Re: Prior observations
Shame on Anti-Semites in the United States. Shame on those who attacked Israel; It’s a tribal 7th century mentality. This ideology will not change unless PLO and Hamas are replaced by modern merit-based government managing over Gaza and West Bank.
Israel Arabs are mostly very content living in Israel. They live longer, have better opportunity, again be openly gay even have lesbian clubs, participate in tech and entice economy and live next to Jews never get mentioned by NY times? Why is that?
Why do West Bank 100 or 200 deaths a year never get compared to that in a weeks in Chicago?
Why are 8 million migrants to our United States southern border get called by NY times and the like undocumented residents day one? Why should 600,000 Jews many have lived for decades in a non legal nation West Bank or (Judea and Maraia) should get called by NY Times “settlors” for 60 years?
8 million Jews in Israel and 10 million Jews in the United States, out of 8 billion people on earth get more attention than 7,980,000 other humans?
Why are there no protests over massacres in African countries like Sudan. Somalia,
Congo by Muslims?
Why are there no protests after ten of thousands of Yemenis killed by other Yemenis.
Gaza should be run by Emirates after Israel leaves and Hamas is destroyed. The ideology will never be destroyed without a better alternative. Resorts and a Disneyland overseen by Dubai could do it.
Young people root for the oppressed against the oppressor. In Gaza, they have the wrong oppression but are brainwashed from birth.
1400 children and young women and men were mutilated killed by Iran through proxy to scuttle relations of Israel and Saudi Arabia which Iran does not want.

Maureen Dowd had it backward when she says Trump was the gang and Democrats Gary Cooper in High Noon.
Gary Cooper (pre election Trump) stood up to four coordinated questionable lawsuits to destroy him and his business as well as assassination attempts “maybe” coordinated by someone whose job was to protect him. I have a cousin who wishes Trump had been killed. I no longer speak to him. On the other hand, I don’t agree with Trump using Justice Department in getting revenge on law firms. It’s one wrong after another.
Sounds like Brazil.

I’m concerned Ai will obviate need to think and reason. If people merely repeat AI findings. Will brains atrophy?
What will be left to think about other than thinking where to find an Ai answer?

To My friends who oppose auditing of government exposes (our tax dollars use), I say remember the words of Justice Brandeis, “Sunlight is the best of disinfectants”.
Remember the President was elected. His policies are supported by the majority. He can use a CPA or his own team.

California closing schools during pandemic after Great Barrington studies results showed no danger to them was wrong. Kids lost, teachers, unions won. Kids did not get sick and were not educated. Food markets were opened; workers didn’t drop dead.
Liquor stores too. Mom and Pop stores were made to close.
Drugs ruin cities, hurts poor especially Blacks and Latinos.
Universities hire 90% Left to Center. No balance.
Rising costs in the last four years very hard on middle class and poor.
We ran out of Afghanistan leaving $1 trillion spy facility Air Forces base. Might that have picked up on tunnels in Gaza which were more than London underground?
We’ve taken millions of unknows over southern border from China, Yemen, Russia, 150 countries. If 1% are terrorists that’s tragic.
Drug deaths 100,000 a year.

Re: Audits DOGE
Fastidious audits are long overdue at $37 trillion debt creation. Our national interest on debt now is exceeding defense expenditures.
If only California would do it. They lost and could not find I recall $20 billion more or less after the Pandemic. The big California surplus under Governor Brown is now a big annual deficit.
The President as Chief Executive is looking for waste. That is one of his jobs. Congress won’t do it. They are pork pushers. He got that “dumb failure” Musk who they laughed at when he built a car saying no new American Car Company ever makes it.
They doubted him when he helped Ukraine defend itself with satellites our government didn’t provide.
And when NASA with billions paid it still could not bring back stranded astronauts he will.
He built a rocket that comes back and is captured to fly again.
As for Twitter a big part of him wanted “free and fair” debate , not following the Left government line suppressing damaging information on a Biden son laptop. He opened issues up to debate. It’s no big deal to him. He loves the country. He’s worth in a good day $300 billion.
Democrats and Republicans should both want audits and reducing waste.
Non-elected government workers spend billions with no supervision; that’s not good.
Wouldn’t we be better off with zero annual deficits? Holding steady the $1 trillion interest on debt should be a bipartisan objective.

We just visited Austin, Clean, vibrant growing, beneficiary of San Francisco’s not jailing bad guys, allowing drugs to destroy 40,000 humans, theft closing Nordstrom scares off customers; CVS, Walmart, Bloomingdales, maybe Macy’s and so many others.
Helping poor should be objective. So should merit. Pathways For Kids has a Black Nigerian President, Brown Program Director, Filipino Program Person. We push merit in earning money, not salivating for reparations government handouts.
I believe in school competition, not unions fighting charter schools hurting our poorest. I too care about environment but I don’t want small groups to tell me I can’t have different opinions.
