Trump's Idiocy of Jerusalem



Jerusalem: Capital of Israel or Palestine? 

In a radical move away from the status quo, President Donald Trump announced yesterday that he and his administration recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and plans to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. This is a very foolish move on his part and the part of the administration by officially declaring Jerusalem as the official capital of Israel, Trump has moved towards from a two-state solution to a one-state solution and that is bad because there will be no peace and stability in the Middle East and it will ad more fuel to the fire. 

Donald Trump wants to make a legacy for himself like his predecessors before him by making this move without realizing the consequences from a political and religious standpoint; politically the United States is abandoning the two-state solution that would block the effort of establishing a independent Palestinian Arab state and the rights of the Palestinians as a identity a culture and a people, religiously it will give the Jewish extremist settlers justification in taking over more land in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Trump isn't helping with the situation he is only creating more problems for that part of the world. 

Jewish Lobbyists such as AIPAC and the Bnai Birith and the World Jewish Congress have been pushing for years for the United States government in recognizing Jerusalem as the official capital of Israel not for religious reason but for political and economic reasons. A lot of these organizations are personally influencing Trump on this decision and not caring about what will come out of this official decision. If Trump is going to be a politician of the people he has to learn to put all options on the table and look at the pros and cons before him and seek consul from advisers before making a final decision. In my opinion he just lacks the political experience and knowledge of world politics and geopolitical affairs of the Middle East.  

Sexual Harassment Out of Control



Sexual Harassment or Profiting from Fame and Wealth?

2017 has been a very interesting year with a lot of people dying from Chester Bennington of Linkin Park to Charles Manson the Notorious Cult Leader and Mass Murderer of the Manson Family to Jim Nabors who played the gullible and lovable Gomer Pyle. But what is really amazing that has many people shocked is the wave of sexual harassment and allegations by prominent people in the media and the entertainment industry and the business world. 

Harvey Weinstein one of the many once powerful people in media has fallen from grace and has been swept in a avalanche of sexual harassment of very well known and prominent like Ashley Judd, Natalie Portman to Halle Berry etc etc and from there many other women have come out as a form of a witch hunt after other actors such has James Woods, Dustin Hoffman, Geraldo Rivera, Kevin Spacey to politicians and television anchors. 

Its not new what's been going on in Hollywood and it was pretty much an open secret but it was tolerated by the media and society because of the power many media moguls had for many years but with the advent of the internet many media outlets don't have to get their news from the media but from the net and there is independent journalism more than ever before so nothing is hidden.

However I doubt the claims of many of these women that are accusing all these people of sexual abuse because one its been so many years since it "supposedly" happened and many of these women wanted to advanced their careers and many used their sexuality to their advantage and they allowed it to happened for many years and all of a sudden they are coming out saying so and so molested me or groped me or fondled me etc etc no I am I don't agree they are victims I believe they took advantage of the situation to get what they wanted at the expense of others. I don't believe in rape or abuse or harassment of anyone of any kind but if there was abuse the victims should have reported it back then and take their risks on their careers in order to do the right thing not humiliate others just because they can and profit from it.
