in Damascus have cautioned that the country's 
fragile infrastructure needs more time to absorb large numbers of returnees.

Sanction..

 

President Joe Biden stated on March 24, 2022

Speaking at a press conference in Brussels following meetings with NATO and G7 leaders, Biden addressed the economic fallout of the war and sanctions.

The Quote: Biden remarked, "With regard to food shortage, yes, we did talk about food shortages. And — and it's going to be real. 

The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia, it's imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well."  

Comment: What did the poor countries do?????

Doing..?

 

Ukraine receives free or donated military weapons and equipment from an international coalition of over 50 countries, the European Union, and NATO allies, rather than from a single source.

On the other hand 

Ukrainian long-range drone strikes on Russian oil refineries and energy infrastructure have contributed to lower Russian fuel output and higher global energy prices. So to Russia it is even but it badly impacted economies in Europe, the United States, and worldwide. 
So what to do, what to dooooooo?  Just a thought.

High-Low..

 

 Inflation during the presidency of Joe Biden  started at approximately 1.4% to 1.7% in January 2021, then accelerated due to energy price spikes following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. It peaked at 9.1% year-over-year in June 2022 (a 40-year high). 

During President Trump current term, The annual inflation rate in the United States rose to 3.7% in September 2026, up from 3.4% in August, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.  Just  thought.
