SHOULD WE SPRING FORWARD FOR DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME?

 SHOULD WE SPRING FORWARD?

By: Derek Varsalona

America, it is time to spring forward.  Many people do not like the idea of Day daylight savings time.  Many people have to adjust their internal clocks to lose an hour of sleep.  Many people experience adverse health effects and some people are known to have heart attacks due to the time change.  But again this is not something the government should be legislating.  If you need more sleep then get more sleep.  Getting darker earlier is going to have an effect on your health.  So with that being said only you can know your internal body clock and what is good for you.  This is not a government issue.  Yes, you are going to have to spring forward with your clocks.  But many clocks on the cell phone at least spring forward for you already.

A majority of Americans will spring forward today.  Unfortunately, the government is going to be involved as we have to make a time change to function for work and appointments.  There have been reports of adverse health effects such as heart attacks, strokes, and other ailments due to the time change.  That shouldn’t be.  Only you know your body the best.  Do what is best for you and do not rely on the government to tell you what is best for you.  Yes, you are going to have to readjust your clocks both regularly and internally.  But do what is best for you and your health and do not rely on the government to tell you what is best for you.  The government always does what is in its best interest and not what is in the taxpayer's and others' best interest. 

The reason why delight savings time is mainly a farming issue.  So it has to do with our food source and is a farming issue.  Those are the people, the farmers and ranchers that are mostly affected by this.  I am not saying other people are not affected by this.  You will have to get an early start if you want to make it to work on time.  But this is a personal issue when you get up and start your day.  Yes, the government is going to make suggestions.  But remember those suggestions are only beneficial to serve the government's interest.  I do not think the government has the American people's best interests at heart.

Again, do what is best for you in this situation and please stay safe.  If you need to get an extra hour of sleep to function by all means do so.  But do not let the government tell you to get an extra hour of sleep since the government is only interested in serving themselves and not the general public.  As always comments accepted.

POTENTIAL TERRORIST ATTACK IN RUSSIA ON AMERICAN INTEREST

POTENTIAL TERRORIST ATTACK IN RUSSIA

By: Derek Varsalona

The Embassy of the United States of America in Moscow issued a terrorist watch threat in Moscow on American citizens and Jewish people.  The culprit of the terrorist attack is the Islamic State.  But I would not be surprised if the Russians are behind the terrorist threat since the world is standing with the Ukraine, something that Russia opposes.

Over the next 48 hours, Friday-Saturday, there is a possible terrorist attack in Russia according to the American Embassy in Moscow.  I would not be surprised if Dictator and Terrorist Vladimir Putin is behind the terrorist attack.  I would not be surprised if American interests or Ukrainian interests are attacked by Russian terrorists in Moscow in the coming days.

The United States Embassy issued an imminent threat to U.S. Citizens in Russia.  This is Russia planning a terrorist attack on American citizens and disguising it with Islamic extremists.  I would not be surprised if Dictator Vladimir Putin is planning the attacks. 

American citizens are advised to avoid large crowds.  That is a great warning by President Biden which I applaud for the warning.  But the American people are self-interested.  If they want to go in large crowds they are going to do it.  Some people want to be martyrs in life.  For some people that is their life calling.

The Islamic State is planning to attack temples in Russia.  That is sad and Israel should come to the defense.

Only if American lives are lost should America see retribution.  We should not preemptively strike Russia or the Islamic State.  I believe that Putin is behind these possible attacks to try and take over the Ukraine.  As always comments accepted.

BIDENS CLASS WARFARE

BIDENS CLASS WARFARE

By: Derek Varsalona

Going into an election year President Biden has started class warfare on the middle class and the rich in America.  It is harmful to America and will increase and prolong the recession that is the making of the Democratic Party.  President Biden does not want to end the recession.  With Bidenomics he wants to prolong it and prolong the class ware fare struggle to keep Americans dependent on the government in all of its stages.

President Biden wants to achieve a fairer tax system.  But what he really is proposing is socialism.  He wants to punish the rich for being successful and give them money in the form of a handout rewarding the poor for not wanting to work to make an honest day living.   We should have a fairer tax system.  But a fairer tax system does not mean that the rich are going to pay more in taxes.  That is economically unfair.  To get a fairer tax system the government must institute the flat tax.

