the News is not a

A
million plus people a month can't
be wrong!
June 24, 2025 Mr. Zohran Mandani has won the Democratic party
endorsement against Mr. Andrew Cuomo and others, to be the Democratic
candidate for Mayor in the November elections. Mr. Mandani, who is 33
years old and is a Democratic Socialist, wants to change many city
standards to favor the poor, workers and people who have not been
able to prop themselves up. His primary points are to prevent rent
increases, increase taxes to people and companies making more than 1
million dollars per year, to make real estate taxes based on current
values, in order to lower the taxes of property in marginal, often
high crime areas and increase taxes on properties in areas that have
recently increased in value. So for example a person who purchased a
home 30 years ago in what was a marginal area and now the area is
considered desirable, will have to pay significantly higher taxes,
perhaps in the order for two to seven times more.
June 24, 2025 Today is the City of New York Democratic primary to
determine, which candidate will run for the office of the Mayor in
the City of New York. The two primary candidates are Andrew Cuomo,
who was a three times governor in New York State until he was forced
to resign because of sexual misconduct allegations and Zohran
Mandani, a 33 year old New York State representative, who was born in
Uganda and came to the United States as a child. Till a few days ago,
Mr. Cuomo was the favored candidate, however polls over the past few
days indicate that Mr. Mandani is in the lead.
June 24, 2025 President Donald J. Trump called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu and demanded that the Israeli Prime Minister
immediately order his bombers to return home. Clearly Mr. Trump was
enraged by Israel's actions.
June 24, 2025 President Donald J. Trump was enraged by Israel's
massive bombing of Iran after it was agreed to cease hostilities in
12 hours. Mr. Trump said that he was very unhappy wish Israel since
he was shocked that Israel would launch such an attack on Israel
after the agreement was made. Mr. Trump also said that Iran had
violated the agreement, however it was clear that Trumps anger was
directed towards Israel
June 23, 2025 President Donald J. Trump has announced a cease fire
between Israel and Iran. Israel started the war 12 days ago when it
conducted a Pearl Harbor type of sneak attack ("preemptive
strike") against Iran targeting top Iranian scientists, and
government officials as well as various Iranian research centers.
Many of the top officials were in apartment buildings that had many
tenants and Israel blew up the buildings killing many innocent people.
Sometimes military officials refer to this as "collateral
damage", which is a nice was of explaining indiscriminate
killing of civilians.
June 22, 2025 A Norweigian man was prevented from entering into the
United States, through Newark International Airport because he had a
meme on his phone depicting Vice President Vance as being overweight.
Some people say that this is government overreach and it an example
of freedom of speech and freedom of expression being trampled on.
Some people have noted the irony in that Mr. Vance made a memorable
speech at the Munich Security conference a few months back,
complaining about the lack of freedom of speech in Modern western Europe.
June 22, 2025 If Iran closes the Straight of Hormuz, as Iran stated
that it would, 25 percent of all oil shipments and almost the same in
natural gas shipments would be cut off from the rest of the world. In
1977, Iran closed off the Straight of Hormuz and this resulted in a
huge oil shortage on the east coast of the United States with cars
waiting on line for many blocks to buy gas, which was limited to 5
gallons, every other day. Since the world is so dependent on oil and
gas and since there is not any substitute, such a massive decline in
fuel could easily lead to major economic problems worldwide. Further,
such things as air transport, trucking and even ship transport
greatly curtailed or excessively expensive. A 2003 U.S. military
study covering the possibility of the closure of the Straight of
Hormuz, led the military to believe that they would not be able to
keep the straight open.
June 22, 2025 Iran today announced that it is closing the Straight of
Hormuz, the narrow waterway traveled by oil and gas tankers as well
as freight and container ships traveling from the Persian Gulf to the
Indian Ocean. The Straight is about 16 miles wide, however the
shipping lane itself is only about 1 mile wide, with the rest of the
Straight too shallow for large boats.
IMPORTANT NEWS: June
21, 2025 The United States has attacked Iran. The
United States attacked Iran this evening at 8PM (United States
Eastern Standard Time). President Trump had stated that there would
be a two week pause in any potential hostilities, though the United
States attacked sooner. According to U.S. sources, the Iranian
nuclear research centers were completely destroyed. Independent
verification of this has not yet been made. It is not known how many
people were killed in this bombardment. Further, it is not known what
the long term repercussions will be. More news coming.
NOTE: As
mentioned earlier, "the first victim in war is truth".
News1.net is not in a position of verifying any of the reports coming
from all sides regarding this war.
June 16, 2025 It is estimated that the Iranian
missals carry between 700 and 2,000 pounds of high explosives. This
would mean that one missal has the potential to completely destroy 2
or 3 blocks and also, shatter the windows and other damage for a much
greater area. If reports of Iran having still another 2,000 missals
left are true, one can see the enormous potential damage that they
can cause on Israel.
June 16, 2025 Iran has apparently successfully
bombed Haifa, Tel Aviv and other Israeli towns. It is believed that
Israel's missile factory was damaged or destroyed. It is also
believed that Israel military complex, compared to the Pentagon, has
been destroyed. Further reports have stated that a major power plant
