Rise and Resist NYC has a protest action daily. Join them , make new friends and be prepared for the next major event. … More TheVoiceOfJoyce No major marches are planed, but Rise & Resist meets daily to protest at sites. Join them peacefully. Then you’ll be ready for the next major marches!
Trump’s mindset is worrying and he’s fired another Chief of Staff. As of this writing, the 2 nd crewman from the downed F-15 was rescued. Iran continues their missile barrage and shoots down our planes in the nw. … More TheVoiceOfJoyce The latest from Trump who has decided to stop talking so much his plans for Iran. As I write this note, the 2 nd airman ejected from the downed F-15 was rescued! Our prayers are with their families. What’s next?
NATO was signed 4/4/49 , its lasted as a bulwark against aggression and might have prevented two world wars, if it existed earlier. It’s time for a Middle Eastern Alliance. We need an end to War in the Middle East. A treaty that binds all the Nations together in a common bond , pursuing peace, while helping each other to maintain their resources and prosper. The Middle Eastern Nations need a common Treaty Now. META. … More TheVoiceOfJoyce The NATO Alliance was formed 4/4/49 and has established a willingness of all Nations under the treaty to be bound by the principles of Peace. An alliance that recognizes our differences and stands as a bulwark against any foreign nation threatening us militarily. One for all and all for one. It would be a good idea, if mistrust & War were replaced by a similar Treaty alliance in the Middle East. One unit, helping their individual people’s prosper without fear of War. Surely Peace is preferable to fear and destruction. The Gulf Countries, Israel, Iran need an alliance so they may all prosper, rather than suffer the devastation of War. Better to determine how to maintain and share resources!
You have choices to make after hearing the President’s speech. Will Iran be stronger & more determined to get a bomb or will Trump pull out of NATO? You can weigh in. … More TheVoiceOfJoyce What do you think will be a major consequence of the Iran War. Robert Reich lays out four scenarios for you to choose. I’m not so sure, Iran will wind up with a Nuclear Weapon. My 2 cents, if the World’s nations would agree to a nonaggression pact in the Region, that would be the best outcome. No more terrorism and dedicating our selves to infrastructure and improvements of our environment and people’s lives.
Donald Trump’s mood is shifting again. He wants out of the Iran War. He’s angry and trying to curtail our ability to vote by mail. The courts are going against him. His ballroom isn’t legal nor are his voting schemes. The American people are paying for his Imperialism. … More TheVoiceOfJoyce Not so fast, we can’t move away from Trump without Impeachment or the mid term elections. Trump can get out of this War with negotiations to end nuclear weapons and opening the Straits of Hormuz. Do we want a contained Iran? Yes. Who will negotiate the deal? Or will we find ourselves in an escalation trap? The Straits must open to lower the costs of fuel and give passage to the other petroleum products in our food chain. Meanwhile, the oil companies are making windfall profits and the American consumer will pay a hefty price for driving non electric cars and food. We could take away Fossil Fuel subsidies and recoup almost $1 Trillion. Enough to lessen our Healthcare premiums, etc. it’s a thought. Why subsidize Fossil Fuels when they’re making windfall profits at our expense?
Since October 7th I’ve been in weekly communication with my friend, Avi. We Zoom every Sunday at noon. If you have empathy for his plight and want to understand his Democratic perspective on the State of Israel, you may join us, as well. Write me : TheVoiceOfJoyce@earthlink.net If you find my posts informative, please donate to my site at the same email address, using Zelle. Thank you. … More TheVoiceOfJoyce I communicate regularly with my friend, Avi, in Israel and thought in this time of holiday, perhaps you’d benefit from a personal perspective on the mood in Israel. Like me, my friend supports Democracy, a Two State Solution and a pluralistic society. He’s feeling alone and sad on this Holiday. Read on and support people in Israel, like Avi. He’s been protesting against the Netanyahu Government for 3 years. Israelis aren’t monolithic, nor are Americans. We need to persuade others in our respective Communities, that Democracy, equality and freedom are the best options!
As the War continues Trump’s policies become more nuanced to take away our rights and healthcare and benefits that create stable institutions and jobs. … More TheVoiceOfJoyce What I find extraordinary about this post, is a new understanding of the Republican mindset that gave us, Donald Trump. This faction of the conservative GOP wanted to obliterate all of Americans Social Safety Nets while enriching themselves. Elon Musk was on last week’s call between Trump & Modi. The Billionaires have more power than we know. The War? Russia continues to win under Trump. Congress is in recess till 4/13.
The TSA continues unfounded because the GOP in the house will not co sponsor the Senates Bill. Trump’s far right Republican Party won’t govern and must be replaced! … More TheVoiceOfJoyce If you have doubts about marching with your neighbors today, read the transcripts coming out of Congress. It would have been easy to find every agency except Border Payroll and ICE. The GOP blew it and now TSA isn’t funded and long lines continue at Airports and who knows if FEMA is prepared? ICE is paid and they’re harassing and detaining travelers at airports. That’s what they do. Luckily, the Save Act wasn’t passed or 21 million would be off the voting rolls according to the Brennan Law Center. March proudly, with your local No Kings community. Let Trump know, millions care about our Democracy and the health and wellbeing and safety of our neighbors. We are the United States. One country, indivisible by Tyranny and incompetence.
Jack Shaw has evidence Trump obtained Highly Classified Documents and Maps and endangered our National Security for personal gain. … More TheVoiceOfJoyce Under FDR The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire was a call to action and Francis Perkins , as Secretary of Labor, ushered in a new era of Protections for employees. Today, we have a President uninterested in the entire truth about his War with Iran and only watches our military? Worse, he’s covering up Classified Documents that were meant for 6 people in government and may have shared them and maps with the Saudis for private business negotiations, jeopardizing our National Security. Time and again, Trump’s allegiance is to himself and the family businesses. Wake up America and hold Trump accountable for his betrayal and negligence. Don’t forget to march and Saturday, No Kings Day! (3/28)!
Trump encourages insider trading, he uses mail in ballots, prefers DHS unfounded rather than reform ICE AND CBP thugs. He’s pushing the Save Act disenfranchising millions. … More TheVoiceOfJoyce The Round up on Trump’s recent actions. He’s destroying the Architectural look of the previous centuries and adding more Bling to the White House. He’s escalating the War with Iran while “negotiating “ peace talks. He vote by mail while claiming the process should be eliminated. We have a set of rules for US and no rules for Trump. The GOP could reopen the Government tomorrow,if they agreed to reform ICE & CBP? Trump is keeping the airlines understaffed and using untrained and brutal ICE agents in Airports or the Mid Terms is against their mission. Why maintain a facade and deploy these untrained bullies at the President’s pleasure?
