Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

Climate change is a national security issue.

Pentagon retreats from climate fight even as heat and storms slam troops
For decades, the military treated climate change as a threat. Now it’s backing away from plans to protect people and bases from extreme weather.

Since the Republican Political Party has assumed control of three branches of government they have assumed enemy positions against: Canada, China, Mexico, Panama, Denmark, Norway, Brazil, So Korea, Venezuela, Gaza, and Greenland ~
Literally, inventing enemies for Americans. This is the problem.

Of course, China is not buying soybeans and other agricultural products because you started this trade war. Trump declares a trade war against the whole world, and then is offended when they push back. It's so tiring to see the leader of the country who can't understand that actions = consequences.

The Four Agreements

BE
IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean.
Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others.
Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
DON'T TAKE ANYTHING
PERSONALLY
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.
DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want.
Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are tired as opposed to well-rested.
Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

How soon we forget.

Of the 220 hostages that survived,
all but 20 were released while Biden
was in office.

Trump got 20 hostages released.

Timeline of Hostage Releases During Biden's
Presidency:
• Late 2023: The first significant batch of around 105 hostages, mostly civilians, women, and children, was released during a ceasefire in November 2023. wikipedia
• 2024 to early 2025: Additional smaller batches, including some foreign nationals and elderly, were released intermittently through negotiations, humanitarian efforts, and Israeli military rescues.

• January 2025: A ceasefire agreement facilitated the release of approximately 30 more hostages, mainly women and civilians. the-independent
• Throughout 2024-2025: Various humanitarian releases continued, often involving exchanges for Palestinian prisoners or other diplomatic negotiations, summing to about 135 hostages.

The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

I sense a pardon on its way.

A tweet by Jacob Shamsian reads: “The Wall Street Journal reports that Ghislaine Maxwell had a meeting with an unknown person in her new prison camp, during which the entire prison was on lockdown. Inmates say she’s getting unusually favorable treatment by the prison.”