in Haifa was severely damaged or destroyed and other reports indicate
a power blackout in areas of Israeli None of these reports have been
verified, though clearly many Iranian missals are hitting Israeli cities.
June 15, 2025 The Israeli government has ordered
that private people and news agencies not publicize Iranian missal
strikes and not distribute Israel being attacked.
NOTE: It is
estimated that Iran has over 10,000 misiles with an estimated 3,000
missiles with a range long enough to his Israel. An estimated 185
missiles have been launched and either hit Israel or were intercepted
by Israelis so called "Iron Dome" missile defense system.
The destruction in Israel has shown that the much tauted "Iron
Dome" is far from completely effective. Israel has claimed that
only 2,000 long range Iranian missals still exist and that over 800
have been destroyed on the ground. Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that
Iran would be able to manufacture 300 long range missals per month by 2026.
June 15, 2025 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu has stated that Israel now commands the sky's over Iran.
This seems to be questionable since Iran has continued to fire long
range missiles at Israel during daytime with success.
"The first victim in war is the truth"
is a statement that was made over 2,000 years ago in ancient Greece
and has been repeated many times in history. The Israeli intelligence
office moto is "By deception we conquer". One has to
question the validity of news coming from both sides.
June 14, 2025 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu has stated that Israel's intentions is merely to prevent
Iran from attaining an atomic bomb. Reports from Iran however counter
this since Israel has also hit apartment buildings, power plants, oil
refineries and other facilities that have nothing to do with atomic
bomb production.
June 14, 2025 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
has stated that the attack on Iran will continue. Israel has attacked
other facilities around Iran. The stated reason for Israel's attack
on Iran was to eliminate Iran's Nuclear potential and it is alleged
that Iran was only weeks away from being able to produce an atomic
bomb. The United States government before the American Congress has
repeatedly stated that Iran was not trying to build at atomic bomb.
Israel has never allowed weapon inspectors to analyses Israel's
atomic potential, though the mass media has repeatedly claimed that
Israel has about 90 atomic bombs. Israel has not confirmed nor denied
this claim.
June 13, 2025 Iran is referring to Israel attack on Iran as a Pearl
Harbor type of sneak attack on Iran, since that attack occurred while
peace negotiations were still being conducted between Iran and the
United States. Iran is alluding to the Japanese attack of December 7,
1941 on the U.S. Naval base at Pearl Harbor, in what was then, the
Territory of Hawaii while the United States and Japan were still
negotiating peace in Washington DC. Hawaii at that point had been a
protectorate of the United States for 44 years and its population was
about 45% Japanese and the balance, native Hawaiians and other
Polynesian people from Islands such as Guam.
June 13, 2025 Iran has retaliated against Israel attack by bombing
key Israeli cities including Haifa, Tel Aviv and other areas. Damage
reports are still coming in.
June 13, 2025 Israeli claims that it's "preemptive strike"
bombing of Iran was focused on Iran's nuclear research centers,
nuclear facilities, and has also killed top Iranian scientists in
residential buildings as well as top Iranian government officials. An
estimated 25 people have been killed in the attack on Iran.
June 12, 2025 Israel Attacked
Iran at about 8:30PM Eastern Standard U.S. Time.
June 6, 2025 President Trump has banned the citizens of 12 countries
from entering into the USA. These include a complete ban of citizens
from Afghanistan, Myanmar (Burma), Chad, The Republic of the Congo,
Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and
Yemen. Additionally citizens from 7 other countries are being greatly
restricted from entering the United States including Burundi, Cuba,
Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. Citizens from
these seven countries will still be eligible for certain temporary
visas, such as the H-1B work visas.
June 5, 2025 Mayor Eric Adam's has set the speed limit for electric
bikes to 15 miles per hour, down from 25 miles per hour. As Frank
Didik of News1.net has insisted, this is not enough and that the
speed should be limited by electronic devices to 9 miles per hour,
which is the average pedal bike trip speed and also the need for
bicycle registration, license plates and insurance.
June 5, 2025 President Donald J. Trump stated that a minimum of 25%
of the income of Elon Musk's controlled companies, Tesla and Space X,
comes from the Federal Government (taxpayers). Some say the amount is
greater than 25%. President Trump said that government spending to
Musks companies should end immediately. President Trump has proposed
eliminating contracts to Mr. Musk's companies. In retaliation, Mr.
Musk stated that he will immediately suspend development of certain
rockets from Space X. Some legal experts state that such a move by
Mr. Musk would violate certain Federal Laws.
June 5, 2025 Elon Musk has tweeted that the files on the convicted
(and now dead) pedefile, Epstein have not been completely released
since President Donald J. Trump is in some of the files. Essentially
one might think that Mr. Musk is implying that President Trump has in
some way, committed moral wrong, without actual proof. Mr. Musk seems
to want to want to hurt Mr. Trumps reputation and even have Mr. Trump
pushed out of office. President Trump has stated that Mr. Musk as
gone crazy.
June 4, 2025. Elon Musk is opposed to President Donald J. Trump's new
budget spending bill since Mr. Musk feels that the amount of the
bill, which will add three trillion dollars to the existing federal
deficit, over a period of ten years. Some are speculating that there
