Convoy..

 

A convoy, named "Freedom Convoy USA 2022," is now encouraging truckers to join up with the "The People’s Convoy" and the "Texas Convoy" instead. All three convoys are modeled after the Canadian trucker convoys that have made international headlines. 

Cynthia Miller-Idriss, who runs the Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab at American University, said security officials have to be careful to “thread that needle” between playing down alarmist messaging and preparing for all possibilities.  

Security and law enforcement officials were caught flat-footed on Jan. 6, 2021, failing to take online plotting and threats seriously ahead of the violent mob storming the Capitol.  Just a "Loud Voice" thought.

War-2

 

"I hate War"

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Barack Obama may have agonized over every targeted killing and major military decision, but he also ramped up the drone war, sent additional troops to Afghanistan to no good purpose, helped turn Libya into a failed state, and tacitly backed the Saudi-led war in Yemen. 

And when he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (!), his acceptance speech focused as much on defending America’s role in the world—including its widespread use of military force—as it did on extolling the virtues of peace and the measures that must be taken to advance it.

Ironically, though Donald Trump loves military parades, flybys, and the other visible trappings of military power, he seems rather leery of war. 

Trump as president, he cared about economics, and the lives of poor people. America First. He does seem to recognize that starting some new war could hurt him politically, even as his more hawkish advisors keep pushing him in that direction. 

During his presidency, no war started, and no encouragement for war. He softens the North Koreans, and have Peace with the Arabic World and Israel. He believed in the virtues of peace as candidly as Roosevelt did in 1933.

Just a thought.

War..

 

I have seen war. 

I have seen war on land and sea. 

I have seen blood running from the wounded. 

I have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. 

I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed. 

I have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. 

I have seen children starving. 

I have seen the agony of mothers and wives. 

I hate war.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Former Trump Energy Secretary Rick Perry blasted the Biden administration who he says gave Russian President Vladimir Putin "leverage" by killing American energy efforts and "rubber-stamping" the Nord Stream 2 pipeline in Europe.

"#Putin got an assist from incompetent world leaders who propped up #Russia while risking their own energy security," the former Republican governor of Texas tweeted. "By killing the #KeystoneXL pipeline and rubber stamping NS2, the Administration increased Russia’s leverage over global energy markets, which got us here."

The United States can rescue Europe from a looming energy crisis by opening the Keystone XL pipeline and exporting US LNG to provide Europe with a reliable energy supply so they don't have to rely on #Russia," Perry tweeted.

Perry has been joined by several Republican politicians and conservative pundits across the country in calling out the Biden administration for clamping down on oil and gas energy production in the United States which they say has benefitted Russia.

Diversion..

Secretary of State Antony Blinken and US officials will deliver two classified briefings on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to members of the House and senators this afternoon, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The separate briefings are expected to cover the Biden administration’s next steps on sending military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, as well as the US intelligence community assessment of the situation, the source said.


The briefings - set to take place on Capitol Hill at 5:15pm for members of the House and at 7:15pm for senators - are also expected to drive the Biden administration’s request for Congress to provide $6.4bn in emergency funding to help Ukraine.

We created the problem, we pretend to help, we cause life devastation on both sides, we send funds and then divert the USA Citizen attention to a man created problem. 

 Just a thought.

Next..

 

Former President Donald Trump inched closer on Saturday to a 2024 comeback campaign, delivering a speech at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in which he hammered President Biden and congressional Democrats on everything from the conflict in Ukraine to their handling of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

In a sprawling tirade that stretched for over an hour, Trump repeated his false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him and railed against what he described as an inefficient federal government obsessed with political correctness and dominated by weak leadership that failed to deter the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

We are looking to end the Inflation, Oil prices that tripled and peace around the globe.  Just a thought.

Jen..

 

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said calls for the U.S. to boost its own fossil fuel production in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has increased oil prices further, were a "misdiagnosis."

Since Russia launched a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine last week, the U.S. has issued a wave of sanctions against Russia's banks and even Russian President Vladimir Putin himself.

But the U.S. has so far refrained from directly sanctioning Russian energy exports. The reason is Europe, which depends on Russian oil and has opposed doing anything that would turn off the spigot.

Republican lawmakers have called on the Biden administration to boost domestic energy production in order to lessen reliance on Russian energy. 

The prices of gas, heating oil is placing people back to poverty, and we are not at war with nobody. Doesn't that weigh heavily on the Conscious the president who caused it?  Just a thought.

Wall..

 

Fencing has been reinstalled around the U.S. Capitol ahead of possible protests that could collide with President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address this week. [Inflation-Oil Prices-Covid-19 Death of 600,000 and Listening to the scientist's saga]

The fence is the same barrier that remained around the Capitol for months after the Jan. 6 riot and during the “Justice for J6” rally, when supporters of people arrested in the attack rallied outside the building.

The Defense Department has approved requests to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops to help police with traffic control.  

Several roads around the Capitol will be closed to traffic from 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Capitol Police said in a separate statement Sunday, noting that they are the same road closures the agency has enforced in the past and saying they are "not related to the potential truck and vehicle convoys."

The people's house.  Just a thought.