A fairer tax system under Biden is not free market economics it is socialism 101. The fair tax system that President Biden is proposing is outright class warfare. It rewards the poor for not getting up off their lazy ass and trying to find a job.  It attacks the very people that work hard to make America run.  I do not think that this is an election strategy that would win.  But then again there are a lot of stupid people in America.  The fact of the matter is to make a fair tax system then everyone needs to put into the economy and everyone needs to take money out of the economy.  While we are talking about fair let me propose this.  People pay income taxes on their social security since that is income that you put in over the years and you let the government pay you back that is income.

President Biden is proposing a 15% income tax on wealthy corporations and corporations in general.  That is one way to kill free market economics.  With that President Biden is instituting socialism.  Eventually, with that tax system, all corporations are going to be subject to the federal government with socialism.  What President Biden is doing is killing the right to become a free corporation.  This is going to make more corporations not leave the United States but I suggest they are going to file to become a foreign corporation in the Cayman Islands or other better tax structures with breaks for corporations.

It is not that President Biden does not want to cut taxes.  He does.  But he wants to cut taxes for people who already obtain tax cuts by not paying any taxes at all.  He is proposing cutting taxes for people earning less than $400,000.00  That is not a tax cut that is highway robbery.  The fact is these people, the poor are going to get a tax cut by not paying any taxes at all.  That is not with the Democratic way of paying your fair share.  Under my plan of tax, everyone pays something in taxes including the poor and paying taxes on social security.  That means everyone has something to gain and everyone has something to lose in the process.

Businesses listen up you are getting screwed also by Bidenomics. President Biden wants corporations to pay a tax rate of 28%.  That will kill a business.  If you want to save your business the best bet is to invest and incorporate in the Cayman Islands and not incorporate in America. 

President Biden is also instituting a European-style Tax System. He wants a 21% tax rate on multinationals.  That is going to kill business and hurt America in the realm of foreign and international relations.  The best bet to save your business is to incorporate offshore, please look up the Cayman Islands. 

President Biden also wants to make the rich poor again.  He is proposing a 25% on the wealthy.  That is going to kill business in America and make people poor.  It is going to make people more dependent on the government.  If President Biden wants the rich to pay their fair share then the poor need to pay their fair share also by paying taxes on the social security incomes and welfare checks.   As always comments accepted.

WE ARE LOSING THE ARTIC

WE’RE LOSING THE ARTIC

By: Derek Varsalona

I’ll admit it. I hate the cold. I hate the snow and I hate the ice.  But this article is not about a need for hate.  It is an article about an international emergency.   We are currently losing the Arctic at an alarming rate.  According to the scientists at the University of Colorado-Boulder, the Arctic might lose all of its ice by this summer.  That is only a little over four months as the summer officially begins on June 20th and the first full day of summer is June 21 the Summer Solstice.  This is concerning since scientist now predict that the Arctic is going to be iceless a decade sooner than projected. By 2050, there will be no ice at all in the Arctic.  This could mean that the Arctic is going to be ice-free by this decade.

Scientist at Colorado University Boulder predict that the Arctic is going to be iceless by this summer.   As for me, I hate the cold.  So you would think that I would be happy.  Think again.  I am deeply concerned about Climate Change.  But I also believe the wording was rephrased from Global Warming since the community needed to win the argument with the message.  So they renamed it climate change to win back the issue on semantics.  Climate change is affecting all of us.  The Arctic is no exception.  My concern is for the animals that live there and the people.  Yes, people can adapt hopefully but the animals might not be able to and thus might become extinct. 

How big a concern is this?  It is very big.  It is projected that we might lose the Arctic 10 years earlier than projected.  It is also possible that the Arctic might be ice-free by this decade.  I never thought the Arctic would be ice-free at least not in my lifetime.   I fear for the animal's lives as they are not going to be able to adapt as easily as a human.  A human can jump on a plane and move.  An animal can’t without the human's help but that usually means they are brought to a zoo.

By 2050, the Arctic might be ice-free.  Sure humans can adapt but the animals can’t.  I fear for the animals in the Arctic and all of Humanity.  As always comments accepted.