is another reason for Mr. Musk's opposition to the new spending bill
that includes the fact that subsidies for electric cars are
curtailed, as well as mandates that people be forced to buy electric
cars is being eliminated. This would greatly hurt Mr. Musk's businesses.
June 4, 2025 Russia has admitted that the Ukraine attacked and caused
damage on aircraft in several Russian airforce bases throughout
Russia, however Russia stated that many of the video's of the attack
are in fact created by Artificial Intelligence (AI). Russian sources
also have stated that the damaged aircraft will be refurbished,
implying that the damage was not severe.
June 2, 2025 Democratic Congressman Jerry Nadler, representing New
York, is demanding a probe into the unprecedented and potentially
illegal raid by officers from the DHS, of Congressman Nadler's
office. A Congressman is immune from any and all alleged or real
crimes while in office, though a raid on his office may be a grey
area, but most agree that a warrant must be served in order to
inspect any premises.
June 2, 2025 The Ukrainian attack on the five Russian air bases has
led to many speculations and fears. Some military "experts"
wonder if in fact NATO or other players were behind the attack. Some
are speculating that other than Ukrainian sources supplied the
Ukraine with logistic, technical and satellite data. Other military
"experts" fear that the line has truly been crossed this
time and that a full, all out war may erupt, that some feel may
include nuclear weapons and a wider attack including on NATO
counties. There is also a fear of a truly global war, but one has to
hope this will not be the result. Russia has the largest nuclear
force, or so some "experts" say. As the Ukraine has shown
us, it is almost impossible to predict the outcome of any war. Even
the strongest and seemingly invincible can be defeated. As a historic
note, in 1812, Napoleon had the largest army in the world, the
comprised of 820,000 troops from 22 European countries, when he
attacked Russia. Through methodical withdrawals and selective
attacks, the Russians cut the size of the Napoleon army down to under
300,000. Just before the winter set in, Napoleon decided to retreat
from his conquered Moscow city and in the end, it is estimated that
just 25,000 soldiers survived from Napoleon's original 820,000
soldier army.
June 1, 2025 The Ukraine launched a militarily brilliant attack on
five Russian Air bases, deep inside Russia, including in Siberia,
3500 miles away from Kiev, Murmansk, about 900 miles away from Kiev
and three other bases. The Ukraine is claiming that they destroyed 41
top of the line Russian bombers, which the Ukraine claims represents
34% of Russia's entire heavy bomber fleet and costs a minimum of 7
billion dollars. The attack was cleverly orchestrated by the Ukraine
by placing 117 small attack suicide drones that were placed in a
hidden roof compartment inside standard shipping containers and was
then delivered across Russia and left near the Russian air bases by
unsuspecting truck drivers. By remote control, the roofs of the
containers opened up and each drone then targeted parked Russian
bombers and exploded on the wing fuel tanks. After the drones were
launched, the containers self destructed. Many questions remain, such
as how the drones were controlled from such a far distance from the
Ukraine, and also how were the video footage of the attacks were made
and transmitted.
May 28, 2025 In a stunning development, United States Democratic
Congressman Jerry Nadler's New York office was raided by Federal
Agents and one of congressman Nadler's aides was detained and later
released. The excuse was that the Congressman's office was harboring
"rioters". News1.net is unaware of any "riot"
that occurred in New York City. The raid is stunning and unheard of.
By the Constitution and Federal law, a Congressman is immune from any
and all alleged or real crimes while in office. Further, the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers did not have a warrant
to search the Congressman's office. A congressman's office is a grey
area, though many scholars feel that such a raid on a congressman
office crosses the line and creates a dangerous precedent of
separation of powers. Though Congressman Nadler is a Democrat, people
from the Republican Party also question the legality of the raid.
May
22, 2025 The United States Treasury has announced that the one cent
coin, commonly known as the "penny ", named after the
British Penny, will no longer be produced after the last blank
penny's are stamped. The one cent denomination coin has been in
production since 1793, though the design, and physical size has
changed a number of times. The stated reason for cessation of
production was that it costs 3.69 cents to produce one penny. It is
assumed that the cessation of the penny will lead to slight inflation
since merchants will probably round up, rather than round down, the
cost of an item. This will have an effect primarily on lower priced
goods. Many people, for convenience, use their debit or credit card,
rather than than cash. Cash of course, offers far greater privacy.
The penny will be missed, including the legions of young coin collectors.
May
21, 2025 Two Israeli embassy workers were shot to death while
leaving the Jewish Museum in Washington DC. The assailment, who is
from Chicago, yelled out to free Palestine"" as he was
being arrested at the scene.
May
18, 2025 A Mexican Navy tall ship lost power in the East River,
between Brooklyn and Manhattan and the tide caused it to crash into
the Brooklyn Bridge. The three masts of the ship, the Cauhtemoc, were
snapped in half. The ship was a training ship for Mexican cadets. It
was reported that two cadets were sadly killed, and seventeen
injured, with four of the injuries being critical. The ship had 277
people on board. After losing power, the tide, moving at 4 knots/5
status miles per hour, caused the ship to drift backwards into the
Brooklyn Bridge (finished in 1883) and very close to Brooklyn
Bridge/Dumbo Park.

