Jupitaer..

After several days of tense negotiations, an agreement was reached between Kennedy and Khrushchev: publicly, the Soviets would dismantle their offensive weapons in Cuba and return them to the Soviet Union, subject to United Nations verification, in exchange for a US public declaration and agreement to not invade Cuba again.

Secretly, the United States agreed with the Soviets that it would dismantle all of the Jupiter MRBMs which had been deployed to Turkey against the Soviet Union. 

There has been debate on whether or not Italy was included in the agreement as well. While the Soviets dismantled their missiles, some Soviet bombers remained in Cuba, and the United States kept the naval quarantine in place until November 20, 1962.

Do we have a similar situation today? May be Peace would be the answer before it is too late for the Ukraine. Just a thought.

Nurses..

 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the rate of injuries from violent attacks against medical professionals grew by 63% from 2011 to 2018, and hospital safety directors say that aggression against staff escalated as the COVID-19 pandemic intensified in 2020.

They are routinely yelled at, spat at, pummeled, kicked, scratched and even stabbed by the people they’re trying to save.

In many states, being a nurse is more dangerous than being a police officer or a prison guard. It’s a profession with a stunning amount of violence.

The best thing the Democratic party has to offer the American people.  Just a thought.

Goliath..

 

Neta C. Crawford, a political scientist at Oxford University, aims to fix that in her new book, The Pentagon, Climate Change, and War: Charting the Rise and Fall of US Military Emissions. 

Although the Pentagon has been at the forefront of climate change research since the mid-20th century, Crawford writes, the US Department of Defense is also the single largest institutional fossil fuel user in the world. 

Since 2001, the military has been responsible for 77 to 80 percent of federal energy consumption. 

The DOD maintains more than 560,000 buildings on about 500 bases around the world, making up a large portion of its emissions. And like a goliath multinational corporation, it relies on an extensive network of fossil-fueled equipment's  from dropping bombs to delivering humanitarian aid.

And although recent research has demonstrated that the US military is one of the largest polluters in history, it still tends to be overlooked in climate change studies.

Slouching..

 

This psychological picture has quickly gained popularity and only requires staring at an art piece that will either show the viewer a man's face or a slouching woman with her face turned away.

Depending on what you first see, this back-and-yellow art piece will show you are a very generous person or much more secretive with your friends.

Those that see the slouching woman when looking at the picture are people with the "highest morals." "Not only are you kind and forgiven, but you're also generous. You are admired for your positivity and do things will efficiency."

Teflon..

 

The initial evidence from public opinion surveys is that, indeed, this indictment is a source of more serious concern across the political spectrum. But it hasn’t shaken Republican solidarity with Trump and may have actually strengthened his position in the 2024 Republican primary — as his first indictment almost certainly did. 

The best evidence of Trump’s enduring intraparty “teflon” is a CBS News–YouGov survey with post-indictment data. It shows 75 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents either supporting or “considering support” for Trump. 

And among that solid majority of probable primary voters next year, only 4 percent said the indictment makes them less likely to vote for the former president, while an astonishing 40 percent said it makes their support more likely.

fully 76 percent of likely GOP-primary voters agreed that the indictments were “politically motivated.”  Perhaps even more striking, when asked if Trump should be able to serve as the 47th president if he is convicted in the classified-documents case, 80 percent of likely GOP-primary voters had no problem with that scenario. That’s loyalty... WIll the Democratic Party is trying.. Just a thought.

Millions..

 

Considering that millions of people lost their lives in the wars before and after Carter's presidency.

 The Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Iraq War and the War in Afghanistan – the fact that the Carter administration did not wage war on any country makes it unique in American history.   Just a thought.
