PEACE IS NOT A MONEY MAKING SOLUTION

 THE WORLD DOES NOT WANT PEACE WITH US AND IRAN

By: Derek Varsalona

The world does not want peace but a perpetual war with Iran and the United States of America.  That is because war is good for business and peace is not.  It is hard to give peace a chance when so much is at stake.  What is most at stake is the money.  Let us face it, war sells just as much as sex sells.  Peace is not a great money-making strategy.  

The fact is that nobody wants peace; they want perpetual war.  That war starts with an honest distrust of each other.  Iran claims that their nuclear ambitions are only for peaceful purposes.  Nobody believes that for a second, not even the religious communities in the world.

Special Envoy Steven Whitkoff and Jared Kushner are going to travel to Pakistan for direct talks that are going to go nowhere fast.  These talks are not going to work out in anyone's interests since people have a great distrust for one another.  That is evident in the fact that there are no direct talks being made throughout the process.  

Without direct talks, there can not be a peace treaty.  Do not look for a peace treaty to be signed.  That is because war sells.  War is great for the economy, sad to say it, but it is true.  The media loves a good war story.  Just think of how many wartime journalists would be fired if peace were an option. It could be thousands, and to the world, sadly, that money is more important than the cost of lives. As always, comments accepted.

CEASEFIRE WITHIN REACH ON ISRAEL CONFLICT

 PRESIDENT TRUMP TO HOLD CEASEFIRE

By: Derek Varsalona

If the ceasefire holds between Iran and USA, and Israel, then President Trump should win the Nobel Peace Prize.  President Trump is the greatest President in the world, and it shows that you need a businessman to negotiate peace treaties with the rest of the world and not politicians who naturally screw things up for political gain.

President Trump will host Israel and Lebanon.  Iran will be excluded from peace talks.  Will if that is the case, then America and the rest of the world will never achieve peace in the Middle East.  However, if President Trump does achieve peace, he should get the Nobel Peace Prize.

For Peace to exist, Israel must give in to demands and stop acting like the stubborn stepchild.  It is ill-advised for Trump to talk with Israel, as Israel is the cause of the world's problems.

The ceasefire is set to expire on Sunday.  Look for Israel to fire the first shot.  We have a horrible policy when it comes to Israel.  Every time Israel attacks a school that terrorist hide out, we call that self-defense.  But if the Muslim nations attack Israel, that is terrorism.  That American mindset has to change for there to be respectful peace talks.   The ceasefire is set to expire on Sunday.  As always, comments are accepted.

THE WORLD DOES NOT WANT A PEACEFUL IRAN

 THE WORLD DOES NOT WANT A PEACEFUL IRAN

By: Derek Varslona

I said it once before and will say it again.  If President Trump does, in fact, harbor a peace deal, then he should definitely get a Nobel Peace Prize.  President Trump is doing all he can to bring peace to the Middle East.  It is mainly Israel and secondarily Iran that do not want peace.  

At the heart of the negotiations is the fact that Iran can not have nuclear weapons.  Iran claims they use their nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.  No one believes that, not even the Iranians. If all sides want peace, then they must be willing to negotiate.  But that will never happen due to differences.  First, Iran must not get nuclear weapons.  Iran claims that their nuclear energy is only used for peaceful purposes.  No one believes that for a second, not even the Iranians citizens. 

This peace deal is going nowhere fast.  Don't get me wrong, I want peace.  But I am very skeptical.  Iran wants their nukes.  That can not happen.  Israel wants peace.  That will not happen as long as they act like terrorist and blow up Palestine.  Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize.  That can happen, and I'd be surprised if he achieves peace in the Middle East since no other American President did so before.  As always, comments are accepted.

PRESIDENT TRUMP PEACE TALKS TO RESUME

 PRESIDENT TRUMP PEACE TALKS

By: Derek Varsalona

President Trump has a historic chance to create lasting peace in the Middle East.  But he must not be a pompous ass in the process of the peace negotiations.  President Trump must go into peace negotiations with respect for the other nations involved.  He must not go in there with tin or sand-filled ears, and he must keep an open mind and an open heart during negotiations.  Finally, he must not think that the peace deal is all about him.

