An Absolutely Amazing UN Outcome
-
Security Council Backs Trump’s Plan for Postwar Gaza
U.N. vote, on which China and Russia abstained, will pave the way for new governance in the Palestinian enclave
https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/security-council-expected-to-back-trumps-plan-for-post-war-gaza-d500fb3b?mod=hp_listb_pos2
-
The U.N. Security Council voted to back President Trump’s Middle East peace plan on Monday following a flurry of backroom diplomacy by top Trump officials and U.S. allies.
The resolution forms the central plank of the Trump administration’s next steps to implement a lasting peace in Gaza following the two-year Israel-Hamas war. The resolution passed the 15-member Security Council with 13 votes in favor and two countries—Russia and China—abstaining.

Media Irresponsibility Vs. Accountability
-
Trump has been using lawsuits to hold elements of the PravdaMedia responsible and accountable for their irresponsible and biased so called “news”.
The latest blatant abuser is the BBC with their “expose” of Trump’s public statements on Jan 6th in DC. This is particularly vexing due to the normal so-called scrutiny of press statements by the British government and the quite often jail terms handed out for press mis&dis-informatiion.

BBC: The biased broadcasting corporation
Media company's editing of Trump speech was no mistake
https://www.washingtontimes.com/multimedia/image/ap_britain_bbc_43895jpg/
Two friends emailed from London about the editing scandal that led to the resignation of two top officials from the British Broadcasting Corp. The resignations followed the exposure of the splicing together of two parts of a speech by President Trump on Jan. 6, 2021. The edits made it look and sound like the president was urging his followers to violently attack the Capitol.

Virginia Electric Power Reality
-
Virginia Democrats decreed, in law, the end of all fossil-fuel electricity by 2050 and set-out to make that a reality!
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2022/09/some-reality-injected-into-virginias.html
Now Abigail is trying to react to the reality of increasing electric demand and a limited (by Democrat decree) supply.
Trump’s support for a proper mix of electric supply systems is the key to America’s energy and financial and sustainable future.
The Responsible Mix: Nuclear, Hydro, Fossil-Oil-Gas, Solar, Wind -- in that order.
-

As electric bills and demand rise, is Virginia's energy crisis already here?
https://roanoke.com/news/state-regional/government-politics/article_39006d1b-2607-502e-936e-69da70d2f2a5.html#tracking-source=home-the-latest
Data center demand for electricity is rising faster than the supply of power in Virginia, and it’s showing up in monthly electric bills, even before the (Democrat self-imposed) energy crisis that Gov.-elect Abigail Spanberger sees on the horizon.

Neck Deep In The Energy Muddy
Va.D.Gov Northam and his Bloomberg Democrats “Decreed” the end of ALL Utility fossil fuels in Virginia by 2050.
Where will he be when the Green turns to Black?
Oh – Right – He’s already ‘out-of-here’ as are Gore, Greta and Kerry and Bloomberg is back in NYC.
Don't you just love leaders who bear No responsibility or accountability for their decisions?
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2022/04/neck-deep-in-energy-muddy.html

Perhaps it would be good energy policy to have the replacements for our current energy supplies in-place, operational and demonstrated to provide 24-7-365 serviceability and affordability BEFORE dismantling our current reliable energy supply systems. You Think?

Communism And Artificial-Equality
-
A rather blunt view of the natural distribution of human abilities and capabilities as they relate to the successes and or limitations in society.
A seldom publicly expressed view, just as we clearly limit the view of the real distribution of capabilities of students in public school programs.
Only in sports do we let the stark major spread in capabilities be seen.
4-minute mile anyone?

JFK Addressed Mamdani’s Communism In 1962

JFK would be shocked with the overwhelming NYC Mamdani election win based on extreme left-wing ideology bordering on if not in the Communist Manifesto.

Veterans Day Nov 11th 2025
-
The 11th Hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month
Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938.
-
Armed Forces Day -- For those who wear the uniform
Veterans Day -- For those who once wore the uniform
Memorial Day -- For those who never made it out of uniform
-
It is the VETERAN, not the preacher,
who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the VETERAN, not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the VETERAN, not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the VETERAN, not the campus organizer,
who has given us freedom to assemble.
It is the VETERAN, not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.

Who has given us the right to vote.

