    One particular failed US policy stands out to me:  I simply cannot understand why Biden lets Netanyahu push him around, along with Blinken and all the rest.  How can the US allow itself to be so closely associated with what amounts to genocide of innocent kids, families, starving for the barest of necessities.  More, where are all the hundreds of thousands of these unfortunates - herded South - supposed to go when the IDF determines it's time to blow up all the refugees too? 

    I know that the election is coming up.  There are about 6.5 million Jewish folks in the US, and about half that number of Arabs, I know Biden needs the liberal Jewish vote, and maybe he can figure out a way to win MI, which is home to many of Arab descent. 

    But really ... Clearly Nettie believes that the Trumpanzee will give him all the rope he needs to lay waste to half the Levant unless he's voted out of office in Israel first.  I don't understand what appears to be Biden's "kid-glove" handling of the ongoing and expanding crises in the Middle East. The current state of affairs in that area is - to my mind anyway - simply inexcusable, and our diplomats do not seem able to wring one scintilla of cooperation out of the Israeli War Cabinet.  

     

    Biden has always used old school diplomacy-quietly urging Netanyahu to stop. Fort Bend County, Texas was the first Democratic Party org in the nation to pass a ceasefire resolution, and the Texas Democratic Party followed suit. Now, we're seeing more and more county and state Dem parties call for ceasefire, which is EXACTLY what Biden needs. It shows the Dem Party at large sees ceasefire as the only viable path forward.

    However, Netanyahu is-and always has been-an authoritarian. Hopefully the criminal investigation working its way through Israeli courts will result in him being removed. I hold some hope for this, as the judiciary and population at large wants a ceasefire. Netanyahu is another Trump, and he has a whole group of his own magats.

    All I know is this: the soul of our country is at stake. The choice on the ballot this November isn't Trump or Biden, it's Christofascist theocracy or democracy-and if the former wins out...many of us won't see 2030.

    I take umbrage at such a slur on the Commonwealth of Kentucky - we also make bourbon, which some might claim to be a staple and necessity for life.

    Actually, coal/horses is a rather stereotypical view of Kentucky. Coal is only found in two limited areas and it’s an industry in decline in both) and the horse racing industry has little to do with the lives of everyday Kentuckians. It’s plenty agrarian, but there’s diversified industry here too, widely spread about, particularly along the interstate corridors. There’s a gargantuan new battery manufacturing plant being constructed the next county up, and an entire industrial park two counties down. Two smaller factories in this county alone. If people had to rely on coal and horses for a living, they’d be eating the horses.

    Bourbon is a pale imitation of true whisky.

    Sorry yeah, work happened. I've got a good chunk of writing done, but its very slow paced. I'm debating between editing it down so the story advances faster, or I can post it if people don't mind the story taking more parts to get more graphic. Let me know. I'm writing a bit every day, so its more like do you want the drawn out version of the seduction or the cliff notes?

    It's your story. I'm happy with however you want to tell it. 

  4. Would have been nice to get a popup heads up or pinned notification before I had to go download a bunch of new apps to get back on.

    Glad to see the site is still here.

     

    BTW, that landing page looks and feels like a scam site-from the "erotic content warning" to the "must be 13+ to access" (where TF is 13 "legal" to access adult content?!) it REALLY felt like y'all got hijacked.
