Gulf..

Bahrain has confirmed that an Israeli naval officer will be stationed in the Gulf state,

 the first time an Israeli military officer is being posted to an Arab country.

In a statement on Saturday, the Bahraini Foreign Ministry said the appointment of the Israeli officer is related to an international coalition “to secure the freedom of navigation in the region

Gulf countries, including Bahrain, often accuse Iran of threatening the security of maritime navigation in the region. Tehran denies the accusations.

However, local and Israeli media said the officer will be stationed in Manama permanently in the coming weeks citing an agreement reached during Israeli Defence Minister Benny Gantz’s visit to the kingdom earlier this month.

Bahrain is among the four Arab countries along with the United Arab Emirates, Sudan, and Morocco that signed US-sponsored agreements to normalise their relations with Israel in 2020. The Peace treaty was accomplished with the Trump admin at the time.

Blame..

 

Agree.

 

Odd..

 

Two governors lost their leadership as Governor of the State of New York to sexual problems. Now we have a woman as a governor, can she make a difference in the life of the people of New York?

Can she improve the quality of life of the people in NY City?

Or just go with the going rate of Mandate more, tax more and waste more?   Just a thought.

Struck..

 

A New York judge struck down the state's mask mandate on Monday, one week before it was due to expire, ruling the governor overstepped her authority in imposing a rule that needed to have been passed by the state legislature.
Judge Thomas Rademaker of New York State Supreme Court on Long Island found that the state legislature last year curbed any governor's ability to issue decrees, such as a mask mandate, amid a declared state of emergency.

In Florida,
A judge ruled that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis overstepped his authority when he issued an executive order to ban mask mandates in the state, the Associated Press reported on Friday.

Schools may impose mask mandates, Leon County Circuit Judge John Cooper said, and agreed with parents who filed the lawsuit saying the mask ban was unconstitutional.

What's up with that. Democrat Governors want to Mandate whatever, and the Republican Governors don't want the Mandates.
Democrats want to tax the hill out of the people while the Republicans want to let you decide on your own spending.
Just a thought.

Wide Open..

 

Stretched..

 

I still think that most of these Covid-19 mandates were unnecessary particularly that the politicians ignored the herd immunity science and millions of Americans who were infected and recovered from the disease. 

Forcing employees to be boosted when many researchers said that the vaccine is not working with the Omicron and a new vaccine, specifically for this variant, coming soon, is just beyond any scope.

Adding to that is firing people who do not follow the booster mandate is beyond being human. These folks served the public and survived even before there were vaccines.

The science now is being bought and sold, stretch just enough to fit each crazy opinion. Half of the story here, less than half over there etc. 

Thanks to the Democratic party affiliates, no one is investigating the Nursing home debacle in New York State where thousands died unnecessary. Can we call it the Inserection of the Nursing homes so the party can spend day in and day out investigating? Something fun to do and may help in the next election.

All of a sudden, the Democratic states, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut etc, are changing their stand on mandates eying the coming election. 

Just a "Listening to the Science" thought.

Crude..

 

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic hammered the oil industry in 2020, forcing U.S. oil prices to go negative for the first time on record. In a matter of hours on April 20, the May 2020 contract futures price for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) plummeted from $18 a barrel to around -$37 a barrel.

Now since Biden came to office, the whhole worldare strugling with the highest prices of the oil close to $90 a barrel.

Yet the new make up conflict with Russia and obvious our disagreement with the EU, watch the suffering to continue and expand the end of these 4 years term as prices of oil will soar.. Just a "Crude" thought.  

Oil .

 

Oil prices could soar to $120 a barrel if Russia's crude exports are derailed by tensions with Ukraine, according to projections from JPMorgan.

The forecast underscores how a potential invasion of Ukraine would cause wide-ranging ripple effects that would be felt by inflation-weary consumers around the world.

"Any disruptions to oil flows from Russia in a context of low spare capacity in other regions could easily send oil prices to $120," Natasha Kaneva, JPMorgan's head of global commodities strategy, wrote in the report published late Tuesday.

JPMorgan warned that if Russian oil exports are cut in half, [that what Pres. Biden wants to do] Brent oil prices would likely race to $150 a barrel. The all-time high for oil prices was set in July 2008, when Brent spiked to a record at $147.50 a barrel.

Just a "Major problematic" thought.

Warning..

 

President Joe Biden issued a warning Thursday to any Americans who remain in Ukraine as Russia continues to threaten an invasion: Leave.

"American citizens should leave now," Biden said in an interview with NBC News anchor Lester Holt.

“It’s not like we’re dealing with a terrorist organization. We’re dealing with one of the largest armies in the world. It’s a very different situation, and things could go crazy quickly,” he said.

Holt asked Biden what scenario could prompt him to send troops to rescue Americans fleeing the country. Biden replied: “There’s not. That's a world war when Americans and Russia start shooting at one another.”

This President is not sure of what is he saying or just saying deliberate non- sense. The American forces are in Syria for so many years, illegally, and the Russian troops are invited, very close and coordinate not to start a war of Egos.

Failure at home.... start a war against what we call a dictator and with that justify a war?