New Va Governor Really Excited
-
Our new Virginia Governor, Abigail Spanberger, is so excited about getting elected Governor, as a Democrat in a Democrat State, that her first act is to join a ‘Good Ole Boys Club
https://roanoke.com/news/article_1fa512fd-5c05-58aa-b999-1baacc1d7b1c.html
-
One might question the new governor’s priorities and perspectives.
Gender and age notwithstanding, apparently the Commonwealth must be in fairly good shape if this is her immediate action priority.
-
The ‘boys in the ‘Good Ole Boy’s Club’ must be overwhelmed with enthusiasm to have a new female member named Abigail join them. So much for the “Boy” thing.
-
We’re off to a new adventure --- what a joy!
Can hardly wait for the Spambergers to start flying!
-
-
Based on the massive front page heading, the editors of the RT are apparently overwhelmed with this ‘Boys Club’ development --- Really?

Punish Innocent – Reward Guilty
-
The real world has been observed from the time we were young, that the old adage applies:
Punish Innocent – Reward Guilty
We have experienced and observed numerous examples and opined
About The lack of “fairness” of it all.
This election contained an outstanding example:
Republican were ‘docked’ for the increases in electricity costs! Really!
Of course the PravdaMedia were major purveyors of that message!

Has it not been the Democrats that have driven massive costs into our
Utility systems with duplicate and redundant solar and wind systems
that duplicate, but Do Not replace, our current hydro/coal/oil/nuc systems
that are required for 24-7-365 serviceability!
Those duplicate costs have significantly driven-up our bills!

But apparently rate payers punished Republicans for this situation!

VaAG Jay Jones Sets New Standard For Death Threats
-
D-Candidate VaAG Jay Jones made very public, very direct death-threats directed at a political office holder and his children.
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/04/virginia-elections-jay-jones-texts-00594261
The Virginia legal system elected not to arrest or charge him for those threats in spite of the violation of Virginia Law.
There’s no public notice that he was even interviewed by law enforcement.
§ 18.2-60. Threats of death or bodily injury to a person or member of his family
https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title18.2/chapter4/section18.2-60/
-
The question going forward: is making death threats against others in Virginia no longer a violation or even reason for police interviews or court issuance of restraint orders?

They’re Back: Communists And Their Fellow-Travelers
-
Live long enough and you will see the Communist Frisbee circle back again.
Having grown-up in the NY Catskill’s in the 50’s I saw numerous openly avowed communists enjoying their summer time leisure out of NYCs sweltering heat (before widespread air-conditioning).
Included among our small town visitors was one of the editors of the Daily Worker.

Sec. of State Pompeo warns governors of Chinese infiltration into US: 'It's happening in your state'
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pompeo-warns-governors-of-china-infiltration
.....may have to copy-paste address into browser -- it's a left-wing thing
“China's Communist Party has infiltrated various levels of America's infrastructure and is working to destroy the values of the United States, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during a speech Saturday, while also warning state governors to be wary of China's infiltration.”
-
Given Hollywood’s biased views of Trumps’ team and their history of embracing socialism one can now expect a major direct assault upon Pompeo reminiscent of the anti-McCarthy onslaught for his:
“vociferous campaign against ‘alleged’ communists in the US government and other institutions carried out under Senator Joseph McCarthy in the period 1950–54.”
-
Any student of history would conclude there were communists in the US State Dept that influenced the very ill FDR to agree to the Yalta agreement that committed 50-million East Europeans to 50-years of Soviet Slavery.
A condition that caused many Americans to proclaim:

The Longest Filibuster
-
The Democrats, after 4 times in recent past having voted for ‘clean continuing resolutions’ to break ongoing filibusters; they now are dragging the country through extended discomfort for what they think will be political gain.

May have to copy/paste address into browser --- it's a left-wing thing
Senate Republicans are trying a new approach in enticing Democrats to reopen the government, offering a test vote on taking up some of the annual spending bills after repeated failed votes on a temporary stopgap measure.
-
-
Appropriate song: “Memories Are Made Of This”
-
All this reminiscent of the ‘longest senate Democrat filibuster’:
“The 1964 filibuster was a record-setting 60-day attempt by Southern Democrat senators to block the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964”

PravdaMedia Hyped Iran Nuc Survival
-
After the Trump B2 strike on Iran’s deep underground nuclear facilities, the PravdaMedia spent days of high-coverage “news” that the attack was a failure and the nuclear materials and processes were intact.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2025/06/more-iran-nuc-biased-news.html
-
-
The Trump Team responded with vigor that the attacks were successful and that the Iran nuclear program was decimated and set-back at least a decade.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2025/06/denuclearize-iran-by-force.html
-
-
Now the head of Israeli Mossad has confirmed, 4-monts after the strike, that the attack was successful and the Iranian nuclear program was “obliterated”.
This from a most knowledgeable source and one of those most likely to be targeted by Iran.