16, 2025 Former FBI Director James Comey posted a photograph made
from sea shells on the beach that read "86 47" on
Instagram. Many people have interpreted this to mean to get rid of
President Donald J. Trump, who is the 47 U.S. president. Some have
gone as far as to say Comey was encouraging assassination of the
President. Mr. Comey is now under investigation.
May
16, 2025 The United States Supreme Court has ruled 7 to 2 that the
Trump administration must give more time before deporting illegal
aliens who somehow illegally entered the United States, before
deporting them. The extra time is to allow the illegal aliens time to
prepare a defense in order to stay in the United States, and
presumably, to make their illegal act, legal.

13, 2025 Some U.S. military experts are saying that there are too

26 generals for each division. These numbers are vastly higher than
the number of officers that the United States had in World War Two,
the Korean War or the Vietnam War.

8, 2025 Cardinal Robert Prevost is elected to be the next Catholic
Church Pope and has taken the name Pope Leo XIV. Cardinal Prevost was
born in Chicago. It remains to be seen if the new Pope Leo XIV will
continue the liberal ideas of the recently deceased Pope Francis,
that has greatly divided the Church. Pope Francis pushed the ideas of
John Paul II of a union of religions and that all religions are a way
to reach God. Pope Francis also opposed excessive prayer, attempting
to convert non-Catholics into Catholics and he seemed to encourage
homo-sexual unions.
April

person who stabbed him.

April
21, 2025 The Pope is Dead. Jorge
Mario Bergolio, also known as Pope Francis since 2013, is dead. He
was elected to the position as Pope of the Roman Catholics in 2013.
He was the first person from the America's to be come Pope and was
also the first Jesuit to become Pope. His tenure as pope was highly
controversial. First because the Prior Pope, Benedict XVI resigned,
rather than being deceased. This was not the first time this
situation occurred, but nevertheless, was considered highly unusual.
Pope Francis was also considered highly liberal. He advocated and
supported many ideas that was considered "woke" including
the controversial theory of "Climate Change" or "global
warming", he was a strong supporter of open borders and
cultural mixing, he supported the Covid agenda, which now many
believe to be either a fabricated hoax or greatly exaggerated
"pandemic ". Pope Francis also attempted to curtail the
Latin Mass, that had been the main Roman Catholic service from about
300AD till 1969, when it was supplanted by the "Novus Order
"or new order Mass. Pope Francis was also known for cutting a
deal with the Chinese government, that many suspected involved the
transfer of billions of dollars to the Church, though the details
were never released. The Pope was very tolerant towards homosexual
unions, which seemed to run contrary to traditional Catholic
teachings. At the same time, the Pope seemed to minimize the abuse by
some Catholic Clergy against mostly male minors. The number of
abusive Clergy, according to some, exceeded 15,000 since 1900. The
Pope also rarely addressed the abortion issue, that so many devout
Catholics are opposed to. The Pope was also known for his quick
temper and had actually slapped a devout, young Chinese woman who
tried to ask him why he was undermining devout Catholics in China, by
cutting deals with the Chinese government. He also slapped a
wheelchair bound boy who had medical motor disability and who had
briefly grabbed the Popes outfit. In 1976, during Argentina's dirty
war, Francis was accused of not helping two Jesuit priests who had
been kidnapped and tortured for six months. Some even allege that
Francis was instrumental in their ordeal. The allegations were
eventually dismissed, though paperwork contradicts Frances
explanation of the events. Some people accused Pope Francis of being
a socialist or even a communist. Prior to becoming president of
Argentina, Javier Milei referred to Pope Francis as an "imbecile
and a communist turd"". Prior to becoming a priest and
later a pope, Francis worked as a Janitor and later, bouncer at an
Argentinean disco.

