BIDEN WILL NOT PROTECT OUR DATA

BIDENS GOVERNMENT WILL NOT PROTECT OUR DATA

By: Derek Varsalona



President Biden now wants to be in the business of protecting America’s data.  Well, I live in what is known as Data Center Alley, in Gainesville, Virgina, the Data Center Capital of the World.  Many people are against the data centers.  But I feel safer with a private data center controlling America’s information then I do having the federal, state or local government controlling my information.  I am worried that the government is going to use the information too spy on people that they do not like especially bloggers, podcasters and other independent journalist.  The fact of the matter is that the Data Center is controlling so much information on us.  It would be scary if the data centers are forced to hand over those certain documents or electronic information over to the federal government. 

On February 28,  President Biden issued an executive order to control America’s Data.  He claims he is doing this to protect Americans from the exploitation of foreign governments.  But having America’s data in the hands of President Biden and other federal officials does not make me feel any safer.  Will the NSA start spying on other people that they do not like?  Under the unAmerican Patriot Act, which I can’t believe is still in play is spying on Americans in the name of national security.  What happens when a data center is allowed to collect our information and store our information?  My concern is that these data centers are going to collect the information and be forced to hand it over to President Biden and the federal government.

My biggest concern with the government controlling our data is that the government will exploit the data.  I am afraid that the government is going to use the data to track our information.  Silly me, why should I be concerned?  The government is already tracking us on our iPhones,  IPADS, computers and any other device that we are using.  Sure you can run from the intrusive government but you can’t hide for the Biden regime.  If you think it is going to get any better under former President Trump or a Republican government you are surely mistaken.

My biggest fear is that the data centers are a way for  the government to collect information and spy on Americans.  This is a form of weaponizing the government against its own citizens.  

President Biden wants to track and keep tabs on Americans to collect information on people.  President Biden says the executive order is to protect people from foreign governments.  That might by true but the executive order allows him to spy on Americans by weaponizing the Data Centers.  As always comments accepted.

LET'S END HUNGER THROUGH LOCAL CHARITY

ENDING HUNGER THE RIGHT WAY

By: Derek Varsalona



With inflation causing headaches for Americans, food insecurity is a major problem in America.  President Biden wants to solve the food insecurity with the help of the federal government.  But the food insecurity is better done by local charities and food banks then is done by the federal government.  Another great way to solve food insecurity is to offer large grocery corporations tax breaks to bring their unsold fresh food to food banks before the expiration date. 

President Biden is announcing 141 new ways to end food insecurity.  I applaud the effort but food insecurity is better left at the local level.  Each city has their own needs to solving the food shortage.  Therefore each cities and localities needs are different.  What might be a food crisis in San Francisco might not be a food crisis in New York City.   A lot of the food insecurity needs to be addressed by the climate and localities ability to grow produce.  Yes, climate change is going to have a cause and effect relationship with that.

The 141 new measures is bold and a great start.  But much of food insecurity can be done at the local level.  The better approach is for the federal government to give out competitive loans that the charities and food banks can apply and compete for. 

President Biden has an ambitious goal of ending hunger by 2030.  That is a great goal and might be his legacy.  But the question I have is President Biden even going to be alive by 2030?  The way to end hunger is to give each locality local control over the means and production of their food sourcing.  Another way is to give grocery stores tax breaks for donations of food to local food banks and charities before the expiration dates.  The best way for the city to control the hunger crisis is to give each locality community grants to end hunger. 

The Harlem Globe Trotters are filling the void of the food shortage.  They are beginning a two year partnership with Kaboom! an organization that focuses on healthy eating and dieting.  I should look into this organization for personal dietary development.  But this is a great way for local control that I am describing.  The more local control of the food supply, the less likely their is going to be a food shortage in that area.  The localities are better prepared to fight the food shortage than the federal government since each localities food crisis is different.


I applaud  President Biden in trying to end food insecurity and hunger.  But the best approach to is end it with help of corporate grocery stores donations of food to local food banks in their own communities.  As always comments accepted.