Trump Trip: Encouraging Results
-
Another worthy Trump Trip; Focused on economics and trade and peace.
Rabid AntiTrump factions back home try to marginalize his achievements, mean-while hurting the country with a continued shut-down of important government funded functions primarily impacting traditional Democrat voters. As the kids used to say: “good move X-Lax”!

Trump's Asia tour sees deals, knee-bending and a revealing final meeting
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1j8zn0ex9ro
Each stop was punctuated by a blend of traditional trade negotiations – deals made under the shadow of Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs – and personal accommodations that at times bordered on the obsequious.
-
In Malaysia, Trump secured access to critical minerals and made progress toward finalizing trade arrangements with south-east Asian nations. He also presided over a treaty that should ease border tensions between Thailand and Cambodia – the kind of "peace deal" the American president loves to tout.
-
In Japan, Trump's Marine One flew past a Tokyo Tower lit red, white and blue – with a top in Trumpian gold. Newly elected Prime Minister Sanai Takaichi detailed $550bn in Japanese investments in the US
-
The main event of Trump's Asia trip came in its final hours, however, as he met with Xi.
The US lowered its tariffs, while China eased access to critical minerals, and pledged to resume importing US agricultural products and increase purchases of US oil and gas.

"If you're going to make an omelette, you've got to crack a few eggs. And if you're going to give free healthcare to illegal immigrants, you've got to let some children go hungry," said Senator Cory Booker.

"It's, like, not hard for kids to find food. There are stores literally filled with food," said Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. "Some food even grows in the ground, and the ground is everywhere, so technically, they can get food from anywhere. You just, like, dig the food out of the ground or whatever."

Rio: From Policing To Combat
-
The DrugCriminal-police clash in Brazil’s Rio has risen to military level combat.
The amazing aspect is the anti-Police pushback by people and organizations that should be supportive.
Reminiscent of the support in NY Queens for Mafioso John Gotti.
https://www.aetv.com/articles/john-gotti-neighborhood-community-working-class-son
Apparently no tears or commendations for the four officers killed.
How deep into the carpet of society have the criminals infiltrated in order to generate that much local support and sympathy?
Wonder: How many American’s have these Drug people poisoned?

Huge Brazilian raid on Rio gang leaves at least 64 (132?) people dead and 81 under arrest
https://www.aol.com/articles/huge-raid-rio-gang-leaves-185507479.html
About 2,500 Brazilian police and soldiers launched a massive raid on a drug-trafficking gang in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday, arresting 81 suspects and sparking shootouts that left at least 60 (132?) suspects and four police officers dead, officials said.
-
The operation included officers in helicopters and armored vehicles and targeted the notorious Red Command in the sprawling low-income favelas of Complexo de Alemao and Penha, police said.
The police operation was one of the most violent in Brazil's recent history, with human rights organizations calling for investigations into the deaths.
-
Rio’s state Gov. Claudio Castro said in a video posted on X that 60 criminal suspects were “neutralized” during the massive raid that he called the biggest such operation in the city's history. Some 81 suspects were arrested, while 93 rifles and more than half a ton of drugs were seized, the state government said, adding that those killed “resisted police action.”
-
Rio's civil police said on X that four officers died in Tuesday's operation. “The cowardly attacks by criminals against our agents will not go unpunished,” it said.

-
At least 132 killed in Rio police raid, officials say
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8x155engwpo
The number of people known to have been killed in a deadly police raid in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday has risen to 132, officials say.
This is more than double the figure cited after the police operation in the favelas (poor neighborhoods) of Alemão and Penha, in the north of Rio de Janeiro, on Tuesday.

DC Crime NonStop

The ongoing daily violent crime in DC continues to vex all the residents and workers in DC. It seems there is NO end and there does not appear to be a united public consensus on an “eradication program”.
In fact, DC has laws that defy policing actions and real criminal justice. Perhaps Marshal Law will have to be invoked in order to make a difference.

The nation’s capital saw one of its most violent weekends of the year after 12 people were shot across the city over the span of just nine hours, police said.
The violence in Washington, D.C., began on Friday at around 5:30 p.m., after a teenage girl was shot on southeast Yuma Street, FOX 5 reported. Just 15 minutes later, a teenage boy was reportedly struck by a bullet on 50th Street.
Two hours later, a man was shot on 16th Street in the northwest area of the city.
At 8:18 p.m., a 5-year-old boy’s face was grazed by a bullet while on Savannah Terrace in the southeast, according to FOX 5.
The violence continued just minutes later, when three men, one woman and a teenage boy were shot just steps from Howard University’s campus, as the school was hosting a homecoming event.