April
16 2025 President Donald Trumps high import tax that ranges from 10%
to over 200% may lead to major shortages in American stores. It is
estimated that over 70% of the products purchased in the United
States have Chinese made components or are completely made in China.
The import tax (Tariff) of Chines products and the ship docking tax,
based on tonnage, comes to 246%. Thus a product that costs $1.00
today, will cost $3.46 (minimum) after the local supplies in
warehouses runs out. This high Tariff essentially bans all Chinese
manufactured products. The belief is that the United States will
suffer short term pain but manufacturing will return to the United
States. It did in fact work in Brazil, though the conditions were different.

President Donald J. Trump is accusing the Ukrainian strong man,
Zelensky of trying to back out of the proposed mineral deal to repay
the United States for the well over 100 Billion dollars in military

would be giving up well over 50% of their mineral and farming resources.

many are opposed to unlimited abortion.
March 31, 2025 The
United States continues to bomb Yemen. Yemen has been blockading the
Red Sea in protest of Israeli bombing of Gaza and the West Bank.
Yemen has stated that they will stop their blockade if fighting ends
in those locations. Most military people are surprised by the
effectiveness of Yemen's home grown arms industry.
March 31, 2025 The
Israeli war in Gaza, West Bank and Syria continues unabated. Some say
the end goal is to expel the Palestinians and to create the Israeli
founder David Ben-Gurion's dream of greater Israel. A map of Greater
Israel is on a shoulder patch of some IDF soldiers. Time will tell
how this all plays out.

March 30, 2025 President Donald J. Trump will continue his desire for
tariffs on goods from other countries. These tariffs are expected to
generate 7 Trillion Dollars per year or more. The effect will be that
many foreign products will increase in price dramatically, that is to
say 25% or more. These tariffs over time will lead to more products
being manufactured in the United States and more jobs created. From
World War 2 till the late 1970's, America was the worlds leading
manufacturer. Since the 1970's and before, there has been a push to
minimize the notion of country borders and create a one world type of
global community. The European Union and NAFTA (North American Free
Trade Agreement) are two examples. Mr. Trump is pushing
isolationalism which he, and many others, feel will indeed bring
manufacturing back to the United States,though there might be short
term financial pain.

This almost
completely under utilized bike lane is on the Brooklyn Bridge. Bike
lanes cause massive congestion and are completely under utilized.
Time to reconsider them. In the winter, there are hardly any bike
riders. In the summer, most bike riders are men under the age or 45,
who are physically fit, thus only a small percentage of the
population benefits from bike lanes. Further, bikers rarely obey
traffic laws, are not insured and do not pay any type of road tax. |

March 28, 2025 The Trump administration, while making beautiful
speeches about the importance of free speech, has embarked on a
program of arresting non-citizen protesters who were vocally
expressing their opinions. Some feel that regardless of the speech,
the arrest and deportation of protesters might lead to American
citizens arrested or worse. The fact is that arresting people for
speech is nothing new in the United States or for that matter,
anywhere in the world. For example, arrests for unpopular opinions

and Canada. All Chinese imports will be taxed 20%. The import tax
imposed on Mexico and Canada will depend on the product. For example,
energy related products from Canada will be taxed 10% while other
products will be higher. Canada, China and Mexico has stated that
they will retaliate with their own import taxes against American
products ranging from 10 to 25%. Products are expected to rise in
price in the United States. The import tax may also cause foreign
companies to start producing products in the United States.

