AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Putin intends to liberate Russian speakers in Donbas? Most Ukrainians speak Russian. They’re a dual language country and many have relatives in Ukraine & Russia. Putin’s War is a War of agggression , brutality and conquest. He may not stop at Donbas. Ukrainians may fight with everything they have to prevent this takeover. Day 55 , $1.1 Trillion spent by Putin? Why do the Russian people prefer Russian Imperialism to reforms at home? Do they love their shackles? No Country benefits from Autocracy or Greed.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Ron DeSantis has turned the entire State of Florida into a political background. First he gave out Monoclonal antibodies rather than letting citizens get the Vaccine. Encouraging Covid infections without caring about the consequences. Then he banned masks, that help reduce the incidence of Covid infections. Recently, he targeted the LGBTQ&A community and now he’s banning Math Books? DeSantis has a reign of Infection, death , discrimination against groups of people and is repressing education. America’s past involved slavery and the slaughter of the Indigenous Indians. No one should be repressed by a repressive government. Kids need math. Kids need history not myths. And kids need to feel they belong in a multicultural society. America is a melting pot. Allow people to think analytically , give them the educational opportunity to achieve. That concept appears alien to DeSantis, who acts as an Autocratic leader , rather than a supporter of Democracy.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Big Farms plant for profit eliminating bio diversity. As our planet warms with short term policy, neglecting reality many will starve. We can mitigate food insufficiencies by planting without pesticide, with solar and using Israeli innovation. Israel can produce rice and wheat with higher salinity water in the desert. They have a device that takes water out of the atmosphere and saves it for people and plants. The age of oil dependency has to end to innovate for our future. We can no longer be influenced by big oil and big Farms. Nor can we allow Greg Abbot the Governor of Texas destroy our fruits and vegetables, because he has the power to hold up our Supply Chains. We the People can no longer afford to vote passively, our lives depend on us becoming concerned involved citizens.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce More nurses striking with better pay, benefits, affordable healthcare, and retention of staff. They’re overwhelmed by the Covid crisis. Their work is arduous, constant pressure and accountability, pay them adequately for a job well done! It’s deserving. Then rework the role of insurance on hospital management and regulate, Insurance has too much power and destroys hospital efficiencies. Try the Maryland model. It works for John’s Hopkins.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Following in Putin’s footsteps, Ron DeSantos is limiting all actions by the people. Now he’s going to rewrite District Maps giving TrumpsGOP 20-8 chance of winning. Isn’t that Authoritarian? Going against the LBGTQ&A Community is disturbing and goes against human Nature. How restrictive will Florida become? Can their new laws be litigated.? Can the people refuse to work or serve under these conditions? Unionize for wages & benefits? Amend the Ballot process to enable a Recall election?

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Zelensky offers Putin a deal, Russian Oligarch, Medvedchuk exchanged for Ukrainians transported to Russia. We’re chemical weapons used in Mariupol? As the War continues No humanitarian corridors are open. The routes are too dangerous. Finland & Sweden to decide within weeks whether to join NATO. They fear being left alone to fight off Russia. Nervous Nations, war crimes , chemical weapons, starvation, devastation, and no victory for Putin or humanity? What will it take to stop Putin’s War?

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce First GOP States rolled out restrictive Voting Rights Bills & gerrymandering to stay in Power. Now they’re rolling back the clock on LBGTQ&A freedoms? It’s 2022 , the Country has moved on. This GOP is so consumed with their own backward agenda, they’re out of touch with 70% of the People. Be empowered and fight them in the Courts and at the ballot box. This is a battle they can’t win. First they’ll target one group, if you say nothing, who will be around to speak for human rights and equal justice?
