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.

TheVoiceOfJoyce While we obsess over how far Trump and Bibi should go in their War with Iran, I and many believe, declare victory and go home. Iran has refused military capability and depleted water resources. Let Israel and the Gulf States negotiate a just settlement. No more war. Meanwhile, Trump continues to change his mind and doesn’t lose focus on enriching himself and family by merchandising the 250 th Celebration of our Democracy. A Democracy, he and his regime would like to quash! Ah well, Trump is onto the next grift while we struggle with affording healthcare, housing, food and electricity. He’s no concerned.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Nashville has a problem with the flattening out of distinctive musical sounds as it caters to Country, R&B and religious music. Their government rep sold all his Tesla stock , in order to be unbiased when dealing with The Boring Co. Integrity is a commodity missed in our Federal Government.

TheVoiceOfJoyce On the home front Kristy Noem has been fired for corruption. She set up a $220,000 million ad campaign with her husband’s friend and purchased a plane for personal, not DHS , use. She’s being replaced by someone equally incompetent and very prejudiced,Markwayne Mullin, leaving an Oklahoma seat in the Senate open. DHS stays the same or worse, only the players changed. In another blow to Trump, his ballroom is on hold and his 15% tariffs are being challenged . The War in Iran continues, best guess, only 1-2 weeks more.

TheVoiceOfJoyce It’s clear there is no plan for ending Trump’s war with Iran. Oil prices may surge, however, unlike 1979, we’re not dependent on mid east prices and our price at the pump won’t increase much. More worrisome are our shadow banking system and Trump’s responses to internal pressures. He doesn’t react well under stress!

TheVoiceOfJoyce Trump isn’t responsible for the outcome of this War and his Cabinet choices have no responsibility for their decisions affecting our Labor, health and welfare or our National Security. Every government department is demoralized by Trump’s choices.

Government worked till Newt Gingrich helped change the rules under Clinton. The Heritage Foundation and The Federalist Society long views took over and Capitalism, not Democracy reins!

TheVoiceOfJoyce Don’t forget the other major news, besides Epstein, Iran regime change, Larry Ellison and Shari Redstone combined forces to sell Warner Bros, Comedy Central, HBO, CNN to Larry Ellison & his son David.

TheVoiceOfJoyce This Republican Congress doesn’t act often,when the legislators act, they act to destroy our magnificent parks, favoring a foreign Copper mine, over the rights of 250,000 tourists in the northeast corner of Minnesota. 4 of TR’s sons signed a letter, asking the Senators to vote No!

Boundary Waters has been set aside as valuable parkland with pristine glacial lakes and pathways. No snowmobiling allowed. It attracts the most tourists of any Park. Its sanctity has been protected for years and there’s no rule of law that allows violating its territory with a Foreign mining project.