was started on February 24, 2022 to prevent the Ukraine from joining

February
28, 2025 President of the United States, Donald J. Trump and Vice
President of the United States JD Vance had an explosive meeting with
the Ukrainian strongman, Volodymyr Zelensky. Few people could have
imagined such a turn of events, just a few months ago. President
Trump and Vice President Vance are demanding immediate peace in the
Ukraine. Zelensky spoke in a condescending manner to both President
Trump as well as Vice President Vance. President Trump said that
Zelensky has disrespected the United States. Trump also said that
without the 350 Billion Dollars that the United States has given the
Ukraine in the form of money as well as advanced military equipment,
that the Ukraine would have been conquered in two weeks. President
Trump also said that Zelensky never thanked the United States for the
huge amount of money given to the Ukraine. Trump also said that
Zelensky is leading the world into a World War 3. President Trump has
said that Zelensky is a dictator. Zelensky's term as the Ukrainian
president ended last year and Zelensky refused to hold new
presidential elections. President Trump said that Zelensky only has
4% of the Ukrainian population who wants him. Strongman Zelensky was
led out of the Oval Office after two hours without any treaties being signed.

February
25, 2025 Opinion: It
seems that NATO is on its last legs. The United States is clearly at
odds with Europe, regarding Europe's continued support for the
Ukraine, abortion, the curtailed freedom of speech in Europe and a
wide range of other topics.
February
19, 2025 The end of the hated Congestion Pricing, in Manhattan below
60 Street, may be ending soon. The United States Department of
Transportation is rescinding it's approval. Tolls are not allowed to
be collected on all highways and roads that receive federal money,
without special permission of Congress. Most people felt that
congestion pricing favored the rich over the working class people and
made it easier for wealthy people, who are price insensitive, to
drive on the roads. Congestion pricing has greatly effected the
working class and small businesses, who depend on non locals for
business. Many felt that it was a money grab.
February
19, 2025 U.S. President Donald J. Trump has referred to Ukrainian
strongman Zelensky as a "dictator without elections".
President Trumps statement was alluding to the fact that Mr.
Zelensky's presidential term ended in 2024 and then Mr. Zelensky
suspended elections. According to some, Mr. Zelensky's popularity was
under 4% of the Ukrainian population, while Mr. Zelensky's polls
stated that his popularity was over 50%.
Russian-Ukrainian
war background information:
On the simplest level, the war was started on February 24, 2022, when
Russia moved into disputed Ukrainian territory to protect the Russian
majority in eastern Ukraine. Further, the Ukraine was attempting to
become a NATO member and Russia did not want the potential for NATO
troops and missiles on its border. There are other factors. Eastern
Ukraine is populated by Russian people who felt that they were being
discriminated by the Ukrainian government. Historically, eastern
Ukraine was a part of Russia till the 1920's when Stalin transferred
ownership from Russia to the Ukraine. Further, Krushev, in the 1950's
transferred the Crimea from Russia to the Ukraine. Kiev was the
capital of Russland, till it was moved to Moscow in the 800's. The
Russian and Ukrainian people are ethnically almost the same, with
essentially the same language and the same Orthodox religion.
February
18, 2025 New York Senator Chuck Schumer said he partially blames
President Donald J. Trump for the crash landing of the Delta Airlines
plane in Toronto, claiming that Trump has fired FAA staff. It was
then pointed out to Senator Schumer that the plane crash landed
because of severe 50 mile per hour winds in Toronto and further, the
plane was under the control of Canadian, not American air traffic
controllers. Also, Mr. Trump did not fire any air traffic
controllers, but rather only excess office workers in the FAA.
February
17, 2025 The United States and Russia are negotiating to end the war
in the Ukraine in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Neither the European Union
nor Mr. Zelensky, who runs the Ukraine, but who's Ukrainian election
mandate ended in 2024 were invited to the negotiations. The feeling
among the negotiators is that the only "legitimate" power
in Ukraine, is the Ukrainian parliament, which is elected, while Mr.
Zelensky, who suspended elections, is felt to be a type of
"strongman" governing without a mandate. Apparently the
United States and Russia feels that the western European
"European Union" is not a party to the conflict, other than
the fact that the EU is supplying arms to the Ukrainian side. The
United States has given 350 Billion (350 thousand million) dollars in
military aid to the Ukraine, while the European Union has given 150
Billion Dollars in military aid to the Ukraine. The European
"aid" is in the form of loans, while the American aid is in
the form of grants. Most feel that the Ukraine is losing the conflict.
February
16, 2025 A Delta Airlines plane landing in Toronto Canada flipped
over because of very high winds exceeding 45 miles per hour.
Thankfully, all 80 people on board survived, though 18 sustained non
life threatening injuries.
February
15, 2025 Ultra "liberal" opponents of New York City Mayor
Eric Adams are demanding that Mr. Adams resign or that New York State
Governor Hochul remove Mr. Adams from office. Most feel that these
calls are political since though Mr. Adams is a life long Democrat,
he is in favor of law and order and is opposed to massive, illegal
immigration and wants to work with the U.S. Federal agency in charge
of deportations of illegals.
February
2, 2025 U.S. President Donald J. Trump has suspended the United
States federal agency, USAID for at least 90 days. It has been
reported that the USAID has manipulated and funded journalists and
news outlets world wide, including in the United States, to the tune
of hundreds of millions of dollars. This clearly has the potential to
control the news and manipulate the people.
January
20, 2025 12:40PM President Trump has ended is extremely well
received speech and has said "God Bless America", which
American have very much respected. For many years, the United States
has been sliding into Atheism and this was particularly well received.