Inside the Mamdani Machine: Soros cash, socialists and radical imams engineered Zohran Mamdani’s path to power
Zohran Mamdani's political ascent involved $2.5M in Soros funding and ties to controversial imams

A database of 110 groups backing Mamdani exposes a tight inner circle of organizations that identify as Muslim or socialist, working hand-in-glove with 76 Democratic Party affiliates, allied groups and unions. Particularly important in this political machine are two networks – Sarsour’s MPower organizations and another constellation of groups called Emgage, with which she works closely.
-
The organizations have been generously funded. In total, billionaire George Soros’ Open Society philanthropies have given MPower and Emgage nearly $2.5 million in recent years, according to tax filings.

Better Dead Than Red

I grew up and later served my country under the old Banner: "Better Dead Than Red” slogan.
It’s difficult now to see our largest city on the verge of electing a communist to city Mayor with a city council already embedded in the extreme left-wing camp.
Perhaps this is a wake-up call that the majority of American’s need to take "internal challenges" to our country and way of life and 'bill of rights' far more seriously.

The major to-do now is somehow convincing Putin to stop his ‘war of aggression’ in Ukraine. Trump’s rallying NATO countries is a major opportunity.

The success of the protests, however, denies their case. A monarch would have attempted to disperse the crowds or put important meeting sites off-limits. A monarch would not have gone about conducting the business of state while people dressed in goofy costumes, banged drums and hurled vile insults at his head. A monarch… would not have been elected by a majority of the nation.

Rutgers An OnGoing LeftWing Disappointment
-
Rutgers, state university of New Jersey, has been a disappointment since the Viet Nam War timeframe when radicals burned down the field house and all its significant historical contents including ROTC facilities and records.
-
As a bastion of left-wing liberal ideology it’s not surprising that one of their professors has authored "Antifa: The Antifascist Handbook," and the faculty and administration are fully supporting him and are dissing TPUSA, the Charlie Kirk organization.

The victory lap over Gaza-Hamas was inspirational, however, there are difficult and dangerous days ahead before “true peace” will come to Gaza and releasing 2,000 hardcore Hamas prisoners isn’t helpful.

Every state has a Dept of Education responsible for the Management and Direction of the schools in that state including teacher education, certification and student graduation requirements.
Tax-payer education funds at the Federal Level, if any, should be allocated directly to the states based on needs and equity allocations!
The role of a small dept of ed at the federal level would be to Maintain Data Bases of:
State testing content and outcomes
State best educational practices
Best teacher education facilities, content, certification and outcomes.

Special education staff decimated after Trump administration shutdown firings
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/special-education-staff-decimated-after-trump-administration-shutdown/story?id=126432474
The nation's special education services have been significantly impacted after Friday's mass layoffs within the Department of Education and it could have an immediate impact on children with disabilities, education department sources told ABC News.
"[If] there's no staff, who the heck is going to administer this program?
The agency enforces the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the law creating a free and appropriate education for children with disabilities, and funds special education services to the tune of around $15 billion.

A curriculum focused on student competence, skill and knowledge.
Parent-student choices for students drowning in failing school systems that defy improvement and accountability.
Secretary Guidera's first major challenge will be realigning the entrenched liberal bureaucracy that has failed many of our students, teachers, parents and taxpayers.

The plight of the Palestinian’s brings reflections of images of 1945 in Europe and Japan.
The issue now is will Hamas surrender and disarm as did the Germans and Japs in 1945, or is this just a brief respite in an ongoing never ending slog?
History in this area is Not encouraging.

Pathetic Virginia Democrats

Top Virginia Democrats stand-by and support their DA candidate, Jones, who by his own public pronouncements is disqualified to be Va’s top prosecutor!
The Dem’s have totally lost not only the ‘high ground’ but any ground at all and may justifiably lose other state-level positions as a result!

Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine defended his fellow Democrat, former Del. Jay Jones of Norfolk, as the attorney general nominee’s campaign unravels after texts surfaced depicting Jones envisioning the murder of a top state Republican.
Pressed ahead of a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Tuesday, Kaine said Jones’ comments were "indefensible" but that he is "still a supporter" of his candidacy against incumbent Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares.

