CLIMATE CHANGE TORNADO KILLS IOWA

CLIMATE CHANGE KILLS IOWA

By: Derek Varsalona

Climate change has caused yet another victim. This time in the wake of destruction is Iowa.   A tornado ripped through Iowa on Tuesday killing multiple people.

You see people climate change is literally killing us at this very moment.  It is not a hoax and is very real.  We are seeing the storms get more serious.  I would not be surprised if a tornado hit my home state of Virginia or my former home in Long Island.

But there is very little that we can do at this point.  People do not want to change their lifestyle and we dug our graves.  Now, we have to lie in it.  The fact of the matter is that climate change is literally killing us. It caused destruction in Iowa now, probably in the path of Tornado Alley.

We could have done our part to protect the world against climate change.  But people acted irresponsibly. Now,  we are digging our graves in Iowa and the rest of America.  As always comments accepted.

CLIMATE CHANGE TORNADO KILLS IOWA

CLIMATE CHANGE CAUSES  DESTRUCTION IN IOWA

By: Derek Varsalona

Climate change has caused another victim. This time it is Iowa.  Multiple Tornadoes struck Iowa yesterday.

Theses storms are getting more and more violent in the spring as the whether heats up.  What is causing these storms is no mystery to most.  The cause of these storms are climate change.  I do believe that climate change is partially human caused although the humans are not the main cause of climate change.  The fact of the matter is that the earth is getting warmer.  The other thing is that nobody seems to give a damn.

Climate change is upon us.  It is killing us as a we speak.  But people are not going to do anything about it.  I personally believe their is very little we can do at this point on climate change.  The fact is that people dug their graves and now they need to lie in it.

Changing politicians at this point is not going to do any difference.  Whether you are for or against climate change does not matter at this point.  It seems like the nay sayers on climate change won the debate and Carpe Diemed, seized the day on the issue of climate change.   The climate change activist acted too late do have any major effect on climate change.  As always comments accepted.

IRANIAN PRESIDENT EBRAHIM RAISI DEAD IN PLANE CRASH

IRAN PRESIDENT EBRAHIM RAISI DIES IN PLANE CRASH

By: Derek Varsalona

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisis died in a plane crash on Monday.  He died in the mountains and the plane was located on Monday.

Israel denies allegations that they had anything to do with it.  But I do believe that they have something to do with it and are lying.  Look Iran is funding the war in Gaza against Israel.  Israel is acting like a terrorist nation attacking civilians.  So of course Israel will want the Iranian President out of the picture.  I believe this was an Israeli assassination.

I do believe that there is going to be retribution on Iran's part for the taking out of their leader.  Israel has denied responsibility.  Yet there is no condolences on the part of Benjamin Netanyahu on the death.  That leads me to be very suspicious of Israel’s intentions and leads me to believe that they had something to do with the assassination.

This was not a freak accident.  This brings me back to the TWA flight 800 that people said was taken out by a Claire our missile that went in the sky over Long Island. Yes, it might be a conspiracy theory on both Iran and TWA but conspiracies are fun to play around with.  I do believe that Israel is responsible for the assassination of President Abraham Raisis.

PRESIDENT BIDEN STRIKES RIGHT TONE AT MOREHOUSE

PRESIDENT BIDEN STRIKES THE RIGHT TONE AT MOREHOUSE

By: Derek Varsalona

At first, I was a little taken aback that President Biden would be giving a graduation commencement speech at Morehouse College a historically black college.  I find it odd that he did not send the first female and black Vice President Kamala Harris to give the speech.  But President Biden gave an excellent speech that hit a cord with the graduating class.

President Biden told the audience that they made a lot of sacrifices to get our kids through college.  So did President Biden.  But President Biden did not address the unaffordability of the colleges on every President's watch not just President Biden.  I would have liked him to address how college is unaffordable.  Nor, did he mention the fact that Bidenomics is not working and that it is Bidenomics that has caused inflation.  Nor, did he mention the fact that Bidenflation is making life unaffordable.

President Biden did mention that Morehouse was a college of former enslaved people.  That strikes the right tone at a historically black college.  He also struck the right tone when talking about how education makes you more free.  But the one thing a college education does not make you free from is the enslavement of college loans since college is increasingly unaffordable.  I do not totally agree with President Biden that loans should automatically be forgiven.  I would set up a system where the government forgives your student loan if you serve in the military, government, or some other form of community service either as a job or volunteer.  People have to give back to get a student loan forgiven under my plan.

