Most economists, bankers, investors thought that the US Economy would be in a strong growth trend in 2024-2025.
We saw millions of workers going back to work, 75% of Americans were immunized and some of the thousands of businesses, that had closed or cut back, seemed to be hiring again.
But then a few things happened:…
We have watched with emotion and sympathy, to see the youth of Iran, "march and fight with their feet" in peaceful demonstrations, demanding policy changes, sometimes even regime changes in Iran, for the rights of women. See the photos of youth in Iran, killed by representatives of the Iranian Government, for peaceful demonstration asking for freedom of how to wear their scarves...
Our world is conflicted. We worry about gas prices, but perhaps we should worry about political/sociological conflicts. *The U.S. Congress can't even agree on leaders...after multiple votes. Loud angry, opinionated radical bullies seem do dominate the more moderate majority. *N Koreas is obsessed with new missiles of destructions and seems to want an international nuclear war...
This fellow (you instantly recognize him) has been known to imprison, or even kill someone he doesn't like...ah yes, a dictator's character. the one below Putin's failed "conquest" to rebuild the old Russian Empire. If a "picture is worth 1000 words".... these two must be worth...say...at least 2,000 words...
Elections are over again. We are thankful that the American people voted, in high numbers, for stability, peace and prosperity! Woodrow Wilson would have been proud of Americans, with this "peaceful election". Listen to his words: Republicans in America do not have to hate Democrats.

And it seems that in more cases than not, walls often “contain” men of action and focus battles and negative results. I have often wondered if walls do not cause more issues by restraint than they solve as “symbols of power”...
Updated: 10-25-2022: Women in Iran have been working for progress for years.

Someone in the Kremlin of Russia, came up with a story that a little farming country to the south was "to be siezed because it was a threat." Moscow announced to them that they are going to take all, or a part of the country. The little country said: "Why?" "No, you can't do that!" Russia invades. Sound familiar? The year was 1939 , Joseph Stalin a cruel and rough leader of Russia wanted Finland...
KLEPTOCRACY , a word derived from the Greek "kl'eptes", or "klepto" "to steal" and the second portion "kratos "corrupt power, rule" Kleptocracy, "To steal through corrupt power and rule"...is a word to learn well...
