It is disappointing for adult children to discover too late that their parents tapped out the equity of a home that, in some situations, their parents had inherited from their parents. It is tragic when their inheritance disappeared into the coffers of a predatory lender.

Despite military involvement in 75% of the world, mainstream news outlets always stop short of calling out American aggressions…Ivanka Trump was at her father’s side for several meetings at the G20, and new video posted by the French government shows the first daughter having an awkward chat with world leaders.

Don’t assign/give the credit to Trump. Trump is just an ignorant real estate puppet.

Relevant ….Someone is listening to “Mother Earth”
The world is increasingly at risk of “climate apartheid”, where the rich pay to escape heat and hunger caused by the escalating climate crisis while the rest of the world suffers, a report from a UN human rights expert has said. Philip Alston, UN special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, said the impacts of global heating are likely to undermine not only basic rights to life, water, food, and housing for hundreds of millions of people, but also democracy and the rule of law. Alston is critical of the “patently inadequate” steps taken by the UN itself, countries, NGOs and businesses, saying they are “entirely disproportionate to the urgency and magnitude of the threat”. His report to the UN human rights council (HRC) concludes: “Human rights might not survive the coming upheaval.”

I just got caught up on my reading and find that nothing happened while I was gone. 🙂The USA did a drone attack/invasion. Iran shot down the drone with a missile.
The USA attacked the electronic systems of Iran including the system that shot down the drone. Iran will still have operating missiles and will probably get better defense operating system from Russia.
Why am I reading that even India and Turkey is getting a good missile system from Russia?China is going to build 30 nuclear power plant. Why? Are they going to outsource their “dirty” industries? Or is China thinking that there will be a need for all that energy. I think that if you want a modern society then you got to make sure to have a continuous electric supply.

They are rose-tinted spectacles or rose-tinted glasses or rose-coloured glasses
( If someone sees something or someone through rose-tinted spectacles or rose-coloured glasses, they only notice the good things about them and so their view is unrealistic. Note:Rose-coloured' is spelledrose-colored’ in American English. )(Grinnnn!)
I figured out why people are all spending too much time looking at their smart phone screens.
The elites invented addictive games.
Playing addictive, repetitive games on your phone, I-pad, etc. is a good way of consuming the hours of a day so that you do not have time to learn to do the task that you don’t know how to do so that you can avoid being a functional member of our society.(Repetition is memorizing and therefore makes learning possible.)
The elites do not need educated rif-raf questioning their every decisions.
The elites expect the rif-raf to shut up and do as they are told.
Should be seen and not heard.
The elites wants the rif-raf to be docile members in la-la-land

But I’m doin’ the best that I can@ zerosum Christopher Steele is not a foreign government. He is a private citizen doing “oppo research.” Something you seem to espouse.
I cannot figure out what is your point.
I’m I being reprimanded for something inaccurate?
Here is what wiki has to say. He is not a USA citizen.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Steele
Christopher David Steele (born 24 June 1964) is a British former intelligence officer with the Secret Intelligence Service MI6 from 1987 until his retirement in 2009.Poor Trump.

“It is the assessment by the United States government that the Islamic Republic of Iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the Gulf of Oman today,” Pompeo told reporters at the US State Department.
“This assessment is based on intelligence, the weapons used, the level of expertise needed to execute the operation, recent similar Iranian attacks on shipping, and the fact that “no proxy group operating in the area has the resources and proficiency to act with such a high degree of sophistication. EXCEPT THE USA
Pompeo just admitted, by the process of ellimination, that they are the only ones in the area who could do this damage to the oil tankers.
He is being persecuted for his virtues.
When will stools be excreted in a zip lock bag?
Who possibly would and could torpedo a Japanese oil tanker while Japanese Prime Minister Abe and Iranian officials were meeting?
(Supposedly, Trump is using Abe to negotiate for the US. This looks like it would mess that up. Whose interests does that serve?)Answer:
1. Any news that removes Trump from the headlines
2. Anyone who would have positioned themselves to make money
3. Someone who holds a grudge
4. someone who does not fear retribution
5. A racist
6. A religious extremist (zealot, fanatic)
7. A rich and powerful elite.
8. An idiotThere are some subject that bloggers are not allowed to discuss. It those subject are mentioned or are critical of those who rule then the comment section could or would attract the supporters to comment and attack.