President Biden hit home the right tone by honoring Dr. Martin Luther King who I actually think was a Republican.  It was right for President Biden to hit home a message of faith in this speech.   President Biden was also right to bring up the memory of George Floyd.  For the record, George Floyd should have never lost his life with a knee on his neck.  I feel such a gruesome act set race relations back at least 50 years and it put cops in a bad light.  Not all cops are bad most are not, but yet in life, there are some crooked cops, like the ones that killed George Floyd.  

President Biden hit the right tone that race relations are bad.  It all started with the George Floyd incident.  I don’t think race relations have been this bad in America since segregation.  But we are turning the corner.  Due to President Biden’s leadership Childhood poverty among blacks is at an all-time low.  That is a great accomplishment and President Biden must be commended for making that happen.  As always comments accepted.

BIDEN IS FINALLY STANDING UP TO CHINA

BIDEN FINALLY HITS THE RIGHT NOTE ON CHINA

By: Derek Varsalona

Well, that took a while. But President Joseph Biden has finally hit the right note on China.  Maybe his dementia is improving?  Over the weekend President Biden put tariffs on Chinese goods.  For too long the Chinese have been getting away with leaking the coronavirus to the world.  Now, at least President Biden has the right approach by putting tariffs on Chinese goods.  We are now in a war with China.  We are in a Trade War, with China and it is a war that America can win.

We are now entertaining the world of stagflation, prices are slowly going down from inflation.  Yet the world only feels their pocketbooks and their wallets getting lighter.  But prices are beginning to take a downward trend.  When times are tough the President is blamed.  When times are good the President is praised.  Inflation is astir upon us but prices are going down. The Inflation Reduction Act needed time to work it self out of the hole that we are in.

President Biden has finally made Chinese products more expensive.  That is great that China has been killing our economy with the coronavirus.  It is about time President Biden gave China a black eye for all the pain and misery that it has caused not only on America but the rest of the world. 

It sure took a while, but President Biden is right to tax China with tariffs on products.  That is the least he can do to China for bringing Corona Virus to the world and wreaking havoc. As always comments accepted.

CLIMATE CHANGE KILLS HOUSTON

CLIMATE CHANGE KILLS HOUSTON

By: Derek Varsalona

Climate Change has claimed another victim.  This time it has claimed Houston Texas.  Deadly storms have hit Houston, Texas over Friday early morning.  Windows were blown out of buildings and homes.  At least four people are dead in Houston, Texas. The climate change left 100 mph winds.

Climate change is literally killing us as we speak.  The latest victim was in Houston, Texas.  With 100 mph winds the storm left at least 4 people dead with 100 MPH winds in its wake. 

The fact of the matter is that climate change is killing us as we speak.  Houston is the city that is most affected by climate change.  The people's inaction had something to do with this but the people are not the only cause of climate change.  It has to do with various facts.  But as the earth is getting warmer the planet is becoming a more dangerous place to live, work and play.

We all could do something to combat climate change.  This takes action on the people's part.   The fact of the matter is that we are environmentally screwed as climate change is literally killing us.  As always comments accepted.

PRESIDENT BIDEN TO IMPOSE GREEN ENERGY ON AMERICA

BIDEN TO IMPOSE GREEN ENERGY

By: Derek Varsalona

Is Green Energy the wave of the future?  I do not have  problem with Green Energy for say.  But I do have a problem with Green Energy being imposed on American citizens from the federal government.  This should be a matter of choice for what best suites the consumer needs and the city needs for the most cost effective measure.  It should never be forced upon the American public which is what President Biden is trying to do.

President Biden is now investing in Green Energy.  But it is at the expense of Black Gold oil.  President Biden claimed that a oil worker can find a job in the clean green energy sector.  Yeah, maybe if you are in your 20’s in your 40’s and 50’s that becomes very hard since you are near retirement.  The problem with my generation is that inflation is still high and the cost of living is still high that most of us millennials do not see retirement in our futures.  You can thank President Biden and the Democrats for that.

Since President Biden has been in office, companies have invested in more than $17 billion in manufacturing Green Energy.  That is all and good if they did that on their own.  My question is where these companies bribed with tax breaks to promote clean energy?  If that is the case then that is unethical, I am not sure if it is illegal?

President Biden should let people have all energy sources at their disposal.  It is not fair to favor Green Energy over any other type of energy.  As always comments accepted.