The Hamas-Gaza-Butchers Are Winning
-
The Hamas-Terrorists are amazing! They brazenly butcher people and rape, torture and murder the ‘survivors’ and simultaneously garner major public support and sympathy for themselves and their cause.
-
Apparently Jews are being discounted and denigrated today much like they were in 1939!
Apparently having a massively successful homeland in the middle of a desert, surrounded by hostile-militant anti-Semites and having successful supportive-relatives around the world is cause for distain and bigotry as so vividly being demonstrated on US University campuses.

Democratic Party’s shift against Israel manifests in the ascent of Zohran Mamdani in New York
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/oct/6/democratic-partys-shift-israel-manifests-ascent-zohran-mamdani-new/
Zohran Mamdani’s insurgent campaign for New York City mayor is casting a spotlight on a rising faction within the Democratic Party and beyond that rejects unconditional support for the Israeli government and is more sympathetic to the plight of Palestinians.
Mr. Mamdani’s outspoken condemnation of the “genocide” in the Gaza Strip, along with his pledge to honor the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has sparked fierce backlash from pro-Israel advocates.

Peace talks between Israel and Hamas were resuming at an Egyptian resort city on Tuesday, the two-year anniversary of the militant group’s surprise attack on Israel that triggered the bloody conflict that has seen tens of thousands of Palestinians killed in Gaza.
The second day of indirect negotiations in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh are focused on a plan proposed by U.S. President Trump last week that aims to bring about an end to the war in Gaza.

His call to slow down accelerated learning is an opening for Andrew Cuomo.

Zohran Mamdani said late last week he wants to end the gifted and talented program for kindergartners in New York’s public schools. News reports say he’d allow this accelerated instruction only beginning in grade 3, with a campaign spokesman arguing 5-year-olds shouldn’t be “subjected” to a policy that “unfairly separates them right at the beginning of their public school education.”
-
Socialism in a nutshell: A persistent fear that somebody, somewhere, might be getting ahead and ought to be yanked back. Is this the political opening Andrew Cuomo has been waiting for? “That program is the one program that allows extraordinary students to actually excel,” Mr. Cuomo said in response. “You take away gifted and talented,” he added, “the one possibility that your child might get a really first-class education in public schools goes with it.”

Trump and Netanyahu agree to Gaza peace deal, warn Hamas to accept or Israel ‘will finish the job’
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/sep/29/trump-netanyahu-agree-gaza-peace-deal-warn-hamas-accept-israel-finish/
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed Monday to support President Trump’s 20-point plan to end the war in the Gaza Strip, and both leaders said Hamas must accept the deal or Israel will have the “full backing” of the U.S. to eliminate the terrorist group.
Appearing together at the White House, Mr. Trump and Mr. Netanyahu hailed the plan as a major step toward peace in the Palestinian enclave as the second anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel draws closer.

AI The DayBefore
-
Every day we are flooded with “news” about AIs future massive impacts on our lives, society and finances. Everyone’s life and job will be significantly changed. Our personal judgements, opinions and work-product marginalized and rejected as trivia and ignored.
Some entities are presenting AI as the all-powerful Fortune Teller foretelling the future based on massive data of the past and present and cause/effect relationships far too complex for today’s analysis or our comprehension.
As we try to comprehend what AI will yield going forward, we might reflect on what AIs proclamations would have been “the day before” significant events occurred that profoundly changed history and fortunes.
If AI were Not able to predict those key events, how could society depend on AIs proclamations and projections to protect our lives and fortunes?
What would AIs proclamations have been “the day before” these events?

Democrat Government ShutDown
-
The Democrat approval level is 30% -- what can we do to reduce it even more?
The House voted to keep the Government open and working.
Democrats Schumer & Jeffries --- Dumb & Dumber ---- let’s have the Senate shut-down the Government!
The shutdown commenced hours after the Senate rejected a short-term spending measure that would have kept government operations afloat through November 21.
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-government-begins-shut-down-most-operations-after-congress-fails-advance-2025-10-01/
Trump, whose campaign to radically reshape the federal government is already on track to push out some 300,000 workers by December, warned congressional Democrats that a shutdown could clear the path for "irreversible" actions including cutting more jobs and programs.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-orders-deployment-troops-portland-153033446.html?fr=yhssrp_catchall
The National Guard will be deployed to Portland, Oregon, for the next two months, following an order by US President Donald Trump.

Trump on Saturday said he had authorized the use of "full force" if needed to suppress protests targeting immigration detention centers.