THE WHOLE PALESTINE AUTHORITY RESIGNS

PALESTINE AUTHORITY RESIGNS

By: Derek Varsalona


The governing body of Palestine and the Palestine Authority has resigned on Monday.  I believe that this is a good thing for the area of Palestine.  My hope is that Palestine could acquire a more moderate-leaning governing body that would want to seek peace with Israel.  The only problem is that you could get more extreme groups like Hamas running the show without proper protocol in place.

Palestine Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh has resigned as of Monday morning.  I am hoping that Palestine will become a more tolerant nation.  I hope that they will choose a leader who will not harbor terrorists in their nation and not want Israel whipped off the map.

Both the United States and its allies want Palestine to play a role in the peace talks over settlements.  That is the right approach by President Biden.  To have true peace negotiations we should not ice out the Palestinians who have the right to the land that is being occupied by Israel.

The fact is that both Palestinians and Israelis are fighting for their very lives.  I might be wishy-washy but President Biden should play a role in the peace talks between Palestine and Israel but not in the arming and the fighting.  My hope is with a new Prime Minister we can finally give peace a chance.  America should try the libertarian principle of a nonaggression policy in this matter.  As always comments accepted.

SANCTIONS WILL NOT STOP PUTIN

SANCTIONS WILL NOT STOP PUTIN

By: Derek Varsalona



On Friday, President Biden laid out sanctions on Russian Dictator Vladimir Putin.  Although I do allude the effort to stop Dictator Putin who is a mad man the sanctions will not stop Putin reign of terror.  Putin is a bully.  What America is doing now is playing with the bully.  The thing that needs to happen is you need to punch a bully square in the mouth in order for them to learn their lesson.  Putin sanctions on Putin only lets Putin’s reign of terror to accumulate. 

Two years ago, Dictator Putin invaded the Ukraine.  America has appeased Putin and has learned nothing from the past.  But America has a history of appeasing dictators.  America appeased Hitler when they knew the Holocaust was happening America stood idle and did absolutely nothing.  It was not until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 that America went to war.

The Russian and Ukraine war is not ours to get involved in.  Putting sanctions on 

Putin is an act of hostility.  It is not going to get Putin to back down.  The one thing that Putin fears is America aggression.  I do not want to go into the Ukraine and Russia war.  But America is already involved.  The thing I have against sanctions is that it does not stop  a dictator like Putin.  Putin does not care that the people in Russia are going to be hurt with lack of food, resources and medicine coming into the country.

Instead of sanctions, let us remove our Embassy in Moscow.  Let us end diplomatic relations with the global terrorist Vladimir Putin.  As always comments accepted.

MAJOR CELL PHONE OUTAGE ACROSS AMERICA

CELLULAR OUTAGE ACROSS AMERICA

By: Derek Varsalona



A nationwide cellular outage occurred on Thursday, February 22, 2024, across the United States.  I do not have any evidence but I suspect Putin and the Russian hackers are behind this.  My suspicion for this is the fact that America is supporting the Ukraine.  I predicted months ago that a terrorist attack was going to happen by Russia and I suspect this is the attack that was coming.  I have no evidence for this.

AT&T, Mobile, and Verizon have had power outages on their cell phones due to a cyber attack nationwide in the United States.  This is probably going to affect your internet connection also as of Thursday morning, a cellar outage of 31,931 people occurred at 4:31am EST.  I was not up at that time so I do not know.  But my cell phone and internet work today at least as of now.  I hope my reader's cell and computer work and I am not just saying that to get people to read my blog.  If the cell phone goes out due to hacking not only can you not call 911, but what about people with medical conditions on ventilators and other electronic devices can those also get out? I suspect they too can be hacked into. 

I suspect this was the work of Russian Dictator Vladimir Putin.  I say this for two reasons one for the US condemnation of the killing of Russian journalist Alexey Navalny and for America’s support for Ukraine.  As always comments accepted.

