Pro Palestine demonstration on Easter Sunday

 Just a thought

How would a Muslim country react to a pro-Israel demonstration on Eid Al-Fitr or Eid Al-Adha?  Now I am not for anything on that fight, what Hamas did was unspeakable what Israel is doing to Gaza is genocide, BUT I was watching the news yesterday, and a group of people (they were not identified) were demonstrating on Easter Sunday for Palestine.  

My thought process was, how would a Muslim country react if someone did this in their country (again "their country is fluid") but let's take any generic Muslim country.   I would hazard to guess that it would not end quietly or peacefully, and I would be surprised if anyone disagrees.

My point is that we have freedom of expression in the Western world. Of course, we are not perfect, and we are probably the only place where such demonstrations can occur --- still, and I am not particularly religious, I was offended that on this day, they would do such a thing. 

To me, it shows that they do not care about our traditions, or our values -- all that matters is them, and always them.  Yes, it's unkind, and yes genocide cannot wait, although one has to wonder why they've only demonstrated in Western countries.  As if we are the only ones responsible.  How about the Saudi, or Egypt or Syria.  The silence from the Muslim world is breathtaking and all-encompassing.   

Something to ponder.

The end of Tesla?

 it takes a special kind of idiot, to think that he can antagonize his entire customer base, and think that it will not impact his business. When Elon Musk went to work for Donald Trump, and created the doge department, he antagonized every liberal, and these people represent 90% of his client base.That’s not a brilliant move. Now Elon Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollar, so he shouldn’t care a great deal, however, he needs to care because of several other issues. The cyber truck has been a disaster, most have had to be recalled because of defective glue, it’s not a truck, it’s not a car, it’s noisy, relatively uncomfortable, but great as a development platform. What Tesla has learned in making car manufacturing more seamless is truly amazing. The problem was that Elon Musk was so pissed with the Democrats, and with Joe Biden, in particular because of some slight, which were just plain stupid too. By the way, that he decided to support with hundreds of millions of dollar, ...

Donald Trump‘s bad bargain

 The entire of 2023 and 2024 when Donald Trump was running for the White House, his mantra was no war, that the Ukraine conflict would be resolved in a day, and that he would do everything not to involve America and war. How the world has changed! He finds himself facing three conflicts; Ukraine, still going on almost 5 months after he became president. Gaza, an unspeakable crime against humanity, is obviously going to go all the way to its bitter end. And finally, Israel’s attack against Iran. It’s important to note, that Benjamin Netanyahu first indicated at the United nation that the Iranian were 3 to 5 years away from having the nuclear bomb. He made that statement in 1995. Therefore, no one is surprised that he uses the same two lines every so often. It’s entirely possible, that 30 years after he first announced it, that Iran has finally developed the bomb. It’s also remarkable that Iran, local power has been destroyed, from Yemen, to Syria, via Lebanon and Gaza to small exten...

TACO again, but worst!

 Donald Trump got the rare earth metals that he had thrown away on April 2, liberation day as he called it. What did the Chinese get in exchange? The whole deal, is on the wrap right now. But let’s be clear. It’s the Chinese that have the upper hand.Some of the materials made by the Chinese, are simply unavailable anywhere else. suspicions are that the Chinese got the high-end chips that they lost under Biden. Tariffs will probably return to the level of April 1, and in the end Donald and his friends got nothing for it. It gets worse, Chinese exports to United States are down 40%. The Chinese have found new markets, I probably never gonna buy American grain again. Once again, Donald Trump proved he’s a great negotiator. He got absolutely nothing for his Showmanship. He told the world, that everyone would come and kiss his ass, instead they’re laughing At him. There’s no joke about Donald Trump, a 25 and inherited a huge fortune and proceeded to make it a small one. Bottom line, the...