January
20, 2025 Thousands of Palestinian hostages, held by Israel,

January
20, 2025 8:00 AM Many senior State Department diplomats have handed
in their resignation, effective at 12 noon today, as instructed to do
so by President Elect Donald Trumps aids.
January
20, 2025 7:45 AM President Biden issued "preemptive
pardons" early this morning to a number of people including
General Milley, Dr. Fouci, Police officers who testified at the
January 6 "insurrection hearings" and to the panel members
themselves. President Biden stressed that the individuals did not do
anything wrong, though some may disagree. Many questions arise from
these pardons for people who have yet to be charged with a crime.
Also, can the pardons be rescinded by President Elect Trump, after he
is sworn as the 47 president later today.
January
20, 2025 President elect Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as the 47
President of the United States at 12 noon in Washington DC. Mr. Trump
also served as president of the United States from 2016 to 2020 as
the 45 President of the United States. This separation is not unheard
of since President Grover Cleveland also served two similar terms,
with Grover Cleveland, the unpopular Benjamin Harris and Grover
Cleveland again in the late 1800s, as 22 president from 1885 to 1889
and again as 24 president from 1893 to 1897. Because of the extremely
cold weather, Mr. Trump will be sworn in inside of the nations
capital, rather than outside. This also happened 40 years ago with
the swearing in of former President Ronald Reagan.

January
19, 2025 Israel and Palestine have come to a cease fire agreement
and to release some of the thousands of Palestinian hostages and 33
Israeli hostages. Some feel that Israel was compelled to do this
since with Mr. Trump tomorrow again being president, that Mr. Trump
may well have been stronger with the Israeli's.
January
19, 2025 New York City and the entire east coast was hit by a winter
snowstorm and dropping temperatures this evening. Many media pundits
claimed that NYC would be blanketed by 6" of snow, however the
snow accumulation was less than 1". The National weather service
however predicted 1" to 3". Unfortunately some media
outlets tend to exaggerate stories.
January
18, 2025 President elect has decided to conduct his swearing in
ceremony on January 20 indoors do the extreme cold expected in
Washington DC on that day. The last time the swearing in ceremony
occurred indoors was over 40 years ago.

January
15, 2025 Congestion pricing has significantly reduced vehicle
traffic in Manhattan below sixtieth street. This has also meant a
decline in shoppers, diners, and sales tax revenue. Obviously any
congestion can be reduced by simply eliminating the under used bike
lanes that reduce street traffic for cars that pay tax for the roads
and also to restore the more realistic 30 miles per hour speed limit.
January
14, 2025 Congestion pricing continues to outrage many New Yorkers.
Everything is going up in price. Taxi's, deliveries, and much more.
The MTA claims a reduced traffic figure of 16%, or 273,000 fewer
vehicles on the road, however one may also consider that this also
means, 273,000 fewer shoppers.
January
14, 2025 It was announced by her family that Anita Bryant had passed
away on December 16, 2024. She was 84 years old. Anita Bryant was a
famous actress, singer and beauty queen. Bryant was born in
Barnsdeall, Oklahoma. She appeared on the Arthur Godfrey talent show
and won the contest when she was 18 years old. She was then the
runner up in the 1959 Miss America pageant. She went on to become a
very popular singer. She was perhaps best known for representing the
Florida Citrus Commission and her any TV commercials pushing orange
juice. In 1977, Bryant started a campaign against the acceptance of
homosexuals that she felt were a threat to children and violated her
Christian beliefs. As a result of her traditional Christian stance,
Mrs Bryant lost most of her endorsements, TV commercials and was
effectively black listed from Hollywood.
January
13, 2025 Tens of thousand of homes have been destroyed in the wild
fires of California, over the past two weeks. Further 26 people are
known to have lost their lives. Unfortunately, there are reports of
wide spread looting, and price gauging against the evacuees.
January
12, 2025 It has come out that LA had cut the budget of the LA fire
department by 46 million dollars. Further, the reservoir's are now
dry, even though the voters in California had voted 7 years ago to
increase the water supply. California Governor Newsom and LA Mayor
are being blamed for what is being called as being unprepared for the
fires, with calls for them to resign.
January
12, 2025 Massive wild fires in California around the LA area,
continue to destroy large areas. So far an estimated 35,000 acres
have been destroyed. One square mile is 640 acres, thus 54 square
miles has been destroyed. Central Park in Manhattan is about 700 acres.