BIDEN SOCIALIZES THE STUDENT LOANS

SOCIALIZING THE STUDENT LOAN INDUSTRY

By: Derek Varsalona



President Biden has socialized the student loan industry.  The government claims that they are giving out the student loans so they can cancel them if they want to.  But what about the student loans that are given out by the private banks?  Are those loans also allowed to be cancelled?  Also, if we forgive the student loan process are we going to forgive a business loan, a home loan, etc.  Where does the madness end?

President Biden did something borderline illegal by forgiving student loans.  The Supreme Court said that President Biden cannot forgive the student loans in the way that he is doing it.  Yet, President Biden is again going to his old ways and socializing the student loans in the same old fashion that he originally did which was deemed illegal by the Supreme Court.

On February 21, 2024, President Biden cancelled $1.2 billion in student loan debt for $153,000 borrowers.  I didn’t know that President Biden can just wave a magic wand and cancel student loan debt.  But when you socialize the student loan industry I suspect that anything is possible. 

What President Biden is actually doing is he is socialized the student loan industry.  President Biden made the argument to the Supreme Court that the government gives out the student loan so they can cancel them.  The Supreme Court said that was illegal and need to find another way.  But President Biden did not find another way.  He still went back to the same illegal way that he has been doing in the past.  I guess, President Biden is part of the crime syndicate the Biden crime family. President Biden has cancelled $138 billion dollars in student loan debt.  What President Biden is doing is he is turning the federal government into a criminal syndicate by doing so.

President Biden is pushing socialism by canceling student loans six months ahead of schedule.  What President Biden is doing is he is socializing the student loan industry and pushing socialism.  He is also buying votes.

President Biden has cancelled more student loans then any other President in US history.  That is not leading a country.  What that is is teaching college and graduate students that they can be irresponsible and still get ahead in life.  It does not teach them anything about responsibility in the long run.

Sure the government can make the argument that they provided the student loan so they can cancel them.  But the government gives away education for free instead of collecting the money and making money on the interest on the student loan.  

President Biden does not lead any room for borrowers to become responsible.  He just cancels it outright.  He is doing it in the same old fashion that the Supreme Court deemed was illegal.  There fore President Biden should be arrested and pay a fine for not following the law. 

President Biden started the save plan.  What President Biden is doing is telling students that it is okay to cheat the system.  The Supreme Court claimed the President Biden needs to find another way to forgive student loans.  President Biden still goes by the same old ways.  There fore he should be arrested for treason. As always comments accepted.

A MASS SHOOTING OCCURRED AT INDIANAPOLIS WAFFLE HOUSE

MASS SHOOTING IN INDIANAPOLIS

By: Derek Varsalona



Another day, another mass shooting.  This time it is in Indianapolis.  What started out as a argument erupted into gun fire leaving one dead and five others injured.  The question is will the carnage ever  stop?  The shooting occurred at 12:30am inside a Waffle House in Indianapolis.

The carnage will stop.  But ti will only stop if more civilized people become armed.  Some say that more guns leads to more murders.  I actually disagree.  More guns in the right hands leads to a more protective society.  I always said that a well armed society by the citizenry and not the government leads to a safer society.  When the government has all the guns you have tyranny and violence.  When the people have more guns then  the cops you have freedom of the second amendment and more freedom.

Six people were shot and one person was killed in the gun fight at the Waffle House.  You know what caused that?  People not being armed and taking their second amendment right to keep and bear arms.  Let us face it, most shootings do not happen where there is an armed property.  The intruder knows they will not last in the gun fight unless their mission is suicide.  The fact of the matter is a well armed establishment prevents more gun deaths from occurring not less.

But let us look at my title of this article, Mass shooting in Indianapolis.  How many people have to die for the media to declare it a mass shooting? Two people, Three people, how about six people?  You see the media loves sensationalism.  They thrive on it.  The media also loves to govern.  Watch for the media to try and impose more gun control in Indianapolis.  

I feel sorry that people had to die.  But if more people had guns in that restaurant this shooting would not have happened.  Remember kiddos a well armed society is a safer society, don’t you forget that.  As always comments accepted.
