TheVoiceOfJoyce One family’s saga with measles, created a power organization encouraging their grandchildren and others to be Vaccinated. Grandparents for Vaccines advocates for the Measles Vaccine. Many have experienced their unlucky siblings come down with high fevers, encephalitis and never recover their cognitive functions. 29-40% who get encephalitis, as a consequence of the Measles, remain developmentally impaired.

TheVoiceOfJoyce No wonder the Department of Defense is no longer nimble and innovative. It’s bloated by self enrichment and has 5 major contractors, Trump donors and Jared Kushner making a fortune off our new Middle Eastern allies. Meanwhile, defense is spending millions on luxuries and over $1Billion a day/conservative estimate. Who else is profiting from Trump’s War? The oil companies who gave Trump a Billion and Trump’s best Bud, Putin, made $6.9 Billion in a week? While Government decides to hold back all Medicaid funding for Minnesota? All this cronyism is illegal, the declaration of War is illegal and enumerating Putin must be illegal? Is this the Government you voted for?

The Dept of Defense is bloated and behind the times. It supports a short list of Billionaires and Trump family members plus Trump’s War with Iran, now provides capital to Putin and the oil industry, who gave Trump $1 Billion? … More TheVoiceOfJoyce No wonder the Department of Defense is no longer nimble and innovative.

TheVoiceOfJoyce The MAGA faithful are still with Trump, until costs rise dramatically. This is Trump’s War and the longer the Straits of Hormuz are closed, the higher the price of oil and every other commodity, like food and groceries, becomes. When the cost of living rises precipitously, will the MAGA faithful remain?

The Atlantic surveyed the MAGA faithful and they remain dedicated to Trump. What will dislodge their faith? A precipitous rise in prices and cost of living. … More TheVoiceOfJoyce The MAGA faithful are still with Trump, until costs rise dramatically.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Where is the GOP Congressional Leadership putting an end to Trump’s War? Do we have any skilled diplomats ready to negotiate with the Iranians. It seems War could have been avoided and letting Russia profit from oil , after divulging our assets in the Middle East to Iran, is a treasonous mistake. Trump may have an unholy alliance with Putin, but American policy need not be skewed to Putin’s benefit. Can’t anyone control Trump and his instincts? Why are we extending the War with Iran? They’ve stated , if we stop, they’ll stop. Send someone competent to end the carnage. We don’t need propaganda, we need facts and transparency.

We’re at War because Whitkoff and Kushner aren’t diplomats & not capable of negotiating with the Iranians. Making matters worse, Trump rewards Putin, after Putin disclosed our American assets in the Middle East, to the Iranians? Hegseth is asking for propaganda to cover up their crimes and poor judgment in the Iranian War. … More TheVoiceOfJoyce Where is the GOP Congressional Leadership putting an end to Trump’s War?

TheVoiceOfJoyce Guns have contributed to 22,000 child deaths over 10 yrs. Increasing during the Pandemic. Would you support a law to keep guns out of abuser hands? Would you limit Social Media exposure & content encouraging suicide. Total gun suicides was 54,000 in 2024. This problem can be helped by laws and mental health availability.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Finally, I’m reading about someone who sees a problem and will fix it. That’s the new President of Tennessee State University. How refreshing. Next we read about finding out people earning 6 figure salaries are being fired? Why? I suspect the Billionaires don’t need back up? When results are only measured in profits , billionaires don’t want Labor. Finally, schools are being asked to notify their state government when they find undocumented immigrants students. How do you feel about asking kids to produce their parents documents? Or theirs?

TheVoiceOfJoyce Trump’s hyperbole and refusal to acknowledge and take responsibility for his actions means his War with Iran is without end. The US definitely hit the girls school in Iran. He should make apologies and perhaps, Iran would consider negotiations. Twice he’s offered to sit down and resume talks and he’s been rebuffed. Meanwhile, Iran is fighting till we’re disabled and broke. We have 150 wounded soldiers. Many with head injuries and the army does not treat those soldiers well. There’s little support for soldiers with head trauma or injuries. How do we end this War? Trump can’t. Not sure Israel will? Who can negotiate a Peace and an agreement bringing sanity back to our Country and World?

TheVoiceOfJoyce Absolutely no regime change. We’ve seen the enormous waste of lives in Vietnam, Iraq & Afghanistan. We accomplished nothing and lost 10,000’s of soldiers lives and accomplished nothing. Large scale regime change is not possible in Iran. Their government is structured with many individuals involved in the selection of their President. The American people need a full open debate on the necessity of entering a war, already aided by China & Russia? There’s another question to be asked? Why are we lifting any Russion oil sanctions and why aren’t we using impounded Russian funds to help the Ukrainians. Too much money spent by Defense with no accountability and too much money going to cronies to silence the Republican Congress? No more silence, if Trump wants to expand his war of Choice.

Trump’s closed door sessions with select Armed Services Committee members must expand to the full Congress and justify before the need for Iranian Regime Change. We should know and tally all DOD costs to date and the amount this increase in forces will cost. Why is regime change necessary, given our poor record of success? We need Accountability & Justification! … More TheVoiceOfJoyce Absolutely no regime change. We’ve seen the enormous waste of lives in Vietnam, Iraq & Afghanistan.

TheVoiceOfJoyce There’s an internal war going on at the Pentagon. The owner of Anthropic does not their product used for surveillance of American citizens or in war without human supervision. Because the owner of Anthropic has reasonable demands and they’re being supported by Microsoft and Paul Krugman et al, the Government has decided Anthropic is a supply chain risk? The government wants to stifle all of Anthropic’s business because they won’t comply with the Government’s demands. This leads America open to a National Security risk! The government wants to hire cronies that work with them and line their pockets. They don’t choose the best product, leaving us vulnerable.