If President Trump pulls off a peace deal, he should get a Nobel Peace Prize.  But he must be truly willing to make an agreement not just for America's sake but for all of humanity and everyone involved.

I predict that as soon as there is a peace deal, inflation will ease and gasoline prices will go down.  But first, there must be a peace deal.  In terms of the peace deal, Iran must promise not to create a nuclear bomb or weapons.  The United States must not force Iran to give up Nuclear Ambitions.  

A deal is where everyone benefits.  Iran has already rejected the peace deal. As always, comments accepted.

AMERICA IS NO LONGER A SAFE PLACE THANKS TO TRUMP

 AMERICA IS NOT SAFE UNDER TRUMP

By: Derek Varsalona

With a raging war in Iran and crime on the rise, along with inflation, which is easing, people do not feel safe in their own neighborhoods.  The Democrats have caused this unsafe feeling by making a war on cops and advocating for gun control laws that take guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens and puts it in the hands of criminals.

President Trump supports victims' rights of violent offenders.  But this is good, but the measure does not go far enough.  There are a few ways to have a safer neighborhood.  First of having two parents in the home has the best chance at success for the child.  I do think that without a male father figure for a boy, the boy might become a violent criminal, a drug user, or an alcoholic.

The cost of living is making the crime rate skyrocket in America.  The fact that it is so hard to survive nowadays, people have to resort to the black market and a life of crime to make a living, it pays better than legal work.

The murder rate has indeed fallen in this nation.  That is a good thing.  But murder is still very popular in the inner cities and the ghettos.  Doesn't tell people in Memphis that the murder rate has fallen nationwide.  As of right now, Memphis has the highest murder rate.  So, the claim is that gun control will solve that problem.  They are totally wrong.  You see, when you have gun control, you take the guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens and place it in the hands of violent criminals.  The best way to control your gun is with two hands, not government intervention.

Is America a safe place?

PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS INCREASED INFLATION

OIL PRICES RISE AS TENSIONS WITH IRAN ESCALATE

By: Derek Varsalona

Usually, when you think of Republicans, you think of a lower cost of living.  That is not the case anymore.  President Trump has increased inflation due to his unjust war with Iran.  Due to the American never-ending war efforts, oil prices climbed on Monday to $96 a barrel.  I would not be surprised if we reach $100 a barrel by the weekend.

President Trump is losing control over the war in Iran.  He has not thought this war out logically.  Needless to say, this war is illegal since he has not gone to Congress to declare war on Iran.  Many people are suffering due to the mismanagement of the war.

Oil prices climbed on Monday to $96 a barrel.  Iran claimed it will retaliate with attacks on American interests.  The ceasefire is set to expire, as both nations, Iran and the USA, never wanted to work towards diplomatic relations.  I still think we should give peace a chance and open an embassy in Tehran and invite Iran to the table in Washington, DC, with its own embassy. As always, comments are accepted.

PRESIDENT TRUMP LET'S PEOPLE TRY ILLEGAL DRUGS LEGALLY

 TRUMP UNLEASHES RIGHT TO TRY PSYCHEDELICS

By: Derek Varsalona

Praise be to God and President Trump.  Early Sunday morning, President Trump saw the light of God and legalized research and the right to try all psychedelic drugs in America.  This is a great breakthrough for people with mental health challenges and illnesses.  It gives people the right to try certain medications to cure or at least help their mental illness.  But as we know, the drug industry is not in the business of curing patients but prolonging their problems with medication.  You see, my friends, if a disease is cured, then there is no need for the job and no need for the funding.  But instead of the people treating the disease, more funding is needed.

President Trump signed landmark legislation early Saturday Morning.  He is letting people give the right to try new medications based on their physical and psychological conditions.  I applaud President Trump for doing this.  But we do not go far enough.  What needs to happen next is to close down all costly and ineffective mental asylums and give people the right treatment with their families and caregivers along the way.  We also need to help patients advocate for themselves since they know exactly what is going on with their bodies.

Thank you, President Trump, for signing this Executive Order.  As for me, yes, I am on medication for more of a condition due to having multiple disabilities.  As always, comments are accepted.