8, 2025 Donald Trump has again mentioned that he wants Greenland,
which is presently a territory of Denmark, to become a part of the
United States. This would not be the first time that Denmark has sold
land to the United States. The US Virgin Islands were purchased from
Denmark for $25 million dollars. Donald Trump has also mentioned that
he wants the Panama Canal back. President Jimmy Carter gave the canal
to Panama during his controversial administration. Mr. Trump also,
part in jest, suggested that Canada become a part of the United
States and that the Gulf of Mexico be renamed, "The Gulf of
America". In response, the president of Mexico suggested
renaming the USA, "Mexico America"!
January
7, 2025 Today is Christmas day for many Orthodox Christian groups,

January 6, 2025 New York and the
entire eastern part of the United States is experiencing a cold
spell, hovering around 32F/0C. What ever happened to the promised
global warming that would have freed up millions of acres up north
for farming and would have reduced heating costs?
January 5, 2025 The immensely
unpopular, so called "Congestion Pricing " has come into
effect. All cars, vans, trucks and motorcycles entering into
Manhattan below 60 street will be charged a toll. For cars, the toll
will be $9.00 per day, though scheduled to increase to $16.00 per day
in two years. Allegedly the money will be used to improve the subway
and for the construction of the extension of the Second Avenue
Subway. It is expected that between 1.2 and 2 billion dollars per
year, will be confiscated from from drivers into the hands of the
MTA. Some are calling it a money grab, others a scam, while yet
others, a war on the middle class. Regarding congestion, the highly
under used bicycle lanes have reduced the road area by 30 percent,
yet bicycles are not insured, do not pay road tax and are used
primarily by fit people under the age of 45. The bike lanes are
hardly used in the winter or in bad weather. Another reason for the
slowing down of traffic is the ill advised "Vision Zero"
which has reduced the speed limit of cars from 30 miles per hour to
only 25 miles per hour. Today is not the freedom that America had
prior to 1965.
January 3, 2025 President Elect
Donald J. Trump will not face jail time or any fine in the "hush
money" trail, a New York Judge has ruled. However the judge did
not throw out the conviction that many feel was a political vendetta
and thus Mr. Trump will be the first sitting president convicted of a felony.

In the four
years that former President Carter will be remembered for:
-
Reinstituting
draft registration for all 18 year olds.
- 22%
inflation
- Making
business treaties with China that allowed many American industrial
companies to fire their U.S. workers and move operations to China.
- For
promoting the Neutron bomb, that is a type of atomic bomb that gives
off dangerous Neutron radiation that kills people but leave cities
and buildings largely intact
- For
pulling the United States out of the Russian Olympics and this led
to massive diplomatic conflict with Russia
- For
the 1977 oil shortage that left almost all American's with very
limited gasoline.
- For
the Iranian hostage situation and for his completely failed hostage
rescue operation that left a number of U.S. Service men dead.
- For
giving blanket amnesty for U.S. draft dodgers during the Vietnam war.
- For
giving away the American built Panama Canal
- There
are many other things that can be mentioned, however space prohibits
his full profile.
-
He
also oversaw and insisted on the peace treaty between Egypt and
Israel, which has lasted now for over 45 years. He was at the airport
in Israel and then made a speech that the Egyptians wanted peace, but
that Israel did not. At the last minute, Menace Bagen and his cabinet
sent a messenger to President carters airplane and said come back and
the treaty was sighed. Many people believed that Mr. Carter was about
to cut off aid or greatly curtail aid to Israel, had the treaty not
been signed. Many further believe that without the support of
America, Israel may not be able to continue to exist.
We
pray for his soul and give our sympathy to his family.

known as the Epiphany or the Three Kings Day.
December 24, 2024 According to the Catholic Magazine, "The

was indeed under the control of the United States. Mr. Trump has also
mentioned his desire to regain the Panama Canal, that former
President Jimmy Carter gave to Panama.
