ISRAEL IS A TERRORIST STATE

ISRAEL TERRORIST WILL NOT BACK DOWN

By: Derek Varsalona

Israel is a terrorist nation, and everyone knows it. After signing a truce and a ceasefire that both Israel and America wanted, Israel resumed attacks.

This is not fair and is hurtful to the people of the region.  I have no other voice but to call Israel for what they are, a terrorist nation.  You would think that years after the Holocaust in World War II, Israel would not become the aggressor.  This is no longer about preserving national security.  This is about the Little Satan acting like a bully.

The way to deal with Israel is to treat it like the terrorist nation that they are.  America should remove all international funding from Israel.  Israel has long benefited wrongly from America, making it and treating it like the 51st state.  As always, comments are accepted.

PRESIDENT TRUMP ATTACKS POPE LEO

 PRESIDENT TRUMP ATTACKS POPE FRANCIS

By: Derek Varsalona

President Trump launched a fresh round of attacks on Pope Francis on Wednesday.  Going against the Separation of Church and State, the man, President Trump, might just be condemned to hell.

On Wednesday, President Trump launched fresh attacks on Pope Francis.  Talking about sinning against the church, although the Catholic church is not President Trump's church, nor is it mine. At the hands of Israel, at least 42,000 children have been slaughtered in their nuclear holocaust.  Why is it okay for America and Israel to have nuclear weapons?  As always, comments are accepted.

IRAN'S ECONOMY IS IN SHATTERS THANKS TO TRUMP

 Iran's economy is in shatters thanks to Trump

By: Derek Varsalona

With President Trump's blockade of the Straits of Hormuz, the Iranian economy is left in shatters.  I also agree with President Trump that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon.  But isolating Iran from the rest of the world is not the smart way to conduct business or conduct diplomacy.  If anything, this hurts international relations.  What else is going to hurt is that this is going to increase inflation, which is nothing more than a tax on the poor and the disabled.

What I am afraid is that Iran is going to use a chemical or biological bomb on American interests.  No one believes that Iran's nuclear energy is used for peaceful purposes.  We single-handedly isolated Iran and killed their economy.  A lot of people are going to be hurting.  With people starving, it is going to put a damper on the fact that they might want to overthrow the Mullahs.  

Iran needs to be dealt with.  But there is a better way to deal with Iran than opposing them and starving their people.  It is time to give negotiations a chance, and this time with open arms and open minds instead of closed minds and clenched fists.  As always, comments accepted.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT SUED OVER DISABILITY ACCESS

 EDUCATION DEPARTMENT SUED OVER DISABILITY

By: Derek Varsalona

The Department of Education is being sued over discrimination against two disabled women who said their loans were denied without proper review.  This is a case of outright discrimination.

The Education Department has no right to deny someone their application without proper review and going through the right channels.  People depend on loans to get through drastically expensive education.  The fact of the matter is that no administration has done anything to keep the cost of college down.  I know that it is tough to run a college.  With Athletics, Room and board, insurance, and other factors, running a college is a daunting task.

The fact of the matter is that the disabled are not given equal access to their education when their loans are denied without just cause.  As always, comments are accepted.

PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BLOCKADE STRAITS OF HORMUZ

BLOCKING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ

By: Derek Varsalona

Today, inflation will go up.  So will the gas prices around the world.  President Trump and the rest of the world are working to block the Straight of Hormuz.

The United States military will block the Straits of Hormuz today in a military operation.  I do not agree with this measure.  This measure is only going to amount to more blood shed and more violence.  It is going to impede trade and make life much more expensive as oil and other commodities are going to have trouble passing through.  President Trump should rethink this option.  As always, comments are accepted.

VIUCE PRESIDENT JD VANCE LOSES CREDIBILITY ON IRAN

 AMERICA LOSES CREDIBILITY WITH IRAN

By: Derek Varsalona

Vice President JD Vance concluded peace talks with Iran with nothing to show for all the effort that America put forth.  Vice President Vance claimed that America had put forth its best final offer but still came up short.  

The fact of the matter is, the American deal for success was a no-go from the very beginning.  If I were Iranian, I would not have taken the deal.  America got played in the process, and the people of America are in a less safe world since Vice President JD Vance has screwed up and has nothing to show for the time and effort that he has put into running for the peace deal.

What is going to happen next is anyone's guess.  But I do think the disabled are going to be in a far worse place with the Americans backing out of the peace process in Iran.   Let us face it from the get-go, Americans never wanted peace with Iran.  That is because America has never met a war it didn't like, even going as far back as the American Revolution.  Even in Vietnam, when Communism had no chance of coming to America until President Barack Obama arrived on stage, America has always been hell-bent on a great war.  A great war is good for the defense industry and for business.  A great war is good for the news industry as it gives people something to talk about while putting correspondents in harm's way.

I agree with Vice President JD Vance.  America did put its best effort forward.  But America's best days are far behind us, and we are in a worse and more unsafe place due to Vice President JD Vance's lack of a spine and inept leadership, not striking a deal.  As always, comments are accepted.

LET US GIVE PEACE A CHANCE IN THE MIDDLE EAST

 US AND IRAN PEACE TALKS

By: Derek Varsalona

Finally, someone is listening.  My call for peace talks is going somewhere as the United States, Iran, and Pakistan are engaged in talks as of this morning, or at least today.  This is a joyous day for peace talks in the Middle East.  Pakistan is a key mediator in the deal.  Lebanon wants to talk.  I say let as many sides talk as possible, the more the better.  Giving peace a chance is the way to go in this situation, and it is a far better situation than an all-out war.

Today is a day to be celebrated as peace talks between Iran, Pakistan, and the United States are within reach.  President Trump should be given a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts.  Bibi, on the other hand, the war monger who does not want peace can burn in hell.  As always, comments are accepted.

Giving Peace a chance.