BIDEN TO SOCILIZE THE CREDIT INDUSTRY

PRESIDENT BIDEN RIPPING OFF AMERICANS

By: Derek Varsalona

President Biden is ripping off Americans and trying to control the free market.  President Biden is now trying to tackle late fees further harming the free market.  

President Biden is trying to tackle late fees in the economy.  He is trying for government to control the credit card industry further harming the free market with socialism.  It is the people's responsibility to pay their fees on time or be charged interest with a late fee.  Look in college you need to hand in your term paper on time or you are going to get docked a grade if not you might even fail the class.  The same theory can be applied to paying your bills on time.  If you are late with your credit card payment the company has the right to charge you interest.  This is not free, it is your responsibility to pay your fees on time.  The consequence of not paying your bill on time is a late fee or possible suspension of your credit line. 

A corporation has the right to make money in a free market.  Listen, these people also have families and bills that they need to pay.  The fact of the matter is that if you pay the fee late then the people in the corporate office are paid late.  If they are paid late it is a vicious cycle: they are late on their rent, late on their mortgage, late on the food they need to buy, etc.  Listen the world is not kind.  Also, there is something called responsibility that President Biden still needs to get. The corporation has the right to profit or at least try to profit in free market economics.  What President Biden is pushing is he is pushing socializing the credit industry.

President Biden says he is trying to lower prices.  That is just a fact-out lie.  President Biden is raising prices and causing inflation because the government is spending money and sticking its nose into the free market.  It is the government spending under President Biden and government intrusion into the free market that is causing inflation. 

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is cutting the cost of late fees from $32 to $8.  The late fee is three so the credit company can make a profit.  I suggest that if the credit card companies have bad creditors applying for their product they deny the consumer's application.    As always comments accepted.

VIOLENCE DESCENDS ON HAITI

HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN HAITI

By: Derek Varsalona

People are starving,  people are poor and people are restless.  This week, Haiti has descended into chaos as gangs are trying to overthrow the government.  Ruthless gangs have taken over the island of Haiti.  There is now a war going on between warring criminal tribes that are trying to take over the island.  Unlike most government strongholds the criminals also have the guns and are ready to take on the army and overthrow the government.  The gangs are now taking over the island.  The gangs are posting torture videos and videos of warring criminal tribes.  What should America’s response be?  Absolutely nothing. 

In this situation, America should remain neutral in the situation.  Now, would be a great time to get Ambassador Eric William Stromayer, out of the country and out of harm's way.  It would also be a great idea for the entire embassy of the United States to evacuate.  If that does not happen with the restlessness going on in Haiti, I think there is going to be another Benghazi-style attack and assassination of the American Ambassador.  The fact of the matter is the United States has stuck its nose into other people's affairs for far too long.  That is what caused Pearl Harbor, America was taking over Japan’s spheres of influence.  That is what caused September 11, 2001, was that America has been siding with Israel for far too long.  Let the Haitians work this out themselves.  If the government is overthrown it is overthrown.  American lives do not have to be lost over the Haitian violence. 

Haiti has broken into a civil war over warring tribes.  I suspect that the government is going to fall by this Friday if not sooner.  Now, is not the time for America to stick its nose in the situation.  Yes, America can try and give humanitarian aid, but that aid: food, water, money, and medical supplies can always be stolen by both the government and the rebels.  The best approach is to practice neutrality in this situation.  For far too long America has been sticking its nose into other people's affairs.  America has paid the price for far too long, i.e. September 11, 2001, was the most recent example of what happens when America sticks its nose into other people's business.

If America is involved in this war by sending troops, police actions, or sending military supplies we are going to pay the price.  America paid the price on September 11, 2001.  We gave Osama Bin Laden arms to fight the Russians and then Osama Bin Laden attacked America by hijacking planes.  I am afraid that if we side with a party in Haiti, there is going to be a terrorist attack on American interests in Haiti or even a terrorist attack on New York City or Miami. Miami is the closest American city to Haiti and New York City has the largest Haitian immigrant population.

Gangs are now posting torture videos online of their violence.  If we do not want the embassy personnel attacked America's best bet is to stay out.  Or, I think the embassy personnel will be human targets for the Haitian rebels.

In my prediction, the Haitian government is going to fall by Friday if not sooner.  God Bless the people of Haiti who just want peace in their country in this troubling time.  As always comments accepted.
